Forms are enclosed. PURPOSE The National Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Center perpetuates Western traditions in exhibits of high artistic quality and authenticity. Believing that the Center should have an influence beyond that of the exhibit hall, the Board of Trustees began the Western Heritage Awards program in 1960 to encourage others to tell the great stories of the West. The developing West is one of history's most exciting eras — a period when people from all nationalities, all walks of life sought a new life on the frontier. Although the U.S. Census proclaimed 1890 as the end of the frontier, it has no boundaries in the hearts of people the world over. The Wrangler winners listed here were recognized for their outstanding contributions to the understanding of that epoch. THROUGH THE COURTESY OF: PRINTING TIMES-JOURNAL PUBLISHING CO. -- DESIGN JEANIE RUEDY COMMERCIAL ART/DESIGN - PHOTOGRAPHY BUTCH HALE -- PAPER WESTERN PAPER COMPANY" Some of 1974 Wrangler Award winners would include THE NEW LAND (Theatrical motion picture), starring Max Von Sydow and Liv Ullman, and PIONEER WOMAN (Fictional Television Drama), starring William Shatner, David Janssen, Joanna Pettet, and Helen Hunt.
