i got a good look at the links on the wikipedia page about emerson hough, there were 5 but i only liked 4 of them. project gutenberg doesn't list all of his books, and it's harder to select his listing as it's one big scroll. 'covered wagon' is missing, which became a movie. big omission! where's imdb when you need it? i liked world cat more, showing the most widely held works about hough. i have 2 of these bios, the one by delbert wylder and the auto-biography as well. though one of them listed is the covered wagon movie, not ABOUT hough! then it goes to the most widely held books by hough, which is nice as it lists how many editions, how many libraries have it, and the beginning and end dates of these editions. there is also a description of the content for some of the books. it then gives related identities, either those he wrote about or worked with, like bobbs-merrill, a publisher.
next is the collections held at the u. of wyoming, and u. of iowa. made sense for both universities to have some of hough's papers. he attended one, and of course yellowstone park is in the same state as the other. though it says the wyoming collection is no longer being maintained, unsure what this means for sure. it states what is included in the collection, and a brief bio of hough after it. the iowa collection is a larger article, 9 pages. i like how there is a picture of hough on the first page, next to a covered wagon. looks like the same photo in the book covered wagon. also has a brief bio, then the box contents list. finally is emerson hough's american west, a 10-page article by carole johnson from books at iowa 21, published in november 1974. i think i had seen this one before, as it mentions how he sadly didn't enjoy a big success for long. he died just a week after seeing the chicago premiere of the movie covered wagon, based on his 1922 book. the first page has covers of 6 of his books. the last 3 pages are just the bibliography.
i still don't like how it's hard to find mention of certain important things that are his legacy. i again mean in his hometown, like the school and the ike's chapter. most are just covering the man, and it would be nice to see mention of the two stories together.
not too much to say about work today, though it was nice to see my 'work spouse' show up for a half day, must have been after an appointment. i showed her a gift card i had ordered through our reward plan. it is for barnes and noble, i go there but go to borders more often. both are nice stores. the card had a caricature of shakespeare on it. hard to say what i will get with the card, though i noticed an auto-biography of theodore roosevelt at one of their nearby stores. i liked his lively spirit, known for saying things like 'speak softly and carry a big stick'. i like one quote about him, by one of his opponents, after he became president due to mc kinley's death by assassination. 'great, now that damned cowboy is president of the united states'. i saw theodore roosevelt island in washington, dc, in my last visit a year ago. and who could forget ways he keeps showing up in pop culture? robin williams played him in 'night at the museum'. truly one of a kind, a legend- then and now. a classmate called me a legend, since i did things my own way. some call this being a 'maverick'. it's the only way to be truly successful, going with a game plan
that works for you personally.
