Souhlasím s uložením mé práce na Masarykově univerzitě v Brně v knihovně pedagogické fakulty i s jejím zpřístupněním ke studijním účelům. Brno, 11. listopadu 2018 Filip Hanzlík Declaration: I declare that I have created my thesis independetly and that the only sources I have used are those listed. I agree with the deposition of my thesis at Masaryk University, Brno, at the library of Faculty of Education and with making it acessible for study purposes. Brno, 11th November 2018 Filip Hanzlík 2 Aknowledgments I would like to thank my supervisor Mr. Zdeněk Janík for his patient, kind and important advice as well as his guidance that was provided while working on my thesis. 3 Abstract The goal of this master's thesis is to examine whether the portrayal of selected archetypical roles that appear in western movies is faithful to their historical source. The thesis is divided into two parts with the first one selecting the archetypes and further comparing them to their historically accurate versions, the selected archetypes are the cowboy, the outlaw, the native american. the lawman and the prostitute. The second part then deals with a case study of Jesse James, a notorious outlaw of the Old West with three selected sources being analysed for their portrayal of the character as well as the moments of demise of this outlaw.

  • ANDREW JACKSON SMITH, PENNSYLVANIAN EXTRAORDINARY Recollections of a Century, 1832-1928 David Lindsey
    ANDREW JACKSON SMITH, PENNSYLVANIAN EXTRAORDINARY Recollections of a Century, 1832-1928 David Lindsey Pennsylvania, was a busy town in the summer Washington,of 1832. The steady flow of traffic on the National Pike, T T running east to Cumberland and Baltimore and west to Wheeling and Columbus, funneled through town a heavier than usual stream of pigs, sheep, horses, cows, horse-riding travelers and plain pedestrians, freight-hauling Conestoga wagons and passenger-jost- ling stagecoaches. Work was rushing for local blacksmiths in "little" Washington. Nearby, a Welsh Quaker blacksmith took time out to welcome the arrival—of a new son on June 21. Andrew Jackson Smith they called him naturally, since President Jackson was the father's idol, and naturally, too, since the mother's uncle was Colonel Richard M. Johnson of Kentucky, self-asserted killer of Indian chieftain Tecumseh during the War of 1812, and destined in 1836 to be vice- presidential running-mate of Jackson's hand-picked successor, Martin Van Buren. The Smith boy attended the local Quaker school for a time. But his most practical schooling came in his father's blacksmith shop where he spent much of his time. Here, he recalled many years later, "Ihelped my father . .. when Iwas so small Ihad to use a box to stand on to blow the bellows and strike for him." At the age of fifteen the boy was apprenticed to William Wiley, also a blacksmith. Chafed by the restraints of apprenticeship, young Andrew Jackson Smith stayed with Wiley for but one year "when my father came to collect my wages.

  • Jesse James Pony Express City Manager's Office of All the Worlds
    Jesse James http://www.ci.st•joseph.mo.us/jesjames.html Pony Express City Manager's Office Of all the worlds' legendary characters, few have attracted world• wide fascination like the outlaw, Jesse James. Some call him America's Robin Hood, while others see him as a cold•blooded killer. Perhaps he was all of these things. Jesse Woodson James was born in Kearney, Missouri on September 5, 1847. His father, the Rev. Robert James, was a Baptist minister who helped found William Jewell College in Liberty, Mo. Some people say it was the cruel treatment from Union soldiers that turned Frank and Jesse to a life of crime during the Civil War. Certainly during the war years they learned to kill while riding with William Quantrill and Bloody Bill Anderson. After the war, Jesse was wounded while surrendering. Within a year, Frank and Jesse are believed to have pulled off the first daylight bank robbery in peace time. They made off with $60,000 from the Liberty, Mo. bank not far from their home, and one man was killed. For the next 15 years, the James boys roamed throughout the U.S. robbing trains and banks of their gold, building a legend that was to live more than a century after Jesse's death. Jesse married his own first cousin after a nine• year courtship. She was named for his own mother, Zerelda, and he called her Zee for short. They had two children, Jesse Edwards and Mary. Pictured the family home of Jesse James. The Pinkerton Detective Agency was called in to help catch the famous desperadoes.

Jesse and his brother Frank fought for the south in the American Civil War (1861 to 1865). They were part of a group known as Quantrill’s Raiders. They killed many people during the war. After the war, Jesse and Frank returned to Missouri. In 1866, they and the Younger brothers started robbing banks and trains. They did this for about 15 years in Missouri, Kentucky, and the Midwest. They often killed people during these robberies. When they weren’t robbing and killing, they were hiding from the law. They became legends in the American West and beyond. The gang’s last attempted robbery was their most famous. On September 7, 1876, they tried to rob the First National Bank in Northfield, Minnesota. The bank clerk would not open the safe for them, and they murdered him. When they tried to escape, some of the townspeople shot at them. Two of the gang members were killed. The Younger brothers got away but were captured soon after.
