William John Murphy, a native of New Hartford, New York who resided in the town of Flagstaff in what was then known as the territory of Arizona, was in charge of building a 40-mile long Arizona Canal from Granite Reef to New River for the Arizona Canal Company. He competed the canal, which would bring water to the desert land, in 1885.[2] Murphy was deep in debt, since he had agreed to be paid in Arizona Canal Company stock and bonds and land instead of cash.[3] In 1887, Murphy formed the Arizona Improvement Company.

  • Cuban Baseball Defection Experience and a Reevaluation of Baseball Diplomacy
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Santa Barbara Runners Left on Base: Cuban Baseball Defection Experience and a Reevaluation of Baseball Diplomacy A Thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in Latin American and Iberian Studies by Marcus F. Cuéllar Committee in charge: Professor John Foran, Chair Professor Sarah Cline Professor Cristina Venegas September 2014 The thesis of Marcus F. Cuéllar is approved. ____________________________________________ Sarah Cline ____________________________________________ Cristina Venegas ____________________________________________ John Foran, Committee Chair July 2014 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Although conducting and composing research is typically regarded as a solitary activity—and I certainly spent plenty of time cloistered in my writing cave—it would have been inconceivable for me to complete a project such as this without the guidance and encouragement of numerous individuals. I must first acknowledge the three individuals whose names appear on the preceding page, Professors John Foran, Sarah Cline, and Cristina Venegas, who graciously agreed to serve as my thesis committee members. Each of them juggles more projects and responsibilities than I can ever conceive of assuming, yet each generously granted me significant amounts of time to advise my research, as well as my professional future. I must extend extra thanks to Professor Foran who consented to chairmanship of my committee without hesitation and was always a reliable source of positivity. Professor David Lopez-Carr also deserves significant praise, as he was integral to the formation of this project and provided enthusiastic support as Chair of the Latin American & Iberian Studies Department. Likewise, I would like to appreciate my cohort brother, Angel Rodriguez, who was my biggest motivator and a fantastic drinking buddy.
