SUMMARY:Vaquero: The Genesis of the Texas Cowboy
DESCRIPTION:“Vaquero” was created by the Wittliff Collections at the Alkek Library\, Texas State University-San Marcos\, presented in partnership with Humanities Texas. It features sixty-two digital carbon prints with bilingual narrative text that reveal the muscle\, sweat and drama that went into roping a calf in thick brush or breaking a wild horse in the saddle. The exhibit traces the long history of vaqueros\, or cowboys\, into the earliest phases of westward expansion onto this continent\, and the legacy of early cowboys in the development of western locales like central Nebraska. Paired with this traveling exhibit is a Buffalo County rodeo history display that keeps the equine theme alive. \nThe exhibit opens to the public at 5 p.m. on May 1 and runs through June 15. \nMuseum hours are Monday-Saturday 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. and Sunday 1 – 5 p.m. Admission is $10 for the general public\, $5 for children 3-12\, and free for children 2 and under and for members.

SUMMARY:Opening Plenary Session: Ann Lundberg
DESCRIPTION:Kick off the 70th Annual Willa Cather Spring Conference with a talk from Ann Lundberg\, English professor and longtime interpretive ranger\, about Cather at Mesa Verde. \nAs a professor of American Literature\, Ann studies the literature of geological and archeological exploration of the American West in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century\, and how it works to define national identity.

She has long maintained an interest in Willa Cather and her depiction of place\, both the prairies of Nebraska and the canyons and cliff dwellings of the Southwest. \nThis event is free to attend thanks to the generosity of Humanities Nebraska and the Nebraska Cultural Endowment.
