Hutton 2009 FEBRUARY stubborn stalker 2009 JUNE Enchanted land of the Navajo HistoryNet.com HistoryNet.com America’s Best-Selling Western History Magazine From the Editor Dear Advertiser, We at Wild West love the wild and woolly stuff—the shootouts, the saloon brawls, the cattle stam- pedes, the range wars, the cavalry-Indian fights, the gunfighters and lawmen, the mountain men and the grizzly bears. And naturally every issue of the magazine is loaded with action and danger. But we also celebrate the everyday men and women pioneers who carved out homesteads on the frontier, the struggles of Nez Perce Chief Joseph and other American Indians to maintain their home- lands and traditional ways, the explorers, the settlers, the entrepreneurs, the newspapermen and news- paperwomen, the grandeur of Wyoming’s Yellowstone and California’s Yosemite, Western artists and writers, the boomtowns and the ghost towns, the horses and the mules. In short, our magazine chronicles all aspects of the American frontier west of the Mississippi, mostly between the time Lewis and Clark boldly set out to the Pacific Ocean in 1803 until New Mexico and Arizona territories became states in 1912, but sometimes going back to earlier times (the Comanches began confronting the Spanish in the Southwest as early as Coronado’s expedition of 1540) to more recent times (the famous lawman Wyatt Earp didn’t die until 1929 in Los Angeles, when his pall-bearers included Western silent film stars Tom Mix and William S. Hart). Recently at Wild West we have covered the 150th anniversary of the Pony Express, the 175th anniversary of the Alamo and the 134th anniversary of the Battle of the Little Bighorn and spent quality time with the likes of Griz- zly Adams, Tiburcio Vásquez, Quanah Parker, Calamity Jane, Butch Cassidy, Rain in the Bodie, California Ghost Town Face, Frederick Benteen, Morgan Earp, Davy Crockett and Jack Slade. We cover the goings-on in such famous Old West hotspots as Gold Rush San Francisco, Dodge City, Kansas, Denver, Colorado, Tombstone, Arizona Territory, and Deadwood, Dakota Territory, but we don’t neglect such largely overlooked places as Tascosa, Texas (once more deadly than the aforementioned cities) Stoneville, Montana Territory (scene of a Valentine’s Day shootout) and Gallatin, Mo. (where Jesse James once robbed a bank and where a young lawyer in turn helped a farmer sue the famous outlaw). Anyone who loves Western frontier history turns first to Wild West Magazine and more often than not reads it cover to cover, including the advertisements.

A good many men who have written about her...have obviously fallen in love with her. Almost every woman who has written about her has become Sacajawea in her inner reverie (DeVoto, 195, p. 618; see also Waldo, 1978, p. xii). Anyway, what it all comes down to is this: the story of Sacagawea...can be told a lot of different ways (Allen, 1984, p. 4). Many millions of Native American women have lived and died...and yet, until quite recently, only two – Pocahantas and Sacagawea – have left even faint tracings of their personalities on history (McMurtry, 001, p. 155). PROLOGUE 1 THE CAMERA EYE (1) 2: Introduction: Voice 1: Narrator-as-Dramatist This essay3 is a co-performance text, a four-act play – with act one and four presented here – that builds on and extends the performance texts presented in Denzin (004, 005).4 “Sacagawea’s Nickname, or the Sacagawea Problem” enacts a critical cultural politics concerning Native American women and their presence in the Lewis and Clark Journals. It is another telling of how critical race theory and critical pedagogy meet popular history. The revisionist history at hand is the history of Sacagawea and the representation of Native American women in two cultural and symbolic landscapes: the expedition journals, and Montana’s most famous novel, A B Guthrie, Jr.’s mid-century novel (1947), Big Sky (Blew, 1988, p.

  • Calamity Jane
    Calamity Jane Calamity Jane was born on May 1, 1852 in Princeton, Missouri. Her real name was Martha Jane Cannary. By the time she was 12 years old, both of her parents had died. It was then her job to raise her 5 younger brothers and sisters. She moved the family from Missouri to Wyoming and did whatever she could to take care of her brothers and sisters. In 1876, Calamity Jane settled in Deadwood, South Dakota, the site of a new gold rush. It has been told that during this time she met Wild Bill Hickok, who was known for his shooting skills. Jane would later say that she married him in 1873. Many people think this was not true because if you look at the years, she said she married him 3 years before she really met him. When she was in Deadwood, Jane carried goods and machinery to camps outside of the town and worked other jobs too. She was known for being loud and annoying. She also did not act very lady like. However, she was known to be very generous and giving. Jane worked as a cook, a nurse, a miner and an ox-team driver, and became an excellent horseback rider who was great with a gun. She was a good shot and a fearless rider for a girl her age. By 1893, Calamity Jane was appearing in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show as a trick shooter and horse rider. She died on August 1, 1903, in Terry, South Dakota, at the age of 51.

  • Frederick Jackson Turner and Buffalo Bill Richard White
    Frederick Jackson Turner and Buffalo Bill Richard White Americans have never had much use for history, but we do like anniversaries. In 1893 Frederick Jackson Turner, who would become the most eminent historian of his generation, was in Chicago to deliver an academic paper at the historical congress convened in conjunction with the Columbian Exposition. The occasion for the exposition was a slightly belated celebration of the four hundredth anniversary of Columbus's arrival in the Western Hemisphere. The paper Turner presented was "The Significance of the Frontier in American History." 1 Although public anniversaries often have educational pretensions, they are primarily popular entertainments; it is the combination of the popular and the educational that makes the figurative meeting of Buffalo Bill and Turner at the Columbian Exposition so suggestive. Chicago celebrated its own progress from frontier beginnings. While Turner gave his academic talk on the frontier, Buffalo Bill played, twice a day, "every day, rain or shine," at "63rd St—Opposite the World's Fair," before a covered grandstand that could hold eighteen thousand people.2 Turner was an educator, an academic, but he had also achieved great popular success because of his mastery of popular frontier iconography. Buffalo Bill was a showman (though he never referred to his Wild West as a show) with educational pretensions. Characteristically, his program in 1893 bore the title Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World (Figure 1).3 In one of the numerous endorsements reproduced in the program, a well-known midwestern journalist, Brick Pomeroy, proclaimed the exhibition a ''Wild West Reality .
