This was especially so in the "Norwegian corridor" stretching from south of Westby in Vernon County to north of Eau Claire into Barron County1 So popular was this sport in its heyday that there "was a time that if a Norwegian / moved to your town, a ski jump was likely to appear within a year."2 Ski jumping's popu­ larity was launched in earnest as immi­ grants from Norway formed local clubs in the late centurv, and it flour­ ished for decades in many communities as the boys of summer regularly exchanged A their baseball bats for jumping skis at the \ A onset of winter snows.

The top prize was taken by the premier jumper of these early years, Mikkel Hemmestvedt. At the conclu­ sion of the ski jumping, the crowd returned to Central Hall for speeches and a banquet in honor of the visiting clubs.

Immediately on the heels of this tournament, Dovre joined other clubs in making plans for a tournament in Cameron Junction in just ten days.13 The La Crosse area was determined to keep pace. The year before, in February 1905, the La Crosse Tribune reported that at Medary "one of the first and most successful ski tournaments ever held in this part of the state was pulled off by a number of Norwe­ gian sportsmen, devotees of the Scandina­ vian national sport." This tournament was intended as the first step: "It is the intention of the ski runners of this city to organize a ski club and tournaments will probably be held every Sunday the remainder of the winter season. w Ski clubs were formed in small towns too.

  • Representations of Antarctic Exploration by Lesser Known Heroic Era Photographers
    Filtering ‘ways of seeing’ through their lenses: representations of Antarctic exploration by lesser known Heroic Era photographers. Patricia Margaret Millar B.A. (1972), B.Ed.

Patricia Margaret Millar Date ii Abstract Photographers made a major contribution to the recording of the Heroic Era of Antarctic exploration. By far the best known photographers were the professionals, Herbert Ponting and Frank Hurley, hired to photograph British and Australasian expeditions. But a great number of photographs were also taken on Belgian, German, Swedish, French, Norwegian and Japanese expeditions. These were taken by amateurs, sometimes designated official photographers, often scientists recording their research. Apart from a few Pole-reaching images from the Norwegian expedition, these lesser known expedition photographers and their work seldom feature in the scholarly literature on the Heroic Era, but they, too, have their importance. They played a vital role in the growing understanding and advancement of Antarctic science; they provided visual evidence of their nation’s determination to penetrate the polar unknown; and they played a formative role in public perceptions of Antarctic geopolitics.
