SUMMARY:ART EXHIBIT: "Your Country Calls: Art to Win World War I "

SUMMARY:EXHIBIT: Over Here\, Over There: El Paso and El Pasoans during WWI
DESCRIPTION:This July marks the one hundredth anniversary of the arrival of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe. To commemorate this event\, the C.L. Sonnichsen Special Collections Department of the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) Library created an exhibit to recount El Pasoans’ World War I experiences. This exhibit\, Over Here\, Over There: El Paso and El Pasoans during WWI\, will officially open with a reception on Friday\, July 28\, 2017\, 4:30-6pm in the UTEP Library’s Third Floor Gallery. The reception is free and open to the public. This exhibit features photographs\, documents\, and artifacts from Special Collections and the UTEP Centennial Museum. The Special Collections Department also has a complementary display of rare WWI books in its S.L.A. Marshall Military History Room. \nSome El Pasoans featured in the exhibit include: \nJosé Manuel “Manny” Escajeda (1896 – 1957) served in France during WWI. A 1915 graduate of El Paso High School\, Escajeda attended the University of Texas at Austin and later transferred to the University of Virginia in Charlottesville in 1917. He enlisted in the French army on May 29\, 1917\, along with several other University of Virginia students who were worried that France would lose the war. While working as an ambulance driver in France\, Escajeda’s vehicle experienced a direct hit from a mortar shell.  Despite the attack\, Escajeda remained on the battlefield to help save wounded French soldiers.  On October 27\, 1918 France awarded him the Croix de Guerre\, France’s highest honor for bravery. He later became El Paso National Bank’s vice president for affairs related to Mexico and South America and served as president of the El Paso Officers Association\, as commander of the American Legion #36. \nBorn in El Paso\, Elliot Chess (d. 1962) was a decorated military pilot. He left El Paso High School and joined the Royal Flying Corps in Canada; he went overseas to fight in WWI at age 18. During the Polish-Soviet War (1919 – 1921)\, he flew for the Polish air force as part of the Kościusko squadron. For his bravery\, Chess received Poland’s highest military honor\, the Virtuti Militari.  After the Polish-Soviet War\, he worked for the El Paso Times as an ad manager and was also a miner\, reporter\, editor\, professional wrestler\, playwright\, and author. \nBetty Mary Smith Goetting (1897 – 1980) volunteered for the Red Cross during WWI.  She worked as a librarian at the El Paso Public Library and as the El Paso County Historical Society’s first curator. In addition to her career in librarianship\, she helped found the Planned Parenthood Center of El Paso and actively promoted women’s social\, economic\, and reproductive rights in the El Paso community. She married Charles A. Goetting\, who had volunteered and served with Major Richard Burges of El Paso during WWI\, in 1919. \nThis exhibit will be open through December 2017. \n

SUMMARY:SEMINAR: From Passchendaele to Petrograd\, 1917: The Year the Germans Almost Won the First World War
DESCRIPTION:“From Passchendaele to Petrograd\, 1917: The Year the Germans Almost Won the First World War” will be this year’s UNT Hurley Military History Seminar. Speakers are Dr. Nick Lloyd\, Senior Lecturer\, Defence Studies Department\, King’s College London\, who will present: Passchendaele: 100 Years On” and Dr. Sean \nMcMeekin\, Professor of History\, Bard College\, who will present: “The Hostile Takeover: The Bolsheviks Conquer the Russian Imperial Army.” Continental breakfast and a served lunch are provided. The cost is $60 and registration is online only at: https://hurleyseminar2017.eventbrite.com. \n\n\nThe Alfred and Johanna Hurley Military History Seminar is now well into its third decade\, offering cutting-edge discussions on issues of national security and military history every fall. The seminar was conceived by UNT President and retired Air Force General Dr. Al Hurley in 1983. Its unique concept was to move fluidly between the battlefield and the academy by teaming a “scholar” with a “warrior\,” an expert on a particular war with a veteran of that campaign. The seminar continues in that spirit\, and has added new dimensions by adding historians and national security officials to broaden the discussions. Recent seminars have featured speakers like former CENTCOM Commander General Anthony Zinni (“The General’s Dilemma: Aligning Warfighting With Politics\, from the American Revolution to the War in Afghanistan”)\, Oxford’s Chichele Professor of the History of War Dr. Hew Strachan (“The British Army in Iraq and Afghanistan”)\, Sir Michael Howard (“War Among The Peoples”)\, Dr. Sean McMeekin (“The War of the Ottoman Succession: Re-Examining the First World War a Hundred Years Later”)\, retired Australian colonel and counter-insurgency expert Dr. David Kilcullen (“The Accidental Guerilla: Fighting Small Wars in the Midst of a Big One”)\, and Dr. Victor Davis Hanson (“The Significance of Ancient Warfare for the Present and the Future.”) Year in and year out\, for 30-plus years and counting\, the Hurley Seminar balances in-depth discussions of current wars with new interpretations of important historical questions like The Future of NATO\, German combat power in World War II\, the national security implications of the Kennedy assassination\, and the Origins of World War I.\n

SUMMARY:TEXAS IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR EXHIBIT - INSTITUTE OF TEXAN CULTURES
DESCRIPTION:Texas in the First World War\nApril 6\, 2017 – March 11\, 2018\n\nOne hundred years ago\, the United States entered the “War to End All Wars.” This idealistic hope of the “Great War” leading to lasting world peace would instead devastate large parts of the globe\, and set in motion events taking humanity directly to yet another world war within decades. \n“Texas in the First World War” Explores the role of the Lone Star State in this pivotal world event. Co-curated by students from the University of Texas at San Antonio\, research began with a semester-long course on World War I where students explored the war as a whole\, then took a closer look at activities in the state. \nBy the end of the war\, 198\,000 men and 450 Texan women would serve in the military alongside civilian volunteers both at home and overseas. Through images\, stories\, and artifacts\, Texas in the First World War sheds light on the legacy of a global conflict that still heavily influences world affairs\, politics\, and alliances to this day. \n\n
