LESSON 8 CAMIO

Cornell University Library  is the proud owner of  the audiograph card

I learned his Indian Name  Tatanka Iyotake.  I also learned that he not only led the Sioux into Battle but he led the Cheyenne  in the Battle of Little Big Horn which is the battle that wiped out Custer and the 7th Calvary.  I find it strange that he was not jailed when he was captured but allowed to tour with Buffalo Bill Cody.  He was killed resisting arrest for not wanting to let go of sacred traditions.

  I also learned that it was part of   part of the Native American Collection. (NAC)  and it had been  digitized for the Vanished Worlds, Enduring People exhibition.  The  autograph card has an envelope to go with it which I think makes the card more valuable.

I think its sad that he was arrested for not giving up his traditions. It makes you wonder if shooting him was just away to get rid of the famous Chief.

  I searched South Dakota History.  There were 1545 titles that came up.    Most of these are made up of papers sent from one person to another.  One details a letter (Letter to Dr. Crouch : San Benito, Texas, 1916 Oct. 15)    Sending the skull of a Mexican bandit killed by SD Calvary.  University of California Berkley holds these papers which are part of a History of War in Mexico. 

I narrowed my search to Laura Ingalls Wilder.  I've always loved her books.    The first Article I chose was Letters, 1945-1952.  These letters were between  Laura and  Clarence Kilbourn of Malone N.Y.  (Almanzo's hometown).  New York State Historical Documents---Location: Franklin County Historical and Museum Society,, Malone, NY.  There are five documents in this collection of letters talking about farm life and life in Malone New York.

My next article is Laura Ingalls Wilder family correspondence, 1861-1919 [electronic resource]. which are letters written to  relatives of Laura's mother Caroline.  The letters contain correspondence during the war and after.  The Wisconsin Historical Society hosts it.

I was disappointed in this search that I did not find any of Laura's papers hosted in SD.    Maybe I need to dig deeper.

Camio

Paul Revere tells the Story of Revolutionary times.  His artistry has also  withstood time with all of the silver ware(s) he has made.  I looked at examples of both his depiction of the Boston  Massacre and Silver Service

 For some reason my pictures would not uploadto the blog. 

When I typed in Sioux  I came with many pictures of items from the Sioux Culture.  Items such as pipes, portraits, pouches, dolls, pictures of sacred ceremonies and quilts.

 One of things I found was this baby bonnet.

and this  double saddle bag. 

This is a wonderful way for people to grasp the contributions and traditions of the Native Americans in South Dakota.

  In searching Monet  he  appears to be a daring artist.  In one picture he put flags on both sides of the subjects which (*I don't know why) was daring in that day and time.  He also painted most of his pictures in watercolors.  He traveled extensively throughout Europe finding his inspirations for his paintings. 

He painted the Water Lilies at his residence South of Paris.   This was painted during the last 30 years of his life.  IN this painting he used Oil on Canvas.  Most of his paintings during this time were of the lily pad that was located on his residence.

We can make this available to members of our community who are interested in art and are also interested in purchasing prints of paintings.

I saved pictures of Irish landscapes to my favorites.  The first one I chose was a watercolor of an Irish Cottage.  I am drawn to the bright colors of the picture.   My next one was  A road in Ireland.  it gave me a glimpse of what life in Ireland was in the past.   My third one was Irish Landscape.  I am part Ireland and I would love to see Ireland.  by choosing these pictures I get a little taste of Ireland.    My fourth picture is Morning Early, figures  fishing  cattle and landscape.   The picture below is of the Irish Landscape. 

Camio is an excellent resource when looking for pictures and items to include in reports and for those who are looking for information---like Paul Revere.
