Wagon Tracks (SFTA Newsletter) 30-Year Alphabetical Index Frank Norris, NPS, August 2016 Note to the prospective user: The following is a compilation of selected articles from Wagon Tracks, which is the quarterly publication of the Santa Fe Trail Association (which was called the Santa Fe Council during its first year of operation). The first 25 years of this newsletter were edited by Leo E. Oliva. Dr. Oliva, from Woodston, Kansas, was responsible for not only editing this newsletter but for encouraging the placement of material into the newsletter. He and his wife Bonita made numerous research trips – to visit either people or institutions – that have resulted in trail-related articles, diaries, reminiscences, etc. During this 25-year period, he wrote a large number of the book reviews that have appeared in Wagon Tracks. In addition, he also wrote a number of historical articles in the newsletter, plus prefatory comments for numerous additional contributions. More than any single individual, he was responsible for the growth and success of Wagon Tracks, both as a way for SFTA members to keep up with organizational changes and as a periodical dedicated to the preservation and dissemination of Santa Fe Trail-related history. Since 2011, this periodically has been admirably edited by Leo’s successor, Ruth Friesen of Albuquerque, New Mexico. This compilation will not please everybody. Its primary focus is the indexing of historical information about the trail. Therefore, it lists all research articles that detail the trail’s history (including diaries and trail reminiscences), and it also records information (often from the “Council Trove” section of the newsletter) from contemporary newspaper articles describing life and incidents along the trail. It similarly records (often in the “Converse of the Prairie” section) the various reviews of books, articles, and symposium proceedings about the trail. It does not generally show articles and news items detailing the association itself (about SFTA officers, elections, chapter activities, upcoming symposia, recent trail-marking efforts, etc.), nor does it list poetry or educational/teaching material. It does, however, list articles showing the role of Congress in establishing the trail and the subsequent role of the National Park Service (with the comprehensive management plan, Challenge Cost Share Program activities, the advisory council, etc.). It also records articles that pertain to marker compilations (primarily DAR markers), and the discovery or recording of a more accurate trail route or new trail ruts, plus items pertaining to other nationally-significant trails (Smoky Hill, El Camino Real, Coronado, etc.), as well as articles about youth activities. Most news articles describing trail museums and visits/tours to historical sites are not included, but such articles are included if they are fairly comprehensive (as in the compendium of 28 museums/historical sites noted in volumes 1-8) or if such articles contain detailed trail history. Abbreviations and Acronyms: these have been used for the sake of brevity and include the following: * states are often referred to by their two-letter abbreviations: KS for Kansas, MO for Missouri, etc. * shorthand terms are used as follows: annot=annotation, appx=approximate, archeo=archeology, art=article, cmte=committee, estab’d=established, facs=facsimile, hist=history, newsp=newspaper, prof=professor, re:=regarding, etc. * NPS = National Park Service * NRHP = National Register of Historic Places * PNTS = Partnership for the National Trails System * SFT = Santa Fe Trail * SFTC = Santa Fe Trail Center, Larned, KS * SFNHT = Santa Fe National Historic Trail * a combination letter and number refers to articles that are part of a larger series. Specifically, M1, M2, etc. refers to various articles in a 16-part series (in vols. 1-8) about merchants on the trail, and MHS1, MHS2, etc. refers to a 28-part series (also in vols. 1-8) about museums and historical societies on the trail. These series are shown, separately, at the bottom of this file. * the slash (/) refers to other Wagon Tracks issues: 4/3, 17, for example, refers to volume 4, issue 3, page 17. Each volume contains four issues: November, February, May, and August. The years of the various Wagon Tracks volumes are as follows: Vol. 1 = 1986-87 Vol. 7 = 1992-93 Vol. 13 = 1998-99 Vol. 19 = 2004-05 Vol. 25 = 2010-11 Vol. 2 = 1987-88 Vol. 8 = 1993-94 Vol. 14 = 1999-2000 Vol. 20 = 2005-06 Vol. 26 = 2011-12 Vol. 3 = 1988-89 Vol. 9 = 1994-95 Vol. 15 = 2000-01 Vol. 21 = 2006-07 Vol. 27 = 2012-13 Vol. 4 = 1989-90 Vol. 10 = 1995-96 Vol. 16 = 2001-02 Vol. 22 = 2007-08 Vol. 28 = 2013-14 Vol. 5 = 1990-91 Vol. 11 = 1996-97 Vol. 17 = 2002-03 Vol. 23 = 2008-09 Vol. 29 = 2014-15 Vol. 6 = 1991-92 Vol. 12 = 1997-98 Vol. 18 = 2003-04 Vol. 24 = 2009-10 Vol. 30 = 2015-16 The contents of the index are as follows: I.
