I'm hoping to have a chance to review this over the weekend. Hog Farm _Talk 04:50, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

• " he left home in 1821 to work as a grocer in Clinton, Indiana" - What does Hofsommer say? Carmony & Gray suggets 1831 instead of 1821. Carmony & Gray has He was born in Vermont in 1811 ; after stays in New Hampshire and Ohio his family settled near Terre Haute, Indiana, in 1821. A decade later William made Clinton his home. This would by a decade after 1821 by my reading. And while the 1820s/1830s were a very different time, even for then 10 years old would be awfully young to move out on your own and become a grocer. The Canal Society source supports 1831 more directly
  • Facepalm on my part. Thank you for catching that lol. - G
• "where he partnered with William Kile to open a dry goods store named Kile and Dole" - I think you want Kelsey 1979 p. 90, not p. 89 as is in the citation currently
  • Fixed. - G
• This isn't necessary for GA, but if you're wanting to take this to FA, there's a chapter from Paternalism to Partnership by DeJong and recently published by the University of Nebraska available on the wikipedia library JSTOR - here. Most of the chapter is quotes from documents prepared by Dole, but there are a couple pages of content specifically focused on his time as commissioner
  • Ooh, thank you! - G
• Kelsey 1979 p. 96 discusses that Dole's tenure helped shift the federal government's policy from a treaty/land claim based focus to one aimed more towards welfare of the tribes, is this worth mentioning?

That's it for the first reading. Hog Farm _Talk 21:19, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
