Americans Celebrate with Food, Whether New Year's Eve, the 4Th Of
Corn-Pork-Beef-Wheat Evening Presentation Iowa State University Ames, Iowa Americans celebrate with food, whether New Year’s eve, the 4th of July, Thanksgiving, or a host of local or regional, secular and religious festivities. American food has evolved and diversified through the centuries, from the simple, sustaining dishes of Colonial times to the complex food combinations that characterize the new millennium. Behind each food lies a history of use at different times at different geographical regions of America. Today, my objective is to briefly explore four of these foods: corn and pork; beef and wheat. And I begin with corn. Some call it maize, others call it corn. Regardless of name it is the same food, Zea mais. The word maize comes from the Taino language, spoken by the Arawaks, a Caribbean Native American nation, who greeted Columbus in 1492. The word maize subsequently transferred to Spanish, and entered other European languages as well. The alternative word, corn, originally spelled corne, is an Old English generic term for grain, whose meaning subsequently shifted to designate wheat. American-style English, however, continues to use the word corn in the sense of maize, usage that has continued into the 21st century. Maize was domesticated and first cultivated in the central valley of Mexico, perhaps 6,000 years ago, and ultimately became the primary dietary staple throughout Mesoamerica. Cultural exchange and trade gradually brought maize and other Mesoamerican crops northward into the geographical region now defined by the United States, where the grain was adopted in the semi- arid lands of the American southwest about 1,000 years ago, and about 800 years ago in the eastern seaboard region of North America. -
2007 Ghost Walk Ghosts Played by Jim Wellington, Gary Yoggy, Christine Gill and Joe Edkin
2007 Ghost Walk Ghosts played by Jim Wellington, Gary Yoggy, Christine Gill and Joe Edkin The Great Love Story of Samuel Clemens and Olivia Langdon My name is Katie Leary. You probably don't know who I was, and that is all right with me. I never sought fame or fortune, although I did attain some measure of both due to my connection with one of the most famous families of my time: that of Mr. Samuel Clemens (known better by his professional name of Mark Twain) and Miss Olivia Langdon. I was Miss Langdon's maid when Mr. Clemens courted her and I stayed at her side until the day she died. I remained with Mr. Clemens and their daughters for years after that. I'm sure you are all familiar with Mr. Clemens and his writing. I'm not here to tell you about that. Nor am I going to dwell on the unhappiness that befell Mr. Clemens and Miss Langdon. Every family must experience sadness, and Mr. Clemens was not immune: he outlived his brother, his wife, his son, and two of his three daughters. No, let us not spend our short time together this evening talking of tragedy. Instead, let me tell you one of the greatest love stories of my time, the story of the eternal devotion of Mr. Samuel Clemens held for the lovely Miss Olivia Langdon and their four children. The first time Samuel Clemens came to Elmira, it was at the invitation of Charley Langdon to spend a few days with the Langdon family. -
