Lake Papers, The Huntington Library, San Marino, California. Provenance Purchased from Carolyn Lake, September 1965. Biographical Note Stuart Nathaniel Lake (1890-1962), author and screenwriter, was a native of New York and is best known for his writing about the West. He worked for the New York Herald (1910-1912), where his acquaintance with Bat Masterson led to his interest in western lore. After serving in World War I, Lake moved to San Diego, CA, and wrote for magazines. The success of his book, Wyatt Earp, frontier marshal (1931) led to his becoming a screenwriter for films such as The Westerner (1940), Wells Fargo (1937), My darling Clementine (1946), and Winchester '73 (1950). Scope and Content The collection contains correspondence, film and television scripts, articles, and photographs related to the writings and interests of Stuart Lake. The letters make up the largest part of the collection (13 boxes), and correspondents include Wyatt Earp, Josephine Earp, Eugene Manlove Rhodes, Eugene Cunningham, John Philip Clum and J. Frank Dobie. There is also a significant amount of correspondence between Lake and the Houghton Mifflin Company. The subject matter includes western personalities, motion pictures, and western places such as Tombstone, AZ, and Dodge City, KS. The collection contains a large amount of source material for the film, Wells Fargo (1937). Arrangement Arrangement The collection is arranged in three series: Correspondence (Boxes 1-13); Film and television scripts, articles, and source materials (Boxes 14-17); and Photographs and ephemera (Box 18).

FRAIKOR.</b> Born 1937. <b>Transcript</b> of <b>OH 1359V A-B</b> This interview was recorded on June 16, 2005, for the Maria Rogers Oral History Program and the Rocky Flats Cold War Museum. The interviewer is Hannah Nordhaus. The interview is also available in video format, filmed by Hannah Nordhaus. The interview was transcribed by Sandy Adler. NOTE: Interviewer’s questions and comments appear in parentheses. Added material appears in brackets. [A]. 00:00 (OK, we’re recording. This is the Rocky Flats Cold War Museum Oral History Project. I’m interviewing Fred Fraikor. I’m Hannah Nordhaus. It’s the 16th of June, 2005. We’re at Fred’s office at the Colorado School of Mines, where he teaches.) (Fred, to get started, if you could just tell me a little bit about your background, where you were born, what your parents did.) OK. I was born in a steel town called Ducaine, Pennsylvania, which is one of the suburbs of Pittsburgh. My parents, although my dad grew up here, were of Slovak&mdash;back then it was Czechoslovakia&mdash;origin. My dad, like all the other immigrants at the time, would run back and forth, they’d make their money in the coal mines and the steel mills and then they’d go back to Czechoslovakia, buy up land, and come back here. What they didn’t realize was that the Communists would then confiscate the land, which is why I’m not a big land baron at this point. He brought my mother back here in 1936, just before World War II, when the Nazis invaded.

  • Overland Stagecoach Service Through Tucson” and “A Half Century of Tucson-Area Stagecoach Service.”
    The History of Stagecoaches in Tucson, Arizona Bob Ring August 2012 AUTHOR’S NOTES This article is based on a two-part newspaper series that ran in the Arizona Daily Star Regional Sections on June 28 and July 12, 2012. This story combines the newspaper columns: “Overland Stagecoach Service through Tucson” and “A Half Century of Tucson-Area Stagecoach Service.” In this integrated article, I took the opportunity to include significant new material not covered in the newspaper. For comments or questions, please contact me via e-mail at [email protected]. 2 Overland Stagecoach Service through Tucson 1857-1880 If it weren’t for stagecoaches, Tucson wouldn’t have developed to be the town we see today! Let’s set the stage (sorry). Stagecoaches are defined as public conveyances that carry mail, express, and/or passengers. The term “stage” originally referred to the distance between stages or stations on a route. Now, let’s get to the problem. In 1850, two years after its gold rush began in 1848, California became the 31st state of the Union, separated from the rest of the country by the vast expanse of the Great Plains and the Rocky Mountains. Mail delivery to California from the East took at least a month and a half by steamship and pack animal across Panama. From the beginning, California pressured the U. S. Government to provide faster mail service. It took five more years for military expeditions and surveyors to establish a trail across the southwestern U.S. that stagecoaches could use year round for overland mail delivery.

Background Information History: Arizona State Parks and Trails was created in 1957 with the goal to “select, acquire, preserve, establish, and maintain area of natural features, scenic beauty, historical and scientific interest, zoos and botanical gardens, for education, pleasure, recreation and the health of the people…” Tombstone Courthouse became the agency’s second state park in 1959. The courthouse was built in 1882 in order to house the records for the newly formed Cochise County. The courthouse quickly became part of the successful effort to bring security and order to an area of loose organization and governance. After the county seat was relocated to Bisbee in 1929, Tombstone’s courthouse largely sat vacant until it was opened to the public as a historic park.

  • Butterfield Overland Mail Company Stagecoaches and Stage (Celerity) Wagons Used on the Southern Trail
    Butterfield Overland Mail Company Stagecoaches and Stage (Celerity) Wagons used on the Southern Trail 1858-1861 by ©2013 Gerald T. Ahnert 1027 Westmoreland Ave. Syracuse, NY 13210 Email: [email protected] Telephone: 315-472-3876 This is a copyrighted report and no part of it may be used, including the images, without permission of the author except for short passages for reference. ©April 2013-Gerald T. Ahnert 1 Overview Celebrations in the southwest, often called “Butterfield Stage Days,” commemorating this important chapter in American history, incorrectly use replica stagecoaches, instead of stage (celerity) wagons. Also, many southwest museums often display stagecoaches which are erroneously contributed to Butterfield As the “Butterfield Stage Days” celebrations and museum displays are the most visible to the public, they have contributed significantly to the erroneous history of John Butterfield’s Overland Mail Company. There are some historians that I have been working with in Arizona, who are trying to correct these inaccuracies. Although the use of stagecoaches and stage (celerity) wagons used by the Overland Mail Company has been basically covered in my 2011 book The Butterfield Trail and Overland Mail Company in Arizona, 1858-1861, this comprehensive report is prepared as an aid to historians. Thirteen images made at the time of Butterfield’s service are used for this report. They are six prints from copies of original newspapers that are in my collection, six images are copies of original drawings, and one copy of a daguerreotype. Included are many descriptions by correspondents which describe the types of stagecoaches or stage wagons that were used by Butterfield.

The Alamo is next door. The Alamo—only a small portion survives. It is a place of legend. The siege of the Alamo defines Texas. In 1836 for 13 days a few Texians held an indefensible mission from the most powerful army on the continent, Santa Anna’s Mexican army. The Texi - ans were outnumbered by more than ten to one. The Alamo fell on the morn - ing of March 6, 1836, and the defenders died to the last man.
