  • The American Pioneer Woman Circa 1930: Cultural Debates and the Role of Public Art
    The American Pioneer Woman Circa 1930 85 The American Pioneer Woman Circa 1930: Cultural Debates and the Role of Public Art Janet Galligani Casey Last February a dozen women set out to tour the U.S. They were a curious company. Dressed in the style of the early 19th century, they remained totally impervious to the appraising stares of approximately 750,000 persons. —Time Magazine, January 2, 19281 In 1927, an unusual contest seized the attention of the American public. Oklahoma oil magnate E. W. Marland, inspired to commemorate the role of women on the American frontier, set aside more than $300,000 for the eventual erection of a monument in his hometown of Ponca City and invited prominent sculptors to submit appropriate designs. Over the next several months, twelve miniature bronze casts based on those designs were exhibited in major cities throughout the U.S., drawing tens of thousands of visitors who were invited to share their opinions via formal ballot. Although Marland retained the right to make the final decision, art critics, cultural commentators, and ordinary citizens nonetheless engaged in robust debate about the suitability of each of the models and, by extension, the symbolic parameters for an iconic female of the frontier. When the completed full-sized monument was unveiled in 1930 before a crowd estimated at 40,000—on a specially declared state holiday featuring Indian pow-wows, fiddling contests, and parades of Conestoga wagons—the cultural 0026-3079/2010/5103/4-085$2.50/0 American Studies, 51:3/4 (Fall/Winter 2010): 85-107 85 86 Janet Galligani Casey significance of the moment was reinforced through public addresses by none other than President Herbert Hoover and Secretary of War (and Oklahoma native) Patrick J.

Their awe before the vast inland sea of grass, their hardships in conquer­ ing it for agriculture, and their sense of loss once the deed was done receive a fine and highly personal portrayal in Madson's work, though a non-native to the Plains may occa­ sionally find his narrative slightly sweet. Closely following the recent advances in protection and restoration of the tallgrass prairie, the final chapter has been signifi­ cantly expanded in the updated edition. In "People's Pastures," Madson lovingly describes the efforts required to restore a patch of old farmland to its original condition. Anyone harboring dreams of a backyard miniprairie will find his accounts encouraging. Madson, an Iowa native, could still have paid more attention to significant on-going restoration and research efforts in Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma.
