Single fold die-cut menu. 8" x 6"; opens to 8" x 12". Ca.1950. Two glue spots on rear cover, else fine condition. Scarce original menu from the legendary small chain of fried chicken restaurants, noted for their excellent food but mostly remembered today for their now infamous caricature logo which was also employed at the entrance to the restaurants...patrons entered and exited through the mouth of the grinning black mouth. The Seattle branch opened in 1929 and was both popular and controversial from the start. It closed in 1949, as did the one in Portland. The Salt Like City location lingered until 1957 and that was the end of the Coon Chicken Inn. There are many reprint and flat-out fake Coon Chicken Inn items being offered by unscrupulous and /or ignorant sellers, but original material has become rather uncommon. Despite the glue damage on the back cover, this is a very nice example of the real thing. $100.00 10. [Food - Menus] Shangri – la Motel Restaurant. Dodge City, Kansas. Glossy stock, single fold. 10" x 7.75". Ca. 1950. The image in our popular culture of Dodge City is one of the lawless days in the Old West, and a town where law and order was established at the hands of Wyatt Earp. But things had quieted down enough by the middle of the 20th century that the proprietors of this establishment were able to offer their version of a peaceful exotic oasis: "While it is impossible to reproduce the wonders of Shangri-La in its entirety, the management has endeavored to provide you with as much of the pleasant atmosphere as is possible..." The menu also offers this wise observation: "The best is never the cheapest...the cheapest is never the best." Note that on the front cover they also claim: "Primarily Recommended By Our Patrons"...no doubt a slap at Duncan Hines, who seemingly did not see fit to include them in his popular travel guide books! Prices are a little higher than one might have imagined for such an out-of-the-way location, with dinners running as high as $3.00. They also offered a rather ambitious list of sea foods, including lobster tails, perch, Rainbow Trout, eastern oysters, New England scallops, etc., "available only when market fresh." A couple of tape marks to the interior, else a fine copy of this attractive menu. $50.00 11. [Food - Menus - drink lists] Clover Leaf Club. Pueblo's Most Attractive Night Spot. Single fold. 10.25" x 6.5". CA. 1935 - 40. Stylish post-repeal drink list for this road house, which also featured "Special Table d'Hote Dinners." Fine condition. $60.00 12. Goldsmith, Oliver. The Miscellaneous Works of Oliver Goldsmith, M.B., to Which is Prefixed Some Accounts of His Life and Writings. London: Samuel Richards and Co., 1823. "New edition". Six 5.5" x 3.5" volumes. Each volume bound in full red straight grained morocco, with gilt rules and floral patterned borders, gilt spine lettering, raised bands, all edges gilt.

[WITH] Nouvel - Atlas, physique, politique et historique de l'empire Ottoman et des états limitrophes en Europe, en Asie et en Afrique. Paris: Bellizard, Barthes, Dufour et Lowell, 1835 - 1844. Eighteen 8.5" x 5.5" volumes, plus a folio atlas. The text volumes are bound in brown cloth with gilt spine lettering. With some scattered soiling to a few volumes, volume one lacking the front blank, and there is a very mild bit of internal soiling. Generally a nice VG+ condition set. One map has a closed margin tear, and the penultimate blank has a damaged spot along the bottom, about 3 square inches. The rare 21" x 14" atlas (dated 1844) is bound in quarter leather, top edge gilt. The binding (and especially the top corners) are a little rubbed and worn, but still a VG+ example of this scarce atlas. The atlas is complete, with two folding charts and forty engraved maps and plans. (The list of plates calls only for 39 maps, but a 40th map with the same Hellert imprint is also present.] Eight of the text volumes feature foldout genealogical charts at the backs.

  • Sports History in the British Library: Selected Titles
    SPORT & SOCIETY The Summer Olympics and Paralympics through the lens of social science www.bl.uk/sportandsociety Sports history in the British Library: selected titles Any analysis of sport, sporting events and sports governance must inevitably take into account the historical events which underpin them. For sports researchers, the British Library has an unrivalled collection of resources covering all aspects of the subject and in many different media, from books describing sporting events, to biographies and autobiographies of grass roots and elite athletes; coaching manuals; sport yearbooks and annual reports; directories of athletics clubs; sports periodicals; newspaper reports; and oral history interviews with sports people, including Olympians and Paralympians. These materials cover a long period of sporting activity both in Great Britain and elsewhere in the world. Some early materials As a glance at the earliest editions of the British Museum Library subject index show, the term ‘sport’ in the 18th century (and for much of the nineteenth) usually referred to blood sports. Nevertheless the existence of such headings as Rowing, Bowls, Cricket, Football, and Gymnastics in these early indexes point to a longstanding role for sport -as currently understood - in British social life. As was the case in ancient times, sports might originate as forms of preparation for war (from 1338, when the Hundred year’s war with France began, a series of English kings passed laws to make football illegal for fear that it would consume too much of the time set aside for archery practice); but they could also represent the natural human desire for friendly competition, so that alongside the jousting of the elite, games like bowling, stool ball and football could hold important places in the lives of ordinary people.

  • The Sami and the Inupiat Finding Common Grounds in a New World
    The Sami and the Inupiat Finding common grounds in a new world SVF­3903 Kristine Nyborg Master of Philosophy in Visual Cultural Studies Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Education Department of Archaeology and Social Anthropology University of Tromsø Spring 2010 2 Thank you To all my informants for helping me make this project happen and for taking me into your lives and sharing all your wonderful thoughts. I am extremely grateful you went on this journey with me. A special warm thanks to my main informant who took me in and guided the way. This would have been impossible without you, and your great spirits and laughter filled my thoughts as I was getting through this process. To supervisor, Bjørn Arntsen, for keeping me on track and being so supportive. And making a mean cup of latte. To National Park Service for helping me with housing. A special thanks to the Center for Sami Studies Strategy Fund for financial support. 3 Abstract This thesis is about the meeting of two indigenous cultures, the Sami and the Inupiat, on the Alaskan tundra more than a hundred years ago. The Sami were brought over by the U.S. government to train the Inupiat in reindeer herding. It is about their adjustment to each other and to the rapidly modernizing world they found themselves a part of, until the term indigenous became a part of everyday speech forty years ago. During this process they gained new identities while holding on to their indigenous ones, keeping a close tie to nature along the way.

  • Athletics Is an Exclusive Collection of Sporting Events That Involve Competitive Running, Jumping, Throwing, and Walking. the Mo
    Athletics is an exclusive collection of sporting events that involve competitive running, jumping, throwing, and walking. The most common types of athletics competitions are track and field, road running, cross country running, and race walking. The simplicity of the competitions, and the lack of a need for expensive equipment, makes athletics one of the most commonly competed sports in the world. Organised athletics are traced back to the Ancient Olympic Games from 776 BC, and most modern events are conducted by the member clubs of the International Association of Athletics Federations. The athletics meeting forms the backbone of the modern Summer Olympics, and other leading international meetings include theIAAF World Championships and World Indoor Championships, and athletes with aphysical disability compete at the Summer Paralympics and the IPC Athletics World Championships. Etymology The word athletics is derived from the Greek word "athlos" (0șȜȠȢ), meaning "contest" or "task." Initially, the term was used to describeathletic contests in general ± i.e. sporting competition based primarily on human physical feats. In the 19th century in Europe, the term athletics acquired a more narrow definition and came to describe sports involving competitive running, walking, jumping and throwing. This definition continues to be the most prominent one in the United Kingdom and most of the areas of the former British Empire. Furthermore, foreign words in many Germanic and Romance languages which are related to the term athletics also have a similar meaning. In contrast to this, in much of North America athletics is synonymous with athletic sports in general, maintaining a more historic usage of the term.

  • Alaska Reindeer Herdsmen
    ALASKA REINDEER HERDSMEN ALASKA REINDEER HERDSMEN A Study of Native Management in Transition by Dean Francis Olson Institute of Social, Economic and Government Research University of Alaska College, Alaska 99701 SEG Report No. 22 December 1969 Price: $5.00 Dean F. Olson, an associate of the Institute of Social, Economic and Government Research, is a member of the Faculty of Business, Uni­ versity of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He received his OBA from the University of Washington in 1968. iv PREFACE Reindeer husbandry is a peculiarly circumpolar endeavor. Of the three million domesticated reindeer estimated to exist in the northernmost nations of the world, just over 1 per cent are found in North America. The Soviet Union possesses about 80 per cent, and the Fennoscandian countries contain more than 18 per cent. There are about 30,000 in western Alaska, and the Canadian government estimates that some 2,700 range the Mackenzie River basin. Domesticated reindeer are not indigenous to North America. They were first introduced to this continent in 1892, when they were brought to western Alaska from various Siberian locations. The Canadian government purchased their parent stock from an Alaska producer in 1935. In each case, the objectives for importation were to broaden the resource base of the Native populations and to provide a means for social and economic de­ velopment in remote areas. The present study examines the role of Alaska reindeer as a Native resource. More specifically, it concerns the historical role of the Alaska Eskimo reindeer herdsmen, and examines their functions as managers of a re­ source and as instruments for social and economic change among their people.

  • Between Empires and Frontiers Alaska Native Sovereignty and U.S. Settler Imperialism
    Between Empires and Frontiers Alaska Native Sovereignty and U.S. Settler Imperialism A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Jessica Arnett IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Jean M. O’Brien, Barbara Welke March, 2018 Copyright Jessica Arnett 2018 Acknowledgements My time in academia, first as an undergraduate, then an adjunct instructor, and finally as a graduate student, has spanned nearly two decades and involved numerous cross-country relocations. I cannot begin to assess the number of debts that I have accrued during this time, as friends, family members, devoted advisors, and colleagues supported the winding trajectory of my academic life. I am grateful for my committee and the years of insight and support they have provided for me as I developed my research questions and attempted to answer them. I am deeply indebted to my advisors, Jean O’Brien and Barbara Welke, who have tirelessly dedicated themselves to my project and have supported me through my many achievements and disappointments, both academic and personal. Jeani is an amazing historian who throughout my six years in Minnesota has continuously asked critical questions about my project that have triggered new ways of understanding what I was perceiving in the documentary record and how I eventually came to understand Alaska. Her immediate support and tireless enthusiasm for my radically different framing of Alaska’s relationship to the contiguous states and what that meant for Alaska Native sovereignty struggles encouraged me to continue theorizing settler imperialism and to have confidence that my research was not only worthwhile, but path breaking and relevant.
