Love Letters to Missouri--a Kept Promise
Author: Samuel Matthias Ayres
Publisher: Virtualbookworm Publishing
ISBN: 1589398637
Category : California
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
"Love Letters from Missouri" is a human interest story of a young Missouri doctor, Dr. Samuel Ayres, who joined the general exodus of 1850 to the gold fields of California in the pursuit of riches. As promised to his wife, Samuel faithfully writes letters describing his day-to-day adventures of the trail, including brief encounters with Indians, successful treatment of numerous chases of cholera along the Platte river between Fort Kearney and Fort Laramie, and celebrating the third anniversary of the establishment of the Great City of Salt Lake. Frequently he mentions his loneliness and heartbreak being away from his wife Priscilla and their two small boys, of concern for his own personal safety and of his extreme disappointment in the deteriorated conditions and lack of opportunities found in California on his arrival. Following only one actual day of labor in the gold fields, Dr. Ayres succumbed to illness and tragically dies November 19, 1850, six months and one week after his departure from his Missouri wife and family.

Hollywood Highbrow
Author: Shyon Baumann
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691187282
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
Today's moviegoers and critics generally consider some Hollywood products--even some blockbusters--to be legitimate works of art. But during the first half century of motion pictures very few Americans would have thought to call an American movie "art." Up through the 1950s, American movies were regarded as a form of popular, even lower-class, entertainment. By the 1960s and 1970s, however, viewers were regularly judging Hollywood films by artistic criteria previously applied only to high art forms. In Hollywood Highbrow, Shyon Baumann for the first time tells how social and cultural forces radically changed the public's perceptions of American movies just as those forces were radically changing the movies themselves. The development in the United States of an appreciation of film as an art was, Baumann shows, the product of large changes in Hollywood and American society as a whole. With the postwar rise of television, American movie audiences shrank dramatically and Hollywood responded by appealing to richer and more educated viewers. Around the same time, European ideas about the director as artist, an easing of censorship, and the development of art-house cinemas, film festivals, and the academic field of film studies encouraged the idea that some American movies--and not just European ones--deserved to be considered art.
