Description
-
Professor Wiley, a noted Civil War scholar and author, has always been more interested in what he calls the plain people than in the leaders, the generals, or the politicians. Here he gives an informative and fascinating picture of the average Confederate soldier whose courage and fighting qualities sustained the South against great odds for four bloody years. Professor Wiley has read thousands of letters and diaries written by "Johnny Reb," and he uses quotations from many of them to describe in human terms what is all too often presented in abstract numbers. Thus we learn just who the men in gray were, what their backgrounds were and how old they were, what their uniforms were like and what they had to eat, their feelings of loneliness and their attitude of "Billy Yank," and their heroism--and fear--in battle. Through Professor Wiley's lively description, the impersonal armies of the South become peopled by colorful, often humorous, often courageous, and always human creatures. [Synopsis from "The History of American Civilization By Its Interpreters; A Student Guide to the Television Series" by James A. Bonar, Roger E. Willson, and The University of the State of New York] Tape is dated 1974/10/28, indicating that it is a dub of an earlier recording.

He cites three inspirations for becoming a Southern historian: William Faulkner and creative writers of the 1930s Southern Renaissance, Walter Prescott Webb, and ignorance about the South that he encountered in his travels.

A conversation which is mostly between Ervin Charles and Charles Thibodeau with Charles Prichard, Tary Owens and a few other unintroduced individuals playing and joining in on occasion. A party atmosphere as they hang out on Tary Owens' porch for the duration of this conversation. The recording begins with them playing the song Hollywood Bear Cat. Ervin talks about growing up and learning to play in Beaumont, Tx, his early gigs and stories about different clubs he played around Texas. Ervin talks about his first time playing an electric guitar and compares his learning the guitar to his son learning to play drums. Ervin and Thibodeau talk about how every crowd responds differently and how to gauge their reactions. The two men then discuss the difference between playing by ear and reading music.

Description
-
Lecture given by Dr. Webb for his "Great Frontier" video series. In this video he addresses the question, "Did the frontier alter institutions?" using the example of barbed wire in the American Midwest and, later, in the Great Plains. Dr. Webb traces the development of different fencing techniques used by settlers as they advanced into the American heartland during the mid and late nineteenth century. After experimenting with hedges as a replacement for stone or rails in areas where neither of these materials could be found, several inventors in a small town in Illinois introduced barbed wire in 1873. This material essentially solved the fencing problem on the frontier and helped pave the way for further westward movement.
