Loren Miller
Civil Rights Attorney and Journalist
By Amina Hassan
Loren Miller was one of the nations most prominent civil rights attorneys from
the 1940s through the early 1960s, particularly in the fields of housing and
education. With co-counsel Thurgood Marshall, he argued two landmark civil
rights cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, whose decisions effectively abolished
racially restrictive housing covenants. One of these cases, Shelley v. Kraemer
(1948), is taught in nearly every American law school today. Loren Miller: Civil
Rights Attorney and Journalist recovers this remarkable figure from the margins of
history and for the first time fully reveals his life for what it was: an extraordinary
American story and a critical chapter in the annals of racial justice.
Born the son of a former slave and a white midwesterner in 1903, Loren Miller
lived the quintessential American success story, both by rising from rural poverty
to a position of power and influence and by blazing his own path. Author Amina
Hassan reveals Miller as a fearless critic of the powerful and an ardent debater
whose acid wit was known to burn holes in the toughest skin and eat right
through double-talk, hypocrisy, and posturing.
As a freshly minted member of the bar who preferred political activism and writing
to the law, Miller set out for Los Angeles from Kansas in 1929. Hassan describes his
early career as a fiery radical journalist, as well as his ownership of the California
Eagle, one of the longest-running African American newspapers in the West. In his
work with the California branch of the ACLU, Miller sought to halt the internment
of West Coast Japanese citizens, helped integrate the U.S. military and the L.A. Fire
Department, and defended Black Muslims arrested in a deadly street battle with
the LAPD. Hassan charts Millers ceaseless commitment to improving the lives
of Americans regardless of their race or ethnicity. In 1964, Governor Edmund G.
Brown appointed Miller as a Municipal Court justice for Los Angeles County.
The story told here in full for the first time is of a true American original who
defied societal limitations to reshape the racial and political landscape of
twentieth-century America.
Amina Hassan, Ph.D., is an independent historian and award-winning public radio
documentarian whose productions include a 13-part series for National Public
Radio on how race, class, and gender shape American sports. She currently works
as a media content consultant and researcher for The Azara Group.

Following Oklahomas flagship school through decades that saw six U.S. presidents,
eleven state governors, and five university presidents, Volume 2 of The University of
Oklahoma: A History documents the institutions evolution into a complex, diverse,
and multifaceted seat of learning. By 1950 enrollment had increased fivefold, and
by every measurethe number of colleges and campus buildings, degrees awarded
and programs offered, volumes in the library, faculty publications, out-of-state and

unprecedented factors: two world wars, the cultural shifts of the 1920s, the Great
Depression, the rise of the petroleum industry, the farm crisis and Dust Bowl, the
emergence of new technologies, and new political and social forces such as those
promoting and resisting racial justice.
National and world events, state politics, campus leadership, the ever-changing
student body: in triumph and defeat, in small successes and grand accomplishments,
all come to varied and vibrant life in this second installment of the definitive history
of Oklahomas storied center of learning.

Although the poems gathered here take a variety of formshaiku, elegy, epicall
are imbued with the same lyrical and satirical styles that underlie Anayas fiction.
Together they make a fascinating complement to the novels, stories, and plays for
which he is well known. In verse, Anaya explores every aspect of Chicano identity,
beginning with memories of his childhood in a small New Mexico village and
ending with mature reflections on being a Chicano who considers himself connected
to all peoples. The collection articulates themes at the heart of all Anayas work:
nostalgia for the landscape and customs of his boyhood in rural New Mexico, a
deep connection to the Ro Grande, the politics of Chicanismo and satire aimed at
it, and the use of myth and history as metaphor.
Anaya also illustrates his familiarity with world traditions of poetry, invoking Walt
Whitman, Homer, and the Bible. The poem to Isis that concludes the collection
honors Anayas wife, Patricia, and reflects his increasing identification with spiritual
traditions across the globe.
Both profeta and vato, seer and homeboy, Anaya as author is a citizen of the world.
Poems from the Ro Grande offers readers a glimpse into his development as a poet
and as one of the most celebrated Chicano authors of our time.

Winters Hawk
Red-tails on the Southern Plains
By Jim Lish
Every autumn, thousands of migrating Red-tailed Hawks arrive on the southern
Great Plains to spend the winter, and Oklahoma is one of the best places to observe
this amazing phenomenon. Above the prairie, as Oscar Hammerstein wrote, they
make lazy circles in the sky, but not for entertainment, theirs or ours. Author Jim
Lish draws on more than forty years experience as a professional biologist and
ornithologist to present almost two hundred color photographs of Red-tails and
relate important lessons in southern Great Plains biodiversity, underscoring the
place of the Red-tailed Hawk in Oklahomas tallgrass prairie ecology.
Winters Hawk introduces the reader to the hawks biology, social behavior, and
useful role in limiting destructive rodent populations. In sharing many anecdotes
from his long experience in the field, Lish describes the hunting techniques of
Red-tails, their competition with other raptors, and their behavior in the presence
of human observers. He describes the subtle differences in plumage, and other
characteristics between the various subspecies of Red-tailed Hawks that winter
here. His account of their behavior includes intergenerational warfare, in which
young Red-tails are frequently the losers. Detailed and scientifically accurate, this
informal, jargon-free account will appeal to birders, sportsmen, naturalists, and
falconers as well as biologists.
Red-tails can see ultraviolet light, which enables them to easily locate trails left by
rodents. Cotton rats are by far their most important winter food, but they also eat
carrion, large snakes, medium-sized mammals, and smaller birds. The main motive
for the birds behavior, Lish reminds us, is survival, and he includes birds-eye
views of the hazards Red-tails face: foot injuries, damage to feathers, starvation,
electrocution, and illegal shooting.
A treasure trove of rich descriptive writing and astonishing photographs, Winters
Hawk inspires readers to help preserve these magnificent birds of prey so that future
generations may see a Red-tail standing sentinel over a field or circling above it.
Jim Lish is Associate Professor of Physiological Sciences at the Center for Veterinary
Health Sciences, Oklahoma State University. He has published numerous articles in
scientific journals, including the Proceedings of the Oklahoma Academy of Sciences,
The Southwestern Naturalist, the Journal of Raptor Research, and the Bulletin of
the Oklahoma Ornithological Society.

THE GRIZZLY IN THE SOUTHWEST
Documentary of an Extinction
By David E. Brown
$19.95s Paper 978-0-8061-2880-1
By the time The Biography of a Grizzly was published in 1900, grizzly bears
had been hunted out of much of their historical range in North America. The
characterization of Wahb, along with Setons other anthropomorphic tales of
American wildlife, helped to change public perceptions and promote conservation.
As editors Jeremy M. Johnston and Charles R. Preston remind us, however, Setons
approach to writing about animals put him at the center of the Nature-Faker
controversy of the early twentieth century, when John Burroughs and Theodore
Roosevelt, among others, denounced sentimental representations of wildlife.
The editors address conservation scientists continuing concerns about inaccurate
depictions of nature in popular culture. Despite its anthropomorphism, Setons
paradoxical book imparts a good deal of insightful and accurate natural history,
even as its exaggerations shaped early-twentieth-century public opinion on
conservation in often counterproductive ways. By complicating Setons enthralling
tale with scientific observations of grizzly behavior in the wild, Johnston and
Preston evaluate the storys accuracy and bring the story of Yellowstone grizzlies
into the present day.
Preserving the 1900 editions original design and illustrations, Wahb brings new
understanding to an American classic, updating the book for current and future
generations.
Ernest Thompson Seton (18601946) was a British-born author, wildlife artist,
cofounder of the Boy Scouts of America, and early pioneer of the modern school
of animal fiction writing whose best-known book is Wild Animals I Have Known.

Chutzpah!
New Voices from China
Edited by Ou Ning and Austin Woerner
To Westerners China has often seemed a monolith, speaking with one voice
whether that of an ancient dynasty, a socialist state, or an economic powerhouse.
Chutzpah! New Voices from China shatters this illusion, giving Western readers a
rare chance to listen to the brilliant polyphony of Chinese fiction today.
Here, in the realms of realism and fantasy, and portraying worlds lyrical, gritty, or
wildly avant-garde, sixteen selectionsthree of which are nonfictionby up-andcoming Chinese writers take readers from the suburbs of Nanjing to the mountains
of Xinjiang Province, from Londons Chinatown to a universe seemingly sprung
from a video game. In these stories one may encounter a sweet, lonely fabric store
owner or a lesbian housecleaner, a posse of shit-talking vo-tech students or a human
hive-mind. A jeep-driving swordsman girds himself for battle by reading Borges and
Nabokov. A Beijing-raised Kazakh boy hunts for his lost heritage. A teenager plots
revenge on the bureaucrat responsible for demolishing his home. A starving child
falls in love with a water spirit.
These stories, collected by Ou Ning and Austin Woerner, and offered in English by
leading translators of Chinese, travel the breadth and depth of Chinas remarkable
literary landscape. Drawn from the pages of Chutzpah!, once one of Chinas most
innovative literary magazines, this anthology bids farewell to the tired tropes
of moonlight and peach blossoms, goodbye to the constraints of social realism.
In their place it introduces us to the imaginative power, limitless creativity, and
kaleidoscopic pleasures of a new generation of Chinese fiction.
A Bishan-based artist, curator, and cultural activist, Ou Ning is author of New
Sound of Beijing. He served as editor-in-chief of Chutzpah! magazine (20112014),
from which this collection is drawn. Composer and translator Austin Woerner is
translator of Doubled Shadows: Selected Poems of Ouyang Jianghe; he was the
English editor for Chutzpah!

Painted Journeys
The Art of John Mix Stanley
By Peter H. Hassrick and Mindy N. Besaw
Foreword by Bruce B. Eldridge
Artist-explorer John Mix Stanley (18141872), one of the most celebrated
chroniclers of the American West in his time, was in a sense a victim of his own
success. So highly regarded was his work that more than two hundred of his
paintings were held at the Smithsonian Institutionwhere in 1865 a fire destroyed
all but seven of them. This volume, featuring a comprehensive collection of Stanleys
extant art, reproduced in full color, offers an opportunityand ample reasonto
rediscover the remarkable accomplishments of this outsize figure of nineteenthcentury American culture.
Originally from York State, Stanley journeyed west in 1842 to paint Indian life.
During the U.S.-Mexican War, he joined a frontier military expedition and traveled
from Santa Fe to California, producing sketches and paintings of the campaign
along the waywork that helped secure his fame in the following decades. He
was also appointed chief artist for Isaac Stevenss survey of the 48th parallel for a
proposed transcontinental railroad. The essays in this volume, by noted scholars
of American art, document and reflect on Stanleys life and work from every angle.
The authors consider the artists experience on government expeditions; his solo
tours among the Oregon settlers and western and Plains Indians; and his career in
Washington and search for government patronage, as well as his individual works.
With contributions by Emily C. Burns, Scott Manning Stevens, Lisa Strong, Melissa
Speidel, Jacquelyn Sparks, and Emily C. Wilson, the essays in this volume convey
the full scope of John Mix Stanleys artistic accomplishment and document the
unfolding of that uniquely American vision throughout the artists colorful life.
Together they restore Stanley to his rightful place in the panorama of nineteenthcentury American life and art.

A Contested Art
Modernism and Mestizaje in New Mexico
By Stephanie Lewthwaite
When New Mexico became an alternative cultural frontier for avant-garde AngloAmerican writers and artists in the early twentieth century, the region was still
largely populated by Spanish-speaking Hispanos. Anglos who came in search of
new personal and aesthetic freedoms found inspiration for their modernist ventures
in Hispano art forms. Yet, when these arrivistes elevated a particular model of
Spanish colonial art through their preservationist endeavors and the marketplace,
practicing Hispano artists found themselves working under a new set of patronage
relationships and under new aesthetic expectations that tied their art to a static
vision of the Spanish colonial past.

Picturing Migrants
The Grapes of Wrath and New Deal Documentary Photography
By James R. Swensen
As time passes, personal memories of the Great Depression die with those who
lived through the desperate 1930s. In the absence of firsthand knowledge, John
Steinbecks The Grapes of Wrath and the photographs produced for the New Deals
Farm Security Administration (FSA) now provide most of the images that come
to mind when we think of the 1930s. That novel and those photographs, as this
book shows, share a history. Fully exploring this complex connection for the first
time, Picturing Migrants offers new insight into Steinbecks novel and the FSAs
photographyand into the circumstances that have made them enduring icons of
the Depression.
Looking at the work of Dorothea Lange, Horace Bristol, Arthur Rothstein, and
Russell Lee, it is easy to imagine that these images came straight out of the pages
of The Grapes of Wrath. This should be no surprise, James R. Swensen tells us,
because Steinbeck explicitly turned to photographs of the period to create his
visceral narrative of hope and loss among Okie migrants in search of a better life
in California. When the novel became an instant best seller upon its release in April
1939, some dismissed its imagery as pure fantasy. Lee knew better and traveled to
Oklahoma for proof. The documentary pictures he produced are nothing short of
a photographic illustration of the hard lives and desperate reality that Steinbeck
so vividly portrayed. In Picturing Migrants, Swensen sets these lesser-known
images alongside the more familiar work of Lange and others, giving us a clearer
understanding of the FSAs work to publicize the plight of the migrant in the wake
of the novel and John Fords award-winning film adaptation.
A new perspective on an era whose hardships and lessons resonate to this
day, Picturing Migrants lets us see as never before how a novel and a series of
documentary photographs have kept the Great Depression unforgettably real for
generation after generation.
James R. Swensen is Assistant Professor of Art History and the History of
Photography at Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah.

THE NAVAJO AND PUEBLO SILVERSMITHS
By John Adair
$19.95 Paper 978-0-8061-2215-1
Recounting the scholarly detective work that revealed the full scope of Gonzaless
art and career, Dixon tells the story of a craftsman who was also a poet. He begins
with Gonzaless first signed literary work, a handwritten birthday poem decorated
with beautifully drawn flowers and birds, dated 1889, and then pieces together the
artists life and career. Through meticulous research into manuscripts and the dates
of tin cans that Gonzales repurposed into elegant, fanciful frames, niches, sconces,
and religious decorations, Dixon identifies as Gonzaless numerous pieces of poetry
and tinwork once attributed to anonymous poets and artists. His most important
discovery served as a Rosetta stone: an ink wash and watercolor drawing in an
ornamental tin frame (housed at the Millicent Rogers Museum in Taos), whose
documented provenance helped Dixon to identify Gonzaless other artwork.
More than 100 photographs of Gonzaless tinwork and more than a dozen
translations of the artists poetic and musical works punctuate the narrative. Both a
catalogue raisonn of a hitherto little-known artist and an anthology of his writings,
this book reconstructs the creative life of a long-overlooked talent, one whose quest
for beauty resulted in a prolific body of art and literature.
Maurice M. Dixon, Jr., is an artist and art historian based in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Brummett Echohawk
Pawnee Thunderbird and Artist
By Kristin M. Youngbull
A true American hero who earned a Purple Heart, a Bronze Star, and a
Congressional Gold Medal, Brummett Echohawk was also a Pawnee on the
European battlefields of World War II. He used the Pawnee language and counted
coup as his grandfather had done during the Indian wars of the previous century.
This first book-length biography depicts Echohawk as a soldier, painter, writer,
humorist, and actor profoundly shaped by his Pawnee heritage and a man who
refused to be pigeonholed as an Indian artist.

Through his formative war service in the 45th Infantry Division (known as the
Thunderbirds), Echohawk strove to prove himself both a patriot and a true Pawnee
warrior. Pawnee history, culture, and spiritual belief inspired his courageous
conduct and bolstered his confidence that he would return home. Echohawks
career as an artist began with combat sketches published under such titles as Death
Shares a Ditch at Bloody Anzio. His portraits of Allied and enemy soldiers, some
of which appeared in the Detroit Free Press in 1944, included drawings of men
from all over the world, among them British infantrymen, Gurkhas, and a Japanese
American soldier.
After the war, without relying on the GI Bill, Echohawk studied at the Art Institute
of Chicago for three years. His persistence paid off, leading to work as a staff artist
for several Chicago newspapers. Echohawk was also a humorist whose prodigious
output includes published cartoons and several parodies of famous paintings, such
as a Mona Lisa wearing a headband, turquoise ring, and beaded necklace.
Featuring eight of Echohawks paintings in full color, this thoroughly researched
biography shows how one unusual man succeeded in American Indian and mainstream
cultures. World War II aficionados will marvel at Echohawks military feats, and
American art enthusiasts will appreciate a body of work characterized by deep
historical research, an eye for beauty, and a unique ability to capture tribal humor.

The articles served as the basis for Jacksons 1884 romantic novel, Ramona, still
popular among Americans today. Jackson journeyed to Southern California in the
1880s to learn firsthand how Indians there lived. She found them in a demoralized
state, beset by failed government policies and constantly threatened with losing their
lands. The numerous articles and editorial responses she penned made her a leading
voice in the fight for American Indian rights, a role she embraced wholeheartedly.
As this collection also shows, Jacksons fondness for Old California helped shape
the regions mythology and tourist culture. But her most important work was her
influence in getting reservations set aside for the beleaguered Southern California
tribes. Although her recommendations were not implemented until after her death,
Helen Hunt Jacksons stark and revealing portrait drew national attention to the
effects of white encroachment on Indian lands and cultures in California and
inspired generations of reformers who continued her legacy. This unprecedented
collection offers fresh insight into the life and work of a well-known and influential
writer and reformer.
Valerie Sherer Mathes is a faculty member in the Social Science Department at City
College of San Francisco. Among the books she has authored or edited are Helen
Hunt Jackson and Her Indian Reform Legacy and The Indian Reform Letters of

The Scott ledgers contain an array of historic, linguistic, and ethnographic dataa
wealth of primary-source material on Southern Plains Indian people. Meadows
describes Plains Indian Sign Language, its origins and history, and its significance to
anthropologists. He also sketches the lives of Scott and Iseeo, explaining how they
met, how Scott learned the language, and how their working relationship developed
and served them both. The ledgers, which follow, recount a variety of specific Plains
Indian customs, from naming practices to eagle catching. Scott also recorded his
informants explanations of the signs, as well as a multitude of myths and stories.
On his fellow officers indifference to the sign language, Lieutenant Scott remarked:
I have often marveled at this apathy concerning such a valuable instrument, by
which communication could be held with every tribe on the plains of the buffalo,
using only one language. Here, with extensive background information, Meadowss

Free to Be Mohawk
Indigenous Education at the Akwesasne Freedom School
By Louellyn White
Akwesasne territory straddles the U.S.-Canada border in upstate New York,
Ontario, and Quebec. In 1979, in the midst of a major conflict regarding selfgovernance, traditional Mohawks there asserted their sovereign rights to selfeducation. Concern over the loss of language and culture and clashes with the
public school system over who had the right to educate their children sparked the
birth of the Akwesasne Freedom School (AFS) and its grassroots, community-based
approach. In Free to Be Mohawk, Louellyn White traces the history of the AFS,
a tribally controlled school operated without direct federal, state, or provincial
funding, and explores factors contributing to its longevity and its impact on alumni,
students, teachers, parents, and staff.
Through interviews, participant observations, and archival research, White presents
an in-depth picture of the Akwesasne Freedom School as a model of Indigenous
holistic education that incorporates traditional teachings, experiential methods,
and language immersion. Alumni, parents, and teachers describe how the school
has fostered a strong sense of what it is to be fully Mohawk. White explores
the complex relationship between language and identity and shows how AFS
participants transcend historical colonization by negotiating their sense of self.
According to Mohawk elder Sakokwenionkwas (Tom Porter), The prophecies
say that the time will come when the grandchildren will speak to the whole world.
The reason for the Akwesasne Freedom School is so the grandchildren will have
something significant to say. In a world where forced assimilation and colonial
education have resulted in the loss or endangerment of hundreds of Indigenous
languages, the Akwesasne Freedom School provides a cultural and linguistic
sanctuary. Whites timely study reminds readers, including the Canadian and U.S.
governments, of the critical importance of an Indigenous nations authority over the
education of its children.
Louellyn White is an Assistant Professor in the First Peoples Studies Program
at Concordia University in Montreal. Her work has been published in the
Encyclopedia of American Indian History and the American Indian Culture and
Research Journal.

Californio Portraits
Baja Californias Vanishing Culture
By Harry W. Crosby
First published in 1981, Harry W. Crosbys Last of the Californios captured the
history of the mountain people of Baja California during a critical moment of
transition, when the 1974 completion of the transpeninsular highway increased
the Californios contact with the outside world and profoundly affected their
traditional way of life. This updated and expanded version of that now-classic work
incorporates the fruits of further investigation into the Californios lives and history,
by Crosby and others. The result is the most thorough and extensive account of
the people of Baja California from the time of the peninsulas occupation by the
Spaniards in the seventeenth century to the present. Californio Portraits combines
history and sociology to provide an in-depth view of a culture that has managed to
survive dramatic changes.

Having ridden hundreds of miles by mule to visit with various Californio families
and gain their confidence, Crosby provides an unparalleled view of their unique
lifestyle. Beginning with the story of the first Californiosthe eighteenth-century
presidio soldiers who accompanied Jesuit missionaries, followed by miners and
independent ranchersCrosby provides personal accounts of their modern-day
descendants and the ways they build their homes, prepare their food, find their
water, and tan their cowhides. Augmenting his previous work with significant new
sources, material, and photographs, he draws a richly textured portrait of a people
unlike any otherfamilies cultivating skills from an earlier century, living in semiisolation for decades and, even after completion of the transpeninsular highway,
reachable only by mule and horseback.
Combining a revised and updated text with a new foreword, introduction, and
updated bibliography, Californio Portraits offers the clearest and most detailed
portrait possible of a fascinating, unique, and inaccessible people and culture.

Imagined Frontiers
Contemporary America and Beyond
By Carl Abbott
We live near the edgewhether in a settlement at the core of the Rockies, a gated
community tucked into the wilds of the Santa Monica Mountains, a silicon culture
emerging in the suburbs, or, in the future, homesteading on a terraformed Mars. In
Imagined Frontiers, urban historian and popular culture scholar Carl Abbott looks
at the work of American artists who have used novels, film, television, maps, and
occasionally even performance art to explore these frontiersthe metropolitan
frontier of suburban development, the classic continental frontier of American
settlement, and the yet unrealized frontiers beyond Earth.
Focusing on writers and artists working during the past half-century, an era of
global economic and social reach, Abbott describes the dialogue between historians
and social scientists seeking to understand these frontier places and the artists
reimagining them in written and visual fictions. This book offers perspectives on
such well-known authors as T. C. Boyle and John Updike and on such familiar
movies and television shows as Falling Down and The Sopranos. By putting The
Rockford Files and the cult favorite Firefly in conversation with popular fiction
writers Robert Heinlein and Stephen King and literary novelists Peter Matthiessen
and Leslie Marmon Silko, Abbott interweaves the disparate subjects of western
history, urban planning, and science fiction in a single volume.

actions of individuals got the dam removed and, in the process, pushed Superfund
to allow more public participation in decision making and to emphasize restoration
over containment of polluted environments. A federal program designed to
deal with the toxic legacies of industrialization thus became a starting point for
restoring Americas most damaged environments, largely through the efforts of local

Calamity Jane
A Readers Guide
By Richard W. Etulain
This exhaustive bibliographical reference will be the first stop for anyone looking
for Calamity Jane in print, film, or photographand wanting to know how reliable
those sources may be. Richard W. Etulain, renowned western-U.S. historian and the
author of a recent biography of this charismatic figure, enumerates and assesses the
most valuable sources on Calamity Janes life and legend in newspapers, magazines,
journals, books, and movies, as well as historical and government archives.
Etulain begins with a brief biography of Martha Canary, aka Calamity Jane (1856
1903), then analyzes the origins and growth of her legends. The sources, Etulain
shows, reveal three versions of Calamity Jane. In the most popular one, she was a
Wild Woman of the Old West who helped push a roaring frontier through its final
stages. This is the Calamity Jane who fought Indians, marched with the military,
and took on the bad guys. Early in her life she also hoped to embody the pioneer
woman, seeking marriage and a stable family and home. A third, later version made
of Calamity an angel of mercy who reached out to the poor and nursed smallpox
victims no one else would help.
The hyperbolic journalism of the Old West, as well as dime novels and the stretchers
Calamity herself told in her interviews and autobiography, shaped her legends
through much of the twentieth century. Many of the sensational early accounts of
Calamitys life, Etulain notes, were based on rumor and hearsay. In illuminating the
role of the Deadwood Dick dime novel series and other pulp fiction in shaping what
we knowor think we knowof the American West, Etulain underscores one of
his fascinating themes: the power of popular culture.
The product of twenty years labor sifting fact from falsehood or distortion, this
bibliography and readers guide includes brief discussions of nearly every items
contents, along with a terse, entertaining evaluation of its reliability.
Richard W. Etulain is Professor Emeritus of History and former director of the

In Still in the Saddle, Nelson offers readers a new history of the Hollywood Western
in the 1970s, a time when filmmakers tried to revive the genre by appealing to
a diverse audience that included a new generation of socially conscious viewers.
Nelson considers a comprehensive filmography of releases from 1969 to 1980 in
light of the visual tropes and narratives developed and reworked in the genre from
the 1930s to the present. In so doing, he reveals the complexity of what is probably
the most interesting period in Western movie history. His incisive reevaluations
of such celebrated (or infamous) films as The Wild Bunch and Heavens Gate and
examinations of dozens of forgotten and neglected Westerns, including the final
films of John Wayne, demonstrate that there was more to the 1970s Western than
simple revision. Instead, we see not only important connections between canonical
and lesser-known films of the period, but also continuities between these and
older Westerns. Nelson believes an ongoing, cyclical process of regeneration thus
transcends established divisions in the genres history.
Among the books currently challenging the prevailing evolutionary account of
the Western, Still in the Saddle thoroughly revises our understanding of this exciting
and misunderstood period in the Westerns history and adds innovatively and
substantially to our knowledge of the genre as a whole.

When as an adult Villarreal began to wonder how the few recordings of women
singers made their way into that jukebox, questions about the money seemed
inseparable from those about the music. In Listening to Rosita, Villarreal seeks
answers by pursuing the story of a small group of Tejana singers and entrepreneurs
in Corpus Christi, Houston, and San Antoniothe Texas Triangleduring the
mid-twentieth century. Ultimately she recovers a social world and cultural landscape
in central south Texas where Mexican American women negotiated the shifting
boundaries of race and economics to assert a public presence.
Drawing on oral history, interviews, and insights from ethnic and gender studies,
Listening to Rosita provides a counternarrative to previous research on la msica
tejana, which has focused almost solely on musicians or musical genres. Villarreal
instead chronicles womens roles and contributions to the music industry. In
spotlighting the sixty-year singing career of San Antonian Rosita Fernandez, the
author pulls the curtain back on all the women whose names and stories have been
glaringly absent from the ethnic and economic history of Tejana music and culture.
The first oral history of the Tejana cantantes who performed and owned businesses
in the Texas Triangle, Listening to Rosita shows how ethnic Mexican entrepreneurs
developed a unique identity in striving for success in a society that demeaned and
segregated them. In telling their story, this book supplies a critical chapter long
missing from the history of the West.

Tarahumara Medicine
Ethnobotany and Healing among the Rarmuri of Mexico
By Fructuoso Irigoyen-Rascn
With Alfonso Paredes
The Tarahumara, one of North Americas oldest surviving aboriginal groups, call
themselves Rarmuri, meaning nimble feetand though they live in relative isolation
in Chihuahua, Mexico, their agility in long-distance running is famous worldwide.
Tarahumara Medicine is the first in-depth look into the culture that sustains the great
runners. Having spent a decade in Tarahumara communities, initially as a medical student
and eventually as a physician and cultural observer, author Fructuoso Irigoyen-Rascn is
uniquely qualified as a guide to the Rarmuris approach to medicine and healing.
In developing their healing practices, the Tarahumaras interlaced religious lore, magic,
and careful observations of nature. Irigoyen-Rascn thoroughly situates readers in the
Rarmuris environment, describing not only their health and nutrition but also the
mountains and rivers surrounding them and key aspects of their culture, from longdistance kick-ball races to corn beer celebrations and religious dances. He describes the
Tarahumaras curing ceremonies, including their ritual use of peyote, and provides a
comprehensive description of Tarahumara traditional herbal remedies, including their
botanical characteristics, attributed effects, and uses.
To show what these practicesand the underlying concepts of health and diseasemight
mean to the Rarmuri and to the observer, Irigoyen-Rascn explores his subject from both
an outsider and an insider (indigenous) perspective. For example, the Tarahumaras consider
pregnancy a form of diseasea connection that, though odd to Westerners, makes sense
within the Tarahumara worldview and vulnerability in a harsh mountainous environment.
Through his balanced approach, Irigoyen-Rascn brings to light relationships between
the Rarmuri healing system and conventional medicine, and adds significantly to our
knowledge of indigenous American therapeutic practices.
As the most complete account of Tarahumara culture ever written, Tarahumara
Medicine grants readers access to a world rarely seenat once richly different from and
inextricably connected with the ideas and practices of Western medicine.
Fructuoso Irigoyen-Rascn is a psychiatrist in McAllen, Texas. A former researcher at
universities in Mexico and the United States, he has written extensively about Rarmuri
ethnography and medical conditions. Alfonso Paredes is Professor of Psychiatry at the
University of CaliforniaLos Angeles and author of more than 100 medical papers,
including several on the Tarahumara.

By Hernando Ruiz de Alarcn
$39.95s Paper 978-0-8061-2031-7
A Spaniard originally from Italy, the polymath Lorenzo Boturini Benaduci (1702
1753), known as Boturini, traveled to New Spain in 1736. Becoming fascinated
by the Mesoamerican cultures of the New World, he collected and copied native
writingsand learned Nahuatl, the language in which most of these documents
were written. Boturinis incomparable collectionconfiscated, neglected, and
dispersed after the Spanish crown condemned his intellectual pursuitsbecame
the basis of his Idea of a New General History of North America. The volume,
completed in 1746 and written almost entirely from memory, is presented here
in English for the first time, along with the Catlogo, Boturinis annotated
enumeration of the works he had gathered in New Spain.
Stafford Pooles lucid and nuanced translation of the Idea and Catlogo allows
Anglophone readers to fully appreciate Boturinis unique accomplishment and his
unparalleled and sympathetic knowledge of the native peoples of eighteenth-century
Mexico. Pooles introduction puts Boturinis feat of memory and scholarship into
historical context: Boturini was documenting the knowledge and skills of native
Americans whom most Europeans were doing their utmost to denigrate. Through
extensive, thoughtful annotations, Poole clarifies Boturinis references to GrecoRoman mythology, authors from classical antiquity, humanist works, ecclesiastical
and legal sources, and terms in Nahuatl, Spanish, Latin, and Italian. In his notes to
the Catlogo, he points readers to transcriptions and translations of the original
materials in Boturinis archive that exist today.
Invaluable for the new light they shed on Mesoamerican language, knowledge,
culture, and religious practices, the Idea of a New General History of North
America and the Catlogo also offer a rare perspective on the intellectual practices
and prejudices of the Bourbon eraand on one of the most curious and singular
minds of the time.

Californio Lancers
The 1st Battalion of Native Cavalry in the Far West, 18631866
By Tom Prezelski
More than 16,000 Californians served as soldiers in the Union Army during the
Civil War. One California unit, the 1st Battalion of Native Cavalry, consisted largely
of Californio Hispanic volunteers from the Cow Counties of Southern California
and the Central Coast. Out-of-work vaqueros who enlisted after drought decimated
the herds they worked, the Native Cavalrymen lent the army their legendary
horsemanship and carried lances that evoked both the romance of the Californios
and the Spanish military tradition. Californio Lancers, the first detailed history of
the 1st Battalion, illuminates their role in the conflict and brings new diversity to
Civil War history.

Author Tom Prezelski notes that the Californios, less than a generation removed
from the U.S.-Mexican War, were ambivalent about serving in the Union Army,
but poverty trumped their misgivings. Based on his extensive research in the
service records of individual officers and enlisted men, Prezelski describes both the
problems and the accomplishments of the 1st Battalion. Despite a desertion rate
among enlisted men that exceeded 50 percent for some companies, and despite the
feuds among its officers, the Native Cavalry was the face of federal authority in the
region, and their presence helped retain the West for the Union during the rebellion.
The battalion pursued bandits, fought an Indian insurrection in northern California,
garrisoned Confederate-leaning southern California, patrolled desert trails, guarded
the border, and attempted to control the Chiricahua Apaches in southern Arizona.
Although some ten thousand Spanish-surnamed Americans served during the Civil
War, their support of the Union is almost unknown in the popular imagination.
Californio Lancers contributes to our understanding of the Civil War in the Far
West and how it transformed the Mexican-American community.
Tom Prezelski is an independent historian whose articles have appeared in the
Journal of Arizona History, the Arizona Daily Star, and the Tucson Sentinel. A
former Arizona State Representative, he lives in Tucson, Arizona.

Seven individuals tales bring to life a long-ago year that enriched some,
impoverished others, and forever changed the face of North America. Responding
to often misleading promotional literature, adventurers made their way west via
different routes. Following the Carson River through the Sierra Nevada, or taking
the Lassen Route to the Sacramento Valley, they passed through the Mormon Zion
of Great Salt Lake City and traded with and often displaced Native Americans long
familiar with the trails. Their accounts detail these encounters, as well as the gritty
realities of everyday life on the overland trails. They narrate events, describe the
vast and diverse landscapes they pass through, and document a journey as strange
and new to them as it is to many readers today.
Through these travelers diaries and memoirs, readers can relive a critical moment
in the remaking of the Westand appreciate what a difference one year can make
in the life of a nation.

Napoleon in Italy
The battles of Front Royal and Winchester are the stuff of Civil
War legend. Stonewall Jackson swept away an isolated Union
division, making his presence in the northern Shenandoah Valley
such a frightful prospect that it triggered an overreaction from
President Lincoln and yielded huge benefits for the Confederacy.
Gary Ecelbargers comprehensive reassessment of those battles
shows their influence on both war strategy and the continuation
of the conflict.
Bypassing long-overused sources that have shrouded the Valley
Campaign in myth, Ecelbarger draws on newly uncovered
primary sourcesincluding soldiers accounts and officers
reportsto refute much of the anecdotal lore regarded as fact. He
narrates those suspenseful days of combat from the perspective
of battlefield participants and high commanders, weaving a
compelling story of strategy and tactics. And he offers new
conclusions assessing Lincolns military meddling, commending
Union soldiers for their fighting, and granting Jefferson Davis
more credit for the campaign than previous accounts.
Written with the flair of a seasoned military historian and
enlivened with maps and illustrations, Three Days in the
Shenandoah answers questions that have perplexed historians for
generations. Ecelbarger envisions the Shenandoah Campaign in
ways that will engage historians and fascinate Civil War buffs.
Gary Ecelbarger is the author of The Day Dixie Died: The Battle
of Atlanta, Black Jack Logan: An Extraordinary Life in Peace
and War, and We Are in for It!: The First Battle of Kernstown,
March 23, 1862. He lives in Annandale, Virginia.

A firsthand account of

The French and Indian War was the worlds first truly global
conflict. When the French lost to the British in 1763, they lost
their North American empire and most of their colonies in
the Caribbean, India, and West Africa. The French and Indian
War and the Conquest of New France, the only comprehensive
account from the French perspective, explores the fascinating
personalities and epic events that shaped French diplomacy,
strategy, and tacticsand determined North Americas destiny.
What began in 1754 with a French victorythe defeat at Fort
Necessity of a young Lieutenant Colonel George Washington
quickly became a disaster for France. The cost in soldiers, ships,
munitions, provisions, and treasure was staggering, and Frances
inept system of government made defeat all but inevitable.
Ultimately, author William R. Nester shows, France lost the war
because Versailles failed to provide enough troops and supplies
to fend off the English enemy.
Nester masterfully weaves his narrative of this complicated war
with the military, economic, technological, social, and cultural
forces that affected its outcome. Readers learn not only how and
why the French lost, but how problems leading up to that 1763
loss foreshadowed the French Revolution almost twenty-five
years later.
William R. Nester is author of numerous books on military
history, including The Epic Battles for Ticonderoga, 1758 and
The Revolutionary Years, 17751789: The Art of American
Power during the Early Republic.

Progressive Oklahoma
18031906
By Roy Gittinger
Near the end of the territorial era, that notion was challenged:
commercial farmers and trade unionists saw a need to
control the market through collective effort, and the sudden
appearance of new corporate powers convinced many that
the invisible hand of the marketplace had become palsied.
After years of territorial setbacks, Oklahoma Democrats
readily embraced the Progressive agenda and swept the 1906
constitutional convention elections. They went on to produce
for their state a constitution that incorporated such landmark
Progressive features as the initiative and referendum, strict
corporate regulation, sweeping tax reform, a battery of social
justice measures, and provisions for state-owned enterprises.

Rawhide Texas

A History of Conflict
and Diversity
By John Gherini
Foreword by Doyce B. Nunis
Introduction by Marla Daily
All Texans shared in the hard life of the frontier. Picture, if you
will, a circuit-riding preacher swimming his horse across swollen
streams to conduct a camp meeting. A doctor as he rides fifty
miles or more through rough country to set a broken bone or
deliver a baby, or a schoolteacher risking her life to protect her
pupils during an Indian raid. Or a newspaper editor, shot in the
back for telling the painful truth.
Theseany many morewere the people who built Texas.
Wayne Gard portrays them in informal sketches of pioneer life on
the Texas frontier, illuminating the still-emerging Texas character.
What makes a Texan tick? Youll find part of the answer in
Rawhide Texas.
Wayne Gard (18991986) was a longtime editorial writer for the
Dallas Morning News and President of the Texas State Historical
Association. He was the author of seven volumes of Texana and
southwestern history, including Frontier Justice and The Chisholm
Trail, both published by the University of Oklahoma Press.

Rising from the waters of the Pacific off the southern California
Coast, Santa Cruz Island captures the imagination. Once home
to a large Chumash population, in the nineteenth century it
became a self-sufficient island rancho. As with all islands of

PIONEER DOCTOR
NEW IN PAPERBACK
By Lewis J. Moorman
Pioneer Doctor is the story of a halfcentury of medical practice, from the
early days in Oklahoma Territory
to metropolitan conditions. Lewis J.
Moorman, M.D., once told a patient
who apologized for calling him out late
at night, You must remember, I started
with a team of Indian ponies twenty
miles from a railroad.
The book stands as an entertaining and
informative memoir, but its social and
cultural significance is clear. For here is
apparent a tremendous transformation
as countless young physicians like
Moorman went out from Louisville
Medical College, covering the plains with
horse-and-buggy doctors.
Lewis J. Moorman, M.D. (18751954)
began practice in Oklahoma Territory as
a horse-and-buggy doctor. A worldwide
authority on tuberculosis and former dean
of the University of Oklahoma School
of Medicine, Moorman is the author of
Tuberculosis and Genius.

A World Unconquered
The Art of Oscar Brousse Jacobson
By Anne Allbright, Janet Catherine Berlo, and Mark Andrew White
Oscar Brousse Jacobson (18821966) was a prolific artist who devoted much of his
career to the depiction of the wilderness of the American West, especially Arizona,
Colorado, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. He also became a passionate supporter of
the visual arts in the Southwest and an enthusiastic promoter of Native American
fine artists, such as the early Kiowa artists, Acee Blue Eagle, and others. Over the
course of his forty-year career at the University of Oklahoma, he oversaw the
dramatic expansion of the School of Art and the creation of an art museum in
1936 that would eventually become the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art.
A World Unconquered: The Art of Oscar Brousse Jacobson surveys the career of
this important yet often overlooked artist. Following his study at Bethany College
in Lindsborg, Kansas, with Birger Sandzn, Jacobson became an advocate for
modernism and embraced the wilderness as his primary subject. Drawn to the
seemingly inhospitable and desolate, Jacobson favored the desert, which eventually
led him to paint the Sahara in 192526. He balanced a productive painting
career with an inexorable desire to promote appreciation for and knowledge of
world cultures in the new state of Oklahoma. Jacobson organized exhibits of
Asian, Native American, and North African art and culture at OU and played an
important role in facilitating New Deal post office murals in the state.
