  • Chasing Fame from the Saddle: the Odyssey of the Overland Westerners
    1 CHASING FAME FROM THE SADDLE: THE ODYSSEY OF THE OVERLAND WESTERNERS By Samantha Szesciorka Introduction In 1915, four men arrived on horseback at the towering gates of the Panama­Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. They were dressed in their cleanest cowboy duds and had even given their horses a good bath and brushing before they arrived. The men sat tall in their saddles as their horses walked through the crowded thoroughfare, a shaggy black dog trotting behind them. They had reason to promenade – they were taking the final steps of an unprecedented equestrian journey. The riders were on their last dollar, road weary, and homesick, but nonetheless optimistic. The Panama­Pacific International Exposition was to be the grand homecoming of the Overland Westerners, as they called themselves. After three years on the trail, the men had ridden more than 20,000 miles to visit every state capitol in the U.S., and they were sure that fame and fortune now awaited them. However, when they reached their destination at the Expo grounds, they were devastated to discover that acclaim is not necessarily guaranteed for great success. Overshadowed by the myriad of wonders that the Expo offered, the Overland Westerners found they could not compete. The public simply wasn’t interested in four men with nothing better to do than ride around on horses. Defeated and disillusioned, the men returned home penniless. The Overland Westerners were promptly forgotten. 2 The Overland Westerners were neither the first nor the last to undertake an equestrian expedition across the United States. During the 20th century, many long riders set out to find adventure in the saddle.

These design changes are the focus of the Michiana Humane Society house tour on Saturday, Sept. 27, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The earliest home on this year’s tour is a colonial revival showpiece on Lake Shore Drive in Long Beach, designed by Ahlgrim & Boonstra and originally built for Michigan City industri- alist Count Adolph Van Spanje. In 1923, he began acquiring property that eventually extend- ed from one street to another, a total of six or seven lots, so as to have an impressive setting with plen- ty of space for lush gardens, parking areas and driveways. Today owned by John Leinweber and Jim Laughlin, the home is entered through an elab- orate, paneled front door embellished with fan- light and sidelights. Visitors pull up to the porte cochere and stroll across neatly trimmed lawns — the entire experience creating an impression of having arrived at a very important place.

  • Tim Goodale's Frontier Contributions to Idaho Were Quite Significant Editor
    I-OCTA Members have Membership in National OCTA. All Dues Paid OCTA, Box 1019, Independence, MO 64051-0519 XX Issue 1 January 2008 James McGill, Editor [email protected] 208 467 4853/ Cell 250 6045 _________________________________ Tim Goodale’s Frontier Contributions to Idaho were Quite Significant Editor The many contributions that Timothy Goodale made to growth in the West, and to the early supports for human livelihood and provisions were important then and now. When he led his wagon train from an area near Boulder, Colorado, and across Wyoming, Idaho and Eastern Oregon, his main intent was just to get certain emigrants to the destinations they had chosen. Published reports of this accomplishment have indicated that he led the train beginning from the area of Fort Hall on the Snake River in Idaho, but that has now been proven as a short- changing of the final big project in his life. He had started with only a few miners’ wagons, increased to a very large train as others joined him, and decreased by half when many chose to go northerly to Montana. Then 14 miles west of Arco, Idaho, before beginning to follow the treacherous volcanic fields along the southern end of the Pioneer Mountains, grew again to the largest train ever to cross Idaho. In the Boise Valley the train then again divided back down to the component trains that had joined him about 200 miles earlier. He finished into Oregon with about 70 wagons. Another development greatly aided his trail contributions.

Hellickson Department Commander 2017 – 2018 Version 1921.1.1 2 THE RED POPPY FOR MEMORIAL DAY “Poppies in the wheat fields and the pleasant hills of France Reddening in the summer breeze that bid them not and dance.” So sang the soldier poet of the A.E.F.F. that blazing summer of 1918 when an unleashed American army was writing the Oureq and Vesle into our history. He sang of the poppies because it was through machinegun raked fields of them that the doughboys were charging; he sang of them because the doughboys were wearing them in their helmets as they roared ahead. Not all of us were along the Oureq and the Vesle that summer, taking German strong points with poppies in our helments, but every American can wear his poppy this Memorial Day, when the poppy, as the offical memorial flower of the American Legion, will blossom in hundreds of thousands of loyal lapels. The American who wears the poppy on Memorial Day is showing that he has not forgotten; for he wears it to remember – “Poppies in the wheat fields; how still beside them lie Scattered forms that stir not when the star shells burst on high; Bently bending o’er them beneath the moon’s soft glance “Poppies in the Wheat fields; how still ransomed hills of France.” The Red Poppy is the Offical Memorial Flower.
