  • American Heritage Day
    American Heritage Day DEAR PARENTS, Each year the elementary school students at Valley Christian Academy prepare a speech depicting the life of a great American man or woman. The speech is written in the first person and should include the character’s birth, death, and major accomplishments. Parents should feel free to help their children write these speeches. A good way to write the speech is to find a child’s biography and follow the story line as you construct the speech. This will make for a more interesting speech rather than a mere recitation of facts from the encyclopedia. Students will be awarded extra points for including spiritual application in their speeches. Please adhere to the following time limits. K-1 Speeches must be 1-3 minutes in length with a minimum of 175 words. 2-3 Speeches must be 2-5 minutes in length with a minimum of 350 words. 4-6 Speeches must be 3-10 minutes in length with a minimum of 525 words. Students will give their speeches in class. They should be sure to have their speeches memorized well enough so they do not need any prompts. Please be aware that students who need frequent prompting will receive a low grade. Also, any student with a speech that doesn’t meet the minimum requirement will receive a “D” or “F.” Students must portray a different character each year. One of the goals of this assignment is to help our children learn about different men and women who have made America great. Help your child choose characters from whom they can learn much.

  • Legend of Hugh Glass
    Legend of Hugh Glass The story of Hugh Glass ranks as one of the most remarkable stories of survival in American history. So much so, that Hugh Glass became a legend in his own time. Little is actually known about Glass. It was said that he was a former pirate who gave up his life at sea to travel to the West as a scout and fur trapper. Exactly when is unknown. He is believed to have been born in Philadelphia around 1783. He had already been in the Western wilderness for several years when he signed on for an expedition up the Missouri River in 1823 with the company of William Ashley and Andrew Henry. The expedition used long-boats similar to those used by Lewis and Clark 19 years earlier to ascend the Missouri as far as the Grand River near present-day Mobridge, SD. There Glass along with a small group of men led by Henry started overland toward Yellowstone. At a point about 12 miles south of Lemmon, SD, now marked by a small monument, Glass surprised a grizzly bear and her two cubs while scouting for the party. He was away from the rest of the group at the time and the grizzly attacked him before he could fire his rifle. Using only his knife and bare hands, Glass wrestled the full-grown bear to the ground and killed it, but in the process he was badly mauled and bitten. His companions, hearing his screams, arrived on the scene to see a bloody and badly maimed Glass barely alive and the bear lying on top of him.

[ Abstract.] It was probably in Pliocene times that the great lava-flow occurred in the region now known as the Yellowstone National Park, which covered hundreds of square miles of a large mountain valley with a vast sheet of rhyolite hundreds, perhaps in places, thousands of feet thick. It is certain that such streams and lakes as may have exis'ed there were wiped out of existence, and all terrestrial and aquatic life destroyed. It must have been many long years before this lava became sufficiently cooled to permit the formation of new streams ; but a time finally came when the rains, 31 falling upon the gradually cooling rock, were no longer converted into steam and thrown back into the air, only to condense and fall again, but being able to remain in liquid form upon the rock, sought lower levels, and thus new streams began to flow.

    9780806168630.TIF The first comprehensive biography of this legendary western figure in more than 50 years Jim Bridger Trailblazer of the American West By Jerry Enzler Even among iconic frontiersmen like John C. Frémont, Kit Carson, and Jedediah Smith, Jim Bridger stands out. A mountain man of the American West, straddling the fur trade era and the age of exploration, he lived the life legends are made of. His adventures are fit for remaking into the tall tales Bridger himself liked to tell. Here, in a biography that finally gives this outsize character his due, Jerry Enzler takes this frontiersman’s full measure for the first time—and tells a story that would do Jim Bridger proud. Born in 1804 and orphaned at thirteen, Bridger made his first western foray in 1822, traveling up the Missouri River with Mike Fink and a hundred enterprising young APRIL 2021 men to trap beaver. At twenty he “discovered” the Great Salt Lake. At twenty-one he $29.95 CLOTH 978-0-8061-6863-0 was the first to paddle the Bighorn River’s Bad Pass.

  • Dichotomy in American Western Mythology Thesis
    21A "A I DICHOTOMY IN AMERICAN WESTERN MYTHOLOGY THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE by Scott E. Robinson, B.F.A. Denton, Texas May, 1991 Robinson, Scott E. , Dichotomy in American Western Mythology. Master of Science (Interdisciplinary Studies), May, 1991, 129 pp., 19 illustrations, bibliography, 60 titles. The fundamental dichotomy between savage and civilized man is examined within the archetypal Western myth of American culture. The roots of the dichotomy are explored through images produced between 1888 and 1909 by artists Frederic Remington and Charles Russell. Four John Ford films are then used as a basis for the "dichotomous archetype" approach to understanding Western myth in film. Next, twenty-nine "historical" and "contemporary" Western movies are discussed chronologically, from The Virginian (1929) to Dances with Wolves (1990), in terms of the savage/civilized schema as it is personified by the roles of archetypal characters. The conclusion proposes a potential resolution of the savage/civilized conflict through an ecumenical mythology that recognizes a universal reverence for nature. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Larry Gleeson, professor of Art History, has served as an exemplary scholar and model lecturer. The breadth of Larry's academic expertise as well as his depth of human sensitivity made every step of this thesis project rewarding. John Smith, a member of the English faculty (and a former student of Walter Prescott Webb), is responsible for stimulating this student's interest in Western mythology during the early stages of this thesis project. Steven Fore from the Division of Radio, Television and Film provided invaluable guidance in the area of film criticism; his enthusiasm was a positive and gracious addition to the thesis committee during the final stages of the project.
