  • The American Pioneer Woman Circa 1930: Cultural Debates and the Role of Public Art
    The American Pioneer Woman Circa 1930 85 The American Pioneer Woman Circa 1930: Cultural Debates and the Role of Public Art Janet Galligani Casey Last February a dozen women set out to tour the U.S. They were a curious company. Dressed in the style of the early 19th century, they remained totally impervious to the appraising stares of approximately 750,000 persons. —Time Magazine, January 2, 19281 In 1927, an unusual contest seized the attention of the American public. Oklahoma oil magnate E. W. Marland, inspired to commemorate the role of women on the American frontier, set aside more than $300,000 for the eventual erection of a monument in his hometown of Ponca City and invited prominent sculptors to submit appropriate designs. Over the next several months, twelve miniature bronze casts based on those designs were exhibited in major cities throughout the U.S., drawing tens of thousands of visitors who were invited to share their opinions via formal ballot. Although Marland retained the right to make the final decision, art critics, cultural commentators, and ordinary citizens nonetheless engaged in robust debate about the suitability of each of the models and, by extension, the symbolic parameters for an iconic female of the frontier. When the completed full-sized monument was unveiled in 1930 before a crowd estimated at 40,000—on a specially declared state holiday featuring Indian pow-wows, fiddling contests, and parades of Conestoga wagons—the cultural 0026-3079/2010/5103/4-085$2.50/0 American Studies, 51:3/4 (Fall/Winter 2010): 85-107 85 86 Janet Galligani Casey significance of the moment was reinforced through public addresses by none other than President Herbert Hoover and Secretary of War (and Oklahoma native) Patrick J.

  • U.S. Capitol Visitor Center Statues
    U.S. Capitol Visitor Center Statues Statues from the National Statuary Hall Collection Twenty-four statues from the National Statuary Hall Collection are on display in the Capitol Visitor Center, the latest addition to the United States Capitol. The collection began in 1864 when the Congress invited each state to donate a marble or bronze statue of a distinguished citizen. The one hundredth statue was unveiled in 2005. The statues represent the diversity of the country as well as the diversity of the contributions made by its citizens. They are among those most recently donated by the states; the most recent will be Helen Keller, donated by Alabama. Six depict female subjects and five depict Native Americans (including one Pacific Island native), two of whom are women. The statues were created by both male and female sculptors. Twelve of the statues represent persons who lived in or into the twentieth century, several of whom were citizens who did not hold government or military office. They include many of the most visually striking sculptures in the collection. At least one statue from every state remains on display in the historic part of the Capitol. The statues on view in the Capitol Visitor Center, with the dates they were placed in the Capitol, are listed below: William Edgar Borah (1865-1940)—Idaho Bronze by Bryant Baker, 1947 Emancipation Hall King Kamehameha I of Hawaii is one of the 24 state statues on display in the Capitol Visitor Center. Lawyer, U.S. senator 1907-1940. As Chairman of Committee on Education and Labor, sponsored bills that created the Department of Labor and the Children’s Bureau.

  • MILLARD FILLMORE in BUFF ALO by John T
    * * ~ * * MILLARD FILLMORE IN BUFF ALO by John T. Horton B EFOREthe City Hall of Buffalo stand the statutes of two Buf- falonians who became President of the United States. After being President, one of these, Grover Cleveland, never lived in Buffalo again; the other, Millard Fillmore, lived there con- tinuously to his death on March 8, 1874. Just seventy-four years of age, he died of a stroke in his big, rambling, brownstone house which stood on Niagara square at Delaware Avenue where the Statler Hilton Hotel now stands. Diagonally across from that site is the statue by Bryant Baker erected by the community Fillmore served for a lifetime. It is an impressive statue. The man it represents was an impressive man. He was impressive in person, in character, and in accomplishment. In life Millard Fillmore rose somewhat above middle height and was inclined to be portly. His cheeks were ruddy, his eyes twinkling. His rather massive head was crowned with white hair. Queen Victoria, to whom he was presented in the course of a trip to Europe in 1855-56, is said to have called him the handsomest man she had ever seen. Whether he was or not, he was certainly a man of distinguished appearance who looked as an ex-President of the United States ought to have looked. In office from July 10, 1850, to March 4, 1853, Fillmore had acted as a President of the United States ought to have acted. At a time of crisis he moved with vigor and resolution. He did much to save the Union by signing into law the series of measures known as The Great Compromise of 1850.
