Abstract:On February 19, 1923, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in United States v. Thind that Indians were not White and therefore not eligible for citizenship, a decision that stood for decades. Bhagat Singh Thind, an émigré from Punjab, India, then working in Linnton, Oregon was the man behind this precedent-setting case who built a life despite its far-reaching implications. Historian Ogden considers the arc of Thind’s life — mill worker, Ghadar activist, court litigant and Hollywood-based spiritual teacher — as a synthetic whole, with an emphasis on the global political realities, repression, and personal beliefs shaping his transformations. Thind’s multi-dimensional life provides a telling glimpse into an enduring American racial lineage.

Abstract:Sice its founding, the Oregon Historical Society (OHS) has served as the state’s collective memory, preserving evidence from the past and making it accessible through exhibitions, publications, and programs. To commemorate this anniversary year, OHS developed an exhibition, Our Unfinished Past: The Oregon Historical Society at 125, that explores significant moments in the organization’s history as well as ongoing work to further its mission. In this exhibit essay, Curator of Exhibitions Megan Lallier-Barron describes for readers how the exhibit explores the many people who have “shaped and re-shaped OHS,” and that work has “has woven a thoroughly complicated history of Oregon.”

Abstract:In this Research Files article, Karen Caverly-Molineaux uncovers the largely unknown history of Chinese people who immigrated and settled in Klamath Falls, Oregon. This study documents the presence of a Chinese community between 1880 and 1930, Klamath Falls’s formative years, and is heavily illustrated with images, newspaper headlines, and tables that add the names of dozens of Chinese people and businesses to the historical record. The evidence collected for this article provides opportunities for further research, and according to Caverly-Molineaux, “through the continued uncovering of missing historical narratives, perhaps a more accurate public memory of Klamath Falls’ early decades can be achieved.”

“may well have become president in 1974” (p. 156). With apologies to Gerald Ford, an upstanding citizen in his own right, if only we had been so lucky. Love him or dismiss him — and Etulain clearly loves him — this newest biography of Hatfield illustrates well the longtime Oregon politician’s most compelling quality: in the words of then-president William Clinton at Hatfield’s 1996 retirement, he was a man “who has lived his convictions as well as any I have known in public life” (p. 177). Hatfield was not perfect, and to his credit, Etulain is willing to share both Hatfield’s strengths and his weaknesses. In today’s era of strife, polarization, and growing threats from White Christian nationalism, however, Hatfield’s life in public service reminds us that our political and cultural landscape need not look this way. Etulain’s concise prose chronicles both prosaic struggles over state budgets during Hatfield’s time as governor and the many courageous stands the World War II veteran took, sometimes alone, against military expansionism and the war in Vietnam. As a Republican state legislator, secretary of state, and governor, Hatfield was often viewed as more liberal than his Democratic opponents — a helpful reminder that our partisan categories have not been static over time. He was an early and committed advocate for civil rights in a state with a notoriously racist history. As a five-term senator during the years when the Religious Right gained an everstronger foothold in GOP politics, Hatfield’s evangelical Christian convictions led him to support social programs and oppose increases in defense funding. This brief volume favors accessibility over documentation; there are no footnotes, although Etulain includes a brief essay on sources and his bibliography is comprehensive. The book would have benefitted from more careful fact-checking; while the prose is sound, the reviewer noted a series of minor errors ranging from confusing I-84 with I-80 to situating Hatfield’s 1964 GOP convention keynote speech in 1965. More glaring is a recurrent infatuation with spouse Antoinette Kuzmanich Hatfield’s “sparkling prettiness,” “bright eyes,” and vivaciousness (pp. 59, 91). Perhaps the author intended this as counterpoint to his frequent references to Hatfield’s youth and handsome visage. Both contribute to an overriding sensation that the book was written much earlier than 2021. Etulain focuses most of his time and attention on Hatfield’s years as a state official. He notes in the preface that while he initially planned a more comprehensive biography, continuing restrictions on the largest archive of Hatfield materials rendered a broader project infeasible. The recent opening of Hatfield’s primary manuscript collection at Willamette University, and newly accessible oral histories at the Oregon Historical Society, present important new opportunities to make deeper forays into Hatfield’s life and work.

“很可能在1974年成为总统”(第156页)。向杰拉尔德·福特道歉,他是一个正直的公民,如果我们能这么幸运就好了。爱他或解雇他——埃图兰显然爱他——这本关于哈特菲尔德的最新传记很好地展示了这位长期担任俄勒冈州政治家的最引人注目的品质:用时任总统威廉·克林顿在哈特菲尔德1996年退休时的话来说,他是一个“像我在公共生活中认识的任何人一样坚定自己的信念”的人(第177页)。哈特菲尔德并不完美,值得称赞的是,埃图兰愿意分享哈特菲尔德的长处和短处。然而,在当今冲突、两极分化和白人基督教民族主义威胁日益严重的时代,哈特菲尔德的公共服务生活提醒我们,我们的政治和文化景观不必如此。埃图兰简洁的散文记录了哈特菲尔德担任州长期间在国家预算问题上的平淡无奇的斗争,以及这位二战老兵(有时是独自一人)反对军事扩张主义和越南战争的许多勇敢立场。作为一名共和党州议员、国务卿和州长,哈特菲尔德经常被视为比他的民主党对手更自由——这有助于提醒我们,随着时间的推移,我们的党派类别并不是一成不变的。在一个有着臭名昭著的种族主义历史的州,他是民权的早期坚定倡导者。在宗教右翼在共和党政治中站稳脚跟的几年里,作为一名五届参议员,哈特菲尔德的福音派基督教信仰使他支持社会项目,反对增加国防资金。这个简短的卷支持可访问性而不是文档;没有脚注,尽管Etulain包括了一篇关于来源的短文,他的参考书目也很全面。如果能更仔细地核实事实,这本书会受益匪浅;虽然这篇文章很好,但评论家注意到了一系列小错误,从将I-84与I-80混淆,到将哈特菲尔德1964年在1965年的共和党大会主题演讲定位。更耀眼的是对配偶Antoinette Kuzmanich Hatfield的“闪闪发光的美丽”、“明亮的眼睛”和活泼的迷恋(第59、91页)。也许作者的本意是为了与他经常提到的哈特菲尔德的年轻和英俊的面孔形成对比。这两本书都引起了一种压倒一切的轰动,即这本书比2021年写得早得多。埃图兰将大部分时间和注意力集中在哈特菲尔德作为州官员的岁月上。他在序言中指出,虽然他最初计划写一本更全面的传记,但对哈特菲尔德最大档案馆的持续限制使一个更广泛的项目变得不可行。哈特菲尔德的主要手稿收藏最近在威拉米特大学开放,俄勒冈州历史学会新开放的口述历史,为深入了解哈特菲尔德生活和工作提供了重要的新机会。现在,我们比以往任何时候都更需要学习像马克·哈特菲尔德这样的政治家的智慧。Laura Jane Gifford俄勒冈州波特兰
