  • Women Cattle Drovers Discussion (Oct 1996)
    H-Women Women Cattle Drovers Discussion (Oct 1996) Page published by Kolt Ewing on Thursday, June 12, 2014 Women Cattle Drovers Discussion (Oct 1996) Query from Heather Munro Prescott Prescott @ccsua.ctstateu.edu 23 Oct 1996 A student asked me whether it was true that women were used as cattle drivers in the nineteenth century West. I told her I had never heard of this. Is it true? Query X-Posted to H-West Responses: >From Stan Gibson [email protected] 24 Oct 1996 ...I think the answer depends on what is meant by "cattle driving." IMHO, 19c women on the ranges were usually too smart to get entangled in long drives to shipping or sale points--if they did so, they probably were also too smart to boast about it, especially when they were aware of the hardscrabble wages offered. As for the 19c cowmen, there wasn't much reason to note the roles played by their unpaid womenfolks. Moving cattle from summer to winter pasture, and other short drives, however, were undoubtedly common--and probably acceptable--chores for ranchers' wives, daughters, and perhaps even the odd girlfriend. It must have been nice change from heating water on woodstoves, separating and churning, giving birth without nitrous oxide or spinal blocks, and just generally being "useful" back at the ranch. A day or two in the saddle, even today, is fun--and, from my observations recently, still fairly common on western ranches. I have also noted that the well-praised western male courtliness can have its limits, depending on the circumstances.

  • Press Release
    balzer projects PRESS RELEASE Brian Duggan | The Last Day Diary Redux Season Opening – 4 September 2015 The exhibition lasts until 15th October, 2015 (Finissage 17-19h) balzer projects , Wallstrasse 10 , 4051 Basel, Switzerland http://balzerprojects.com balzer projects is pleased to present The Last Day Diary Redux, a new exhibition by Irish artist Brian Duggan. After already having shown solo projects with the gallery internationally (Berlin, Rotterdam and Brussels), Duggan is now staging his first solo-show in Switzerland. The Last Day Diary Redux expands upon the artist’s larger body of work regarding community, citi- zenship and resistance. His new installation is the latest in a series of works exploring a set of events from the Johnson County War, Wyoming in 1892. Duggan’s new work is an examination of crisis and chaos, hope and despair and a poetic acknowledgement of the inevitable. The installation, The Last Day Diary Redux is inspired by a specific historical relic, namely a letter (the diary) written by Nathan D. Champion. After having been falsely accused by a wealthy member of the Wyoming Stock Gro- wers Association of being a cattle thief, Champion was murdered by a band of hit men. On the day of the siege of his cabin, Champion wrote a letter – The Last Day Diary – which became a poignant testament of a person in crisis and the last hours he spent surrounded This new gallery installation re-examines both elements from the history of these events, and also its cinematic staging and retelling. It is a powerful, yet contemplative work, which draws parallels to contemporary issues of immigration and power, and the situations and pressures between those with food, cattle and land, and those without.

  • Major Wolcott's List of Guns Used by the Johnson County War Invaders
    Major Wolcott's List of Guns Used by the Johnson County War Invaders The Johnson County War took place in Wyoming in April of 1892. In essence, a group of powerful Wyoming cattlemen created a "Death List" of small ranchers, cowboys and others they considered a hindrance to large scale ranching interests. These cattlemen belonged to the "Cheyenne Club" and included the political, social and economic elite of Wyoming. They included the governor, United States senators, judges, powerful business men, newspaper owners, etc. Not a group any small rancher or cowboy would want to buck heads against. In early April, 1892 these cattlemen staged an invasion of Johnson County and started to look for men on the Death List. They hired Texas gunmen, travelled on a special train, and outfitted in Cheyenne and Casper. Then they moved north into Johnson County. They managed to surround and kill Nick Ray and Nate Champion at the KC Ranch. They then headed toward Buffalo, where many other men on the Death List were known to be located. The men in the county were alerted by this time, however, and the invaders were themselves besieged at the TA Ranch, near Buffalo. They were pinned down for two days until the invader's friends got President Benjamin Harrison to declare a state of insurrection in Johnson County and have the Army put a stop to the fighting. As part of the surrender, the invaders turned in all their arms and equipment to the Army. Major Wolcott, as unofficial leader of the group made a list of these arms and provided it to the government.
