  • The American West; 1835-95 Key Topic 1: the Early Settlement of the West, C1835-95
    The American West; 1835-95 Key Topic 1: The early settlement of the West, c1835-95 Background: The early settlement of the West is marked by tensions between the native Indians and the white man. The reasons why the settlers migrated West meant the new U.S government had to design a strategy to manage the native population. You need to study how the government tried to manage this migra- tion, how the natives reacted and how lawlessness was tackled in the new settlements which were created by those migrating West. American West Module 1: The early settlement of the West In this module you will revise; 1. The Plains Indians; their beliefs and way of life (The beliefs, structure and life of tribes U.S expansion West and the Permanent Indian Frontier, including the Indian Appropriations Act) 2. Migration and early settlement (Factors which encouraged migration West, the process and problems of migration (Case studies: Donner Party and Mormon migration, development and problems of white settle- ment farming) 3. Conflict and tension (Reasons for tensions be- tween settlers and Plains Indians - including the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1581, lawlessness in early towns and settlements and how this was tackled (by government and local communities) KT 1.1: The Plains Indians; their beliefs and way of life Society structure The Native Americans lived on the Great Plains A.K.A the Great American Desert an area of land in the centre of the USA which spans over 1,300,000 km/sq (over 5 times the area of great Britain!) Only the largest tribes were called ‘Nations’, and they consisted of tribes, sub tribes and bands.

  • Revising the Western: Connecting Genre Rituals and American

Castleberry1 Abstract In this article, I analyze the TV show Sons of Anarchy (SOA) and how the cable drama revisits and revises the American Western film genre. I survey ideological contexts and tropes that span Western mythologies like landscape and mise-en- scene to struggles for family, community, and the continuation of Native American plight. I trace connections between the show’s fictitious town setting and how the narrative inverts traditional community archetypes to reinsert a new outlaw status quo. I inspect the role of border reversal, from open expansion in Westerns to the closed-door post-globalist world of SAMCRO. I quickdraw from a number of film theory scholars as I trick shoot their critiques of Western cinema against the updated target of SOA’s fictitious Charming, CA. I reckon that this revised update of outlaw culture, gunslinger violence, and the drama’s subsequent popularity communicates a post-9/11 trauma playing out on television. Through the sage wisdom of autoethnography, I recall personal memories as an ideological travelogue for navigating the rhetoric power this drama ignites. As with postwar movements of biker history that follow World War II and Vietnam, SOA races against Western form while staying distinctly faithful.

  • The US Army Air Forces in WWII
    DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE HEADQUARTERS UNITED STATES AIR FORCE Air Force Historical Studies Office 28 June 2011 Errata Sheet for the Air Force History and Museum Program publication: With Courage: the United States Army Air Forces in WWII, 1994, by Bernard C. Nalty, John F. Shiner, and George M. Watson. Page 215 Correct: Second Lieutenant Lloyd D. Hughes To: Second Lieutenant Lloyd H. Hughes Page 218 Correct Lieutenant Hughes To: Second Lieutenant Lloyd H. Hughes Page 357 Correct Hughes, Lloyd D., 215, 218 To: Hughes, Lloyd H., 215, 218 Foreword In the last decade of the twentieth century, the United States Air Force commemorates two significant benchmarks in its heritage. The first is the occasion for the publication of this book, a tribute to the men and women who served in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War 11. The four years between 1991 and 1995 mark the fiftieth anniversary cycle of events in which the nation raised and trained an air armada and com- mitted it to operations on a scale unknown to that time. With Courage: U.S.Army Air Forces in World War ZZ retells the story of sacrifice, valor, and achievements in air campaigns against tough, determined adversaries. It describes the development of a uniquely American doctrine for the application of air power against an opponent's key industries and centers of national life, a doctrine whose legacy today is the Global Reach - Global Power strategic planning framework of the modern U.S. Air Force. The narrative integrates aspects of strategic intelligence, logistics, technology, and leadership to offer a full yet concise account of the contributions of American air power to victory in that war.

  • Examining Mad Men's Hobo Narrative
    Journal of Working-Class Studies Volume 2 Issue 1, 2017 Forsberg The Cross-Country/Cross-Class Drives of Don Draper/Dick Whitman: Examining Mad Men’s Hobo Narrative Jennifer Hagen Forsberg, Clemson University Abstract This article examines how the critically acclaimed television show Mad Men (2007- 2015) sells romanticized working-class representations to middle-class audiences, including contemporary cable subscribers. The television drama’s lead protagonist, Don Draper, exhibits class performatively in his assumed identity as a Madison Avenue ad executive, which is in constant conflict with his hobo-driven born identity of Dick Whitman. To fully examine Draper/Whitman’s cross-class tensions, I draw on the American literary form of the hobo narrative, which issues agency to the hobo figure but overlooks the material conditions of homelessness. I argue that the hobo narrative becomes a predominant but overlooked aspect of Mad Men’s period presentation, specifically one that is used as a technique for self-making and self- marketing white masculinity in twenty-first century U.S. cultural productions. Keywords Cross-class tensions; television; working-class representations The critically acclaimed television drama Mad Men (2007-2015) ended its seventh and final season in May 2015. The series covered the cultural and historical period of March 1960 to November 1970, and followed advertising executive Don Draper and his colleagues on Madison Avenue in New York City. As a text that shows the political dynamism of the mid-century to a twenty-first century audience, Mad Men has wide-ranging interpretations across critical camps. For example, in ‘Selling Nostalgia: Mad Men, Postmodernism and Neoliberalism,’ Deborah Tudor suggests that the show offers commitments to individualism through a ‘neoliberal discourse of style’ which stages provocative constructions of reality (2012, p.

  • Homeless Campaigns, & Shelter Services in Boulder, Colorado
    Dreams of Mobility in the American West: Transients, Anti- Homeless Campaigns, & Shelter Services in Boulder, Colorado Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Andrew Lyness, M.A. Graduate Program in Comparative Studies The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Leo Coleman, Advisor Barry Shank Theresa Delgadillo Copyright by Andrew Lyness 2014 Abstract For people living homeless in America, even an unsheltered existence in the urban spaces most of us call “public” is becoming untenable. Thinly veiled anti-homelessness legislation is now standard urban policy across much of the United States. One clear marker of this new urbanism is that vulnerable and unsheltered people are increasingly being treated as moveable policy objects and pushed even further toward the margins of our communities. Whilst the political-economic roots of this trend are in waning localism and neoliberal polices that defined “clean up the streets” initiatives since the 1980s, the cultural roots of such governance in fact go back much further through complex historical representations of masculinity, work, race, and mobility that have continuously haunted discourses of American homelessness since the nineteenth century. A common perception in the United States is that to be homeless is to be inherently mobile. This reflects a cultural belief across the political spectrum that homeless people are attracted to places with lenient civic attitudes, good social services, or even nice weather. This is especially true in the American West where rich frontier myths link notions of homelessness with positively valued ideas of heroism, resilience, rugged masculinity, and wilderness survival.
