Download or read book Blazing the Way written by W. W. Van Dusen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Blazing the Way: Or, Pioneer Experiences in Idaho, Washington, and Oregon The purpose of this book is twofold: First, to show clearly, from the experience of the writer, that the demands for pioneer work in the Church have not yet ceased to exist; second, to present a faithful and true picture of the phys ical and moral conditions of the country de scribed. Concerning each of these matters there is much confusion of mind among some people. Those who live in the older sections of our coun try find it difficult to comprehend the situation where the people are so widely scattered as they are in the Rocky Mountain States and Territories. This book sets forth what the writer has seen, together with some facts which he can vouch for as if he had seen them. It is certainly much more to be trusted than the ordinary real estate circular, or the prospectus of the mine promoter. The writer has no motive in presenting a view other than is borne out by facts.

Download or read book Pioneer Mother Monuments written by Cynthia Culver Prescott and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2019-04-04 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than a century, American communities erected monuments to western pioneers. Although many of these statues receive little attention today, the images they depict—sturdy white men, saintly mothers, and wholesome pioneer families—enshrine prevailing notions of American exceptionalism, race relations, and gender identity. Pioneer Mother Monuments is the first book to delve into the long and complex history of remembering, forgetting, and rediscovering pioneer monuments. In this book, historian Cynthia Culver Prescott combines visual analysis with a close reading of primary-source documents. Examining some two hundred monuments erected in the United States from the late nineteenth century to the present, Prescott begins her survey by focusing on the earliest pioneer statues, which celebrated the strong white men who settled—and conquered—the West. By the 1930s, she explains, when gender roles began shifting, new monuments came forth to honor the Pioneer Mother. The angelic woman in a sunbonnet, armed with a rifle or a Bible as she carried civilization forward—an iconic figure—resonated particularly with Mormon audiences. While interest in these traditional monuments began to wane in the postwar period, according to Prescott, a new wave of pioneer monuments emerged in smaller communities during the late twentieth century. Inspired by rural nostalgia, these statues helped promote heritage tourism. In recent years, Americans have engaged in heated debates about Confederate Civil War monuments and their implicit racism. Should these statues be removed or reinterpreted? Far less attention, however, has been paid to pioneer monuments, which, Prescott argues, also enshrine white cultural superiority—as well as gender stereotypes. Only a few western communities have reexamined these values and erected statues with more inclusive imagery. Blending western history, visual culture, and memory studies, Prescott’s pathbreaking analysis is enhanced by a rich selection of color and black-and-white photographs depicting the statues along with detailed maps that chronologically chart the emergence of pioneer monuments.
