SUMMARY: Nugent’s first chapter defines his West as the Great Plains, the Mountain states, and the Pacific states including Alaska and Hawaii. By taking the broadest possible definition of the region, Nugent sets the course for his book. He intends not to omit any place or anyone in the West. The second chapter “From Time Immemorial to 1848” examines archaeological evidence and postulations about the migrations of paleo-Indians into the North American Continent, then lays out the story of Spanish settlement in New Mexico and California, and finishes with a discussion the French, British, and Russian Empires that America finally pushed out in 1848. The discussion of a wide variety of nations leads to a great diversity of names.

French Horn Jacob L Franks The French Horn, or Orchestral Horn, was first introduced in about 1650 in France and is a larger version of the smaller crecent-shaped horns that had been re-deisigned with circular coiled tubing. The early French hunting horn, which entered the orchestra in the early 1700’s, was rather one dimensional. It produced a total of 12 tones of the natural harmonic series. In 1753, a German musician called Hampel invented the means of applying movable slides (crooks) of various length that changed the key of the horn. In 1760, it was discovered rather then invented that placing a hand over the bell of the French Horn lowered the tone called stopping.

Music at the Turn of the Century While walking around the Stephenville Historical Museum there were two things in particular that caught my eye. They were both record players that dated back to the early 1900s, and one was even said to be from 1905.The phonograph was invented by Thomas Edison, patented in 1878, and comes from the Greek word meaning sound and is literally translated to phone. Also, instead of vinyls like we know today, cylindrical tin foil was used to make the disk that would produce sound. When lines and grooves were cut or etched onto the disk, a needle would trace over the lines and the vibration from this process created sound. Soon after the invention caught on, the tin foil was replaced by cylindrical cardboard coated in wax, and eventually vinyl which of course is still used today.
