[font=Tahoma][size=12pt]Let us [color=red]proceed to the main exhibit[/color] hall and look at some [color=red]of the actual [/color][b]vehicles[/b] that [b]have[/b] played [color=red]a prominent[/color] role in [color=red]speeding up [/color]mail delivery. Consider how long it used to take to send a letter across a relatively short distance. Back in [color=red]the[/color] 1600s, it took two weeks on horseback to get a letter from Boston to New York, a distance [color=red]of [/color]about [color=red]260[/color] miles. Crossing a river was also a [b]challenge[/b]. Ferry service was so irregular that [color=red]a carrier[/color] [color=red]would sometimes[/color] wait hours [color=red]just[/color] to catch a ferry. For[color=red] journeys inland[/color], there was always the [color=red]stagecoach[/color], but the ride was by no means comfortable, because it had to [color=red]be shared[/color] with other passengers. The post office was pretty [color=red]ingenious[/color] about some [color=red]routes[/color]. In the nineteenth century, in the [color=red]Southwestern[/color] desert, for instance, camels [color=red]were[/color] brought in to help [color=red]get the mail through[/color]. In [b]Alaska[/b], [color=red]reindeer were[/color] used. This practice was [color=red]discontinued[/color], because of [color=red]disagreeable temperament[/color] of these animals. We will stop here [color=red]a[/color] [color=red]minute[/color] [color=red]so that [/color]you can [color=red]enter this replica [/color]of a railway mail car. It was during the [color=red]Age of the Iron Horse[/color] that delivery really [color=red]started[/color] [color=red]to[/color] pick up. In fact, the United States transported most [color=red]bulk[/color] mail by train for nearly one hundred years. The first airmail service didn’t start until 1980. Please take a few moments to look around. I hope [color=red]you’ll[/color] enjoy your tour. [color=red]And as you continue on your own,[/color] may I suggest you visit our impressive [color=red]philatelic[/color] collection. Not only can you [color=red]look at[/color] [color=red]some of the more[/color] unusual [color=red]stamps [/color]issues, but there is[color=red] an interesting[/color] exhibit on how stamps are made.[/size][/font]

[font=Tahoma][size=12pt]City planning[/size][/font]fSZQ8f:I;QsZR
[font=Tahoma][size=12pt]Today, [color=red]we’ll[/color] [color=red]examine[/color] the role [color=red]that private transportation[/color], namely the automobile, plays in city planning. A number of [b]sociologists[/b] blame the automobile for the decline of downtown areas [color=red]of[/color] major cities. In the [color=red]1950s[/color] and [color=red]1960s[/color], the automobile made it possible [color=red]to[/color] work in the city and [color=red]yet[/color] live in the [b]suburbs[/b] [color=red]many[/color] miles away. Shopping patterns changed: instead of [color=red]patronizing[/color] downtown [color=red]stores[/color], people in the suburb went to large shopping malls outside the city and [color=red]closer[/color] to home. [color=red]Merchants[/color] in the city failed and their stores closed. Downtown shopping areas became deserted. In recent years, there has been a [b]rebirth[/b] of the downtown [color=red]areas[/color] as many [color=red]suburbanites[/color] have moved back to the city.
[-mXEU[
They have done this, of course, to avoid highways [color=red]clogged[/color] [color=red]with[/color] [color=red]commuters[/color] [color=red]from[/color] the suburbs. I have chosen this particular city planning problem: our dependence on private transportation to discuss in groups. I am hoping you all will come [color=red]up[/color] with some [color=red]innovative[/color] solutions. Oh, and don’t approach the problem from a [color=red]purely[/color] [b]sociological[/b] perspective; try to take [color=red]into[/color] account environmental and [color=red]economic[/color] issues as well.[/size][/font]QhR{}1v7l-SG

[font=Tahoma][size=12pt]Before we begin our tour, I’d like to give you some background information [color=red]on[/color] the painter [color=red]Grant[/color] [color=red]Wood[/color]. We’ll be seeing much of his work today. Wood was born in 1881 in [color=red]Iowa[/color] [color=red]farm[/color] country and became interested in art very early in life. Although he studied art in both [color=red]Minneapolis[/color] and [color=red]at[/color] the Art [b]Institute[/b] of [b]Chicago[/b], the strongest influence[color=red]s[/color] on his art [color=red]were[/color] European. He spent time in [color=red]both[/color] Germany and France and [color=red]his study there[/color] helped [color=red]shape[/color] his own [color=red]stylized[/color] [color=red]form[/color] [color=red]of[/color] [color=red]realism[/color].

When he returned to [color=red]Iowa[/color], Wood [color=red]applied[/color] [color=red]this stylized realism[/color] he had learned in Europe to the rural life he saw around him and [color=red]that [/color]he remembered from his childhood [color=red]around[/color] the turn of the century. His [b]portraits[/b] of farm families [color=red]imitate the static formalism[/color] of [color=red]photographs of early settlers posed[/color] in front of their homes. His paintings of farmers at work and [color=red]of [/color]their tools and animals demonstrate [color=red]a [/color]serious respect [color=red]for the life[/color] of the Midwestern United States. By the 1930s, Wood was [color=red]a[/color] leading figure of the[color=red] school of art [/color]called “[color=red]American[/color] [color=red]Regionalism[/color]”. In an effect to sustain [color=red]a strong Midwestern artistic movement[/color], Wood established [color=red]an institute of the Midwestern art [/color]in his home state. Although the institute failed, the paintings you are about to see preserve Wood’s [color=red]vision[/color] of [color=red]pioneer[/color] farmers.[/size][/font]

[font=Tahoma][size=12pt]Building[/size][/font]Y+ip]{
[font=Tahoma][size=12pt]In today’s class, we’ll be[b] examining[/b] some nineteenth century pattern books that were used for building houses. I think it’s fair to say that these pattern books were the most important influence on the design of North American houses during the nineteenth century. This was because most people who wanted to build a house couldn’t afford to hire an architect. Instead they bought a pattern book, picked[color=red] out a [/color]plan and took it to builder. The difference in cost [color=red]was [/color][b]substantial[/b]. In 1870, for example, hiring an architect would’[color=red]ve[/color] cost about [color=red]a[/color] hundred dollars. At the same time, a pattern book [color=red]written[/color] by an architect cost only five dollars. At that price, it’[color=red]s[/color] easy to see why pattern books were so popular. Some [color=red]are back in print again[/color] today and of course they cost a lot more than they did a hundred years ago. But they’[color=red]re an[/color] invaluable resource for [b]historians[/b] and also for people who restore old houses. I have a modern reprint here [color=red]that[/color] I’ll [color=red]be passing[/color] around [color=red]the room in a moment [/color]so that everyone can have a look.[/size][/font]UUMpPm U?

[font=Tahoma][size=12pt]Last week we talked about AB and the role of women in [color=red]Puritan colonies[/color]. Today I want to talk about some other women who’[color=red]ve[/color] contributed to American History, some famous and some not-so-famous. The first woman I’d like to talk about is [color=red]Molly Pitcher[/color]. Those of you who are familiar with the name may know her [color=red]as[/color] a hero [color=red]of[/color] the American Revolution. But in fact there never was a woman named M P. Her real name was[color=red] actually[/color] [color=red]Mary Ludwig Hays[/color]. She got the [color=red]nickname[/color] Molly Pitcher for her [color=red]acts of bravery[/color] during the Revolutionary War. As the story goes, when Mary’s or Molly’s husband [color=red]John Hays enlisted in artillery,[/color] Mary followed like many other wives did. She helped out doing washing and cooking for the [b]soldiers[/b]. She was known[color=red] to be [/color]a pretty unusual woman. She smoked a [color=red]pipe[/color] and chewed [b]tobacco[/b]. Anyway, in the summer of 1778, [color=red]at[/color] the battle of M, it was a [color=red]blistering[/color] hot day, maybe over a hundred degrees and [color=red]fifty[/color] soldiers died [color=red]of[/color] [color=red]thirsty[/color] during the battle. Molly wasn’t [color=red]content to[/color] stay back [color=red]at a camp[/color]. In stead, she ran through [color=red]gunshots[/color] and [color=red]cannon fire[/color], carrying water [color=red]in pitchers [/color]from a small stream[color=red] out to the thirsty[/color] American soldiers. The relief that she brought[color=red] with her pitches of water[/color] gave her the [b]legendary [/b]nickname Molly Pitcher. The story also says that she continued to load and fire her husband’s cannon after he was [b]wounded[/b]. They [color=red]say[/color] that she was so [color=red]well[/color] liked by[color=red] the [/color]other soldiers that they call her” [color=red]Sergeant[/color] Molly”. In fact, legend has it that [b]George[/b] Washington himself gave her the special military [b]title[/b]. [/size][/font]}jk(P

[font=Tahoma][size=12pt]Yellowstone[/size][/font][font=Tahoma][size=12pt] National Park[/size][/font][font=Tahoma][size=12pt][/size][/font]
"nM9jDO$`
[font=Tahoma][size=12pt]Welcome to Yellowstone National Park. Before we [color=red]begin[/color] our nature walk today, I’d like to give you a short history[color=red] of our[/color] National Park Service. The National Park Service began in late 1800s. A small group of explorers had just completed a month-long exploration [color=red]of [/color]the region that [color=red]is now[/color] Yellowstone. They gathered around [color=red]a campfire [/color]and after hours of discussion, they decided [color=red]that they should not claim[/color] this land for themselves. They felt it should be accessible to everyone. So they began a [b]campaign[/b] to preserve this land for everyone’s enjoyment. Two years later, in the late nineteenth century, [color=red]an act of Congress signed by[/color] President [color=red]Ulysses S Grant[/color] [color=red]proclaimed[/color] the Yellowstone region [color=red]a public [/color]park. It was the first National Park in the world. After Yellowstone became a [color=red]public[/color] park, many other areas[color=red] of great scenic importance[/color] were set aside. And in [color=red]1916[/color], [color=red]the[/color] National Park Service was established to manage these parks. As a park [color=red]ranger[/color], I am [color=red]an[/color] employee of the National Park Service. In a National Park, park rangers are [color=red]on duty at all times[/color] to answer questions and help visitors in any difficulty. [color=red]Nature walks, guided tours and campfire talks[/color] are offered by specially [color=red]training staff members[/color]. The Park Service also protect[color=red]s[/color] the animals and [color=red]plants[/color] within the park[color=red]s[/color].[/size][/font]
