The Northern Cheyenne Breakout from Fort Robinson, 1878–1879
By Jerome A. Greene
Historian Jerome A. Greene is renowned for his memorable chronicles of egregious
events involving American Indians and the U.S. military, including Sand Creek,
Washita, and Wounded Knee. Now, in January Moon, Greene draws from extensive
research and fieldwork to explore a signal—and appallingly brutal—event in
American history: the desperate flight of Chief Dull Knife’s Northern Cheyenne
Indians from imprisonment at Fort Robinson, Nebraska.
In the wake of the Great Sioux War of 1876–77, the U.S. government expelled
most Northern Cheyennes from their northern plains homeland to Indian Territory,
in present-day Oklahoma. Following mounting hardships, many of those people,
under Chiefs Dull Knife and Little Wolf, broke away, seeking to return north. While
Little Wolf’s band managed initially to elude pursuing U.S. troops, Dull Knife’s
people were captured in 1878 and ushered into a makeshift barrack prison at Camp APRIL

place under an unusually brilliant moon that doomed many of those fleeing by

proved especially devastating, and the helpless people were nearly annihilated.

Junípero Serra
California, Indians, and the Transformation of a Missionary
By Rose Marie Beebe and Robert M. Senkewicz
Franciscan missionary friar Junípero Serra (1713–1784), one of the most widely
known and influential inhabitants of early California, embodied many of the ideas
and practices that animated the Spanish presence in the Americas. In this definitive
biography, translators and historians Rose Marie Beebe and Robert M. Senkewicz
bring this complex figure to life and illuminate the Spanish period of California and
the American Southwest.
Beebe and Senkewicz interpret Junípero Serra neither as a saint nor as the
personification of the Black Legend. They recount his life from his birth in a small
farming village on Mallorca. They detail his experiences in central Mexico and
Baja California, as well as the tumultuous fifteen years he spent as founder of the
California missions. Serra’s Franciscan ideals are analyzed in their eighteenth-
century context, which allows readers to understand more fully the differences and

Frontiers of Boyhood
Imagining America, Past and Future
By Martin Woodside
When Horace Greeley published his famous imperative, “Go West young man, and
grow up with the country,” the frontier was already synonymous with a distinctive
type of idealized American masculinity. But Greeley’s exhortation also captured
popular sentiment surrounding changing ideas of American boyhood; for many
educators, politicians, and parents, raising boys right seemed a pivotal step in
securing the growing nation’s future. This book revisits these narratives of American
boyhood and frontier mythology to show how they worked against and through
one another—and how this interaction shaped ideas about national character,
identity, and progress.
The intersection of ideas about boyhood and the frontier, while complex and

NANCE RODEO
Rodeo
An Animal History
By Susan Nance
“What would rodeo look like if we took it as a record, not of human triumph and
resilience, but of human imperfection and stubbornness?” asks animal historian
Susan Nance. Against the backdrop of the larger histories of ranching, cattle, horses,
and the environment in the West, this book explores how the evolution of rodeo
has reflected rural western beliefs and assumptions about the natural world that
have led to environmental crises and served the beef empire. By unearthing behind-
the-scenes stories of rodeo animals as diverse individuals, this book lays bare
contradictions within rodeo and the rural West.
For almost 150 years, westerners have used rodeo to symbolically reenact their
struggles with animals and the land as uniformly progressive and triumphant.
Nance upends that view with accounts of individual animals that reveal how VOLUME 3 IN THE ENVIRONMENT IN

Discordant Memories
Atomic Age Narratives and Visual Culture
By Alison Fields
On two separate days in August 1945, the United States dropped atomic bombs
over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. As the seventy-fifth anniversary
of these cataclysmic bombings draws near, American and Japanese citizens are
seeking new ways to memorialize these events for future generations. In Discordant
Memories, Alison Fields explores—through the lenses of multiple disciplines—
ongoing memories of the two bombings. Enhanced by striking color and black-
and-white images, this book is an innovative contribution to the evolving fields of
memory studies and nuclear humanities.
