Greggwood Party Campsite, Susie Van Kirk

Susie Van Kirk Papers

On November 5, 1849 a group of seven men led by Dr. Josiah Gregg, a physician, author, and explorer sent by the federal government to find the lost harbor of Trinidad, left the mining camp at Rich Bar on the Trinity River. The Indians told them that eight days' travel would bring them to a "large and beautiful bay surrounded by fine and extensive prairie land (Humboldt Bay).

This report discusses the events of the Greggwood Party as well as various houses and other locations that were established.

A Comparative Analysis Of Selected Twentieth Century Watercolorists, Bonnie L. Ferguson

Masters Theses

My objectives in writing this paper were to research selected watercolorists whose work I admire and whose work bears a relationship to my own, and to make a comparative analysis. In the process of research, I found that not all of the work of the artists I had chosen related totally to my own, but there was at least one of the basic elements that did apply. I wanted to learn from looking at their work and reading about their philosophies. That I did; and it has stimulated in me many thoughts and plans, wishes to try some of their …

Eight Teacher-Potters, Bob Daugherty

Masters Theses

This paper presents a survey of statements and the works of eight teacher-potters in Illinois. The works range from simple functional ware to funk art objects. The firing temperatures range from low fire white ware to high fire salt. The styles of the work are many; the philosophies of the work varied; and techniques of the work are diversified; but common to each work is its creation from idea to actuality by the teacher-potter. Beyond depicting the work, the paper attempts to establish the teacher-potter who created the work by showing photographs of him and by presenting his ideas and …
