Western Ways Features Film Collection THE WESTERN WAYS FEATURE FILES COLLECTION MS 1056 DESCRIPTION This collection consists of several types of materials: "data" files; business correspondence; manuscripts of features stories; photographs, negatives and color transparencies; and many files of legal papers, court orders, and transcripts of legal hearings. The first category, "data" files, refers to the research materials collected for use in writing feature stories. These materials consist of ephemeral materials, such as booklets, pamphlets, maps, flyers and promotional materials, usually distributed for tourists by such agencies as Chambers of Commerce, local governments, businesses, or in some cases federal government agencies like the Department of the Interior, the National Park Service and the Bureau of Indian affairs. These ephemeral materials date from the late 1930's to the late 1960's. The second category of business correspondence consists mainly of letters to and from publishers; photographic agencies; advertising agencies; individual businesses; writers; photographers; and the Western Ways Features company. Although a small proportion of the material is personal correspondence, the great bulk of the letters are business-related. The dates of the letters range from the early 1930's until the late 1970's. There are large numbers of letters to and from Arizona Highways and its long-time editor, Raymond Carlson, over a period of three decades. An equally large number of letters are between Western Ways and the Camera Press agency in London, which represented western ways in Europe for over thirty years. Smaller collections of letters are with such Arizona personalities as Barry Goldwater, Roy Drachman, Ray Manley and many others. The third type of material are manuscripts of stories that the Western Ways Features company attempted to market, and were usually part of a package offered along with accompanying set of photographs. The manuscripts are almost always either typescripts or carbon copies, sometimes in many variant versions. Many pages of captions for the photographs are also present. In some cases, there are notebooks or other hand-written materials. These are in the nature of "field notes" written on trips to Mexico and various areas of the Southwest, and are a type of raw material for features stories. Still another type of manuscript to be found here are film scenarios from the various documentary films and shorts made by Charles Herbert, the president of Western Ways over a period of three decades. The fourth category represents photographic odds and ends that are not 1 included in the Western Ways Photographic Collection, which is still to be accessioned. They were placed in various files, usually accompanying a relevant story, and are listed in the catalog of this collection under the appropriate file name, and not cataloged or indexed separately. The final category of materials are many legal records relating to the Buena Vista Land fraud of the 1960's. Both Herbert and his wife Lucile were among the investors who failed to receive deeds for the land that they had purchased. The resulting series of legal actions continued from 1959 to 1976 as this group of investors attempted to "save the ranch". As an almost complete record of one of the many land frauds rampant in Arizona in this period, this material should provide a rich trove to future legal scholars and historians. PROCESSING This collection was processed and cataloged between August, 1993 and May, 1994 by Robert Lane under the supervision of the Acting Archivist, Rose Byrne. FINDING MATERIALS IN THIS COLLECTION All of the materials in the Western Ways Feature Files were organized under subject headings relating to the materials included in the various files. Each file name represents an actual paper file of material. In processing this collection, a catalog number was assigned to the file, to create a means to locating the file in the index. So, for example, when the name, "Candelario, John’’ is found in the index, it is followed by a series of three numbers: 1326, 1327, and 1674. These numbers are the file numbers in which materials related to Candelario may be found. If a researcher consults the catalog, he/she will that the materials consist of a number of letters, notebooks, and a film scenario. In this way, it is hoped that the future researcher will be able to access the desired materials without undo labor or an elaborate paper chase. HISTORICAL NOTE ON THE WESTERN WAYS FEATURES COMPANY The Western Ways Company was a loose association of photographers and writers that was formed to produce both written and pictorial coverage of events, places, and personalities for the purpose of creating feature stories for sale to publications, agencies, and to the private sector. Formed in Montana at the end of the 1930's, western ways continued until the late 1970's. The founder and president of Western Ways was Charles W. Herbert, who along with his wife Lucile Herbert, was to be the directing force of the company throughout all of its various manifestations. In the beginning of the company, it consisted of Herbert and a few younger 2 associates. World War II intervened, and when Western Ways was restarted in Tucson, it rapidly expanded to dozens of employees and became, besides a photo- production agency, an actual photographic plant, a photo-finishing operation, a portrait studio, as well as a base for Herbert's many projects in film and television. This period lasted from 1945 to 1953, when the photofinishing operation was sold and the number of employees was greatly reduced. The following year saw the departure of Ray Manley and Naurice Koonce, the two top photographers. After this year, Western Ways was, as Herbert wrote, "a one man operation" that continued to produce new coverages of people and places that interested him. But the great bulk of the business transacted was in materials that had been produced years before, and continued to be recycled to new clients and new markets.

  • Golden Ag E W Estern Comics Golden
    Golden Age Western Comics Western Golden Age he Wild West has been romanticized in American culture ever since the dime novels capturing the exploits of Jesse James were produced in the years directly Tfollowing the Civil War, and the Western genre continues to enthrall audiences to this day. The stories of frontiersmen, outlaws, cowboys, Indians, prospectors, and marksmen surviving the harshest of environments through wit, skill, and determination, or meeting their end by bullet, noose, or exposure speak to what it means to be American and play an essential part in how we define ourselves as a nation. These mythic stories have been captured and created in almost every popular mass medium of the past century and beyond from tabloids to novels, radio plays, television shows, and movies. Now, powerHouse Books is pleased to present a collection of these uniquely American stories as told through a uniquely American medium…the comic book! Golden Age Western Comics lovingly reproduces in full-color, restored, complete scans of over 40 of the best Western stories created between the years 1948 and 1956. These lavishly illustrated stories of guts and glory, violence and valor, intrigue, romance, and betrayal, on the range and in lawless frontier towns, were created by some of the best artists and writers of the era. The action flies off the page in stories such as “The Tragedy at Massacre Pass,” and “Breakout in Rondo Prison,” from the greatest earliest publishing houses, including: Fawcett, Charlton, Avon, Youthful, and more.

    CUMULATIVE INDEX· ARIZONA HIGHWAYS VOLUME 1, 1925 through VOLU~IE 27, 1951 ARTICLES appearing in ARIZONA HIGHWAYS from volume 1 in 1925 through volume 27 in 1951 are indexed here under author and subject. Indexing is similar to that found in READERS' GurnE TO PERIODICAL LITERATURE; each article is listed under the heading or headings most closely indicating the general subject matter. This is not a detailed analytical index to contents of articles. The user will find, for instance, those articles which deal with Katchinas, but not the names of various Katchinas discussed in the articles. Very general headings such as DESCRIPTION have been used only where more specific headings were not possible. A series of tall tales which appeared during early years of the magazine have been listed under that heading. Portraits have been indexed wherever there was a clear likeness. Group por­ traits have been incJuded when likenesses were clear and recognizable. There is a special index to color illustrations which have been an outstanding feature of ARIZONA HrGHWAYS for the past 10 years. Generally each picture has been listed under a single subject, the one which in the fallible judgment of the compiler, seemed most appropriate. It is hoped this will be of use to teachers and armchair travelers. ♦ COMPILED BY DONALD M.

  • Tom Mix Achieved an Authentic Taste of Cowboy Americana He Was Never ·Able to Capture Again
    BUDDINI WISTIRN STIR During his years, 1910-1917, at Selig-Polyscope, Tom Mix achieved an authentic taste of cowboy Americana he was never ·able to capture again. by Roberts. Birchard .Tom Mix's early years read very much like a Mark Twain odyssey, heavily salted with strains of Ho­ ratio Alger, Jr. Born January 6, 1880 at Mix Run, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, Tom was the son of Ed and Elizabeth Mix. His father had been a member of the famed 7th Cavalry, but throughout Tom's youth he was employed as stablemaster for Pennsylvania industrialist, J. E. Du Bois. Tom, of course, learned to ride almost be­ fore he could walk. At age eighteen, Tom left home. He would later say, with tongue in cheek no doubt, that he left because he couldn't stand the smell of the animals in his father's stable; but in reality, he had been indentured to Du Bois's foundry, and the prospects of factory life did not appeal to him. Tom Mix's military record has long been a matter of dispute, but it would seem that he did serve in Cuba du1r­ ing the Spanish-American War, and that he saw action in the Philippine Insurrection and was a member of the American Expeditionary Force sent to China in the• Boxer Rebellion. Wounded at the battle of Tien Tsin, he was shipped home and mustered out of the service: After his hitch in the Army, Tom drifted to the South­ west, where he found work as a bartender, a cowboy, a lawman in a series of nbn-permanent construction camps, and finally as a Wild West show performer, be­ coming the foreman of the famed Miller Brothers' 101 Ranch Show in 1906.

Carlson Chair of Examining Committee __________________ ________________________________________________ Date Giancarlo Lombardi Executive Officer Supervisory Committee: Paula J. Massood Marc Dolan THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK iii ABSTRACT Manifest Density: Decentering the Global Western Film by Michael D. Phillips Advisor: Jerry W. Carlson The Western is often seen as a uniquely American narrative form, one so deeply ingrained as to constitute a national myth. This perception persists despite its inherent shortcomings, among them its inapplicability to the many instances of filmmakers outside the United States appropriating the genre and thus undercutting this view of generic exceptionalism.
