Stell 1856 – 1939 Young Thomas Matthew Stell arrived in Texas in 1858 with his parents, aboard a steamer at the port of Indianola. He was educated at Covey College in Concrete, DeWitt County, Texas and made three cattle drives along the old trail from Cuero to Dodge City before he was seventeen years old. Stell worked as a cowboy on large ranches in Wyoming Territory until he returned to Texas in 1881. Stell married twice, and had five children. Career as DeWitt County Sheriff Tom Stell was appointed Sheriff of DeWitt County in 1892 – still frontier days in law enforcement. Local history connects him with a handful of infamous outlaws of the Old West. According to court records, Sheriff Stell delivered John Wesley Hardin Hardin – fugitive from justice and black- hat folk hero – to serve time for murder in Huntsville Prison. According to Stell’s sister, Nancy, Tom saw Bat Masterson in Dodge City, and was acquainted with Frank James (brother and fellow outlaw of Jesse James). Her account of his career also mentions one good guy – frontier law- man Wyatt Earp – who is imortalized in the 1957 motion picture “Gunfight at the OK Corral.” DeWitt County Family Roots As a very young man, Tom Stell rode cattle to Kansas, Missouri, Montana and Wyoming during the era of the great cattle drives. Stell was hired by Texas rancher J. Frank White to work in Wyoming, which he did for four years before returning to Texas. On his return, he married White’s sister in law, Susan Amanda Kennedy, who died in 1894. The couple had four children. Stell later married Irene Galle in 1896, who lived until 1963.

We were living in colorado at the time, and we heard about a family of nor - wegian-American sheepherders in Montana who were among the last to trail their band of sheep long distances — about 150 miles each year, all of it on hoof — up to the mountains for summer pasture. i visited the Allestads that April during lambing, and i was so taken with the magnitude of their life — both its allure and its arduousness — that we ended up following them, their friends and their irish-American hired hands intensely over the following years. to the point that they felt like family. Sweetgrass is one of nine films to have emerged from the footage we have shot over the last decade, the only one intended principally for theatrical exhibition. As the films have been shaped through editing, they seem to have become as much about the sheep as about their herders. the humans and animals that populate the footage commingle and crisscross in ways that have taken us by surprise. Sweetgrass depicts the twilight of a defining chapter in the history of the American West, the dying world of Western herders — descendants of scandinavian and northern european homesteaders — as they struggle to make a living in an era increasingly inimical to their interests. set in Big sky country, in a landscape of remarkable scale and beauty, the film portrays a lifeworld colored by an intense propinquity between nature and culture — one that has been integral to the fabric of human existence throughout history, but which is almost unimaginable for the urban masses of today.

Using original documents I gathered in research trips to Chile and Spain, I am able to reconstruct the debates that went on both sides of the Atlantic over funds, protection from ’ th pirates, and indigenous slavery that so defined Chile s formative 17 century. While my conclusions are unique, frontier residents from Paraguay to northern New Spain were also dealing with volatile indigenous alliances, threats from European enemies, and questions about how their tiny settlements could get and keep the attention of the crown.

  • Protocolo Para La Descripción Del Apero Del Huaso 2016
    Protocolo para la descripción del apero del huaso 2016 Lorena Cordero Valdés BREVE HISTORIA DEL HUASO CHILENO os conquistadores españoles influyeron fuertemente en las costumbres y tradiciones presentes en la zona central de nuestro país, lo que condujo al mestizaje cultural, ya que el español debió integrarse a las costumbres de los indígenas para poder hacer posible la convivencia. Surge así la encomienda, que era la asignación de una cantidad de tierra e indios sobre los cuales el soldado español tenía dominio. De esta convivencia nace una raza mestiza entre conquistadores y conquistados. Si nos atenemos a su origen histórico y a elementos raciales que dieron origen al mestizo y que son los elementos ancestrales del huaso tales como padre español, pero no cualquiera de los españoles que llegaron durante la Conquista, sino andaluces con madre y abuela indias, sumado al medio ambiente en el que se desenvuelve su vida y la actividad agrícola a la que se dedica, se podría definir al huaso como un mestizo ascendente enriquecido y de vida rural. El mestizo ascendente tomó las costumbres y la idiosincrasia del padre español, más que de la madre india. Vivió con el padre o amparado por él, apegado a un pedazo de tierra, o junto a la madre que desempeñaba funciones domésticas en casa del español. Se crió en un ambiente español, oyendo y hablando su lengua, conociendo y practicando su religión, es decir, adquiriendo sus hábitos; con los años llegó a convertirse en un individuo nacido en Chile asimilado al español, que poco o nada tenía que ver con el indio, compenetrado del linaje paterno.

    Mariano Latorre, Novelista Chileno Contemporineo (Concluye) SEGUNDA PARTE Elementos chilenos en la obra de Latorre I. LA TIERRA El paisaje en America tiene una importancia capital, pues su descripci6n es lo que da originalidad a la literatura. En la literatura colonial la descripci6n de e1 es pobrisima. Generalmente los poe- mas 6picos no contenian alusi6n al respecto. En la epoca romintica es cuando el paisaje adquiere el caricter y la fuerza necesaria que contribuye a darle un matiz determinado, autentico. En la epoca moderna, el paisaje se torna ideol6gico. Mariano Latorre es un devoto del paisaje criollo, cuyas belle- zas las sabe interpretar y sentir. Sus paisajes se caracterizan por ser muy objetivos. Poseen gran exactitud y autenticidad. Paisaje marino: ... en la caleta, el paisaje marino tenia esa calma caracteris- tica de las grandes bellezas de la tierra: amontonibanse las colinas en la desembocadura del rio, y luego un muro de maciza montafia corria hacia el Sur, pareciendo las rocas que se prolongaban en la luminosa perspectiva contrafuertes de una muralla china: entre los hue- cos de estos contrafuertes colibanse las olas bafiindolos de inmaculada blancura.

  • La Nueva Canción and Its Significance
    Excerpt * Temple University Press 1 La Nueva Canción and Its Significance uring the 1960s and 1970s, profound political changes were taking place in Chile and in other parts of Latin America. New political Dand social movements of students, workers, peasants, urban shanty- town dwellers, and other groups mobilized to demand rights and political inclusion along with deeper democratization and structural changes in elit- ist systems. The 1960s were marked by the Cuban Revolution and the war in Vietnam, and many young people in Chile, as in other countries, were strongly anti-imperialist and in favor of progressive social change. These popular movements coalesced to form a powerful force that was instrumen- tal in electing the democratic socialist Salvador Allende president in 1970. Allende’s goal was to preside over a peaceful, constitutional path to social- ism in Chile. He served for three turbulent years, attempting to implement a program to reduce social inequalities, until he was overthrown in the U.S.- backed military coup of 1973. Political and Social Context In Chile in the early 1960s, social divisions were severe. Some 25 percent of the population had access to sewage services, and only 10–11 percent of rural populations had supplied drinking water. In 1960, 16.4 percent of the population was illiterate.1 Tens of thousands of people had built crude, leaky shacks to live in on the outskirts of Santiago that lacked plumbing, run- ning water, and electricity. Workers had few rights and lived in overcrowded Excerpt * Temple University Press 2 Chapter 1 tenements, shantytowns, or single-room company housing; miners lived in company towns near the mines, enduring harsh conditions.
