My tiny workshop.
All these pieces of jewelry I designed around the ages of the recipients and the available materials, mostly scrap and odd bits left over from previous projects. I only bought new silver for Isabella's bangle
All the work was done with very strong craftsmanship.It stood the test of time and if it was sealed at the leaks ,I wouldn't be doing this job.
American Progress was a famous engraving of the period and may have been triggered by the concept and chatter of Manifest Destiny.

These engravings in Crofutt’s Grip-Sack Guide Colorado were probably collected from any handy but divergent source but I expect that some were produced by engravers at Overland Publishing Company (or the Tribune) in Omaha, Nebraska. It is always possible that they worked from photos but it seems more likely that they were transcribed from verbal descriptions. You decide.
Colorado was fortunate to have George A. Crofutt tour the state not only once but twice in the era of early Colorado Statehood. The "Encyclopedia" was published once it 1881 and again in 1885 during the bustle of mining activity while agriculture and business hustled to catch up. The raw dreams in a new land spurred the interest in the state and made the Grip-Sack Guides sought-after information for folks in the settled lands to the east.
The Grip-Sack Guide claims to be a "Complete 1885 Encyclopedia." All in black ink on white paper. The result is that this is a fine snapshot of early Colorado life, real and inflated. Regardless, this is a wonderfully informative source to understanding early statehood and it is fortunately once again available.

Several projects are underway on the University of Central Arkansas campus. The weight training facility at the Pepsi Center is nearing completion, while the new Bear Hall is taking shape. The dormitory will also house several offices for the athletics department and feature privately-sponsored skyboxes overlooking Estes Stadium. The city of Conway is also in the midst of widening Farris Road on the western border of the campus.

"They came in sight of the lions, but before they reached them, the boys, who had been walking in advance, suddenly fell back, at which Great-heart said, 'Ho ho! You love to go manfully ahead when there is no danger, but fall back quickly as soon as the lions appear.'"
