Abstract:This article introduces the concept of memory anchors—tangible sites in which a formative portion of a person’s life story is rooted—to illustrate how some place memories remain vivid throughout a person’s lifetime, guide their interactions with others, and provide a foundation for their identity. Memory anchors are no doubt sprinkled across the Great Plains, especially among senior residents of the region who grew up prior to the proliferation of retail chain stores. For some senior citizens who grew up in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, the Eagle Café has worked as a memory anchor as they learned how the traditions and practices of Japanese Americans enhanced their understanding of the world around them. The lessons these individuals learned contributed to their self-described lifelong commitments to expanding their horizons, welcoming others, and forming bonds within and across communities. Their experiences also provide lessons for scholars seeking to excavate and archive memories about these vital sources of community identity across the Great Plains.

Abstract:During and following the decimation of the North American bison herds in the late nineteenth century, bison bones became a significant yet short-lived extracted resource. This article argues that while the gathering of bones on the prairies represents the endpoint of the once great herds, the story of bone hunting also aligns with industrial and settler colonial histories. Bone hunting proved a well-organized capitalist enterprise that fits within a broader story of industrial expansion and worker exploitation in the American West. An examination of bone hunters also reveals Native Americans, both on and off reservations, to be the primary laborers in the Great Plains, demonstrating continuity not only in their reliance on bison but also in their long history of adaptation to the American market economy. Bison bone hunting also played an important role in furthering the cause of settler colonialism through white imaginings of the West. Settler colonist memories of the enterprise largely supplanted the contributions of Native American bone hunters with stories of white bone hunter experiences of privation, exploitation, and bootstrapping.

Abstract:In the 1950s, Amarillo, Texas, was a sprawling, Cold War boomtown with an Air Force base and nuclear-weapons assembly plant. In this context, John Lawton McCarty, a legendary newspaperman and regional historian who first became famous for the "Last Man's Club" he formed during the Dust Bowl, purchased a square-mile section of land on the edge of the city, which he intended to turn into a mixed-use commercial and real-estate development called Estateland Center. Most of this ambitious development was never built, in large part because of two lawsuits that brought McCarty's budding real-estate empire crashing down by 1960. Nevertheless, the story of Estateland and McCarty's frontier-themed boosterism shows how the unbuilt environment of a Great Plains city illuminates deeper meanings of regional development. McCarty and his fellow boosters in the mid-twentieth-century Texas High Plains looked backward to frontier yesterdays while looking forward to urban tomorrows, envisioning nearly unchecked growth based on exploitation of land and underground water resources.
