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.

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.

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.

Norma Coverdale, B.A.: the treatment of women in selected works of Henry de Montherlant
No full textThe 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.

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 Her unpublished notes are set out in full in the Appendix.

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
