Many of the characters are familiar to every librarian and there is little problem -in-locating-informationout them; however, many others.are relatively obscure personalities and it becomes quite frustrating and time consuming for each librarian to search for each of these characters each time a request is received. The compilption of this index was undertaken in the hope that it will make such searches easier. DEFINITION o For the purpose of this index, the term character refers only to a person, real or imaginary, and does not refer to animals, places, or objects. LIMITATIONS This index only cites references to American folk characters contained in books. No recordings, filmstrips or other media are included. SCOPE iThisis not a comprehensive index.It contains references to on'y select American folk characters - those frequently requested plus a few others discovered in the various collections of American lore which were examined. a In the children's department all collection's of American folklore, excluding American Indian lore, were examined and the characters included. Books in the folklore area that pertained to individual characters were noted as well. Picture books on individual folk heroes were also included, however, material from books classified as juvenile fiction was not. Individual biographieswere excluded and material about American folk characters contained in collective biographies was included only when the collective biography was outside of the J 920area and,the individuals were difficult to locate elsewhere. Pertinent literary reference sources available in the children's reference collection were also checked for mentions of the various characters. In addition material froman adult book on general American folklore was included as the book had a format attractive to children and contained allusions to some characters about whom little or no information was available in the children's materials. ARRANGEMENT This index is arranged alphabetically by the character's last name. There are cross references from nicknames to real names. If the character has no known lastname he is listed under the name by which he is best known. J The call number for each book is given to the left of the entry. 'A J before the call number indicates the book is in the juvenile collection whilean E indicates it is in the easy section. A JR before the call number indicates .the book is part of the children's reference collection. If there isno letter before the call number the book is from the adult collection A list of all the books included is given at the end of the main index.

    BOOK REVIEWS The Keelboat Age on Western Waters. By Leland D. Baldwin. (Pittsburgh, University of Pittsburgh Press, 1941. xiv, 268 p. Maps, illustrations.) Here, in eight swiftly flowing chapters, is the turbulent story of river transportation in the Mississippi Valley prior to the steamboat era. Although Pittsburgh receives the spotlight and the Ohio Valley serves as the main stage for this colorful pageant, the Mississippi and the Missouri are not forgotten. The inclusion of such incidents as the capture of Vincennes on the Wabash during the American Revolution, the Battle of Campbell's Island on the Upper Mississippi during the War of 181 2, the great race of Manuel Lisa up the muddy Missouri in 181 1, and the removal of the famous Red River raft during the 1830's by Captain Henry MillerShreve illustrate the far-flung nature of the "boatable waters" of the Mississippi Valley which Thomas Hart Benton and William Clark estimated in 1820 at fiftythousand miles. Inhis opening chapter Dr. Baldwin discusses the role of the western waters in American expansion. Although primarily concerned with the keelboat, considerable space is allotted to the other types of river craft used in the Mississippi Valley from Revolutionary War days to about 1820. This is espe- cially true when boats and boat building are discussed in chapter two. The advantages and disadvantages of such craft as the bullboat and the bateau, the birchbark canoe and the dugout, the Mackinaw boat and the flatboat, the keel- boat and the barge are clearly outlined from the standpoint of cost, capacity, speed, and durability.

  • Program Notes by MARTIN BOOKSPAN
    LIVE FROM LINCOLN CENTER March 24, 1999 8-10 PM New York City Opera: Lizzie Borden Program Notes by MARTIN BOOKSPAN "Lizzie Borden"- Music by Jack Beeson; libretto by Kenward Elmslie; based on a scenario by Richard Plant. World premiere given at New York City Opera, March 25, 1965. "Lizzie Borden took an ax, and gave her father forty whacks." This childhood rhyme may have passed from currency in the waning years of the twentieth century, but the event it memorialized was very much alive in the waning years of the nineteenth. Along with the likes of Paul Bunyan and Johnny Appleseed, Lizzie Borden of Fall River, Massachusetts, assumed legendary status in the American popular imagination. In some respects the situation seems to be a remarkable parallel to one with which we are all familiar, the O.J. Simpson affair. These are the facts: on August 4, 1892, the citizens of Fall River were shaken by the brutal murder of two of its most solid citizens, Andrew Borden and his wife, Abbie Gray Borden. The finger of suspicion soon pointed to Andrew Borden's thirty-three-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, known as Lizzie, an apparently demure and reserved gentlewoman. She testified at an inquest, but thereafter refused comment, even declining to testify in her own defense at the trial that ensued. The evidence arrayed against her seemed confused and even conflicting, and many in the community could not bring themselves to believe that she was guilty. Weak testimony in her favor was offered by her sister, Emma; in the final summation, these were the words of her chief defense attorney: "To find her guilty, you must believe she is a fiend.

  • Who Murdered Joe Magarac?
    doi:10.7592/FEJF2014.59.kovacevic WHO MURDERED JOE MAGARAC? Ivan Kovacevic Abstract: The article examines the origin of an American steel industry mythical hero, Joe Magarac. The analysis is based on the original text by Owen Francis from 1931 and aims to resolve a dilemma – whether the text is genuine folklore or fakelore. The analytical method is layered and varied; it involves comparing Francis’s text to other elements of folklore from the host country, confronting the meaning of the legend of Joe Magarac with the genuine interests of steelworkers, and contextualising the legend in the social conflicts of the steel industry in Pennsylvania at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. Keywords: America, Joe Magarac, immigrants, mythical hero, Pittsburgh, steel industry, workers THE BIRTH OF JOE MAGARAC Bearing in mind that Joe Magarac, a significant American figure of Pittsburgh steel plants, is considered both a folklore and fakelore hero, it is reasonable to expect that there would be at least three stories about his birth: one of folklore, another of fakelore, and a folkloristic tale. As far as the last one is concerned, folklorists find that Joe Magarac was born in a folklore story and his emergence can be traced as early as the year 1931, to the text by Owen Francis published in Scribner’s Magazine, in which Joe Magarac was first mentioned. Francis’s initial version of Magarac’s story places his birth in a steel ore mountain or steel mine. However, by introducing Dorson’s notion of fakelore and by applying that notion to the stories of Paul Bunyan and Joe Magarac, the folklore basis of this character is negated, thus leaving his origin a blur.

  • Duelling in America, Ed
    Violence, Masculinity, Image, and Reality on the Antebellum Frontier RYAN L. DEARINGER It is a permanent and universal interest of mankind that men should not kill each other; but the particular and momentary interest of a nation or class may in certain cases make homicide excusable or even honorable. Honor is nothing but this particular rule, based on a par- ticular state ofsociety, by means of which a people distributes praise or blame. -ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE ocqueville, perhaps the most prophetic and certainly the most cited T nineteenth-century foreign observer of American life, had more to say about the image, reality, and significance of violence than scholars have rec- ognized. Like many of his contemporaries who observed Jacksonian America, he was puzzled by the ambiguous relationship between honor, violence, and social class, particularly as it played out in the ritual of the duel. The refusal of a challenge to duel, Tocqueville noted, was the only act he knew to be considered both honorable and dishonorable. Viewing Ryan L. Dearinger is a history graduate student at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana. A portion of this paper was presented at the Paul Lucas Conference in History, hosted by Indiana University, Bloomington, on April 12, 2003. 1 first wish to thank three great mentors: Mark David Hall, Kerry Irish, and Ralph Beebe of George Fox University I am particularly indebted to Nancy Gabin for her insights, guidance, and confidence in my work.

Kecman wanted to juxtapose the new comet with the butte that was an astronomical observatory in the years 900 – 1200 AD. Fajada (banded) Butte is home to the ancestral Puebloan sun shrine popularly known as “The Sun Dagger” site. The butte is closed to visitors to protect its fragile cultural sites. The clear skies over the Southwest led to discovery of Hale-Bopp on July 22-23, 1995. Alan Hale saw the comet from his driveway in Cloudcroft, New Mexico, and Thomas Bopp saw the comet from the desert near Stanfield, Arizona at about the same time. Marko Kecman: 115 N.
