A Cry for Help
On 9 February 2005 the cover story in USA TODAY profiled several Kansas towns in which new settlers could receive free building lots (Ritter 2005). Officials in some of these communities are sweetening the offer with rebates on local taxes. People in Crosby, North Dakota are going farther still: They add complimentary memberships in the local country club, fitness center, and curling association (Crosby 2005). Recruiting advertisements of this ty…

Guide to Kansas Architecture
Some were designed in elaborate styles bearing elegant names Beaux-Arts, French Renaissance, Art Deco. Others were humbly handcrafted from easily accessible materials wood, stone, and sod. But whether courtly, colloquial, capricious, or curious, each of state's architectural configurations has become an aesthetic slice of Kansas. In Guide to Kansas Architecture, David Sachs and George Ehrlich spotlight hundreds of these surprisingly diverse homes…

The Middle West
In the introduction to this absorbing volume, James Shortridge suggests that his "unconventional geography" (xiii) has been influenced by a small group of humanists within the profession.Certainly Shortridge's study of the Middle West is not what the lay reader ordinarily expects to encounter in the work of a geographer.In part this is because the scope and methodology of the discipline is broader than often believed, and in part because the auth…
Consumption of Fresh Produce in the Metropolitan United States
Changing Usage of Four American Regional Labels
Locational and sociological data from a set of warranty cards provide a means for exploring current and future patterns of American affiliation with the regional labels East, West, South, and Midwest. Analysis of detailed preference maps focuses on transition zones where two or three regional labels are in common use. The theory that younger, urban people from the zones bordering East and West would tend to identify with the relatively liberal im…
The Dictionary of American Regional English
The Vernacular Middle West
Contrary to the writings of academicians and journalists, college students from most sections of the country perceive the Middle West to have its core in Nebraska and Kansas. In a 1980 survey, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio seldom were seen as part of the region except by their own residents. Business and organization names using the term Middle West also are at their greatest relative frequency in the plains states, matching the collegiate percepti…

The Emergence of “Middle West'’as an American Regional Label
Though acknowledged as the heartland of the United States, the Middle West has been little studied as a cultural region. A survey of contemporary popular literature reveals that “Middle West'’was first adopted as an American regional label in the 1880s, with Kansas and Nebraska as its core. The term originally distinguished the relatively settled central plains both from the pioneer zone in the Northwest (the Dakotas) and the culturally different…

Patterns of Religion in the United States
STUDENTS of culture rank religion as one of the most important molders of human values and customs, so it has frequently been used to define culture regions.' It would seem, therefore, that maps of significant religious phenomena in the United States would be valuable not only for their own sake but also as building blocks in the quest to understand the overall character and diversity of American culture

A New Regionalization of American Religion
Using data from a recent detailed survey of church membership, measures for four important dimensions of religion are developed and used to create a regionalization of American religion. The four measures are Catholics as a percentage of total population, liberal Protestant adherents as a percentage of all Protestants, church members as a percentage of total population, and an index of religious diversity. The statistical regionalization has patt…

The Collapse of Frontier Farming in Alaska∗
Literature of the 1898–1950 period predicted that Alaska would be occupied by pioneer farmers, in a manner similar to the rest of the United States. Physical conditions allow subsistence farming in large areas of Alaska, and many governemnt inducement were offered to pioneers. These included liberal land laws, a subsidized government railroad, and a demonstration group settlement scheme. The almost complete failure to attract settlers seems attri…

Land of the Post Rock
In north-central Kansas, where woodlands are sparse and prairies expansive, rows of creamy-buff, brown-striped stone fence posts grace the landscape. These stately posts are shaped from the native rock known as Fencepost limestone, or simply post rock. Now tourist attractions, the posts are also regional trademarks that bespeak the resourcefulness of early Kansas settlers. Land of the Post Rock is a story of north-central Kansas and its people, a…

Traditional Rural Houses Along the Missouri-Kansas Border
I-houses and I-cottages predominate in the pre-1940 rural landscape along the Missouri-Kansas border, a region settled by people from different culture areas of the eastern United States. Cultural heritage explains part of the housing pattern, particularly the distributions of I-cottages and one-story bungalows, but for the most part, regional culture associations are not strong. The housing situation is understood better historically. To judge f…
