Interview with Jon Lauck

Seasonal activity patterns of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) were studied intensively along a 15-mile stretch of the Big Sioux River and less intensively on an expanse of 1,100 square miles in central eastern South Dakota from February, 1964, to March, 1966. Thirty-three deer were marked individually with ear tags, streamers, and collars, and 461 locations were recorded. Five of these deer were tracked by radio-telemetry. For adult and yearling deer, average total area ranges in square miles were: summer, 1.0 + 0.5; fall, 0.7 ? 0.3; winter, 2.7 ? 1.7. For the same deer, maximum linear ranges in miles were: summer, 1.7 ? 0.5; fall, 1.8 ? 0.4; winter, 2.5 ? 0.9. No significant differences (P> 0.05) were found for total area or maximum linear ranges between seasons, or among adults, yearlings, and fawns in winter. Total linear ranges for deer observed in more than one season averaged 12.0 + 2.2 miles for males, and 11.1 ? 2.1 miles for females. These ranges were not significantly different (P > 0.05). In early January, discrete herds of up to 80 animals began to form. Some herds wintered in fairly well-defined areas, but up to 30 percent of the deer population remained widely scattered all winter and deer moved up to 12 miles between herds. Instability of winter herds ruled out the use of winter herd counts as an accurate population index. When the thaw occurred in March or April, deer dispersed in several directions at varying rates with a predominance of northward movements along the Big Sioux River and its tributaries. Average distance between winter and summer ranges for six deer was 14.4 + 1.5 miles. The deer population was partially migratory in that it used all of the study area in summer but withdrew to a small part of it in winter. The home-range pattern of deer included one or more sub-areas which provided all habitat needs. When these requirements were disturbed, depleted, or changed, deer moved to a new sub-area. Data from this study indicated that deer management units, if they could be administered effectively, might better be based on natural drainages than on counties. The history of white-tailed deer populations in eastern South Dakota parallels that of deer in much of the Great Plains region (Cook 1945). Before 1900, destruction of habitat and unregulated hunting reduced deer numbers to near extinction. About 1925, aided by protection from hunting, remnant populations of deer began to grow and reappear in parts of their old range. In 1947, four counties east of the Missouri 1A joint contribution from the South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks, South Dakota State University, U. S.

A growing population of both deer and hunters has created a need for more intensive management of the deer herd. This study was conducted from February, 1964, through March, 1966, to provide basic information for deer management in eastern South Dakota. The objectives were to: (1) determine the distribution of deer and the extent of their daily and seasonal movements on key areas in various habitat types of eastern South Dakota; (2) identify the principal factors influencing deer distribution and movements; (3) determine the feasibility of using a census of winter deer herds as a population index.

We hope that those of you interested in the history of Pennsylvania— of “Penn’s woods”—embrace the field of environmental history. This approach to the past examines the relationships human beings have had with the natural world: how and why humans have changed the environment, and how that changed environment has, in turn, reshaped human society. The basis for those relationships can range from the animate (such as elk) to the inanimate (oil), and even to the intangible (the pastoral ideal). As a scholarly approach to the past, environmental history emerged in the 1970s as a growing awareness of global environmental issues and an explosion of popular environmentalist movements swept through society. Perhaps this brief definition is old news to you, because by now environmental history has matured as a scholarly field.

Background/Context Educators, parents, politicians, and the media often complain that young people know little history and compare them unfavorably to better-educated, earlier generations. However, the charge is exaggerated. Young people have performed poorly on history tests for decades. Students’ poor scores on one test in particular, the focus of this study, caught the nation's attention: the New York Times 1943 survey of college freshmen's history knowledge. Focus of Study This study examines the debate between supporters of history education and supporters of social studies education about the New York Times 1943 survey of college freshmen's history knowledge. In a report on the survey results, the newspaper claimed that these students knew little of their country's history, and not much more about its geography. The study places the survey in the broader context of history and social studies education in the early to mid-twentieth century. The study traces the origins of the survey and the debate between two key players, Allan Nevins and Erling Hunt, and describes reactions to the survey from educators, politicians, the media, and the public. In addition, the study describes how the American Historical Association, the Mississippi Valley Historical Association, and the National Council for the Social Studies counteracted the survey's findings to defend the teaching of history and social studies in the U.S. Research Design This study is a historical examination of the survey and the controversy it generated. The study uses archival resources, primary documents, contemporary newspaper and journal articles, and key players’ private letters, to explain how the survey was developed, reported on, and responded to. Conclusions Although the survey was not the first of its kind, and certainly not the last, and did not result in major changes in history and social studies instruction, it gave defenders of history education and social studies education a national battleground for their war of words. In examining the increased interest in the pedagogical debate on fact-based learning versus historical thinking skills that the survey provoked, this study brings perspective to a long-standing controversy, highlights the tension between advocates of history education and advocates of social studies education, and shows how the public reacted with deep alarm to the survey's results. This study highlights the divisive effects of using a single test to draw conclusions about the state of education. In the conclusion, the study calls for a negotiation by all sides in what are known today as “the history wars.”

by CARLTON C. QUALEY i Theodore C. Biegen To torical the good Association, fortune of Theodore the Norwegian- C. Biegen American served His- as torical Association, Theodore C. Biegen served as managing editor for its publications until his resignation in 1960. During the thirty-five years that he held this post, fortyone volumes were issued. The credit roster of the association lists many names, but Dean Blegen's will, by common consent , head it, for he set the standards of selection and of editorial work. That these publications rank high in the field of immigration history is a matter of general agreement among scholars. In the writings put out by some immigrantAmerican historical societies, the variance in quality is apparent . Much of their product is colored by attempts to demonstrate the pre-eminence of special national stocks in American history. Anyone who is aware of the pressure groups that exist within the Norwegian element in America will recognize the significance of Dean Blegen's achievement. His independence from control by sectarian and filio-pietistic elements among the Norwegian Americans, his diplomatic ability , which carried the day in many a difference of opinion, and his devotion to high standards of historical scholarship enabled him to create for the Norwegian-American Historical Association a remarkable reputation as a learned society. To those who discount background as an important factor 3 Carlton C. Qualey in conditioning character, I would direct attention to the Biegen family of Augsburg College, Minneapolis, and of Saga Hill, Lake Minnetonka. The affection and intellectual discipline that characterized the home of a classical scholar were supplemented during vacations in that remarkable extension of the Augsburg faculty community at Lake Minnetonka, called Saga Hill. Theodore Biegen has himself described this summer colony in a charming article in Minnesota History.1 The intellectual competition afforded by a father who was a professor, by a mother who had been a successful businesswoman before her marriage in a day when such a career was unusual, by two sisters and three brothers (one of whom is an eminent classical archaeologist), and by faculty neighbors and their children must have contributed to "bending the twig" toward a scholarly career. To this gifted family environment was added a rugged physical inheritance. Dean Biegen 's undergraduate studies at Augsburg College and at the University of Minnesota were followed by graduate work at Minnesota that led to a doctorate in history. He did high-school teaching at Fergus Falls, Minnesota, and at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, then served an apprenticeship under Solon J. Buck at the Minnesota Historical Society in the arts of editing and meticulous research. He succeeded to the position of superintendent of the historical society and taught at Hamline and Minnesota universities, eventually becoming a full professor at the latter. A Guggenheim fellowship year in Norway, 1928-29, proved stimulating and productive. Dean Blegen's career reached one of its peaks in his election to the presidency of the Mississippi Valley Historical Association in 1943. From 1940 to 1960 he served as dean of the graduate school in the University of Minnesota. 1 Parts of the first paragraphs of this essay are adapted from my article on Biegen in Norwegian- American Historical Association, News Letter , no. 9, p. 3 (May, 1960). Blegen's study, "The Saga of Saga Hill," in Minnesota History , 29:289-299 (December, 1948), was subsequently expanded to a mimeographed volume, Minnetonka Family: The Saga of Saga Hill (Minneapolis, 1952). 4 THEODORE C. BLEGEN Clara Woodward Biegen, a woman in her own way as able as her husband, has accompanied him in all his efforts during his adult years, bearing two handsome children, Theodore and Margaret. Those who know the Biegens realize full well how significant she has been in her husband's career. It has been a fortunate partnership. Although Theodore Biegens deanship increasingly took up his time after 1940, he continued as an active and productive historian, notably in his direction of the publication program of the Norwegian-American Historical Association, in important service on the executive council of the Minnesota Historical Society, in consultative functions for other state historical organizations, and, during World War II, in editing the GI Roundtable Pamphlets...

Heads of hunter-harvested deer (Odocoileus sp.) and elk (Cervus elaphus) were collected from meat processing plants throughout South Dakota (USA) from 1997 through 1999 to determine distribution of meningeal worm (Parelaphostrongylus tenuis) in eastern and western South Dakota. A total of 2,848 white-tailed deer (WTD) were examined for P. tenuis, of which 578 (20.3%) were infected with the parasite. Of 578 deer infected, 570 (98.6%) were harvested east of the Missouri River. Our results indicate that P. tenuis is widely distributed throughout eastern South Dakota and limited to the southcentral region of western South Dakota. Infected WTD were documented in 37 of 44 counties in eastern South Dakota and three of 22 counties in western South Dakota. No meningeal worms were found on the meninges or cranial surfaces of 215 mule deer ( Odocoileus hemionus) or 344 elk examined. These findings further define the distribution of the parasite throughout the state. We suggest that the Missouri River acts, in part, as a physical barrier to the westward expansion of P. tenuis to the grasslands of western South Dakota.

In 1968 and 1969, single capsules containing lactose or lactose and dieldrin were given weekly to pheasants (Phasianus colchicus); hens received 0, 6, or 10 mg and cocks received 0, 4, or 6 mg. Offspring of these birds were bred in 1969 and 1970, and offspring of second generation birds were bred in 1970 and 1971. Direct mortality occurred in breeders at all levels of dieldrin administered, but weights of breeders were not affected by dieldrin. Egg production, fertility, hatchability, viability of chicks at hatching, and weights of chicks from 4 to 6 weeks of age exhibited no relationship to treatment, and were erratic among groups and years. Survival of chicks to 4, 5, or 6 weeks of age was affected (P 0.05). Offspring of parents given dieldrin chose the deep side of a visual cliff more often than control chicks (P < 0.05), as did their progeny in the second and third generations. Offspring of parents given dieldrin were more easily caught by hand (P < 0.01); this effect was also found in the second and third generation. Behavior, both on the visual cliff and in response to hand catching, was generally most affected where both parents or ancestors had been given dieldrin, and less, but still affected, where either parent or ancestor had been given dieldrin. A genetic mechanism may have been involved in effecting aberrant behavior patterns. J. WILDL. MANAGE. 38(2):320-330 Previous research on effects of dieldrin in hen pheasants was reported by Lamb et al. (1967) and Atkins and Linder (1967). Limited work on firstand second-generation hens was reported by Baxter et al. (1969). In order to elucidate possible effects of dieldrin on second and third generations, to continue work through the third generation, and to determine the role of the cock in reproductive and behavioral effects, we initiated the treatment of both cocks and hens with measured doses of dieldrin in 1968. Behavioral effects in first-generation birds have been reported (Dahlgren et al. 1970). This paper reports effects of dieldrin on reproduction, behavior, and survival through the third generation.

MATERIALS AND METHODS Breeding stock was purchased from the Ringneck Ranch, Frederick, South Dakota, in the fall of 1967; other stock was purchased from the South Dakota Pheasant Co., Canton, for research in 1969. Breeding hens about 1 year of age were kept in individual cages and pool-mated to cocks kept in larger breeding cages (Atkins and Linder 1967). Birds were placed on 16 hours of artificial light in late January. Treatment was begun in February and eggs were collected beginning in early March. Technical-grade dieldrin, supplied by Shell Chemical Co., was ground, mixed with lactose, and administered in No. 5 gelatin 1 Funds for this study were supplied to the South Dakota Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit by the U.S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife.

Pure lactose was given to control birds. For 17 weeks, in 1968, 0, 4, or 6 mg dieldrin was administered in single weekly doses to cocks and 0, 6, or 10 mg was given to hens. Progeny of these cocks and hens were designated as 0-0, 0-6, 0-10, 4-0, 4-6, 4-10, 6-0, 6-6, and 6-10. (The first number is the weekly dieldrin level given to the cock, and the second is that given to the hen.) In 1969, newly purchased breeding stock was treated in a similar fashion, but for only 16 weeks. Also, in 1969, progeny of birds treated the previous year were either bred without further treatment or were given 6 mg dieldrin once a week for 16 weeks so that progeny were produced as follows: 0-0/0-0, 0-0/6-0, 0-0/6-6, 0-0/10-0, 6-0/0-0, 6-0/6-0, 6-0/6-6, 6-6/0-0, 6-6/6-0, and 6-6/ 6-6. (The first number to the left of the slash indicates the level given to both parents of the cocks in the previous year, and the second number the level of dieldrin currently given the cock, while the first number to the right of the slash indicates the level given to both parents of the hen the year previous except that hens in the 0-0/ 10-0 group were offspring of cocks given 6 mg and hens given 10 mg and the last number the level given to the hen the second or current year.) Second-generation work was similar in 1970 except that progeny of parents given 10 mg dieldrin did not survive to breeding age. For third-generation work in 1970, only controls and offspring of ancestors given 6 mg dieldrin were available as breeders. Part of the birds that had both parents given 6 mg dieldrin for 2 years previous were again given 6 mg dieldrin for 16 weeks so offspring produced were designated 0-0-0/0-0-0, 6-6-0/6-6-0, and 6-6-6/ 6-6-6. In 1971 no dieldrin was administered and offspring in the third generation were designated 0-0-0/0-0-0, 0-0-0/6-6-0, 6-6-0/ 0-0-0, and 6-6-0/6-6-0. Adult cocks and hens were weighed weekly to the nearest gram at the time capsules were administered. Cock breeding groups ranged from 2 to 5 individuals, so that each cock would not have to service more than 4 hens per season. Hen groups were from 4 to 10 for any category of treat-

THE NORWEGIAN-AMERICAN HISTORICAL MUSEUM By Knut Gjerset Decorah, Iowa, was the first great center of Norwegian pioneer settlement west of the Mississippl. It is noted for its scenic beauty and is surrounded by the large and prosperous Norwegian settlements of southern Minnesota, western Wisconsin, and northern Iowa, in one of the most productive agricultural regions in the United States. Two railroads, the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul, and the Rock Island enter Decorah, and the city is traversed by several fine highways. One of these is federal highway number 55, the shortest route and the one richest in scenery of those between Chicago and the Twin Cities, a road that is becoming a leading bus route and that will soon be paved throughout its entire length. Luther College, the oldest Norwegian college in America, was built in Decorah in the years of the Civil War. It is a college of high scholastic standing. It has fine buildings, and endowments have been large. It has a library of fifty thousand volumes housed in a new and adequate building. This library possesses the largest collection of NorwegianAmerican newspapers in the country, a most important source of information regarding this group. It also contains an archive department embracing, among other valuable records, about eleven thousand classified letters and documents that have been collected in the Norwegian settlements . About forty years ago, several teachers at Luther College who felt that the memory of their pioneer fathers and mothers should not be forgotten began collecting pioneer objects that had been preserved in the homes of early settlers. Hal153 154 STUDIES AND RECORDS dor Hanson, professor of music, became interested and spent much energy and a large part of his personal income in this work. Very little planning was at first noticeable in these efforts, and slight support was received from the college administration, but the collections continued to grow and thus a small museum was gradually created that was known as the Luther College Museum. In 1922 the present director was placed in charge of these collections. He found that the field offered an inviting opportunity for creating collections that would prove a valuable supplement to the historical material about Norwegian settlers in America to be found in the libraries of Luther College and of St. Olaf College, in the archives of state historical societies in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and in other repositories. He felt that archival material should be collected as extensively as possible and that a NorwegianAmerican historical museum should be created which would help one to visualize the living conditions and activities of the Norwegians who have come to dwell in America. In the summer of 1925, after the Norse-American Centennial celebration in St. Paul and Minneapolis, where the director had been in charge of a Norwegian-American cultural exhibition, he took definite steps to effect the realization of the museum idea. As an organization would be needed for the promotion of the plan, and as the establishing of a Norwegian-American historical association had for some time been discussed in the press, he advocated the merging of the two projects and the organization of an historical association which would help to maintain and develop a Norwegian-American historical museum. He asked a small group of men who were interested to meet in Decorah, and presented to them a preliminary program for such an association . With their advice and assistance he spent a part of the summer traveling about, acquainting leading men with the proposed program, and securing their opinions of the The Outdoor Museum THE NORWEGIAN-AMERICAN MUSEUM 1 55 plan. All expressed their interest and their willingness to cooperate, and in the fall of that year a meeting was called at St. Olaf College at Northfield, Minnesota, where the Norwegian- American Historical Association was organized, with a program essentially the same as the one presented at the preliminary meeting in Decorah, Iowa. When the association was incorporated, its "general plan of operation," under the terms of its charter, was "to obtain by gift and from membership contributions the funds required for" certain stated purposes, including that of " helping to maintain and develop the Norwegian- American Museum at Decorah...

We captured giant Canada geese (Branta canadensis maxima) in 7 counties in eastern South Dakota during the summer molting period, 2000–2003. We attached very high frequency (VHF) transmitters to 150 adult female geese with brood patches, and leg bands to 3,839 geese. We documented molt migrations using VHF telemetry and indirect band recovery at locations north of South Dakota. Telemetry of radio-collared female geese during the breeding season indicated that 56% of nonbreeders, 81% of unsuccessful breeders, and 19% of successful female breeders embarked on a molt migration. Five of 34 geese that underwent molt migrations moved to northeast South Dakota, and the other twenty-nine migrated north of South Dakota. Eighty-six of 647 indirect band recoveries were from north of South Dakota (46o N latitude), suggesting that the geese were molting north of South Dakota. The percentage of indirect recoveries (13%) that occurred north of 46° N latitude was significantly greater (χ1 = 160.6, P < 0.001) than northern indirect recoveries (3.5%) reported by Gleason (1997) for giant Canada geese banded in eastern South Dakota from 1955 to 1995. We believe it is likely that 50 to 60% of eastern South Dakota’s population of giant Canada geese undergo molt migrations. These movements affect management strategies in nesting areas, as well as in molting areas. Any management technique, such as egg addling in nesting areas, may reduce local crop damage but increase problems in areas where geese molt. Harvest strategies for molt migrants should involve coordination with state and provincial agencies. Further studies incorporating satellite telemetry are needed to document specifically the molting locations of South Dakota geese.
