THOMAS E. CRONIN AND ROBERT D. LOEVY TOM CRONIN AND BOB LOEVY IN THE NEWSPAPERS 2019 IN THE NEWSPAPERS – 2019 Page 1 THOMAS E. CRONIN AND ROBERT D. LOEVY IN THE NEWSPAPERS – 2019 Page 2 THOMAS E. CRONIN AND ROBERT D. LOEVY INTRODUCTION In the fall of 2016 two professors of Political Science at Colorado College, Thomas E. Cronin and Robert D. Loevy, were offered the opportunity to write periodic opinion columns for the local newspaper – the Colorado Springs Gazette. This launched a longtime project of the two professors writing for the newspaper for a number of years. Previously Tom Cronin and Bob Loevy had written together for the Denver Post, but only periodically. They also collaborated on a book on government and politics in Colorado. This book is a collection of the newspaper stories Cronin and Loevy wrote for the Colorado Springs Gazette in the year 2019. These are the stories as Cronin and Loevy wrote them. The dates on the stories are when the columns were written and not when they appeared in the newspaper. The headlines are the “working” headlines used by Cronin and Loevy and not the headlines used in the newspaper. This book offers the opportunity to read the facts, ideas, and opinions of two scholars of Colorado politics all in one place for the calendar year 2019. The actual published versions of these articles can be found on the Denver Post or the Colorado Springs Gazette websites. Except for the headlines, most of the articles were published exactly the way that Cronin and Loevy wrote them. -
Fred Barr 1882 - 1940 by Eric Swab
Fred Barr 1882 - 1940 By Eric Swab I have always considered Fred Barr the benevolent benefactor of Pikes Peak hikers. He is credited with single handedly building the famous trail from Manitou Springs to the summit of Pikes Peak that bares his name. It is clear that he loved the mountains; however, his motivation for building trails was a combination of that admiration and his entrepreneurial spirit. Fred was born in Arkansas in June of 1882 to William M. and Mary Wade Barr, the eldest of 6 children. All of his siblings were girls.1 He came to Colorado with his family in 18932 when he was 11 years old. By 1900 we find Fred living with his family in Colorado City (now the Westside of Colorado Springs).3 Fred’s maternal grandfather Joel H. Wade had settled at the foot of Cheyenne Mountain on the Cripple Creek stage road in 1885. The Cripple Creek stage stopped at Wade’s place during the mining camp’s boom days.4 It is said that young Fred liked to hitch rides on those stage coaches headed into the mountains.5 These experiences must have been quite a thrill for a Kansas boy, and undoubtedly contributed to Fred’s appreciation of Pikes Peak. The Burro Livery Business By 1900 the City Directory for Colorado City lists William Barr & Son, proprietors of burros & tourist carriages on the north side of Manitou Rd, West End. That same year, Fred Barr, at age 18, is listed as a driver at the Garden of Gods station, residing on the north side of Colorado Ave. -

This Plan affirms that the City is more than a collection of roads and buildings, it is a “palate of place” where the stories of those who came before us are appreciated and celebrated. I am appreciative of all the community members who participated and took time to help shape this Plan, as it will enhance and guide preservation efforts in the City for years to come. The HistoricCOS Preservation Plan celebrates the legacies of our founders and those that have followed; together our City can embrace its past and be ready to share its heritage. Through HistoricCOS, preservation in the City of Colorado Springs is best understood at the neighborhood level and influenced by willing and active members of the community. The acceptance and incorporation of historic and cultural resources is a central part of the ongoing economic and community development strategy of the City. Thank you again to all the members of our community who have contributed to the active protection and utilization of our irreplaceable resources. Sincerely, John Suthers Mayor HistoricCOS: Preserving the Character of the Community - December 2019 iii HistoricCOS PRESERVING THE CHARACTER OF THE COMMUNITY This project has been funded in part by a grant from the Peter Grant Fund for Colorado of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. -

Chapter 2 a History of Archaeology in Tennessee
Chapter 2 A History of Archaeology in Tennessee By Bobby R. Braly and Shannon Koerner “Like the Dachshund that is a dog and a half long and half a dog high, the state of Tennessee has peculiar proportions.” - Madeline D. Kneberg 1952: 190 Introduction As Kneberg pointed out in the above quote, the geography of Tennessee is based on a political design not shared by its prehistoric inhabitants. This east-west elongated political boundary spans many environmental zones and created a tripartite division across the state. This geographical division is symbolized by the three stars of the state flag: Knoxville in the east, Nashville in the middle, and Memphis in the west. The wide range of environmental regions has influenced the conduct of archaeology in the state. Temporally a history of archaeology in Tennessee reads much like a history of the state, beginning sporadically with early Euro-American settlement in the region and slowly growing over time. In this way, one may think about the history of archaeology in any state as entwined with a state’s development. People established in an area invariably become curious about those that came before them, especially when there are visible traces on the landscape. It is therefore understandable that many early pioneers of Tennessee archaeology were private citizens and not academics. As we discuss the history of archaeology in the Tennessee area, it may be appropriate to consider changes in society that coincide with changes in the way archaeology is conducted. Within this chapter we try as best as possible to cover as much of the history of Tennessee archaeology as we can.
