When I’m not on the tractor or helping my husband Clinton with the many duties of a farm wife in South West Ness County I have camera in hand. I love to shoot just about anything and can’t wait to stick the SD card in the com- puter and start editing. With growing grandchildren in sports and activities it has kept me busy along with Senior pho- tos and families. After seeing the theme of Honest to Goodness Fun for the cover photo contest for Wild West I started trying to think of something that would fit the title. Not far from our place in Ness County is a Miss Rodeo Kansas with a four year old little boy named Gunner Foos. He was a sure candidate for my idea. He was a nat- ural with his cowboy hat, spurs, rope and two Corgi’s Meg and Ozzie who follow him everywhere. He loves horses and farm life with dad and mom. He knows he is going to be a super star now that he is going to be on the front cov- er of a magazine. Something he can share WILDWEST COUNTY at pre-school! 6A www.wildwestcountry.com A www.wildwestcountry.com With its rich history dating back to the 1880s, Comanche County offers tourists a blend of the old and the new. Here tourists can see wheat, corn, and milo fields stretching across the plains, as well as some of the most rugged land in the Red Hills — reminding them of the Black Hills in the Dakotas. Also evident are cattle grazing on the plains and the hills, providing beef for consumption throughout the nation and the world. Designated as one of Kansas’ Scenic Highways, US 160 crosses the county, offering travelers a cross section of the types of land and scenic views available here. Comanche County also boasts a number of murals painted by world-renowned artist Stan Herd — who grew up in Protection — depicting the county’s history. Actually, the county’s history predates settlers in the area, with prehistoric Indian sites located in various places around the county. Some of the old Indian relics can be seen at the Comanche County Museum in Coldwater where those and “newer” items from the “Old West” are displayed. The three towns in Comanche County — Coldwater, Protection, and Wilmore — all offer visitors and residents alike a slower-paced life-style with friendly faces and hospitality not always seen in the larger cities across the nation. All three towns boast city fine parks for picnicking and outdoor relaxation. Coldwater and Protection both offer various recreational opportunities, including baseball diamonds, swimming pools, a bowling alley, a shooting range, two golf courses, and Lake Coldwater. The 250-acre lake in a 1,000-acre park offer swimming, boating, skiing, fishing, and camping for those who enjoy the out-of-doors, as well as a short jaunt for site seeing or hiking. Coldwater’s downtown Heritage Park is home to an impressive memorial to all the veterans for the county. Nearby is the historic Chief Theatre with its pr-1950s decor, playing the top movies of today every weekend. And for the outdoorsmen, some of the finest pheasant, quail, water fowl, and deer hunting in the nation can be found right here as well. Coldwater is the home of a modern, recently renovated hospital and medical clinic, offering criti- cal care for young and old. The local school district, with grade and middle school facilities in Protection and the high school in Coldwater, offers the youth a quality education, and excellent extracurricular and athletic opportunities. And both Coldwater and Protection have modern nursing home facilities to provide for the elder-care. All-in-all, Comanche County is a great place to live, as well as an exceptional place to spend time relaxing or exploring the rich history of the area. 8 www.wildwestcountry.com Clark County was organized in Clark County is part of the southernmost tier of counties in the southwest region of Kansas.

  • Another Traditional Architecture in Canada and the Usa: Exploring Some Unique Constructive Techniques
    The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, Volume XLIV-M-1-2020, 2020 HERITAGE2020 (3DPast | RISK-Terra) International Conference, 9–12 September 2020, Valencia, Spain ANOTHER TRADITIONAL ARCHITECTURE IN CANADA AND THE USA: EXPLORING SOME UNIQUE CONSTRUCTIVE TECHNIQUES V. La Spina 1, * 1 Departamento de Arquitectura y Tecnología de la Edificación, Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena - [email protected] Commission II - WG II/8 KEY WORDS: Stovewood Construction, Sod Houses, Cobblestone Structures, Vernacular architecture, Canada, USA ABSTRACT: Generally, in the traditional architecture of Canada and the United States, wood has been used as the main and almost exclusive material for the construction of the buildings of early settlers as it was abundant in the area. Thus, log cabins or wooden frame houses and cottages have become the chief representatives of traditional Canadian and North American architecture. However, wood was expensive or not always at hand in some parts of both countries, so that other materials such as earth, stone, and lime or gypsum were used by the new settlers to build the first constructions. Consequently, different constructive techniques associated with these materials are found in their traditional architecture, some even imported from Europe, with specific links to the individual places of origin of those who built the buildings. This paper aims to provide an initial overview and classification of the use of other materials and other constructive techniques which are also characteristic of a part of traditional architecture common to both Canada and the North of the United States: It also offers an exploration of different specific individual examples including stovewood constructions, sod houses (soddies), and cobblestone structures.

One homogenous, mass produced vernacular has dominated nationwide and overshadowed the unique, contextual, and regional designs of the past. While the contemporary, industrialized vernacular has led to increases in the quality of life for many in the developed world, it has also left in its wake a homogenous and placeless environment devoid of environmental sensitivity or cultural references. There is a need for a set of new vernaculars that embrace modern building technologies while simultaneously responding more directly to local climatic needs and facilitating a renewed sense of regional identity and culture.

  • Pawnee Tribe, Sioux and the Otoe-Missouri Tribe
    Plains Indians By Nicole Kotrous Chapter 1 Plains Indians By Nicole Kotrous Chapter 2 Introduction Years and years ago, buffalo and Indians roamed the plains of North America. It could be that those very buffalo and Indians roamed in your backyard! Imagine... it’s a hot summer night, you’re dashing through the seemingly endless prairie grass. Your bow and arrows bouncing against your back, sweat trickling down your forehead. Your cheeks are blotchy red from running. You look up and meet eyes with a brutal, ferocious animal. You draw your bow, and let the arrow go..swoosh! You have hit the animal. You drop to your knees and begin praying to your one and only God, Wakan Tanka. You thank him for once again feeding your family for another lengthy winter. Plains Indians In the years before European settlers came to the United States, Native American tribes lived all across the land. Several tribes lived in what we call the Plains, or the middle portion of the country. I am going to focus on five Plains Indian tribes. These include: the Ponca tribe, the Omaha tribe, the Pawnee tribe, Sioux and the Otoe-Missouri tribe. Some of these Native- American tribes were nomadic hunters. That means that they traveled all year round in search of plants, animals, food, and fresh water. They also traveled to visit and trade with other tribes. When they traded, they traded for stuff they didn’t have. For example they got horses, shells, beads, and stone that was soft enough to carve, and rock that could be chipped into weapon heads, or points.

Green Roofs for Historic Buildings: Case Study of the Bar BC Dude Ranch at Grand Teton National Park Abstract This thesis proposes to explore historic sod roofs as a precedent for green roof construction through the analysis of surviving examples at Bar BC Dude Ranch in Grand Teton National Park, WY in order to suggest new adaptations to historical usage. The ultimate goal will be to study the original and current roofing techniques to determine a method that will allow historical interpretation of the structures while improving roof and building maintenance and overall sustainability. This thesis will investigate the history of sod roofs, especially in relation to log building in the American West and the design of modern green roof construction as a means from which recommendations for the application of new sod roofs may be designed, tested, and applied.
