Oregon State University Press Corvallis. Softcover. Brand new book. Every state in the nation has geographic divisions�upstate/downstate urban/rural major city/rest of the state�that loom large as barriers to common cause. Toward One Oregon examines the prospects for uniting one geographically diverse state in the years ahead. When Oregon became a state in 1859 its role in the nation and the global economy was quite different than it is today. Boundaries that made sense in the nineteenth century don't always serve twenty-first century needs productively. Current times demand a new strategic understanding of the state and its role in the nation and the world if its people�all of its people�are to thrive. Oregon like many states is faced with recovering and rediscovering a sense of shared purpose as it attempts to meet the needs of its diverse communities peoples and landscapes. Toward One Oregon explores Oregon's urban and rural history and assesses the current situation through political economic and demographic lenses. The book's contributors include historians urban planners journalists economists sociologists and political scientists. They explore the links and splits between urban and rural Oregon and together offer a collaborative path forward�for Oregon and for any state faced with similar seemingly insurmountable geographic divisions�using the best of urban and rural policies in strategic and complementary ways.

University of Oklahoma Press Norman: 2012. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Indian journalism began at New Echota Georgia with the publication of the first issue of the Cherokee Phoenix on February 21 1828. Amid the dynamic backdrop of increasing U.S. efforts to force American Indian tribes west the Phoenix became the voice of the Cherokee people. Its editor Elias Boudinot insisted that the paper meet the highest standards and saw its purpose as a defender of Indian rights. To allow for the broadest possible readership the Cherokee Phoenix was printed in both Cherokee and English. Facing the challenges of running a frontier newspaper Boudinot consistently produced a quality publication. In Cherokee Newspapers 1828-1906 Cullen Joe Holland skillfully covers the growth of the Phoenix explains how the Cherokee font was acquired and discusses problems the paper faced internally until its confiscation by the Georgia militia in 1834. He then picks up the story ten years later after the Cherokees have lost their battle to remain in the east and have endured the forced migration to the newly established Cherokee Nation in the west. There on September 26 1844 the newspaper was reborn as the Cherokee Advocate. Like the Phoenix it was again a voice for the Cherokee people. The Advocate was printed from 1844 to 1853 and from 1870 until it closed in 1906. This remarkable history of Indian journalism includes photographs of many of the editors and printers of the Cherokee Phoenix and the Cherokee Advocate. Together these two groundbreaking newspapers covered most of the issues the Cherokees faced during the nineteenth century�including removal Reconstruction allotment and Oklahoma statehood.

University of Oklahoma Press Norman: 2012. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. The life of Edward Hunter Snow 1865-1932 a leader in second-generation Mormon Utah closely paralleled the early-twentieth-century development of the West. Born in St. George Utah to Julia Spencer and Mormon apostle Erastus Snow Edward Hunter Snow was instrumental both in the development of southern Utah and in the growth of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints during a period of rapid change. In Edward Hunter Snow the first biography of the man noted western and Mormon historian Thomas G. Alexander presents Snow as a servant of family church state and nation. Offering insights into the LDS Church around the turn of the twentieth century Alexander narrates the events of Snow's missions to the American South including encounters with the Ku Klux Klan in the 1880s and to New York. As president of the St. George Stake and church leader Snow sought to reshape the LDS Church's place in Utah�confining its influence to religious and cultural practices and avoiding politics. Although he was involved in numerous causes throughout his life Snow was especially dedicated to education. A graduate of what is now Brigham Young University he worked to ensure that the state's children would have access to quality education. Snow founded what is now Dixie State College and as a state senator introduced legislation to establish what is now Southern Utah University. As the nineteenth century gave way to the twentieth Snow helped St. George grow from an isolated cotton colony to an important stop on the main automobile route from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles. Alexander shows that rugged southwestern Utah's flowering into cultural and commercial maturity was due to the foresight and dedication of second-generation pioneers like Edward Hunter Snow.
