Samuel Pasco (1834-1917)

The accompanying history of Jefferson County, Florida, was prepared by Senator Pasco at the time of the dedication of the court house at Monticello in 1910, and was in part used by him in an address on that occasion. As first written the history of this region was traced from the earliest times to 1910; but because much relating to the period prior to the establishment of the county in 1827 has appeared in other articles in the QUARTERLY the narrative will begin with that year. The entire manuscript has been given to and may be seen in the collections of the Society. Samuel Pasco, of Pensacola, has been asked to bring together here an outline of the most important events and services of his father’s life. It is hoped that an adequate biography of one whose services to Florida were so extensive will appear in a future issue.--Ed

Distribution, Abundance, and Some Habits of Larvae of Cicindela Hirticollis (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae) on a Lake Michigan Beach

In August 1965, numerous burrows of tiger beetle larvae were found on a short expanse of beach along the shore of Lake Michigan in Emmet Co., Mich. Several adults associated with the larvae were captured and identified as Cicindela hirticollis Say. Blanchard (1921) collected C. hirticollis a few miles south of this area in 1917, and reported he had not found it in the interior of either Emmet or Cheboygan counties. In an extensive survey of Michigan Cicindelidae, Graves (1963) found C. hirticollis to be restricted to the sandy shores of three of the Great Lakes. Apparently this insect is widespread in North America, since several investigators have reported it from beaches along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts (Davis, 1903; Dunn, 1891; Fox, 1910; Gould, 1834). Because of the high population of larvae on the Lake Michigan beach in 1965, the area was reexamined August 12, 1966 to measure the distribution and abundance of the larvae

Whatever Happened To The Seveloff Fix?

This Article suggests that the Supreme Court has not deprived Alaska Native Villages of a valid basis for claiming the authority to create and enforce their own tribal alcohol regulations. Every federally recognized Alaskan Native Village is situated in an area over which Congress extended the federal Indian liquor laws in 1873, in an enactment Congress has never repealed; this should logically empower Alaska Native Villages to exercise the same federally-delegated authority within their federal Indian liquor law Indian country as lower-48 tribes have within their reservations or “dependent Indian communities.” Since this delegated authority is shared with the states, this postulate does not deprive the State of Alaska of any authority to enforce its own liquor laws; liquor transactions must conform to both state law and applicable tribal law

The Radical Attorney of the Russian Empire – Alexander Lindfors (1837–1890)

The article is intended to highlight the advocacy of the well-known attorney and zemstvo leader in the Russian Empire, Alexander Lindfors (1837–1890). His name is often found on the pages of scientific publications devoted to the history of the constitutional movement in Russia among liberals of the 19th century. However, the scientific community does not have a wide knowledge of the facts of his biography due to the very limited interest in Lindfors. Only Rakhno’s biography was studied by Lindfors already in the 21st century, which undoubtedly affects the amount of information about the subject of our study. Alexander Lindfors, first of all, began to engage in social activities in connection with active advocacy. But too little is known about the latter because no research has been conducted in this direction before. This study is an attempt to put together facts about Lindfors as a lawyer using the method of narrative analysis and a critical assessment of the sources used. Using these methods, the author was able to find evidence of Lindfors's participation in the most high-profile court cases against the members of the 19th-century revolutionary political organization in the Russian Empire with a name “Narodnaya Volya”. Lindfors was one of a limited number of 20 attorneys known to us for appearing in the 1860-1890s during the biggest litigations against Russian revolutionaries. The most famous litigation involving A. Lindfors is the so-called "Kyiv process against the 12 “Narodnaya Volya” members". An analysis of the memories of people close to Lindfors made it possible to characterize his legal activity and confirm his direct involvement in the establishment of the Kyiv Law Society
