Download or read book Unpopular Sovereignty written by Brent M. Rogers and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2016-12 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newly created territories in antebellum America were designed to be extensions of national sovereignty and jurisdiction. Utah Territory, however, was a deeply contested space in which a cohesive settler group the Mormons sought to establish their own popular sovereignty, raising the question of who possessed and could exercise governing, legal, social, and even cultural power in a newly acquired territory. In "Unpopular Sovereignty," Brent M. Rogers invokes the case of popular sovereignty in Utah as an important contrast to the better-known slavery question in Kansas. Rogers examines the complex relationship between sovereignty and territory along three main lines of inquiry: the implementation of a republican form of government, the administration of Indian policy and Native American affairs, and gender and familial relations all of which played an important role in the national perception of the Mormons ability to self-govern. Utah s status as a federal territory drew it into larger conversations about popular sovereignty and the expansion of federal power in the West. Ultimately, Rogers argues, managing sovereignty in Utah proved to have explosive and far-reaching consequences for the nation as a whole as it teetered on the brink of disunion and civil war. "

Those published in this work are a portion of the collection which I have made. They were Obtained principally from the Wyandots, now either dead or living in the Indian Territory; for few Of them remain yet at the Old home at the confluence Of the Missouri and Kansas Rivers. I found them anxious to have these papers preserved; for this purpose they gave them to me. I have been given all the assistance that the Wyandots could render as well in this as in all matters pertaining to their history, manners, customs, and ancient religious beliefs. It was my good for tune to have the confidence of Matthias Splitlog, H. M. Northrup, Mrs. Lucy B. Armstrong, the Walkers, the Zanes, the Longs, and other prominent vvyandot families, for the whole time of my residence in the Wyandot Purchase at the mouth Of the Kansas River.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nebraska Territorial Pioneers' Association: Reminiscences and Proceedings I came to the territory of Nebraska with my parents in April, 1864, from the state of Kansas, where my father, Samuel W. McKesson, had been sent by the conference of the Evangelical church for the state of Iowa. My father was an itinerant preacher, and our moving anywhere was not specially for the purpose of settlement, but for the purpose of being as near and convenient to such religious charges and missionary work as might be laid out for him. During the two years previous to moving into the territory the field of his labor was largely marked out for him by a missionary department of the conference, and in this case was not confined to comity or statewide boundaries. And so, prior to our moving into the territory, father had made frequent circuits within its boundary. We moved to Arago, in Richardson county, on the banks of the Missouri river. It is not now an organized town, having been abandoned and its place taken by the town of Fargo. Altho the town was situated on the banks of the river, it had no ferryboat connection with the Missouri side of the river. The manufacturing industries were a brickyard, a shingle sawmill and a brewery. The town was quite prosperous and progressive. The bluffs had been dug down half for the cutting thru of streets, and the ravines were filled and leveled. Besides the manufactures and residences, many of them mute respectable wooden structures, the town supported a public school, an Evangelical church, a Catholic church and school, and several saloons. Not much of interest to me occurred during the first year of our residence at Arago. I remember seeing boats travel up and down the Missouri river and stop to load and unload their cargoes of merchandise and to let off and take on passengers. The names of some of these river boats were the "Denver," "St. Mary's," "St. Joseph," and "St. Louis." They were of various sizes, some side-wheelers, some stern-wheelers, some with single smokestacks and some with double smokestacks, bid all with fog horns whose noise was anything but musical. It was in this year also that I saw and tasted my first cherries. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
