This year the Symposium Planning Committee chose the quote above by Benjamin Franklin to exemplify this mission. Benjamin Franklin, born January 17, 1706, was the tenth son of a soap maker. Franklin’s father’s aspiration was for him to become clergy man, but he could not afford his schooling. As a result of his family’s economic hardship, Franklin was pulled out of school at a young age. Although he was not a student, he continued his education through reading. Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, was also an inventor. We can thank him for bifocals, electricity, the lighting rod, and many other discoveries. He also helped draft the U.S Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. Not only was Franklin a political leader and inventor, but he also valued community engagement. He created a group called The Junto Club. This club consisted of community members who searched for ways to improve society; showing Franklin’s value on improving humanity. Contributions made by Franklin ensure that his legacy live on forever. He is remembered today by his image on the $100 bill, schools, libraries, and streets named after him, as well as through many other representations. Franklin’s hard work and dedication makes him a prominent historical figure whose values we continue to practice today. - 3 - Symposium Sponsors EWU Office of the Provost – Undergraduate Studies – Spokane Teachers Credit Union Graduate Studies – McNair Scholars Program – Grants & Research Development Special thanks to: President Rodolfo Arevalo – Provost Rex Fuller Vice Provost Charles Lopez – Dr. Jon Hammermeister Dean Jim Perez – Christopher Robbins University Graphics: Larry Conboy & Judy McMillan Multi-Media Commons: Carl Combs & Staff Records & Registration: Debbie Fockler Information Technology: Kristi Duenas, Eric Powell, Eric Rux & Staff Dining Services and Event Planning: Tom Shaffer & Staff Transportation Services: Darnell “Buster” Van Cara & Staff Marketing & Communications: Theresa Conway, Dave Meany & Staff Printing Services, Sound Production, Paint Shop Spokane Teachers Credit Union for their generous donation and continued support And to all the students, mentors, faculty and volunteers who have continually worked to make the symposium a success.

He formerly p-layed, and two of his sons gained eminenee in Kansas and Missouri Valley play, kirke mechem THE KANSAS HISTORICAL QUARTERLY Volume XVII November, 1949 Number 4 "Home on the Range" KIRKE MECHEM The night Franklin D. Roosevelt was first elected president a group of reporters sang "Home on the Range" on his doorstep in New York City. He asked them to repeat it, and made the statement, so it was said, that it was his favorite song. Later he often listened to the ballad at the White House, and it was reported that at Warm Springs he frequently led his guests in singing it. Stories of the President's approval soon made "Home on the Range" one of the country's hit songs. By 1934 it had moved to the top on the ra­ dio, where it stayed for six months. Everybody sang it, from Lawrence Tibbett to the smallest entertainer. Radio chains, motion picture com­ panies, phonograph record concerns and music publishers had a field day -all free of royalties, for there was no copyright and the author was un­ known. At its peak the song was literally sung around the world. Writing from Bucharest, William L. White, son of William Allen White of Kansas, said: They all know American songs, which is pleasant if you are tired of wars and little neutral capitals, and are just possibly homesick.

    CUMULATIVE INDEX· ARIZONA HIGHWAYS VOLUME 1, 1925 through VOLU~IE 27, 1951 ARTICLES appearing in ARIZONA HIGHWAYS from volume 1 in 1925 through volume 27 in 1951 are indexed here under author and subject. Indexing is similar to that found in READERS' GurnE TO PERIODICAL LITERATURE; each article is listed under the heading or headings most closely indicating the general subject matter. This is not a detailed analytical index to contents of articles. The user will find, for instance, those articles which deal with Katchinas, but not the names of various Katchinas discussed in the articles. Very general headings such as DESCRIPTION have been used only where more specific headings were not possible. A series of tall tales which appeared during early years of the magazine have been listed under that heading. Portraits have been indexed wherever there was a clear likeness. Group por­ traits have been incJuded when likenesses were clear and recognizable. There is a special index to color illustrations which have been an outstanding feature of ARIZONA HrGHWAYS for the past 10 years. Generally each picture has been listed under a single subject, the one which in the fallible judgment of the compiler, seemed most appropriate. It is hoped this will be of use to teachers and armchair travelers. ♦ COMPILED BY DONALD M.

A rich academic conversation exists exploring connections between the mythic power of the American frontier and nineteenth century constructions of hegemonic masculinity; this project adds to that conversation by considering the dynamic relationship between frontier narratives and boyhood. This is a cultural history, assessing prominent nineteenth century cultural forms, such as the dime novel and the Wild West show, through the vivid interplay of frontier mythos and boyhood. Through this interplay, these cultural forms brought together late nineteenth century notions of child development, history, and frontier mythology to tell powerful stories about America’s past and create hopeful visions of its future. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A number of people were indispensable to the completion of this project. I want to thank my friends and family for all of their support, especially my wife Lois, whose patience and encouragement during the writing process has been inestimable.

    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published bi-monthly by The State Historical Society of Colorado VOL. XI Denver, Colorado, March, 1934 No. 2 Catching Wild Horses HOMER HOYT* Having been asked by a representative of the Colorado State Historical Rociety to cl('serilJP the method of catching wild horses. f will endeavor to do so. As the wild horse is almost a thing of the past, soon there will be no one living competent to describe the process authoritatively. There are few men now living who have had a very wide experience in catching wild horses. Among them I will mention two whom I consider the very highest authority, Mr. Thomas A. Hightower, now living in California, and Mr. Wal­ ter Harris Brown. I do not know the whereabouts of Mr. Brown. At last report, in the late '90s, he was at Cripple Creek, Colorado, with a herd of burros to sell to the miners. I received my first tutelage from Mr. Jerry McGahan, com­ monly known throughout the United States as "Wild Horse" .Terry. He usually corralled his horses either at his home ranch five miles west of Pawnee Buttes, Weld County, Colorado, or at Indian Cave, twenty miles east of the Buttes. In the summer of 1886 Bob and Tom Hightower went to the Panhandle of 'l'exas, chased around all summer and caught noth­ ing, although they both were first class wild horse men. The reason for failure was shortage of saddle stock. In the spring of 1887 the brothers asked mr to join them as I had several saddle horses.

    Recollections of a '49er. A quaint and thrilling narrative of a trip across the plains, and life in the California gold fields during the stirring days following the discovery of gold in the far West. By Edward Washington McIlhany Recollections of a '49er. A Quaint and Thrilling Narrative of a Trip Across the Plains, and Life in the California Gold Fields During the Stirring Days following the Discovery of Gold in the Far West. BY EDWARD WASHINGTON McILHANY “ One of the Last of the Old Boys” 1908: HAILMAN PRINTING COMPANY, KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI. Copyright 1908 By EDWARD W. McILHANY EDWARD WASHINGTON MCILHANY PREFACE. Such a work as Edward McIlhany's is most valuable because it gives an insight into the life and struggles of the “Days of '49” that the ordinary history, embellished as it may be, must needs lack. In preparing Mr. McIlhany's “Recollections” for the press little has been changed from the original manuscript. To have interrupted the course of his narrative by interjecting anything that would tend to spoil the naturalness of the simple, quaint style would surely have been little less than a literary felony. F.H.E. Recollections of a '49er Recollections of a '49er. A quaint and thrilling narrative of a trip across the plains, and life in the California gold fields during the stirring days following the discovery of gold in the far West. By Edward Washington McIlhany http://www.loc.gov/resource/calbk.014 CHAPTER I. At the age of 20, the great discovery of gold in California fired my heart with ambition to see the wild, wild west, and as Horace Greely advised, “Go west young man, go west and grow up with the country.” One motive which caused this desire, was disappointment in my first love affair, and I wanted to get far, far away, and try to forget.

  • In the Flesh: Authenticity, Nationalism, and Performance on the American Frontier, 1860-1925
    IN THE FLESH: AUTHENTICITY, NATIONALISM, AND PERFORMANCE ON THE AMERICAN FRONTIER, 1860-1925 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jefferson D. Slagle, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Chadwick Allen, Adviser Professor Jared Gardner ________________________________ Professor Susan S. Williams Adviser English Graduate Program Copyright by Jefferson D. Slagle 2006 ABSTRACT Representations of the frontier through the early twentieth century have been subject to two sets of critical criteria: the conventional aesthetic expectations of the particular genres and forms in which westerns are produced, and the popular cultural demand for imitative “authenticity” or faithfulness to the “real west.” “In the Flesh” probes how literary history is bound up with the history of performance westerns that establish the criteria of “authenticity” that text westerns seek to fulfill. The dissertation demonstrates how the impulse to verify western authenticity is part of a post-Civil War American nationalism that locates the frontier as the paradigmatic American socio-topography. It argues westerns produced in a variety of media sought to distance themselves from their status as art forms subject to the critical standards of particular genres and to represent themselves as faithful transcriptions of popular frontier history. The primary signifier of historicity in all these forms is the technical ability to represent authentic bodies capable of performing that history. Postbellum westerns, in short, seek to show their audiences history embodied “in the flesh” of western performers. “In the Flesh” is therefore divided into two sections: the first analyzes performance westerns, including stage drama, Wild West, and film, that place bodies on display for the immediate appraisal of audiences.
