SUMMARY:Cowboys and Cowgirls: Icons of the American West - Surprise
DESCRIPTION:Cowboys and Cowgirls: Icons of the American West\nFew symbols have been more durable than the American cowboy. This program will give an overview of this populist figure\, whose image was first defined by painters Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell. Also important to the story are brave cowgirls and the Mexican vaqueros. Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show showcased mythic cowboy culture\, with singing cowboys\, pretty girls on horses\, and plenty of Indians in his internationally popular extravaganzas that for many defined the American West. Arizona’s contribution to this chronicle is significant\, and includes Lon Megargee (the state’s original cowboy artist). Contemporary artists continue to portray this tradition. \nBetsy Fahlman is Professor of Art History at Arizona State University. An authority on the art history of Arizona\, her books include New Deal Art in Arizona (2009) and The Cowboy’s Dream: The Mythic Life and Art of Lon Megargee (2002). She is the author of two essays in catalogues published in 2012 by the Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff: “New Women\, Southwest Culture: Arizona’s Early Art Community” (in Mary-Russell Ferrell Colton: Artist and Advocate in Early Arizona) and “Making the Cultural Desert Bloom: Arizona’s Early Women Artists” (in Arizona’s Pioneering Women Artists: Impressions of the Grand Canyon State).

SUMMARY:In the Footsteps of Martha Summerhayes - Surprise
DESCRIPTION:Martha Summerhayes was a refined New England woman who entered the Arizona Territory in 1874 as the young bride of an Army Lieutenant. Traveling in horrific conditions and dreadful heat\, she soon despised the wild and untamed land. She gave birth to the first anglo child born at Fort Apache where the native women took her under their care. Gradually\, Martha’s attitude towards the desert changed and she soon came to love the starry nights\, the clear air\, and the simplicity of its inhabitants. She wrote about her experiences in the classic book\, “Vanished Arizona”\, still in print since 1908. Ranney has a personal connection to the Summerhayes family\, which he shares in the lecture. \nWayne Ranney has lectured on all seven of the Earth’s continents. With a lifelong interest in the natural and earth sciences\, he specializes in making the fascinating story of our planet come alive for audience members. He is a retired professor of geology but still teaches an occasional course at Northern Arizona University. He is passionate about sharing his vast knowledge of earth history with others in an easy and informal style\, and is a well-respected author of numerous award-winning books and articles. He enjoys anything that allows him to to get outdoors with others to enjoy the varied and interesting landscapes of this beautiful world.
