Owosso - Downtown River View & History
In this video you are looking north from downtown off the Main Street Bridge in Owosso, Michigan. The river is the Shiawassee River - one of the few rivers in the Northern Hemisphere that flows north. In the upper left is Curwood Castle, which was built during 1922 and 1923 by Owosso native and world-renowned author, James Oliver Curwood. The great room of the castle was used by Curwood to entertain guests, and the castle's largest turret served as Curwood's writing studio. Curwood was a best-selling author of thirty-three novels, and the first author to make a million dollars from movies. More than 190 movies, short films and TV shows have been made of Curwood's books and stories, including The Bear. Curwood Castle is now a museum that contains period antiques, and Curwood books, photos, and movie posters. It also exhibits memorabilia from the life of another one of Owosso's great native sons, Thomas E. Dewey.
Owosso's Thomas E. Dewey, of course, was the famous lawyer, author, mob-busting District Attorney of New York City, three term Governor of New York State, and the Republican presidential nominee in 1944 and 1948. He is revered for running one of the most remarkably honest and effective state government administrations in history. He also passed America's first state law that banned discrimination in hiring.
Just south of Curwood Castle is Comstock Cabin. It is Owosso's first permanent dwelling, which was built in 1836 by Judge Elias Comstock. Comstock Cabin also now serves as a museum that holds period antiques.
On the south side of the Shiawassee River Walking and Bicycle Bridge is the Shiawassee Arts Council Gallery. (The white building on the left side of the screen.) The gallery exhibits two original oil masterpieces, and one original colored pencil masterpiece, by Owosso native Frederick Carl Frieseke - a man who, during his lifetime, became America's best known painter internationally and is today regarded as one of history's greatest artists. The gallery also exhibits and sells prints, original works of dozens of other artists, holds art classes, competitions, and has exhibitions scheduled throughout the year. The grounds surrounding the Gallery include the sculpture Renewal by Louis Marinaro.
One block to the west is the Shiawassee District Library Owosso, a Carnegie Library which contains another masterpiece, this one by another Owosso native and world-renown artist, Alice R. Fisher. The library also displays a magnificent bust of Owosso native, congressman and senator Charles A. Towne - The Cicero of the Senate and the only person to have served in the U. S. Congress from two different states.
The large brown brick building across the river is the old Owosso Armory - the second armory to have been built in Owosso. Since the 1860s, thousands of servicemen and women from Owosso have met the call and contributed greatly to defend America. Over the years, the Owosso Armory has also served as an entertainment venue and hosted many nationally-prominent swing and rock 'n roll bands.
Behind the Owosso Armory is the Owosso Middle School, which originally served as Owosso High School - a school that has educated nearly one hundred people from Owosso whose lives have made national and/or international impact - including a Nobel Prize winner, a Peabody Award winner, an Emmy Award winner, a Maxwell Award winner, a dozen world-renowned scientists, five university presidents, three generals, two admirals, famous athletes, radio and TV stars in the U. S. and Europe, famous ministers and a famous Rabbi, the originator of the homecoming tradition that spread to nearly all colleges and high schools throughout the United States, etc. Plus Owosso has two governors, a Medal of Honor winner, a Pulitzer Prize winner, the first woman to obtain a commercial chauffeur's license, a Miss Michigan, the designer of the Jefferson Nickel, a Playmate of the Month, a rock star, an American who was Germany's Woman of the Year, famous journalists and a cartoonist, over thirty-five best selling, award-winning and/or classic authors, several captains of industry, etc. All of this and much more from a small city of slightly over 14,000 citizens that is nearly surrounded by agriculture.
Along the banks of the river behind the Owosso Middle School is the Mitchell Amphitheater, which hosts concerts throughout each summer.
There is something very special about Owosso, Michigan.

McKinley Monument Flyover Nov 10th 2014
Flyover of the McKinley Monument in Canton, Ohio November 10th 2014.
The McKinley Monument, a landmark in the City of Canton, is the final resting place for the 25th President of the United States, William McKinley. Residents of Canton pass by the Monument or run up and down the 108 steps everyday. Traveling on Interstate 77, the Monument towers above the trees. But some may wonder: Why is such a magnificent building in Canton? The answer is quite simple. William McKinley was and is Canton's favorite son. While the President was born in Niles, Ohio, he called Canton home. After his death, it was fitting that the President be laid to rest in the city where his career began, the place where he found his true love and ran for the highest office in the land.
On September 16, 1901 the funeral train left Buffalo, New York for Washington, D.C. Following services at the United States Capitol, the President's body was placed back on the train for his final trip to Canton. On September 19 President McKinley's body was interred at the Werts Receiving Vault in Canton's West Lawn Cemetery.
After the services, several of the President's closest advisors, including William R. Day and Ohio Senator Marcus Hanna, met to discuss the location of a proper memorial to serve as a final resting place. The site chosen was often visited by McKinley. At one time, he even had suggested that a monument to soldiers and sailors from Stark County be placed there.
On September 26, 1901 the McKinley National Memorial Association was formed and President Theodore Roosevelt named the original Board of Trustees. The first order of business was to purchase the site, owned at the time by the West Lawn Cemetery. By October 10, the Association issued a public appeal for $600,000 in contributions for the construction project. Ohio Governor George K. Nash supported the effort by proclaiming McKinley's birthday in 1902 a special day of observance by the state's schools. Large numbers of school children contributed to the memorial fund, and the Association was able to purchase the proposed site.
Construction of the memorial began on June 6, 1905 when Mr. Magonigle removed the first shovel of soil from the site. ByNovember 16 the cornerstone was laid in an official ceremony attended by Mrs. McKinley and other family members.
The interior dome measures 50 feet in diameter and is 77 feet from the floor to the highest point. At the top of the dome is a red, white and blue skylight. The skylight has 45 stars in its design representing the 45 states in the Union at the time of President McKinley's death. The skylight was part of the original design, but for some reason was never installed. There was a clear glass skylight in its place. Using Magonigle's plans, and the Canton glass specialists White Associates, the 12-foot diameter skylight was installed during a restoration project in 1976.
By September 1907 the Monument and the 26 acres surrounding it were finished. Nine states had contributed material for the memorial. Ohio supplied the concrete, all of the brick, and much of the labor. Massachusetts provided the exterior granite and Tennessee the marble walls and pedestal and part of the marble floor. New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Wisconsin, Illinois and Rhode Island also contributed material for the project.
After the dedication the McKinley National Memorial Association continued to administer the site. Eventually, it became difficult for the Association to maintain the structure and the grounds. In early 1941 the federal government was approached about taking over the site. With war underway in Europe, it was clear that the United States might become involved and the government did not want to take on additional financial responsibilities. In 1943, the property was transferred to the Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society, today known as the Ohio Historical Society. In 1951 on the 50th anniversary of McKinley's death the memorial was rededicated by the state.
The memorial returned to local control in 1973 when the property was transferred to the Stark County Historical Society, owners and operators of the Wm. McKinley Presidential Library & Museum. On September 29, 1992, after years of restoration work and enhancement of the grounds the McKinley National Memorial was rededicated yet again. This rededication recognized the partnership undertaken by the Federal Government, local foundations and private citizens to honor the memory of President William McKinley.

A Conversation about Americans
Curators Paul Chaat Smith (Comanche) and Cécile R. Ganteaume, and Director Kevin Gover (Pawnee), offer insights into Americans, the provocative new exhibition on view at the museum in Washington. Artist, curator, and writer Gerald McMaster (Plains Cree/Member of the Siksika First Nation) moderates.
American Indian images are everywhere, from the maiden on Land O’Lakes butter to the mascot on the Cleveland Indians’ uniform. American Indian words are everywhere, too, from state, city, and street names to the Tomahawk missile. And the familiar historical events of Pocahontas’s life, the Trail of Tears, and the Battle of Little Bighorn remain reference points in everyday conversations. Americans asks how we should understand the evocations of American Indians that have surrounded Americans since before the Revolution to the present day. The exhibition also explores Native and non-Native Americans' surprising, entangled history.
Americans is on view at the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C., through 2022. See the exhibition website at
The companion book, Officially Indian: Symbols that Define the United States, by Cécile R. Ganteaume, with a forward by Colin G. Calloway and afterword by Paul Chaat Smith, can be purchased from the museum's Books and Products page at or from bookstores everywhere. Or ask your librarian to acquire a copy for the collection of via interlibrary loan.
This program was webcast live and recorded in the Rasmuson Theater of the National Museum of the American Indian on January 18, 2018.

International in scope and diverse in artistic output, both Dada and Surrealism were artistic, literary and intellectual movements of the early 20th century that were instrumental in defining Modernism. The Dada movement, launched in 1916 in Zurich by poets and artists such as Tristan Tzara and Hans Arp, was a direct reaction to the slaughter, propaganda and inanity of World War I.
After the war, many of the artists who had participated in the Dada movement began to practice in a Surrealist mode. Surrealism was officially inaugurated in 1924 when the writer André Breton published the Manifesto of Surrealism. Similar to Dada, Surrealism was characterized by a profound disillusionment with and condemnation of the Western emphasis on logic and reason.
