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.","PeriodicalId":35980,"journal":{"name":"Great Plains Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/gpr.2019.0035","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47544912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.","PeriodicalId":35980,"journal":{"name":"Great Plains Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/gpr.2019.0022","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45615629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hurlbert","doi":"10.1353/gpr.2019.0032","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/gpr.2019.0032","url":null,"abstract":"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.

Lying above vast halite deposits laid down by an ancient Permian sea, the century-long association with this important economic mineral has earned Hutchinson the nickname \"Salt City.\" Located more than 200 m (650 ft) below Hutchison is Strataca: Kansas Underground Salt Museum, the only underground salt mine available for tourists to visit in the country. Strataca receives approximately 50,000 annual visitors, making it a significant regional tourist attraction. Operated in cooperation between the local historical society and an active salt mining company working in nearby shafts, Strataca offers a distinctive geotourism and industrial heritage tourism experience in the Great Plains. By considering the interpretive material at Strataca and the representation of the museum in user-generated content (UGC) reviews on a prominent travel website, TripAdvisor, this study demonstrates the value of a mixed-methods approach. Interpretive material included in signs, videos, and narrated tours and the UGC are analyzed for recurring themes and notable absences. The discussed themes include geology, mining methods, and working in the mine.","PeriodicalId":35980,"journal":{"name":"Great Plains Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/gpr.2019.0018","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46198555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
