This scenic train ride starts in Horseshoe Bend and follows the Payette river to the small town of Banks, Idaho. Stu- dents were able to choose between air conditioned enclosed cars and open cars. The theme for the trip was Miner’s Express. The guided adventure taught riders about the area’s mining history and pointed out sights along the way. A train ride centered around mining is fitting, as Idaho is known as the Gem State. Almost every mineral ex- cept for oil, gas and coal can be found in Idaho. The discovery of gold led to the establishment of Idaho as a territory in 1863; today, silver reigns as almost 45% of all silver mined in the US comes from Idaho.

  • Introduction
    NOTES INTRODUCTION 1. For a good overview of the early publishing history of Westerns, see Daryl Jones's first chapter in The Dime Novel Western (Bowling Green, OH: Bowling Green State University Popular Press, 1978). The market for inexpensive, cowboy-adventure tales like the Buck Taylor Series, or the Young Roughriders Series, grew dramatically in the decades following the Civil War. Companies like the House of Beadle and Adams, the leader in the market, or its successful competitor Street and Smith, prospered by churning out hundreds of five-cent weeklies, yellow backs, Ten Cent Novels, and penny pamphlets every year. Pulp (low-quality paper) was cheap, and the recently invented steam-rotary press reduced production costs significantly. And the sales figures are impressive: A first printing of sixty to seventy thousand often went through ten or twelve editions in a single year, eventually selling more than six hundred thousand copies and being translated into half a dozen languages (Jones 5). There were probably more readers than the sales figures suggest, since the inexpensive paperbacks were frequently passed from hand to hand until they were literally read to pieces. 2. See Ben Merchant Vorpahl's My Dear Wister: The Frederic Remington­ Own Wister Letters (Palo Alto: Stanford University Press, 1972), p. 303. 3. "Frontier" is a widely contested term. Traditionally when applied in Colonial and Early American contexts, "frontier" means the region outside settlements along the Atlantic territories of North America. In the nineteenth century, Anglo-Americans use the term "frontier" to mean an amorphous line extending from the banks of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers westward.

  • The Comic-Book Industry Jeffery Kahan
    The Comic-Book Industry Versus the United States Government Jeffery Kahan “It is not in the still calm of life or the repose of a pacific station that great characters are formed.” — Abigail Adams. “With great power comes great responsibility”— Stan Lee.i If the paragone is dedicated to exploring the competitive factors that affect artistic creation, then there must always be winners and losers. On that score, we can be clear. Until recently, comic books were considered to be the lowest of the literary low, and their readers addicted to a “shameless love of trash.”ii Indeed, in the “Golden Age” and “Silver Age” of comic books, the industry was often defined (and not without reason) as a form of pornography.iii Particularly after World War II, political forces exerted their own forms of compliance on the industry. The influence radically shifted the sexual nature of comic book story and image; at the same time, the very fear of a McCarthy-like blacklist forced artists to create new forms of collective creation wherein everyone and no one was the “author” or “creator” of a character or work. Comic Books, Pin-ups and the Second World War The earliest American comics were merely anthologies of strips printed in the newspapers. The modern superhero comic book, as we know it today, was very much a product of war propagan- da. Superman, Captain America, and Wonder Woman were all introduced in World War II and all of the aforementioned fought the Nazis. While seen today as a child-friendly medium, war-era comics, as detailed in a Life magazine retrospective called Life with the Comics: In Praise of a Classic American Art Form, were extremely popular with soldiers (Fig.
