Archaeological Investigations At Sites In The Upper Cibolo Creek Watershed, Central Texas, Thomas C. Kelly, Thomas R. Hester Jan 1976

Archaeological Investigations At Sites In The Upper Cibolo Creek Watershed, Central Texas, Thomas C. Kelly, Thomas R. Hester

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

In August, 1976, the Center for Archaeological Research, The University of Texas at San Antonio, conducted an intensive archaeological survey of the proposed Floodwater Retarding Structure No.1 area, in the Upper Cibolo Creek Watershed, Kendall County, Texas. The work was carried out under the terms of a contract (135-TX-SCS-76) with the U.S.D.A. Soil Conservation Service. An initial survey of this area had been conducted in February, 1975; two historic and 17 prehistoric archaeological sites were documented at that time (Bass and Hester 1975).

The intensive survey had three major objectives: (1) to conduct additional reconnaissance, thus insuring that all possible …

Gertrude Atherton, Charlotte S. Mcclure Jan 1976

Gertrude Atherton, Charlotte S. Mcclure

Western Writers Series Digital Editions

Gertrude Atherton's story-chronicle of old Spanish and new American California appeared at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of her sixty-year-long career. Eighteen of her thirty-four novels, three of her four collections of short stories, and all three of her histories drew their inspiration from California, covering the area in the years from the 1800’s through the 1930's.


John G. Neihardt, Lucile F. Aly Jan 1976

John G. Neihardt, Lucile F. Aly

Western Writers Series Digital Editions

In the literature celebrating the rugged spirit and tenacious optimism of the American West, John G. Neihardt, a Nebraska poet, raised one of the most vigorous voices. It sounds in his lyrics and rings through his epic masterwork, A Cycle of the West, in blended notes of wonder at the universe and deeper strains of human sorrow. His inspiration came from what he called the “glorious experience of living."


Bill Nye: The Western Writings, David B. Kesterson Jan 1976

Bill Nye: The Western Writings, David B. Kesterson

Western Writers Series Digital Editions

Though closely identified with the American West, Edgar Wilson Nye was born in the East and lived most of his life in the Midwest and South. Born in Shirley, Maine, on August 25, 1850, the eldest son of Franklin and Elizabeth Mitchell (Loring) Nye, Edgar was to remain a New Englander for only two years. As his future friend and lecture partner James Whitcomb Riley would later write in a comic account of Nye’s life, “At two years of age he took his parents by the hand, and, telling them that Piscataquis County was no place for them, he boldly …


Hamlin Garland: The Far West, Robert Gish Jan 1976

Hamlin Garland: The Far West, Robert Gish

Western Writers Series Digital Editions

Hamlin Garland is regarded today with both condescension and respect. His Middle-Western writings, the early and later phases of his work, are more highly regarded than are the Far-Western writings of his middle phase. The cause of this unevenness in the Garland canon can be traced to his attraction to history and story, propaganda and art, Realism and Romanticism. The boundaries of fiction and non-fiction contract and expand throughout Garland’s work, just as in his life he trailed and back-trailed from the Midwest to the East and West. In this sense Garland’s writing is inseparably autobiographical and regional; and his …

Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings' The Yearling: A Study In The Rhetorical Effectiveness Of A Novel, Edna Louise Saffy

Saffy Collection - All Textual Materials

In 1939 Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in Letters for her novel, The Yearling, and elected to the Academy of Arts and Letters. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings wrote with a present concept of effectiveness. Her Theory of Composition as evinced by her personal papers, lecture notes, scrapbooks, newspaper articles, and correspondence housed in the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Collection at the University of Florida Library, was based up on the creation of a se4nse of reality, which she believed necessary in order to communicate beauty. Her theory incorporated the process of characterization, true-to-life depiction, universality, unity, the use of …

Sherwood Anderson, Charles Burchfield, And The American Small Town, Jerome Paul Shea Dec 1975

Sherwood Anderson, Charles Burchfield, And The American Small Town, Jerome Paul Shea

American Studies ETDs

This study explores the American small town, located (for the study's purposes) principally in the turn-of-the-century Midwest, and its reflection in the works of the American writer, Sherwood Anderson, and the American painter, Charles Burchfield.

A large portion of the study is devoted to the small town itself: its place in our history and in our myths. To that end, many pages are devoted to the highlights of American history from 1875 to 1925, to some of the representative phenomena of that period, and to our geographical myths (e.g., "out West" versus "back East") which came together in the Midwest. …
