TABLE OF CONTENTS
Two of them - the Germans and
the Mexicans - are receiving
special recognition with articles in
this souvenir program. They are
singled out this year because each is
the subject of a new publication of
The Institute of Texan Cultures. The
German Texans by Glen Lich won
the Texas Historical Association
Award as the best book of its kind
published in 1981 . Our Mexican
Ancestors, Volume I, by Jeanne
Callihan, is the latest in The
Institute's series of books designed
to introduce children to their ethnic
heritage.
Both The German Texans and
Our Mexican Ancestors are
available at the Institute Store,
along with 29 other publications
which The Institute has produced.
You will also want to remember
this year's Festival with one of the
souvenir posters containing a
reproduction of the painting, "Busy
Week at the Home Place" by
Austin artist Fannie Lou Spelce. It's
a bit of nostalgia that you'll treasure
always. It's also available at the
Institute Store.
So welcome to the Texas Folklife
Festival. There's nothing quite like it
anywhere.

GUIDE TO THE
"BACK 40"
As you wander through the "Back
40" area of the Festival grounds,
you'll see participants in pioneer
dress demonstrating crafts, skills,
games and activities common to
frontier Texas.
Settlers from different parts of the
world brought their expertise in
agriculture, food preparation, home
building and functional and
decorative crafts to Texas. They
adapted these skills to their new
homeland and borrowed ideas from
each other and the native Indians.
This cross-cultural exchange of
knowledge made life on the frontier
easier and better for all.
The ethnic origins of these crafts
and skills have blurred through the
years. In fact, of the literally
hundreds of pioneer activities
demonstrated in the "Back 40," few
are recognizable as belonging to a
distinct culture. Rather, they have
become an integral part of Texas'
folk heritage and the state's history.
Enjoy your trip to frontier Texas
as you visit the "Back 40." The
participants you meet are eager to
share their knowledge with you. So,
watch closely, ask questions, get
involved and try your hand at
making lye soap, a cornhusk doll,
homemade peanut butter or an
adobe brick.
CRAFTS
"The Essentials"
Shelter, clothing and food - the
basics of life were settlers' first
concern. They found Texas a land of
plenty with abundant natural
resources, some familiar, some new
and exotic. As the immigrants
learned to work with the native
building materials, plants and
animals, they introduced new ones
to the environment.
Housing:
Dirt cheap and versatile, adobe
has been a basic building material
for thousands of years. The Aztecs
had been using adobe for many
purposes, as in constructing their
pyramids, when the Spanish
introduced the idea of blocks of
2
adobe for building.
From modest homes to palaces,
adobe was and still is a popular
building material in South Texas. At
the Festival, adobe brick makers use
clay, straw and horse manure. You'll
be invited to participate in every
step of the process, from mixing the
ingredients with your feet to
breaking the finished bricks from
molds.
Homes of rough-hewn logs were
common in various parts of the
world, wherever tall, sturdy trees
grew. In East Texas and other
wooded parts of the state, settlers
found plenty of material for log
cabins.
The log cabin you encounter in
the "Back 40" was actually built
during Festivals. The crew from
Devine began the cabin in 197 2
with axes, handmade nails, mud
mortar and logs from East Texas
hauled in by oxen.
Each year they patch up the
cracks and remodel the cabin. Stop
by and watch the axe men split
Log cabin building
shingles and the crew at work. Pitch
in and learn how to build a log cabin
yourself, if you're so inclined.
Frontier Texans often topped their
buildings with thatched roofs of
long-sheathed grass or tree
branches. As you watch the Festival
roof thatcher, you'll learn how to tie
willow branches in bundles and
attach them to rafters, building from
the bottoms to the sky.
Chimneys of bluejack clay and
cypress poles were common in East
Texas and at the Festival you'll see
an entire chimney built using these
very materials.
Clothing:
The creation of cloth with threads
is one of the most ancient of crafts.
Probably begun in ancient Egypt
and China, the spinning of wool,
mohair, cotton, flax, jute and human
Wine-making demonstration
or animal hair into threads was first
done by hand.
Drop spinning, as demonstrated at
the Festival, was largely supplanted
by the spinning wheel, although it is
still practiced by some cultures, such
as the Navajo Indians.
In the "Back 40" demonstrators
will show you how to transform a
fistful of wool into cloth. First, the
wool is carded , a process which
aligns the fibers. Yarn is produced
using the spinning wheel or drop
spinning and the threads are then
colored with natural dyes. Finally,
the threads are woven into cloth on
a loom.
For pioneer women, bonnets were
an important accessory for working
in the hot Texas sun. With the
addition of lace and ruffles, the
functional bonnet became
fashionable attire for church and
socials.
Under the tutelage of "Back 40"
pioneer women, you'll learn to make
poke and slat bonnets of gingham
and calico using traditional patterns.
Another essential for pioneers
were boots and the bootmaker at
the Festival demonstrates boot
making and repair using tools from
the early 1900's.
Food:
The staple of life for culture world­wide,
bread dates back at least to
7000 B.C. when ovens were in use
in the Middle East.
The Festival breadbakers
specialize in "Depression Bread"
baked in coffee cans. The bakers
teach the proper way to mix the
ingredients, knead the dough and
bake it. You'll want to be at their
booth when the loaves come out of
the oven to sample the hot
homemade bread. Youngsters get to
knead their own dough, put it in
cans and then return to get their loaf
when it's ready.
When they were out in the fields,
workers often baked hoecakes and
"Back 40" visitors are invited to
make their own cornmeal cakes on
hoes over open fires.
In order to enjoy vegetables and
fruits year-round, pioneers preserved
and pickled their garden produce
just as Festival "pioneers" do. Learn
to make tomato preserves and
peach, grape and mesquite bean
jelly. You'll soon find that pickling is
not just for cucumbers as you learn
how to pickle beets, jalapenos,
squash, watermelon rinds as well as
cucumbers in a variety of ways.
Sample cross-cut (bread and butter)
pickles and pick up recipes for all
your favorites.
There are many other food
· making demonstrations. The
winemaker brews his concoction
from a huge variety of berries and
fruits, including native Texas
mustang grapes. The folks from
Gilmer (home of Yamboree) offer
yam pie and visitors grind up
peanuts for homemade peanut
butter as the Frio County delegation
presents peanuts in all thei_r_ glory
(salted , boiled, roasted, chilted and
candied).
You'll learn to make sauerkraut
and 'coon oil cookies. The
herbologists reveal the secrets of
using spices in cooking. Taste
strawberry shortcake or amble over
to the chuckwagon for a heaping
bowlful of Texas chili served up by
the gregarious cowboys.
At the smokehouse you'll be
introduced to the methods of
preservation favored by the Indians.
Here you might be offered a taste of
smoked venison, cured jerky, prickly
pear apples, hickory nuts or acorns.
CRAFTS
"For Utility and
Embellishment"
Once the necessities of life were
taken care of, pioneers turned their
energies toward making their homes
more comfortable and their
surroundings more beautiful. Many
of these crafts began as utilitarian
and evolved into artforms through
the years, such as pottery and
quilting, while others have always
been strictly decorative, such as
etching and lace making.
The craft of chair caning is an old
one. Cane webbing was a feature of
the Egyptian pharaoh
Tutankhamun's day bed, and the
technique of caning you see at the
Festival is essentially unchanged
from those days.
Texas pioneers furnished their
homes with handmade furniture,
such as the cowhide chairs and
stools and the rocking chairs you'll
see being made in the "Back 40."
Pottery is another ancient craft
which lives at the Festival. In the
1800's a number of potteries sprang
up around the rich clay deposits of
East Texas and these supplied
pioneers with necessary utensils.
Of these potteries, only the
85-year-old Marshall Pottery_ is still
operating and each year thetr master
potter delights Festival-goers with
his skill as he makes hand-turned

As you watch the basketmakers at
work, you'll find that baskets can be
made from almost anything - pine
needles, log shavings, wisteria,
grapevine, English Ivy, oak, cypress,
honeysuckle, grass - using a
variety of techniques, including
wicker, splint arid coil.
Pioneer kitchen utensils were
crafted from materials at hand, such
as wood and gourds. "Back 40"
demonstrators carry on this tradition
making treenware ("treen" is Old
English for trees) and gourd dippers.
You can follow your nose to the

dip cat tails into tallow to make the
brightly burning candles pioneers
used for outdoor lights.
Sit in on one of the two quilting
bees in progress in the "Back 40"
and learn about this craft which
dates back to Medieval times. The
quilters will show you how to stitch
all kinds of traditional patterns -
each with a story to tell.
Like spiders spinning webs, the
bobbin lacemakers create intricate
patterns with a method that dates
back to the 1300's. As you examine
the collection of antique laces on
display and watch the lacemakers at
work, ask them about the
· fascinating history of their art.
· In the Middle Ages, armourers
and jewelers decorated their metal
works with engraved designs, first
scratching, then using acid to etch.
The technique was adapted to
printmaking by artists such as Durer
in the 1500's ar\d you can observe
this process at the Festival as the
etcher makes original zinc plates.
Then, pull your own print off the
etcher's press.
Sailors at sea used to while away
the time by engtaving designs on
whalebone. Discover the old art of
scrimshaw with a distinctive Texas
twist as the Festival scrimshaw artist
decorates horn and bone with
unusual designs.
At the side of the cane maker,
learn to carve a cane from native
Texas wood as you listen to the
history of cane making. The
broommaker will show you how to
make your own broom from "found"
materials and the lathe worker
instructs in the art of woodworking
on his machine.
DOWN ON
THE FARM
Most of the early immigrants to
Texas were farmers and ranchers.
The "Back 40" includes
demonstrations of typical farm and
ranch skills, while further back on
the grounds along the Durango
Street fence, visitors become
acquainted with barnyard animals.
Animals:
Horses of Arabian descent were
brought to the New World by
conquistadors in the 16th century
and were quickly adopted by the
American Indians. Also known as
the cow pony, buffalo horse and
mustang, the American Indian Horse
is the ancestor of most breeds of
horses in Texas.
There are only about 1000
purebred Indian Horses left in the
Pioneer com shelling machine
U.S. and you'll have the opportunity
to see and pet two of them at the
Festival. The mare ('Tejas") will
wear a Plains Indian squaw saddle
and leather chest piece and croup
cover adorned with feathers and
beads. The colt ("Choctaw Wind
Dance") will sport a feathered halter.
"A good cow dog is worth the
price of a good horse or a yoke of
oxen," claimed Stephen F. Austin.
In the "Back 40" you'll see these
dogs (also known as hog dogs) that
are specially trained to trail and bay
wild cattle and hogs. The owner­trainer
thrills listeners with his
exciting tales of chases with his dogs
through the forests of East Texas,
the underbrush of South Texas and
mountains of Big Bend.
Partake of food that was once
considered food for kings and gods
as you sample the orange, cotton
and huajillo honey offered by the
beekeepers. Study the bees at work
in glass encased hives as the
beekeepers explain the important
role bees play in pollination.
Goose down pillows, mattresses
and comforters were popular with
pioneer Texans and the Festival

hurt them, as summer is their
moulting season and the feathers
are already loose. In fact, plucking
the down helps make the Texas
summers bearable for geese. But,
there is a correct method of
plucking which you can learn from
the gooseplucker.
Sheepshearing is another skill
presented at the Festival as the
demonstrators shear Rambouillet
sheep with a 100-year-old gasoline­powered
shearing machine.

Black Bart is an imposing figure.

Ranching and
Farming
Skills:
Cowboys and vaqueros often
made their own gear and in the
"Back 40" you'll learn how to spin
horsehair and hemp into ropes,
make whips, ropes and bridle reins
of rawhide, and braid elm bark into
whips.
An invention from Pearsall will be
used to convert cactus into cattle
fodder at the Festival. You'll see an
early 1900's kerosene-powered
prickly pear burner scorch the
spines off cactus. This machine is
still used by ranchers in South Texas
to feed cattle in times of drouth.

You'll see a wheelwright,

and be sure and catch the trick

FRONTIER
PASTIMES
When their work was done, Texas
pioneers enjoyed a variety of games
and hobbies. Many of these
incorporated things on hand in novel
ways.
On the frontier, children's toys
were made of wood, corncobs,
string and other easily found
materials. Using just such humble
materials, the Festival toymakers
create imaginative folk toys such as
limberjacks, rubber band pistols,
stick horses, puppets, dolls and
carved animals.
In Frontier Playland, kids get to
jump in a pile of hay, compete in a
sack race, pitch washers, play a
game of marbles or play "devil's
pitchfork." They'll learn to make
their clothespin dolls, burlap
stitchery, kits, elm whistles and pull
toys.

Quanah Parker. Elisabet Ney. Big
Foot Wallace. They are long dead,
legends of a Texas now past. But,
oh what stories they could tell about
the early days in a state as colorful ,
vivid and romantic as any wild
imagining.
rice thresher or climb up in the
vaquero saddle. Select the song of
your choice on the juke box which
features music from around the
world. Beat on the drum and try on
the Indian headdress you'll find
within the tepee.
Downstairs, the Lower Gallery
features varied exhibits relating to
the changing cultural patterns of the
state.
A fantastic multimedia
presentation depicting the many
faces and places of Texas transports
visitors into fields of bluebonnets,
fertile farmlands and majestic
canyons. Another captures the
events and mood of the 1920's and
30's in San Antonio.
They come to life again at The
Institute of Texan Cultures, a totally
unique place where history is alive
as visitors participate in a personal
journey back to the very roots of the
state.
The log skidder in the Scottish area of exhibit floor
On an exhibit floor the size of a
football field, costumed interpreters
enthrall visitors with stories of old
Texas, Indian legends and customs
the early settlers brought with them
from many lands .. . lands like
Africa , Belgium, China,
Czechoslovakia, Denmark, England,
France, Germany, Holland, Italy,
Ireland, Japan, Lebanon, Mexico,
Norway, Poland, Scotland, Spain ,
Sweden, Switzerland and Syria!
In the Mexican area, you'll sit
down and grind corn for making
tortillas. Just behind the
Chuckwagon, you might mail a letter
to a friend from the turn of the
century Post Office. You may swivel
in a dentist's chair from 1912 and
be glad you've already had your
annual check·up!
Unlike most traditional museums
filled with remote glass cases, The
Institute of Texan Cultures offers
living history that can be touched,
listened to and experienced
firsthand . Walk inside the
sharecropper's cabin and examine
its furnishings as you listen to a
sharecropper on tape talk about his
experiences. Push the button on the
old saloon barrel organ in the Czech
area and listen to its lilting melody.
Turn the handle on the Japanese

Outside, there is still another part
of The Institute where visitors truly
participate. The "Back 40" is a
green, grassy expanse where visitors
explore a frontier cavalry fort
headquarters, a one-room
schoolhouse, a log cabin and an
Indian tepee. There's room to run,
play, laugh and learn . ..

The "Chili Queens" may have given it the name ...
PAINTING: "MARKET SQUARE" ARTIST: THOMAS ALLEN COURTESY OF THE SAN ANTONIO MUSEUM ASSOCIATION, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS
but Gebhardt gave "Chili" its flavor ... San Antonio style.
"CHILI QUEENS" of San Antonio sold hot chili and
other Mexican foods in Alamo Plaza beginning in the
1890's. As many as twenty-five senoritas served chili
by the bowl to San Antonians as well as to other
Texans and travelers passing through, as America
moved westward. Many believe that chili originated
in San Antonio, so it was quite natural for the
company destined to make America's favorite chili
to be founded here ...

ETHNICITY. • •
A Texas tradition in any language
German accordionist
Ethnicity. A curious word that
means "a cultural affiliation."
Ethnicity reflects the traits of a
particular group which are products
of a common heredity and cultural
tradition.
For instance, there are Polish
Texans, Irish Texans, Spanish
Texans ... each of which has a
unique set of " cultural affiliations."
All have helped formulate the
definition of "Texan" by contributing
customs, cultures and traditions to
the Lone Star State.
At The Institute of Texan Cultures,
ethnicity is central to the concept of
history. It provides a sense of
identity, a sense of belonging. The
floor of The Institute is the place to
discover the contributions of ethnic
groups in the areas of language,
literature, business, art, science,
technology and politics.
The Texas Folklife Festival brings
new meaning to the word ethnicity
as traditions come to life in the form
of 31 groups representing countries
from around the world. Each
delegation is important; each has
added its own spice to the history of
Texas; each represents the
continuing plot of a unique story.
This year we have chosen to
highlight two ethnic groups whose
backgrounds epitomize the
importance of ethnicity. The
Germans and the Mexicans are two
Irish singer
of the earliest and largest groups of
immigrants to Texas and their stories
provide insight into the continuing
influence of ethnic bonds.
Germans
From the beginning Texas offered
new hope for many Germans. By
1840 jobs were scarce in Germany
and the laborers were poorly paid.
Writers and intellectuals became
restless for a fresh environment with
political freedom to discuss ideas.
Ukrainian dancers
Gospel singer
After the Republic gained its
independence from Mexico in 1836,
German travel literature touted
Texas as a wild and fabulous land.
By the year 1860 several thousand
Germans had survived the long
voyage across the Atlantic to Texas.
German Texans were fond of their
heritage, particularly their festivals .
The Easter Fires of Fredericksburg
have their roots in ancient folk
practices of the Fatherland, as does
33
Polish dancers
New Braunfels' Kindermaskenball
and Maifest.
The influence of German
architecture is evident throughout
Central Texas. Small weekend
cottages called "Sunday Houses"
and six-sided churches are a familiar
sight in towns and gingerbread-laced
stone houses dot the Hill Country
landscape-many still occupied by
German Texans.
These immigrants also had an
impact on the budding farming and
ranching industry in early Texas.
The banking techniques borrowed
from the German tradition helped
finance first-time capital investments
and made loans possible for
newcomers. German milling was
influential in the establishment of
Texas flour mills and baking
businesses.
It has been said that the German
immigrants who came to Texas
brought with them an invisible
passenger-the German song, das
deutsche Lied. The lilting sounds of
polkas and waltzes fill the air at the
Texas Folklife Festival as
entertainers from San Antonio,
Boerne, El Campo, Dallas and other
Texas towns perform their native
dances. The bandsmen of
Fredericksburg High School-the
Bunny Band in its bright rabbit
costumes-celebrate the Easter
Fires Pageant.
The German Texans also
maintained their ethnicity by
incorporating home country foods
into their new way of life. At the
Festival visitors can sample German
sausage (wurst), a food so popular
with the Germans that residents of
New Braunfels have created a whole
festival around it-the Wurstfest­reminiscent
of the homeland
Oktoberfest.
The Institute of Texan Cultures
has recently published a book which
fully documents the story of these
immigrants. "The German Texans"
by Glen E. Lich is a mirror of the
past-a collection of lives, events,
photographs and memories painting
a vivid picture of the German's
experience in Texas. The book is
available in the Institute Store.

Mexicans
For over 300 years, from the
1500's to the 1800's, Texas shared
a common history with Mexico.
When Spain began to lose her
provinces in the early 19th century,
Mexico and its Texas satellite fought
for and won freedom from European
control. Mexico became an
independent nation in 1821 through
the combined efforts of Indians,
creates (American-born Spaniard)
and mestizos (half Spaniard-half
Indian). All were children of the New
World.
Alabama-Coushatta Indian dancers
For more than 60 years after the
Texas Revolution there was very
little immigration from Mexico to
Texas. After the Madero Revolution
of 1910, however, the pattern
changed drastically. Many land and
property owners were forced to
leave Mexico and most of them
chose Texas as their new home.
Mexican Texans played
enormously important roles in the
sheep and cattle industries. The
Mexican vaquero was the genesis of
the Texas cowboy. Typical ranching
gear included chaparejos (chaps),
bosals (halters), lassos (lariats),
mecate (horsehair rope) and
sombreros which eventually became
wide-brimmed stetsons.
Other aspects of Mexican Texan
ethnicity include contributions in the
areas of education and architecture.
Many Mexican missionaries founded
early Texas public schools. Mexican
architecture, featuring adobe
structures, dominates South Texas
as do laws resulting from Mexican
land grants and water rights acts.
Mexicans have always enjoyed
celebrations (fiestas) of many kinds.
In the Mexican Market at the Texas
Folklife Festival, brightly costumed
entertainers perform regional folk
dances from Mexico. Companies like
the Ballet del Mar of Corpus Christi ,

Ancestors, Volume 1" by Dr. D.
Jeanne Callihan - a unique
collection of children 's stories based
on historical accounts. Interesting
Mexicans are included from the time
of the Aztecs to the achievement of
Texas Independence. This book is a
genuinely fun way for children to
learn more about Mexican Texan
history and is available in The
Institute Store.
Ethnic self-consciousness has
been revived in the past few
decades. Ethnicity came of age in
the 1970's, and instead of
apologizing for their differences
many Texans are now celebrating
their heritage. At the Texas Folklife
Festival , groups sharing their
ethnicity in the form of
entertainment, arts, crafts, games
and food give you a chance to learn
about the backgrounds of others as
you discover more about your own. Mexican dancers

The 1982
Texas Folklife Festival
Commemorative Poster
She's been called a "primitive,"
"naive," "untrained" and "folk"
artist. She's been compared to
Grandma Moses and her work has
been displayed in prestigious
galleries from New York to Dallas.
She's Fannie Lou Spelce of Austin
and she is the featured artist of The
University of Texas Institute of Texan
Cultures' 1982 Texas Folklife
Festival commemorative poster.
Spelce's painting "Busy Week at
the Home Place", serves as the
central artwork for the 1982 poster.
"Busy Week" depicts many of the
pioneer traditions and activities
featured each year at the Festival in
the "Back 40" area of the grounds.
Fannie Lou's career began 16
years ago at the age of 58, when
, her first (and only) art teacher wisely
' advised her to forego lessons and
paint in her own natural style. The
teacher recognized that she had the
potential to become a great primitive
artist - a potential that could be
lost if she received formal lessons.
In describing the phenomenon of
the primitive artist, Betty Newman in
the Wall Street Journal said that
Fannie Lou Spelce and other folk
artists " ... have something strongly
in common: they are peculiarities in
the art world. Their creations don't
have a thing to do with what they
learned in art school, or with
popular artistic styles, or with a
yearning to be the center of
attraction at a gallery opening ... .
What these artists seem to be, more
than anything, are rare individuals
whose vision stayed pure in the face
of mass education, mass media and
mass macrame."
Fame came fast to the artist.
Before she sold a single painting,
the Kennedy Galleries in New York,
regarded as perhaps the most
definitive collectors and purveyors of
contemporary American art, gave
her a one-woman show. The
Smithsonian and a dozen other
respected magazines have featured
her. Her work has been included in
a number of books and important
collectors and dealers eagerly keep
up with her production. A Fannie
Lou Spelce painting now goes for a
sum in five figures.
Fannie Lou , who had taken up
painting as a hobby, has been a bit
nonplussed at this critical acclaim for
herself as a "primitive." (''I'm not
that old ," she quipped when she
heard the label for the first time.)
And in spite of all the attention
her work has brought her, she still
"draws" for her own enjoyment. "l
paint the things that I remember
with fondness ," she says, and these
typically include scenes from her
childhood, growing up on a farm .
The gossipy quilting bees, peach
harvests, the old home place, cotton
picking, washday Monday, butterfly
season , brush arbor meetings, cake
walks, socializing in the general
store, Christmas morning, the train
arriving at the depot - each is a
moment from Fannie Lou's youth,
captured in a way the viewer can
relate to, whether he grew up on a
farm or in downtown Houston.
These painted memories, with
their freshness and innocence, have
the ability to evoke emotion because
the artist paints her perception of
the moment. The spirit of sharing
and sense of community Fannie Lou
remembers as her family 's neighbors
and friends pitched in to help with
the farm chores is captured in "Busy
Week."
"Busy Week at the Home Place"
is also rich in detail, another Fannie
Lou Spelce trademark. Within this
single canvas, populated with some
50 people and 30 animals, are so
many activities it could be
considered a collection of paintings
- a collage of individual scenes.
The detail is so complete that the
viewer can identify each vegetable in
the neat rows of the garden and
count the buttons on the men's
shirts.
In addition to the Spelce painting,
the 1982 Festival poster features
the names of 35 ethnic and cultural
groups which helped settle Texas -
groups represented at the Festival
and on The Institute's exhibit floor.
The Festival's commemorative
poster series, begun last year on its
tenth anniversary, showcases the
work of Texas artists. Last year's
poster featured a watercolor by San
Antonio artist Brad Braune.
The 1982 Festival poster retails
for $15 unsigned and $40 signed
and is available at the Institute
Store, and by mail from The
Institute. It will be available on the
grounds during the Texas Folklife
Festival.
