Richard Cobby captures never-failing light of Provence, winter and summer…
What I do on cold winter days is often to take to the kitchen, starting something hearty and real, such as a stew, homemade applesauce from Pine Barrens apples, or long-simmered spaghetti sauce.
Lacking time or specific ingredients, I do what I’m doing now - savor a leisurely post-tax-preparation lunch (of local cheeses, local apples, French wine, bien sur!, a hearty, grainy bread from the Village Bakery of Lawrenceville,) while READING RECIPES.
Forever homesick, as NJ WILD readers know, for my beloved Provence, I read Provencal cookbooks. Lines in these recipes jolt me away from my candlelit table (yes, in daytime!) and the redolent book, in word and images- to my computer — for recipes of Provence, sheer poetry!
And why Provence, on a gloomy winter’s day? The subtitle of Richard Olney’s treasure, Provence-the-Beautiful Cookbook, is Cuisines of the Sun. Having lived in Cannes in 1987/88, — where I could walk to Picasso’s Vallauris, though not down those cooked-spaghetti strands they consider roads, into Cannes, I know about that sun.
Provence Light on Winter Vegetables
Light all over. Everywhere. All the time. Sun that shattered into prisms and rainbows– not only upon water and sand and jewelry along the Rue d’Antibes and the hot metal of my little Peugeot. Light splashed along the concrete of La Croisette itself, upon the red rocks of the Esterel Massif, its pines and cork oaks. But even inside my deep apartment, light’s full spectrum splattered upon dark woods and fabrics, as well as upon wild herbs growing on my curve of balcony overlooking the blinding sea.
Provence Light on Pottery, as in Vallauris
That unconquerable sun of Provence! By comparison, sunlight here, –upon my hill above the canal–, is like watered skim milk. No, I was never lonely there. Provence sun was my constant companion, winter and summer. Except when it snowed, which it did upon on the palms of Cannes in January of 1988. Sun was simply omnipresent, even during mistrals. And once, sun was truly obscured, during la pluie du Sahara - the rain of the Sahara, –full of golden, blinding, scouring Sahara desert sand.
Ancient Olive Tree, Provence
Richard Olney divides his Provence, [which I never knew til 1976 is a separate world, not just a separate region from France itself], into Alpes-Maritimes, Var, Alpes-de-Haute Provence, the Vaucluse and Bouche-du-Rhone. In his books, he gives the specialties of each. In 1987/88, I explored them all, –in depth, by day and by night, usually alone, with passion never sated in all those months.
Sometimes, I would pop my neighbors of the villa into the car, –the Carre’s and Charles Mouzon especially, occasionally La Marquise, La Comtesse — all of whom would burst into song the minute I turned the key in the ignition in those tinny cans that passed for automobiles in Provence. They could never believe how fast my car was, especially at des feus rouges - red lights — despite being une automatique! “Ooo! Ca bouge!”, they would exclaim - roughly, “OOO, it leaps!” Before returning to song.
Old Provence Chapel at Time of Lavender Harvest
Most of our trips together were gastronomic, although one was in quest of the lavender harvest. And once, through a troupeau (troop, migrating flock) of sheep and goats led by a shepherd/goatherd with all his needs in leather sacques on either side of a donkey, to Opio for the pressing of the olives. All of our time together was merry and blessed. All the years since, I have been de-paysee(d) –uncountried — lost and longing for my own year in Provence.
The Flock
The recipe line that started me on this poeme du Provence is “add the tentacles and wings and saute for one minute”
Alas, I have not cooked with tentacles and wings.
How matter-of-fact are Provencals about matters unknown, unconsidered, even off-putting to so many Americans.
French recipes even explain their commands. A far cry from “microwave for 33 seconds…”
“The flesh of skate wings is melting and voluptuous. At table, it separates like magic from the tender, gelatinous bones.”
Ah, but we are talking talking of “squids’ tentacles and wings, chopped” here, not skate wings - which I first sampled and savored with black butter (au buerre noir) in Normandy in 1964. We are told to be careful to pack “the squid mantles, or pouches, carefully, because they shrink in cooking.” Their tentacles and wings are to be cooked for just one minute. I didn’t even know that squid had wings.
Fennel leaves are suggested for this recipe, but only “if the season is right.” To auslanders such as I, every season in Provence is the correct one. My neighbors were quick but gentle to correct me - for example cautioning me to make sure either to, or not to, buy cheeses made of ewes’ milk when they were lactating. As I am back in America now, c’est dommage, I am unlikely to need this advice, so have forgotten all but the gentleness with which it was conveyed in late winter of 1988.
This particular recipe concludes with putting the daurade (a generous delicate fish) on the grill when the coals are “slightly on the decline” …”with a film of white ash masking the ardent embers.” Right — “The Joy of Cooking” was never like this!
Richard Cobby’s Provencal Fishing Boat - re only out for the morning - fish never fresher!
Once the daurade is (minimally) cooked, we are to “sprinkle inside and out with the olive oil, then with pastis”. Of course. Every Provencal cook has pastis ‘ready to hand’.
I have relished loup de mer (wolf of the sea - don’t ask! it loses everything in translation, but not in cooking) roasted on fennel branches, then flamed with pastis, at L’Oasis, in La Napoule Plage. That town, that legendary restaurant, were but moments from what would be my Cannes apartment. But with long long ago husband and daughters. That most sublime fish of my life arrived after the tiny, ruddy melons of Cavaillon with their traditional lashings of port.
I’m fresh out of skate, squid, fennel and pastis. To say nothing of melon. Much as I love New Jersey, for a homesick former resident of Provence, it is NEVER the right season around here!
Yes, of course, I have prepared Provencal specialties back in the States. Le Grand Aioli, for example, up in the Berkshires, in January, for friends who shared a birthday. Turns out, according to Olney, I left out the main ingredient. Despite having hand-ground the garlic in marble mortar and pestle, as instructed, for the garlicky mayonnaise that is the heart and soul of this recipe, my accompaniments were incomplete.
They didn’t include octopus: “Serve the octopus hot from its cooking vessel. Its sauce mingles wonderfully with l’aioli.” At our birthday dinner in the snowy north, we were none the wiser, relishing every morsel of poached salt cod, roasted beets, new potatoes, crisp-tender carrots, ditto green beans, hard-boiled eggs, and cauliflower. These were the ingredients served with the Carre’s in a Bistrot/Art Gallery in nearby Biot, where a world-famous artist enjoyed the same at the next table. I had an American art magazine article about him right in my ’sacque’ to share with the Carre’s. When I showed it to the waitress, she took it over the artist so he could sign it. This merry man ate lunch with her every Friday, ‘le jour maigre’ - the meagre day - the fast and abstinence day - feasting on l’aioli.
Olney teaches me everything I ever wanted to know about sweetbreads, which I have eaten (in Manhattan and oddly enough, north of Detroit) but did not taste in Provence. “Sweetbreads should be plump and full in appearance, white, with a slight pink cast, moist and glistening.”
Although I sought out the regional restaurants everywhere in 1987/88 — not easy in that reign of the ridiculous la nouvelle cuisine! – the closest I came to sweetbreads was a lunch at Lou Nissarda, the Nicoise Place, near the fountain of La Place Massena, in Nice, on the heels of Mardi Gras. After photographing spent flowers from des batailles des fleurs, (Mardi Gras flower battles), abandoned serpentine and confetti, along curbs, in people’s hair, languidly drifting along the Boulevard des Anglais, and yes, in the fountain, a Princeton friend and I went to Lou Nissarda so I could introduce him to Nicoise specialties.
Nice, The High View and the Sea
Even Charles Mouzon and the Carre’s had not eaten there, until I drove them to Nice. Though French, they were not Provencal. They didn’t know this regional food. My guest chose, as his first course, beignets/fritters of zucchini blossoms, as did I, among other treasures of Nice. The host brought us a gift of cooked marinated chick peas - the cuisine of the peasants — redolent of fruity olive oil, probably from Aliziari down the street; and lemon juice, from Mentone, about 20 minutes farther along the coast toward Italy.
What my guest ordered next nearly daunted, and yet did not — fried testicles. Lamb, to be sure. The whole point of my year in Provence was the point of my 71st year last year– Do the New. So yes, I tasted them. Fine - except I have nothing with which to compare. We always knew the French would eat anything. And, in terms of unexpected foods, the Provence leave the French in the dust.
When in Provence, do as the Provencals do. We ended our meal with another gift from the proprietor - a liqueur, fresh from the freezer, in which twined a sinuous, ineffably thin single paring of lemon. Paradise enow.
The height of weekly joy in my Provence was to journey to Old Cannes, Le Suquet, which goes back to the Phoenicians. Cannes-the-glamorous, was named, –though nobody knows it–, for cannes, fishing poles, –canes/bamboo-like, which grew in the Mediterranean, buffeted and therefore toughened by the mistral, month upon month.
I like to think that I was buffeted and strengthened for all that lay ahead, by my time in the Provencal hinterlands, back country, garrigues (scrubland where the Resistance hid and managed to prosper), La France Profonde.
Far Vista of Provence in the Luberon
My time in Provence toughened me so that, ever after, first in Georgia and then back here, I could wander with and without maps, in all seasons, in the wild regions near our Delaware Bay, learning to love NJ WILD - long before I had ever heard of a blog.
Le Suquet was a look-out point for invaders, which arrived in all seasons for more than eight centuries, usually from the sea. Now it is a segment of the town frozen in time - light years from La Cote d’Azur, though only inches away…
At Le Suquet, at Marche Forville, I would buy fresh eggs from a woman weighing a lively protesting chicken for another, braver customer. At March Forville, I’d be GIVEN olive oil, my francs waved away, due to my preference for the oil-presser’s favorite, which sounded like “la fruitier” — the fruity one. At Marche Forville, I had my favorite apicultrice - the honey lady - who taught me the joys of lavender honey she had gathered and packaged and was now selling, from her own bees.
Outside Marche Forville, the news-seller would also refuse my francs: “Vous etes Amereicaine. Vous avez sauvez nous.” “You are American, You have saved us.” I have been in Normandy more times than I can count - no one there has ever said nor done anything comparable.
At Marche Forville, as at our New Jersey Slow Food indoor winter farm markets and our soon-to-be spring farm markets, I could josh with the farmers, take home memories as well as taste. You can, too, in our own regional markets, soon, pretty soon…
I never thought I’d be so depressed going to Provence. We’ve been talking going with our friends Albin and Agnes for years and finally made the booking in February. Both Albin and Agnes are food lovers and avid cooks so the idea is to go for two weeks, rent a villa, go to the market in the morning, lay by the pool during the day and cook and eat and be merry. Agnes is bringing all her food recipes and I am in charge of desserts. We have also talked our friends Gaurang and Christine into joining us for the first week. It promises to be a great vacation for all.Then three days ago something happened at work and Jason had to cancel. My first reaction was to cancel my trip too, but we have two other couples expecting us there and it just wouldn’t be nice to not show up. So now I’m going solo. While poor Jason’s stuck at work, I have to figure out how to get myself from CDG airport to Gare Lyod, use the rail pass to catch the TGV to Avignon, find the rental car office and drive myself to our villa in a little village called Murs, which is 30km away. I feel like I’m in a nightmare where I’m a contestant in the Amazing Race, except I don’t have a partner to read the map while I drive. Albin and Agnes are nice enough to come and meet me at the train station so I can just follow their car back to Murs. I hope I can remember the roads because two days later I am going back to pick up Gaurang and Christine.
We are hoping that Jason can come and join me for the second week, but there’s a chance that he might not make it at all. So there I was, going to the supermarket before I leave to stock up for Jason, and somehow I found myself shopping for clothes. This is what I do when I get depressed, I shop. A shirt, a pair of pants, a skirt, a necklace and a pair of earrings later, I don’t feel any better. That’s the thing about depression shopping, it rarely makes you feel better but you just can’t help yourself. I’m hoping the beautiful scenery in Provence and the company of good friends will do the trick.

1901-1924 Historical Time-Line
1901: Last recorded smallpox epidemic. Willow Creek School is in a disastrous state. Discipline is enforced with confinement to "cells," like an old meat refrigerator with holes in it or a root cellar often flooded and full of rodents and rotten vegetables. These places were sometimes too small to permit lying down. The offenders were fed bread and water. Monteath recommends the Cut Bank Creek location for a new school. Smallpox returns. It seems impossible to keep a quarantine, especially with the railroad. There is much tuberculosis. Commissioner Jones wants the Indians to cut their hair and for their rations to be cut, though the rations were the compensation for giving up parts of the reservation. President William McKinley assassinated; Teddy Roosevelt becomes President. Walt Disney is born. Picasso is in his "blue period." Ragtime jazz is developing. Adrenalin first found. The first American bowling tournament is in Chicago.
1902: Great Falls Tribune headline: "Piegan Indians in Open Revolt." Monteath threatens to arrest White Calf, whereupon the Indian police all quit and Little Dog comes to say that if he dares to do such a thing, Monteath will be bound with ropes and thrown in front of the next train. Blackfeet population is estimated at 2,084 with 50 births and 33 deaths. Cattle are at 10,000 (with 4,000 calves) and horses at over 22,000. Mike Connelly is one of the Montana stockmen running cows on the Rez. The entire focus is on farming and much attention is given to irrigation and water rights. This is a flood year, washing out 75% of the seeds. 64 kids attend the Jesuit school and 57 go to the deplorable Willow Creek school. Monteath blames his troubles on half-breeds, especially Joe Kipp, Maggie Wetzel (who married Joe Kipp) and Horace Clarke. He wants them confined to a separate reservation or removed completely. John Steinbeck is born. Chekhov writes “The Three Sisters." William James writes “The Varieties of Religious Experience." Enrico Caruso makes his first record. Cushing begins studying the pituitary gland. The Aswan Dam is opened.
1903: Old White Calf dies. He is the last of the old-time head chiefs. A formal tribal council is organized. Joe Kipp and Horace Clarke are on it plus seven older full bloods. By now the ration roll is cut down from 2,100 to 550. Cattle have gone from 19,709 to 19,090. Monteath is complaining about Horace and Helen Clarke, and Horace is banned from the Res, though he's on the council. There is an outbreak of mange among the cattle. The Alaskan frontier is settled. Jack London writes "The Call of the Wild." Whistler, Gauguin, and Pissaro died. "The Great Train Robbery" is filmed. The Wright brothers successfully fly the first airplane. The electrocardiograph is invented. The first coast-to-coast crossing of American by car takes 65 days. The Teddy bear is invented.
1904: Boarding school on Cut Bank Creek opened for students. Through a lease for cattle grazing, the Conrad Investment Company manages to divert water from Birch Creek. Ration roll cut to less than 100. This is a drought year and gardens fail. Grass is dried up. The north and south boundary fences are finished. Rev. Matson, who had run Willow Creek Methodist Mission for ten years, dies. Grazing permit system begins. Daniel Floweree brings 7,000 cattle in. J. H. Sherburne, W.C. Broadwater, and Simon Pepin are in business through the latter partnership is denied permits at first. Thad Scriver has arrived as a clerk for Sherburne. Teddy Roosevelt re-elected. W.H. Hudson writes “Green Mansions.” James Barrie writes “Peter Pan.” Anton Chekhov writes “The Cherry Orchard” and dies. Weber writes "The Protestant Ethic and the Birth of Capitalism." Rolls Royce is founded. The first ultraviolet lamps are made. Yellow fever is eradicated in Panama. 10-hour work day is established in France. Paris conference on the white slave trade. Broadway subway opened in New York. New York cop arrests woman for smoking in public. Helen Keller graduates from Radcliffe. First trench warfare used. Steerage rates for immigrants to U.S. cut to $10.
1905: A list of stock on the reservation shows 12,000 Blackfeet horses, 1,200 cattle owned by the Agency traders, 300 cows belonging to the Jesuits at the Holy Family Mission, and enough others to total 42,464. Most of those were "lease" or "permit" cattle which the fence was now keeping in. Charles Conrad's heirs claim he is due $30,000 for helping with negotiations in 1896. Provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba formed. Sinn Fein formed in Ireland. Jules Verne dies. Albert Schweitzer writes “J. S. Bach.” Einstein formulates the theory of relativity. Rayon appears. The first neon lights appear. Mount Wilson observatory completed in California. The Rotary Club founded.
1906: James Jensen comes as acting agent, then Captain J.Z. Dare. He discovers that the Indians are having to pay the same grazing fees on the Rez as the white cattlemen are. Dare lets Horace Clarke come back. Floweree, Pepin, and Broadwater all expand their grazing permits. The drought continues and overgrazing begins to be evident. '06/'07 was a bad winter and much stock was lost. Floweree wanted a 40% rebate on his permit. Franco becomes Prime Minister of Spain. Ruth St. Denis introduces modern dance. Ibsen dies. Winston Churchill writes ‘Life of Lord Randolph Churchill.” Cezanne dies and Garbo is born. U.S. Food and Drug Act. Allergies understood. China and Britain agree to the reduction of opium production. "Typhoid Mary" is found. Night shift work for women internationally forbidden. San Francisco earthquake kills 700. Damage equals $400 million.
1907: The Blackfeet ask Dare, who asks Washington, whether there isn't a "Big Claim." This idea is braced back to Agent Baldwin, but the government denies any claims at all. The Blackfeet win the case over water with the Conrad Investment Company. Teddy Roosevelt bars Japanese from entering the US. Oklahoma joins the Union. Rasputin dominates Tsar Nicholas II. Panic of 1907 causes a run on banks, stopped by J.P. Morgan importation of $100 million in gold from Europe. Nobel prize for literature goes to Rudyard Kipling. First cubist exhibition in Paris. The first Ziegfield Follies. Baden-Powell forms the Boy Scouts. Mother's Day established. 1907-08 turns out to be another rough winter. Montanans succeeded in getting "allotment" on the reservation, which they equated with it being opened for exploitation. (It meant that instead of the tribe holding the land communally, it would be divided up and assigned to individuals--with a good bit left over for sale to outsiders.) In the end allotment takes ten years and requires Congressional intervention to solve the scramble over oil and mineral lands. It turns out Dare has not been properly putting Tribal money in their fund. Rather he has been putting it in the United States account. There is no way to trace the lost money. Lebreche is encouraged to sell all his cattle and buy a much-needed sawmill, but once he has it, the government prohibits him from using it. Willits and Scriver begin the Browning Mercantile.
1908: James Sanders briefly acts as agent and then C.A. Churchill comes. Churchill gets into a fracas with Broadwater, who allowed several thousand sheep to graze on the Rez through his job as Stock Yard Manager for the Great Northern. Churchill is depositing stock permit money in his personal account. He divides the Rez into districts and tries to control the removal of cattle, but Floweree defies him. Churchill points out that the money brought in by the permits is at least balanced by the amount of damage (overgrazing and diseases) and informal rustling that goes on so there is little or no profit. Churchill's daughter marries the son of J.H. Sherburne. (This would be Eula Sherburne.) William Howard Taft becomes president. Union of South Africa founded. Lyndon Johnson born. Isadora Duncan popular. Kenneth Grahame writes “The Wind in the Willows” and E.M. Forster writes “A Room with a View.” Lucy M.

1910: US Census counts 2,268 Blackfeet on reservation. Complaints that traders are overcharging, or have a number of different prices, depending on who is asking. Hints that Agent Churchill pressures those who don't pay their bills. 150 Rocky Boy Chippewa are dumped on the Rez. They have no place to go. King Edward VII dies and is succeeded by George V. Japan annexes Korea. China abolishes slavery. U.S. Congress passes the Mann Act which prohibits transportation of women across state lines for immoral purposes. E. M Forster writes “Howard's End.” Mark Twain and Leo Tolstoi die. Karl May writes “Winnetou.” William James, Julia Ward Howe, and Mary Baker Eddy die.

The first Father's Day established by Jack Dodd's mother. (Jack marries Helen Tellefero. He is the head of Glacier Park for a while.)
1911: McFatridge is the new agent. He, his wife and his son are called "The father, son and holy terror." 9,000 outsider’s cattle remain and McFatridge asks to throw them off. His reservation doctors quit, so he ends up treating tuberculosis, trachoma and VD himself. Rev. R.A. Riggin, the Methodist missionary, is running cattle instead of doing mission work, so he is assessed $1,700 in fees and pays half that. There is constant wrestling with the Conrad Investment Company and the Conrad-Valier Water Company over water rights. The cost of the Rez irrigation systems is charged against the assets of the tribe. The Indian Office gave Great Northern a right of way for a wagon road from Midvale to the park entrance as well as timber and gravel. Congress approved the Great Northern to build hotels and take land from townsites for $30 an acre. McFatridge first valued them at $90, but was leaned on by the Indian Office and made the adjustment downward. Revolution in China. A republic declared and Chinese pigtails banned. Mona Lisa stolen from the Louvre. Roald Amundsen reaches the South Pole. Nobel prize to Marie Curie. Reservation alloted to individuals
1912: July 20, Blackfeet reservation-wide survey on land. Allotment was about ready. Cattle rustling was a major problem. McFatridge formed "The Blackfeet Stock Protective Association." The reservation fence was taken down and sold. Rocky Boy's Chippewa had been allotted Blackfeet land, but showed little enthusiasm and instead were given Ft. Assiniboine's abandoned land. Robert J. Hamilton,. a half-breed who had been adopted by A. B. Hamilton, a Fort Whoop-Up whiskey trader, led a delegation to Washington, D.C. to complain that the old people were starving, the tribal council was being run by the agent, and the Blackfeet water rights has been stolen. McFatridge's son, Leslie, had threatened S.E. Selecman, the Browning Public School principal, who thrashed him. From then on it was war between the agent and the principal. Selecman had to go to court to keep his job. Woodrow Wilson is president. Arizona and New Mexico becomes states. In the US approx. 5 million people visit cinemas daily. Leopold Stokowski becomes the conductor of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra. Vitamins and cellophane invented. V. Stefansson and R. Anderson explore Arctic Canada. Wilson's cloud chamber detects protons and electrons. Titanic sinks. The "Piltdown Man" found. Woolworth founded. The first successful parachute jump. Jim Thorpe is the outstanding sportsman at the Stockholm Olympic Games, but when it is discovered that he played semi-professional baseball in 1911, his gold medals and trophies are taken from him and his records erased from the books.
1913: Scriver (now an American citizen) buys Willets out of the Browning Mercantile. The Great Northern had its stumpage fees for their new road waived. Balkan War. Richard Nixon born. Willa Cather, D.H. Lawrence, and Robert Frost are publishing. Eleanor H. Porter writes “Pollyanna.” Grand Central Terminal opens in NYC. Geiger invents the geiger counter. The composition of chlorophyll, Vitamin A, and the basic theories of jet propulsion discovered. Panama Canal opens.
1914: Dealing with "surplus" lands (unalloted) becomes an issue. McFatridge has his own committee which includes James Perrine, Levi Burd, Malcolm Clarke and Charles Buck. The only land being farmed by irrigation was a 30 acre demo plot on Seville. Wolf Tail is the Chair of the Tribal Council and James Perrine is the secretary. Perrine says that only half-breeds of proven competence should get their allotments and that the irrigation project should be shut down. The Blackfeet want to reserve the mineral rights, but the Indian Office tries to assure them there are no minerals except low grade coal. Now McFatridge is willing to allow outside cattle (Rocky Creek Ranch Company, which is C.B. Power and friends. C.B. is the son of T.C.) as many as 20,000. At the time the Blackfeet owned 12,000 cows and 9,000 horses. Indians with allotments were leasing them to white ranchers. Many complain that the elderly full bloods around Heart Butte are starving. White Antelope leads a group of 200 full-bloods who complain of agent corruption. Elsie Newton reports six or eight polygamous families, adultery and prostitution and "two flourishing churches." (Presbyterian -- this would be the Reverend James Gold, father of Douglas -- and Catholic.) She thought the whites were as immoral as the Indians. Other inspectors from the government find McFatridge in chaos, Cut Bank Boarding School a tragedy, and the stock and land allotments confused if not unfairly distributed on purpose. They recommend he be removed. World War I begins. James Joyce writes “Dubliners” and Joyce Kilmer writes “Trees.” E.R. Burroughs writes “Tarzan of the Apes.” Pope Pius X succeeded by Benedict XV. Henry Bacon designs the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC. First successful heart surgery on a dog.
1915: McFatridge dismissed and runs off to Canada with $1200. C.L. Ellis takes charge. A million dollars has been spent on irrigation projects that are not used. Some were badly made and others are in disrepair. All this cost was handled as liens on the allotments. The Indians are collectively in debt to Indian traders for $115,000 and the agent feels they are overcharged. Everyone is after the "surplus" lands. A tribal herd (as opposed to cattle distributed to individuals) of 1200 arrives but it is in danger from rustlers and attrition. 90% of the full bloods have trachoma and 75% have tuberculosis. Over 1,000 are on rations, including some of the Rocky Boy's band. McFatridge has failed to register the tribal brand with the state. The allotment boundary markers are missing and must be resurveyed. Sinking of the Lusitania. Rupert Brooke dies and Saul Bellow and Arthur Miller are born. Edgar Lee Masters publishes “A Spoon River Anthology.” “Birth of a Nation” is released. Classic New Orleans jazz in bloom. Hugo Junkers constructs the first fighter airplane.

Pancho Villa strikes across the Mexican border and is pursued by Pershing. 8 hour work day granted to railroad workers to prevent strike. John Dewey writes “Democracy and Education.” Jazz sweeps the U.S. National Park Service created. Prohibition growing. Carl Sandburg publishing “Chicago Poems.”
1917: Mountain Chief is told Washington is still considering the oil lease. There are 35,000 head of cattle on the reservation, excluding the tribal herd, but 9/11's of them are owned by thirty families. By now allotments have been approved and patented and some half-breeds are mortgaging their land to make profits on the war-driven meat prices. The full bloods are making money from hay. Thomas Ferris is briefly the acting agent. Russian revolution. John Fitzgerald Kennedy born. Sarah Berhardt's final US tour. Degas and Rodin die. Charlie Chaplin makes one million dollars a year. Trans-Siberian railroad completed. Buffalo Bill Cody dies. 4 women arrested and jailed for 6 months for picketing the White House for suffrage.
1918: A quick succession of superintendents includes Wadsworth, F.C. Campbell, and Harvey O. Power who is dismissed for offenses. Four years of severe drought. Tribal herd is up to 6,000 head. Stuart Hazlett, the lease clerk, conspires to strip people of their land by improperly certifying them. Sherburne Mercantile ends up with 40,000 acres that have been improperly alloted to incompetent and in-debt Indians. Livestock on the Rez numbers 65,000 cattle, 25,000 horses and 5,000 sheep. There are worries about overgrazing. The sawmill is in disrepair and borer beetles are killing trees. Dr. George Martin is a reputed morphine addict. Armistice signed. Women over 30 get the vote in England. Joyce's “Ulysses” impounded and burned by the post office. Leonard Woolley begins Babylonian excavations. World-wide influenza epidemic, by 1920 nearly 22 million are dead. Small town America reduced by 10%. Missouri the last state to ratify compulsory school attendance.
1919: Dec. 1 election to see whether Cut Bank or Browning should be county seat of Glacier County. Power is ejected. The Agency staff is openly drunk. Horace Wilson is superintendent. He shows up drunk on the Navajo Reservation in the middle of Prohibition, shows up at a hearing about illegal liquor on the Rez and is drunk himself. There are few internal fences, so stock wanders and trespasses. Tribal herd estimated at 4,000. John Hall handled the sales and shipment that year. Mild winter. Teddy Roosevelt dies. Prohibition ratified. President Wilson presides over the first League of Nations meeting in Paris. Race riots in Chicago. American steel and American dock workers strike. Bauhaus founded and built by Gropius. Renoir dies. Jazz gets to Europe. Cyclones analyzed. Jim Thorpe finishes his 6-year major league baseball career with the Boston Braves. Plays in 60 games: hits 327. American Legion formed. Invention of the mechanical rabbit begins greyhound races.
1920: The mismanaged tribal herd is finally disposed of, at a loss. Wilson and Snell, Project Manager from the Reclamation Bureau, are pushing more irrigation projects. They call a meeting, take minutes of what they say, and send it on as representing what the people want. The only people on the Rez doing a good job of irrigation farming are the Jesuits -- and they haven't paid anything for the water. Warren G. Harding President. 19th amendment gives American women the vote. U.S. Senate votes against joining the League of Nations. Adler, Jung and Bertrand Russell are publishing. “The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari” released. Paul Whiteman tours Europe with his band.

1921: Louis Hill gets a ten year lease for oil through Wilson. A second competing application was denied. Hill did not drill succesfully. Wild cat leases through the tribe granted. Hazlett acting as agent and go-between. Wilson dismissed and convicted of bigamy. Blackfeet are still starving. Over the winter of 1920-21, two-thirds of the people needed rations. F.C. Campbell is the new superintendent. He says the reservation is bankrupt and he starts a series of "five year plans." He goes house-to-house, visiting 4/5ths of the people. 50% of the full-bloods had no cash and not everyone was cutting wood for winter. He felt they would have to do some small farming to survive and organized them into groups who could share heavy equipment. All this was to be financed by the "Reimbursable Plan" which had lost the people much of their land. James Willard Schultz became critical and headed The Executive Committee for the National Association to Help the Indian. He felt his father-in-law, Yellow Wolf, was allowed to starve. The Red Cross is present, but their funds are lost in a bank closure. A little flour mill is established in Heart Butte. Hitler's storm troopers begin terrorizing.

Richard Sanderville and Levi Bird are loyal to the agent. Campbell wants to remove Oliver Racine (a Hamilton supporter) from the council on grounds of adultery. There are more problems with overgrazing, trespassing and rustling, to say nothing of confusion over who leased what from whom for how long. Forrest Stone is the assistant to the superintendent.

CUT NOSE WOMAN
“No place could look more like Eden than this,” he remarked to himself as he swung up over a ridge so high it surely must be a major divide, maybe Hudson’s Bay Divide which sent water to the north through Canada. The Rockies, still snow-white in June, stood to the West. Below him was a wide green valley with a small creek wandering along ox-bows in the fertile willow thickets that had once been a pond created by beavers. He shifted his pack and satchels as his eye wandered back and forth. Then he saw movement and focused on one place.
It was a woman, slender, wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat and a loose calico dress with the sleeves rolled up. As he watched, she got a strike, played her fish a few moments, then pulled it onto the grass and mint where she stood barefooted. Her tackle was only a willow stick, a few yards of line with no reel, and a hook. Her movements were graceful, confident.
Absorbed in her task, she didn’t notice as he quietly went down the hill and found his way to her through the labyrinth of brush. Not until he was only a few feet away did she hear him and turn. He jerked to a stop.
A skull. She had a skull for a face.
Equally aghast, she thought she was looking at a burned man, charred black.
Both stood for a long moment as their innards lurched and screamed. Outwardly, they showed nothing while their minds groped for civility and understanding. They were disciplined, polite people, though both were loners by choice.
Finally he succeeded in controlling himself, so that he could say, “I thought Blackfeet never ate fish.”
“I’m not like other Blackfeet.” Her voice was strange -- not nasal and not muffled like a cleft-palate voice, but with a resonance missing.
They eyed each other until she managed to ask, “Are you hungry?”
“Well, actually, ma’am, I am purty hungry.”
“Do you eat fish?” she asked seriously.
He nodded.
Her little cabin, logs up to the eaves and shingles on the pointed tops of the end walls, stood on a high spot in a clearing. The cat on the doorstep looked at the visitor scornfully and slipped into the brush. Following the woman inside, he saw the few objects, each carefully maintained and placed: a round table, a few straight chairs, a bed made up with clean sheets and Indian blankets, and a fine black woodstove with nickel trim. Its name was emblazoned on the oven lid: Othello. He didn’t think about that. Jars with bouquets sat on the windowsills next to herbs growing in old coffee cans. The room smelled of soap and sweetgrass. She had brought her stringer of fish to the table..
“Let me clean them fish for you,” he offered, and piled his belongings next to the door.
“All right.” She handed him the fish and a colander.
He took the trout out onto the clean grass. When he cut the heads off and threw them to the side, the cat came back. He scooped up the guts the cat didn’t drag off in his hands and carried them to the outhouse. It was the most scrubbed outhouse he had ever seen. He rinsed his hands and the trout in the creek, carrying them back in the colander.
When he returned, the stove had heated and the woman was cutting baking powder biscuits. She set a mug of coffee in front of him. Every time he looked at the skull of her face, he felt a twinge of revulsion, but by now he had figured out that she was a “cut-nose woman.” A woman whose husband had cut her nose off to punish her for unfaithfulness, so that no man would ever want her after that. He could see that if a person could ignore the squirming, wet, internal flesh of her amputation -- which wasn’t possible for long -- she was quite beautiful. He pitied her.
For her part, she had realized that this was a “black whiteman,” like the buffalo soldiers of the recent past. Not quite so frightening as they had been -- he showed no signs of being military or even belligerent. She could give full attention to getting the trout fried and the biscuits baked exactly right at the same time.
After they had eaten -- he had insisted that she sit down with him -- he took his chair outside, along with a strange piece of luggage shaped like an animal with a long neck. It was a violin case. He didn’t play like a Metis, all jigs and songs. Rather his music was a long story, rising and falling, repeating parts, drawing out chords. When he began to play, the birds were silent, but after they had listened a little while, they matched their singing to his violin.
In an hour or so, he lay out flat on the grass and slept while she cleaned up from the cooking. It seemed natural, domestic, companionable, in a way she hadn’t felt for a long time. She hoped he would stay for supper -- for the night. And he did. When she made more coffee after supper, he took out a flat bottle and doctored the coffee with whiskey. “Now this is good stuff and I normally wouldn’t mix it with anything else, but I don’t judge you’re used to drinkin’.” She soon adapted.
The day began to end so that some creatures sought hiding places to sleep in and others came out to search for food. By now the man and woman were laughing over not much -- little stories, maybe. As it grew darker, it was easier to look at the woman and the man became only a shadow.
Pretty soon he led her to her own bed, which she turned down for sleep. They lay down with no clothes, her back to him, and he began to stroke her neck and shoulders. He unbraided her heavy hair. When it was very dark, he turned her toward him and slid on top of her. He was needy and skillful. But he couldn’t enter her. He was baffled.
“Ain’t you... Wasn’t your nose cut by your husband?”
“Yes.” He could hardly hear her.
“Well, don’t that mean that he and at least one other had ... well, had had you?”
The small voice, like a child, said with dignity, “No one has ever had me.”
“Then why?”
For a moment she couldn’t speak, the trauma exploding in her mind again.
So unexpectedly had he come upon her and so quickly did he act that she felt nothing for several minutes until she put her hands to her face and realized that she would never be the same. Then in a few more minutes the shock wore off and she began to hurt with a wild, shocking, stifling pain beyond anything she had ever felt. So this was what it was like--the thing she had heard about: an old-fashioned punishment meant to be lifelong.
But right then she didn't have any thoughts at all-- just pain and then blackout. When she woke and saw her husband was gone, she ran out the open door. It was winter and she packed snow on her face, soon bright with blood. All her blood might have run out that hole if the missionary couple hadn't passed by and put her in their car. They drove her to the hospital. For a little while they didn’t recognize her, though they knew her well since they had sponsored her education away from the reservation. She had finished a boarding high school but had married instead of going to college. They had not approved of the man she married. Didn’t understand why she married at all. The missionary was not asked to perform the wedding, which had hurt his feelings.
After the terrible cutting, they assumed that in fact she had been unfaithful. Her husband was gone for a few years and came back with a new wife. No one paid any attention to the legalities.
When she healed enough, she went to a little cabin along Willow Creek that no one was using. There she set up housekeeping. Her family brought her supplies.
The black man had seen terrible things, some of them unpredictable and not deserved, and he was inclined not to ask her any more questions, but he really wanted to know. “Why? Why’d he do it?”
“He said I thought I was too good for him. And he couldn’t -- you know -- get stiff. So he said he’d bring me down a notch. He thought maybe I was thinking about someone better than him, but I wasn’t.”
Her goodness did not affect the black man the way it had affected the husband -- in fact, the opposite -- so he pushed his way in and gently made love to her. She was amazed. It was not like she had expected.
Afterwards he asked her, “Why did that man want to marry you?”
“He thought it would make him important to have an educated wife.”
“Well, then, why did you marry him? Was he educated, too?”
“Oh, he didn’t know nuthin’. But I didn’t know I could refuse.”
“Jus’ like bein’ a slave,” mused the man. And then he thought about why she hadn’t refused him, but decided not to ask. He thought probably he knew.
They had a few nice days -- she cooked, he played his violin, and they both did some fishing. They made love. Then the man said he had to leave. “I’m jus’ a fiddle-foot,” he explained. But at the top of the divide, he stopped and looked back quite a while. She went in the house.
It was a mild winter and she got along very well, though it was soon clear she was pregnant. The baby was born on February 14 when all the signs turned to point to spring. She had no calendar so didn’t know the date. The baby was small and she had an easy birth alone in her cabin. In the past she had helped with birth. When the baby's umbilical cord had dried, she sewed it into a snake-shaped buckskin amulet and beaded it in blue with yellow crosses.
In March the missionary delivered more food to the Cut Nose Woman and returned aghast. "There she was, out of doors with a nearly newborn, and, my dear, you won't believe this."
His wife was sorting second-hand clothes. The parsonage was in constant danger of being buried in second-hand clothes and ridiculous worn-out shoes. Right now it was cast-off winter clothes she was sorting in hopes of eliminating the worst unusables and thereby reducing the amount of room needed for storage. "What won't I believe?"
"The baby is black. As inky as that kitten there."
The wife stopped and turned to stare at him. So did the kitten, feeling eyes on itself. But the kitten went back to cleaning its paws before the wife moved again. "I don't remember any colored around here."
"Me neither. Now, down in Great Falls... But I've never heard of her leaving the reservation. I can't imagine her going with that face, that great gaping hole in the middle of her face."
"Does she have any baby clothes?"
"None that I saw."
"I suppose we'd better take some out this afternoon. Lucky she's fairly close to town." Then in the car, she said, “You know, she can’t keep that baby.”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, it’s just indecent. We should take it from her and find it a good Christian Negro home.”
“She’s a good Christian -- she just can’t come to church with her face.”
“But she can’t live out there in the brush with a baby and no father! It will be the victim of racism and prejudice and just make her situation worse! And think of the baby -- with a mother who has no nose!”
The missionary didn’t follow the logic and neither could he understand his wife’s need to get that baby away from Nosy. He did remember that she was very disappointed when the girl married instead of going on to school. Since then it was almost as though she didn’t want her to have anything, wanted her to be punished even more. But then, she WAS unfaithful. And it was just plain defiant of her to be out here in this cabin, still having affairs. Was she making money from sex?
The old black car with its narrow wheels slowly negotiated the muddy and puddled dirt road to the cabin. They sat in the car, waiting as was the custom at a country house on the reservation, but no one came. Finally the preacher got down and went to look in the house. “Nobody there,” he said truthfully. "Just the cat." Nosy had heard them coming.
Over the next five years the missionary tried to catch Nosy and her baby in the cabin any number of times, but she always managed to elude him. Then it was time for the boy to go to school and the truant officer had many more tricks than the missionary did. He took the black boy along to the Cut Bank boarding school. The boy went willingly and loved school, though he missed his mother sometimes.
Nosy missed her boy all the time. When her relatives brought supplies, she asked for whiskey and got it. That took the edge off her loneliness, though it slowed down her housekeeping. She stopped fishing and didn’t often wash sheets to drape over the willows to dry in the sun. The boy came back in summer and she didn’t drink then.
Then one June she didn’t stop drinking. She drank right through the summer, which disgusted the boy, who was now old enough to want to be with other kids instead of a drunken mom. He began to leave her half-passed out and go off on his own errands. That made her cry, which was a disaster with no nose. She blubbered and smeared snot and filth across her face until he couldn’t stand to look at her. He told her he was going to go to a boarding school away from there, though there was a high school in town now.
That night she sat sober, though her head ached, and thought. In the morning two cousins came and she talked to them about making new arrangements. In a few days they returned with a wagon and team. Her household fit into the wagon with room for herself, the driver, and her son on the front seat. The cat sat on the very top, hanging on to the bedding with its claws.
Her son was pleased at the little edge-of-town Moccasin Flats cabin and proud to carry in furniture. They scrubbed and she rigged closets by stringing up calico curtains in the corners of the two rooms. He had a room for himself. He didn’t mind the outhouse or having to carry water from the city water faucet, because now he was with his friends and they did the same. At least now they had electricity.
At first people were shocked by Nosy’s face, but they got used to it and pretty soon no one even thought about it. One day a check came. It turned out that her husband, the one who cut off her nose, had died and she was the legal heir to his allotment. His second wife had no claim.
Nosy took the check down to the bank and opened an account. Then she went over to the mercantile store and bought a radio. That radio stayed on day and night, murmuring along when it was turned down and blaring when it was turned up. After a while, no one paid attention except Nosy.
If the clouds were just right so that they bounced radio waves a certain way, a Canadian radio station would come in from Calgary or Lethbridge. It was a station that played classical music and when it was audible, Nosy sat by the radio with the cat in her lap and wouldn’t talk to anyone. There were certain violin concertos that made her grin, -- those old teeth flashing under that hole in her face.

Lieber Heinz und liebe Kaethi! Dies ist ein herrliches und schoenes Album von Euch vom Flug Biarritz nach Genf. Es war mir eine Freude Euch zu begleiten. ;0) Ich danke Euch fuer Eure netten Anmerkungen in meinem Winteralbum. Das Eis hat uns getragen. Es war keine Gefahr. Aber trotzdem war es mir wohler als ich wieder an Land war und festen Boden unter den Fuessen hatte. Einen schoenen Sonntag und alles Gute, Christine.

Dear Kaethi and Henri, it was a pleasure to fly with you! I never take pictures in a plane since I prefer the aisle over the window (which means that I also miss a lot of beautiful views from above). Therefore, I enjoyed very much watching your pictures. Also the pictures from the airport were interesting, I'm usually too nervous too think about taking pictures while waiting for my flight... Thank you very much for travelling with me to Brasov. I would like to invite Henri to Dracula's castle in an album of Bran castle that I shared few weeks ago. Wishing you both a wonderful day, Yair.

Salut Kaethi - This album is very interesting - I send you warm sunshine from The World’s Luckiest Fishing Village, Destin, Florida USA - I recently visited your photos and enjoyed them very much - We should be Webshots friends - Please visit my page and invite me as I technically cannot invite people – Webshots does not like people who are too friendly and has a policy that limits members to only 250 friends – I say, “Nonsense!” – Please invite me and defy this unwarranted restriction - If you get some time, please take a look at what I’ve been doing – Many of my photos have been featured - All my art starts as a normal digital photograph – But, I think you might be surprised that I do not use any special digital manipulation software to create it – I pride myself on only using the basic rudimentary tools provided with my Canon camera – ZoomBrowser – I only tweak contrast, saturation, brightness and color tone curve adjustments to achieve the desired effect – The use of ChromaDepth 3D glasses greatly enhances the effect – Thanks - - Larry

Vous êtes, tous les deux, d'une délicatesse et d'une gentillesse rares. Et très doués en plus! Je me considère privilégiée de correspondre avec des amis comme vous deux. En plus de notre passion commune pour la photographie, je sens que se tissent les liens d'une sincère amitié. Et cela me fait chaud au coeur! Au plaisir de vous relire! En attendant, je vais visiter d'autres de vos albums! Amitiés, Annick

Hello Heinz and Käthi, I have enjoyed this album very much. All pictures are so fantastic. I especially liked the aerial views of the mountains, and the nearing of Geneva. Also the pictures of the nearing of Biarritz are wonderful. I saw them via slideshow mode, and it was really as if you came out of the clouds and the haziness into the sunshine. I also liked nr. 57 (Pays Basque), it is cute to see how the land is divided by different use of it. (I hope you understand what I mean, can’t explain it otherwise). My absolute favourite picture though is nr. 22 “Lower part of the Lake of Geneva”. Thanks for letting me travel with you on this journey. It was a great joy. Love and hugs, Els

Bonjour Kaethi et Heinz, je viens de faire un merveilleux voyage par-dessus montagnes, lacs et nuages. Quelle magnifique façon de nous faire partager ce périple entre Biarritz et Genève. Vous nous avez rempli les yeux de spendides panoramas aériens. Kaethi et Heinz, je vous dois un immense merci pour vos si gentils commentaires laissés sur les photos du CC Patterns. La chance a souri, cette fois, à d'autres, mais de vous avoir pour amis et d'avoir eu le plaisir de vous lire me donnent l'impression d'avoir gagné le gros lot. Bien affectueusement, Annick

Well I have to start this album by being honest...I came by to join you for the flight a few days ago...but then I saw that small little airplane and I high-tailed (ran)back out of here...but now I see that I am just a big chicken (coward) and all these other people went and got back without a scratch..so I will be brave...will go up the small steps, into the small plane...sit down..strap myself in..(and squeeze Kaethi's hand the WHOLE trip :D)..here we go (shiver, shiver, shake, shake...oh no)...

Great arial shots. I can't seem to get my feet off the ground. Oh well, I can still take photos at ground level. My friend, despite my pessimism, I have actually completed uploading, titling, captioning, and tagging the complete 13 albums of my recent roadtrip to the four corners area, and, have reordered it so that the first day is at the top and continues down day to day from there. That being said, please have a look and leave any compliments or critique you wish. As well, because I have fallen so far out of the loop, please feel free to leave a hint in one of your comments to anything special or new on your site you should wish me to take a look at!

Thanks dear Heinz and Kaethi for this beautiful air trip from roundtrip to Geneva. The experience is spectacular by the views from the airplane. What but I have liked is to see the shore of the lake of Geneve with the Alps at background. An authentic privilege from the air. I have enjoyed this wonderful trip, having remembered my distant trips to embark when I was sailor. Thousand thanks dear friends. A strong hug. Jesus

Lieber Heinz und liebe Kaethi! Hoffe Ihr hattet ein paar schoene Feiertage und seid gut ins Neue Jahr gekommen. Bei uns ist alles okay, nur sehr kalt, etwa minus 30 bis minus 40 Grad C. - Dies ist ja ein herrliches Album von Euch vom Flug Biarritz nach Genf... Ihr seid ja in Euerem Alter noch viel unterwegs, wir sind jetzt beide um die 70, aber nicht mehr viel unterwegs. - Alles Gute vom kalten Canada von Hans Ulrich (Joyce gruesst auch).

We will be picking up a car at the Madrid airport in May and travelling to San Sebastian (with a stop in Segovia) From there we will be going to the French Pays Basque and onward to La Rochelle, Dordogne, and ending in Toulouse. We once rented a car in Barcelona and dropped it in Perpignan, France and picked up another one at the same location, and dropped it, ultimately, somewhere in France without paying a dropoff fee, but it seems this is not possible on the west coast of Spain and France.
Does anyone have any suggestions or know of a car rental company that might do this? I have tried Hertz, Avis, AutoEurope and economycarrentals.com to no avail.
I know I can drop the car in San Sebastian and pick up another one in Biarritz ( which seems to be the nearest location to the French border. Does anyone know how much a taxi would cost from SS to Biarritz?
Any advice and information would be appreciated.
Barb
