; B* j* I, ]7 y/ |0 E7 J& {% X& vWood was born in 1881 in Iowa爱荷华州 farm country and became interested in art very early in life. Although he (started) studied art (involves) in both (many applicants) Minneapolis and (artists to) at the Art Institute of Chicago, the strongest influences on his art were European. (especially) He spent time in both Germany and France and (he started) his study there helped (he) shape his own stylized form of realism. % A, o' J7 O7 g% i/ e3 f

(stylized degree) stylistic realism he had learned in Europe to the rural life he saw around him and that he remembered from his (child who) childhood around the (turning) turn of the century. His portraits of farm families imitate the static (form realism) formalism of the photographs of the early settlers (supposed) posed in front of their homes. His paintings of farmers (and) at work and of their tools and animals demonstrate the serious respect for the life (for) of the Midwestern United States. By the 1930s, Wood was a leading figure of the school (that was) of art called ‘American Regionalism’ .
- p" [" V5 b" C8 S9 e: L5 \: Y ( o  O2 L2 a7 H) w8 Y# S
In an effort to sustain a strong Midwestern (artists) artistic movement, Wood established an institute of Midwestern art in his home state. Although (they were trailed) the institute failed, the painting (to say) you are about to see preserve Wood’s vision of pioneer farmers.

Let's proceed to the main exhibit hall and look at some of the actual vehicles that have played a prominent role in speeding up mail delivery. Consider how long it used to take to send a letter across a relative short distance. Back in 1600's it took two weeks on horseback to get a letter from Boston to New York, a distance of about 260 miles. Crossing a river was also a challenge. Ferry service was so irregular违规的 that a carrier would sometimes wait hours just to catch a ferry. For journeys inland, there was always the stagecoach 公共马车, but the ride was by no means 决不 comfortable because it had to be shared with other passengers. The post office was pretty ingenious about some routes. In the 19 century, in the Southwestern desert, for instance, camels骆驼 were brought in to help get the mail through. In Alaska, reindeer were used. This practice was discontinued because the disagreeable temperament 易激动, 急躁of these animals.

In today’s class, we’ll be examining some 19C pattern books that were used for building houses. I think it’s (dare) fair to say that these pattern books were the most important influence on the design of the north American houses during the 19 century. % M; Q9 k" J$ w9 ^5 _: }
# M# |' e; P' |8 P
This was because most people who wanted to build a house couldn’t ford to (hare) hire an architect. Instead, they bought a pattern book, picked (up) out the plan and took it to the builder. The difference (of course) in cost was substantial. In 1870, for example, hiring an architect would cost about a hundred dollars. At the same time, a pattern book written by an architect cost only five dollars.
( v+ J3 {4 o8 @5 x& E; p7 D9 p# ~ ( O% U5 p6 ^- u/ H
At that price, it is easy to see why pattern books were so popular. (Summer) Some are back in print again today. And of course, they cost a lot more than they did hundred of years ago. But (there) they are invaluable resource for historians and also for people who restore old houses. I have a modern reprint here (but) that I’ll passing around the room (at) in a moment, so that everyone can have a look.

Today I want to talk about some other women who’ve contributed to American history-some famous and some (non-famous) not-so-famous. The first woman (that) I’d like to talk about is Molly Pitcher. Those (we) of you who are familiar with the name (they) may know her as a hero (in) of the American revolution. But in fact, there never was a woman named Molly Pitcher. Her real name was actuarially Mary Ludwig Hays. She got a (make name) nickname外号 Molly Pitcher for her acts of bravery (doing in) during the revolutionary war. 8 p* S' |% a  G1 `8 }& q

Anyway, in the summer of 1778, (as) at the battle of Monmouth, it was a blistering酷热的 hot day, may be over a hundred degrees, and fifty soldiers died of thirst during the battle. Molly wasn’t content to stay back at camp. Instead, she ran (to) through gunshots and cannon大炮

They say she was so well-liked by the other soldiers that they called her Sergeant警官 Molly. In fact, legend has it that the Gorge Washing himself gave her the special military title.
