Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 38 (Summer 2015): 80–107 80 Kansas History “Peerless Princess of the Southwest”: Boosterism and Regional Identity in Wichita, Kansas by Jay M. Price n 1887 the Wichita Board of Trade issued an elaborate map celebrating the city’s prominence as a regional trade and commercial center. Wichita appeared as a bustling powerhouse of activity in Kansas and the central United States. Exaggerated scale highlighted Wichita’s purported status as a hub of rail lines that extended to New Orleans, Galveston, El Paso, Los Angeles, Denver, Kansas City, Omaha, and Chicago. Equally striking were the slogans and titles that described the city as the “Peerless Princess of the Plains,” the “Magical Mascot,” the “Mecca of Men,” the I“Jerusalem of the West,” and the “Favored City.” In the upper corner was a blank space for a sponsoring organization. The Wichita Journal of Commerce, for example, did so, mentioning that it was in “the Great Southwest, Wichita, Its Metropolis.”1 A century later, equating Wichita with the Southwest would seem odd. By the 1980s, the term “southwestern” evoked images of howling coyotes, saguaros, Mexican food, and adobe architecture.2 Depending on the speaker, Wichita was a city of the Midwest, which extended from Kansas to the Great Lakes; the Great Plains, which ran from the Dakotas down to Texas; or an ill-defined “Heartland,” where fields and farms extended to the flat horizon, punctuated by massive grain elevators. Regardless of specific regional affiliation, however, one feature stood out: location.

Francis Grades: ECE - 1st Implementation Time: 2-3 weeks Published 2002 Denver Public Schools, Denver, Colorado The Alma Curriculum and Teacher Training Project Loyola A. Martinez, Project Director Denver Public Schools, Denver, Colorado ABOUT THE ALMA PROJECT The Alma Curriculum and Teacher Training Project The Alma Curriculum and Teacher Training Project was made possible with funding from a Goals 2000 Partnerships for Educating Colorado Students grant awarded to the Denver Public Schools in July 1996. The Project is currently being funded by the Denver Public Schools. The intent of the Project is to have teachers in the Denver Public Schools develop instructional units on the history, contributions, and issues pertinent to Latinos and Hispanics in the southwest United States. Other experts, volunteers, and community organizations have also been directly involved in the development of content in history, literature, science, art, and music, as well as in teacher training. The instructional units have been developed for Early Childhood Education (ECE) through Grade 12. As instructional units are developed and field-tested, feedback from teachers is extremely valuable for making any necessary modifications in the topic development of future units of study. Feedback obtained in the spring of 1999, from 48 teachers at 14 sites, was compiled, documented and provided vital information for the field testing report presented to the Board of Education.
