Here is a brief explanation of what my dissertation is about. It covers six events of American violence throughout the Southwest during the frontier period. Those events are the San Luis Obispo vigilantes of 1858, Espinosas' Rampage of 1863, Mesilla Plaza Election Riot of 1871, events surrounding the Lincoln County War from 1863-1908, Battle of Ambos Nogales of 1918, and the Paiute "Renegades" of southern Nevada from 1890-1919. Yeah, you can now call me "Dr. Cypher" if you want ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------ See pinned comment and its replies for notes, responses, and errata For a bibliography and everything, see my dissertation: Joseph Hall-Patton, "Great Excitement: Violent Incorporations of the American Southwest," dissertation, University of New Mexico, 2023. https://digitalrepository.unm.edu/his... ------------------------------------------------------------ Connected videos: California history series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...
