Title A name given to the resource "The Pioneer Zephyr - 1934" Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway 2004 Limited Edition Plate Description An account of the resource This 2004 limited-edition plate commemorated the Pioneer Zephyr, the diesel-powered streamline train that set the long-distance non-stop railroad record by running the 1015 miles from Denver to Chicago in 785 minutes on May 26, 1934. Across Nebraska and Iowa people flocked to stations and railroads to see the silvery train pass by at hitherto unseen speeds. Averaging 77.6 miles an hour, the streamliner topped 100 in its Great Plains run. In 1945 with 25 dollars in hand Bill Moore boarded the Zephyr in Nebraska to report for military service, setting off on his own for the first time in his life. A token of this experience, the plate was a gift to "all the BNSF people who worked injury free in 2004."

Title A name given to the resource Janice Cleary Description An account of the resource Janice M Cleary, a lifelong resident of Omaha, Nebraska, has always enjoyed music. Her father studied voice, and her parents sang in the St. John’s choir and hosted music parties in their family home. Janice became interested in ragtime in the late 1950s, and began collecting sheet music. At first, she limited her collection the works of Irving Berlin and ragtime tunes, but her passion for sheet music soon widened in scope. Her collection has grown to nearly 50,000 pieces of American popular music. Janice shared items from her collection that were either written by Omahans or were published in Omaha. Music by Maceo Pinkard, one time Omaha booking agent, music publisher, band leader and eventual composer of “Sweet Georgia Brown,” is just one of the artists in her collection. She also has the “Happy Feeling Rag” sheet music from the legendary Dan Desdunes and the “Omaha Blues” written by Effie and Charles Tyus. Before recorded music began to enter homes in the 1920s and 1930s, sheet music was the only way for individuals to enjoy popular music in their own homes. Pianos were popular entertainment sources for middle-class homes, and the American sheet music industry thrived during the latter half of the nineteenth century and the early decades of the twentieth. Popular jazz musicians borrowed heavily from African-American culture, and the industry often depended on stereotypical depictions of African Americans and African American culture in its music, lyrics, and artwork. Some of Mrs. Cleary’s items feature the stereotypical imagery of minstrelsy. Sources Referenced: Cook, Nicholas, and Anthony Pople, eds. The Cambridge History of Twentieth-Century Music.

Title A name given to the resource “I’m Free, Single, Disengaged, Looking For Someone to Love” Sheet Music Description An account of the resource This post-World War I foxtrot is about a person looking for a “sweetie” who would, “Buzz around me like a Bumble Bee”. The lyrics mention being blue and suffering sleepless nights, “Regretting the day that I was born” and pleading, “won’t someone come and take a chance with me”.  Near the end of the song the lyrics beg, “Lots of loving is what I crave, Love me when I’m dead and in my grave” implying this person is looking for a partner not just a quick romance. Within the song there are no clear clues as to the gender of this sad person looking for love in the transitional period immediately following World War I.  The cover of this sheet music shows a photograph of a woman seated at an upright piano in what is probably the home’s parlor. The parlor was the best room in the house and oftentimes contained a piano. The parlor functioned as the place where home entertainment, such entertaining guests and the playing of piano music, centered in the home. On the top of the piano is fancy decorative pottery and glassware that was popular in that period, signaling this room was reserved for the very best things a family possessed. The duos name’s Tyus and Tyus are superimposed on the piano scarf, which suggests the woman at the piano and the man standing at the right, are the composers. Janice Cleary who owns this amazing collection believes Effie and Charles Tyus were entertainers. The woman is wearing a typical dress from the immediate post World War I era yet the man is outfitted in a top hat and tuxedo. This implies by playing this song, the wider world of exciting entertainment enters a family’s parlor. The man is in blackface, which comes from the minstrel tradition where entertainers both African American and white would apply a layer of burnt cork, shoe polish, or other black substances to their faces and exaggerate their lips and other features with makeup. The use of Blackface reinforced negative stereotypes about African Americans. In the post World War I era, many people viewed these exaggerated images as factual rather than a farcical vehicle of popular entertainment.  Charles Jefferson Tyus wrote the lyrics and Effie Tyus wrote the music published by Tyus and Tyus Music Publishing Company. The song is copyrighted to Charles Jefferson Tyus Music Company, 2524 Patrick Avenue, Omaha Nebraska. The back page of the sheet music includes a promotion for forthcoming Tyus and Tyus Music Publishing Company songs. The listing includes, “I Just Can’t Live Without You, Dearie!”,  “I’m Tired Living in this Pig-Iron World Alone!”, “I’m Jazz Crazy, Too!”, and “I Want to Go Back to the Farm!”.

Hello, and welcome to today's History Harvest Minute. In this History Harvest Minute, we explore stories from around the nation, collected by students and community history harvesters. Today we travel to Nebraska City, Nebraska, where Bill Hayes shares a letter written by Samuel L. Roberts, of the 15th Iowa Volunteer Infantry Regiment. Robert's letter to his father gives special insight into soldier life during the Civil War. Written in July of 1864, near the site of the battle of [--] Mountain, the letter begins with an apology for not having written home in a while, because he did not have paper or stamps. But his letter is mostly filled with elaborate details of recent battles. In four pages, Robert tells of each movement made by his regiment, the reactions of the Confederate soldiers and the wounds sustained by his comrades. [battle sounds] Narrator 1: "He describes the fighting, quite a bit what's going on, and describes who's wounded and everything. And he mentions people he knows and friends" Narrator 2: "He does describe the fight. And he describes it in some horrifying detail. 'Our brave boys fell like grass before the [--]'" Roberts ends the letter with a request to his father to write back soon. That is all for today's History Harvest Minute.

The pennny once belonged to Mr. Taylor's maternal great-grandmother, and has been passed down from generation to generation as a symbol of liberty and the meaning of emancipation. Taylor: "It's kinda unnusual for a slave to have a penny [in that period]. She hid it until [--] passed away." Mr. Taylor also told us a little about what kind of penny it is. Taylor: "[-----] and I don't know what that would be for this. I'll take it to a coin shop one of these days to see."
