As preparations were made for the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago, with its emphasis upon American accomplishments and customs, it was not surprising that someone suggested a horse race from the West to Chicago. The ride was designed to pit skilled Western horsemen against each other over a one thousand-mile route spanning the three states of Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois. This article presents the planning, the promotion, the opposition, and the story of the actual race. Cataloging Information: Names: A C Putnam, N H Weir, William

Through key members such as Alec Smith, Ian Smith’s son who was politically opposed to his father, MRA flourished in Rhodesia. Between 1975-197 they launched a variety of initiatives aimed at ‘building bridges of reconciliation’ and finding a solution to the war that was devastating the country. MRA played a pivotal role in the peaceful changeover from Ian Smith to Robert Mugabe in 1980. Since then, MRA has been through many struggles. Yet the committed team have pulled through and to this day groups meet in Harare and Gweru to bring transformation to individuals and their communities.
