Hrizonhhighways September • 1950 Th I Rty-Five Cents Front and Back Covers- HRIZONHHIGHWAYS SEPTEMBER • 1950 TH I RTY-FIVE CENTS FRONT AND BACK COVERS-" SENTINEL OF THE PASS" BY MIKE ROBERTS. The picture was made from the top of Sitgreaves Pass looking toward Kingman, Arizona. The concrete ribbon wending its way through the Pass in a portion · of Highway 66, the Main Street of America. Incentive for taking the picture is twenty-five years old. "T wenty-{ive years ago," Mike says, "I rode a motorcycle, tied together with bailing wire, up the Pass. The trip from Kingman to the top (around 30 miles) consumed most of the day, as the ride across the desert had put the cycle on its last legs, and the narrow, dusty gravelled road was a far cry from the present hard surfaced highway. This being the first time I had traveled this road since I 'carried' the cycle up the Pass a quarter of a century ago, I couldn't resist stopping at the top and having a look. The view intrigued me (for nostalgic reasons perhaps) and the back light on the Challa Cactus fascinated me; so I went back to the car for the camera and made the picture." This is an early morning shot made in November, using 5" x 7" Daylight Ektachrome film and a 6" Carl Zeiss T essar lens, exposure 1/ 10 sec. at 16. The new highway from Kingman to the Colorado river will go south of this pass. SEPTEMBER Desert folks welcome September. Summer hasn't gone yet, you understand, but it won't be long now. About the end of August summer gets to be a bore. If you are familiar with the desert coun­ try you know what that means. The furnaces of the sun have been blazing full blast for three long months and even if you are the most confirmed worshipper of sun and desert you lool< forward to cooler days and cooler nights. Not that September isn't part of summer, mind you. It is. There are those who declare that September is the hottest month in the desert. You cannot deny, however, there are signs in September indicating that summer's hot monotony is waning. You feel a crispness in the morning and evening air that was not there before. The shadows grow longer as the days grow shorter, sure signs of a change in the season. Shadow language can be very eloquent, if you know how to interpret it. September's promise of autumn can be read in many ways in Nature's great outdoors. The birds proclaim it, if you are in the habit of watching birds. One morning there'll be feathered strangers in your backyard. migrant fellows traveling light and early to miss winter moving in up north. The flowers in your backyard will droop just a little bit, positive evidence that the busy growing energies of summer have been spent. There is a restlessness in the leaves talking to the light wind, the conver­ sation b eing different from the drowsy conversation of August. There are many ways that September in the desert will carry tidings of autumn's approach and departure of summer even if the sun is hot and the mercury high. September in the high country is another story. Surely, if one wanted ideal weather for travel here is the best month of all. The first frosts of autumn are September's frosts in the mountains and with these frosts comes the magic which touches the leaves, turning green to gold; which touch es the grass, leaving it brown and dried out; which touches the flowers, leaving only withered stalb and seed pods. All of the high country is b est in September. The North Rim of the Grand Canyon mixes green and gold with the purple reds of the canyon itself; and the roads leading to and through Zion, Cedar Breah and Bryce, in southern Utah, are tempting with their invitations to tarry awhile. Follow the back roads into the San Franciscos, n ear FlagstaH, or through the White Mountains and you'll see what a grand month S eptember can b e. The weather is neither hot nor cold, but just right. Y ou'Il find the world washed clean after summer's rains, clean and fresh and bright, fitting d epository for the gold of autumn the winds scatter about in October and November.-R. C. " COTTONWOOD COUNTRY" BY ART RILEY. Art Riley is one of the wage slaves for Mickey Mouse (address : Walt Disney Productions, Burbank, Calif.) When Art gets a day off from his interesting duties of animating some of our best-known and beloved characters, he wanders into Arizona and shoots pictures. This photograph is one of the things lw did late last autumn. "The photograph was taken in the Southern Arizona area, near Patagonia, late November. I was allracted to the shot because of the painting-like quality of the lacy trees and dead leaves backlighted. The subject reminded me of the work of the French painter, Corot. There was a wonderfully peaceful quality about the scene that I tried to get." In summer, after the rains, here one would {ind deep green, full of shade and repose, equally peaceful and beautiful. Such scenes are challenges to the plw­ tographer to return time and again to catch their changing personalities with seasons and weather. Scenes are always different!

  • COL. Theodore Roosevelt, the Rough Riders & Camp Wikoff
    Transcript of Lecture Delivered by Jeff Heatley on Friday September 18, 1998 COL. Theodore Roosevelt, The Rough Riders & Camp Wikoff On August 7th, 1898, the transport Miami, with Gen. Joseph Wheeler, Col. Theodore Roosevelt, the Rough Riders and members of the Third Cavalry on board, pulled away from the dock at Santiago, Cuba to begin its voyage north. Anxious that his men not miss the sights, Col. Roosevelt urged them to stay on deck. As the ship approached Morro Castle, the Third Cavalry band began to play John Howard Payne's "Home, Sweet Home". The American soldiers stationed at the castle cheered wildly as the homeward-bound troops passed by. The Gate City, the first transport to start north, had left Santiago two days earlier. Over the next five weeks, nearly forty ships would bring a total of 22,500 soldiers of Gen. Shafter's Fifth Army Corps from Santiago de Cuba to Montauk, where a 4,200-acre military encampment had been hastily prepared for their rest and recuperation. The 2,000-mile, eight-day journey would prove a further test for the heroes of the Spanish-American War. Many suffered the ill effects of tropical diseases like malaria, typhoid, dysentery and, in a few cases, yellow fever. The ships were over-crowded and lacked adequate supplies for healthy men, let alone fever-stricken ones. Both the Mobile and Allegheny transports were called "death ships" on arrival at Fort Pond Bay. Thirteen soldiers had died on board the Mobile and been buried at sea; fourteen on the Allegheny suffered the same fate.

  • Chatsworth PTA's Art Appreciation, Spring 2010 the Bronco Buster Frederic Remington (1861-1909)
    Chatsworth PTA’s Art Appreciation, Spring 2010 The Bronco Buster original cast 1895 Frederic Remington (1861-1909) “He is of course, one of the most typical American artists we have ever had, and he has portrayed a most characteristic and yet vanishing type of American life. The soldier, cowboy and rancher, the Indians, the horses and the cattle of the plains, will live in his pictures and bronzes, I verily believe for all time.” Theodore Roosevelt Three Things to Remember about Remington 1. During a career that spanned less than twenty-five years, Frederic Remington produced a huge body of work: illustration, painting, sculpture & writing - the vast majority of it centered on the Old American West. 2. Remington portrayed and brought to life the action and drama of the West, thereby defining the “Wild West” for the popular imagination. 3. Remington was a native of New York and produced most of his art in the East, thereby assisting in the creation of the romantic notion of the Old West that Easterners embraced and which persists today. 1 OVERVIEW OF REMINGTON’S LIFE AND WORK Early Years Although closely identified with the American West, Remington actually spent much of his life in the East. Frederic Remington , the only child of Seth Pierre Remington and Clara Bascomb Sackrider Remington, was born in Canton, New York on October 4, 1861. His boyhood in Northern New York fostered a lifelong love of horses and the outdoors. And his father's tales of action as a Cavalry officer in the Civil War inspired a passion for things military that found a Western focus with the battle of the Little Bighorn during the nation's Centennial Year, 1876.

The following committee members have found the thesis acceptable in form and content, and that the candidate demonstrated satisfactory knowledge of the subject material. External Examiner: *Dr. Mark C. Anderson, Carleton University Supervisor: *Dr. Francesco Freddolini, Department of Visual Arts Committee Member: *Dr. Christine Ramsay, Department of Film Committee Member: *Dr. Megan Smith, Department of Visual Arts Chair of Defense: *Dr. Troni Grande, Department of English *via ZOOM Conferencing ABSTRACT This thesis examines the market growth of Western American bronze sculpture over the course of 124 years (1895-2019), from Frederic Remington’s Bronco Buster until now. The genre of Western American art is a highly marginalized genre that has received limited study, and the market analysis even less so. The research for this thesis was primarily conducted through the use of digital methodologies falling under the realm of the digital humanities and, in particular, digital art history.

Dashing for America: Frederic Remington, National Myths, and Art Historical Narratives Margaretta M. Lovell, Jay D. McEvoy Jr. Professor of American Art, University of California, Berkeley. A Dash for the Timber, one of Frederic Remington's (1861–1909) largest and most characteristic works, was acquired by the collector, Amon Carter, in 1945, and hangs today in the museum bearing his name in Fort Worth, Texas (fig. 1).1 At four feet by seven feet it has an unusual immediacy and dramatic presence. Museum visitors often come in pairs and enjoy giving each other little gifts of observation and insight. A well-dressed woman was overheard recently to observe to her companion as they paused to take it in: “Look at the horses. Great horses. That’s the sign of a great artist. One of them has been shot. I love this one.” Despite the non-sequiturs and ambiguous modifiers, this was an astute as well as enthusiastic comment about a work whose object biography illuminates central concerns and disputes in American culture from the 1880s to the present. A Dash for the Timber (painted in 1889) was successively commissioned by a wealthy capitalist, publically admired, sold to a consortium of businessmen, given to a university, deaccessioned, acquired by a prominent collector and given pride of place in his public museum.
