The Women Who Rode Miles on Horseback to Deliver Library Books


The Women Who Rode Miles on Horseback to Deliver Library Books - Librarians are amazing. BY ANIKA BURGESS AUGUST 31, 2017

I was looking for Erin Snell in the pictures… 

FTA: They were known as the “book women.” They would saddle up, usually at dawn, to pick their way along snowy hillsides and through muddy creeks with a simple goal: to deliver reading material to Kentucky’s isolated mountain communities.

The Pack Horse Library initiative was part of President Franklin Roosevelt’s Works Progress Administration (WPA), created to help lift America out of the Great Depression, during which, by 1933, unemployment had risen to 40 percent in Appalachia. Roving horseback libraries weren’t entirely new to Kentucky, but this initiative was an opportunity to boost both employment and literacy at the same time.

[…]

Old magazines and newspapers were cut and pasted into scrapbooks with particular themes—recipes, for example, or crafts. One such scrapbook, which still is held today at the FDR Presidential Library & Museum in Hyde Park, New York, contains recipes pasted into a notebook with the following introduction: “Cook books are popular. Anything to do with canning or preserving is welcomed.”

July 7, 1929 “Pleasure Crazed” movie set



July 7, 1929 “Pleasure Crazed” movie set.

Kevin Dayhoff February 5, 2019

This is a picture featuring an elegant art nouveau – art deco
entranceway from the set from an obscure black and white American movie, “Pleasure
Crazed,” which was released by Fox Film Corporation on July 7, 1929.

The movie was based upon “The Scent of Sweet Almonds” by
Monckton Hoffe and features themes involving a poor writer, con-artists, intrigue,
deception, infidelity, and suicide.

The 60-minute film was directed by Donald Gallaher and
Charles Klein and written by Douglas Z. Doty and Clare Kummer. The
cinematographers were Glen MacWilliams and Ernest Palmer. It was edited by J.
Edwin Robbins.

The melodramatic movie featured the work of Marguerite
Churchill, Kenneth MacKenna, Dorothy Burgess, Campbell Gullan, Douglas Gilmore,
and Henry Kolker.

The movie was made when the Great Depression was just beginning
and film design and technology were in its infancy. It was a time when art deco
was transitioning into ‘modernism,’ and many highly stylized movies and
literary works featured the excesses of the life of the rich and famous. In
retrospect, many historians view the era as an attempt to distract much of the
population from the rigors and depravations of the Great Depression.  

It is hard to find information about the movie. According to
the American Film Institute, an April 21, 1920 New York Times news item, “Fox
bought the rights to Monckton Hoffe's story, which was written as a play but
never produced. The same article included Earle Foxe in the cast, but his
appearance in the released film has not been confirmed…

“Alma Dean and her husband, Anthony, rent a house from a
trio of crooks who have the intention of stealing the wife's jewels. The female
member of the group remains in the guise of a housekeeper, and gradually she
and Anthony become very fond of each other.

“In the meantime, Alma is playing around with a poor writer,
and Anthony, miserable, leaves her, accidentally carrying away a flask
containing poison.

“Previously, the writer dared Alma to commit suicide, but
when she sees her husband take this very flask, she says nothing. The
"housekeeper," learning of the state of affairs, chases after Anthony
and wrecks her car at the garage where he is buying gasoline. The situation is
satisfactorily resolved…”

On Dec. 25, 2001, the Christian rock band, P.O.D. released “Youth of the Nation”



On Dec. 25, 2001, the Christian rock band, P.O.D. released “Youth of the Nation”

P.O.D. - Youth Of The Nation (Official Video)

By Kevin Dayhoff, assembled from multiple sources Dec. 26, 2018

On Dec. 25, 2001, the American Christian metal band, P.O.D. released “Youth of the Nation,” a single from the album “Satellite,” written by Noah Bernardo, Marcos Curiel, Traa Daniels, and Sonny Sandoval. For many historians, the song is accepted as an anthem of the era in its telling of three stories of adolescent tragedy in American culture.

If you check out the official Atlantic Records’ music video carefully, directed by Paul Fedor, Carhenge is used as a backdrop for parts of the chorus; and the book “On the Road” by Jack Kerouac can be seen on the dashboard of the car - https://youtu.be/EDKwCvD56kw. 

According to multiple sources, but best explained by Zachary Fenell, in “Alternative Rock Songs About Suicide,” October 11, 2010, “It begins by describing a teenager unknowingly skating to school only to be shot by a fellow student. Lyrics go on to speculate whether or not the boy who committed the act felt unloved. 

“Following the chorus, a 12-year-old girl called ‘little Suzie’ is depicted as having been abandoned by her father and subsequently ‘finding love in all the wrong places.’ 

“Finally, another teen known as ‘Johnny boy’ fails to fit in with his peers and ultimately commits suicide by firearm, ‘[telling] the world how he felt with the sound of a gat.’”

In an interview with Mitchell Blatt in 2008, “Back Together, New Album in April” Curiel said, "When you can hear something that's going to uplift you like 'Alive' or something that's going to bring out knowledge like 'Youth of the Nation,' we've done our jobs as an artist."

The Oct. 1, 1910 bombing of the Los Angeles Times killed 21 people

The Oct. 1, 1910 bombing of the Los Angeles Times killed 21
people

In its recent newsletter, the Society of Professional Journalists
has taken the opportunity to remind us about the Oct. 1, 1910 bombing of the Los Angeles Times building.

The 1910 bombing of the Los Angeles Times has been the
subject of books and film. By CAROLINA A. MIRANDA SEP 22, 2017 http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/miranda/la-et-cam-esotouric-los-angeles-times-bombing-20170922-story.html

The weapon: 16 sticks of dynamite and a windup alarm clock.

The target: The old Los Angeles Times building, an 1886
brick-and-granite edifice known as "the fortress," on Broadway and
First Street, across the street from where The Times is located today.

The bomber: J.B. McNamara, who was linked to an ironworkers
union that ordered the attack — part of a radical bombing campaign to go after
anti-union strongholds in the early days of the 20th century.

Twenty-one people died in the early hours of Oct. 1, 1910,
when the explosive device ripped an entire wing off The Times building. A night
editor and a telegraph operator were among the dead, and dozens of others were
wounded and maimed. A report published in The Times two days after the incident
described the scene as an "awful pit of death."

Heralded as the "crime of the century," the
bombing has been the subject of books (such as "Deadly
Times"
by Lew Irwin) and it has figured in documentaries (Peter Jones'
"Inventing L.A.: The Chandlers and Their Times").

Dayhoff: Historical markers dedicated for the Henryton Nursing School, Tuberculosis Sanatorium


Dayhoff: Historical markers dedicated for the Henryton
Nursing School, Tuberculosis Sanatorium

By Kevin Dayhoff May 22, 2016


About 50 folks huddled along the shoulder of Henryton Road
at the entrance of the historic Henryton State Hospital complex May 14 to
dedicate two roadside historic markers. The sun shined brightly on the
ceremonies in a rare reprieve in the recent streak of endless days of rainfall.

No, the celebrants were not there to dedicate an ark, but it
nearly took an act of God to get the state of Maryland to tacitly acknowledge
the very existence of the historic segregated facility for the treatment of
African Americans suffering from tuberculosis and the segregated nursing school
that was once located there — far out of sight of urban Baltimore and the seat
of state government in Annapolis.

Noted civil rights leader John Lewis Jr., the 2nd vice
president of the Carroll County NAACP, was the master of ceremonies. Other
community leaders, such as Pam Zappardino, Charles Collyer, Virginia and
Charles Harrison, Jean Lewis, Del. Susan Krebs R-District 5, the Rev. Douglas
Sands and Maryland NAACP president Gerald G. Stansbury were on hand to share in
the ceremonies.


This writer began looking into the history of the hospital
in the early 1970s when it caught my attention during an assignment to research
the history of hospitals in Carroll County for a project for what was
then-Carroll County General Hospital.

Over the years, researching the history of hospital has
difficult. What little information on the hospital that was found was often
conflicting, inconsistent, and only appeared in anecdotal accounts; often
without a comprehensive context. Many historians contacted in the 1970s were
barely aware of the facility.

Statues and statuesque in Carroll County

By Kevin E. Dayhoff – Eagle Archives, Carroll Eagle – Baltimore Sun. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archives-0621-20150619-story.html

Many would be surprised to learn that Blaze Starr, who passed away on June 15, is not the only creative statuesque figure with a Carroll County connection.

Another famous Carroll County artist, William Henry Rinehart, now has his works of sculpture on display at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore.

Starr was a famous stripper and burlesque performer, another exhibitor of sorts. According to an article in the Sun, "In her day [she] was perhaps Baltimore's best-known figure." She was "a successful businesswoman as owner of the 2 O'Clock Club on East Baltimore Street, [who] was so nonthreatening to local morals that she appeared in an advertising campaign for Baltimore Gas and Electric Co."

A national celebrity, many locales throughout the country claim her, including New Orleans, where she had a torrid affair with the then-governor of Louisiana, Earl Long.

While she began a lifelong relationship with Baltimore in 1950, many may not be aware that for many years she called Eldersburg, in southern Carroll County, her home.

An artist of many talents, she was a striking redhead who was friendly and talkative. She also owned a store at the then-Carrolltowne Center, where she sold her handmade jewelry. That was where this writer interviewed her on several occasions in the 1980s.

The work of Rinehart, meantime, can be "seen … in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the National Gallery of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Baltimore Museum of Art," according to the Walters Art Museum website.

Rinehart was born into a prosperous farming family in Union Bridge on Sept. 13, 1825 Read more here: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archives-0621-20150619-story.html

“Love Reconciled with Death” by William Henry Rinehart in Union Bridge



Reproduction of “Love Reconciled with Death” by Union Bridge native William Henry Rinehart Corner of North Main Street and East Broadway Kevin Dayhoff July 5, 2007

According to an undated brochure, “Union Bridge Walking Tour,” which I retrieved in June 2009:

“‘Love Reconciled with Death’ was sculpted by Union Bridge native William Henry Rinehart (1825-1874) as a memorial to the wife of Baltimore art connoisseur and philanthropist, William T. Walters.

“The original sculpture is located in Greenmount Cemetery in Baltimore. The memorial was selected by the Town of Union Bridge to be reproduced and installed in 2007 as a tribute to the sculptor.

“Rinehart was born into a farming family near Union Bridge and became known as one of America's most-skilled nineteenth-century sculptors. One of his best-known works is the relief known as The History of Justice on the bronze doors of the United States Senate Chamber in Washington.”

An earlier form of Rinehart's sensitive bust of his mother was the first evidence of the young artist's talent. After his mother's death in 1868, he sent home for the work and for one of her caps. The artist prepared several plaster-casts of the new bust for presentation to his brothers and a marble one for himself. This example was probably given to his older brother Evan Thomas who gave it to his daughter, the donor.
