A. T. Smith Diary transcript 1848
No full textA transcription of a 1848 diary in which Alvin Thompson Smith writes about topics such as his daily life on the increasingly populated Tualatin Plains; "an expedition against the Cayuse Indians for murdering Doc Whitman" (referring to the infamous Whitman Massacre of 1847); his farm chores and woodwork projects (including bringing logs for what would become Tualatin Academy); his religious life; his business ventures; his trips to East Plains, Tualatin Lodge, the "Falls," Vancouver, Willamette Falls, Yamhill, "Logies," and Portland; his interactions with W. M. Stokes, a Mr. Newbanks, Thomas Naylor, Eliza and Henry Spalding, Harvey Clark (or Clarke), William Geiger, Joseph Gale, Eli Harper, John Terwilliger, a Mr. Patton, a Mr. Dixon, a Mr. Snowden, Benjamin Catchings, Calvin B. Green, Joseph Gale, a Mr. Wilks, Charles Conklin, and Alvin C. Brown.Born in Connecticut in 1802, Alvin Thompson Smith, along with his wife Abigail Raymond, was amongst the first Euro-Americans to settle in the area on the Tualatin Plains that became Forest Grove, Oregon in the early 1840s. In his life, Smith was a missionary, a postmaster, a notable participant in the Champoeg Meetings, the builder of a 1856 house in Forest Grove that is today recognized by the National Register of Historic Places as the Alvin T. Smith House, and a contributor to an orphanage that became Tualatin Academy and later developed into Pacific University. Smith died in 1888 at the age of 85. This is one part of a collection of transcriptions of Alvin T. Smith's diaries from the years 1840-1853. The transcriptions, which are likely not identical to the diaries themselves and perhaps summarize some entries, were likely typewritten in the 1970s. The diaries are notable for their near daily entries. This year's diary was transcribed by M.S. Gilbert. The original diaries are held by the Oregon Historical Society (Mss 8)

The Dope: The Real History of the Mexican Drug Trade
No full textThe Mexican drug trade has inspired myths of a war between north and south, white and brown, between noble cops and vicious kingpins, corrupt politicians and powerful cartels. In this talk, Benjamin T. Smith draws on unprecedented archival research, leaked DEA, Mexican law enforcement, and cartel documents, and dozens of interviews, to tell the real story of how and why this once-peaceful industry turned violent, interrogate the U.S.-backed policies that inflamed the carnage, and explore corruption on both sides of the border. Benjamin T. Smith is Professor of Latin American History at Warwick University in the United Kingdom. He has been writing about the history of Mexico for twenty years. He now specializes on twentieth-century politics, the narcotics trade and crime, but has also researched and written about indigenous politics, Catholicism, conservatism, newspapers, journalism, and censorship. He occasionally appears on TV or radio to talk about these subjects.https://digitalrepository.unm.edu/laii_events/1094/thumbnail.jp
