Snapshot of York Street, 1955
Full text linkThis paper briefly explores a small section of the Gettysburg Community in 1955, and focuses on the residential and business related life of York Street. With the life and work of Walter Lane, a local photographer, providing the lens to explore York Street, the community of 1955 York Street is uniquely highlighted through a hypothetical “week in the life” of the photographer. Walt Lane was the only professional photographer in Gettysburg at the time and therefore would have interacted with a multitude of business and residents through his work. His work included taking photos for the local high school, Gettysburg College, the Gettysburg Times, and more. Along with the many other exciting things happening during the summer of 1955 in Gettysburg, such as President Eisenhower visiting, this paper explores the role of both Walt Lane and York Street throughout this time
Different Perspectives in Early Twentieth-Century Utah: A Love Story Between Lewis Gillilan and Ellen Benson
Full text linkLewis Gillilan and Ellen Benson were young adults who lived in Utah during the first decade of the twentieth century. Between the years 1909 and 1910 they engaged in a long-distance courtship, which ended in an elopement. In that period, they wrote many letters to each other which were full of details about what shaped their relationship. Such details ranged from romantic expressions to disagreements about religious beliefs. Their letters also frequently included references to their work and education, which tell a story of a state going through both agricultural, industrial, and social development. This paper explores themes present in Lewis and Ellen’s letters that connected them to Utah’s development, examines how they communicated love and affection across distance, and gives the reader an insight into who they were. Lewis and Ellen’s story was unique and multifaceted and offers a look into many less frequently discussed aspects of Utah’s history

Introducing Casbah, Kronus and MmasiCarm: Members of the Mycobacteriophage Subcluster B3
No full textBackground: As part of a large science education effort, bacteriophages that lyse Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155 continue to be discovered. Materials and Methods: Phages were isolated from soil samples from urban sites in the Northeastern United States. Their genomes were sequenced, assembled, and bioinformatically compared. Results: Three lytic siphoviruses belonging to subcluster B3 with high similarity to each other and other B3 mycobacteriophages were isolated. These phages contain double-stranded DNA genomes (68,754 to 69,495 bp) with high GC content (67.4–67.5%) and 102–104 putative protein coding genes. Notable features include a HicA-like toxin and 33 genes exclusive to subcluster B3. One phage had an intein in its terminase sequence. Conclusions: Genomic analyses of these phages provide insights into genome evolution and horizontal gene transfer (HGT). The networks for HGT are apparently vast and gene specific. Interestingly, a number of genes are found in both B3 and Gordonia DR phages
