Henry McPherson land grant paperwork
No full textA variety of records regarding James and Henry McPherson's land grants within the Seneca reservation as provided in the treaties of St. Mary's and Lewistown. The documents include an affidavit from James McPherson in which he chooses a section of land as laid out the 1817 Treaty of St. Mary's. The second image is a plat of the area showing James and Henry McPherson's land claims. In regards to Henry McPherson's claim of a full section of 640 acres, the documents include a copy of deed from the Seneca Nation for a half-section of land, and a draft of a letter from Henry McPherson to General Joseph Vance in support of his claim to a full section. It appears that these white men were granted land within the area reserved to the Seneca by the Treaty of St. Mary's and the Treaty of Lewistown.

Henry Adams, Jr. letter to father, February 5, 1952
No full textThis letter was written by Henry Adams Jr. to his father, Henry Adams, expressing his feelings and experiences during his time in the army. Junior, as he was called in the family, had been posted to Alaska after his basic Army training, and assigned to an otherwise all-white company.
In this three-page letter written on decorative notepaper, Junior writes about his army experiences, and says that he feels like Jackie Robinson, a test case for integrated units in the military. The United States Army was not integrated during World War II; African Americans and whites served in separate units. Harry Truman issued an executive order intended to end segregation in the Army in January of 1948, and letters such as this indicate that the executive order took some time to become fully effective
Norma Coverdale, B.A.: the treatment of women in selected works of Henry de Montherlant
Full text linkThe aim of this thesis is to determine how women are treated in selectedworks of Henry de Montherlant. This is explored by examining their relationshipswith other women as well as with men. Inevitably, this leads to an analysis ofthe multifaceted area of love. Part I researches Montherlant's prose work and included in this section is the investigation of the importance of 'l'ordre male' to the author and the influence this exerts over his early prose work in the areas of tauromachy, war and sport, and where the male adherence to this concept leaves women. The 'syncretisme et alternance' which is central to Montherlant's thinking is explored in this section.Part 2 is concerned with Montherlant's theatre in which the psychological development of the main characters is of great importance. It is in this section that a comparative study is made of the influence of Mme. Elisabeth Zehrfuss' written contribution to La Reine morte. Her unpublished notes are set out in full in the Appendix. The thesis also draws on the unpublished correspondence between Henry de Montherlant and Elisabeth Zehrfuss between the years 1934 and 1945. An investigation is made as to whether or not there are any differences between the way women are treated in Montherlant's prose and in his theatre and the conclusion is drawn that there are

Zhu, Shanjiang, David Levinson, and Henry Liu (2012) Measuring Winners and Losers from the new I-35W Mississippi River Bridge. Transportation.
No full textThe opening of the replacement for the I-35W Mississippi River Bridge on September 18th, 2008 provides a unique opportunity to evaluate the impacts generated by this additional link on network performance. Using detailed GPS data to estimate travel times on links and for origin-destination pairs, this research finds that while on average travel time improved with the reopening of the bridge, the subsequent restoration of parts of the rest of the network to their pre-collapse configuration worsened travel times significantly on average. In all cases, the distribution of winners and losers indicates clear spatial patterns associated with these network changes.National Science Foundation,
