Intimation of Oxford Professor's American Visit and Montana Protest
The piece quotes a letter by Goldwie Smith Professor of History at Oxford describing plans for a protracted visit to the United States and a major American history work. It notes possible residence in the U.S. this summer and discusses permissions, citizenship, and a broad view of the English political scene. It also covers a petition from Little Prickly Pear Valley residents requesting arms to defend lives and property, and Governor Green Clay Smith’s reply authorizing Col. Scribner to investigate and arm locals if needed. The column further traces U.S. bills on crime return policies, immigration trends from Ireland and Germany, and Montana’s interest in a Branch Mint amid regional mining output.
