  • THE WALTER STANLEY CAMPBELL COLLECTION Inventory and Index
    THE WALTER STANLEY CAMPBELL COLLECTION Inventory and Index Revised and edited by Kristina L. Southwell Associates of the Western History Collections Norman, Oklahoma 2001 Boxes 104 through 121 of this collection are available online at the University of Oklahoma Libraries website. THE COVER Michelle Corona-Allen of the University of Oklahoma Communication Services designed the cover of this book. The three photographs feature images closely associated with Walter Stanley Campbell and his research on Native American history and culture. From left to right, the first photograph shows a ledger drawing by Sioux chief White Bull that depicts him capturing two horses from a camp in 1876. The second image is of Walter Stanley Campbell talking with White Bull in the early 1930s. Campbell’s oral interviews of prominent Indians during 1928-1932 formed the basis of some of his most respected books on Indian history. The third photograph is of another White Bull ledger drawing in which he is shown taking horses from General Terry’s advancing column at the Little Big Horn River, Montana, 1876. Of this act, White Bull stated, “This made my name known, taken from those coming below, soldiers and Crows were camped there.” Available from University of Oklahoma Western History Collections 630 Parrington Oval, Room 452 Norman, Oklahoma 73019 No state-appropriated funds were used to publish this guide.

    Settling the West, 1865 to 1890 Chapter 4a, Pages 154 to 179 The American Vision: Modern Times Glencoe / McGraw-Hill, 2008 Although the Civil War had inflicted massive casualties on the entire nation, and left the South’s infrastructure damaged, the nation as a whole experience growth during the second half of the 1800s. The fighting of the war had been mostly in the southeastern parts of the country. West of the Mississippi, and north of the Mason- Dixon Line, railroads, telegraph lines, and factories continued to expand. People settled new land and began to farm it. In the West, three opportunities attracted settlers: mining, ranching, and farming. The initial wave of gold mining, the California Gold Rush, lasted from 1848 to 1856, but more and bigger discoveries of lead, coal, iron, copper, and other minerals began in 1859, when silver ore was found in Nevada. In the 1870s, mining began in Colorado, South Dakota, and Montana. Boomtowns grew near mining discoveries. These cities expanded their populations in a single year from near zero to many thousands. The inhabitants of these town were mainly men between the ages of 17 and 40. There were few women, children, or older people. Because of this imbalance, crime and violence were common. Another problem was the slow growth of proper law enforcement: it took time to establish sheriffs and police. Until a city government could be established, volunteers formed ‘vigilance committees’ to keep the peace. Near the boomtown of Tombstone, Arizona, silver was discovered in 1877. The population quickly swelled to 14,000.

Human Occupation and Ecological Change in the Borderland Region of Arizona/New Mexico/Sonora/Chihuahua: An Analysis of Causes and Consequences Diana Hadley, Senior Editor, Documentary Relations of the Southwest; Thomas E. Sheridan, Ph. D., Curator of Ethnohistory, Arizona State Museum; Peter Warshall, Editor, Ph. D., Whole Earth Magazine his study examines the human impacts that have shaped the nature and rate T of ecological change in the Borderlands region. The study area includes the San Simon, San Bernardino, and Animas valleys, the western portion of the Playas Valley, and the Peloncillo and Animas mountain ranges in Cochise County, Ari­ zona, and Hidalgo County, New Mexico, extending several miles across the inter­ national boundary into contiguous portions of Sonora and Chihuahua. The study covers the period of recorded human occupation, with a strong emphasis on the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the period when human occupation and ecological change were most intense. To assemble data for this study, re­ searchers have examined public records on the federal, state, and county level, private record collections, and published and unpublished sources, including his­ torical diaries and travel accounts. In addition, researchers have conducted oral histories, made on-site visits accompanied by informants, and have used repeat photography to assess change. The full report contains nine chapters, eight maps, over twenty photographs, and eight appendices. Archaeological remains indicate that the San Bernardino, Animas, Playas and San Simon valleys were inhabited during the late Pre-Columbian period, the val­ leys forming migration routes from Sonora and Chihuahua to the Mogollion Rim and the Rio Grande.

Zdeněk Janík, M.A., Ph.D. Jan Václavík Václavík, Jan. Strážci zákona a psanci Divokého západu. Bakalářská práce, Masarykova univerzita, 2019. Václavík, Jan. The Lawmen and the Outlaws of the Old West. Bachelor Thesis, Masaryk University, 2019. Anotace Bakalářská práce ‚‚ Strážci zákona a psanci Divokého západu ‘‘ si klade za cíl prozkoumat dějinné okolnosti období Divokého západu a zaznamenat jeho charakteristické znaky. V druhé části se práce zabývá životy strážce zákona Wyatta Earpa a psanců Butche Cassidyho a Sundance Kida a analyzuje o nich natočené filmy. Prvním závěrem je skutečnost, že obojí osoby ať strážce zákona či psance se mohly během svého života nečekaně přiklonit k odlišné straně zákona. Posledním závěrem je fakt, že i přes výslednou, vysokou kvalitu filmového zpracování může být představa diváků o Divokém západě značně zkreslená kvůli mýtům a nepřesnostem vytvořených tvůrci tradičních westernových filmů. Annotation The bachelor thesis ‘‘The Lawmen and the Outlaws of the Old West’’ aims to explore the historical background of the Old West period and mark its distinctive features. The second segment of the thesis inquires the lives and analyses the movies regarding the famous lawman Wyatt Earp and the outlaws known as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The first proposed conclusion is that both a lawman and an outlaw could have unexpectedly recourse their lives on the different side of the law. The last proposed conclusion is the fact that despite the eventual high-quality cinematisation, the audience’s perception of the Old West era can be heavily biased by the myths and inaccuracies the filmmakers have created in traditional western movies.
