Wyoming Pre-Statehood Legal Materials: An Annotated Bibliography - Part II
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Both Spain and France, during the peak of their presence in the New World, held that portion of the country that would become the Louisiana Purchase.Running up high debts to Spain in its struggle against the English in the Seven Year's War, France ceded the territory to Spain in 1762 in a secret treaty.Following this, Spain and France became engaged in the Napoleonic Wars at home.Spain accumulated war debts and, by 1800, ceded the Louisiana region back to France.6 Further impacting foreign claims in the New World, Mexico, an established Spanish colony, set up a provisional government in 1810.The revolt segmented into local fighting until Spain's revolution in 1820.This gave Mexico the opportunity to consolidate its forces and claim independence.In 1821, Mexico seceded from Spain, ending the holdings of Spain in the region and supplanting Spain's colonial laws in the region with those of the Republic of Mexico.Russian and English claims did not extend as far inland as Wyoming, but they certainly included lands along the coast of Oregon Country, and Oregon Country extended as far east as the summit of the Rocky Mountains, a portion of which lay within modern-day Wyoming.In fact, before Wyoming became a territory of its own, it was claimed not only by these foreign powers, it was also incorporated all or in part into the District of Louisiana, Louisiana Territory, Missouri Territory, Unorganized Country, Indian Country, Nebraska Territory, Dakota Territory, Idaho Territory, Oregon Country, Oregon Territory, Washington Territory, the Republic of Texas, and the State of Texas.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
