ABSTRACT:This article is the first documentation of widespread, discontinuous relict polygonal ground (RPG) in north-central Nebraska and southern South Dakota. RPG formed under periglacial (persistently cold, but not glacial) conditions during the Late Pleistocene. It is now discernible chiefly in high-resolution digital aerial imagery taken within the past 15 years, although some fields of RPG were identified ex post facto during this study in wet-film aerial photographs taken in 1967 and viewed under magnification. Fields (as large as 65 ha) of both well-defined and indistinct RPG exist on comparatively stable, flattish upland surfaces in the middle Niobrara River and Keya Paha valleys in Boyd and Cherry Counties in Nebraska, and northwestward toward St. Francis, South Dakota. These surfaces are on exposed or very shallow bedrock, chiefly of the Ash Hollow Formation of the Ogallala Group (upper Miocene). The present-day visibility of RPG depends on seasonal and yearly environmental conditions and land use. Individual polygons are rectangles and slightly irregular pentagons, hexagons, and heptagons 4 to 50 m in maximum width. These characteristics are shared with extant periglacial polygonal ground. Our results verify that Late Pleistocene periglacial conditions existed in a zone extending some 150 km southwest of the Laurentide Ice Sheet.

ABSTRACT:I was selected to give the Warner Lecture for the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Nebraska Kearney (UNK) on August 30, 2018. The lecture series is named for the two dedicated Nebraska state senators, Charles Warner and Jerome Warner. Both embraced the ideas of bipartisanship and collective civic good for Nebraska residents. Beyond the connections to my research interests in environmental history, agricultural history, science and technology, and the Great Plains, my 2018 remarks offered historical examples in Nebraska agriculture to inspire audience members to think in interdisciplinary terms, across their specialties and professional training, to address important issues facing the state. "Field Notes" also offered historical perspectives around integrated learning models between the STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and math) and the humanities as two colleges at UNK, the Natural and Social Sciences and the Fine Arts and Humanities, merged into the College of Arts and Sciences in the 2018–19 school year.

Anyone who has traveled west on I90 through southcentral Montana has likely experienced this incongruous sight: rising from the High Plains, a Tim Burtonesque fortress of redbrick dilapidation looming over the suburbs and strip malls of modern Butte. Th ose who exit and wind up the hill toward the old Central Business District can also park, stride onto a viewing stand, and gawk at the massive Berkeley Pit, its dark, toxic waters shimmering under that big Montana sky. Many excellent historians have tackled aspects of Butte’s distinctive story, oft en focusing on its roughandtumble labor history and its vibrant ethnic cultures. In Th e City Th at Ate Itself, Brian James Leech has superbly synthesized this fascinating place’s varied historical strands, capturing the upsanddowns from its Civil War– era beginnings to the still uncertain postindustrial present and future. Earlier chapters build upon and augment studies by David M. Emmons, Michael P. Malone, Mary Murphy, and others, exploring the centrality of mining in the evolution of Butte’s workingclass culture and neighborhood development and the unsettling transition from underground to openpit mining. Th e second half of the book, which discusses the consuming of archetypal ethnic neighborhoods as the Pit expanded from the 1950s to the 1970s and the recent decades of coming to terms with the social and environmental costs following the Pit’s closure in 1983, adds much to the city’s story. Leech vividly describes post– World War II developments, such as the emerging environmental and historical preservation movements, Anaconda’s farfl ung fi nancial challenges and declining prestige among Butte residents, and the jarring impacts of mine closures, beginning with the remaining underground operations in the 1970s. Th e author also skillfully pulls in a multitude of ideas orbiting in the 1960s and 1970s regarding technocratic problemsolving in addressing the deterioration of Butte’s urban core. Leech concludes with an evocative summary of Butte residents’ recent eff orts to reclaim not only the landscape but also community, for instance with baby boomers’ revival of ethnic pride through heritage festivals and reunions for neighborhoods that literally no longer exist. Leech’s sourcing for this impressive study presents a potent model for similarly ambitious scholars. Particularly notable are the use of oral history interviews (including ones he conducted) and Anaconda Company records that include correspondence regarding neighborhood residents’ complaints about pit blasts and negotiations for property acquisitions to accommodate the Pit’s expansion. Th ere is considerably more going on in Th e City Th at Ate Itself than can be covered in a short review: open pit work’s eff ects on male workers’ sense of camaraderie, independence, and status; the impacts of noise, hazards, and displacement on social geography; excellent technical descriptions of evolving mining methods.

任何在I90向西穿过蒙大拿州中南部的人都可能经历过这种不协调的景象：从高平原升起，一座由红砖破败而成的蒂姆·伯顿式堡垒隐约出现在现代巴特的郊区和条形购物中心。那些离开并蜿蜒上山前往旧中央商务区的人也可以停车，大步走上观景台，凝视着巨大的伯克利矿坑，那里黑暗有毒的海水在蒙大拿州的天空下闪闪发光。许多优秀的历史学家研究了巴特独特故事的各个方面，经常关注其粗糙的劳动历史和充满活力的民族文化。布莱恩·詹姆斯·利奇（Brian James Leech）在《Ate Itself的城市》（Th e City Th at Ate Itelf）中出色地综合了这个迷人的地方的各种历史线索，捕捉了从内战时代开始到仍然不确定的后工业时代的现在和未来的起伏。前几章以David M.Emmons、Michael P.Malone、Mary Murphy等人的研究为基础，探讨了采矿在Butte工人阶级文化和社区发展演变中的中心地位，以及从地下采矿到露天采矿的令人不安的转变。这本书的后半部分讨论了从20世纪50年代到70年代，随着矿坑的扩张，以及1983年矿坑关闭后近几十年来对社会和环境成本的接受，对典型民族社区的消费，为这座城市的故事增添了很多内容。Leech生动地描述了二战后的发展，如新兴的环境和历史保护运动、Anaconda的财务挑战和Butte居民声望的下降，以及从20世纪70年代剩余的地下作业开始的矿山关闭带来的不和谐影响。作者还巧妙地引入了20世纪60年代和70年代围绕技术官僚解决问题的众多想法，以解决巴特城市核心的恶化问题。Leech最后总结了Butte居民最近不仅努力恢复景观，还努力恢复社区，例如婴儿潮一代通过遗产节和为实际上已经不复存在的社区团聚来复兴民族自豪感。Leech为这项令人印象深刻的研究提供的资源为同样雄心勃勃的学者提供了一个有力的模型。特别值得注意的是使用了口述历史访谈（包括他进行的访谈）和蟒蛇公司的记录，其中包括关于附近居民对矿坑爆炸的投诉的信件，以及为适应矿坑扩建而进行的财产收购谈判。这座城市在Ate Itself发生的事情比一篇简短的综述所能涵盖的要多得多：露天作业对男性工人的同志情谊、独立感和地位感的影响；噪音、危险和流离失所对社会地理的影响；对不断发展的采矿方法的出色技术描述。可以说，这本书对理解“西部农村中部的工业中心”的历史做出了重大贡献，并在更大的背景下，为调查大平原和山区其他工业城市的社会和环境历史提供了一个模板。
