SUMMARY:Second Sunday: How to Study and Learn about the Battle of the Little Big Horn
DESCRIPTION:Turn out to learn about the Battle of the Little Big Horn from 7th Cavalry and Sioux\, Cheyenne\, and Arapahoe perspectives\, but more importantly how to study and learn about the Battle while also learning how to avoid falling into the traps of Battle myths. During Terry’s talk\, you’ll also gain an appreciation of many different perspectives of the times and theatre by learning about the tribes and people\, business and government interests\, and the sweeping\, rapid changes that took place while also learning about tactics\, conditions\, and harsh realities of those times and events that happened along the way to the road to the Battle of the Little Big Horn. \nOur presenter for today’s talk is Terry Oswald\, Omaha Westerner’s Corral and Little Big Horn Associates Member. Terry has been a student of the Battle of the Little Big Horn since happening upon the Battlefield by chance in 1991. Terry’s studies include visits to nearly every Battlefield and historic fort and site in the north central plains region\, study completed through the reading of more than 100 texts on the Battle and publication of nearly 75 summaries and views on the most respected and famous Battle texts. \nIn addition to being a decidedly hooked\, if not obsessed\, student of the Battle\, Terry also distinguished himself by being the organizer of the historic archive of the construction of the Nebraska State Capitol Building by creating the first plan and systems to organize that collection consisting of fabulous architectural models\, renderings\, and correspondence generated through the efforts of Architect Bertram Goodhue and many others.   Terry also boasts of having toured the famous Jules Sandoz Ranch with none other than Old Jules’ then 80-plus year-old daughter in 1995 named Flora who drove Terry across the ranch in her old pickup truck\, rifle bouncing on the floorboard\, sharing family stories and more as they crossed the rolling hills and sandhills prairie…as he visited Mari’s grave after traveling there on one of his iron ponies – a motorcycle which Terry uses oftentimes to visit sites as diverse as the grave of Chief Red Cloud to Devil’s Tower all while imagining what it must have been like to be in the unsettled west alone on a horse. \nJuly 10 at 2:00 p.m. \nGross Auditorium at College of Saint Mary \nFree to DCHS members; $5 for non-members \nCall 402-455-9990 for reservations or email members@douglascohistory.org

SUMMARY:Second Sunday: Movie Media and the Metro
DESCRIPTION:Did you know Omaha was once a huge force in the Hollywood film industry? \nFEPCO and Modern Sound Pictures…names once common in the film industry that are now lost to time. For a large portion of the 20th century\, these Omaha-based companies dominated the industry that produced “movie papers\,” which was everything needed to successfully promote a Hollywood production. Both of these companies were early pioneers in their respective corners of the market\, and both were confronted by industry challenges including fickle audiences and evolving technology. What happened to these homegrown Hollywood titans? \nIn their talk Movie Media and the Metro\, Kelli Bello\, Firehouse Letterpress archivist\, will explain how Omaha became known as a major distribution hub of Hollywood film and promotional materials from the 1920s-1980s. She’ll share pieces from the shop’s extensive collection of vintage film and projection equipment\, press kits\, posters\, and letterpress advertising blocks. Shop owner Larry Richling will discuss how he managed to acquire such a rare collection and his plans to share it with the world. \nKelli Bello is the current Community Outreach Coordinator for Douglas County Historical Society. Prior to joining DCHS\, she spent 18 months learning the lost art of letterpress printing utilizing the film advertising blocks and antique printing presses in the Firehouse Letterpress collection. It was her personal connection to these pieces that led her to dig deeper into their origin. In her research\, a fascinating story with dynamic local characters unfolded. Prior to joining DCHS and the Firehouse Letterpress\, Kelli worked in non-profit development for Special Olympics Nebraska and the Joslyn Castle and Gardens\, where she currently serves on the board of directors. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism from San Diego State University. She is originally from California\, but Kelli\, her husband Brian\, and their three daughters now call Omaha home. \nLarry Richling is the owner of the Firehouse Letterpress\, which was recently relocated to historic downtown Council Bluffs from the basement of Hollywood Candy. Larry grew up in Omaha\, and has been a life-long collector. He started his collecting with an interest in Pez candy dispensers….and now is the owner of thousands of the little machines. He is also a fan of vintage soda fountain and circus equipment and ephemera\, as well as all things Hollywood-related. He recently sold Hollywood Candy\, which he founded and owned for 13 years\, and is now focusing on his next dream of owning a vintage letterpress print shop. This allows him to share his massive collection of Hollywood advertising blocks and equipment with the public. Of course\, also in Firehouse Letterpress resides a soda fountain and a movie theater. Larry and his wife Mary recently moved to Council Bluffs\, and enjoy their winters at their home in Florida. \nSeptember 11 at 2:00 p.m. \nGross Auditorium at College of Saint Mary \nThis installment of Second Sunday is presented FREE to the public\, thanks to underwriting provided by the Dr. C.C. and Mabel Criss Memorial Foundation and Humanities Nebraska! \nCall 402-455-9990 x102 for reservations or email admin@douglascohistory.org \n
