Download or read book Helldorado written by William M. Breakenridge and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1992-06-01 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helldorado offers cinematic images of wagon trains crossing the Great Plains, of Phoenix and Denver emerging from the dust and mud, of Tombstone blazing through a silver bonanza, and of the railroad joining East and West to change history. In his memoirs, originally published in 1928, William M. Breakenridge is shown doing about everything an enterprising and vigorous young man could do on the frontier. After leaving Wisconsin at the age of sixteen, he became a teamster, railroader; and lawman in Colorado, Arizona, and elsewhere. He took part in the Sand Creek Massacre, here described from his own point of view. Helldorado heats up in its evocation of early-day Tombstone, where, as deputy sheriff, Breakenridge encountered the Earp brothers, Doc Holliday, Bat Masterson, Luke Short, John Ringo, and Buckskin Frank Leslie.

Download or read book The Arizona Diary of Lily Fr mont 1878 1881 written by Elizabeth Benton Frémont and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Well traveled and gently reared, Elizabeth (Lily) Benton Frémont found herself heading for the rough-and-tumble West when her father, John C. Frémont, was named governor of Arizona Territory. In his shadow and that of her grandfather, U.S. Senator Thomas Hart Benton, her life on the frontier would have gone largely unremarked but for one thing: Lily kept a diary. Here, in rich detail, her day-by-day narrative and the editor's annotations bring to life Arizona's territorial capital of Prescott more than one hundred years ago. Lily gives us firsthand accounts of the operation of territorial government; of pressure from Anglo settlers to dispossess Pima Indians from their land; and of efforts by the governor and the army to deal with Indian scares. Here also, underlying her words, are insights into the dynamics of a close-knit Victorian family, shaping the life of an intelligent, educated single woman. As unofficial secretary for her father, Lily was well placed to observe and record an almost constant stream of visitors to the governor's home and office. Observe and record, she did. Her diary is filled with unvarnished images of personalities such as the Goldwaters, General O. B. Willcox, Moses Sherman, Judge Charles Silent, and a host of lesser citizens, politicians, and army officers. Lily's anecdotes vividly re-create the periodic personality clashes that polarized society (and one full-fledged scandal), the ever-present danger of fire, religious practices (particularly a burial service conducted in Hebrew), and attitudes toward Native Americans and Chinese. On a more personal level, the reader will find intimate accounts of John Frémont's obsession with mining promotion, his complicated business dealings with Judge Silent, and his attempts to recoup his family's sagging fortune. Here especially, Lily outlines a telling profile of her father, a man roundly castigated then and now as a carpetbagger less interested in promoting Arizona's interests than his own. For students of western history, Lily Frémont's diary provides a wealth of fresh information on frontier politics, mining, army life, social customs, and ethnicity. For all readers, her words from a century ago offer new perspectives on the winning of the West as well as fascinating glimpses of a world that once was and is no more.

Download or read book Hispanic American Material Culture written by and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1989-06-23 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the rapid increase of the Hispanic population in the United States, the Spanish cultural heritage has begun to achieve greater visibility and attract widespread interest. This directory reflects the efforts of states, museums, and other institutions, communities, and individuals to preserve and promote Hispanic material culture. It offers detailed information on depositories of Hispanic-American arts and crafts, photographic collections, museums, historic sites, and festivals, as well as folklore and oral history archives. The oldest and most numerous repositories are those that preserve Mexican-American culture in New Mexico, Texas, and California. These include many fine museum collections; historic churches, missions, plazas, government buildings, and houses; religious and secular festivals held at various times of the year; and collections of the work of traditional craftsmen such as the santeros, who in some parts of the Southwest still carve wooden statuettes of saints for churches and home altars. The primary repositories for Cuban materials are in Florida and New York; Puerto Rican materials have been collected mainly in Puerto Rico and the industrial northeast. This extensive bibliography provides information on studies dealing with architecture, foodways, arts and crafts, costume, festivals, and other topics. The subject index provides easy access to the book contents. This book will be an appropriate selection for regional, ethnic, and historical reference collections and a useful resource for academics and students with an interest in Hispanic-American history or culture.
