Download or read book The Laramie Project written by and published by Dramatists Play Service Inc. This book was released on 2012 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE STORY: On November 6, 1998, gay University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard left the Fireside Bar with Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson. The following day he was discovered on a prairie at the edge of town, tied to a fence, brutally beaten, and close to death. Six days later Matthew Shepard died at Poudre Valley Hospital in Ft. Collins, Colorado. On November 14th, 1998, ten members of Tectonic Theatre Project traveled to Laramie, Wyoming and conducted interviews with the people of the town. Over the next year, the company returned to Laramie six times and conducted over 200 interviews. These texts became the basis for the play The Laramie Project. Ten years later on September 12th, 2008, five members of Tectonic returned to Laramie to try to understand the long-term effect of the murder. They found a town wrestling with its legacy and its place in history. In addition to revisiting the folks whose words riveted us in the original play, this time around, the company also spoke with the two murderers, McKinney and Henderson, as well as Matthew's mother, Judy Shepard. THE LARAMIE PROJECT: TEN YEARS LATER is a bold new work, which asks the question, "How does society write its own history?"

Book Synopsis Fort Laramie by : Douglas C. McChristian
Download or read book Fort Laramie written by Douglas C. McChristian and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2017-03-13 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the U.S. Army posts in the West, none witnessed more history than Fort Laramie, positioned where the northern Great Plains join the Rocky Mountains. From its beginnings as a trading post in 1834 to its abandonment by the army in 1890, it was involved in the buffalo hide trade, overland migrations, Indian wars and treaties, the Utah War, Confederate maneuvering, and the coming of the telegraph and first transcontinental railroad. Douglas C. McChristian has written the first complete history of Fort Laramie, chronicling every critical stage in its existence, including its addition to the National Park System. He draws on an extraordinary array of archival materials–including those at Fort Laramie National Historic Site–to present new data about the fort and new interpretations of historical events. Emphasizing the fort's military history, McChristian documents the army's vital role in ending challenges posed by American Indians to U.S. occupation and settlement of the region, and he expands on the fort's interactions with the many Native peoples of the Central Plains and Rocky Mountains. He provides a particularly lucid description of the infamous Grattan fight of 1854, which initiated a generation of strife between Indians and U.S. soldiers, and he recounts the 1851 Horse Creek and 1868 Fort Laramie treaties. Meticulously researched and gracefully told, this is a long-overdue military history of one of the American West's most venerable historic places.

This book was released on 1971 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geological field reconnaissance and geophysical evaluations were made of four areas within the Laramie Range for the purpose of selecting a site suitable for construction of a hard rock prototype test silo. The investigated areas are located between Laramie and Cheyenne in southeastern Wyoming, within the outcrop belt of Sherman granite. Within three areas, fourteen sites or prospective test beds were investigated by means of seismic surveys and core borings. An evaluation of the data gathered in these areas revealed that Site P6-2A was suited for location of a hard rock prototype silo, and this site was investigated in more detail than were the other sites. This report describes the manner in which field tests were performed, types of information gathered, and data used to evaluate the sites, i.e., geologic and topographic mapping, core borings, in situ velocity measurements, laboratory and in situ strength tests, groundwater studies, etc. (Author).

Book Synopsis Fort Laramie and the Pageant of the West, 1834-1890 by : LeRoy Reuben Hafen
Download or read book Fort Laramie and the Pageant of the West, 1834-1890 written by LeRoy Reuben Hafen and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2018-08 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To weary travelers on the Oregon Trail during the middle decades of the nineteenth century, Fort Laramie was a welcome sight. Its walls and flag-decked towers rose from the high plains, their solidity suggesting that the white man was gaining a toehold in the wilderness. Hafen and Young present the colorful history of Fort Laramie from its establishment as Fort John in 1834 to its abandonment in 1890. Early on, the fort was controlled by the American Fur Company and patronized by trappers like Jim Bridger and Kit Carson. Then it was a vital supply center and rest stop for a tide of emigrants--missionaries, Mormons, forty-niners, and homeseekers. As more wagons rolled west and the Pony Express came through, the need for protection increased; in 1849, Fort Laramie was converted from a trapper's post into a military fort. Down through the years there were skirmishes with the Plains Indians, who sometimes came to the fort to barter and to treat. The peace council of 1851--one of the largest gatherings of tribes ever seen in the Old West--is here described in fascinating detail. The cast of characters in this great historical pageant reads like a who's who of the American West.

While working as a bank president in McCook, Nebraska, Spearman, in his dreams, dwelt among the prairies and wilderness of the West. He lived at the beginning of the 20th century – when the railways network was actively built across the states. Most of his novels are dedicated to living on the early western railroads. Yet, the book "Laramie Holds the Range" focuses on the life of cattle rustlers and romantic cowboy heroes. It revokes the romantics of that distant era populated by fearless people able to do everything to reach their dreams.
