  • FOOD, CLOTHING, SHELTER Food
    COLORADO INDIANS – FOOD, CLOTHING, SHELTER Food What do these photos tell you about the food that these people ate? American Bison (Buffalo) This is a bison or American buffalo. Millions of bison once lived on the Great Plains of North America. In the 1800s, they were the largest animal native to North America. An average buffalo cow provided about 400 pounds of meat. That was enough meat to feed one person for at least 200 days. Buffalo Photo: Colorado Historical Society More About This Topic The bison lived on the blue grama and buffalo grass that grew on the plains. During the summer, when there was a lot of grass, the buffalo grazed in large herds. Some herds had several thousand animals. That was the best hunting season for the Plains Indians. The bison broke up into smaller herds during the winter, when there was less grass to eat. Their Own Words "From the top of Pawnee Rock, I could see from six to ten miles in almost every direction. The whole mass was covered with buffalo, looking at a distance like one compact mass....I have seen such sights a number of times, but never on so large a scale." Source: Colonel Richard Irving Dodge, May 1871, quoted in Donald Berthrong, The Southern Cheyenne (Norman, OK: University of Oklahoma Press, 1963, p. 31. Drying Buffalo Meat The pole in this photo holds strips of bison or buffalo meat that are drying in the sun. Removing the moisture kept the meat from spoiling. Dried meat could be kept for several months.

  • A Study on the Characteristics of 20Th Century Womenfs Undergarments
    IJCC, Vol. 6, No. 2, 83 〜92(2003) 15 A Study on the Characteristics of 20th Century Womenfs Undergarments Seo-Hee Lee and Hyeon-Ju Kim* Assistant Professor, Dept, of Fashion and Beauty, Konyang University Instructor, Dept, of Clothing Science, Seoul Women's University* (Received June 23, 2003) Abstract This study aims to classify -women's undergarments of the 20th century by periods, and to examine their characteristics. The research method consists of a literature study based on relevant documentary records and a demonstrative analysis of graphic data collected from each reference. The features of women's under­ garments obtained from the study are as fallows: First, silhouette changes of outer garments appear to influence the type and style of a new undergarment. Second, technological development results in a new type of undergarments. Third, the development of new material appears to influence functions and design of undergarments. Fourth, social changes including the development of sports affects the changes of undergarments. As seen so far, the form or type, material, and color in undergarment diversify when fashion changes become varied and rapid. As shown before the 20th century, the importance of undergarment's type, farm, and function gradually reduces according to the changes of -women's mind due to their social participation, although it still plays a role in correcting the shape of an outer garment based on the outer silhouette. The design also clearly shows the extremes of maximization and minimization of decoration. Key words : undergarment, modern fashion, lingerie, infra apparel the beginning of the 20th century, corsets and I.

THOMAS HAILES LACY, THEATRICAL PUBLISHER, LONDON. NOTE BY THE AUTHOR. THE happy idea of continuing the interesting story embodied in Mr. TOM TAYLOR'S renowned " Ticket-of- Leave Man" originated with Mr. SEFTON PARRY, the liberal and spirited Proprietor and Manager of the New Greenwich Theatre, and, prospectively, of the Prince's Theatre, Holborn. At his suggestion, and in consultation with him, the present Drama was con- structed and written. The literary and dramatic treatment of the piece is entirely my own. I further avail myself gladly of this opportunity to acknowledge the obligation I am under to Mr. TOM TAYLOR, for the ready courtesy with which he gave me permission to adopt the names of a large portion of the dramatis persona; of his Drama.

  • Folklore: Some Useful Terminology
    Boycotting Baubles of Britain, Worksheets for Activity 1 1 Alexander Hamilton “His little woman at home drank tea twice a day,” Alexander Hamilton, 1774, Itinerarium, at American Memory At Curtis's I met company going to Philadelphia, and was pleased at it, being myself an utter stranger to the roads. This company consisted of three men, —–Thomas Howard, Timothy Smith, and William Morison. I treated them with some lemon punch, and desired the favour of their company. They readily granted my request, and stayed some time for me, till I had eat breakfast…. Morison (who, I understood, had been at the Land Office in Annapolis, inquiring about a title he had to some land in Maryland) was a very roughspun, forward, clownish blade, much addicted to swearing, at the same time desirous to pass for a gentleman, notwithstanding which ambition, the conscientiousness of his natural boorishness obliged him frequently to frame ill-timed apologies for his misbehaviour, which he termed frankness and freeness. It was often,—"Damn me, gentlemen, excuse me; I am a plain, honest fellow; all is right down plain-dealing, by God." He was much affronted with the landlady at Curtis's, who, seeing him in a greasy jacket and breeches, and a dirty worsted cap, and withal a heavy, forward, clownish air and behaviour, I suppose took him for some ploughman or carman, and so presented him with some scraps of cold veal for breakfast, he having declared that he could not drink "your damned washy tea." As soon as he saw his mess, he swore,—"Damn him, if it wa'n't out of
