  • 36 Kansas History DRUNK DRIVING OR DRY RUN?
    A Christmas Carol, which appears in Done in the Open: Drawings by Frederick Remington (1902), offers a stereotypical image of the ubiquitous western saloon like those frequented by cowboys at the end of the long drive. Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 30 (Spring 2007): 36–51 36 Kansas History DRUNK DRIVING OR DRY RUN? Cowboys and Alcohol on the Cattle Trail by Raymond B. Wrabley Jr. he cattle drive is a central fi xture in the popular mythology of the American West. It has been immortalized—and romanticized—in the fi lms, songs, and literature of our popular culture. It embodies some of the enduring elements of the western story—hard (and dan- gerous) work and play; independence; rugged individualism; cour- Tage; confl ict; loyalty; adversity; cowboys; Indians; horse thieves; cattle rustlers; frontier justice; and the vastness, beauty, and unpredictable bounty and harsh- ness of nature. The trail hand, or cowboy, stands at the interstices of myth and history and has been the subject of immense interest for cultural mythmakers and scholars alike. The cowboy of popular culture is many characters—the loner and the loyal friend; the wide-eyed young boy and the wise, experienced boss; the gentleman and the lout. He is especially the life of the cowtown—the drinker, fi ghter, gambler, and womanizer. Raymond B. Wrabley Jr. received his Ph.D. from Arizona State University and is associate professor of political science at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, Pennsylvania. The author would like to thank Sara Herr of Pitt-Johnstown’s Owen Library for her efforts in tracking down hard-to-fi nd sources and Richard Slatta for his helpful comments on a draft of the article.

    Geo-reis: Canada/USA 2014 Geo-reizen: Canada/USA augustus/september 2014. De onderstaande informatie is afkomstig van: www.georeizen.nl Een reis door het hooggebergte, de gletsjers van nu en glaciale verschijnselen uit de laatste ijstijd. Maar ook dinosauriers, Burgess Shales en spuitende geysirs. Sinds de stabilisering van het Canadese schild was het westelijk gedeelte van Noord Amerika het toneel van voortdurende gebergtevorming. Als gevolg van de platentektoniek botste het miljarden jaren oude schild tegen de jongere sedimenten ten westen daarvan. Dit zorgde voor een gevarieerd landschap: golvende prairies en een ruig gebergte ten westen daarvan. Overweldigend natuurschoon; de aanwezigheid van vele nationale parken, zowel in de VS als in Canada, zegt genoeg. We bezoeken onder andere: Yellowstone, Glacier/Waterton en Banff/Jasper met de Icefields Parkway. De excursie voert van Jasper in de Canadese Rockies naar Billings bij het Yellowstone Park in de Verenigde Staten. Geologisch zeer interessant met als hoogtepunten: •De “hot spot” Yellowstone in Wyoming met zijn geysers en sinterterrassen en andere geologische hoogtepunten •Banff-Jasper National Park op de grens van Alberta en Brits Columbia met de Columbia Icefields •De Front Ranges met hun talloze overschuivingen en enorme opeenstapeling van sedimenten •De Burgess Shale fauna uit het Cambrium. We gaan hier echter niet naar de oorspronkelijke Wallcott quarry waar weinig meer te vinden is en het strikt verboden is zelf te exploreren, maar we bestuderen voorkomens verder naar het zuiden waar we zelf nog wel mogen zoeken •Een uitstapje naar de badlands van Alberta en de dinosaurussen van het Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller •Het Waterton/Glacier National Park op de grens tussen Montana, Alberta en Brits Columbia •Adembenemende bergwandelingen door 2 miljard jaar gesteentegeschiedenis in de omgeving van Bozeman, Montana.

Hotten 2011 All Rights Reserved THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by ALISON L. HOTTEN entitled Cultural Landscape Development And Tourism In Historic Mining Towns Of The Western United States be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Gary J. Hausladen, Ph.D., Advisor Paul F. Starrs, Ph.D., Committee Member Alicia Barber, Ph.D., Graduate School Representative Marsha H. Read, Ph. D., Associate Dean, Graduate School May, 2011 i Abstract This thesis examines the development of the cultural landscape of western mining towns following the transition from an economy based on mining to one based on tourism. The primary case studies are Bodie, California, Virginia City, Nevada, and Cripple Creek, Colorado. Each one is an example of highly successful tourism that has developed in a historic mining town, as well as illustrating changes in the cultural landscape related to this tourism. The main themes that these three case studies represent, respectively, are the ghost town, the standard western tourist attraction, and the gambling mecca. The development of the landscape for tourism is not just commercial, but relates to the preservation of history and authenticity in the landscape; each town was designated as a Historic District in 1961.
