Broken Hoops and Plains People
Author: Galen Buller
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Culture
Languages : en
Pages : 556
Book Description
A guide to Nebraska, concerns common people and the Great Plains. The argument of this book is that, in the colliding of cultures in the plains, many hoops were fractures-those of the Indian cultures, of the Mexican and Southwestern peoples, and of the European immigrant groups who came after 1860. The various essays and the introduction argue that the vision of these people as well as that of thousands of less well known community builders, artists, workers and musicians constitute the humane past of our various ethnic groups; these visions may also constitute our hope for a future in a period of overcentralization, short fossil fuels, and loss of identity.

Schoolwomen of the Prairies and Plains
Author: Mary Hurlbut Cordier
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
Soon after the open spaces of Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa were settled in the mid 1800s by immigrants from the eastern United States and Europe, county schools were established in the region. By the 1890s these states boasted the highest rates of literacy in the United States. This study examines the women teachers who were responsible for educating the prairie children. This lively book draws on diaries, journals, letters, oral histories, and numerous period photographs to illuminate the schoolwomen's lives. In large part they were natives of the region, often teenaged girls away from home for the first time. They taught under difficult circumstances and struggled to meet their students' needs. They also used all the means at their disposal - summer institutes, normal schools, and even reading programs by mail - to upgrade their own educational credentials. Part One of the book examines the establishment of schools, teacher education, and working and living conditions. Part Two offers the narratives of five women's lives, from short-term teachers to career professionals. Their accounts provide an important addition to the professional heritage of women teachers.
