Download or read book The Horse Interlude written by Thomas B. Keith and published by Idaho Research Foundation. This book was released on 1976 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Horse Interlude presents a pictorial history of the role horses played in the wheat farming operations of the Pacific Northwest, concentrating on the geographical area located along the Snake River in Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. In it Thomas B. Keith surveys the period from the mid-1850s to the 1930s, during which technological innovations progressively enabled farmers to improve the efficiency of wheat farming operations, beginning with the replacement of the cradle and flail by the horse, and ending when the horse was in its turn supplanted by the self-propelled combine. Detailed photographs of horse-drawn equipment illustrate the ways in which the use of horses changed during three successive periods of agricultural history: the pioneer settlement of the area, the inauguration of large-scale farming, and the attainment of mechanization. Other sections of the book relate the histories of threshers, headers, and horse-propelled harvesters, while the conclusion recounts the accomplishments of the Northwest's greatest riders. In telling the story of the "horse interlude," Keith draws the reader back to a time of rapid growth and change, a time created by the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the early wheat farmers of the Pacific Northwest and their hard-working partners, the horses.

Download or read book Where Have All the Horses Gone written by Jonathan V. Levin and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A century ago, horses were ubiquitous in America. They plowed the fields, transported people and goods within and between cities and herded livestock. About a million of them were shipped overseas to serve in World War I. Equine related industries employed vast numbers of stable workers, farriers, wainwrights, harness makers and teamsters. Cities were ringed with fodder-producing farmland, and five-story stables occupied prime real estate in Manhattan. Then, in just a few decades, the horses vanished in a wave of emerging technologies. Those technologies fostered unprecedented economic growth, and with it a culture of recreation and leisure that opened a new place for the horse as an athletic teammate and social companion.

Download or read book The Late Medieval Interlude written by Fiona S. Dunlop and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2007 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sensitive study of the 15/16 century interlude, focussing on one of its major concerns, the depiction of male aristocracy and the development to maturity. The commercial theatre of the late sixteenth century is often credited with introducing its audiences to new modes of thought about the self, society and the nation, making them conscious that the self is performed, as an actor performs a role. Yet the earlier interlude drama, originally performed in households and other institutions of the late fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, indicates that the late medieval period was fully aware of the theatricalityof identity. This book argues that ideas of performance inform the concepts of aristocratic masculinity developed in the plays Nature, Fulgens and Lucres, The Worlde and the Chylde, The Interlude of Youth and Calisto and Melebea. It examines how the depiction of young male aristocrats in these texts is shaped by ideas of male youth constituted in the middle ages, and shows them as failing or succeeding to perform anadult noble masculinity in the aristocratic body and in aristocratic household. The book also suggests ways in which the plays offer discreet praise and censure of the manner in which their noble patrons performed as aristocrats.Throughout, it brings out the subtle qualities of the interludes, which, the author shows, have been unjustly neglected.

Download or read book Still Horse Crazy After All These Years written by James Wofford and published by Trafalgar Square Books. This book was released on 2021-06-16 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rare insider’s look at the life of a professional sportsman as he tries to reconcile the passion that drives him with livelihood, family, and aging. Three-time Olympian Jim Wofford grew up with horses, beginning with his childhood on a Kansas farm in the forties. The son of an Olympic show jumper, Wofford and his siblings all found themselves pursuing a “riding life”—one of reward and growth, of challenge and disappointment, but mostly of learning to understand and work with a complex animal as an athletic partner and friend. Over the years Wofford developed as an international competitor, successful coach, and sought-after commentator. Known for his wit, irreverence, and whip-smart observations on the sport and its participants, as well as the state of the “outside” world, his magazine columns were soon as legendary as his performances in the saddle. Now Wofford brings his immense talent for telling tales—all of them (mostly) true—to the page in a lively and absorbing look back through time spent in and out of the saddle. With lessons in horsemanship both simple and profound interwoven with fascinating stories from his many diverse adventures around the world, readers enjoy a peek inside the wild ride that can be the life of an international equestrian while pondering weighty questions, such as how to make decisions for the good of the horse and how to find a soulful connection with him. Although these questions may never be fully answered, readers discover something about themselves as they see how philosophical investigation contributed to Wofford’s own evolution over time. An honest, funny, poignant read certain to entertain and educate every horse person.
