Senator.

Senator Barry M. Goldwater - politician, ham radio operator, western art collector, aviator, and master photographer. Goldwater was an avid collector of Western Americana including the historic photographs in this collection. He loved the topography and romance of the West and sought to collect images to represent this ideal. Though considered a hobby, his collecting also served the greater purpose of documenting the history of Arizona. Goldwater even went so far as to place newspaper ads requesting those with historic photographs and ephemera to contact him for a possible donation or sale. He also opened up his home to students and researchers interested in viewing his collection. Now available for the world to see, this collection along with his fine art photographs depicts an Arizona rarely seen. "To attempt to show adequately the beauties of Arizona, either by pictures or by words, has always seemed to me a task too great for man. Neither the lens nor the written word can show the history or the romance that adds so much to the beauties with which this state has been endowed"--Barry M. Goldwater, Arizona Portraits (1940).

Senator Barry M. Goldwater - politician, ham radio operator, western art collector, aviator, and master photographer. Goldwater's interest in photography began in 1934 when his wife Peggy gave him a 2 1/4 inch redflex camera for Christmas. He pursued it as a hobby but he also had a definite purpose. The Goldwater family had been in Arizona since the mid 19th century and had established themselves as both businessmen and devoted civil servants. His interest in the people and places of Arizona ran deep and he decided to build his own historical record of the state. He carried a camera with him everywhere he went and it became an extension of Goldwater himself. Over the next thirty years, during his travels of his home state, the United States, and the world, he took 15,000 photographs and over 25 miles of film. Instructed by local photographer Tom Bate, inspired by Edward Weston and Ansel Adams, Goldwater developed a talent for photography that would be recognized worldwide. Since 1935, his photographs have been featured in approximately 250 shows. He was admitted as an associate member of the Royal Photographic Society and was a lifetime member of the Photographic Society of America. Goldwater frequently contributed to Arizona Highways and published over ten books featuring his photographs including Arizona Portraits (1940), The Face of Arizona (1964), and Delightful Journey (1970). While Goldwater was a popular Republican Senator, his true legacy was the photographic record he left for the people of Arizona. No other individual has documented so thoroughly the people and places of this state. His fine art prints and negatives can be fount at three Arizona institutions: the Arizona Historical Foundation, the Heard Museum, and the Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona. "My photography has taken me over, literally, every mile of the southwest, over both poles and every major country on the globe. But it is to Arizona that I turn for my inspiration and what I think has been my best work. It is my desire to share with future generations the Southwest that I love"--Barry M. Goldwater, Barry Goldwater and the Southwest (1976).

The designation dime novel refers to a variety of publications, including story papers and five and ten cent weeklies, that were printed from 1860 to 1926. The pulp fiction of the day, they provided an exciting escape for their readers. The stories represent several genres, including Wild West adventures, detective stories, urban outlaws, and romance. The first publisher of dime novels was Beadles in New York. The popularity of the dime novel grew quickly, as did the number of publishers and series. Series included, but are not limited to, The New York Detective Library, Beadle's Dime Novels, Beadle's Half Dime Library, Beadle's New York Dime Library, Old Sleuth Library, The New Buffalo Bill Weekly, Pluck and Luck, and the New Nick Carter Weekly .

While some stories stand alone, many were printed in a serial format with recurring characters like Buffalo Bill or Nick Carter. In addition to stories, some versions included brief news-of-the-day snippets. The most well known dime novel series had national circulations, with some issues selling over 300,000 thousand copies. The cover illustrations are of equal interest. The first 28 dime novels came in plain wrappers. Cover art began with issue 29, which had a woodblock image on the cover. The early covers set the standard for lurid and melodramatic images. Competition was fierce with regard to cover art and increased dramatically in 1874 when the first color image was used. Dime novels gave way to pulp magazines in the late 1920's, which in turn gave way to mass market paperbacks beginning in the 1950's.
