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.

A History, Volume II: 19171950
By David W. Levy
In 1917 it was still possible for the University of Oklahomas annual Catalogue to
include a roster of every students name and hometown. A compact and close-knit
community, those 2,500 students and their 130 professors studied and taught at
a respectable (though small, relatively uncomplicated, and rather insular) regional
university. During the following third of a century, the school underwent changes
so profound that their cumulative effect amounted to a transformation. This second
volume in David Levys projected three-part history chronicles these changes,
charting the Universitys course through one of the most dramatic periods in
American history.

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
foreign students in attendancethe University was on its way to becoming a worldclass educational institution.
Levy weaves together human and institutional history as he describes the schools
remarkablesometimes remarkably difficultdevelopment in response to
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.
David W. Levy is retired as the Irene and Julian J. Rothbaum Professor of Modern

The Sooner Story


The University of Oklahoma, 18902015
By Anne Barajas Harp
Foreword by Carol J. Burr
David Ross Boyd stepped off the train in Norman, Oklahoma, on August 6, 1892,
and looked toward the southwest. There was not a tree or shrub in sight, wrote
the former Kansas school superintendent just hired to serve as the University of
Oklahomas first president. Behind me was a crude little town of 1,500 people,
and before me was a stretch of prairie on which my helpers and I were to build an
institution of culture.
By 1895, five years after the Universitys official founding, the school boasted four
faculty members (three men and one woman) and 100 students. Today the campus
is home to more than 30,000 students and 2,700 full-time faculty and is one of the
most respected public universities in the nation, with twenty-one colleges offering
hundreds of majors at the bachelors, masters, and doctoral level.
OUs remarkable journey from that treeless prairie to its present standing as a
world-class institution of learning unfolds in The Sooner Story. Arriving upon
the universitys 125th anniversary, the book updates a history that last left off in
1980, when William Slater Banowsky was at the helm. Author Anne Barajas Harp
examines the schools history through the lens of each presidential administration
from the beginning of David Ross Boyds tenure to the present moment in David
Lyle Borens presidency, now in its third decade. In describing what each president
encountered in his turn, she captures the unique character, challenges, and
accomplishments of each administration, as these reflect the universitys growth and
progress through the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
Discouraged? Boyd wrote at his arrival in 1892. Not a bit. The sight was a
challenge. The Sooner Story conveys the inspiration and excitement of meeting and
renewing that challenge over the past 125 years.
Anne Barajas Harp is Assistant Editor of Publications at the OU Foundation. Her
1987 OU journalism degree led to a career as a newspaper reporter, university
public relations director, and award-winning feature writer. OU 1959 journalism
graduate Carol J. Burr recently retired from a celebrated 40-year career as Director
of Publications for the OU Foundation and as Editor of Sooner Magazine.

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.

In Love and War


The World War II Courtship Letters of a Nisei Couple
By Melody M. Miyamoto Walters
The events of December 7, 1941, rocked the lives of people around the world. The
bombing of Pearl Harbor had intimate repercussions, too, especially in the territory
of Hawaii. In Love and War recounts the wartime experiences of author Melody
M. Miyamoto Walterss grandparents, two second-generation Japanese Americans,
or Nisei, living in Hawaii. Their love story, narrated in letters they wrote each other
from July 1941 to June 1943, offers a unique view of Hawaiian Nisei and the social
and cultural history of territorial Hawaii during World War II.
Drawing on her grandparents letters, Miyamoto Walters fleshes out what it meant
to live and work on the islands of Kauai, Oahu, and Hawaii during the war years.
Although to outsiders, twenty-somethings Yoshiharu Ogata and Naoko Tsukiyama
were both Japs, the couple came from different socioeconomic classes and
cultures. Naoko, the authors grandmother, hailed from a prosperous Honolulu
merchant family, whereas Yoshiharu grew up poor, part of the laboring class on a
sugar plantation on Kauai. Their courtship was riddled with challenges. He stayed
on Oahu, then moved to Kauai; she moved to the Big Island. Yoshiharu faced the
possibility of being drafted into the military. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor,
they both lived under martial law.
Some Americans, operating under nativist and xenophobic beliefs, questioned
Japanese Americans loyalty to the United States. But, as the letters collected here
show, the Nisei were patriots. Naoko and Yoshiharu spoke English, participated in
the YMCA and the USO, and taught in public schools. They embraced American
popular culturequoting lines of pop songs in their correspondenceand
celebrated both Japanese and American traditions. Through their experiences,
Miyamoto Walters shows how Japanese Americans negotiation of race, ethnicity,
and cultural space in wartime indelibly shaped Hawaiis postwar economic,
political, and social landscape.
Melody M. Miyamoto Walters is Professor of History at Collin College in
McKinney, Texas. Her articles have appeared in Overland Journal, the Journal of
Documentary Editing, and the Encyclopedia of Immigration and Migration in the
American West.

PRICE THE SONS OF CHARLIE RUSSELL

Commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of


the Cowboy Artists of America

The Sons of Charlie Russell


Celebrating Fifty Years of the Cowboy Artists of America
By B. Byron Price
If you grew up on American soil, whether you were a boy or a girl, you probably
played Cowboys and Indians in your backyard. If you grew up in the 1940s
and 1950s, you no doubt watched Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, and Gene Autry
with undying devotion, which is exactly why so many feel a very real and vivid
connection to western art.
The Cowboy Artists of America (CAA) was formed in 1965 at the Oak Creek
Tavern in Sedona, Arizona, by Joe Beeler, Charlie Dye, John Hampton, and George
Phippen. The twenty active members and nine emeritus members continued to feel
the influence of Charlie Russell and Frederic Remington, as well as other early
artists of the American West. The organization has weathered the oil boom and
bust, the rise and fall of the stock market, and the tech bubble. Through it all, its
members have been championed by individual, corporate, and museum collectors
who have embraced their art and the stories it tells.
The CAA is fifty years strong and looking forward to the next fifty years. The
Sons of Charlie Russell commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the formation
of the Cowboy Artists of America. From the beginning, the CAA set its course to
perpetuate the history, romance, and importance of the American West.

POETRY

The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution marked a critical passage on Chinas


road to modernity, as momentous for the world as it was for one boy caught up in
its throes. In poetry that juxtaposes the political and the personal, the social and the
individual, Luo Ying depicts a time when ultraleftist mass movements and factional
struggles penetrated the deepest level of private daily life. In bleak yet vivid portraits
of his mother, father, classmates, and coworkers, he reveals how the period indelibly
marred him. I am a red guard just as I always was, he writes.
Giving voice to the inner life of a man haunted by his experiences, Memories of the
Cultural Revolution bears witness to a traumatic time when ideology threatened to
crush individuality. Luo Yings poetry stands as eloquent testimony to the power of
the individual voice to endure in the face of dire social and historical circumstances.
Luo Ying is founder and chairman of the Beijing Zhongkun Investment Group and
director of the Chinese Poetry Institute of Peking University. He is author of several
collections of poetry in Chinese. Denis Mair has translated the work of numerous
Chinese poets into English, including the volumes Rhapsody in Black: Poems, by
Jidi Majia, and Reading the Times: Poems of Yan Zhi.

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!

In a forty-year career as an oil and gas investment analyst and as an investment


banker and strategic adviser on petroleum-sector mergers, acquisitions, and financings,
Thomas A. Petrie has witnessed dramatic changes in the business. In Following Oil, he
shares useful lessons he has learned about domestic and global trends in population
and economic growth, a maturing resource base, variable national energy policies, and
dynamic changes in geopolitical forcesand how these variables affect energy markets.
More important, he applies those lessons to charting a course of energy development
for the nation as the twenty-first century unfolds.
Since the 1970s, when Petrie began analyzing publicly traded securities in the energy
sector, energy has been at the center of the national security calculus of the United
States and its allies, and price volatility has continually whipsawed global markets.
Petrie uses this dramatic period in oil business history to relate what he has learned
from following oil as a securities analyst and investment banker. But the title also
refers to energy sources that could become available following eventual shrinkage of
conventional-oil supplies. With new sources such as unconventional hydrocarbons
extracted through horizontal drilling, the United States can ensure itself enough oil and
gas to sustain economic growth during the next several decades and thus buy the time
necessary to bridge the nation to a greener energy future when wind, solar, and other
technologies have advanced sufficiently to play a larger role.
In a new preface for this paperback edition, the author reexamines his eight lessons in
light of the recent game-changing collapse in oil prices and the presidential veto of the
Keystone XL pipeline.
Thomas A. Petrie, CFA, is Chairman of Petrie Partners, LLC, in Denver. He formerly
served as Vice Chairman of Bank of America/Merrill Lynch and was Vice Chairman
of Merrill Lynch until its acquisition by Bank of America in 2009. Petrie cofounded

firm that merged with Merrill Lynch in 2006.

A Polish Doctor in

My Mothers Memories of

and a Life Remade
By Barbara Rylko-Bauer

The definitive biography of an


enigmatic frontier gun wielder

Necessary and important. . . . A poignant and often moving


annex to Holocaust literature.Gretchen Schafft, author of
From Racism to Genocide: Anthropology in the Third Reich

Some of the legendary gunmen of the Old West were lawmen.


More, like Billy the Kid and Jesse James, were outlaws. Tom
Horn (18601903) was both and morea lawman, soldier,
hired gunman, detective, outlaw, and assassin.

Known as Jadzia (Yah-jah), Jadwiga Lenartowicz Rylko was a


young Polish Catholic physician in Ldz at the start of World
War II. Suspected of resistance activities, she was arrested in
January 1944. For the next fifteen months, she endured three
Nazi concentration camps and a forty-two-day death march,
spending part of this time working as a prisoner-doctor to
Jewish slave laborers. A Polish Doctor in the Nazi Camps
follows Jadzia from her childhood and medical training,
through her wartime experiences, to her struggles to create a
new life in the postwar world.

Horn became a scout and packer in the Apache wars in his


early twenties. He fought in the last major battle with Apaches
on U.S. soil and chased Indians into Mexico with General
George Crook. Horn bragged about murdering renegades and
was known for his brutal approach to law and order. Working
as a hired gun and range detective after the Johnson County
War, he was tried and hanged for killing a fourteen-year-old
boy. Horns guilt is still debated.
This masterful historical biography by historian Larry Ball
distinguishes truth from legend to present the definitive account
of the violent lifeand deathof Tom Horn.
Larry Ball is Professor Emeritus of History at Arkansas State
University, Jonesboro, and the author of five books, including
Desert Lawmen: The High Sheriffs of New Mexico and
Arizona, 18461912 and Elfego Baca: In Life and Legend.

In 2012, landscape photographers Michael P. Berman and William S. Sutton launched


their massive Wyoming Grasslands Photographic Project, a partnership between The
Nature Conservancy, Wyoming Chapter, and the Buffalo Bill Center of the West.
Working in the tradition of late-nineteenth-century explorers and photographers of
the American West, Berman and Sutton shot more than 50,000 digital photographs
of Wyoming prairie, from the Red Desert of southwestern Wyoming to the Thunder
Basin National Grassland of the states northeastern corner. The best of their
extraordinarily sensitive, revealing, and powerful images appear in these pages,
documenting the sweep and the seasons of the Wyoming landscape.
Essays by Frank H. Goodyear, Jr., and Charles R. Preston provide a contextual
framework for the spectacular images. Goodyear introduces us to the imagery of the
American West and explains the place of Bermans and Suttons work within that
tradition, and Preston focuses on the natural history of the grasslands, illuminating
the areas ecological diversity and changes through the seasons and over the years.
In eloquent words and pictures, including a foreword by environmental historian
Dan Flores, Wyoming Grasslands offers dramatic proof of how the land that
inspired the likes of Audubon and Bierstadt, while having altered over time, still
holds and demands our attention.

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.
Peter H. Hassrick is Director Emeritus and Senior Scholar at the Buffalo Bill Center
of the West in Cody, Wyoming, and the author or coauthor of numerous books,
including In Contemporary Rhythm: The Art of Ernest L. Blumenschein (with

Examines the sources of inspiration for alternative lines


of modernist innovation and mestizo creativity

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.

In A Contested Art, historian Stephanie Lewthwaite examines the complex Hispano


response to these aesthetic dictates and suggests that cultural encounters and
appropriation produced not only conflict and loss but also new transformations
in Hispano art as the artists experimented with colonial art forms and modernist
trends in painting, photography, and sculpture. Drawing on native and non-native
sources of inspiration, they generated alternative lines of modernist innovation and
mestizo creativity. These lines expressed Hispanos cultural and ethnic affiliations
with local Native peoples and with Mexico, and presented a vision of New Mexico
as a place shaped by the fissures of modernity and the dynamics of cultural conflict
and exchange.
A richly illustrated work of cultural history, this first book-length treatment explores
the important yet neglected role Hispano artists played in shaping the world of
modernism in twentieth-century New Mexico. A Contested Art places Hispano artists
at the center of narratives about modernism while bringing Hispano art into dialogue
with the cultural experiences of Mexicans, Chicanas/os, and Native Americans. In
doing so, it rewrites a chapter in the history of both modernism and Hispano art.
Stephanie Lewthwaite teaches in the Department of American and Canadian Studies
at the University of Nottingham, United Kingdom, and is the author of Race, Place,
and Reform in Mexican Los Angeles: A Transnational Perspective, 18901940.

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.

Higinio V. Gonzales (18421921) was more than a gifted metalworker. A man

Gonzales transcends categorization. In The Artistic Odyssey of Higinio V. Gonzales,
Maurice M. Dixon, Jr., who has spent more than thirty years studying New Mexico

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.
He is the coauthor of New Mexican Tinwork, 18401940. Carmella Padilla is an

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.

Voices of Resistance and Renewal


Indigenous Leadership in Education
Edited by Dorothy AguileraBlack Bear and John W. Tippeconnic III
Western education has often employed the bluntest of instruments in colonizing
indigenous peoples, creating generations caught between Western culture and
their own. Dedicated to the principle that leadership must come from within the
communities to be led, Voices of Resistance and Renewal applies recent research
on local, culture-specific learning to the challenges of education and leadership that
Native people face.
Bringing together both Native and non-Native scholars who have a wide range
of experience in the practice and theory of indigenous education, editors Dorothy
AguileraBlack Bear and John Tippeconnic III focus on the theoretical foundations
of indigenous leadership, the application of leadership theory to community
contexts, and the knowledge necessary to prepare leaders for decolonizing
education.
The contributors draw on examples from tribal colleges, indigenous educational
leadership programs, and the latest research in Canadian First Nation, Hawaiian,
and U.S. American Indian communities. The chapters examine indigenous
epistemologies and leadership within local contexts to show how Native leadership
can be understood through indigenous lenses. Throughout, the authors consider
political influences and educational frameworks that impede effective leadership,
including the standards for success, the language used to deliver content, and the
choice of curricula, pedagogical methods, and assessment tools.
Voices of Resistance and Renewal provides a variety of philosophical principles
that will guide leaders at all levels of education who seek to encourage selfdetermination and revitalization. It has important implications for the future
of Native leadership, education, community, and culture, and for institutions of
learning that have not addressed Native populations effectively in the past.
Dorothy AguileraBlack Bear is the Vice President of Research and Sponsored
Programs for the American Indian College Fund. John W. Tippeconnic III, Professor
and Director of American Indian Studies at Arizona State University, is the co-editor
of Next Steps: Research and Practice to Advance Indian Education.

A Call for Reform


The Southern California Indian Writings of Helen Hunt Jackson
Edited by Valerie Sherer Mathes and Phil Brigandi
Journalist, novelist, and scholar Helen Hunt Jackson (183085) remains one of
the most influential and popular writers on the struggles of American Indians. This
volume collects for the first time seven of her most important articles, annotated
and introduced by Jackson scholars Valerie Sherer Mathes and Phil Brigandi.
Valuable as eyewitness accounts of Mission Indian life in Southern California in the
1880s, the articles also offer insight into Jacksons career.

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
Helen Hunt Jackson. Phil Brigandi is an independent scholar who specializes in

Malinche, Pocahontas, and Sacagawea


Indian Women as Cultural Intermediaries and National Symbols
By Rebecca Kay Jager
The first Europeans to arrive in North Americas various regions relied on Native
women to help them navigate unfamiliar customs and places. This study of three
well-known and legendary female cultural intermediaries, Malinche, Pocahontas,
and Sacagawea, examines their initial contact with Euro-Americans, their
negotiation of multinational frontiers, and their symbolic representation over time.
Well before their first contact with Europeans or Anglo-Americans, the three
womens societies of originthe Aztecs of Central Mexico (Malinche), the
Powhatans of the mid-Atlantic coast (Pocahontas), and the Shoshones of the
northern Rocky Mountains (Sacagawea)were already dealing with complex
ethnic tensions and social change. Using wit and diplomacy learned in their Native
cultures and often assigned to women, all three individuals hoped to benefit their
own communities by engaging with the new arrivals. But as historian Rebecca
Kay Jager points out, Europeans and white Americans misunderstood female
expertise in diplomacy and interpreted indigenous womens cooperation as proof
of their attraction to Euro-American men and culture. This confusion has created a
historical misrepresentation of Malinche, Pocahontas, and Sacagawea as gracious
Indian princesses, giving far too little credit to their skills as intermediaries.
Examining their initial contact with Europeans and their work on multinational
frontiers, Jager removes these three famous icons from the realm of mythology
and cultural fantasy and situates each womans behavior in her own cultural
context. Drawing on history, anthropology, ethnohistory, and oral tradition, Jager
demonstrates their shrewd use of diplomacy and fulfillment of social roles and
responsibilities in pursuit of their communities future advantage.
Jager then goes on to delineate the symbolic roles that Malinche, Pocahontas, and
Sacagawea came to play in national creation stories. Mexico and the United States
have molded their legends to justify European colonization and condemn it, to
explain Indian defeat and celebrate indigenous prehistory. After hundreds of years,
Malinche, Pocahontas and Sacagawea are still relevant. They are the symbolic
mothers of the Americas, but more than that, they fulfilled crucial roles in times of
pivotal and enduring historical change. Understanding their stories brings us closer
to understanding our own histories.
Rebecca Kay Jager is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Idaho,
Moscow.

Hugh Lenox Scott, who would one day serve as chief of staff of the U.S. Army,
spent a portion of his early career at Fort Sill, in Indian and, later, Oklahoma
Territory. There, from 1891 to 1897, he commanded Troop L, 7th Cavalry, an
all-Indian unit. From members of this unit, in particular a Kiowa soldier named
Iseeo, Scott collected three volumes of information on American Indian life and
culturea body of ethnographic material conveyed through Plains Indian Sign
Language (in which Scott was highly accomplished) and recorded in handwritten
English. This remarkable resourcethe largest of its kind before the late twentieth
centuryappears here in full for the first time, put into context by noted scholar
William C. Meadows.

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
incisive analysis, and the complete contents of Scotts Fort Sill ledgers, this valuable
instrument is finally and fully accessible to scholars and general readers interested
in the history and culture of Plains Indians.

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.

Reclaiming the Hopewellian


Ceremonial Sphere
200 b.c. to a.d. 500
By A. Martin Byers
Multiple Hopewellian monumental earthwork sites displaying timber features,
mortuary deposits, and unique artifacts are found widely distributed across the
North American Eastern Woodlands, from the lower Mississippi Valley north to
the Great Lakes. These sites, dating from 200 b.c. to a.d. 500, almost define the
Middle Woodland period of the Eastern Woodlands. Joseph Caldwell treated these
sites as defining what he termed the Hopewell Interaction Sphere, which he
conceptualized as mediating a set of interacting mortuary-funerary cults linking
many different local ethnic communities. In this new book, A. Martin Byers refines
Caldwells work, coining the term Hopewell Ceremonial Sphere to more precisely
characterize this transregional sphere as manifesting multiple autonomous cult
sodalities of local communities affiliated into escalating levels of autonomous
cult sodality heterarchies. It is these cult sodality heterarchies, regionally and
transregionally interactingand not their autonomous communities to which the
sodalities also belongedthat were responsible for the Hopewellian assemblage;
and the heterarchies took themselves to be performing, not funerary, but worldrenewal ritual ceremonialism mediated by the deceased of their many autonomous
Middle Woodland communities.
Paired with the cult sodality heterarchy model, Byers proposes and develops the
complementary heterarchical community model. This model postulates a type
of community that made the formation of the cult sodality heterarchy possible.
But Byers insists it was the sodality heterarchies and not the complementary
heterarchical communities that generated the Hopewellian ceremonial sphere.
Detailed interpretations and explanations of Hopewellian sites and their contents in
Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, and Georgia empirically anchor his claims.
A singular work of unprecedented scope, Reclaiming the Hopewellian Ceremonial
Sphere will encourage archaeologists to re-examine their interpretations.
A. Martin Byers, former research associate in the Department of Anthropology
at McGill University in Montreal, is the author of numerous articles and books,
including Sacred Games, Death, and Renewal in the Ancient Eastern Woodlands:
The Ohio Hopewell System of Cult Sodality Heterarchies and Cahokia: A World
Renewal Cult Heterarchy.

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.

presidio soldiers who accompanied Jesuit missionaries, followed by miners and

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

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.

Restoring the Shining Waters


Superfund Success at Milltown, Montana
By David Brooks
No sooner had the EPA established the Superfund program in 1980 to clean up
the nations toxic waste dumps and other abandoned hazardous waste sites, than
a little Montana town found itself topping the new programs National Priority
List. Milltown, a place too small to warrant a listing in the U.S. Census, sat
alongside a modest hydroelectric dam at the confluence of the Clark Fork and
Blackfoot Rivers. For three-quarters of a century, arsenic-laced waste from some
of the worlds largest copper-mining operations had accumulated behind the dam.
Soon, Milltown became the site of Superfunds first dam removal and watershed
restoration, marking a turning point in U.S. environmental history. The story of
this dramatic shift is the tale of individuals rallying to reclaim a place they valued
beyond its utility.

In Restoring the Shining Waters, David Brooks gives an intimate account of how
local citizenshomeowners, university scientists, county health officials, grassroots
environmentalists, business leaders, and thousands of engaged residentsbrought
about the removal of Milltown Dam. Interviews with townspeople, outside
environmentalists, mining executives, and federal officials reveal how the everyday
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
communities.
With curiosity, conviction, and a strong sense of place, the small town of Milltown
helped restore an iconic western river valleyand in doing so, shaped the history of
Superfund and modern environmentalism.
David Brooks is lead historian and Vice President of the Heritage Research Center
in Missoula, Montana. He teaches history of the American West at the University of
Montana.

The Size of the Risk


Histories of Multiple Use in the Great Basin
By Leisl Carr Childers
The Great Basin, a stark and beautiful desert filled with sagebrush seas and
mountain ranges, is ground zero for public lands conflicts. Arising out of the
multiple, often incompatible uses created throughout the twentieth century, these
struggles reveal the tension inherent within the multiple use concept, a management
philosophy that promises equitable access to the regions resources and economic
gain to those who live there.
Multiple use was originally conceived as a way to legitimize the historical use of
public lands for grazing without precluding future uses, such as outdoor recreation,
weapons development, and wildlife management. It was applied to the Great Basin
to bring the region, once seen as worthless, into the national economic fold. Land
managers, ranchers, mining interests, wilderness and wildlife advocates, outdoor
recreationists, and even the military adopted this ideology to accommodate,
promote, and sanction a multitude of activities on public lands, particularly those
overseen by the Bureau of Land Management. Some of these uses are locally driven
and others are nationally mandated, but all have exacted a cost from the regions
human and natural environment.
In The Size of the Risk, Leisl Carr Childers shows how different constituencies
worked to fill the presumed empty space of the Great Basin with a variety
of land-use regimes that overlapped, conflicted, and ultimately harmed the
environment and the people who depended on the region for their livelihoods. She
looks at the conflicts that arose from the intersection of an ever-increasing number
of activities, such as nuclear testing and wild horse preservation, and how Great
Basin residents have navigated these conflicts.
Carr Childerss study of multiple use in the Great Basin highlights the complex
interplay between the state, society, and the environment, allowing us to better
understand the ongoing reality of living in the American West.
Leisl Carr Childers is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Northern
Iowa. Her articles have appeared in journals such as Western Historical Quarterly,
Environmental History, and Nevada Historical Society Quarterly.

Hubbell Trading Post


Trade, Tourism, and the Navajo Southwest
By Erica Cottam
For more than a century, trading posts in the American Southwest tied the U.S.
economy and culture to those of American Indian peoplesand in this capacity,
Hubbell Trading Post, founded in 1878 in Ganado, Arizona, had no parallel. This
book tells the story of the Hubbell family, its Navajo neighbors and clients, and what
the changing relationship between them reveals about the history of Navajo trading.

Drawing on extensive archival material and secondary literature, historian Erica


Cottam begins with an account of John Lorenzo Hubbell, who was part Hispanic,
part Anglo, and wholly brilliant and charismatic. She examines his trading practices
and the strategies he used to meet the challenges of Navajo exchange customs and
a seasonal trading cycle. Tracing the trading posts affairs through the upheavals of
the twentieth century, Cottam explores the growth of tourism, the development of
Navajo weaving, the automobiles advent, and the Hubbells relationship with the
Fred Harvey Company. She also describes the Hubbell familys role in providing
Navajo and Hopi demonstrators for worlds fairs and other events and in supplying
museums with Native artifacts.
Acknowledging the criticism aimed at the Hubbell family for taking advantage
of Navajo clients, Cottam shows the familys strengths: their integrity as business
operators and the warm friendships they developed with customers and with
the artists, writers, archaeologists, politicians, and tourists attracted to Navajo
country by its unparalleled landscapes and fascinating peoples. Cottam traces the
preservation efforts of Hubbells daughter-in-law after the Great Depression and
World War II fundamentally altered the trading post business, and concludes with
the posts transition to its present status as a National Park Service historic site.
Erica Cottam holds a Ph.D. in history from Arizona State University.

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
Center for the American West at the University of New Mexico. Former editor
of the New Mexico Historical Review, he is the author or editor of more than 50
books, including Beyond the Missouri: The Story of the American West, Telling
Western Stories: From Buffalo Bill to Larry McMurtry, and The Life and Legends

An alternative view of what happened to the

Still in the Saddle


The Hollywood Western, 19691980
By Andrew Patrick Nelson
By the end of the 1960s, the Hollywood West of Tom Mix, Randolph Scott, and
even John Wayne was passor so the story goes. Many film historians and critics
have argued that movies portraying a mythic American West gave way to revisionist
films that influential filmmakers such as Sam Peckinpah and Robert Altman made
as violent critiques of the Westerns golden years.
Yet rumors surrounding the death of the Western have been greatly exaggerated,
says film historian Andrew Patrick Nelson. Even as the Wild Bunch and John
McCabe rode forth, John Wayne remained the Westerns number one box office
draw. How, then, could there have been a revisionist reckoning at a time when the
Duke was still in the saddle?

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.
Andrew Patrick Nelson, Assistant Professor of Film History and Critical Studies in
the School of Film and Photography at Montana State University, Bozeman, is the

As Far as the Eye Could Reach


Accounts of Animals along the Santa Fe Trail, 18211880
By Phyllis S. Morgan
Foreword by Marc Simmons
Illustrated by Ronald Kil
Travelers and traders taking the Santa Fe Trails routes from Missouri to New
Mexico wrote vivid eyewitness accounts of the diverse and abundant wildlife
encountered as they crossed arid plains, high desert, and rugged mountains. Most
astonishing to these observers were the incredible numbers of animals, many they
had not seen beforebuffalo, antelope (pronghorn), prairie dogs, roadrunners,
mustangs, grizzlies, and others. They also wrote about the domesticated animals
they brought with them, including oxen, mules, horses, and dogs. Their letters,
diaries, and memoirs open a window onto an animal world on the plains seen by
few people other than the Plains Indians who had lived there for thousands of years.
Phyllis S. Morgan has gleaned accounts from numerous primary sources and
assembled them into a delightfully informative narrative. She has also explored
the lives of the various species, and in this book tells about their behaviors and
characteristics, the social relations within and between species, their relationships
with humans, and their contributions to the environment and humankind.
With skillful prose and a keen eye for a priceless tale, Morgan reanimates the
story of life on the Santa Fe Trails well-worn routes, and its sometimes violent
intersection with human life. She provides a stirring view of the land and of
the animals visible as far as the eye could reach, as more than one memoirist
described. She also champions the many contributions animals made to the Trails
success and to the opening of the American West.
Following a professional career in education, information resources, and research,
Phyllis S. Morgan has focused on writing nonfiction works about the Santa Fe
Trail and the Southwest. Her award-winning bio-bibliographies on acclaimed New
Mexican writers include N. Scott Momaday: Remembering Ancestors, Earth, and
Traditions. She has served as the New Mexico Director on the board of the Santa Fe
Trail Association. Marc Simmons is the award-winning author of hundreds of articles
and more than two dozen books on the American Southwest, including The Last
Conquistador: Juan de Oate and the Settling of the Far Southwest. Ronald Kil is an
artist of the historical West who lives and works near Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Building on previous comparisons of archaeological evidence and medical records,


Willey and Scott follow multiple lines of inquiry to assess the health of the Seventh,
from its organization in 1866 to its 1884 station on the Northern Great Plains.
Pairing general overviews of nineteenth- and twentieth-century health care with
essays on malaria, injuries, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other specific
ailments, Health of the Seventh Cavalry provides fresh insights into the health,
disease, and trauma that the regiment experienced over two decades. More than
100 tables, graphs, and maps track the troops illnesses and diseases by month,
season, year, and location, as well as their stress periods, desertions, and deaths. A
glossary of medical terms rounds out the volume.
As an ideal exemplar of regiments of its time, the Seventh Cavalry affords scholars
and enthusiasts a better understanding of nineteenth-century health and medicine.
This volume reveals the struggles that the postCivil War Seventh, and the entire
U.S. Army, faced on the battlefield and elsewhere.

European Armies of the French


Revolution, 17891802
Edited by Frederick C. Schneid
Upon Frances defeat of the vaunted Prussian army at the Battle of Valmy in 1792,
German author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe remarked, From this place and from
this day forth commences a new era in the worlds history. The pronouncement
proved prescient, for this first major victory emboldened Frances revolutionary
government to end the monarchy and establish the first French Republicwith
dramatic consequences for the wars that soon roiled the continent.
In nine essays by leading scholars, European Armies of the French Revolution,
17891802 provides an authoritative, continent-wide analysis of the organization
and constitution of these armies, the challenges they faced, and the impact they had
on the French Revolutionary Wars and on European military practices. The volume
opens with editor Frederick C. Schneids substantial introduction, which reviews the
strategies and policies of each participating state throughout the wars, establishing a
clear context for the essays that follow.
Drawing on the latest research and thought, each contributor focuses on the army
of a particular power: France, Prussia, Austria, Russia, Britain, Spain, the German
principalities, the Italian states, and the Ottoman Empire. Their essays examine the
system, tactics, operations, and strategies that each army adopted and developed in
the Revolutionary Wars. The authors explore the conflicts wider influence on these
policies and practices, along with significant battles and actions.

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.
Mary Ann Villarreal is Director of Strategic Initiatives and University Projects at
California State UniversityFullerton. Her articles on oral history and the formation
of Texas Mexican identity have been published in Oral History Review and the

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.
Published through the Recovering Languages and
Literacies of the Americas initiative, supported

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.

A Way Across the Mountain


Joseph Walkers 1833 Trans-Sierran Passage
and the Myth of Yosemites Discovery
By Scott Stine
From July to November 1833, Joseph R. Walker led a brigade of fifty-eight
fur trappers, with two hundred horses and a years provisions, from the Rocky
Mountains of Wyoming to the Pacific coast of central California. Toward the
end of their journey the Walker brigade crossed the Sierra Nevada, becoming the
first non-Native people to traverse the range from east to west. That crossing,
made long and brutal by bewildering terrain and deep snow, is widely and rightly
considered a milestone in the exploration of intermontane North America.
Following Walkers death in 1876, an alluring tale arose concerning his transSierran route. In the course of the crossing, goes the story, Walker found himself on
the northern rim of Yosemite Valley at the plungepoint of North Americas tallest
waterfall, staring into the most awesome mountain chasm on the continent. Over
the decades since then, this time-honored tale has hardened to folklore. Dozens of
historical works have construed it as a towering moment in the opening of the West.
But in fact this tale of Yosemites discovery has no basis or support in firsthand
accounts of the 1833 Sierran crossing. Moreover, there is much in those accounts
that contradicts Yosemite lore, and much that points to a trans-Sierran route well
north of Yosemite Valley.
In A Way Across the Mountain, Scott Stine reconstructs Walkers 1833 route over
the Sierra. Stine draws on his own intimate knowledge of the geomorphology,
hydrography, biogeography, and climate of the Sierra Nevada and Great Basin,
and employs the detailed travel narrative of the Walker brigades field clerk, Zenas
Leonard. Stine documents the inception, growth, and persistence of the Yosemite
Myth and explores the extent to which that lore has overshadowed Walkers
greatest discoverythat the huge swath of continent between the Wasatch Front
and the Sierran crest is hydrographically closed, draining not to an ocean, but to
salty lakes and desert sands.
Scott Stine is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Anthropology, Geography,
and Environmental Studies at California State University, East Bay. He resides in
Point Reyes Station, California.

PREZELSKI CALIFORNIO LANCERS

How California vaqueros became Union soldiers in the Civil War

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.

Over the Santa Fe Trail to Mexico


The Travel Diaries and Autobiography of Dr. Rowland Willard
Edited by Joy L. Poole
One of the first Anglo-Americans to record their travels to New Mexico, Dr.
Rowland Willard (17941884) journeyed west on the Santa Fe Trail in 1825 and
then down the Camino Real into Mexico, taking notes along the way. This edition
of the young physicians travel diaries and subsequent autobiography, annotated by
New Mexico Deputy State Librarian Joy L. Poole, is a rich historical source on the
two trails and the practice of medicine in the 1820s.
Few Americans knew much about New Mexico when Willard set out on his
journey from St. Charles, Missouri, where he had recently completed a medical
apprenticeship. The growing commerce with the Southwest presented opportunities
for the ambitious doctor. He visited Santa Fe, practiced medicine in Taos, then
traveled south to Chihuahua, arriving during a measles epidemic. Willard treated
patients in Mexico for two years before returning to Missouri in 1828.
Willards narrative challenges long-accepted assumptions about the exact routes
taken by pack trains on the Santa Fe Trail. It also provides thrilling glimpses of a
landscape densely populated with wildlife. The doctor describes a great theater of
nature, with droves of elk and buffalo, and wolf and antelope skipping in every
direction. With his traveling companions he hunted buffalo by crawling after them
on all fours, afterward making jerky out of bison meat and boats out of their hides.
Willard also details his medical practice, offering a revealing view of physicians
operating practices in a time when sanitation and anesthesia were rare.
The Santa Fe Trail and Camino Real took Willard on the journey of a lifetime. This
account recalls the early days of the Santa Fe Trail trade and westward American
migration, when a doctor from Missouri could cross paths with mountain men,
traders, Mexican clergymen, and government officials on their way to new
opportunities.
Joy L. Poole cofounded the Santa Fe Trail Association and served as Director of El
Camino Real International Heritage Center. She is coauthor of Great Plains Cattle
Empire: Thatcher Brothers and Associates, 18751945.

With the assistance of Will Bagley and Richard Rieck
During the early weeks of 1848, as U.S. congressmen debated the territorial status
of California, a Swiss immigrant and an itinerant millwright forever altered the
future states fate. Building a sawmill for Johann August Sutter, James Wilson
Marshall struck gold. The rest may be history, but much of the story of what
happened in the following year is told not in history books but in the letters, diaries,
journals, and other written recollections of those whom the California gold rush
drew west. In this second installment in the projected four-part collection The Great
Medicine Road: Narratives of the Oregon, California, and Mormon Trails, the
hardy souls who made the arduous trip tell their stories in their own words.

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.

Ethnic Cleansing and the Indian


The Crime That Should Haunt America
By Gary Clayton Anderson
Anderson has uttered the words that most American historians have, for a variety
of reasons, been unwilling to use. In evaluating American Indian policy as an early
example of ethnic cleansing, he has launched an important debate.
Richard White, author of The Middle Ground: Indians, Empires, and Republics
in the Great Lakes Region, 16501815
Mention ethnic cleansing and most Americans are likely to think of some faroff locale plagued by corrupt government. According to historian Gary Clayton
Anderson, the United States has its own legacy of ethnic cleansingand it involves
American Indians.
Anderson argues that the inevitable goal of colonialism and U.S. Indian policy was
not to exterminate a population, but to obtain land and resources from Native
peoples. Clashes between Indians, settlers, and colonial and U.S. governments, and
the dispossession and forcible migration of Natives, fit the modern definition of
ethnic cleansing.
Drawing on a lifetime of research on U.S.-Indian relations, Anderson analyzes the
Jacksonian Removal policy, the California gold rush, the dispossession of Oregon
Natives, boarding schools and other benevolent forms of ethnic cleansing, and
land allotment. Although not amounting to genocide, ethnic cleansing would be
deemed criminal today, and it had long-lasting consequences for Native peoples.
Gary Clayton Anderson, George Lynn Cross Professor of History at the University
of Oklahoma, is the author of The Conquest of Texas: Ethnic Cleansing in the
Promised Land, 18201875 and The Indian Southwest, 15801830: Ethnogenesis

JACKSON THE INDIAN REFORM LETTERS OF HELEN HUNT JACKSON, 18791885

BAUDEZ MAYA SCULPTURE OF COPN

A masterful survey of elaborate


and intriguing carved images

Copn, one of the most important Classic Maya sites, is


renowned for the artistry of its high-relief stelae and altars and
for the wealth of detail on its freestanding and architectural
sculpture. In Maya Sculpture of Copn: The Iconography,
internationally known Mayanist Claude-Franois Baudez
provides a masterful survey of these elaborate and intriguing
carved images.
In Part I, Baudez identifies and deciphers the specific motifs
on each monument and shows how the elements were
combined to produce meaningful iconographic messages. The
architectural sculpture expresses the meaning and function of
the buildings and complexes, many designed to represent the
sky, earth, and underworld and to serve as stages for rituals.
Photographs and drawings clarify the intricate forms.
Part II relates the iconography to the religion and politics of
the city-state. Baudez traces the evolution of the motifs in
relation to the history of Copn and the multiple functions
of the kinghis cosmic role, the continuous reference to his
ancestors, and the dynastic cycles.
Sacrificebloodletting by the king and the sacrifice of
captivesis of paramount importance. Growth and rebirth
required constant offerings of blood to the earth and to the
sun, to ensure its rebirth at dawn after its nocturnal journey
through the underworld. The monuments give a coherent
picture of Maya cosmology.
Claude-Franois Baudez was Director of Research at the
Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Paris and
director of the Proyecto Arqueolgico Copn.

Restoring the reputation

H WINNER 2010 INTERNATIONAL NAPOLEONIC SOCIETY LITERARY AWARD

The British troops who fought so successfully under the


Duke of Wellington during his Peninsular Campaign against
Napoleon have long been branded by the dukes own words
scum of the earthand assumed to have been criminals who
enlisted to escape justice. Edward J. Coss shows that most of
these redcoats were respectable laborers and tradesmen and
that it was mainly their working-class status that prompted
the dukes derision. Driven into the army by unemployment
in the wake of Britains industrial revolution, they confronted
wartime hardship with ethical values and became formidable
soldiers in the bargain.
These men depended on the kings shilling for survival, yet pay
was erratic and provisions were scantthey often marched for
days without adequate food. Coss draws on comprehensive
data on British soldiers and first-person accounts of Peninsular
War participants to reveal a fuller understanding of their
backgrounds and daily lives.
Examining the social composition of Wellingtons rank and
file through the lens of military psychology, All for the Kings
Shilling transcends the Napoleonic battlefield to help explain the
motivation and behavior of all soldiers under the stress of combat.

Shows how Allied operations


against the Ottomans were
doomed to fail in 1915

A painstaking effort to set the World War I historical record


straight, Climax at Gallipoli examines the performance of the
Allies Mediterranean Expeditionary Force (MEF) from the
beginning of the Gallipoli Campaign to the bitter end. Crawley
reminds us that in 1915, the second year of the war, the Allies
were still trying to adapt to a new form of warfare, with static
defense replacing the maneuver and offensive strategies of earlier
British doctrine. In the attempt both the MEF at Gallipoli and
the British Expeditionary Force on the Western Front aimed for
too muchand both failed. To explain why, Crawley focuses
on the operational level of war in the campaign, scrutinizing
planning, command, mobility, fire support, interservice
cooperation, and logistics. His work draws on unprecedented
research into the files of military organizations across the United
Kingdom and Australia.
The result is a view of the Gallipoli Campaign unique in its
detail and scope, as well as in its conclusionsa book that looks
past myth and distortion to the facts, and the truth, of what
happened at this critical juncture in twentieth-century history.
Rhys Crawley is a historian with the Strategic and Defence
Studies Centre at the Australian National University. He received

VOLUME 44 IN THE CAMPAIGNS AND COMMANDERS SERIES

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.

ECELBARGER THREE DAYS IN THE SHENANDOAH

In the center of Mantua, Italy, vendors sell fish from pushcarts


as locals did more than two hundred years ago when Napoleon
Bonaparte laid siege to the city. Held by Austrian troops, it
finally fell under French control. Two years later, Mantua was
barraged by an Austrian and Russian army, which took it
back. In Napoleon in Italy, Phillip R. Cuccia draws on military
records in Austrian, French, and Italian archives to illuminate
two understudied aspects of the conflict in Mantua: siege
warfare and the suffering it created inside the city.

A firsthand account of
Gen. George Crooks
expedition against the
Sioux and Cheyennes

Lt. Col. Richard Irving Dodges journals, written with utter


candor for his eyes only, are the fullest firsthand account we
possess of Gen. George Crooks Powder River Expedition
against the Sioux and Cheyenne Indians, which culminated
in Col. Ranald S. Mackenzies resounding destruction of Dull
Knifes forces on November 25, 1876. With his customary
flair, editor Wayne R. Kime has transcribed the journals from
Dodges pocket-size notebooks and has provided a pertinent
introduction and well-crafted, thoroughly illuminating
annotations.
Dodges journals will clearly prove useful to specialists in U.S.Indian relations and the Great Sioux War, but they will also
appeal to a variety of readers because of Dodges lively style
and his range of subject matter. With vigorous intelligence, he
describes such topics as General Crook as a military leader
and strategist, the merits of infantry versus cavalry against the
Plains Indians, the effects of subzero weather in Wyoming on
a large army far from its sources of supply, and of course, the
elusiveness of military glory.
Wayne R. Kime is retired as Professor of English at Fairmont
State College in Fairmont, West Virginia. Among his numerous
works, he has edited a critical edition of Dodges Plains of
North America and Their Inhabitants as well as four volumes
of his journals.

MILITARY HISTORY/U.S. HISTORY

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.

At daybreak on November 29, 1864, the Colorado Volunteers


attacked Black Kettles sleeping camp. Upon learning of
the disasternow known as the Sand Creek Massacre
Wynkoop spoke out vehemently against the action. Kraft
reveals Wynkoops daring in standing up to Anglo-Americans
and attempting to end the 1864 Indian war. Though many
contemporaries damned his views, Wynkoop devoted his career
as a soldier and then U.S. Indian agent to helping Cheyennes
and Arapahos survive.
When Wynkoop tried to prevent General Winfield Scott
Hancock from destroying a Cheyenne-Sioux village in 1867,
the general started a war. Fearing more innocents would die,
Wynkoop resigned from the Indian Bureau. Ned Wynkoop
was a man of conscience who dared to walk between Indians
and Anglo-Americans but was powerless to prevent the tragic
consequences of their conflict.
Writer, historian, and lecturer Louis Kraft is the author
of several books, including Custer and the Cheyenne and
Gatewood & Geronimo.

SWEENEY COCHISE

RECORD BIG SYCAMORE STANDS ALONE

A trailblazing synthesis of
oral and written histories

Western Apaches have long regarded the corner of Arizona


encompassing Aravaipa Canyon as their sacred homeland. Big
Sycamore Stands Alone examines the evolving relationship
between this people and this place, illustrating the enduring power
of Aravaipa to shape and sustain contemporary Apache society.
This book articulates Aravaipas cultural legacy as seen through
the eyes of some of its descendants, bringing Apache voices,
knowledge, and perspectives to the fore. Focusing on the Camp
Grant Massacre as a narrative centerpiece, Ian Record reflects
on how the Apaches conceptualize their history and identity,
interweaving four distinct narrative threads: contemporary
oral histories of individuals from the San Carlos reservation,
historic documentation of Apache relationships to Aravaipa
following the establishment of the reservation, descriptions
of pre-reservation subsistence practices, and a history of early
Apache struggles to maintain their connection with Aravaipa in
the face of hostility from outsiders.
A landmark ethnohistory, Big Sycamore Stands Alone presents
a story that goes far beyond Cochise, Geronimo, and the
Chiricahuas. It is a trailblazing synthesis of historical and
anthropological materials that lends new insight into the
relationship between people and place.

In the chiefs words, Sweeney captures the essence of Cochise


and his times.Robert M. Utley, author of Geronimo
A Chiricahua Apache of the Chokonen band, Cochise (c. 1810
1874) was one of the most celebrated Indian leaders of his time,
battling both American and Mexican troops in the turbulent
border region of nineteenth-century Arizona.
Much of what we know of Cochise has come down to us in
military reports, eyewitness accounts, letters, and interviews the
chief granted in the last decade of his life. Edwin R. Sweeney
brings the most revealing of these documents together to provide
the most multifaceted portrait possible of the Apache leader. The
interviewsmany printed here for the first timeare the closest
we will ever get to autobiographical material on the man, his
life, and his times.
Assembled from U.S. military records, Indian agency reports,
U.S. and Mexican newspapers and journals, and transcribed
personal recollections, we hear the voices of those who knew
Cochise well or observed him firsthand. A close-up look at a
pivotal figure in western history, Cochise offers a rare account of
a vanished world from people who lived in that enduring time
and place.
Retired as a professional accountant, Edwin R. Sweeney is an
independent scholar and an award-winning historian of the
Apaches. He is the author of Cochise: Chiricahua Apache Chief

dispute between Oklahoma and Texas was key to the U.S.

SWITZER THE STEAMBOAT BERTRAND AND MISSOURI RIVER COMMERCE

Whereas the Red River was a source of water to the


Spaniards as they searched for gold, at Natchitoches, French
trader Louis Juchereau de St. Denis traded with the Caddo
Indians. Conflicts soon developed between French traders
and Spaniards in Texas as they competed for land along the
Red. Years later, the Red River featured again as part of the
settlement in the 1819 Adams-Ons Treaty, negotiated by
Spanish minister Luis de Ons y Gonzales and U.S. secretary
of state John Quincy Adams, which finally brought to an end
the western boundary disputes between Spain and the United
States lingering since the 1803 Louisiana Purchase.

On April 1, 1865, the steamboat Bertrand, a sternwheeler


bound from St. Louis to Fort Benton in Montana Territory,
hit a snag in the Missouri River and sank twenty miles north
of Omaha. For more than a century thereafter, the Bertrand
remained buried until it was discovered by treasure hunters,
its cargo largely intact. This book categorizes some 300,000
artifacts recovered from the Bertrand in 1968, and also
describes the invention, manufacture, marketing, distribution,
and sale of these products, tracing their route to the frontier
mining camps of Montana Territory.

relations with the whites

More than a century has passed since that winter morning in


1890 when the Indian police killed Sitting Bull and destroyed
the power of his great Sioux Nation. Yet only recently were
the facts about Sitting Bull and the Sioux being sifted from the
fables that have grown up in the interim.

An important book. . . . One of the very best studies of an


Indian trader. . . . Any person with an interest in Hopi and
Navajo history will want to read Thomas Varker Keam: Indian
Trader.Peter Iverson, coauthor of Din: A History of the
Navajos

In New Sources of Indian History, Stanley Vestal traced scores


of historical threads, obtained firsthand, which helped reveal
the fabric of Sioux life, warfare, and relations with the whites
from 1850 to 1891. This miscellany brings together the many
phases of existence the Sioux knew when buffalo still roamed
the shores of the Missouri, cultural aspects they lost when
Indian agencies and military posts replaced the council fire.

Thomas Varker Keam owned and operated a trading post in


Keams Canyon, Arizona Territory, from 1874 to 1902. He was
the first trader to develop American Indian arts and crafts as part
of his business and the first to suggest that Native artists modify
their techniques to increase sales. Keam had a major impact on
the evolution of Hopi pottery.

More than a series of episodes hung on the thread of time,


this book portrays a many-colored pattern of American Indian
personalitiesfrom Sitting Bull, the leader of a mighty warrior
society, to Black Bull, the Indian trickster, who would have
sold Sioux lands to whites by the pound. For readers of Vestals
Sitting Bull (1932) this volume presents proof of the facts set
forth in that remarkable biography.
Stanley Vestal is the pen name of Walter S. Campbell, who
up grew up in Southern Cheyenne country. A graduate of
Oxford University and longtime Professor of English at the

on American Indians and the West, including Sitting Bull,

An advocate for the Indians, Keam represented the Hopis

The territory became the home of the Five Civilized Tribes


Cherokee, Chickasaw, Creek, Choctaw, and Seminolein the
years following the Indian Removal Act of 1830. Through
treaties and Indian removals later in the century, lands were
reserved to Plains Indian tribesthe Kiowa, Comanche, and
Apache in the southwest; Cheyenne and Arapahoe in the west;
Iowa, Kickapoo, Potawatomi, and Shawnee in the central
portion; Osage and other tribes in the north and east.
The Panhandle was public land and the central region was
the Oklahoma District, not open to settlement by whites or
possessed by any Indian tribe. In 1889, the Oklahoma District
was thrown open to settlement, and the land run allowed
thousands of home seekers to settle a portion of the vast
territory. It set the stage for subsequent openings, for a territorial
government, and finally for Oklahoma statehood in 1907.

GITTINGER THE FORMATION OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA

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.

Oklahoma, the forty-sixth state admitted to the Union, has a


history much more interesting and extensive than its relatively
recent statehood indicates. Roy Gittingers classic study begins
in 1803, the year of the Louisiana Purchase, which brought the
region into the United States, and closes in 1906, when Indian
Territory was poised to become the state of Oklahoma.

GOBLE PROGRESSIVE OKLAHOMA

Progressive Oklahoma traces Oklahomas rapid evolution


from pioneer territory to statehood under a model Progressive
constitution. Author Danney Goble reasons that the
Progressive movement grew as a reaction to an exaggerated
species of Gilded Age social valuesthe notion that an
expanding marketplace and unfettered individualism would
properly regulate progress.

Repeated clashes between American fur traders and the Plains


Indians following the War of 1812 lent urgency to demands
that the United States government protect its territory in
the West. To remedy the situation, Secretary of War John
C. Calhoun planned a military occupation of the upper
Mississippi and Missouri River valleys through a cordon of
army posts stretching from Green Bay on the Great Lakes west
to Montana. Calhoun projected a troop movement, called
the Yellowstone Expedition, that grew from one expedition
to threethe Missouri, the Mississippi, and the Scientific
Expeditions. The Missouri Expedition, described in this
volume, was the first venture to implement Calhouns plan.
During the summer of 1818 the expedition, under the
command of Colonel Thomas A. Smith, traveled up the
Missouri River in keelboats to Cow Island, near present-day
Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where a winter camp was built.
Defiant bands of American Indians robbed the soldiers of
horses, guns, boats, and food, also attacking white traders
and messengers along the river. In February 1819, Calhoun
appointed Colonel Henry Atkinson, the most experienced
officer of the Rifle Regiment, to the command. By summer the
troops continued upriver to Council Bluffs, where they built
Cantonment Missouri.

U.S. HISTORY

In pre-Columbian times Santa Cruz Island was a source of


wealth to the indigenous peoplesthe place where they made
their shell bead money. During the Spanish-Mexican period it
was a smugglers haven, where fur hunters avoided customs
officials. As a land grant, it was eventually purchased by
Justinian Caire, and the island flourished. It was a secluded
paradise off the Santa Barbara Coast, with extensive sheep and
cattle holdings and an esteemed winery.
When Justinian Caires will divided the island between
family members, the National Park Service and The Nature
Conservancy were also involved. Santa Cruz Island describes
ranching, hunting and recreation, and environmental challenges
on the island and explores the establishment of Channel Islands
National Park.
John Gherini, a practicing attorney in Santa Barbara,
California, is a direct descendant of Justinian Caire with access
to personal and legal papers concerning Santa Cruz Island.

U.S. HISTORY

GHERINI SANTA CRUZ ISLAND

Pioneer settlers grappled with summer droughts and winter


blizzards, often fighting for their lives against Comanche Indians
or wild animals. Unknown diseases killed the livestock. Prairie
fires destroyed fields and pastures, and clouds of grasshoppers
devoured crops. To beat these odds, early settlers had to be as
tough as the rawhide they braided into quirts or lariatsfor only
the strong survived.

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
beauty and size, it attracted people from the coastline.

GARD RAWHIDE TEXAS

What makes a Texan tick? The answer can be found not in


military and political histories, but in the social history of the
people of Texasthe story of their long, heroic battle to conquer
challenging conditions as Americas frontier pushed westward.

GUIDE TO MAMMALS OF SALTA PROVINCE, ARGENTINA

THE ALASKA HIGHWAY IN WORLD WAR II

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.

BIOGRAPHY

After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor,


a fear of invasion swept North America
particularly the West Coast. Immediate
steps needed to be taken to defend the
Far Northwest. With Canadas approval,
Washington drew up plans for an Alaska
Highway to connect Edmonton, Alberta,
with Fairbanks, Alaska, and a pipeline
to connect oil fields in the Northwest
Territories with the Pacific Coast.
This lively history of an American civil
and military engineering milestone draws
on interviews with veterans and local
residents and research in Canadian and
U.S. archives.

ALLBRIGHT, BERLO, WHITE A WORLD UNCONQUERED

Offers the first critical analysis of Jacobsons


work as both an artist and a cultural figure

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.

Macrocosm/Microcosm: Abstract Expressionism in


the American Southwest traces the spread of Abstract
Expressionism from the East and West Coasts. The vacant yet
astounding immensity of the Southwest prompted many to
pause in contemplation of both the limitless cosmos above and
the nuanced variations of the natural world below. As if the
spaces of the Southwest were not vast enough, scientific and
technological advances in the postwar era changed perceptions
regarding the extent of the universe. The establishment of the
Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico and the
NASA space launches, organized and controlled in Houston,
linked the Southwest to the expansion of human knowledge
into microcosmic and macrocosmic spaces of the atom and the
solar system.

acquired over five decades and includes more than 200 works
representing some of the most acclaimed artists of the twentieth
century through the present. The donation was made in memory
of Stricklands mother, Adell Tucker Strickland. Essays by
Rennard Strickland address the collection, his personal family

Bruce Goff: A Creative Mind explores the legacy of architect


Bruce Goff (19041982), one of the most experimental and
innovative architects of the twentieth century. A proponent
of organic architecture, Goff envisioned fantastic structures
inspired by the natural world. This catalogue, published
in conjunction with the 2010 exhibition at the Fred Jones
Jr. Museum of Art and the Price Tower Art Center, surveys
Goffs career as an architect, interior designer, and artist with
a special focus on twelve buildings that were demolished or
never realized. The catalogue includes an examination of those
buildings that were recreated for the exhibition by Skyline
Ink Animation Studios as animations and three-dimensional
renderings. Through extensive research of surviving blueprints,
construction documents, and renderings, the animations offered
a virtual experience of Goffs works and were displayed on a
large structure known as the Pod, created by the University
of Oklahoma School of Architecture. The catalogue includes
new insights on Goff and his work with essays by Joe D. Price,
Brian Eyerman, Hans E. Butzer, Sidney K. Robinson, Kay L.
Johnson, Scott W. Perkins, and Mark A. White.
Scott W. Perkins is the Director of Preservation, Fallingwater at

PERKINS BRUCE GOFF

After training at The Studio of the Santa Fe Indian School


in the 1930s, the Chiricahua Apache artist Allan Houser
(19141994) had both commercial and critical success as a
painter and sculptor. Unlike some artists, he generally was
not comfortable working in a painterly style but, believing
that charcoals and pastels would enable him to intensify the
freshness and spontaneity of his imagery, Houser began to
focus on drawing. Houser built a dedicated drawing and design
studio in Santa Fe in 1990 and was extremely prolific over
the next four years. Allan Houser Drawings: The Centennial
Exhibition offers a critical examination of Housers career
as a draughtsman, from his early career to the rich body of
work he produced late in life. Both the publication and the
accompanying exhibition coincided with the centennial of
Housers birth and a national celebration of the artists legacy.

Libertad de Expresin examines how both the Organization of


American States and its cultural institution, the Art Museum
of the Americas, advanced Latin American art and democratic
values during the Cold War. Ironically, Jos Gmez Sicres
support for freedom of expression rarely included artists of a
socialist or communist bent, and his support for international
modernism also allied him with U.S. cold warriors who used
freedom of expression as a tool in the cultural and intellectual
struggle against the Soviets. Freedom of expression was given
a Latin cast through Gmez Sicres exhibition and collection
policies. Published in conjunction with the eponymous
exhibition, the publication features the work of more than 60
artists, including Joaqun Torres-Garca, Roberto Matta, and
Jess Rafael Soto.

For the Hopi people of the southwestern United States, katsinam


are spiritual beings that guide cultural practices devoted to the
search for balance with the peoples earthly existence. The physical
representations of the katsinam have become an integral part of
the Southwests artistic signature, with as many as 300 distinct
spirits identified in the Hopi pantheon. Hopituy examines six
katsina figure types as depicted across 170 objects from the Fred
Jones Jr. Museum of Art permanent collections in diverse media,
including woodcarving, painting, basketry, and ceramics.
This publication explores how Hopi artists express the
relationship between traditional protocol, cultural beliefs,
and artistic license. The essays provide a helpful introduction
to the artistic diversity that expresses the culture and beliefs
of the Hopi people and a narrative context for the full-color
images of selected works from the 2013 exhibition. Works
for the publication were drawn from the FJJMAs permanent
collections, including those given by James T. Bialac, University
of Oklahoma President and Mrs. David L. Boren, Richard H.
and Adeline J. Fleischaker, Dr. and Mrs. R. E. Mansfield, Tom
F. Meaders, and Rennard Strickland, as well as the Eugene B.
