Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Frontier Holiday: Being a Collection of Writings by Minnesota Pioneers Who Recorded Their Divers Ways of Observing Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Year's Close upon two thousand years ago the birth of a baby brought to the world a message of Hope and Peace, a message which is as bright and meaningful today as it was to those waiting shepherds on the hills. Perhaps a return to basic values, unfettered by the tinseled striving of business and society, is the best therapy for this confused and fearful world. With this thought in mind, we have turned backward to discover how the early builders of our own state observed the holidays of Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Year's. Here is a collection of true stories written by Minnesota pioneers, stories which include doughnuts fried in coon's grease, a New Year's hymn sung by Indians in a lonely mission, hospitality accorded strangers from New England and Sweden and St. Paul, the thought-provoking proclamation of Minnesota's first Thanksgiving and dozens of other details which make warm the fabric of pioneer holidays. This collection of pioneer stories is timely since 1949 is the territorial centennial of Minnesota when the entire state pausesto study the sturdy foundations of the state as built by our pioneering forefathers. The homely writings reprinted here reflect the spirit and faith which guided the founders of Minnesota. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Christmas on the American Frontier, 1800-1900 ... by : John E. Baur
Download or read book Christmas on the American Frontier, 1800-1900 ... written by John E. Baur and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christmas was the most widely and generally celebrated holiday on the American frontier. Indeed, this was the day of days for the first Westerners who, though they might be too busy to celebrate other holidays, always made something different of Christmas. Hoarded delicacies were brought forth, rare leisure time was spent preparing gifts, and somehow, no matter where they were, some way was found to make the day a memorable one. Prairie settlers displayed a rare genius in finding Christmas trees on the prairies, and their imaginations filled in for the fancy gifts and gaudy ornaments missing from their bare cabins. Soldiers at frontier posts threw aside grim martial duties for boyish good times. Includes numerous eyewitness descriptions by the participants themselves.

Book Synopsis Merry Christmas! by : Karal Ann Marling
Download or read book Merry Christmas! written by Karal Ann Marling and published by . This book was released on 2000-12-25 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It wouldn't be Christmas without the "things." How they came to mean so much, and to play such a prominent role in America's central holiday, is the tale told in this delightful and edifying book. In a style characteristically engaging and erudite, Karal Ann Marling, one of our most trenchant observers of American culture, describes the outsize spectacle that Christmas has become, showing us the provenance and significance of each of its essential parts: the decorated trees and holiday lights, the cards and gifts and wrapping papers, the toy villages and store displays and Macy's holiday parade, Bing Crosby and Santa Claus. Viewing Christmas through the media of mass culture--engravings and lithographs, magazine fiction, pictorial ads, news photos, cards, and movies--Marling tells us how the beloved Christmas tree grew out of a much-reprinted image of Queen Victoria and her family gathered around a decorated fir; how Santa Claus lost his provincial Dutch character and turned into the jolly old soul we know; how Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol borrowed from Washington Irving's imaginings of what Christmas must have been like in Merrie Olde England; and how the holiday, balancing between the private and public realms, conferred a central and defining role on women. A celebration of the visual culture of the season, Merry Christmas! offers captivating evidence that Christmas in America is primarily a secular celebration of abundance, goodwill, and familial identity, expressed in a multitude of material ways.

Book Synopsis Charlie Siringo's West by : Howard Roberts Lamar
Download or read book Charlie Siringo's West written by Howard Roberts Lamar and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charlie Siringo (1855-1928) lived the quintessential life of adventure on the American frontier as a cowboy, Pinkerton detective, writer, and later as a consultant for early western films. Siringo was one of the most attractive, bold, and original characters to live and flourish in the final decades of the Wild West. Siringo's love of the cattle business and of cowboy life were so great that in 1885 he published a rollicking, picaresque account of his experiences in A Texas Cowboy, or Fifteen Years on the Hurricane Deck of a Spanish Pony--Taken From Real Life, which Will Rogers dubbed "The Cowboy's Bible." In short, Siringo was a key player in shaping the romantic image of the Wild West cowboy. Howard Lamar's biography deftly shares Siringo's story with historians and the general public interested in the American West. Lamar's account is structured within seventy-five pivotal years of western history, from the Civil War in Texas to Hollywood's glorification of the West in the 1920s. Siringo was not a mere observer, but a participant in major historical events including the Coeur d'Alene mining strikes of the 1890s and Big Bill Haywood's trial in 1907. Within this framework, Lamar focuses on Siringo's youthful struggles to employ his abundant athleticism and ambitions and how Siringo's varied experiences helped develop the compelling national myth of the cowboy.
