This extraordinary series has its roots in 1998. OU Press editor Ron Chrisman drew on his personal interest to persuade director John Drayton that the press should sharpen its military history offerings. Examining the publishing landscape and identifying a rising star in the field, Chrisman asked Urwin: would you like to edit a series?
They dubbed the idea Campaigns & Commanders. The goals: make each volume the definitive work on a particular battle, campaign, or commander, and mix lively narratives with the latest research. The resulting books—more than 80, known for both research integrity and readability— are popular with scholars and curious general interest readers alike. Military

A longtime admirer of Urwin’s legacy, Leggiere is committed to building on it: making the University of Oklahoma Press’s Campaigns & Commanders series a premier home for cutting-edge scholarship that reveals the complexity, contingency, and often the tragedy of war.

A Naturalist’s Guide to OKLAHOMA
Priscilla H. C. Crawford
A friendly exploration and celebration of Oklahoma’s rich natural diversity
FROM THE GULF COASTAL PLAIN home to alligators and palmettos in the southeastern corner of the state to high plains and mesas dotted with ponderosa pine and big horn sheep in the panhandle, Oklahoma teems with biodiversity and surprisingly variable topography. More than 2,000 species of plants and 800 vertebrate animals, including 450 different birds, fill the state’s distinct ecoregions. In A Naturalist’s Guide to Oklahoma, the first comprehensive exploration of these ecoregions, professional biologist Priscilla Crawford celebrates the natural diversity found across the state and in residents’ own backyards.
Crawford’s tour of the state’s natural riches explains why so many species of plants, animals, and bugs live here, and how to read the geological, climatological, and elevation transitions that make such diversity possible. With each chapter covering a different ecoregion, the book explores each area’s ecological, topographical, and geological features and the common and distinctive species found there. In addition, the author summarizes the ways in which humans have affected the landscape in each ecoregion for centuries. Finally, each chapter includes a list of the public lands in that ecoregion where readers can experience the nature described—and featured in more than 150 color photographs—firsthand.
Throughout the book, Crawford invites readers to learn more about Oklahoma’s natural environments, including those closer to home. Chapters on reservoirs and urban areas offer readers insight into the biodiversity of built environments—from where best to find wildlife and what kinds might be seen, to the appeal of “wild edges” gardeners might have thought merely a sign of neglect. Throughout, Crawford offers specific, helpful suggestions for how to make suburban Oklahoma yards a refuge for native flora and fauna, and how to collect and share data on local wildlife with others.
Long overdue, this lavishly illustrated, friendly guide is the book citizenscientists and curious wanderers will want in their hands as they set out to explore the state’s abundant natural diversity.
Priscilla H. C. Crawford is an ecologist and conservation specialist at the Oklahoma Biological Survey.

Tumbleweed Underworld
A Saga of Morphine and Mayhem in the Arizona Territory
By Eduardo Obregón Pagán
Georgie Clifford appears briefly in the annals of American history as an 1894 inmate of the Yuma Territorial Prison, one of two female prisoners among hundreds of hardened, violent men. A denizen of an Old West underworld of prostitution and narcotics, she had been convicted of murder for giving a lethal dose of morphine to a client. Telling Georgie's story in Tumbleweed Underworld, Eduardo Obregón Pagán exposes a dark underside of the turn-of-the-century American West, where attorneys, soldiers, doctors, miners, well-off women, and Chinese immigrants were caught up in the country's first opioid epidemic.
Georgie Clifford began life as Minnie Eichler in the small mining town of Clifton, Arizona Territory. After being raped by her mother's boyfriend and testifying in the subsequent trial, Minnie fled Clifton, taking with her a taste for the morphine given her for her trauma. Tumbleweed Underworld follows Minnie through brothels, mining camps, and logging towns, through shifting personas and deeper dependency, to the trial in Flagstaff, Arizona, that ultimately landed her in prison. The story continues after her release and sees Georgie descend into a true addiction hell—in and out of jail cells, cribs, ditches, and the state asylum—before finally recovering and finding a measure of redemption in reconnecting with her family.
This moving tale of a young woman's years-long struggle with trauma and addiction puts a human face on the nexus of unrestricted opiates, sex trafficking, addiction, and the lack of effective treatment in the Old West. It also gives substance to the global story of opium and its derivatives, the beginnings of the pharmaceutical industry, the rehabilitation efforts of reformers, and the nascent government attempts to control both drugs and sex in the early twentieth century.
Eduardo Obregón Pagán is the Bob Stump Endowed Professor of History at Arizona State University. He is author of Valley of the Guns: The Pleasant Valley War and the Trauma of Violence. From 2007 to 2011, Pagán co-hosted History Detectives on PBS.

How punk and Indigenous America converge and coexist
Where Next, Columbus? A Native Punk Mixtape
By Thomas Michael Swensen
Just as a mixtape brings together disparate songs to give voice to its curator's musical mindset, in Where Next, Columbus? Thomas Michael Swensen juxtaposes different types of cultural production to explore how Native America and punk coexist, inform each other, and together articulate their own politics.
Through an archive of zines, songs, flyers, and art installation, Swensen's Mixtape maps hardcore, thrash, metal, and even pop punk onto the Indigenous Americas. With each chapter a track, the book compiles a setlist drawn from across the Western Hemisphere, from sparsely populated regions of Alaska to the crowded streets of Mexico City, where a punk market stands atop the ruins of Tenochtitlan. Emerging from the mix is the discovery that Native punk articulates sovereignty beyond definitions of state power by exerting independence from corporations and governments. This mixtape reveals how Native punk, pinned at the crossroads of the personal and the collective, articulates self-determination to question both tribal norms and colonial tropes.
Stage diving with the Friends of Cesar Romero, the Bastard Fairies, Lozen, and Postcommodity, Where Next, Columbus? conducts readers on a journey that engages familiar punk maxims like DIY ethics, disruptive artistry, humor as critique, and the relentless questioning of authority figures—arriving at a kaleidoscopic vision of sovereignty through Native sounds and visual arts. Where next, Columbus? We're already there. Press play.
Thomas Michael Swensen (citizen of Tangirnaq Native village), was born and raised on Kodiak Island and is an original shareholder in Koniag and Leisnoi, organizations established through the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971. He is an Assistant Professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of Utah. Punk saved his life.

Hungry Oklahoma
Confronting Poverty and Food Insecurity
By Robert Lee Maril
In Oklahoma, one out of every six residents is poor. One in five children lives in poverty and faces food insecurity. In Hungry Oklahoma, native son and sociologist Robert Lee Maril follows in the tradition of the national bestsellers Nickel and Dimed and Evicted to illuminate the lived experience of poverty and food insecurity in communities across the state.
Maril’s account is immediately personal. He begins with “guests,” as shoppers are called by volunteers, waiting in line in the sweltering heat one summer for “Thy Will Be Done,” a food pantry, to open. Unable to afford air conditioning, some guests don’t buy foods that would spoil on the counter. One woman, Norma, carefully places only canned vegetables in her cart. When she returns to her twenty-year-old pickup, in the truck bed are lawn chairs, blankets, and pans—everything she owns. “The landlord told us this morning we was homeless,” Norma says. “I’m not thinking straight.”
Drawing on interviews and participant-observation data from his volunteer work at a food pantry, as well as census and sociological data, Maril documents in rich ethnographic detail the status of poverty and low-wage workers in the state today and within historical context. He explores how institutions—such as faith-based organizations, government, and food pantries—structure and shape experiences of poverty. While Maril celebrates the nonprofit and faithbased efforts that make a difference, this book also is critical of conditions and stereotypes that have entrenched poverty in the state.
Hungry Oklahoma ultimately suggests that persistent and pervasive poverty can be eliminated. Its moving accounts of real Oklahomans and their experiences make it a clarion call for not only those interested in policy issues but all Oklahomans who want a better today and tomorrow for those who call the state home.
Robert Lee Maril is Professor of Sociology Emeritus at East Carolina University. He is author of nine books, including Waltzing With the Ghost of Tom Joad: Poverty, Myth, and Low-Wage Labor in Oklahoma.
The Lighthorse Police
A History of Tribal Justice
By Donald L. Fixico
Long before Oklahoma became a state in 1907, cattle rustlers, horse thieves, and other criminals saw the land as a place to exploit resources and evade capture. But in the heyday of the outlaw era after the Civil War, Indigenous police officers—mounted Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Muscogee, and Seminole Lighthorse units—brought them to justice. In The Lighthorse Police, Donald L. Fixico weaves a lively history of these Five Tribes’ law enforcement organizations as he explores their origin, operation, and survival from the late eighteenth century to the present.
Fixico begins by delving into the Five Tribes’ systems of justice prior to removal to Indian Territory in the 1830s, and their shift from adhering to clan-based law to national laws. He traces the Cherokees’ and Choctaws’ creation of constitutions and lighthorse units as expressions of tribal sovereignty prior to removal, and the Chickasaws’, Muscogees’, and Seminoles’ development of these after removal. In detailing the decades that followed, he draws on the stories of individual lighthorsemen to paint a compelling portrait of territorial violence and justice.
In tandem with his exploration of tribal justice, Fixico investigates “white justice” in the region after the Civil War. This justice was delivered by federal marshals like Fort Smith’s infamous “hanging judge,” Isaac Parker, and their deputies. Fixico demonstrates how federal and Native officers clashed and ultimately worked together to catch criminals.
After Oklahoma statehood, the lighthorse fell into disuse, but the organizations resurged in the 1970s. Today, lighthorse officers drive modern patrol cars to protect their communities. In its exploration of law and order from an Indigenous perspective, The Lighthorse Police tells a broader story about sovereignty and violence, Indigenous justice and white justice, and the camaraderie and pride shared by law enforcers across time.
Donald L. Fixico (Muscogee, Seminole, Shawnee, and Sac and Fox enrolled) is Regents and Distinguished Foundation Professor of History at Arizona State University. He is author of many books, including The State of Sequoyah: Indigenous Sovereignty and the Quest for an Indian State and Chitto Harjo: Native Patriotism and the Medicine Way

Bridget’s Gambit
A Saga of Family Enterprise in Gold Rush California
By Craig S. Harwood
In 1828 Bridget Miranda Evoy escaped famine-stricken Ireland with her children for a better life in America. But the relief she desperately sought was elusive. Within two years, she was a widow and was left raising her five children after the untimely death of her husband. Finding herself in dire straits in “The Gateway to the West,” Bridget's Gambit tells the story of how this remarkable young widow managed to make her way to California and became an entrepreneur during the Gold Rush. In this engrossing family saga, Craig S. Harwood recounts the adventures and accomplishments of this singularly determined woman and her daughters, from a harrowing overland crossing in the winter of 1849 to innovative efforts to build an empire in defiance of the social and gender constraints of the Victorian Era.
When Bridget and her family arrived in the California Territory, they saw opportunities where others did not, charting a path rooted in a prescient view of the rapidly evolving western economy. By pursuing commercial ventures that served emerging communities in Northern California, the family was able to ascend the social ladder and exert influence, doing business with many early shapers of California statehood. Bridget's Gambit captures the stark reality of the patriarchal world of business in the Old West—and the extraordinary lengths to which Bridget and her daughters went in creating a diverse web of financial enterprises that brought some of the most prominent American businessmen into her orbit.
Harwood's spirited biography of an audacious, persistent woman brings to the forefront the largely unheralded contributions of women in the forming of California statehood—and restores a lost chapter to the history of the American West.
Craig S. Harwood is co-author of the award-winning Quest for Flight: John J. Montgomery and the Dawn of Aviation in the West, as well as several journal articles on the invention of flight. In addition to researching and writing about aspects of California history, he is a professional engineering geologist with more than thirty-five years of consulting experience throughout coastal California.
The true story of a farm girl caught up in the terror of the western Civil War
Mollie Brumley’s Civil War
Surviving the Guerrilla War in Arkansas
By Theodore Catton
Mollie Brumley, a thirteen-year-old orphan, was living on a farm in the mountainous Ozarks of northwest Arkansas when the Civil War broke out. In a borderland region on the northern periphery of slavery and the western edge of white settlement, her corner of Arkansas saw terrible destruction—but not primarily from fighting between opposing armies. Mollie Brumley's Civil War was one of guerilla warfare and outlawry, shifting loyalties, betrayals real and imagined, and, for some, death by starvation. In telling Mollie's story, drawing largely upon her 1901 autobiography, Theodore Catton offers a rare intimate look at the heroism and desperation of war conducted on the home front—all amidst the anything-but-ordinary romantic adventures of an adolescent who lived during an extraordinary time.
In the course of this riveting narrative, Mollie—while still in her teens—falls in love with one Confederate soldier who is lost in battle, marries another who joins the Rebel guerrillas, and leaves the farm to become an army laundress during escalating guerrilla depredations against her home and family.
Intertwined with Mollie's tale is that of Parthenia Hensley, an enslaved young woman living in the same rural community. The story of Parthenia and her white family of enslavers broadens Catton's portrait of a war-torn community of farmers on the edge of the Slave South.
An unprecedented picture of the Civil War in the Trans-Mississippi West, Mollie Brumley's Civil War is also a remarkable coming-of-age story shaped by the fight against slavery—a fight that Mollie didn't choose but that finally influenced the person she became and the outcome of her life.
Theodore Catton is a public historian, independent scholar, historical consultant, and faculty affiliate in the Department of History at the University of Montana.

Blood Vessels
Vigilante Violence in the American West
By Patrick T. Hoehne
The Bellevue War, the Driscoll lynchings, the mob killing of Latter-day Saints founder Joseph Smith, the violent collapse of a criminal family network in Illinois, the claim club violence of Nebraska, and the bloody vigilante campaigns in Denver, Virginia City, and Bannock: from 1840 through 1865, these episodes of extralegal violence flowed through the regions now known as Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, Colorado, and Montana.
Blood Vessels: Vigilante Violence in the American West reveals the web of human movement, exchange, and collision that bound together these seemingly unrelated incidents of extralegal violent action. Exposing the direct human connections linking these episodes, Patrick T. Hoehne reframes the prevailing understanding of both the individual incidents of violent action and the larger history of vigilante violence in the antebellum United States. With fresh insight into prominent moments of violence like the Montana vigilante movement and the lynching of Joseph Smith, Blood Vessels also shows how extralegal violence gave rise to western cities such as Omaha and Denver.
Hoehne’s focus on the human mechanics behind vigilante violence offers a window into the efforts of nineteenth-century Americans to challenge, uphold, twist, and reimagine the law and their relationship to it. Lawmen became lynchers, and horse thieves remade themselves as sheriffs. The result, as the book shows, was a growing willingness of Americans to engage in extralegal violence, even to the extreme of killing their enemies. Blood Vessels looks past the regional exceptionalism of previous scholarship and carefully considers how violence flowed from the American Middle West into the West during this period. These rapid transformations of society represent a deeply human history, one with implications for our understanding of not only the violent incidents themselves, but the very mechanics behind vigilante violence in the nineteenth-century United States.
Patrick T. Hoehne is a historian of violence in the nineteenth-century United States.
After the Theft of the Sacred
Experiential Religion in Indigenous Writing
By Reginald Dyck
In recent decades, individualistic and secular ways of participating in the world have grown pervasive in Western society. This evolution has compelled shifts in Indian Country as well. In After the Theft of the Sacred, Native American literature scholar Reginald Dyck investigates these shifts, and the resulting complexities of contemporary Indigenous religious and spiritual experiences. Drawing on a wide range of works by well-known Indigenous authors, he shows how Native communities and characters use their lived religions to make sense of an increasingly fragmented and urban world.
Dyck explores a range of interdisciplinary perspectives to reckon with the transition from an Indigenous communal social imaginary to a modern individualistic one in which belief has become a choice rather than a given. He applies careful close readings to the novels of Ray Young Bear, Greg Sarris, Louise Erdrich, Leslie Marmon Silko, and Tommy Orange; and the poetry of Simon J. Ortiz, Robert Davis Hoffmann, Joy Harjo and Linda Hogan; among other works. Dyck argues that these authors show the ways that Native communities and characters have suffered, as an effect of colonialism, a spiritual theft—what N. Scott Momaday has incisively called “the theft of the sacred.” This theft is evident across religious expressions, he argues, whether one is a traditionalist, a member of the Native American Church, a Christian, or any other kind of believer or nonbeliever. Yet within what many label as a spiritual crisis, Dyck demonstrates that communities and characters create continuities through adaptations, improvisations, individualizations, and leaps of faith.
Native studies scholarship regularly references Indigenous religions, but few works analyze them experientially as this book does. The interdisciplinary interpretations developed in After the Theft of the Sacred make manifest the richness of Indigenous literature in its engagement of spiritual challenges experienced by contemporary Native peoples.
Reginald Dyck is Professor Emeritus of English at Capital University. His research and writing focus on the work of Native American authors, including Greg Sarris.

We Are Black, Too
Aboriginal Australians and the Black Panther Party
By Jacynda Ammons
In December of 1971 the Black Panther Party expanded to Australia. This might seem an odd place for a quintessentially African American political force, but as Jacynda Ammons reveals in this expansive work, Aboriginal Australians had long looked to the example of African Americans in their fight against white supremacy. Against a background of Australia's history of colonization and racialization, We Are Black, Too traces Aboriginal Australians' adoption of strains of Black activism from Marcus Garvey through the Civil Rights Movement and ultimately the Black Panther Party. In 1971 an International Section of the Black Panther Party was established in Algeria, but as Ammons shows, it was not until the demise of this section and a "split" within the party in the United States that a chapter of the Black Panther Party was formed in Australia.
Tapping archival research from the United States and Australia, and in light of the emphasis on international activism by Huey P. Newton and the Oakland Panthers, We Are Black, Too explores the links between the American and Australian chapters of the BPP. As it brings to light these unexpected connections, the book adds to our understanding of both the Black Panther movement and Aboriginal activism in Australia. And as it expands the larger analysis of “transnational blackness” and the global Black Diaspora, it offers powerful insights, and holds valuable lessons, for the activism and internationalism of African Americans today in movements of global solidarity to end systemic racism.

A Case for Congress
By Frances Lee
Polarized. Dysfunctional. Toxic. Broken. These are only some of the negative words Americans use to describe the United States Congress. Nowadays hardly anyone has something good to say about either the House of Representatives or the Senate, the two bodies that make up Congress. But is this common viewpoint too negative, too one-sided? And is it based on solid evidence or reasonable expectations? In A Case for Congress, political scholar Frances Lee provides a more balanced assessment, arguing for the enduring worth and importance of the representative assembly.
As one of the three branches of the US government, Congress stands at the heart of our liberal democracy. This continues to be true even when Congress is divided and fractious. Lee draws from a wide range of scholarship and current data to highlight three important functions that Congress continues to serve, as envisioned by the authors of the Constitution: representing the American people along multiple dimensions, lawmaking even in the face of persistent disagreement, and holding executive branch officials accountable. While Congress never fully achieves any of its functions, it still serves them.
Written in a clear and engaging style, A Case for Congress challenges readers to think against the grain and appreciate the Congress we have, not an ideal Congress that never in fact existed. “The bathwater is dirty,” the author acknowledges, “but there is a baby in there.” It turns out that a complex, polarized, distrustful republic of some 340 million Americans needs Congress more than ever.
Frances Lee is Professor of Politics and Public Affairs at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs. She is the author or editor of numerous books, including Insecure Majorities: Congress and the Perpetual Campaign and Beyond Ideology: Politics, Principles, and Partisanship in the U.S. Senate.

Making online asynchronous classes come alive
The Joyful Online Teacher
Finding Our Fizz in Asynchronous Classes
By Flower Darby
The happier the teacher, the better the learning experience—for instructor and student alike. With this equation at its core, The Joyful Online Teacher provides practical guidance for making distance learning infinitely more enjoyable and effective, and for improving the online teaching experience in asynchronous classes that often take place in Learning Management Systems (LMSs) like Canvas or Blackboard Learn, and where instructors and students rarely interact in real time, contributing to low completion rates.
One of the most pervasive challenges in distance learning is the absent online instructor; and one clear reason for this problem is the often unsatisfying nature of teaching online. A leading voice on online education, Flower Darby draws on the sciences of learning, emotion, and motivation, three decades of her own teaching, extensive research on online student experience, and the stories of joyful online teachers to present concrete tips for making online teaching more rewarding.

The key, Darby suggests, is learning to love teaching online. To that end, her book offers instructors accessible, inspiring, common-sense hacks for connecting with students, finding passion, navigating the structural inequities of higher ed, and more—all with a focus on building rapport and relationships, the central ingredients of happiness and satisfaction. These time-tested strategies and hard-won insights promise to help online teachers find meaning, purpose, and, yes, joy in their work—and, consequently, to fulfill the enormous, largely untapped potential of online education.

Military service and the complexities of Tejano identity
Reasons We Fight
Tejanos and American Wars, 1836-1972
By Alex Mendoza
Since the Texas Revolution in 1836, Tejanos have fought in American wars. Why, with sometimes divided loyalties and ambiguous cultural status, Texans of Mexican descent would fight for the U.S. is a question Alex Mendoza takes up in this book. Exploring the American military experience of Tejanos over nearly two centuries, Reasons We Fight discovers a complex landscape of shifting loyalties, motivations, and notions of nationalism reflecting Tejanos' conflicted relationship with America as it changed over time.
Mendoza's nuanced history reveals that Tejano military service since the Texas Revolution often had less to do with nationalism or patriotism than with individual decisions. A soldier might be motivated by local allegiances, ethnic pride, a desire to defend his home, escape poverty, or seek adventure in a foreign war. By World War II, these notions had become stronger, and the Tejano community responded to the attack on Pearl Harbor with the patriotic fervor of their Anglo-American neighbors. Reasons We Fight traces a growing sense of nationalism through the mid-twentieth century, as Tejanos sought to refute their second-class status as "inferior" individuals—and to demonstrate their warrior tradition, thus confirming their rights to citizenship through battle. In essence, by the Second World War, Tejanos who joined the ranks of the military adopted the characteristics of American nationalism—sentiments that would only expand during the Cold War era conflicts in Korea and Vietnam.
The first comprehensive record of Tejanos in war, Mendoza's account documents the forces and circumstances that shaped military attitudes among Mexican Texans, along with the challenges they faced navigating a complex of shifting ideas about identity, community, and nationalism—and America itself.

A bold new look at an ancient Mesoamerican script
The Isthmian Script
Deciphering Ancient Mesoamerican Writing
By Martha J. Macri
The Isthmian script, sometimes called Epi-Olmec, first came to the attention of scholars through inscribed texts on the Tuxtla Statuette and the La Mojarra Stela, both discovered in Veracruz, Mexico. In The Isthmian Script: Deciphering Ancient Mesoamerican Writing, linguist Martha J. Macri provides the most comprehensive account ever given of this ancient script and the tantalizing clues it holds for pre-Maya culture. While the Olmec culture of the Gulf of Mexico, among the oldest known in Mesoamerica, clearly inspired the artistic motifs and iconography of the region, Macri argues that on the basis of evidence from sculptural traditions farther to the south, the Isthmian script proper originated in Chiapas and Guatemala, not in the Olmec centers of San Lorenzo and La Venta.

Challenging a previous claim of full decipherment announced in the journal Science in 1993, Macri uses structural analysis and comparative iconography to demonstrate that the Isthmian script, even without a word-for-word decipherment, affords a wealth of data about the origins of Mesoamerican scripts and about interactions between Mixe-Zoquean and Mayan speakers during the Middle to Late Preclassic period (900 BCE–100 CE). This richly documented study offers observations on specific signs as a starting point for further research, providing data in support of the author’s hypotheses and spelling out clearly what is still not known. With valuable new insights into the linguistic prehistory and the iconography on stone sculpture in Mexico and Guatemala, Macri’s work calls a new generation of investigators to the Isthmian script and inspires renewed interest in the process of script invention among early Mesoamerican peoples.

Explores how the Manila Galleon trade reshaped art and material culture across Asia and the Americas
Transpacific Crossings
Art, Trade, and the Manila Galleon
Edited by Jorge F. Rivas Pérez
For 250 years (1565–1815), the Manila Galleon transported Asian goods from the Philippines to the Americas under the rule of the Spanish Crown. Stopping in Acapulco, Mexico, the silk, fans, lacquered goods, clothes, and porcelain brought by the galleon rapidly circulated through the Americas, introducing a new visual culture that influenced objects, consumers, makers, and merchants alike. Conversely, products imported from the Americas, such as silver, indigo dye, cochineal red, chili peppers, and corn, had an enormous impact on Asia. Eleven scholars from the United States, Mexico, and Singapore present current research on how the vast exchange of materials, techniques, and ideas between continents impacted the trajectory of art and material culture across the Pacific.
This richly illustrated book marks the twenty-third symposium volume from the Denver Art Museum’s Mayer Center for Ancient and Latin American Art. Editors & Contributors

Langston University A
History
By Zella J. Black Patterson With Lynette Wert
“This is the only book to date dedicated to the story of Oklahoma’s only HBCU. Amid turbulent political times, the relevance of this history cannot be underestimated. Patterson documents funding and enrollment trends and the policies of innovative leaders. Langston continues to fulfill the 1890s Land Grant mission of providing educational access to all, regardless of social or economic status. This book is a must-read for all Oklahomans.” Cindy Ross-Gibbs, Professor of English, Langston University
Founded in 1897, Langston’s origin lies in the bold vision of a small group of Black pioneers determined to provide higher education for their children. That vision took shape on forty acres of prairie purchased through community bake sales, auctions, and donations. In this compelling account, Zella Black Patterson—a Langston alumna, professor, and department chair—recounts the university’s early days, its cultural and academic achievements, and the indomitable spirit of the people who built it. Now a member of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund with urban campuses in Oklahoma City and Tulsa, and newly named a Carnegie Research College and University in 2025, Langston continues to fulfill the dreams of its founders.
Zella Black Patterson (1909–1986) was raised in Logan County and attended Langston University. A longtime professor and chair of its Home Economics Department, she was also a prolific writer and author of three books.

Last Spanish Ruler of Texas and Northeastern New Spain By Bradley Folsom
An engaging portrait of one of New Spain’s most ruthless and effective leaders
★ Winner of the Carol Horton Tullis Memorial Prize, Texas State Historical Association
★ Winner of the Kate Broocks Bates Award, Texas State Historical Association
★ Winner of the Presidio La Bahia Award, Sons of the Republic of Texas
In this biography of Joaquín de Arredondo, historian Bradley Folsom brings to life one of the most influential and ruthless leaders in North American history. Arredondo (1776–1837), a Bourbon loyalist who governed Texas and the other interior provinces of northeastern New Spain during the Mexican War of Independence, contended with attacks by revolutionaries, U.S. citizens, generals who had served in Napoleon’s army, pirates, and various American Indian groups, all attempting to wrest control of the region. Often resorting to violence to deal with the provinces’ problems, Arredondo was for ten years the most powerful official in northeastern New Spain.Folsom’s lively account shows the challenges of governing a vast and inhospitable region and provides insight into nineteenthcentury military tactics and Spanish vice regal realpolitik.
Bradley Folsom is Professor of History at Grayson College in Denison, Texas.

Killing over Land
Murder and Diplomacy on the Early American Frontier
By Robert M. Owens
In early America, interracial homicide— whites killing Native Americans, Native Americans killing whites—might result in a massive war on the frontier; or, if properly mediated, it might actually facilitate diplomatic relations, at least for a time. In Killing over Land, Robert M. Owens explores why and how such murders once played a key role in Indian affairs and how this role changed over time.

So small it had only one bank, so quiet no citizens carried guns. Hard-working and peaceful Northfield, Minnesota, was a mill town in the heart of farm country. On a serene autumn day in 1876, locals went about their normal routines not realizing that the infamous and deadly James-Younger gang had designs on Northfield. In Last Hurrah of the James-Younger Gang, Robert Barr Smith debunks the James-Younger "Robin Hood" image and shows that the real heroes of the Northfield raid were ordinary people.

Native Kinship, Politics, and Gender in the Great Lakes Country, 1790–1850

Kinship, as an organizing principle, gives structure to communities and cultures—and it can vary as widely as the social relationships organized in its name. Making Relatives of Them examines kinship among the Great Lakes Native nations in the eventful years of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, revealing how these Indigenous peoples’ understanding of kinship, in complex relationship with concepts of gender, defined their social, political, and diplomatic interactions with one another and with Europeans and their descendants.

Manifest Destiny and the New Mexico Borderlands
By William S. Kiser
Previous histories have treated the Santa Fe trade, the American occupation under Colonel Stephen W. Kearny, the antebellum Indian Wars, debates over slavery, the Pacific Railway, and the Confederate invasion during the Civil War as separate events in New Mexico. In Coast-to-Coast Empire, William S. Kiser demonstrates instead that these developments were interconnected parts of a process by which the United States effected the political, economic, and ideological transformation of the region.

Fort Bascom
Soldiers, Comancheros, and Indians in the Canadian River Valley
By James Bailey Blackshear
In Fort Bascom, James Bailey Blackshear presents the definitive history of this critical outpost in the American Southwest, along with a detailed view of army life on the late-nineteenthcentury western frontier. Located in the middle of what General William T. Sherman called “an awful country,” Fort Bascom’s hardships went beyond the army’s efforts to control the Comanches and Kiowas. Blackshear shows the difficulties of maintaining a post in a harsh environment where scarce water and forage, long supply lines, poorly constructed facilities, and monotonous duty tested soldiers’ endurance.
James Bailey Blackshear is an adjunct professor of history at the University of North Texas at Dallas.
