AN IDEOLOGICAL ODYSSEY: EVOLUTION OF A REFORMER ROB WARDEN* INTRODUCTION When the U.S. Supreme Court narrowly and temporarily struck down the death penalty in Furman v. Georgia in 1972, holding that its arbitrary imposition amounted to cruel and unusual punishment,1 Justice Thurgood Marshall theorized in a concurring opinion that the average citizen, if fully informed of the realities of capital punishment, would “find it shocking to his conscience and sense of justice.”2 The majority’s reasoning resonated with me—as Justice Potter Stewart put it, the death penalty was “so wantonly and freakishly imposed” that it was “cruel and unusual in the same way that being struck by lightning is cruel and unusual”3—but Marshall’s thesis did not.

William E. Cook, Jr., the fi fth of eight children, was born December 23rd, 1928 in a tumbledown shack near Joplin, MO. His family lived in a small run-down shack on Oliver Street. His mother died when Billy was only fi ve, leaving the boy and his seven siblings in the care of their abusive, alcoholic father. Not long after Mrs. Cook’s death, authorities discovered Billy and his siblings living in an abandoned mine cave. Their father was nowhere to be found. Cook had been born with a growth over his right eye and, although the growth was later removed, his right eyelid always sagged, which earned him merciless teasing and is thought to have stoked his anger and his resentment toward his fellow man. People were repelled by his drooping right eye lid, a sinister-looking affl iction that caused adults and playmates to shun him.

  • Headin' T O the Pen, Bronze, Sharon Mcconnell © 2012
    Headin’ To The Pen, Bronze, Sharon McConnell © 2012 Welcome to the Museum of the Big Bend Home of Trappings of Texas! It's not unusual for a museum director to be asked, "What makes your museum special?" It happens every day. Visitors, staff, donors--they all want to know. For me the key to the Museum of the Big Bend’s special nature lies in the three aspects of its distinctive personality: its exhibits, its unique setting, and its commitment to the generation of new ideas while at the same time taking care in preservation of our rich history and culture. Founded in 1937, the Museum of the Big Bend has been a key factor in preserving western art and the Big Bend ranching culture. Our mission is grounded in the belief that the visual arts are an integral part of our lives, serving as an essential tool to educate young and old about our past, present, and future. With more 125 works of art and gear displayed this year at the 27th Annual Trappings of Texas Exhibit & Sale, the Museum provides a comprehensive opportunity to view some of the most talented traditional western artists’ creative achievements as we continue to celebrate our unique ranching heritage. The Trappings of Texas Exhibit & Sale continues to be the flagship event and exhibit at the Museum and it is through the commitment of so many that this Texas Tradition endures. This year, the Museum of the Big has even more reason to celebrate. September 21st through December 10th, 2013, the museum will exhibit the “Treasures from the Frederic Remington Museum” and host the Museum of the Big Bend Frederic Remington Symposium.
