Book excerpt: Missourians spend their time away from work in a variety of ways¿video and computer gaming, attending sporting events and movies, exercising, or listening to music. The articles in Filling Leisure Hours: Essays from the Missouri Historical Review, 1906-2006 discuss several pastimes enjoyed by Missourians during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Editor Alan Havig, professor emeritus of history at Stephens College, Columbia, Missouri, has selected essays that describe popular arts and entertainments rather than high culture amusements. Circus tours instead of opera performances and dance halls rather than ballet stages engage the writers of these thirteen selections.Through articles published between 1920 and 2006, Havig traces leisure time pursuits of rural residents and city dwellers. From antebellum circuses to theatrical productions staged by small-town organizations in the 1950s, the writers chronicled amusements that attracted Missourians ¿after the tasks of life are done.¿ In Springfield in the early 1910s, boxing gained prominence during the search for the ¿great white hope.¿ Kansas Citians danced, roller-skated, and attended amusement parks and movies during the same time period. Many of the state¿s residents heard the distinctive voice and vocabulary of Dizzy Dean as he called major league baseball games.The editor and writers also examine a ¿problem¿ associated with leisure¿oversight and censorship by governments and organizations that feared certain activities would have a negative impact on the participants or the larger society. Filling Leisure Hours provides a new lens for examining the role of popular arts and amusements in Missouri.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A ride on a rollercoaster is the highlight of any trip to an amusement or theme park, and such attractions have been entertaining the public for well over a century. From the first mass-produced rollercoaster, the Switchback Railway, through to the giant wooden coasters of the inter-war period, seaside historian Martin Easdown uses historic postcards and photographs to chart their development and that of other amusement rides including revolving towers, aerial rides, Ferris wheels and water chutes, all of which were produced from the late Victorian era in myriad forms. Essential to the very existence of such amusement venues as Blackpool Pleasure Beach and Margate Dreamland, these much-loved rides are not so far removed from their modern-day equivalents as they might at first appear.
