Chapter 6: Federalists and Republicans, 1789-1816
Federalists and Republicans 1789–1816 Why It Matters In the first government under the Constitution, important new institutions included the cabinet, a system of federal courts, and a national bank. Political parties gradually developed from the different views of citizens in the Northeast, West, and South. The new government faced special challenges in foreign affairs, including the War of 1812 with Great Britain. The Impact Today During this period, fundamental policies of American government came into being. • Politicians set important precedents for the national government and for relations between the federal and state governments. For example, the idea of a presidential cabinet originated with George Washington and has been followed by every president since that time • President Washington’s caution against foreign involvement powerfully influenced American foreign policy.

Chasing Fame from the Saddle: the Odyssey of the Overland Westerners
1 CHASING FAME FROM THE SADDLE: THE ODYSSEY OF THE OVERLAND WESTERNERS By Samantha Szesciorka Introduction In 1915, four men arrived on horseback at the towering gates of the PanamaPacific International Exposition in San Francisco. They were dressed in their cleanest cowboy duds and had even given their horses a good bath and brushing before they arrived. The men sat tall in their saddles as their horses walked through the crowded thoroughfare, a shaggy black dog trotting behind them. They had reason to promenade – they were taking the final steps of an unprecedented equestrian journey. The riders were on their last dollar, road weary, and homesick, but nonetheless optimistic. The PanamaPacific International Exposition was to be the grand homecoming of the Overland Westerners, as they called themselves. After three years on the trail, the men had ridden more than 20,000 miles to visit every state capitol in the U.S., and they were sure that fame and fortune now awaited them. However, when they reached their destination at the Expo grounds, they were devastated to discover that acclaim is not necessarily guaranteed for great success. Overshadowed by the myriad of wonders that the Expo offered, the Overland Westerners found they could not compete. The public simply wasn’t interested in four men with nothing better to do than ride around on horses. Defeated and disillusioned, the men returned home penniless. The Overland Westerners were promptly forgotten. 2 The Overland Westerners were neither the first nor the last to undertake an equestrian expedition across the United States. During the 20th century, many long riders set out to find adventure in the saddle. -
Catalogue #19
Back of Beyond Books proudly releases Catalogue #19. We continue to feature books and ephemera from the American West but you’ll also find numerous pages of Americana, Travel and Photographic material along with Explora- tion, Mining and Native Americana. We’ve also picked up small collections of Poetry and Art Books which have been fun to catalogue. Perhaps my favorite genre of Catalogue #19 are the 21 Promotional items from western states and communities. These colorful pamphlets, mostly from the early 20th century, would make any Chamber of Commerce proud. It’s always interesting to see what items sell quickly in each catalogue. I of- ten guess wrong so I’ll leave the decisions up to you. Several items of note, however, include: The best association copy known of Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian--inscribed to Edward Abbey, a beautifully bright advertising poster for the ‘Field Self Discharging Rake’, a scarce promotional for the Salt River Valley of Arizona, a full-plate tintype from Volcano, California, and six large format albumen photographs depicting archaeological sites of Arizona and New Mexico by John K. Hillers. I’m also taken with the striking and rare Broadside for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, the very clean re- view copy of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring and the atlas from the Pike Expe- dition published in 1810. Thanks to my staff at the store for working around the piles and boxes of books. If you’re ever in Moab our shop is open daily; please stop in. Sophie Tomkiewicz used the skills she learned at the Colorado Rare Books School in developing Catalogue #19 and Eric Trenbeath is our designer. -
Federalists and Republicans 1789–1820
Federalists and Republicans 1789–1820 Why It Matters In the nation’s new constitutional government, important new institutions included the cabinet, a system of federal courts, and a national bank. Political parties gradually developed from the different views of citizens in the Northeast, South, and West. The new government faced special challenges in foreign affairs, including the War of 1812 with Great Britain. After the war, a spirit of nationalism took hold in American society. A new national bank was chartered, and Supreme Court decisions strengthened the power of the federal government. The Impact Today Policies and attitudes that developed at this time have helped shape the nation. • Important precedents were set for the relations between the federal and state governments. • Washington’s caution against foreign involvement has powerfully influenced American foreign policy. • Many Americans have a strong sense of national loyalty.

Pollution Prevention Appendix Appendix G: Pollution Prevention
Appendix O-O State of New Mexico Pollution Prevention Appendix Appendix G: Pollution Prevention Renewable Energy Resources Renewable energy sources, including solar, wind, hydropower, biomass, and geothermal, currently provide less than 1% (or 5.6 trillion BTUs) of New Mexico’s annual energy needs. The contribution of renewable energy has dropped from 6.6 trillion BTUs reported in 1997. This is contrary to the fact that our renewable energy resource base is very large and diverse.

According to AP, two reporters at the scene said Guevara was hit by assault rifle fire as he crossed an intersection with three Red Cross workers, and the fire came from the side of the street controlled by air force paratroopers. Rebels had withdrawn from positions on the other side of the street more than an hour before, and military officers on the scene had given the Red Cross workers the go-head to proceed, the witnesses said. Both insisted on not being identified by name for fear of reprisals. Guevara Paez was interred Dec. 3 in his hometown of Lolotique, Usulatan department. Guevara studied journalism and photography in San Salvador and also worked for a local radio station. -
