Brief quotations from this dissertation are allowable without special permission, provided that accurate acknowledgment of source is made. Requests for permission for extended quotation from or reproduction of this manuscript in whole or in part may be granted by the copyright holder. SIGNED: 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I could never have completed this project without the guidance, help and patience of some very special people. First and foremost, I wish to thank Dr. Douglas Weiner my dissertation director for challenging me intellectually, for sharing his expertise in environmental history and for his enthusiasm about this topic, which helped carry me through the occasional doldrums of research and writing. I also wish to thank the other two members of my dissertation committee. I am indebted to Dr. Katherine Morrissey for her rigorous and constructive critiques of my ideas and writing style, as well as her willingness to share her insights about Westem United States history, and her desire to mentor a fledgling graduate student who at times doubted whether he had made the right choice in leaving the legal profession for a Ph.D. in history. Likewise, Dr. Juan Garcia has not only contributed his insights and knowledge about twentieth century American history, but sets a standard for teaching which I hope someday to emulate. 1 thank you all. I have also benefitted from many archivists whose knowledge of source materials have opened new and varied paths for me to research. Peter Steere, former curator of the Morris and Stewart Udall Papers at the University of Arizona, helped me immeasurably as I mined these immense resources. Joe Schwartz of the National Archives in College Park Maryland pointed me to National Park Service and Interior Department records, while Barbara Walton of the Conservation Archives in Denver introduced me to the Wilderness Society and Richard Bradley collections. The archival staffs at the Denver Federal Records Center, Indiana University of Petmsylvania, Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, Clemson University, and the Bancroft Library at U. C. Berkeley all helped me utilize the resources held in these repositories while Colleen Hyde and Carolyn Richards of the Grand Canyon National Park Museum helped me to maximize my time at the canyon. I would also like to thank the many individuals with whom I have corresponded and interviewed. In particular I wish to acknowledge Dr. Stephen Jett of U.C. Davis, who testified in behalf of the Navajo tribe during the House hearings in 1966-1967 and who initiated a lively, thoughtfiil exchange of letters with me. I wish also to thank the following people who granted me personal or telephonic interviews: Stewart Udall Jeff Ingram, Sharon Francis, Frank Gregg, Floyd Dominy, George Hartzog, John Carver, Orren Beaty, and David Brower. Each of these individuals enabled me to break free of the documentary record, and experience history as they lived and shaped it. Finally, I wish to thank my parents, Ben and Kathryn Pearson for their love and support and my wife Paula, whom I cherish. Although all of the aforementioned people have facilitated the writing of this dissertation, inadequacies of interpretation or argument the reader may fmd are mine and mine alone. For Paula, my continuing inspiration . 6 TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES 7 INTRODUCTION 10 CHAPTER I: "A PROFITLESS LOCALITY" 25 CHAPTER 2: NEWTON DRURY: CANYON DEFENDER 69 CHAPTER 3: PRESERVATIONISTS RESURGENT 117 CHAPTER 4: THE PRAGMATICS OF WATER DEVELOPMENT 161 CHAPTER 5: THINK BIG! 206 CHAPTER 6: THE BATTLE IS JOINED 248 CHAPTER 7: THE NINTH CRUSADE 291 CHAPTER 8: CANYON IN THE BALANCE 337 CHAPTER 9: THE HINGE OF FATE 390 CHAPTER 10: CONCLUSION 457 WORKS CITED 488 7 LIST OF RGURES Figure LI Lees' Ferry, Grand Canyon National Park as created in 1919 .... 66 Figure 1.2 Arizona Highline Canal, Colorado-Verde Project, various dam sites surveyed during the 1922 La Rue expedition including Bridge Canyon and Red-Wall, which later became Marble Canyon 67 Figure 1.3 Grand Canyon National Monument as created in 1932 68 Figtire 2.1 Overlapping jurisdictions contiguous to the Colorado River in Grand Canyon including Indian Reservations, National Park Service lands and National Forest lands 114 Figure 2.2 The Marble Canyon-Kanab Creek Project 115 Figure 2.3 The Coconino silt retention dam and reservoir and their relation to Wupatki National Monument and Grand Canyon National Park and Monument 116 Figure 3.1 Hualapai and Navajo Reservation boundaries 160 Figure 4.1 Map showing the Prospect Dam site 205 Figure 9.1 Grand Canyon National Park after the 1975 expansion 456 8 ABSTRACT Between 1963—1968, western water interests sought to construct two dams in Grand Canyon as part of the Central Arizona Project. The Sierra Club led a national opposition campaign that environmental historians argue defeated the dams. Environmentalists claimed a great victory, and scholars and popular writers lauded the Sierra Club as the savior of Grand Canyon. Despite the laurels heaped upon the Sierra Club, its ability to mobilize public opinion did not enable it to appreciably influence Congress where the issue was actually decided. California politicians thwarted Arizona's attempts to build the project for decades, and when Stewart Udall, a former Arizona congressman became Interior Secretary in 1960, he promoted a regional plan predicated upon water importation from the Columbia River to gain California's support. Washington Senator Henry Jackson, the powerful Interior Committee Chairman, opposed the scheme, and California water strategists used Jackson's opposition and the environmentalists' campaign as pretexts to withdraw their backing in autumn of 1966. Knowing that Arizona's disproportionate political influence would end with his and Senator Carl Hayden's impending retirements, the pragmatic Udall obtained congressional passage of a bare-bones CAP without dams just months before he and Senator Hayden left office in 1968. However, the anti-dam effort was an important event in American envirormiental history because it propelled the Sierra Club to the undisputed leadership 9 of the environmental movement. Although most conservation organizations curtailed their lobbying efforts after the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Federal Lobbying Act in 1954, the club continued its legislative agenda into the next decade.

This case is a challenge to Ohio’s current United States congressional redistricting plan (the “plan” or “map”) as an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander that violates the First Amendment, the Fourteenth Amendment, and Article I of the United States Constitution. 2. The current Ohio map is one of the most egregious gerrymanders in recent history. The map was designed to create an Ohio congressional delegation with a 12 to 4 Republican advantage—and lock it in for a decade. It has performed exactly as its architects planned, including in 2012, when President Barack Obama won the state. In statewide and national elections, Ohio typically swings from Democrats to Republicans. In this decade, Republicans have secured 51% to 59% of the total statewide vote in congressional elections.

  • Demise of the Dams: the Construction, Destruction, and Legacy of Late Cenozoic Volcanism in the Western Grand Canyon
    CHAPTER 7: DEMISE OF THE DAMS: THE CONSTRUCTION, DESTRUCTION, AND LEGACY OF LATE CENOZOIC VOLCANISM IN THE WESTERN GRAND CANYON "We have no difficulty as we float along, and I am able to observe the wonderful phenomena connected with this flood of lava. The canyon was doubtless filled to a height of 1,200 to 1,500 feet, perhaps by more than one flood. This would dam the water back, and in cutting through this great lava bed, a new channel has been formed, sometimes on one side, sometimes on the other . What a conflict of water and fire there must have been here! Just imagine a river of molten rock running down a river of melted snow. What a seething and boiling of waters, what clouds of steam rolled into the heavens!" John Wesley Powell, August 25, 1869 ALISHA N. CLARK INTRODUCTION Volcanic episodes have occurred periodically throughout the history of the Grand Canyon (e.g. Garber, this volume; Bennett, this volume). During certain phases of the tectonic evolution of the Grand Canyon, uplift of the Colorado Plateau lead to an extensional tectonic environment that thinned the Earth’s crust facilitating transport of magmatic material to the Earth’s surface, often along fault zones that acted as conduits for the basaltic magma generated in the mantle below (see Bennett, this volume for discussion of regional tectonics). There are three volcanic fields on the western Grand Canyon: the Grand Wash, Shivwits Plateau, and UinKaret Plateau, from west to east, respectively. The youngest of these, the UinKaret Plateau, was active during the Pleistocene (Crow et al., 2008; Dalrymple and Hamblin, 1998; Hamblin, 1994).

  • This Fella from Arizona by James M
    Morris K. Udall -- Selected Articles: This Fella from Arizona by James M. Perry Copyright 1981 by the National Audubon Society. Reprinted from Audubon, November 1981, pp. 64-73, courtesy of the National Audubon Society and James M. Perry. Representative Morris King Udall of Arizona climbed out of the Army helicopter, took a long look at the Nizina and Chitina canyons below him, gazed at the snow-capped peaks of 16,000- foot mountains above him, spread out his arms in ecstasy, and said: "I want it all!" The occasion was Udall's first extensive trip to Alaska, two weeks that represent what he says were the "most exciting" days of his life. The visit led, ultimately, to Udall's proudest achievement, passage of the Alaska lands bill that set aside 104.3 million acres with some of the most spectacular scenery in the world for the benefit of all of us, forever. He didn't get it "all," of course (though he did get what he saw from the plateau in the Wrangell Mountains that day). When the legislation was in place, containing weaker language passed by the Senate, he said he "shed a tear" for southeastern Alaska, because the bill allows timber interests to chop up 300-year-old trees and "send them to Japan to make plywood." But he figures he got 85 to 90 percent of what he was after, and he is enough of a philosopher to know that's better than what most people get out of life. "Mo" Udall, the chairman of the House Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, may not be the best friend the environmental movement has in high places, but it would be difficult to find anyone more important.

  • Emerging from the Shadows: Vice Presidential Influence in the Modern Era
    EMERGING FROM THE SHADOWS: VICE PRESIDENTIAL INFLUENCE IN THE MODERN ERA By RICHARD M. YON A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2017 © 2017 Richard M. Yon To Rachel, Reagan, Linda and Ricky ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people and organizations that made this dissertation possible. Without their support and guidance, none of this would have materialized. First, I would like to thank the Department of Political Science’s faculty for their mentorship and guidance over the course of my graduate education at the University of Florida. I would also like to thank Suzanne Lawless-Yanchisin for ensuring I met deadlines and successfully maneuvering me through administrative obstacles. A special thank you to my committee (Beth Rosenson, Larry Dodd, Sharon Austin, Robert Watson, and Elizabeth Dale) for standing by me through this long and arduous process. I’d specifically, like to single out my committee chair, Beth Rosenson, who helped me salvage a project when the prospect of finishing seemed elusive, was a voice of reason at a time when all seemed unreasonable, and restored my confidence in my work and helped me put together a plan to successfully achieve all I worked so hard for. I am forever grateful for the countless hours spent reviewing drafts and providing me with unvarnished critiques that only produced a better product. This project would not have been conceived without the journal article I co-authored with Robert Watson on vice presidential selection.
