Thesis (Ph.D.)--Brandeis University, 1995.

This study poses a simple question: did it make any difference whether one lived on the U.S. or the Canadian side of the border during the agricultural settlement of the northern plains? Through close examination of documents bearing on the areas surrounding Maple Creek, Saskatchewan, and Chinook, Montana, between 1877 and 1920, these chapters trace the rapid parallel developments of a borderland, from the last of the white-Indian wars to the coming of the railroads to the intrusions of World War I, epidemic, and drought.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This study poses a simple question: did it make any difference whether one lived on the U.S. or the Canadian side of the border during the agricultural settlement of the northern plains? Through close examination of documents bearing on the areas surrounding Maple Creek, Saskatchewan, and Chinook, Montana, between 1877 and 1920, these chapters trace the rapid parallel developments of a borderland, from the last of the white-Indian wars to the coming of the railroads to the intrusions of World War I, epidemic, and drought.
520 $a Through this narrative of explosive change runs the theme of the "medicine line," the Indian name for the international boundary that ascribed to it magical, transforming power. As Mounted Policeman Francis Dickens discovered in an extraordinary meeting with Sitting Bull, the Medicine Line was the last hope of the refugee American Sioux to stem the white invasion that would divide the Sioux past from its future. The Sioux, of course, lost out to a tide of miners, ranchers, farmers, and real estate developers.
520 $a Nationalism, it turned out, was only one of many "medicine lines" by which the changing population of this region measured its identities. By the 1910s, according to a new diversity index devised for this study, it was nearly as diverse as New York City. Its population moved within a composite of forces: the extremes and allure of a natural environment that blunted the imperatives of a capitalist economy; the flood of European and other immigrants, and particularly Americans into southwest Saskatchewan, that altered earlier borderland distinctions of culture and identity; and racial, ethnic, and economic conflicts and alignments that came to replace the clearer folklore of Mounted Police justice and American outlawry.
520 $a In sum, in a multicultural and environmentally varied West, this ambiguous borderland reveals both the necessity and the limitations of the nation-state as an organizing principle for history.
