Lowry Charles Wimberly And The Retreat Of Regionalism, Kathleen A. Boardman
Lowry Charles Wimberly And The Retreat Of Regionalism, Kathleen A. Boardman
Great Plains Quarterly
"The New Regionalism," an essay by Lowry Charles Wimberly, appeared in the summer 1932 issue of Prairie Schooner, already well known as a midwestern literary magazine. Wimberly, an English professor at the University of Nebraska, had been the magazine's editor since its 1927 founding (and would continue in the post until 1956). As editor and teacher, he unfailingly encouraged potential writers to "leave trace of themselves" and their region by using local materials. 1

Shaping The Growth Of The Montana Economy:T.C. Power & Bro. And The Canadian Trade, 1869,93, Henry C. Klassen
Great Plains Quarterly
The principal Fort Benton merchant houses that traded with the southwestern Canadian prairies from the late 1860s to the early 1890s helped determine the growth and vitality of the Montana economy. Particularly in north-central Montana, the region dominated by Fort Benton, the Montana-Canada commerce played a key role. Fort Benton's two largest merchant partnerships, T.e. Power & Bro. and 1.0. Baker & Co., became leaders among the pioneers in the big business of Canadian prairie trade during this period. They created international marketing and purchasing networks for importing buffalo robes and furs and for exporting foodstuffs, ready-made clothes, metal and …
Stephen Crane's "Bride" As Countermyth Of The West, Jules Zanger
Stephen Crane's "Bride" As Countermyth Of The West, Jules Zanger
Great Plains Quarterly
It has become a critical cliche to recognize Stephen Crane's "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky" as a parody of the traditional, cliche-ridden Western. His transformations of that form's conventional hero, heroine, and badman, as well as of the climactic, de rigueur shootout are amusing and obvious. In the story Crane depicted the Pullman journey of a middle-aged, honeymooning couple, Jack Potter, a Texas marshal, and his plain, "under-class" bride, to their home in Yellow Sky. There they are confronted by the rampaging Scratchy Wilson, the last of the badmen, who on learning that the marshal has taken a wife, …
Plate Tectonics, Space, Geologic Time, And The Great Plains: A Primer For Non-Geologists, R. F. Diffendal Jr.
Plate Tectonics, Space, Geologic Time, And The Great Plains: A Primer For Non-Geologists, R. F. Diffendal Jr.
Great Plains Quarterly
For most Americans, "The Great Plains" evokes images of grasslands, dust storms, prairie fires, Indians on horseback, cowboys and wheat lands, and perhaps flat valleys crossed by braided rivers carrying a heavy load of sand and gravel, extremes of weather, and a climate typified by an alternation of droughts and wetter periods. Geologists picture such general images, too, but they also see radical changes in the landscape over periods expressed in millions rather than hundreds of years. Geologically speaking, human activities on the Great Plains are too recent to have much of a place in the broad geologic history of …

Book Review: Modern Elementary Probability And Statistics, Douglas H. Johnson
United States Geological Survey, Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center: Publications
This is an introductory textbook, "developed for, and class- tested in," first courses in elementary probability and/or statistics. The only prerequisite is high-school algebra. It has some nice features, but shortcomings in both substance and style detract from its value.
