the frontier had become an ak criteria anymorism. inspired by the success of a rodeo he staged at his north platte ranch, he originated his show. it combined rodeo elements with historical motifs from his stage plays such as the deadwood stage, the pony express, various animals from the west were brought east, put on display. frank north, sitting bull and buffalo bill himself. the cowboy once so -- such a pejorative term, became an american hero, the king of the cowboys, and johnny baker the cowboy kid. displays of marksmanship were provided by cody baker and annie oakley, little sure shot. as time passed, he would update these pageants over and over. he included the spanish-american war, the boxer rebellion and the philippine insurrection. events such as the attack on the deadwood stage and the first scalp for custer remained always part of the show. as you know, cody took his wild west to london where he became an international sensation. he gave the europeans just as he had given his own countryman a glimpse of the vanishing front

very few come to the last frontier hoping to live a life of luxury. we cherish the challenge of building a future in the most rugged, beautiful, and resource-laden subcontinent on earth. and what this pandemic has taught us is a hard lesson. in order to secure opportunity for our state and future alaskans, we must begin the process of building a sovereign that can weather any disaster thrown our way. whether it's food security, energy production, pharmaceuticals, or critical minerals, alaska has more potential than most independent countries. i'll never forget when i got the news last spring that the port of seattle was contemplating closure as a result of this virus. that was truly a wakeup call. ponder that for a moment. the most important port that serves alaska was contemplating closure as a result of the pandemic. you have to wonder, where would this have left us? at the same time our canadian friends to the east were beginning the process of closing their borders to the passage of goods, services, and people. for a few moments in time, it looked

lot about black cowboys from researchers, and other scholars like andrew skylar that wrote "black frontiersto 1900" to connect the old world with the new. they promoted the idea that the presence of africans was an important aspect again of cattle raising here in the united states. >> this is an image, again by richard slotta. he produced that image for a black past website. and he, of course, was a outstanding -- he is now ameritus in terms of talking about and writing about cowboys in the americas. that book if you have not seen it is a great compendium of what cowboy life was like from canada to argentina. he talks about idea after idea and sometimes he supports what has been said. sometimes he challenges what has been said. but his book, again, was so important and one of the things in the black west website, this is called cowboys of color and what he made an argument of is that in many cases if you look at the cowboy tradition in latin america, it was one of cowboys that were a mixed race. all part of that tradition that sometimes is erased because at some point in time various offici

the frontier experience, the ability to rely on ourselves and each other, is what gets us through everything from earthquakes to floods to volcanic eruptions, and the same goes for this pandemic. we don't run and hide as alaskan. we inherited that same mentality that helped build this country and helped build this great state, that we are going to come out on top matter what. i remember a meeting last spring with a few members of my amazing health team. we were on a video call with the owner of a manufacturing company in palmer. we dumped a bunch of ppe and testing supplies on a table and asked if it was anything here he could make. as we all know, he ended up making 100,000 swabs for testing when we had been the most. distillery stepped up and the began producing hansen a ties or. every day, alaskan's organized charity campaigns and food dries out of the goodness of their hearts. and he rose like jon sturgeon use their business connections overseas to secure an entire aircraft full of ppe, where every other state was struggling to sort supplies. the university of alaska graduated 260 nurses

shapes san antonio's character and its appearance and its very being was its isolation on the texas frontier where inland where a couple hundred miles from the texas coast, and the only way to reach san antonio was by ox cart from the texas coast, and that took a couple of it days when it wasn't raining. and when there wasn't mud. it was a very difficult city to get to until san antonio finally got a railroad in 1877, at which point san antonio began to explode. the tourism business was one of the first that took off because san antonio had been a familiar topic of magazines and other publications, periodicals in the united states. people, reporters would love to come to san antonio and report on what it looked like, and so there's a great awareness of this. this didn't totally please people like in houston where the railroad came from, and after the railroad came, one newspaper over there reported that hoards of people went to san antonio for a day to peep around and then come back and tell everyone how queer the city looked, and it did. it did. and that was a big attraction then and that h

i think most scholars suggest that texas being still a relatively frontiers state, and of course theplace of the alliance was out there in the western cross, riding out there, the area west of fort worth, which was just sort of emerging from each frontier state. i think the idea maybe was that people who ventured out there were maybe a little less bound by tradition, maybe a bit more free thinkers in some ways. certainly sam johnston, lyndon johnson's grandfather, fit this description. he ran cattle. he was a cattleman and ran cattle herds up and down the trail to kansas during the heyday, and took his wife with him. i think they may be tended to work outside the box a little bit. also, texas was not quite as enthrall into what stephen would recall the birth of southern history. even though the south was settled by southerners in the unpleasantness room, texans had their own history they could look at. they had the history of the texas revolution and the experiences in the republic and the frontier experience was much fresher in their minds. so i think that they were not quite as def
