  • Quechee's Gorge Revels North: a Family Affair Knowing Fire and Air
    Quechee, Vermont 05059 Fall 2018 Published Quarterly Knowing Fire and Air: Revels North: Tom Ritland A Family Affair Ruth Sylvester ou might think that a guy who’s made a career as a firefighter, with a retirement career as a balloon chaser, would be kind of a wild man, but Tom Ritland is soft-spoken and quiet. YPerhaps after a lifetime of springing suddenly to full alert, wearing, and carrying at least 60 pounds of equipment into life-threatening situations, and dealing with constantly changing catastrophes, he feels no need to swagger. Here’s a man who has seen a lot of disasters, and done more than his fair share to remedy them. He knows the value of forethought. He prefers prevention to having to fix problems, and he knows that the best explanation is no good if the recipient Teelin, Heather and Monet Nowlan doesn’t get it. He punctuates his discourse Molly O’Hara with, “Does that make sense?” It certainly makes sense to have working evels North is a theatre company steeped in tradition, according to their history on their website, revelsnorth.org. smoke and carbon monoxide alarms if the “Revels” began in 1957 when John Meredith Langstaff alternative is losing your house or your life.

  • AMERICAN MANHOOD in the CIVIL WAR ERA a Dissertation Submitted
    UNMADE: AMERICAN MANHOOD IN THE CIVIL WAR ERA A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Michael E. DeGruccio _________________________________ Gail Bederman, Director Graduate Program in History Notre Dame, Indiana July 2007 UNMADE: AMERICAN MANHOOD IN THE CIVIL WAR ERA Abstract by Michael E. DeGruccio This dissertation is ultimately a story about men trying to tell stories about themselves. The central character driving the narrative is a relatively obscure officer, George W. Cole, who gained modest fame in central New York for leading a regiment of black soldiers under the controversial General Benjamin Butler, and, later, for killing his attorney after returning home from the war. By weaving Cole into overlapping micro-narratives about violence between white officers and black troops, hidden war injuries, the personal struggles of fellow officers, the unbounded ambition of his highest commander, Benjamin Butler, and the melancholy life of his wife Mary Barto Cole, this dissertation fleshes out the essence of the emergent myth of self-made manhood and its relationship to the war era. It also provides connective tissue between the top-down war histories of generals and epic battles and the many social histories about the “common soldier” that have been written consciously to push the historiography away from military brass and Lincoln’s administration. Throughout this dissertation, mediating figures like Cole and those who surrounded him—all of lesser ranks like major, colonel, sergeant, or captain—hem together what has previously seemed like the disconnected experiences of the Union military leaders, and lowly privates in the field, especially African American troops.

  • Cthulhu Lives!: a Descriptive Study of the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society
    CTHULHU LIVES!: A DESCRIPTIVE STUDY OF THE H.P. LOVECRAFT HISTORICAL SOCIETY J. Michael Bestul A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2006 Committee: Dr. Jane Barnette, Advisor Prof. Bradford Clark Dr. Marilyn Motz ii ABSTRACT Dr. Jane Barnette, Advisor Outside of the boom in video game studies, the realm of gaming has barely been scratched by academics and rarely been explored in a scholarly fashion. Despite the rich vein of possibilities for study that tabletop and live-action role-playing games present, few scholars have dug deeply. The goal of this study is to start digging. Operating at the crossroads of art and entertainment, theatre and gaming, work and play, it seeks to add the live-action role-playing game, CTHULHU LIVES, to the discussion of performance studies. As an introduction, this study seeks to describe exactly what CTHULHU LIVES was and has become, and how its existence brought about the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society. Simply as a gaming group which grew into a creative organization that produces artifacts in multiple mediums, the Society is worthy of scholarship. Add its humble beginnings, casual style and non-corporate affiliation, and its recent turn to self- sustainability, and the Society becomes even more interesting. In interviews with the artists behind CTHULHU LIVES, and poring through the archives of their gaming experiences, the picture develops of the journey from a small group of friends to an organization with influences and products on an international scale.

  • 2 Kansas History Fear, Politics, Myth, and Memory: Governor Thomas A
    Republican Thomas Andrew Osborn ran for governor and won in 1872 and began actively promoting settlement in the state. Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 42 (Spring 2019): 2–19 2 Kansas History Fear, Politics, Myth, and Memory: Governor Thomas A. Osborn and the Osage Border War of 1874–1875 by Isaias McCaffery n high summer, the Gypsum Hills of south-central Kansas can radiate heat like a vast oven. The iron oxide– tinted ridges shimmer like embers on days when the mercury crosses the hundred-degree mark and keeps rising. The dusty two-lane highway to Medicine Lodge provides dramatic vistas straight out of a Western movie, showcasing scarlet-banded buttes, towering mesas, eroded arroyos, and rugged boulder-strewn canyons.1 The arable remainder is devoted mostly to stock grazing, and as human populations have waned over the past century, the Iopportunistic wildlife has rebounded. Returning natives include deer, turkeys, mountain lions, and pronghorns—to which can be added some grouchy seven-foot-long western diamondback rattlesnakes from neighboring Oklahoma. The indigenous groves of red cedars are a relentless colonizer, ruining extensive pasturage as aggressive root systems seek out whatever marginal moisture the soil retains. Fire remains the primal force that preserves the equilibrium between tall grass and cedar. This is a beautiful land, but one with a measure of menace for those who fail to respect its rules, realities, and limitations. The historical balance between successes and failures—between personal and familial triumphs and tragedies—seems to have tilted toward the negative side of the scales here.
