FOUR OUTSTANDING COLLECTIONS OPEN FOR INSPECTION In addition to the largest depository of Missouri records in the world and its well-known library and reference facilities on Missouriana, the State Historical Society of Missouri has four outstanding collections open for inspection in the Society's rooms in the University of Missouri library building in Columbia. All members of the Society and their friends and the general public are invited to see these collections when they are in Columbia: THE GEORGE CALEB BINGHAM ART COLLECTION The George Caleb Bingham Art Collection is headed by "Order No. 11" or "Martial Law," Missouri's most famous historical painting. This canvas is a vivid portrayal of the cruelties of General Thomas Ewing's order depopulating a section of western Missouri during the Civil War to rid the area of bushwhackers. Other Bingham paintings in the collection include portraits of James Shannon, John Woods Harris, and Vinnie Ream Hoxie, and two genre paintings called "Watching The Cargo" or "Lighter Re­ lieving A Steamboat Aground" and "Scene on the Ohio." The Bingham Art Collection hangs in the Society's reading room. THE DANIEL R. FITZPATRICK COLLECTION The Daniel R. Fitzpatrick Collection of cartoon drawings for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch includes 1,332 original sketches by the internationally famous editorial cartoonist. The cartoons cover the period from 1917 to 1945. They are mainly in the field of Missouriana with a number relating to national and international affairs. Mr. Fitzpatrick's work, which has been displayed in one-man shows in domestic and foreign museums, has been awarded numerous prizes including the Pulitzer prize of 1926. The collection was given to the Society by Mr. Fitzpatrick. THE J. CHRISTIAN BAY COLLECTION The J. Christian Bay Collection, one of the rare selected libraries of Middle Western Americana in the United States, consists of more than 3,800 items of information fundamental in the history and literature in America's great "Middle Border." The collection is a unit of historical information on this part of the United States. Named in honor of its creator, J. Christian Bay, librarian emeritus of the John Crerar Library of Chicago and an outstanding scholar and bibliographer, the Bay Collection is housed in a special rare book room. THE THOMAS HART BENTON GALLERY The Thomas Hart Benton Gallery of historic art includes The Year of Peril series of paintings: eight historical canvases of 1942, painted by the Missouri artist, Thomas Hart Benton. Another closely associated Benton painting, entitled "The Negro Soldier" and painted at the same time as The Year of Peril series, is also on display in the Benton Gallery. The paintings were first used by the government of the United States in propa­ ganda work in the form of reproductions distributed overseas. The Year of Peril paintings were presented to the Society by the Abbott Labora­ tories and Mr. Benton presented "The Negro Soldier" canvas to the Society. Qontents Page THIS WEEK IN MISSOURI HISTORY.

SHOEMAKER* With this issue, readers are introduced to a new section in the Review—the Society's illustrated "This Week In Missouri History" sketches. Enjoyed by Missouri newspaper readers for twenty-six years, these articles now have eye-catching pictures added. The 1951 illustrated series is of such unusual interest that we are printing the articles in the Review for members who may miss them in their local papers. Each issue will contain the six articles released during the previous quarter. "This Week In Missouri History" is the oldest and most widely circulated service of its kind in the United States. It was in February, 1925, that I wrote the first four articles and mailed copies to twenty Missouri editors. Publication of this popular free service to Missouri newspapers soon reached state­ wide proportions. In later years, research associates of the Society have com­ piled the articles under my editorship.

  • Book Reviews
    BOOK REVIEWS The Keelboat Age on Western Waters. By Leland D. Baldwin. (Pittsburgh, University of Pittsburgh Press, 1941. xiv, 268 p. Maps, illustrations.) Here, in eight swiftly flowing chapters, is the turbulent story of river transportation in the Mississippi Valley prior to the steamboat era. Although Pittsburgh receives the spotlight and the Ohio Valley serves as the main stage for this colorful pageant, the Mississippi and the Missouri are not forgotten. The inclusion of such incidents as the capture of Vincennes on the Wabash during the American Revolution, the Battle of Campbell's Island on the Upper Mississippi during the War of 181 2, the great race of Manuel Lisa up the muddy Missouri in 181 1, and the removal of the famous Red River raft during the 1830's by Captain Henry MillerShreve illustrate the far-flung nature of the "boatable waters" of the Mississippi Valley which Thomas Hart Benton and William Clark estimated in 1820 at fiftythousand miles. Inhis opening chapter Dr. Baldwin discusses the role of the western waters in American expansion. Although primarily concerned with the keelboat, considerable space is allotted to the other types of river craft used in the Mississippi Valley from Revolutionary War days to about 1820. This is espe- cially true when boats and boat building are discussed in chapter two. The advantages and disadvantages of such craft as the bullboat and the bateau, the birchbark canoe and the dugout, the Mackinaw boat and the flatboat, the keel- boat and the barge are clearly outlined from the standpoint of cost, capacity, speed, and durability.

THE LEGISLATURE OF 1861. On the last day of December, 1860, the twenty-first General Assem- bly of Missouri met at Jefferson City. The retiring Governor, " Bob " M. Stewart, delivered a very conservative message, taking the middle ground between secession and abolitionism, and pleading strenuously for peace and moderation. He declared, among other things, that the people of Missouri " ought not to be frightened from their propriety by the past unfriendly legislation of the North, nor dragooned into secession by the restrictive legislation of the extreme South." He concluded with a thrilling appeal for the maintenance of the Union, depicting the inevitable result of secession, revolution and war. Many of Governor Stewart's predictions were afterward fulfilled with start- ling and fearful exactness. The inaugural of the new Governor,

  • Duelling in America, Ed
    Violence, Masculinity, Image, and Reality on the Antebellum Frontier RYAN L. DEARINGER It is a permanent and universal interest of mankind that men should not kill each other; but the particular and momentary interest of a nation or class may in certain cases make homicide excusable or even honorable. Honor is nothing but this particular rule, based on a par- ticular state ofsociety, by means of which a people distributes praise or blame. -ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE ocqueville, perhaps the most prophetic and certainly the most cited T nineteenth-century foreign observer of American life, had more to say about the image, reality, and significance of violence than scholars have rec- ognized. Like many of his contemporaries who observed Jacksonian America, he was puzzled by the ambiguous relationship between honor, violence, and social class, particularly as it played out in the ritual of the duel. The refusal of a challenge to duel, Tocqueville noted, was the only act he knew to be considered both honorable and dishonorable. Viewing Ryan L. Dearinger is a history graduate student at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana. A portion of this paper was presented at the Paul Lucas Conference in History, hosted by Indiana University, Bloomington, on April 12, 2003. 1 first wish to thank three great mentors: Mark David Hall, Kerry Irish, and Ralph Beebe of George Fox University I am particularly indebted to Nancy Gabin for her insights, guidance, and confidence in my work.

  • Reader's Guide to the Mountain Men of the American West
    Reader©s Guide to the Mountain Men of the American West Antoine Clement, by Alfred Jacob Miller Compiled by Stuart Wier October 25, 2010 This is a guide to the best books about the mountain men of the American west which I know about. Anyone can find a book here to suit them: casual readers, students, enthusiasts, reenactors, and historians. I include a few less distinguished books, too, when they are the only thing about a topic. For some fifteen years -- roughly speaking, 1823 to 1838 and beyond -- the western U.S. was the domain of the mountain men, fur trappers who spent years traveling and living in the wilderness. Long before wagon trains, settlers, gold rushes, cavalry, Indian wars, cowboys, wild west towns, or railroads, mountain men were the first from the U.S. to see the Rocky Mountains and the lands from the plains to the Pacific. Their life was highly free and adventuresome, and often dangerous and short, lived in a shining wilderness. Where to begin? Many books, many choices. For a readable and short introduction try Give Your Heart to the Hawks by Winfred Blevins. For detailed histories try A Life Wild and Perilous by Robert M. Utley or the classic history Across the Wide Missouri by Bernard DeVoto. Or try some of the best biographies, such as Westering Man The Life of Joseph Walker by Bil Gilbert and Jedediah Smith and the Opening of the West by Dale L. Morgan. For adventures or "camp fire tales" try the personal journals and narratives written by some of the mountain men themselves.
