Book Synopsis The Papers of Will Rogers: The early years, November 1879-April 1904 by : Will Rogers
Download or read book The Papers of Will Rogers: The early years, November 1879-April 1904 written by Will Rogers and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1995-11-30 with total page 652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horses, friends, ragtime music, and steer roping-those were the interests of the youthful Will Rogers as he came of age in the Indian Territory and traveled to the Southern Hemisphere in this first of six definitive volumes of The Papers of Will Rogers. By separating fact from legend and unveiling new knowledge via extensive archival research, this documentary history represents a unique contribution to Rogers scholarship and to studies of the Cherokee Nation West. Using many previously unpublished letters and photographs-together with introductions, notes, and biographies of his friends and relatives-volume one illuminates Rogers’s complex relationship with his father, his Cherokee heritage, his early education, first encounters with his future wife, Betty Blake, his voyage to Argentina, and his fledging years in Wild West shows and circuses in South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia. Coorespondence, performance reviews, and rare newspaper documents spotlight the singular experiences that shaped the young Rogers within the context of his family, his ethnic background, and historical events. No other book describes so provocatively and authentically the genesis of America’s most beloved and influential humorist.
Book Synopsis The Papers of Will Rogers: From the Broadway stage to the national stage, September 1915-July 1928 by : Will Rogers
Download or read book The Papers of Will Rogers: From the Broadway stage to the national stage, September 1915-July 1928 written by Will Rogers and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2005-09-28 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early years of his performing career, Will Rogers was a vaudeville performer of limited prominence. Around the age of thirty-five, however, this Oklahoma cowboy philosopher shed his role as local stage entertainer and moved toward fame as a Broadway star and nationally beloved humorist. This documentary history, volume four in the definitive five-volume Papers of Will Rogers, reveals Rogers’s personal and professional transformation during what may have been the most productive period of his diverse career. Between 1915 and 1928—the years covered by this volume—Rogers developed his unique monologues of topical humor, sampled the relatively new medium of radio, and pursued a career in silent films. He also tried his voice in sound recordings, witnessed his work as a writer reach millions of readers of daily newspapers, became one of the most sought-after speakers on the dinner circuit, and embarked on a three-year tour of the nation’s lecture halls. In addition to Rogers’s personal correspondence with family members and friends, editors Steven K. Gragert and M. Jane Johansson present more than one hundred letters and telegrams to and from people Rogers touched both inside and outside public life, including prominent figures in politics, show business, literature, industry, government, publishing, and the arts. Much of this material, gleaned from private collections, interviews, manuscripts, and sound recordings, has never before been published.

Book Synopsis Reading Territory by : Kathryn Walkiewicz
Download or read book Reading Territory written by Kathryn Walkiewicz and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2023-03-09 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The formation of new states was an essential feature of US expansion throughout the long nineteenth century, and debates over statehood and states' rights were waged not only in legislative assemblies but also in newspapers, maps, land surveys, and other forms of print and visual culture. Assessing these texts and archives, Kathryn Walkiewicz theorizes the logics of federalism and states' rights in the production of US empire, revealing how they were used to imagine states into existence while clashing with relational forms of territoriality asserted by Indigenous and Black people. Walkiewicz centers her analysis on statehood movements to create the places now called Georgia, Florida, Kansas, Cuba, and Oklahoma. In each case she shows that Indigenous dispossession and anti-Blackness scaffolded the settler-colonial project of establishing states' rights. But dissent and contestation by Indigenous and Black people imagined alternative paths, even as their exclusion and removal reshaped and renamed territory. By recovering this tension, Walkiewicz argues we more fully understand the role of state-centered discourse as an expression of settler colonialism. We also come to see the possibilities for a territorial ethic that insists on thinking beyond the boundaries of the state.
Book Synopsis The African American Press by : Charles A. Simmons
Download or read book The African American Press written by Charles A. Simmons and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-05-18 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work examines both predominately black newspapers in general and four in particular--the Chicago Defender, the Pittsburgh Courier, the Black Dispatch (Oklahoma City), and the Jackson (Mississippi) Advocate--and their coverage of national events. The beginnings of the black press are detailed, focusing on how they reported the anti-slavery movement, the Civil War and the Reconstruction era. Their coverage of the migration of blacks to the industrial north in the early twentieth century and World War I are next examined, followed by the black press response to World War II and the civil rights movement. The survival techniques used by the editors, how some editors reacted when faced with threats of physical harm, and how the individual editorial policies affected the different newspapers are fully explored.

Book Synopsis The Routledge Companion to American Journalism History by : Melita M. Garza
Download or read book The Routledge Companion to American Journalism History written by Melita M. Garza and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-20 with total page 668 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Companion to American Journalism History revisits media history across forms, formats, and multiple fault lines, including gender, ethnicity, race, and citizenship status. Original contributions highlight areas of journalism history in desperate need of further treatment, with a special focus on diversity, equity, and accountability. Sections cover the early origins and development of journalism in the United States, pivotal moments and personalities in various strands of journalism, underrepresented groups and formats in journalism history, and key issues in "doing" journalism history. Authors aim to fill in the gaps left by traditional historical narratives by examining overlooked subjects, such as labor reporting, and overdue theoretical perspectives, such as intersectionality. Collectively, the voices in this book offer a more inclusive paradigm for the field. Written by a range of recognized journalism scholars, both well-established and emerging, this collection offers a thought-provoking starting point for researchers and advanced students seeking a critical understanding of American journalism history as conceived in the current era.
Book Synopsis The State of Sequoyah by : Donald L. Fixico
Download or read book The State of Sequoyah written by Donald L. Fixico and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2024-10-22 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few people today know that the forty-sixth state could have been Sequoyah, not Oklahoma. The Five Tribes of Indian Territory gathered in 1905 to form their own, Indian-led state. Leaders of the Cherokees, Chickasaws, Choctaws, Muscogees, and Seminoles drafted a constitution, which eligible voters then ratified. In the end, Congress denied their request, but the movement that fueled their efforts transcends that single defeat. Researched and interpreted by distinguished Native historian Donald L. Fixico, this book tells the remarkable story of how the state of Sequoyah movement unfolded and the extent to which it remains alive today. Fixico tells how the Five Nations, after removal to the west, negotiated treaties with the U.S. government and lobbied Congress to allow them to retain communal control of their lands as sovereign nations. In the wake of the Civil War, while a dozen bills in Congress proposed changing the status of Indian Territory, the Five Tribes sought strength in unity. The Boomer movement and seven land dispensations—beginning with the famous run of 1889—nevertheless eroded their borders and threatened their cultural and political autonomy. President Theodore Roosevelt ultimately declared his support for the merging of Indian Territory with Oklahoma Territory, paving the way for Oklahoma statehood in 1907—and shattering the state of Sequoyah dream. Yet the Five Tribes persevered. Fixico concludes his narrative by highlighting recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions, most notably McGirt v. Oklahoma (2020), that have reaffirmed the sovereignty of Indian nations over their lands and people—a principal inherent in the Sequoyah movement. Did the story end in 1907? Could the Five Tribes revive their plan for separate statehood? Fixico leaves the reader to ponder this intriguing possibility.
