Fred R. Harman Papers
General description of the collection: The Fred R. Harman papers include a completed World War II Veterans Survey questionnaire which traces Harman's military service and postwar activities and comments on various aspects of military life. He describes the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) training at Culver Military Academy, Culver, IN. He says that the American weapons were reliable and in ample quantity, but were underpowered compared to the Germans. Clothing was generally good and the 10 in 1 rations a vast improvement over the K and C rations. The supply service only faltered once in the fall of 1944 when Antwerp was not conquered on time and left the division reliant on gasoline from Normandy. Leadership in general was good, especially at the small unit level. Discipline was fairly and considerately enforced. Recreation consisted of sports, movies, and passes during stateside training but in combat, card playing was the only pastime. Morale depended on receiving mail in a timely fashion, and improved living conditions. American air superiority kept the unit safe. Friendly fire usually was the result of an accident and Harman gives an example of this.
Red Ryder and Little Beaver
Fred Harman, Jr. (1902-1982) rode onto newspaper comics pages with his dynamic range rider Bronc Peeler (1933-1938) and caught fire with daily and Sunday strips featuring hard-fisted Red Ryder and his sidekick Little Beaver (1938-1964). The duo appeared in comic books, prose books, radio and films. What boy didn't want a Daisy 111 Model 40 Red Ryder Western Carbine? Harman worked in a studio on his small ranch in Colorado. In his later years he turned to fine art and co-founded the Cowboy Artists of America. He helped create the Little Beavertown theme park near Albuquerque, New Mexico. Today his newspaper comics are often reprinted and his oil paintings are valued by collectors and may be seen in the Fred Harman Art Museum in Pagosa Springs. Bernard A. Drew, a journalist and freelance writer and historian, specializes in Berkshire County, Massachusetts, history and popular literature reference books. He previously wrote Jingle of the Silver Spurs: The Hopalong Cassidy Radio Program 1950-52 (2005) for BearManor Media. Other recent works include Henry Knox and the Revolutionary War Trail in Western Massachusetts (2012) and 100 Most Popular Contemporary Mystery Authors (2011).
Pagosa Springs
When the first government expeditions came through the southwest Colorado region, the Ute Indians were living in a wide area that included the hot springs that they had named Pah-gosa. The Army chose the hot springs as the first--though short-lived--location of Fort Lewis. After the Army left, forward-thinking speculators incorporated the town in 1891. These early settlers believed that the natural wonders nestled in the beauty of the San Juan Mountains could be developed into a world-class spa resort. Timber and ranching were the dominant industries and ways of life in the area throughout the 20th century. The images presented in this book feature these industries, as well as town businesses, churches, schools, surrounding forests, residents, events, and celebrations. Pagosa Springs has become the spa destination early settlers envisioned, yet it holds onto and celebrates its Western heritage.

Ferenc Morton Szasz: A Celebration and Selected Writings
"Ferenc Morton Szasz was a lifelong student who became a professor of history at the University of New Mexico. As a one-year appointment at the Albuquerque campus evolved into a forty-year career, Szasz glimpsed the predictable unpredictability that he would eventually discern as one of history's most enduring and elusive traits. The connections and consequences along the way forged a truly exceptional life and career. A master of the United States history survey, Szasz enthralled and inspired tens of thousands of students with energy, enthusiasm, provocative insights, and good will. Ambitious undergraduates regularly vied with graduate students for coveted seats in his upper level courses, ...
