More than 10,000 prehistoric sites are recorded for the state, and they are estimated to represent about 10 percent of the actual number, according to archaeologist Don G. Wyckoff. Some of these sites pertain to the lives of Oklahoma’s original settlers—the Wichita and Caddo, and perhaps such relative latecomers as the Kiowa Apache, Osage, Kiowa, and Comanche.

  • Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema
    PERFORMING ARTS • FILM HISTORICAL DICTIONARY OF Historical Dictionaries of Literature and the Arts, No. 26 VARNER When early filmgoers watched The Great Train Robbery in 1903, many shrieked in terror at the very last clip, when one of the outlaws turned toward the camera and seemingly fired a gun directly at the audience. The puff of WESTERNS smoke was sudden and hand-colored, and it looked real. Today we can look back at that primitive movie and see all the elements of what would evolve HISTORICAL into the Western genre. Perhaps the Western’s early origins—The Great Train DICTIONARY OF Robbery was the first narrative, commercial movie—or its formulaic yet enter- WESTERNS in Cinema taining structure has made the genre so popular. And with the recent success of films like 3:10 to Yuma and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, the Western appears to be in no danger of disappearing. The story of the Western is told in this Historical Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema through a chronology, a bibliography, an introductory essay, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on cinematographers; com- posers; producers; films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Dances with Wolves, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, High Noon, The Magnificent Seven, The Searchers, Tombstone, and Unforgiven; actors such as Gene Autry, in Cinema Cinema Kirk Douglas, Clint Eastwood, Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, and John Wayne; and directors like John Ford and Sergio Leone. PAUL VARNER is professor of English at Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas.

  • Oklahoma and American Indian Imagery
    OKLAHOMA AND AMERICAN INDIAN IMAGERY By [Copyright 2011] William Brett Anderson Submitted to the Department of Geography and the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ______________________________ Chairperson James Shortridge ______________________________ Terry Slocum ______________________________ William Johnson ______________________________ Jay Johnson ______________________________ Rita Napier Date Defended: November 30, 2011 The Dissertation Committee for William Brett Anderson certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: OKLAHOMA AND AMERICAN INDIAN IMAGERY ______________________________ Chairperson James Shortridge Date approved: _________________ ii Oklahoma and American Indian Imagery Abstract William Brett Anderson Department of Geography, 2011 University of Kansas In the late 1980s and early 1990s marketing firms conducted an in-depth examination of the general public‟s image of Oklahoma as part of their efforts to make the state a profitable tourist destination. This study found that people lack a clear impression of Oklahoma, that many have a negative perception of the state, and that American Indians are the most positive characteristic of thinking about Oklahoma. Seeking to understand these results, this dissertation explores the historical development of images associated with Oklahoma and those of American Indians in the state. Perceptions recorded in articles, stories, and editorials drawn from national magazines provide my basic data. I supplement them with ideas from novels and movies. The presentation, grounded in the appropriate scholarly literature, is both chronological and thematic. Each chapter focuses on impressions and attitudes about Oklahoma or American Indians in the state in different periods. My extended study confirms the findings of the imagery surveys conducted in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

  • Way Back the West: 1898-1938
    DVD BONUS The American Western has been in an elegiac mood for so long that it comes as something of a shock to encounter the budding range of the films collected on The West: 1898-1938, the fifth installment of the National Film Preservation Foundation's Treasures DVD series. The dates are somewhat WAY BACK misleading since nothing is included from the embryonic years of 1899-1909 (the sole film from 1898, Sunset Limited, Southern Paciflc Railroad, is a beautiful Kinetoscope short) and the years after 1926 are represented only with spon- sored films and travelogues. I initially assumed the set was fenced off at 1938 in deference to Stagecoach (1939), but series curator Scott Simmon isn't interested in sketching a teleological development towards Ford's reinvention of the cavalry movie. Aside from Bronco Billy and the Schoolmistress WEST (1912) and Legal Advice (1916), a couple of faint one-reelers featuring early cowboy stars Gilbert M. Anderson and Tom Mix, hardly anything here rates as a "typical" Western (for an early feature that goes right to the dark heart of the THE WEST: genre, see 1916's Hell's Hinges on the first Treasures set). At 1898-1938 BY MAX GOLDBERG times Simmon seems willing to entertain deviation for its adventure confirmed by the instrument of reproduction as own sake, but for the most part his sequencing intelligently much as the voice of experience. The film draws upon cowboy- realizes the shifting contexts of Western motifs in early movie convention to naturalize Buck's version of events at the American cinema.
