  • Historiogtl Review
    Historiogtl Review The State Historical Society of Missouri COLUMBIA. MISSOURI The George Caleb Bingham portrait of Confederate jS General Joseph O. Shelby, an unlisted painting that had jg| been in the Shelby family for nearly three-quarters of a | century, is a recent gift to the State Historical Society of JS Missouri by General Shelby's grandson, J O Shelby Jersig, ffl Lt. Col. Ret., United States Marine Corps, Clovis, New gj Mexico. y A native Kentuckian, General Shelby is best remem- pi bered as a Missouri manufacturer, farmer and Confederate M cavalry general. Hailed by some authorities as the best cav­ alry general of the South, his Missouri forays were highlights of the Trans-Mississippi Army of the Confederacy. At the time of his death in 1897, General Shelby was United States Marshall for the western district of Missouri. m Shelby's portrait, along with fourteen other canvases, one miniature and drawings, engravings and lithographs by Bingham were prepared for display in the Art Gallery, at m the Society's Sesquicentennial Convention, October 3, 1970, and will remain on display until late summer, 1971. On exhibit in the Society's corridors are the tinted en- JU gravings of Karl Bodmer's illustrations, prepared in the field during 1833-34, for Prince Maximilians of Wied's Travels in j|j the Interior of North America, published in the 1840s.

  • Twain, Bingham and the American Narrative
    Twain, Bingham, and the American Narrative: Suggested Lesson Plan In preparation for your Museum visit: 1) Please have students reread Chapter 13 (pp.70-75) of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Review what happens on the raft trip to Jackson Island and take some time to have the students narrate the events in class. What might the Mississippi River symbolize? What could the storm represent? How do the children react to the storm? 2) In order to prepare for a visual analysis of George Caleb Bingham’s Daniel Boone Escorting Settlers through the Cumberland Gap*, make sure that students are familiar with the following terms: Cumberland Gap: a pass through the Cumberland Mountains region of the Appalachian Mountains at the juncture of the U.S. states of Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia. Famous in American history for its role as one key passageway through the lower central Appalachians, it was an important part of the Wilderness Road, which was originally a trail created and used by Native Americans. The Cumberland Gap was discovered in 1750 by Dr. Thomas Walker, a Virginia physician and explorer. The path was widened by a team of loggers led by Daniel Boone, making it accessible to pioneers, who used it to journey into the western frontiers of Kentucky and Tennessee. The pass is now part of the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. Manifest Destiny: The term was coined in 1845 by journalist John O’ Sullivan. It was the belief that white Anglo Saxon pioneers were destined to triumph over all other groups that claimed the land west of the Mississipi River, specifically the American Indian tribes that inhabited the land for centuries.
