“But no living man am I! You look upon a woman. Éowyn I am, Éomund’s daughter. You stand between me and my lord and kin. Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him.”

Éowyn is one of my favorite fictional characters for many reasons. I’m sure all of this has been said before, but I would say it again and again if one were to ask it of me. I admire Éowyn for the qualities she possesses and the many ways she could have failed, but did not. She suffered much from early childhood on, losing her parents, one to Orcs and the other to grief. Her uncle cared for her as his own child and she grew to love him as a father. Yet, when Théoden’s mind was poisoned, she did not shrink away and wither in depression, though the loss of family (to death and banishment) and Grima’s advances were ever-present. She let her pain show, yes, but she stayed by her uncle’s side. She was never afraid to show her emotions, just as she wasn’t afraid of death and pain. Even when Aragorn rejected her, she did not let her sadness overcome her or stop her from fighting for those she cared for. She was courageous and hardened, yet still kind enough to retain empathy. She did not cower away, though she was afraid, from the Witchking of Angmar, but threatened him, stood her ground, and protected the one she loved. When the war was over, she realized that the battlefield and death and slaughter were not so noble as she thought and turned her life around to become a healer. She is truly someone I could look up to.

In Focus: The American West, 150 Years Ago

In the 1860s and 70s, photographer Timothy O’Sullivan created some of the best-known images in American History. After covering the U.S. Civil War, (many of his photos appear in this earlier series), O’Sullivan joined a number of expeditions organized by the federal government to help document the new frontiers in the American West. The teams were composed of soldiers, scientists, artists, and photographers, and tasked with discovering the best ways to take advantage of the region’s untapped natural resources. O’Sullivan brought an amazing eye and work ethic, composing photographs that evoked the vastness of the West. He also documented the Native American population as well as the pioneers who were already altering the landscape. Above all, O’Sullivan captured — for the first time on film — the natural beauty of the American West in a way that would later influence Ansel Adams and thousands more photographers to come.
