'Working by United Press International WASHINGTON — Although the cowboy has gained hero sta tus as a rugged individualist, the Library of Congress is using a major exhibit to debunk such myths about the men who are simply “working stiffs" of the range. Today the cowboy is used to sell everything from cigarettes to Japanese cars and is reflected in clothing, music and epicurian styles. Not bad, say Library of Congress officials, for a profes sion that has been comprised of migrant agricultural workers since the 1800s. Called "The American Cow boy," the exhibit features 370 objects from the library's collec tion, as well as from 70 museums and individuals from the Southwest and nationwide. To the tune of "Happy Trails" and "Back in the Saddle Again," visitors to the exhibit opening March 26 in Washington will trace the development of the cowboy and his image through traditional western art such as paintings by Charles Russell and Frederick Remington as well as movies and modern art. The exhibition, which surveys the cowboy from his origins as a 19th century migrant agricultu ral worker to today's status as international mythical hero, travels later to Texas, Colorado, California and Canada. "We show the ideas that Americans of all walks of life superimposed on the working stiff who was out there pushing cattle," said Ingrid Maar, the library's cura tor of exhibitions. "We will de bunk a lot of myths." Ms. Maar said the inspiration for the exhibit, four years in the making, came after researchers from the Library's American Folklife Center went to Paradise Valley, Nev., and filmed and re searched modernday ranches. The film will be shown in the stiff': cowboy myth cowboy exhibit. "We wanted to flesh out that material and make it a major ex hibition," she said. "There's been real revival about the American cowboy. It's a com mercial revival. "We look at the myth about the cow'boy as individualist, which we are basically debunk ing. We set out with a section on working cowboy and show he was basically a seasonal worker who worked with other cow boys. We talk about the image Americans superimposed on the cowboy." Jim McClung, a public affairs specialist for the library, said the exhibition is the largest collec tion of visual material on cow boys ever assembled in one ex- hibiton and is divided into three major sections. The objects in clude artifacts, paintings, water- colors, prints, posters, books, manuscripts, music and film clips. The first section shows the working cowboy of the 1860s and 1870s through paintings, pictures, riding gear and "ev erything but the cow and horse itself." It ends with the winter of 1886. "That was the winter that hundreds of thousands of cattle died and the cattle industry col lapsed. Barb wire had been in vented and the open range died," said Ms. Maar. "They no longer had the enormous trail drives that took the cowboys from Texas to Kansas, where they put cattle on the trains." The second section deals with the myth of the cowboy fostered by dime novels, Buffalo Bill, staged paintings and pictures, moralistic movies and television cowboy shows with Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, and cowboy songs like the Sons of the Pioneers' "Hold That Critter Down." "We also talk about Teddy Roosevelt as the national cow boy. He thoroughly exploited his image of the cowboy," said Ms. Maar. The third major category deals with the modern cowboy and ranching, along with his popularity in today's advertise ments and clothing styles. "With the image of a cowboy, you can pretty much sell any thing," she said. "But that had been done about 100 years ago and then faded out. But now it has been revived." Some of the exhibits show the modern-day use of cowboys to sell everything from Japanese cars to beer and blue jeans. The exhibit travels to Texas for display at the Institute of Texan Cultures at the University of Texas from Dec. 1, 1983. until Jan.30,1984.
