Campbell W. Pennington papers, 1872-

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/33036864

Reproductions and transcriptions from various archives and publications; writings by Pennington; microfilm; and personal diaries comprise two subgroups, one consisting of materials generated by Pennington and the other of the diaries of his great-uncle, Gordon Campbell White. Materials from the Pennington subgroup pertain to northern Mexico in the colonial period, focusing on its missions; its inhabitants, including the Tepehuan, Tarahumare, and Pima Indians, and their languages; and its topography. Reproductions and transcriptions consist largely of photocopies and typescripts in Spanish and English of the "Relaciones topográficas de pueblos de México," the originals of which are in the Biblioteca Nacional de Madrid and the Parral Archives; nine notebooks contain handwritten transcriptions from materials in the Parral Archives. Other reproductions and transcriptions are of various materials from the Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley (primarily the H.E. Bolton Collection), the Archivo General de la Nación (Mexico), and a few other repositories, as well as of published articles and extracts from monographs. Pennington's writings include the monograph, The Tepehuan of Chihuahua : their material culture, and the typescripts, "Bosquejo grammática y vocabulario de la lengua Ópata," "The kickball game among the Tarahumar of Mexico," and "A vocabulary made at Ónavas, Sonora, among the Pima Bajo." Seven reels of microfilmed research materials complete the subgroup. The diaries (1872-1923) of Gordon Campbell White relate to his personal life and career with the Southern Pacific Railroad in Texas, Arizona, and Mexico. They also provide a U.S. expatriate's view of events associated with the Mexican Revolution of 1910.

In 1534 Ignatius of Loyola, a Basque and former soldier, met in Paris with six companions to take a private vow of poverty and one to place themselves at the disposition of the pope. On September 27, 1540, Paul III issued the bull Regimini militantis ecclesiae, canonically establishing the Society of Jesus.

In 1901, the Union Pacific Railroad bought 38% of Southern Pacific stock and took control of the company, but the Union Pacific was ultimately forced to divest these shares in 1912 by the U.S. Supreme...
