Loren Miller Civil Rights Attorney and Journalist

By Amina Hassan Loren Miller was one of the nation’s 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 Miller’s 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.

The story of the state’s flagship institution through two world wars, the Great Depression, and the early civil rights movement

The University of Oklahoma A History, Volume II: 1917–1950

By David W. Levy In 1917 it was still possible for the University of Oklahoma’s annual Catalogue to include a roster of every student’s 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 Levy’s projected three-part history chronicles these changes, charting the University’s course through one of the most dramatic periods in American history.

By Harold Keith $19.95s Paper 978-0-8061-3569-4

Following Oklahoma’s 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 institution’s evolution into a complex, diverse, and multifaceted seat of learning. By 1950 enrollment had increased fivefold, and by every measure—the number of colleges and campus buildings, degrees awarded and programs offered, volumes in the library, faculty publications, out-of-state and foreign students in attendance—the University was on its way to becoming a worldclass educational institution.

Levy weaves together human and institutional history as he describes the school’s remarkable—sometimes remarkably difficult—development 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 Oklahoma’s storied center of learning.

David W. Levy is retired as the Irene and Julian J. Rothbaum Professor of Modern American History and David Ross Boyd Professor of History at the University of Oklahoma. He is the author of Herbert Croly of the New Republic: The Life and Thought of an American Progressive; The Debate over Vietnam; and Mark Twain: The Divided Mind of America’s Best-Loved Writer.

The Sooner Story The University of Oklahoma, 1890–2015

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 Oklahoma’s 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 University’s 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 bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral level.

OU’s 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 university’s 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 school’s history through the lens of each presidential administration from the beginning of David Ross Boyd’s tenure to the present moment in David Lyle Boren’s 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 university’s 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.

In this, his first collection of poetry, Anaya presents twentyeight of his best poems, most of which have never before been published.

Although the poems gathered here take a variety of forms—haiku, elegy, epic—all are imbued with the same lyrical and satirical styles that underlie Anaya’s 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 Anaya’s work: nostalgia for the landscape and customs of his boyhood in rural New Mexico, a deep connection to the Río 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 Anaya’s 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 Río Grande offers readers a glimpse into his development as a poet and as one of the most celebrated Chicano authors of our time.

Winter’s 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 Oklahoma’s tallgrass prairie ecology.

Winter’s Hawk introduces the reader to the hawk’s 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, Winter’s 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.

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 Seton’s 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, Seton’s 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, Seton’s 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 Seton’s enthralling tale with scientific observations of grizzly behavior in the wild, Johnston and Preston evaluate the story’s accuracy and bring the story of Yellowstone grizzlies into the present day.

Preserving the 1900 edition’s original design and illustrations, Wahb brings new understanding to an American classic, updating the book for current and future generations.

Ernest Thompson Seton (1860–1946) 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 Walters’s 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 author’s 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 culture—quoting lines of pop songs in their correspondence—and 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 Hawaii’s 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

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.

NEW BOOKS FALL 2015

A haunting portrait of life in China in the midst of cataclysmic change

Memories of the Cultural Revolution Poems

By Luo Ying Translated by Denis Mair At once a work of narrative lyricism and an act of personal courage, this memoir in verse documents the human cost of a period of political turmoil in China’s recent past. Luo Ying—the pen name of Huang Nubo, a celebrated poet, Forbes billionaire, and mountain climber—draws readers into the depths of the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976) by rendering its defining moments in his life with devastating precision and clarity. The narrative poems that make up Memories of the Cultural Revolution combine the ardor of youthful experience with the cooler insight of mature reflection, offering a nuanced picture of life in the midst of historic change.

NOVEMBER $14.95 PAPER 978-0-8061-4917-2 128 PAGES, 6 × 9 POETRY

The “Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution” marked a critical passage on China’s 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 Ying’s 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 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 selections—three of which are nonfiction—by up-andcoming Chinese writers take readers from the suburbs of Nanjing to the mountains of Xinjiang Province, from London’s 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 China’s remarkable literary landscape. Drawn from the pages of Chutzpah!, once one of China’s 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 (2011–2014), 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!

By Michael Wallis $19.95 Paper 978-0-8061-4676-8

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 forces—and 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 Petrie Parkman & Co., a Denver- and Houston-based energy investment banking firm that merged with Merrill Lynch in 2006.

Tom Horn in Life and Legend

A Polish Doctor in the Nazi Camps

By Larry D. Ball

My Mother’s Memories of Imprisonment, Immigration, 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 (1860–1903) was both and more—a lawman, soldier, hired gunman, detective, outlaw, and assassin.

Known as Jadzia (Yah’-jah), Jadwiga Lenartowicz Rylko was a young Polish Catholic physician in Lódz 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. Horn’s guilt is still debated.

This masterful historical biography by historian Larry Ball distinguishes truth from legend to present the definitive account of the violent life—and death—of 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, 1846–1912 and Elfego Baca: In Life and Legend.

By Scott L. Collins and Linda L. Wallace $19.95s Paper 978-0-8061-2315-8

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 state’s 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 Berman’s and Sutton’s work within that tradition, and Preston focuses on the natural history of the grasslands, illuminating the area’s 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 (1814–1872), 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 Institution—where in 1865 a fire destroyed all but seven of them. This volume, featuring a comprehensive collection of Stanley’s extant art, reproduced in full color, offers an opportunity—and ample reason—to 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 way—work that helped secure his fame in the following decades. He was also appointed chief artist for Isaac Stevens’s 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 Stanley’s life and work from every angle.

The authors consider the artist’s 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 Stanley’s artistic accomplishment and document the unfolding of that uniquely American vision throughout the artist’s colorful life.

Together they restore Stanley to his rightful place in the panorama of nineteenthcentury American life and art.

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.

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.

By Richard L. Nostrand $19.95s Paper 978-0-8061-2889-4

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, 1890–1940.

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 Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath and the photographs produced for the New Deal’s 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 Steinbeck’s novel and the FSA’s photography—and 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 FSA’s work to publicize the plight of the migrant in the wake of the novel and John Ford’s 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.

A man of varied talents whose poems and songs complement his work in punched tin, Gonzales transcends categorization. In The Artistic Odyssey of Higinio V. Gonzales, Maurice M.

By John Adair $19.95 Paper 978-0-8061-2215-1

Recounting the scholarly detective work that revealed the full scope of Gonzales’s art and career, Dixon tells the story of a craftsman who was also a poet. He begins with Gonzales’s first signed literary work, a handwritten birthday poem decorated with beautifully drawn flowers and birds, dated 1889, and then pieces together the artist’s 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 Gonzales’s 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 Gonzales’s other artwork.

More than 100 photographs of Gonzales’s tinwork and more than a dozen translations of the artist’s poetic and musical works punctuate the narrative. Both a catalogue raisonné 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.

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. Echohawk’s 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 Echohawk’s 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 Echohawk’s 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 Aguilera–Black 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 Aguilera–Black 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.

NEW BOOKS FALL 2015

A unique collection of articles by the prominent Indian rights activist

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 (1830–85) 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 Jackson’s career.

By Francis Paul Prucha $24.95s Paper 978-0-8061-4625-6

The articles served as the basis for Jackson’s 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, Jackson’s fondness for Old California helped shape the region’s 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 Jackson’s 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 the history of Southern California, especially Orange County, and for thirty years served as the historian for the Ramona Pageant.

Malinche, Pocahontas, and Sacagawea Indian Women as Cultural Intermediaries and National Symbols

By Rebecca Kay Jager The first Europeans to arrive in North America’s 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 women’s societies of origin—the 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 women’s 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 woman’s 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.

A remarkable store of primary source material on Plains Indian cultures

Through Indian Sign Language The Fort Sill Ledgers of Hugh Lenox Scott and Iseeo, 1889–1897 Edited by William C. Meadows 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 culture—a body of ethnographic material conveyed through Plains Indian Sign Language (in which Scott was highly accomplished) and recorded in handwritten English. This remarkable resource—the largest of its kind before the late twentieth century—appears here in full for the first time, put into context by noted scholar William C. Meadows.

The Scott ledgers contain an array of historic, linguistic, and ethnographic data—a 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, Meadows’s incisive analysis, and the complete contents of Scott’s 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.

William C. Meadows is Professor of Anthropology at Missouri State University and the author of several books on the Kiowas, Comanches, and Apaches, including Kiowa Military Societies: Ethnohistory and Ritual and Kiowa Ethnogeography.

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. White’s timely study reminds readers, including the Canadian and U.S. governments, of the critical importance of an Indigenous nation’s 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.

The nine Native tribes of Washington State’s Olympic Peninsula—the Hoh, Skokomish, Squaxin Island, Lower Elwha Klallam, Jamestown S’Klallam, Port Gamble S’Klallam, Quinault, Quileute, and Makah—share complex histories of trade, religion, warfare, and kinship, as well as reverence for the teaching of elders.

However, each indigenous nation’s relationship to the Olympic Peninsula is unique.

Native Peoples of the Olympic Peninsula: Who We Are traces the nine tribes’ common history and each tribe’s individual story. This second edition is updated to include new developments since the volume’s initial publication—especially the removal of the Elwha River dams—thus reflecting the ever-changing environment for the Native peoples of the Olympic Peninsula.

Nine essays, researched and written by members of the subject tribes, cover cultural history, contemporary affairs, heritage programs, and tourism information. Edited by anthropologist Jacilee Wray, who also provides the book’s introduction, this collection relates the Native peoples’ history in their own words and addresses each tribe’s current cultural and political issues, from the establishment of community centers to mass canoe journeys. The volume’s updated content expands its findings to new audiences. More than 70 photographs and other illustrations, many of which are new to this edition, give further insight into the unique legacy of these groups, moving beyond popular romanticized views of American Indians to portray their lived experiences.

Providing a foundation for outsiders to learn about the Olympic Peninsula tribes’ unique history with one another and their land, this volume demonstrates a crosstribal commitment to education, adaptation, and cultural preservation. Furthering these goals, this updated edition offers fresh understanding of Native peoples often seen from an outside perspective only.

The Olympic Peninsula Intertribal Cultural Advisory Committee, formed in 1992, consists of representatives of the Olympic Peninsula’s indigenous nations; it works to promote clear understanding about the member tribes. Jacilee Wray, a former anthropologist with the National Park Service at Olympic Peninsula, Washington, is editor of From the Hands of a Weaver: Olympic Peninsula Basketry through Time.

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 Caldwell’s 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 interacting—and not their autonomous communities to which the sodalities also belonged—that 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.

Californio Portraits Baja California’s Vanishing Culture

By Harry W. Crosby First published in 1981, Harry W. Crosby’s 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 peninsula’s occupation by the Spaniards in the seventeenth century to the present. Californio Portraits combines history and sociology to provide an in-depth view of a culture that has managed to survive dramatic changes.

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

Combining a revised and updated text with a new foreword, introduction, and updated bibliography, Californio Portraits offers the clearest and most detailed portrait possible of a fascinating, unique, and inaccessible people and culture.

Imagined Frontiers Contemporary America and Beyond

By Carl Abbott We live near the edge—whether 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 frontiers—the 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.

How a tiny community shaped Superfund policy and changed the course of U.S. environmental history

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 nation’s toxic waste dumps and other abandoned hazardous waste sites, than a little Montana town found itself topping the new program’s 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 world’s largest copper-mining operations had accumulated behind the dam.

Soon, Milltown became the site of Superfund’s 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 citizens—homeowners, university scientists, county health officials, grassroots environmentalists, business leaders, and thousands of engaged residents—brought 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 America’s 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 valley—and in doing so, shaped the history of Superfund and modern environmentalism.

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 region’s 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 region’s 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 Childers’s 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.

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 post’s affairs through the upheavals of the twentieth century, Cottam explores the growth of tourism, the development of Navajo weaving, the automobile’s advent, and the Hubbells’ relationship with the Fred Harvey Company. She also describes the Hubbell family’s role in providing Navajo and Hopi demonstrators for world’s 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 family’s 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 Hubbell’s daughter-in-law after the Great Depression and World War II fundamentally altered the trading post business, and concludes with the post’s 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 Reader’s Guide

By Richard W. Etulain This exhaustive bibliographical reference will be the first stop for anyone looking for Calamity Jane in print, film, or photograph—and 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 Jane’s 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 Calamity’s 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 know—or think we know—of 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 reader’s guide includes brief discussions of nearly every item’s 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 of Calamity Jane.

An alternative view of what happened to the Hollywood Western in the 1970s

Still in the Saddle The Hollywood Western, 1969–1980

By Andrew Patrick Nelson By the end of the 1960s, the Hollywood West of Tom Mix, Randolph Scott, and even John Wayne was passé—or 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 Western’s “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 Western’s 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?

By John Wooley $16.95 Paper 978-0-8061-4174-9

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 Heaven’s 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 genre’s 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 Western’s 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 editor of Contemporary Westerns: Film and Television since 1990.

As Far as the Eye Could Reach Accounts of Animals along the Santa Fe Trail, 1821–1880

By Phyllis S. Morgan Foreword by Marc Simmons Illustrated by Ronald Kil Travelers and traders taking the Santa Fe Trail’s 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 before—buffalo, 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 Trail’s 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 Trail’s 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 Oñate 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.

NEW BOOKS FALL 2015

Custer’s regiment serves as a case study for the health of the nineteenth-century U.S. Army

Health of the Seventh Cavalry A Medical History Edited by P. Willey and Douglas D. Scott With its charismatic leader George Custer and its memorable encounters with Plains Indians, including the Battle of the Little Bighorn, the Seventh Cavalry serves as the iconic regiment in the post–Civil War U.S Army. Voluminous written documentation as well as archaeological and osteological research suggest that the soldiers of the Seventh represented a cross section of the men who joined the army as a whole at the time. In Health of the Seventh Cavalry, editors P. Willey and Douglas D. Scott and their co-contributors—experts in history, medicine, human biology, epidemiology, and human osteology—examine the Seventh’s medical records to determine the health of the nineteenth-century U.S. Army, and the prevalence and treatment of the numerous conditions that plagued soldiers during the Indian Wars.

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 post–Civil War Seventh, and the entire U.S. Army, faced on the battlefield and elsewhere.

European Armies of the French Revolution, 1789–1802 Edited by Frederick C. Schneid Upon France’s 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 world’s history.” The pronouncement proved prescient, for this first major victory emboldened France’s revolutionary government to end the monarchy and establish the first French Republic—with dramatic consequences for the wars that soon roiled the continent.

In nine essays by leading scholars, European Armies of the French Revolution, 1789–1802 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. Schneid’s 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 Antonio—the “Texas Triangle”—during 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 música tejana, which has focused almost solely on musicians or musical genres. Villarreal instead chronicles women’s 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 University–Fullerton. Her articles on oral history and the formation of Texas Mexican identity have been published in Oral History Review and the Journal of Women’s History.

Tarahumara Medicine Ethnobotany and Healing among the Rarámuri of Mexico

By Fructuoso Irigoyen-Rascón With Alfonso Paredes The Tarahumara, one of North America’s oldest surviving aboriginal groups, call themselves Rarámuri, meaning “nimble feet”—and 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-Rascón is uniquely qualified as a guide to the Rarámuri’s approach to medicine and healing.

In developing their healing practices, the Tarahumaras interlaced religious lore, magic, and careful observations of nature. Irigoyen-Rascón thoroughly situates readers in the Rarámuri’s 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 practices—and the underlying concepts of health and disease—might mean to the Rarámuri and to the observer, Irigoyen-Rascón explores his subject from both an outsider and an insider (indigenous) perspective. For example, the Tarahumaras consider pregnancy a form of disease—a connection that, though odd to Westerners, makes sense within the Tarahumara worldview and vulnerability in a harsh mountainous environment.

Through his balanced approach, Irigoyen-Rascón brings to light relationships between the Rarámuri 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 seen—at once richly different from and inextricably connected with the ideas and practices of Western medicine.

Fructuoso Irigoyen-Rascón is a psychiatrist in McAllen, Texas. A former researcher at universities in Mexico and the United States, he has written extensively about Rarámuri ethnography and medical conditions. Alfonso Paredes is Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California–Los Angeles and author of more than 100 medical papers, including several on the Tarahumara.

By Hernando Ruiz de Alarcón $39.95s Paper 978-0-8061-2031-7

A Spaniard originally from Italy, the polymath Lorenzo Boturini Benaduci (1702– 1753), known as Boturini, traveled to New Spain in 1736. Becoming fascinated by the Mesoamerican cultures of the New World, he collected and copied native writings—and learned Nahuatl, the language in which most of these documents were written. Boturini’s incomparable collection—confiscated, neglected, and dispersed after the Spanish crown condemned his intellectual pursuits—became 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 Catálogo, Boturini’s annotated enumeration of the works he had gathered in New Spain.

Stafford Poole’s lucid and nuanced translation of the Idea and Catálogo allows Anglophone readers to fully appreciate Boturini’s unique accomplishment and his unparalleled and sympathetic knowledge of the native peoples of eighteenth-century Mexico. Poole’s introduction puts Boturini’s 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 Boturini’s 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 Catálogo, he points readers to transcriptions and translations of the original materials in Boturini’s 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 Catálogo also offer a rare perspective on the intellectual practices and prejudices of the Bourbon era—and on one of the most curious and singular minds of the time.

A Way Across the Mountain Joseph Walker’s 1833 Trans-Sierran Passage and the Myth of Yosemite’s 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 year’s 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 Walker’s 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 America’s 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 Yosemite’s 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 Walker’s 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 brigade’s 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 Walker’s greatest discovery—that 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, 1863–1866

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.

By Ray C. Colton $19.95 Paper 978-0-8061-1902-1

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 (1794–1884) 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 physician’s 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.

Willard’s 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, 1875–1945.

TATE THE GREAT MEDICINE ROAD, PART 2

Little-known firsthand accounts of overland journeys to the West during the gold rush

The Great Medicine Road, Part 2 Narratives of the Oregon, California, and Mormon Trails, 1849 Edited by Michael L. Tate 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 state’s 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 West—and 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, 1650–1815 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 cleansing—and 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, 1820–1875 and The Indian Southwest, 1580–1830: Ethnogenesis and Reinvention.

Maya Sculpture of Copán

The Iconography

By Claude-François Baudez

Edited by Valerie Sherer Mathes

JACKSON THE INDIAN REFORM LETTERS OF HELEN HUNT JACKSON, 1879–1885

BAUDEZ MAYA SCULPTURE OF COPÁN

A masterful survey of elaborate and intriguing carved images

Copán, 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 Copán: The Iconography, internationally known Mayanist Claude-François 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 Copán and the multiple functions of the king—his cosmic role, the continuous reference to his ancestors, and the dynastic cycles.

Sacrifice—bloodletting by the king and the sacrifice of captives—is 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-François Baudez was Director of Research at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Paris and director of the Proyecto Arqueológico Copán.

“A fire has been kindled within me, which will never go out”

Helen Hunt Jackson’s passionate crusade for Indian rights comes to life in this collection of more than 200 letters, most never published before. With Valerie Sherer Mathes’s helpful notes, the letters reveal the behind-the-scenes drama of Jackson’s involvement in Indian reform, which led her to write A Century of Dishonor and her protest novel, Ramona.

Ralph Waldo Emerson described Jackson as the “greatest American woman poet.” Among her correspondents were Oliver Wendell Holmes, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Henry L. Dawes, Henry Teller, Carl Schurz, and of course, commissioners of Indian affairs and prominent editors, such as Whitelaw Reid, Charles Dudley Warner, and Richard Watson Gilder.

Presented in sections on the Ponca and Mission Indian causes, these stirring letters will intrigue anyone interested in Indian affairs, nineteenth-century women’s studies, or the social history of Victorian America, where Jackson made her mark despite the restrictions on women.

Valerie Sherer Mathes is a faculty member in the Social Sciences 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 A Call for Reform: The Southern California Indian Writings of Helen Hunt Jackson.

When in the early 1870s historian Hubert Howe Bancroft sent interviewers out to gather oral histories from the pre-statehood gentry of California, he didn’t count on one thing: the women.

When the men weren’t available, the interviewers collected the stories of the women of the household—sometimes almost as an afterthought. These interviews were eventually archived at the University of California, though many were all but forgotten. Testimonios presents thirteen women’s firsthand accounts from the days when California was part of Spain and Mexico. Having lived through the gold rush and seen their country change so drastically, these women understood the need to tell the full story of the people and the places that were their California.

CRAWLEY CLIMAX AT GALLIPOLI

COSS ALL FOR THE KING’S SHILLING

Restoring the reputation of redcoats once labeled “scum of the earth”

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 duke’s own words— “scum of the earth”—and 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 duke’s derision. Driven into the army by unemployment in the wake of Britain’s industrial revolution, they confronted wartime hardship with ethical values and became formidable soldiers in the bargain.

These men depended on the king’s shilling for survival, yet pay was erratic and provisions were scant—they 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 Wellington’s rank and file through the lens of military psychology, All for the King’s Shilling transcends the Napoleonic battlefield to help explain the motivation and behavior of all soldiers under the stress of combat.

Edward J. Coss is Assistant Professor of Military History at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, Fort Belvoir, Virginia.

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 much—and 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 conclusions—a book that looks past myth and distortion to the facts, and the truth, of what happened at this critical juncture in twentieth-century history.

Napoleon in Italy

Three Days in the Shenandoah

The Sieges of Mantua, 1796–1799

By Phillip R. Cuccia Eighteenth-century political and social issues entwine in this deeply researched campaign study

Cuccia integrates political and social issues with a campaign study, bringing to light the words of those who experienced the sieges firsthand—soldiers, leaders, and citizens. Napoleon in Italy is not only the story of Mantua’s strategic importance.

Mantua symbolized Napoleon’s voracious determination to win and Austria’s desperation to retain its possessions.

By placing the sieges of Mantua in an eighteenth-century international context, Cuccia offers readers a broader understanding of siege warfare and of how the global impacts the local.

Phillip R. Cuccia is a colonel in the U.S. Army who has served for the past thirteen years as a European foreign-area officer.

He is currently assigned to Rome, Italy. He taught history at West Point and is the author of numerous articles on the Napoleonic era and the American Civil War.

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 Ecelbarger’s 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 sources—including soldiers’ accounts and officers’ reports—to 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 Lincoln’s 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.

The French and Indian War and the Conquest of New France

By William R. Nester

Edited by Wayne R. Kime

The only comprehensive account of the war from the French perspective

A firsthand account of Gen. George Crook’s expedition against the Sioux and Cheyennes

Lt. Col. Richard Irving Dodge’s journals, written with utter candor for his eyes only, are the fullest firsthand account we possess of Gen. George Crook’s Powder River Expedition against the Sioux and Cheyenne Indians, which culminated in Col. Ranald S. Mackenzie’s resounding destruction of Dull Knife’s forces on November 25, 1876. With his customary flair, editor Wayne R. Kime has transcribed the journals from Dodge’s pocket-size notebooks and has provided a pertinent introduction and well-crafted, thoroughly illuminating annotations.

Dodge’s 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 Dodge’s 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 Dodge’s Plains of North America and Their Inhabitants as well as four volumes of his journals.

The French and Indian War was the world’s 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 tactics—and determined North America’s destiny.

What began in 1754 with a French victory—the 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 France’s 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, 1775–1789: The Art of American Power during the Early Republic.

At daybreak on November 29, 1864, the Colorado Volunteers attacked Black Kettle’s sleeping camp. Upon learning of the disaster—now known as the Sand Creek Massacre— Wynkoop spoke out vehemently against the action. Kraft reveals Wynkoop’s 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.

KRAFT NED WYNKOOP AND THE LONELY ROAD FROM SAND CREEK

Beginning with his marriage into a once-prominent New Mexican family, we see Miera transformed into the quintessential Hispanic New Mexican. Traveling to every corner of the colony, Miera gathered geographical, social, and political data, along with invaluable information about the Southwest’s indigenous peoples, while Miera the artist carved and painted statues and panels of the saints for the colony’s altar screens. With Juan Bautista de Anza’s arrival, Miera became a trusted member of the governor’s inner circle, advising him on civil, military, and Indian affairs.

When Edward W. Wynkoop arrived in Colorado Territory during the 1858 gold rush, he was seeking wealth in a promising land. He worked as a miner, sheriff, bartender, and land speculator, but his life changed when he joined the First Colorado Volunteers to fight for the Union in the Civil War. Louis Kraft’s engaging narrative focuses on Wynkoop’s efforts to prevent war with American Indians during the volatile 1860s.

KESSELL MIERA Y PACHECO

Remembered today as an early cartographer and prolific religious artist, don Bernardo de Miera y Pacheco (1713–1785) was also an engineer and militia captain on Indian campaigns, district officer, merchant, debt collector, metallurgist, luckless silver miner, presidial soldier, dam builder, and rancher. In this richly illustrated biography John L. Kessell recounts Miera’s life from his birth in Cantabria, Spain, to his sudden and unexplained appearance at Janos, Chihuahua,and his death in Santa Fe at age seventy-one.

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 Aravaipa’s 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.

“In the chief’s 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 interviews—many printed here for the first time—are 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 and Mangas Coloradas: Chief of the Chiricahua Apaches.

The Red River in Southwestern History

The Steamboat Bertrand and Missouri River Commerce

By Carl Newton Tyson

By Ronald R. Switzer

Traces the river’s history from the time of early Spanish and French explorers

In 1852 Randolph Marcy discovered the source of the Red River—a mountain rivulet cutting a deep canyon through the Staked Plains. Marcy’s testimony in the Greer County border dispute between Oklahoma and Texas was key to the U.S. Supreme Court decision favoring Oklahoma. In the decades between 1930 and 1970, dams were built along the Red by the U.S. Corps of Engineers to control floods, generate electricity, and create lakes for recreation along the Oklahoma-Texas border.

Carl Newton Tyson, whose special field of interest is western American history, received his Ph.D. from Oklahoma State University. He is CEO at Thinkwell in Austin, Texas, and coauthor of The McMan: The Lives of Robert M. McFarlin and James A. Chapman.

The Bertrand and its contents offer a time capsule of midnineteenth-century America, rich with the history of industry, technology, and commerce in the Trans-Missouri West. Ronald R. Switzer also introduces the people associated with the ship—illuminating the private and social lives of the officers, crew members, and passengers, and the consignees receiving the cargo. He offers insight into the careers of some of the entrepreneurs and political movers and shakers of the Upper Missouri in the 1860s. This unique reference for historians of commerce in the American West will also fascinate anyone interested in the technology and history of river transport.

Ronald R. Switzer is retired as a park superintendent with the National Park Service. He is the author of numerous articles and special reports on archaeology in the American West, particularly the Southwest.

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-Onís Treaty, negotiated by Spanish minister Luis de Onís 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.

VESTAL NEW SOURCES OF INDIAN HISTORY, 1850–1891

The Ghost Dance and the Prairie Sioux A Miscellany

By Stanley Vestal

Portrays the first trader to feature and promote American Indian arts and artists

Reveals the fabric of Sioux life, warfare, and 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 Diné: 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 personalities—from 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 Vestal’s 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 University of Oklahoma, he wrote many distinguished books on American Indians and the West, including Sitting Bull, Champion of the Sioux.

Involved in early archaeological work in the Southwest, Keam was the first trader to develop lucrative contacts with museum curators and anthropologists. He sold enormous collections to the Smithsonian Institution, the Field Museum, and the Peabody Museum, as well as several European institutions.

An advocate for the Indians, Keam represented the Hopis and Navajos in confrontations with the U.S. government over “civilizing” programs between 1869 and 1902, when the Indians tried to maintain their political and cultural independence.

Thomas Varker Keam revised Indian trading so that he and American Indian artists profited.

Progressive Oklahoma

The Formation of the State of Oklahoma

The Making of a New Kind of State

By Danney Goble

1803–1906

By Roy Gittinger

Traces Oklahoma’s rapid evolution from pioneer territory to statehood

Goble is keenly aware that the Oklahoma experience was closely related to broader changes that shaped the nation at the turn of the century. Progressive Oklahoma examines the elemental changes that transformed Indian Territory into a new kind of state, and its inhabitants into Oklahomans—and modern Americans.

Danney Goble (1946–2007) was Professor of Letters at the University of Oklahoma and the award-winning author or coauthor of eight books about Oklahoma and Oklahomans.

JULY $19.95s PAPER 978-0-8061-4861-8 294 PAGES, 5.5 × 8.5 25 B&W ILLUS., 3 MAPS U.S. HISTORY

The territory became the home of the Five “Civilized” Tribes— Cherokee, Chickasaw, Creek, Choctaw, and Seminole—in the years following the Indian Removal Act of 1830. Through treaties and Indian removals later in the century, lands were reserved to Plains Indian tribes—the 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.

Over half a century, Roy Gittinger served as Professor of English History and filled nearly every important administrative post at the University of Oklahoma. In honor of his service, Gittinger was chosen as the first Regents Professor.

OU’s Gittinger Hall was completed in 1952.

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 Gittinger’s 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 Oklahoma’s 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 values—the notion that an expanding marketplace and unfettered individualism would properly regulate progress.

Captures the excitement and stark hardships of Western exploration

Trailblazer, geographer, soldier, American Indian authority, and author

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 three—the Missouri, the Mississippi, and the Scientific Expeditions. The Missouri Expedition, described in this volume, was the first venture to implement Calhoun’s 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.

Acclaimed in his own time, Captain Randolph B. Marcy— trailblazer, geographer, fighter in the Mexican War, American Indian authority, and author—traveled as extensively as any other nineteenth-century explorer. Yet Marcy has not achieved the fame of Lewis and Clark, Pike, Long, or Frémont, although he was the first to trace the Red River, in 1852.

Beyond the Cross Timbers: The Travels of Randolph B. Marcy brings Marcy’s adventures to light, tracing his fifty years of army service and his epic journeys of exploration. W. Eugene Hollon utilized Marcy’s books, official Washington files, and the unpublished personal correspondence of the Marcy and McClellan families to present a graphic picture of nineteenthcentury army life at lonely frontier posts and the trials faced by the band of intrepid wives who followed their soldier husbands into the wilderness. Hollon also includes the story of the wooing and winning of daughter Mary Ellen Marcy by young Lieutenant George B. McClellan, who was to become his fatherin-law’s commanding officer during the Civil War and Lincoln’s opponent in the 1864 election.

W. Eugene Hollon was Professor of History at the University of Oklahoma and later Ohio Regents Professor of History at the University of Toledo. His numerous books on the American West include The Lost Pathfinder: Zebulon Montgomery Pike.

Rawhide Texas

Santa Cruz Island

By Wayne Gard

A History of Conflict and Diversity

By John Gherini Foreword by Doyce B. Nunis Introduction by Marla Daily

The story of a heroic battle to conquer challenging conditions as America’s frontier pushed westward

The first thorough history of Santa Cruz Island’s tumultuous past

All Texans shared in the hard life of the frontier. Picture, if you will, a circuit-riding preacher swimming his horse across swollen streams to conduct a camp meeting. A doctor as he rides fifty miles or more through rough country to set a broken bone or deliver a baby, or a schoolteacher risking her life to protect her pupils during an Indian raid. Or a newspaper editor, shot in the back for telling the painful truth.

These—any many more—were the people who built Texas.

Wayne Gard portrays them in informal sketches of pioneer life on the Texas frontier, illuminating the still-emerging Texas character.

What makes a Texan tick? You’ll find part of the answer in Rawhide Texas.

Wayne Gard (1899–1986) was a longtime editorial writer for the Dallas Morning News and President of the Texas State Historical Association. He was the author of seven volumes of Texana and southwestern history, including Frontier Justice and The Chisholm Trail, both published by the University of Oklahoma Press.

In pre-Columbian times Santa Cruz Island was a source of wealth to the indigenous peoples—the place where they made their shell bead money. During the Spanish-Mexican period it was a smuggler’s 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 Caire’s 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.

Doyce B. Nunis, Jr. (1924–2011), was Professor of History at the University of Southern California and editor of Southern California Quarterly. Marla Daily is the President of the Santa Cruz Island Foundation.

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 lariats—for 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.

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.

ALLBRIGHT, BERLO, WHITE A WORLD UNCONQUERED

Offers the first critical analysis of Jacobson’s 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 (1882–1966) 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 Sandzén, 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 1925–26. 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.

Traces the spread of Abstract Expressionism from the East and West Coasts

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.

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 Houser’s 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 Houser’s birth and a national celebration of the artist’s legacy.

The Art Museum of the Americas and Cold War Politics Edited by Claire F. Fox

Edited by heather ahtone and Mark T. Bahti Examines six katsina figure types as depicted across 170 objects

AHTONE, BAHTI HOPITUY

FOX LIBERTAD DE EXPRESIÓN

Features the work of more than 60 artists

Libertad de Expresión 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, José Gómez Sicre’s 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 Gómez Sicre’s exhibition and collection policies. Published in conjunction with the eponymous exhibition, the publication features the work of more than 60 artists, including Joaquín Torres-García, Roberto Matta, and Jesús Rafael Soto.

Claire F. Fox is a professor in the departments of English, Spanish, and Portuguese and co-director of the Latina/o Studies program at the University of Iowa. She is also author of Making Art Panamerican: Cultural Policy and the Cold War .

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 people’s earthly existence. The physical representations of the katsinam have become an integral part of the Southwest’s 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 FJJMA’s 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. Adkins Collection, which is jointly stewarded with the Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa. heather ahtone is the James T. Bialac Assistant Curator of Native American and Non-Western Art at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art. Mark T. Bahti is the owner of Bahti Indian Arts in Tucson.
