The long-awaited findings from the scientific study of one of the most complete ancient human skeletons ever found in North America . . .

Kennewick Man

The Scientific Investigation of an Ancient American Skeleton

Edited by Douglas W. Owsley and Richard L. Jantz Almost from the day of its accidental discovery along the banks of the Columbia River in Washington State in July 1996, the ancient skeleton of Kennewick Man has garnered significant attention from scientific and Native American communities as well as public media outlets. This volume represents a collaboration among physical and forensic anthropologists, archaeologists, geologists, and geochemists, among others, and presents the results of the scientific study of this remarkable find. Scholars address a range of topics, from basic aspects of osteological analysis to advanced ​ research focused on Kennewick Man’s origins and his relationships to other populations. Interdisciplinary studies, comprehensive data collection and preservation, and applications of technology are all critical to telling Kennewick Man’s story.

Kennewick Man: The Scientific Investigation of an Ancient American Skeleton is written for a discerning professional audience, yet the absorbing story of the remains, their discovery, their curation history, and the extensive amount of detail that skilled scientists have been able to glean from them will appeal to interested and informed general readers. These bones lay silent for nearly nine thousand years, but now, with the aid of dedicated researchers, they can speak about the life of one of the earliest human occupants of North America.

La Belle, the Ship That Changed History Edited by James E. Bruseth

After two decades of searching for La Salle’s lost ship La Belle, Texas Historical Commission (THC) divers in 1995 located a shipwreck containing historic artifacts of European origin in the silty bottom of Matagorda Bay, off the coast of Texas.

The first cannon lifted from the waters bore late seventeenthcentury French insignias. The ill-fated La Belle had been found.

Under the direction of then-THC Archeology Division Director James Bruseth, the THC conducted a full excavation of the water-logged La Belle. The conservation was subsequently completed at Texas A&M University’s Conservation Research Laboratory, resulting in preservation of more than one million artifacts from the wreck.

An official naval vessel granted to La Salle by the king of France in 1684, La Belle is still considered a sovereign naval vessel belonging to the French government under international maritime law. A formal agreement negotiated by the French Republic, the Musée national de la Marine, the US Department of State, and the THC allows the ship and artifacts to remain in Texas permanently and to be housed in an exhibit at the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin, opening October 2014. This richly illustrated catalog will accompany the exhibit.

The Ship That Held Up Wall Street The Ronson Ship Wreck

Warren C. Riess with Sheli O. Smith In January 1982, archaeologists conducting a pre-construction excavation at 175 Water Street in Lower Manhattan found the remains of an eighteenth-century ship.

Uncertain of what they had found or what its value might be, they called in two nautical archaeologists—Warren Riess and Sheli Smith—to direct the excavation and analysis of the ship’s remains. As it turned out, the mystery ship’s age and type meant that its careful study would help answer some important questions about the commerce and transportation of an earlier era of American history.

The Ship that Held Up Wall Street: The Ronson Shipwreck tells the whole story of the discovery, excavation, and study of what came to be called the “Ronson ship site,” named for the site’s developer, Howard Ronson. Entombed for more than two hundred years, the Princess Carolina proved to be the first major discovery of a colonial merchant ship.

Years of arduous analytical work have led to critical breakthroughs revealing how the ship was designed and constructed, its probable identity as a vessel built in Charleston, South Carolina, its history as a merchant ship, and why and how it came to be buried in Manhattan.

“One can make bad wine out of good grapes, but one cannot make good wine out of bad grapes.”

Growing Grapes in Texas

From the Commercial Vineyard to the Backyard Vine Jim Kamas

In this complete and approachable manual on grape growing in Texas, Jim Kamas asks the essential question all potential growers need to answer: Why do you want to plant a vineyard?

Outlining the challenges and risks to all who think viticulture is a weekend hobby, Kamas then identifies the state’s current grape growing regions and covers everything the commercial or home producer needs to know in order to have a successful vineyard.

Well-illustrated text offers chapters on site choice and design, rootstock and fruiting varieties, pruning and training strategies, canopy and floor management, and disease and pest control.

Kamas thoroughly explores grapevine horticulture, including the systematics, morphology, nutrition, and water needs of the genus Vitus. Finally, he addresses the issues of equipment and infrastructure before closing with some advice about vineyard-winery relations.

Kamas was trained as a student in the grape growing country of western New York by some of the “best viticultural minds” in the US, and grape and wine lovers from all parts of the country will find this book a valuable resource.

Coming to terms with the “new nature� . . . without losing hope . . .

Facing It

Epiphany and Apocalypse in the New Nature M. Jimmie Killingsworth

Blending memoir, cultural history, and a literary perspective, Facing It bears witness to controversies like Tellico and Chernobyl, global warming and local drought. But rather than merely drowning readers in waves of ecological angst, M. Jimmie Killingsworth seeks alternative images and episodes to invoke presence without crippling the hope for survival and sustenance in places and communities of value.

In deft, highly accessible prose, Killingsworth takes the reader through a Cold-War childhood, an adolescence colored by anti-war and ecological activism, and an adulthood darkened by terrorism and climate change. Inviting us on walks through tame suburbias (riddled with environmental abuse) and wild deserts and mountains (shadowed by industrial development), he celebrates the survival of natural beauty and people living close to the earth while questioning truisms associated with both economic advancement and environmental purity.

Above all, this book invites the reader to face it: to look with wideopen eyes on a new nature that will never be the same, but that continues to offer opportunities for renewal and advancement of life.

Nature, Agribusiness, and Workers on the California Borderland, 1900–1940

Entrepreneurs in the Texas-Mexico Borderlands, 1880–1940

Benny J. Andrés Jr.

Alicia M. Dewey

The commercial world of South Texas between 1880 and 1940 provided an attractive environment for many seeking to start new businesses, especially businesses that linked the markets and finances of the United States and Mexico. Entrepreneurs regularly crossed the physical border in pursuit of business.

But more important, more complex, and less well-known were the linguistic, cultural, and ethnic borders they navigated daily as they interacted with customers, creditors, business partners, and employees.

Drawing on her expertise as a bankruptcy lawyer, historian Alicia M. Dewey tells the story of how a diverse group of entrepreneurs, including Anglo-Americans, ethnic Mexicans, and European and Middle Eastern immigrants, created and navigated changing business opportunities along the Texas-Mexico border between 1880 and 1940.

Power and Control in the Imperial Valley examines the evolution of irrigated farming in the ImperialMexicali Valley, an arid desert straddling the California–Baja California border. Bisected by the international boundary line, the valley drew American investors determined to harness the nearby Colorado River to irrigate a million acres on both sides of the border. The “conquest” of the environment was a central theme in the history of the valley.

Colonization in the valley began with the construction of a sixty-mile aqueduct from the Colorado River in California through Mexico.

Initially, Mexico held authority over water delivery until settlers persuaded Congress to construct the All-American Canal. Control over land and water formed the basis of commercial agriculture and in turn enabled growers to use the state to procure inexpensive, plentiful immigrant workers.

Electric City: General Electric in Schenectady explores the history of General Electric in Schenectady from the company’s creation in 1892 to the present. As one of America’s largest and most successful corporations, GE built a culture centered around the social good of technology and the virtues of the people who produced it.

At its core, GE culture posited that engineers, scientists, and craftsmen engaged in a team effort to produce technologically advanced material goods that served society and led to corporate profits. Scientists were discoverers, engineers were designers and problem solvers, and craftsmen were artists.

Historian Julia Kirk Blackwelder has drawn on company records as well as other archival and secondary sources and personal interviews to produce an engaging and multi-layered history of General Electric’s workplace culture and its planned (and actual) effects on community life. Her research demonstrates how business and community histories intersect, and this nuanced look at race, gender, and class sets a standard for corporate history.

“The production of every single barrel of exportable oil, wherever it may be in the World, is a matter of definite concern to us as Americans.”—Everette Lee DeGolyer, in a confidential address given to the Brookings Institution, April 19, 1943

Oilfield Revolutionary The Career of Everette Lee DeGolyer Houston Faust Mount II

Everette Lee DeGolyer wore many hats—and he wore them with distinction. Though not a geophysicist, he helped make geophysics central to oil exploration. Though not a politician, he played an important role in the national politics of energy. Though trained as a geologist, he became an important business executive. DeGolyer left his stamp on oil exploration and his name on a number of philanthropic institutions, including the DeGolyer Library at Southern Methodist University.

This account of DeGolyer’s life, at once readable and yet authoritative, covers the period from his training with the United States Geological Survey in the American West, to his geological exploration of Mexico during the Revolution of the 1910s, his pioneering investment in geophysical prospecting technologies, and his work on behalf of the United States government in World War II, including a ground-breaking secret mission to the Middle East.

Houston Mount develops his account of the career of Everette Lee DeGolyer in a way that provides a useful lens through which to examine the rising fortunes of earth scientists in the oil industry and in government—a process for which DeGolyer’s spectacular career was both an exemplar and a catalyst.

Liliana Wilson's Art of Dissidence and Dreams Edited by Norma E. Cantú

Ofre`nda

LILIANA WILSON’S art of dissidence and dreams

Liliana Wilson’s art of resistance and protest, dissidence and dreams, consistently calls attention to injustice.

Wilson belongs to a group of Chilean artists who were intimately shaped by the political turmoil and repression in Chile in the 1970s and 1980s and who have become self-exiled artists working outside of Chile but who are still tied to the political period and to its issues and concerns.

From a working class family that struggled financially, Wilson nonetheless was able to study law, which facilitated her successful immigration to the United States in 1977. She moved to Texas and in Austin found a cultural oasis that permitted her art to blossom.

Now, after some thirty years of artistic work in Texas, she is recognized as a major Latina artist, whose influence extends beyond US borders. A crusader for justice and against oppression, she paints and draws in various media and has become an inspiration for younger artists concerned with not only political repression and inequality but also individual fear and despair.

Ofrenda: Liliana Wilson’s Art of Dissidence and Dreams highlights some of Wilson’s most representative works, accompanied by biographical background and scholarly interpretation.

Number Seventeen: Joe and Betty Moore Texas Art Series

LILIANA WILSON was born in Valparaíso, Chile. She earned a law degree in Chile and studied art at Southwest Texas State University (now Texas State University).

Capturing Nature

The Cement Sculpture of Dionicio Rodríguez Patsy Pittman Light

". . . a graphically gorgeous, fascinating work that both profiles Rodríguez and documents the remarkable breadth of his work, which reached across the United States from 1924 through the early 1950s. . . . Light places Rodríguez's work firmly in artistic, cultural, and historical context, providing an excellent introductory overview of the development of trabajo rustico or faux bois work in Europe, Mexico, and among other artists in the United States, and his contemporaries, such as Rivera, Orozco, and others. . . .

Even the most casual reading of Capturing Nature cannot fail to impress anyone with Rodríguez's prodigious ability and focused creative energy."—San Antonio Express-News “The book is ultimately a catalog of the work of Dionicio Rodríguez, beautifully illustrated in a way that gives the reader a feel for his sculptural legacy. A new appreciation will follow from perusing this book, and from visiting Rodríguez sculptures with fresh senses.”—Arkansas Democrat Gazette “Ms. Light thoroughly conveys the charms of the art and the artist, noting that his sense of humor clearly showed through pieces such as the conch shell entrance wall at the Eddingston Court apartments in Port Arthur and the fountain embellished with human faces at Memorial Park Cemetery in Memphis.”

The Galveston That Was

Howard Barnstone Photography by Henri Cartier-Bresson and Ezra Stoller Afterword by Peter Brink “Of all the books about Galveston, one of the best continues to be architect Howard Barnstone’s The Galveston That Was, published many years ago. This poignant and vivid record of the great mansions and public buildings of the historic island city by the late Houston architect is credited as being a catalyst in the preservation and restoration movement in Galveston.”—Houston Chronicle “This beautiful picture book about nineteenth-century Galveston architecture is also a book about how Galveston’s historic buildings were saved.”—Historic Preservation “The compelling power of The Galveston That Was comes from both Barnstone’s text and the photographs by Cartier-Bresson and Stoller. . . . The Galveston That Was probes the present on the same level as the past. It disquiets and unsettles us, asking us to establish ourselves, wherever we are, by building what we care about and caring about what we build.”—Bloomsbury Review Number Five: Sara and John Lindsey Series in the Arts and Humanities

HOWARD BARNSTONE was a visiting critic at Yale University’s School of Architecture and a professor in the College of Architecture at the University of Houston.

Houston’s Forgotten Heritage Landscape, Houses, Interiors, 1824–1914

Dorothy Knox Howe Houghton, Barrie M. Scardino Bradley, Sadie Gwin Blackburn, and Katherine S. Howe This ambitious book tells a richly detailed story of Houston home life and culture from the settlement of Harrisburg and Houston in the 1820s and 1830s to World War I, when rapid economic development and modernization began to spell demolition for many notable nineteenth-century houses and public buildings.

The authors discuss landscape and horticulture, the development of domestic architecture, the evolution of home interiors, and domestic life, and its influence on the social and cultural fabric of the city.

“Houston’s Forgotten Heritage stands out because of its integration of architecture, landscape, social history, and interior design, along with the authors’ ability to place Houston within the broader context of American history.”—Texas Architect “ . . . a solidly researched, enlightening work.”—Houston Chronicle Number Two: Sara and John Lindsey Series in the Arts and Humanities

The complete story of the Battle of the Tenaru, as told by both sides. . .

Victory Fever on Guadalcanal Japan's First Land Defeat of World War II William H. Bartsch

Following their rampage through Southeast Asia and the Pacific in the five months after Pearl Harbor, Japanese forces moved into the Solomon Islands, intending to cut off the critical American supply line to Australia. But when they began to construct an airfield on Guadalcanal in July 1942, the Americans captured the almost completed airfield for their own strategic use.

The Japanese Army countered by sending to Guadalcanal a reinforced battalion under the command of Col. Kiyonao Ichiki. The attack that followed would prove to be the first of four attempts by the Japanese over six months to retake the airfield, resulting in some of the most vicious fighting of the Pacific War. During one such battle on the night of August 20–21, 1942, Marines wiped out Ichiki’s men, who—imbued with “victory fever”—had expected a quick and easy victory.

William H. Bartsch draws on correspondence, interviews, diaries, memoirs, and official war records, including those translated from Japanese sources, to offer an intensely human narrative of the failed attempt to recapture Guadalcanal’s vital airfield.

Every Citizen a Soldier The Campaign for Universal Military Training after World War II

William A. Taylor

New in paperback Beginning in 1943, US Army leaders such as John M. Palmer, Walter L. Weible, George C. Marshall, and John J. McCloy mounted a sustained and vigorous campaign to establish a system of universal military training (UMT) in America. Fearful of repeating the rapid demobilization and severe budget cuts that had accompanied peace following World War I, these leaders saw UMT as the basis for their postwar plans. As a result, they promoted UMT extensively and aggressively.

In Every Citizen a Soldier: The Campaign for Universal Military Training after World War II, William A. Taylor illustrates how army leaders failed to adapt their strategy to the political realities of the day and underscores the delicate balance in American democracy between civilian and military control of strategy. This story is vital because of the ultimate outcome of the failure of the UMT initiative: the birth of the Cold War draft.

Art from the Trenches

America's Uniformed Artists in World War I Alfred Emile Cornebise

Since ancient times, wars have inspired artists and their patrons to commemorate victories. When the United States finally entered World War I, American artists and illustrators were commissioned to paint and draw it. These artists’ commissions, however, were as captains for their patron: the US Army.

The eight men—William J. Aylward, Walter J. Duncan, Harvey T. Dunn, George M. Harding, Wallace Morgan, Ernest C. Peixotto, J. Andre Smith, and Harry E. Townsent—arrived in France early in 1918 with the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF).

Alfred Emile Cornebise presents here the first comprehensive account of the US Army art program in World War I. The AEF artists saw their role as one of preserving images of the entire aspect of American involvement in a way that photography could not.

Reframing the Matamoros Campaign of the US-Mexican War . . .

Two Armies on the Rio Grande

The First Campaign of the US-Mexican War Douglas Murphy

The opening campaign of the US-Mexican War transformed the map of each nation and shaped the course of conflict.

Armed with a broad range of Mexican military documents and previously unknown US sources, Douglas Murphy provides the first balanced view of early battles such as Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma. He reassesses previously covered territory and also poses new questions.

Courtesy of Library of Congress

Why did Mexico establish its defenses south of the Rio Grande while claiming territory north of the river? What was Mexico’s strategy in the campaign against the United States? What factors most affected Mexico’s defeat?

In confronting these questions, Murphy shows that the campaign was a complex chess match with undercurrents of political intrigue, economic motivations, and personal animosities as much as military action. Two Armies on the Rio Grande will transform our understanding of the US-Mexican War. Number 148: Williams-Ford Texas A&M University Military History Series

Linking the federal to the local . . .

LBJ and Grassroots Federalism Congressman Bob Poage, Race, and Change in Texas Robert Harold Duke

LBJ and Grassroots Federalism: Congressman Bob Poage, Race, and Change in Texas reveals the local ramifications of federal policy.

Three case studies in the rising career of Lyndon B. Johnson show this in action: LBJ's formative experience as a New Dealer directing the National Youth Administration (NYA) in Texas; his key role as senate majority leader in breaking the deadlock to secure funds for the Lake Waco dam project; and the cumulative effect of his Great Society policies on urban renewal and educational reform among the Mexican American community in Waco.

In each of these initiatives, Bob Poage—though far more politically conservative than Johnson—served as a conduit between LBJ and citizen activists in Poage’s congressional district, affirming the significance of grassroots engagement even during an era usually associated with centralization.

Robert Harold Duke's careful analysis in LBJ and Grassroots Federalism also offers a unique insight into a transformational period when the federal government broke down barriers and opened doors to the engagement of African Americans and Mexican Americans in community planning processes and social policy.

Our Fighting Governor

The Life of Thomas M. Campbell and the Politics of Progressive Reform in Texas Janet Schmelzer

At the apex of progressive reform in Texas from 1907 to 1911, Thomas M. Campbell served as the state’s chief executive. Closely associated with former Texas Governor James Stephen Hogg, Campbell played a central role in reviving the Hogg reform movement and building a strong record of progressive laws in areas such as social welfare, public education, and tax reform.

In the broader context of southern progressivism, Campbell was a leading progressive governor much like Hoke Smith of Georgia, Benjamin Comer of Alabama, Charles B. Aycock of North Carolina, and Andrew Jackson Montague of Virginia.

This full biography of Campbell’s life and political career shines a light on his contributions and successes as well as his failures and shortcomings.

In Our Fighting Governor, Janet Schmelzer explores Campbell’s life, political career, and legacy. At the same time, she provides new insight into the inner workings of the Texas Democratic Party at the turn of the twentieth century. She uncovers Campbell’s political philosophy and the importance of his leadership that guided the agenda for progressive reform, resulted in the passage of reform legislation, and marked him as a southern progressive governor.

Winner, 2008 Kemper Williams Prize for best book in Louisiana History

Colonial Natchitoches

A Creole Community on the Louisiana-Texas Frontier H. Sophie Burton and F. Todd Smith In The Howling of the Coyotes: Reconstruction Efforts to Divide Texas, Ernest Wallace was among the first to chronicle attempts by radical reconstructionists to divide the state, a move their critics derisively referred to as the "howling of the coyotes." He traces the interplay of the division issue with partisan politics and with other controversies in the reconstruction convention.

“This wonderful new micro history of colonial Natchitoches builds on earlier studies to . . . give us a snapshot of life on the Louisiana frontier, one solidly based on archival research, which greatly enhances our understanding of an important chapter in Louisiana history. This is social history at its best and deserving of a place on reading lists in Louisiana history courses.”—Louisiana History

This classic work will be a primary source for historians who have revisited this topic.

“Their meticulous analysis of the social and economic components of a frontier settlement through nearly a century lays bare the fabric of its development.”—The Advocate

Refining the definition of Clovis . . .

Clovis

On the Edge of a New Understanding

Edited by Ashley M. Smallwood and Thomas A. Jennings New research and the discovery of multiple archaeological sites predating the established age of Clovis (13,000 years ago) provide evidence that the Americas were first colonized at least one thousand to two thousand years before Clovis. These revelations indicate to researchers that the peopling of the Americas was perhaps a more complex process than previously thought.

The Clovis culture remains the benchmark for chronological, technological, and adaptive comparisons in research on peopling of the Americas.

In Clovis: On the Edge of a New Understanding, volume editors Ashley Smallwood and Thomas Jennings bring together the work of many researchers actively studying the Clovis complex. The contributing authors presented earlier versions of these chapters at the Clovis: Current Perspectives on Chronology, Technology, and Adaptations symposium held at the 2011 Society for American Archaeology meetings in Sacramento, California.

In seventeen chapters, the researchers provide their current perspectives of the Clovis archaeological record as they address the question: What is and what is not Clovis?

Paleoamerican Odyssey

Edited by Kelly E. Graf, Caroline V. Ketron, and Michael R. Waters As research continues on the earliest migration of modern humans into North and South America, the current state of knowledge about these first Americans is continually evolving.

Especially with recent advances in human genomic studies, both of living populations and ancient skeletal remains, new light is being shed in the ongoing quest toward understanding the full complexity and timing of prehistoric migration patterns.

Paleoamerican Odyssey collects thirty-one studies presented at the 2013 conference by the same name, hosted in Santa Fe, New Mexico, by the Center for the Study of the First Americans at Texas A&M University.

Providing an up-to-date view of the current state of knowledge in paleoamerican studies, the research gathered in this volume, presented by leaders in the field, focuses especially on late Pleistocene Northeast Asia, Beringia, and North and South America, as well as dispersal routes, molecular genetics, and Clovis and pre-Clovis archaeology.

What lies at the core of being a sister or having a brother?

Brothers and Sisters

Archetype and Reality

Henry Abramovitch Foreword by David H. Rosen

Now available in a new Texas A&M University Press edition . . .

War

A Primer for Christians Joseph L. Allen

Growing up, we typically spend more time with our brothers and sisters than we do with our parents.

In an age of divorce, mobility, and alienation, the sibling bond is often the only one that really lasts.

War: A Primer for Christians provides a concise introduction to the main approaches that Christians have taken toward war and examines each approach critically.

Given that brothers and sisters are such a fundamental aspect of human existence, it is remarkable that they have received so little in-depth attention in the field of psychology.

Some Christians have supported their country's wars as crusades of good against evil. Others, as pacifists, have rejected participation in or support for any war. Still others have followed the just-war tradition in holding that it can be justifiable under some conditions to resort to war, but that then Christian love must limit the conduct of war.

Henry Abramovitch’s Brothers and Sisters explores the tension between the myth and reality of brothers and sisters in a variety of cultures and through the poignant brother-sister stories in the Bible. Abramovitch looks at the developmental sequence in the sibling relationship as brothers or sisters struggle to find their place with each other, concluding with a very personal account of his own relationship with his brother and sister.

In an updated preface and new afterword, Allen explores aspects of current international relations that have a special bearing on the context of war.

“Joseph Allen’s War: A Primer for Christians is just that: a succinct, fair-minded, wonderfully reasoned, and accessible account of the major Christian traditions on war—Just War, Holy War, and the Pacifist renunciation of violence. His book is also a primer in the further sense, that it will prime the pump for further discussion and debate as to when wars are just and how a nation might keep the means employed under restraints.”—William F. May JOSEPH L. ALLEN is professor emeritus of Christian ethics at Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University.

On History's Trail

Speeches and Essays by the Texas State Historian, 2009–2012 Light Townsend Cummins Foreword by Larry McNeill

On History’s Trail: Speeches and Essays of the Texas State Historian, 2009–2012 contains twenty-nine speeches and essays from Light Townsend Cummins’s time as the State Historian of Texas, when he spoke to dozens of groups across the Lone Star State and beyond.

The subjects include the settlement of Canary Islanders in Texas and Louisiana, the Red River War, Dallas sculptress Allie V. Tennant, the “hometown” of Audie Murphy, and much more. While wide-ranging in time and place, this collection emphasizes the importance of biography and the individual in Texas history, never losing the warmth and humanity that is Cummins’s hallmark.

The most important point of On History’s Trail, though, is the most valuable lesson Cummins learned while State Historian: The history of Texas is alive and well today. There are more people reading and researching the history of the state than ever before.

The range of topics in this volume shows the viability, breadth, and range of the state’s remarkable history.

Red Water, Black Gold

The Canadian River in Western Texas, 1920–1999 Margaret A. Bickers

Red Water, Black Gold: The Canadian River in Texas 1920–1999 tells the story of the Canadian River in the Texas Panhandle. It is a tale of grand designs, high hopes, deep holes, politics, fishing, follies, foibles, and environmental change.

Although efforts had been made to tap the Canadian River’s waters before 1920, the discovery of oil in the Panhandle gave new urgency to the search for permanent water supplies.

Additionally, the spread of groundwater irrigation amid the discovery of the limits of Ogallala Aquifer spurred regional interests to tap the Canadian. But overestimates of the river’s flow and unfamiliarity with the critical role groundwater played in maintaining that flow led to complications and frustrations, culminating in a lawsuit over the location of the banks of a seemingly waterless river.

This book is a valuable addition to the water history of Texas and the American West and to the growing body of worldwide regional water histories. Combining traditional historical sources with hydrology, climatology, and geology, Red Water, Black Gold complicates the traditional story of top-down water management as well as telling the thus-far untold story of the Canadian River in Texas.

MARGARET A. BICKERS, an independent historian from Amarillo, holds a PhD in history from Kansas State University and is a winner of the Excellence in West Texas History Fellowship. In Red Water, Black Gold she combined her expertise in western and environmental history with a personal depth of knowledge gained from growing up in the Canadian River watershed and the ten years she spent flying over the region as a pilot.

Deep in the Art of Texas A Century of Paintings and Drawings Edited by Michael W. Duty

J. P. Bryan, whose monumental collection of Texas art is the source of this traveling exhibition, determined that he would collect only those artists who had actually participated in the settlement of Texas—not artists who imagined the events after they were history.

Thus, as editor Michael Duty observes, Deep in the Art of Texas constitutes not just a tour of Texas artists, but a virtual tour of the romantic history and vast geography of the state itself.

Recognition that art is an essential part of Texas culture came late. Ron Tyler points out that if you searched art in the first edition of the Handbook of Texas, you discovered that it was “a small town in eastern Mason County.” The lively essays here—by Bryan, Duty, and Tyler, the former director of the Amon Carter Museum—do more than illuminate the works themselves: they shed light on the creators and collectors of Texas art from the nineteenth century through the middle of the twentieth. Deep in the Art of Texas pulls pieces from the Torch Energy Advisors Collection of Texas Art, which showcases the likes of Charles Franklin “Frank” Reaugh and Robert Julian Onderdonk. The collection is housed at Torch Energy Advisors Inc. in Houston.

The former executive director of the National Western Art Foundation in San Antonio, MICHAEL W. DUTY has over thirty years experience working with museums throughout the country. The author of two award-winning books, The Cowboy Artists of America and Western Traditions: Contemporary Artists of the American West, Duty owns Michael Duty Fine Art in Dallas.

On Becoming an Architect A Memoir

Frank D. Welch A vivid memory and sharp focus on sensory detail— particularly sights, sounds, emotions—enable Frank Welch to narrate the extraordinary story of his life with great richness and insight. From his boyhood in Sherman, Texas, through his education at Texas A&M in the 1950s and his first professional ventures, Welch’s story is a remarkable memoir of how he became one of the Southwest’s most important architects.

Mentored by Harry Ransom, Welch and his fellow architecture students, traveling in two-door sedans with “Property of Texas A&M College” stenciled on the door panels, made pilgrimages around the country to tour important architectural sites and meet many of the nation’s most prominent architects. Among them were Frank Lloyd Wright, whom the group met in Arizona at Taleisin West. In Chicago, Welch and his classmates met Mies van der Rohe. And on the Pacific coast, Charles Eames gave the group breakfast at his home on a bluff overlooking the ocean.

Welch’s postgraduate years in Europe and his professional career in Texas are beautifully rendered in a volume richly illustrated with sketches, photographs, and floor plans of some of the most intriguing architectural gems in the Southwest.

In 1959, FRANK D. WELCH opened his first office: the origins of Frank Welch & Associates, a firm that has been recognized with over fifty design excellence awards. He has served as lecturer, visiting critic, and interim professor at many institutions, and is the author of Philip Johnson & Texas. Raised in Sherman, Texas, Welch now resides in Dallas where he continues to practice architecture.

El Paso 120 Mark A. Paulda

Mark Paulda, accomplished photographer and wandering wayfarer, doesn’t just showcase scenery in El Paso 120; he makes a powerful statement: “El Paso is not at the edge but instead at the very center of some remarkably amazing landscape.” Paulda subverts the notion that El Paso is merely a desert city in the middle of nowhere by taking his audience on journeys to striking destinations within a 120-mile radius of the border city.

Alongside photographs of mountainous locales like the Hueco Tanks, Paulda includes photos of such variety that some might not believe these locales are within a two-hour drive of El Paso. The breathtaking White Sands of the Tularosa Basin are only ninety-five miles to the north; the untouched rivers, delta, and lake of Elephant Butte, merely one hundred and twenty miles away. Paulda has captured these and many more stunning settings in gorgeous color.

By capturing the magnitude of these sublime landscapes with aerial shots, and bringing viewers to the heart of each scene with ground shots, Paulda reveals the grandeur of a terrain that, for many of us, has been off the map.

A long-time resident of El Paso, MARK PAULDA’s photographic career has brought him many accolades, including finalist, 2008/2010/2011 International Travel Photographer of the Year; semi-finalist, Shell Wildlife Photographer of the Year; semi-finalist, landscape at the Venice International Photo Awards; and third prize, Prix de la Photographie Paris.

The Big Drift

Chuck Curtis as told to Brian Honea

Assistant football coach for Southern Methodist University and head coach at the University of Texas at Arlington, Chuck Curtis was born in Midlothian, Texas, on July 15, 1935, to farmers John and Ellie Curtis. From humble beginnings in the throes of the Great Depression, Chuck Curtis would go on to become one of the most successful quarterbacks in TCU history, one of Texas football’s most interesting figures, and an Elder of the Palo Pinto Cowboy Church.

Through conversations with his collaborator, Brian Honea, Coach Curtis chronicles his greatest achievements on and off the field—from playing backup quarterback for the New York Giants under offensive coordinator Vince Lombardi and defensive coordinator Tom Landry, to banking and ranching with Mickey Mantle.

These conversations also reveal the man behind the legend—one who was divorced, nearly committed suicide, and eventually found salvation through the grace of God and the love of his wife Carole and daughter Kim. BRIAN HONEA has written and published the sports books Ahmo Power: The Story of the 1977 Texas 2A State Champion Wylie Pirates and Moon Shots and Short Hops: and Everything in Between. Honea lives in the Dallas-Fort Worth area where he works as a freelance writer and editor and is an avid fan of the Texas Rangers.

Bad Company and Burnt Powder Justice and Injustice in the Old Southwest Bob Alexander

Bad Company and Burnt Powder is a collection of twelve stories of when things turned "Western" in the nineteenth-century Southwest. Each chapter deals with a different character or episode in the Wild West involving various lawmen, Texas Rangers, outlaws, feudists, vigilantes, lawyers, and judges. Covered herein are the stories of Cal Aten, John Hittson, the Millican boys, Gid Taylor and Jim and Tom Murphy, Alf Rushing, Bob Meldrum and Noah Wilkerson, P. C. Baird, Gus Chenowth, Jim Dunaway, John Kinney, Elbert Hanks and Boyd White, and Eddie Aten.

Within these pages the reader will meet a nineteen-year-old Texas Ranger figuratively dying to shoot his gun. He does get to shoot at people, but soon realizes what he thought was a bargain exacted a steep price. Another tale is of an old-school cowman who shut down illicit traffic in stolen livestock that had existed for years on the Llano Estacado. He was tough, salty, and had no quarter for cow-thieves or sympathy for any mealy-mouthed politicians. He cleaned house, maybe not too nicely, but unarguably successful he was. Then there is the tale of an accomplished and unbeaten fugitive, well known and identified for murder of a Texas peace officer. But the Texas Rangers couldn't find him. County sheriffs wouldn't hold him. Slipping away from bounty hunters, he hit Owlhoot Trail.

Number Thirteen: Frances B. Vick Series

BOB ALEXANDER began a policing career in 1965 and retired as a special agent with the US Treasury Department. He is the author of Rawhide Ranger, Ira Aten (winner of WWHA Best Book Award); Riding Lucifer's Line: Ranger Deaths along the Texas-Mexico Border; and Winchester Warriors: Texas Rangers of Company D, 1874–1901, all published by UNT Press. He lives in Maypearl, Texas.

“

Bob Alexander is at his best, relating lawman/outlaw tales in his breezy, colloquial style. Bob’s focus is on the outlaws and lawmen unfamiliar to most readers, although they seem as courageous and quick-triggered as many gunmen who are far better known.”—Bill O'Neal, State Historian of Texas and author of The Johnson-Sims Feud

Happy Healthy Delicious Eating with a Texas Twist Kim Stanford and Bill Backhaus

There are many gluten-free cookbooks on the market, but none like Goodbye Gluten! Roughly one-third of people in the US are either gluten intolerant or have celiac disease, and for these people, eating gluten can make them sick—very sick. The engaging team of Kim Stanford and Bill Backhaus represents both these audiences, and together they have developed over two hundred flavorful and tempting recipes for all types of dishes, from appetizers to desserts.

Goodbye Gluten is both a cookbook and shopping guide for people who do not want gluten in their diets and are tired of missing out on their favorite foods. In each recipe the authors use everyday brand names that can be found at your local grocery store, which means you no longer have to check labels to decipher if a product is gluten-free.

Another appeal of the book is its use of Texas and Tex-Mex flavors to add a kick to what can be bland fare.

Goodbye Gluten makes it easy to live the gluten-free lifestyle, because it is not just a diet, but a lifestyle. With thirty color photos of the completed dishes, even the most dedicated bread-lover will want to get into the kitchen and start cooking.

Number Four: Great American Cooking Series

KIM STANFORD grew up in North Texas, lives in Austin, where she runs a catering business, and loves Southern home cooking. Her gluten-free pie was featured on the Food Network. BILL BACKHAUS is a "cook's cook" who was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1981. He is a lawyer in Dallas.

“

The most compelling aspect of the cookbook is its use of name brands. The authors have done the homework on labels, so the reader doesn’t have to. They also have a clear, playful voice that’s appealing and accessible.”—Kim Pierce, co-author of Phytopia Cookbook and contributor to Dallas Morning News

The View from the Back of the Band The Life and Music of Mel Lewis

Chris Smith Foreword by John Mosca Afterword by John Riley Mel Lewis (1929–1990) was born Melvin Sokoloff to Jewish Russian immigrants in Buffalo, New York. He first picked up his father’s drumsticks at the age of two and at seventeen he was a full-time professional musician. The View from the Back of the Band is the first biography of this legendary jazz drummer. For over fifty years, Lewis provided the blueprint for how a drummer could subtly support any musical situation. While he made his name with Stan Kenton and Thad Jones, and with his band at the Village Vanguard, it was the hundreds of recordings that he made as a sideman and his ability to mentor young musicians that truly defined his career.

Away from the drums, Lewis's passionate and outspoken personality made him one of jazz music's greatest characters. It is often through Lewis's own anecdotes, as well as many from the musicians who knew him best, that this book traces the career of one of the world’s greatest drummers. Previously unpublished interviews, personal memoirs, photos, musical transcriptions, and a selected discography add to this comprehensive biography.

Number Ten: North Texas Lives of Musician Series

CHRIS SMITH was raised in Iowa and began playing the drums at age eight. He holds degrees from Northern Illinois University and Manhattan School of Music, and a doctorate from University of Northern Colorado. He is currently a professional drummer and educator in New York, frequently giving master classes throughout the US.

“ “

Smith did a fine job. The research is meticulous and his insights into the music of Mel Lewis are good ones.”—Bruce Klauber, author of World of Gene Krupa: That Legendary Drummin' Man This is the best and most complete tracking of Lewis's career.”—John Riley, author of The Art of Bop Drumming and holder of Lewis' chair at the Village Vanguard

The Upshaws of County Line An American Family Richard Orton

Guss, Felix, and Jim Upshaw founded the community of County Line in the 1870s in northwest Nacogdoches County, in deep East Texas. As with hundreds of other relatively autonomous black communities created at that time, the Upshaws sought a safe place to raise their children and create a livelihood during Reconstruction and Jim Crow Texas.

In the late 1980s photographer Richard Orton visited County Line for the first time and became aware of a world he did not know existed as a white man. He went down the rabbit hole, so to speak, and met some remarkable people there who changed his life.

The more than 50 duotone photographs and text convey the contemporary experience of growing up in a "freedom colony." Covering a period of twenty-five years, photographer Richard Orton juxtaposes his images with text from people who grew up in and have remained connected to their birthplace. Thad Sitton's foreword sets the community in historical context and Roy Flukinger points out the beauty of the documentary photographs.

This book should appeal to anyone interested in American or Texas history, particularly the history of African Americans in the South in the aftermath of the Civil War. The book should also be of interest to anyone with an appreciation for documentary photography, including students and teachers of photography.

RICHARD ORTON was born in Nacogdoches and raised in Midland.

He became mesmerized by photography after seeing an image materializing in a development tray. After two years in the Peace Corps, he settled in Austin, Texas, where he worked with nonprofits before becoming a photographer for the Texas House of Representatives. He moved back to Nacogdoches in 2007.

“ “

There are giants in the earth and other 'presences' at County Line, and when you look closely at the photos of Orton perhaps you can sense some of them.”—from the Foreword by Thad Sitton This book reveals significance in the lives of ordinary people who, when closely examined, are not ordinary at all.”—O. Rufus Lovett, photographer for Weeping Mary

The Year of Perfect Happiness Becky Adnot-Haynes

The sharp-witted stories in Becky Adnot-Haynes's debut collection explore the secret lives of people—how they deal with the parts of themselves that they choose not to share with their closest confidants—and with the world. A pole-vaulter practices his sport only before dawn. A recently divorced woman signs up for a hallucinogenic drug excursion in the Arizona desert. An uncertain girlfriend goes out into the world wearing a false pregnancy belly.

In The Year of Perfect Happiness, the universe is recognizable but slightly askew, a world whose corners can be peeled back to reveal the strange and often comic outcomes of acting out your most self-destructive desires.

Women and the Texas Revolution Edited by Mary L. Scheer

In this second edition, historians Chuck Parsons and Donaly E. Brice present a complete picture of N. O. Reynolds (1846–1922), a Texas Ranger who brought a greater respect for the law in Central Texas. Reynolds began as a sergeant in famed Company D, Frontier Battalion in 1874. He served honorably during the Mason County “Hoo Doo” War and was chosen to be part of Major John B. Jones's escort, riding the frontier line. In 1877 he arrested the Horrells, who were feuding with their neighbors, the Higgins party, thus ending their Lampasas County feud. Shortly thereafter he was given command of the newly formed Company E of Texas Rangers. Also in 1877 the notorious John Wesley Hardin was captured; N.O. Reynolds was given the responsibility to deliver Hardin to trial in Comanche, return him to a safe jail during his appeal, and then escort him safely to the Huntsville penitentiary.

While there is wide scholarship on the Texas Revolution, there is no comparable volume on the role of women during that conflict. Most of the many works on the Texas Revolution include women briefly in the narrative, such as Emily Austin, Suzanna Dickinson, and Emily Morgan West (the Yellow Rose), but not as principal participants. Women and the Texas Revolution explores these women in much more depth, in addition to covering the women and children who fled Santa Anna’s troops in the Runaway Scrape, and examining the roles and issues facing Native American, black, and Hispanic women of the time. “[This] is a needed, educational, and enjoyable anthology that can be used in a variety of studies— women's history, that of the Revolution, or early Texas. This book will be equally attractive to the non-academic world, as it contains all the ingredients in a great book—love, death, turmoil, survival, defeat, and victory.”—East Texas Historical Journal MARY L.

A Day For Dancing

The Life and Music of Lloyd Pfautsch Kenneth W. Hart

After earning his theology degree from Union Seminary in New York, Lloyd Pfautsch (1921–2003) found his true calling in church music. He was invited to Southern Methodist University in 1958 to start their graduate program in sacred music and remained there for 34 years. Outside the university, he formed the Dallas Civic Chorus and led it for 25 years. He was nationally known for his conducting and the quality of the musicians he produced as well as for his compositions, many of which are illustrated here with his handwritten notations.

This is the first biography of this important figure, and it is told from the viewpoint of a longtime colleague and friend. Aligned with the biography, Hart analyzes some of Pfautsch's hundreds of compositions. This is the definitive work on one of the most influential American choral musicians of the twentieth century.

Jade Visions

The Life and Music of Scott LaFaro Helene LaFaroFernández Foreword by Don Thompson Introduction by Gene Lees

Jade Visions is the first biography of one of the twentieth century’s most influential jazz musicians, bassist Scott LaFaro. Best known for his landmark recordings with Bill Evans, LaFaro played bass a mere seven years before his life and career were tragically cut short by an automobile accident when he was only 25 years old. Told by his sister with the assistance of well-known jazz experts including Gene Lees, this book uniquely combines family history with insight into LaFaro's music.

“Fernandez's insightful comments about her brother offer far more than jazz scholars have ever known about this significant and somewhat enigmatic figure in the history of jazz.”—Bill Milkowski, author of Jaco: The Extraordinary and Tragic Life of Jaco Pastorius “[T]his is a book no serious enthusiast for LaFaro or his music can afford to be without.”—Jazzwise Number Four: North Texas Lives of Musician Series

HELENE LA FARO-FERNÁNDEZ was born in Irvington, New Jersey, but spent most of her youth in Geneva, New York. In 1957 she joined her brother Scott in Los Angeles and has made her home there ever since.

Conducting Concerti A Technical and Interpretive Guide David Itkin

This book examines 43 great concerti and discusses, in detail, the technical, aural, rehearsal, and intra-personal skills that are required for “effortless excellence.” Maestro Itkin wrote this book for conductors first encountering the concerto repertoire and for those wishing to improve their skills on this important, and often understudied, literature. Often misunderstood is the fact that both the physical technique and the score study process require a substantially different and more nuanced approach than with the major symphonic repertoire. In short, this is the book that Itkin wished had been available when he was a student and young professional.

“This book is truly wonderful, lucid and intelligent.

Would that many of Maestro Itkin’s colleagues devoted such attention to mere concerti!”—Misha Dichter “This is a ‘must own’ book for any conductor or conducting student.”—Samuel Adler, Professor of Composition, the Juilliard School Born in Portland, Oregon, DAVID ITKIN's conducting career includes more than eight hundred symphonic, operatic, and theatrical performances worldwide and throughout North America. He is currently Music Director and Conductor with the Abilene Philharmonic and Professor of Music and Director of Orchestral Studies at the University of North Texas.

Three Decades of Engendering History Selected Works of Antonia I. Castaneda

Edited by Linda Heidenreich with Antonia I. Castañeda Original Interviews by Luz María Gordillo Conclusion by Deena J. González Three Decades of Engendering History collects ten of Antonia I. Castañeda’s best articles, including the widely circulated article “Engendering the History of Alta California, 1769–1848,” in which Castañeda took a direct and honest look at sex and gender relations in colonial California, exposing stories of violence against women as well as stories of survival and resistance. Other articles included are the prize-winning “Women of Color and the Rewriting of Western History,” and two recent articles, “Lullabies y Canciones de Cuna” and “La Despedida.” The latter two represent Castañeda’s most recent work excavating, mapping, and bringing forth the long and strong post-WWII history of Tejanas. Finally, the volume includes three interviews with Antonia Castañeda that contribute the important narrative of her lived experience—the “theory in the flesh” and politics of necessity that fueled her commitment to transformative scholarship that highlights gender and Chicanas as a legitimate line of inquiry.

December

The TEXAS FOLKLORE SOCIETY has been publishing a regular volume of folklore research (our PTFS series) for the past several decades.

Most of these books are what we call miscellanies, compilations of the works of multiple folklorists, and they feature articles on many types of lore. UNT Press has also published over twenty “Extra Books,” which are single-author manuscripts that examine a more focused topic.

Joyce Gibson Roach has collected “snippets” of stories, recipes, and traditions of life in Turtle, Texas, which represents many small towns—and the people who inhabit them. Many of the younger generations leave such towns, finding both place and society crumbling. Those who’ve stayed are finding new and interesting ways to put themselves and their places back together. Both the short and long pieces herein are about the folks who’ve elected to stay generation after generation, knowing that for them wherever they’ve stayed is still the Home Place. The characters’ viewpoints are personal, sometimes agreeing with facts found in history books and sometimes not.

Number Twenty-four: Texas Folklore Society Extra Book

Folktales from the Helotes Settlement is a collection of personal memories from the Folklore Society’s longest active member, who first joined more than fifty years ago. Here we find legends, customs, and beliefs of the people of the Helotes Settlement near San Antonio. These stories capture the lore of a place similar to lots of other places—our places. They’re familiar to us all because, when we get right down to it, the Helotes Settlement is not very different from wherever we’re from.

It begins in the summer of 1913 when activities for young people were abundant, reluctantly chronicles Alma's return to high school for a junior year, hurtles through the heartbreak of a chilling winter, and rockets full blast into the spring and early summer of 1914. The diary’s focus is on Alma and her new boyfriend, Emmet Thornton, and how their lives play out.

Interspersed are clips from two newspapers, the Sulphur Springs Gazette (1862–1928) and the Commerce Journal (1891–present), and magazine clippings illustrating special moments in Alma’s life during the time of the diary.

An Evening With Venus

Prostitution During the American Civil War John Jackson Gaines

During the Civil War era, American society faced a number of challenges. Issues of morality and gender roles emerged as areas of contention concerning prostitution. Because of the social constraints on women during the period, females found themselves with limited skills and economic opportunities to provide for themselves.

Many sold sex as a means of survival. Soldiers left home for a cause, but many also sought adventure that led to prostitutes.

Peer pressure and a sense of new found freedom brought many soldiers to seek out sex workers. Without an official policy regulating prostitution for either the Union army or the Confederate army, officers relied on their own beliefs or priorities in crafting orders relating to prostitution. The sex trade also came under the scrutiny of moral reformers and military doctors.

While prostitution and the spread of venereal diseases likely did not affect the duration of the war, the sex trade made a significant impact on the short term social status and long term health of thousands of people.

No Asylum

Steve Sherwood A mysterious woman comes out of the wheat fields late one night to complicate the life of Chief Ranger Aldo Springer, recently banished to Fort Pawnee National Historical Site in central Kansas.

She demands asylum and backs up her demand by threatening to jump from the highest point in the historical site—a crow’s nest halfway up the hundred-foot mast of the fort’s flag pole. Against his judgment, Springer conceals her from the security forces of the state hospital, from which she escaped, and risks everything he cherishes to pursue a murderer along a cold trail.

“In this well-conceived and vivid manuscript, the charming Aldo Springer, Chief Park Ranger at Fort Pawnee National Historic Site in Kansas, is in the awkward position of providing cover for Amanda Lowenthal, a 28-year-old escapee from the Pawnee State Hospital for the criminally insane, who murdered her family when she was fourteen. This is a genuinely successful piece of storytelling and character development. It’s humorous and well-paced and structures plausible scenes of intensity and moments of tenderness.”—Publisher’s Weekly “Steve Sherwood's finely crafted No Asylum is about escape.

Those who escape justice need to be imprisoned. Those in prisons, most often of their own making, need to escape. Aldo Springer, a National Park Service ranger, divorced, banished from his beloved Rocky Mountains to the Fort Pawnee National Historic site in Kansas, and loathed by his superintendent, lives without much hope. Serving time in this purgatory, a particularly hot summer in Kansas, he learns to act on his instincts, broaden his heart, take chances, and escape to the small slice of heaven he can create from truth, trust, and love.”—Thomas Fox Averill STEVE SHERWOOD won the 2003 TRP George Garrett Fiction Prize with his novel Hardwater. His latest book of stories and personal essays will appear in 2014. Steve is the director of the William L.

The Browning Automatic Rifle, known simply as the BAR, was a shoulder-fired light machine gun fed by a twenty-round box magazine of 30-06, the same ammunition used by the 1903 Springfield.

Weighing in at under twenty pounds, it could easily be carried by one soldier, who could drape a bandolier with twelve magazines over his shoulder, giving him a total of 260 rounds (counting those in the mounted magazine). Generally accompanied by at least one companion carrying an additional bandolier with twelve magazines, the BAR man could exercise some serious firepower.

Used sparingly during World War I because of the United States’ late entry into the war, it played a major role during World War II and the Korean Conflict, offering a very reliable combination of rapid fire and penetration. Few weapons of war ever pressed into service have offered the romantic allure of the BAR. Ohio Ordnance Works, Inc. manufactures a semi-automatic version of this rifle, the 1918 A3, keeping alive this icon of American military weaponry. The only one of its kind in production anywhere in the world, it is manufactured with some of the original USGI WWI and WWII parts. Only the highest quality Ohio Ordnance original and USGI standard parts are used in its production.

The heart of the 1918 A3 is the receiver made from 8620 steel casting that has been carburized and induction heat treated. The castings are machined on state-of-the-art CNC machining centers.

Every rifle is fully assembled, inspected, test-fired, and re-inspected under the direct supervision of a master armorer.

The new M240 SLR . . .

M240 Machine Gun

Paul Ruffin and Bob Conroy The M240 Machine Gun traces the development of the weapon, currently the primary medium-weight machine gun of our military, through the latest configuration, the M240 SLR, designed and manufactured by Ohio Ordnance.

When the United States military determined during the late 1970s that it was time to find a replacement for older machine guns in the services, they initiated an extensive search for a weapon that would fire the 7.62 Nato round and prove economical, adaptable in many configurations, relatively lightweight, accurate, and more reliable than its predecessors. The clear winner was the Belgium-made Fabrique Nationale MAG, later adapted and renamed the M240, a belt-fed 7.62 air-cooled weapon easily adapted for use on ground vehicles, aircraft, and seagoing craft and light enough to be carried and operated by a single soldier. Today the M240 is the primary medium machine gun of our armed forces and of many of our allies across the globe.

“Relatively few fully transferable MAGs are in civilian hands, and the cost of a transferable MAG of any sort is upward of $70,000.

Ohio Ordnance Works (OOW) is offering a semi-automatic-only version of the M240 as its M240 SLR (for self-loading rifle).

The M240 SLR is a mix of original M240 components and parts designed and manufactured by OOW. The right sideplate, which is the receiver according to the BATFE, is thicker than the military M240 and the interior parts have been reduced accordingly to ensure that fully automatic components cannot be inserted. Further, the SLR cannot accept a military trigger group or operating rod.”—National Rifle Association Staff PAUL RUFFIN is Texas State University System Regents' Professor at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas.

The poets of North Carolina . . .

Southern Poetry Anthology, VII: North Carolina

Edited by Jesse Graves, Paul Ruffin, and William Wright Robert Morgan and Kathryn Stripling Byer, Al Maginnes and Cathy Smith Bowers, Thomas Raine Crowe and Michael McFee, as well as many new voices. . . Indeed, the variegation of the Tar Heel State’s landscapes, as well as its rich history, is reflected through the myriad voices of its contemporary verse. As with other volumes of The Southern Poetry Anthology, this book—full of a wide gamut of poetic styles and approaches—will appeal to many readers, prove an excellent teaching resource for North Carolina students of literature, and serve as the definitive poetic document for North Carolina for many years.

Conceived by Series Editor William Wright in 2003, The Southern Poetry Anthology is a projected twelve-to-sixteen volume project celebrating established and emerging poets of the American South, published by Texas Review Press. Inspired by single-volume anthologies such as Leon Stokesbury’s The Made Thing, Gil Allen’s A Ninety-Six Sampler, and Guy Owen and Mary C. Williams’ Contemporary Southern Poetry: an Anthology, The Southern Poetry Anthology aspires to provide readers with a documentary-like survey of the best poetry being written in the American South at the present moment.

Specifically, the editors' goals are twofold: first, to re-establish poetry of the South as a major presence in American literature, and second, to include a greater range of poets from the South to introduce a new poetic geography, a fresh corpus of what we understand to be “Southern Poetry.”

JESSE GRAVES, the author of two collections of poetry released by TRP, is from Johnson City, Tennessee. PAUL RUFFIN is a novelist, short story writer, essayist, and poet who teaches at Sam Houston State University. WILLIAM WRIGHT, editor and poet and editor of this series, is from Marietta, Georgia.

Williamson says it hot again!

Say It Hot, Volume II: Industrial Strength Essays on American Writers Eric Miles Williamson

Say It Hot Volume II: Industrial Strength is a collection of essays on American poets, fiction writers, nonfiction writers, and issues of interest to artists and academics. A companion volume to Say It Hot, these essays are brutally honest and acutely intelligent.

From the book: “Literary authors these days no longer make livings off their work. Their books are not to be found in bookstores, and the books are rarely printed by major New York publishing houses. No one reads their works except for other literary authors and the professors who are evaluating their tenure and promotion folders at the colleges and universities at which they are employed, and it’s a minor miracle if a literary book from a small press sells a thousand copies. Fiction writers from wealth write about writing or they write about the ridiculous “sufferings” of the rich. Fiction writers from the lower classes write about the primordial filth from which they’ve physically escaped but from which they’ll never mentally be able to leave behind. Like war veterans, people who’ve fought it out in the miasma of poverty and blue- collar hell can never get the stink out of their skins, try as they may. Just like people who haven’t been to war can spot vets who have, middle-class people and the rich can spot people who’ve grown up poor, no matter what their position in life or the quality of their designer suits. Those suits just don’t fit right, and the neckties make them fidget and sweat. What the well-heeled authors and the working-class writers have in common is that they’ve been trained not to pronounce moral judgment.”

ERIC MILES WILLIAMSON is author of three internationally acclaimed novels, a short story collection which won the PEN/Oakland Award, and three books of criticism. He is Fiction Editor of Texas Review, Senior Editor of Boulevard, and Associate Editor of American Book Review. Professor of English at the University of Texas, Pan American, he lives in McAllen, Texas.

The Garden of the Fugitives

Beauty Strip William Kelley Woolfitt

Ashley Mace Havird

An Ivorybill in Arkansas, which human guilt has conjured up from extinction; mud daubers toting “stunned spiders” to their nests on a screened porch in Louisiana; a whale shark off the Yucatan whose spots tell its story in indecipherable Braille; conchs harvested from an undersea garden in the Caymans; stray dogs in Athens, ancient gods in disguise—the lives of these creatures and others entwine with ours in The Garden of the Fugitives.

Beauty Strip considers the landscapes and living things of Appalachia, protests the industrialization that leaves ruin in its wake, and celebrates the human capacity to remake, redeem, and find shelters and homes. Part sketchbook, part dreambook, Beauty Strip maps and ruminates on, haunts and is haunted by, the mountaintop removal sites and mill towns, the salt-works and bloomeries, that have scarred the land from West Virginia to Virginia to Tennessee.

Loosely based on the story of Eve, this collection of poems takes the reader from Eden into a fallen world.

Exploring the tense relationships between women and men, mothers and daughters, and human beings and other species, these poems lead to Pompeii’s memorial to the “ash people” in The Garden of the Fugitives, where parents and children, inside their husks of plaster, never stop dying to the singing of bees.

Our Lady of the Mills

The painter dodges the filthy clumps, despises their chilblained faces, rabbit-eyes, broken teeth. He eases into the stone church, the one work he will give them: the virgin, charcoal-lined, comfort for the people in their hours at the furnace and the spools.

With paregoric and tonic bitters, he endures the church’s stained light, cold arches, and eye-sockets. Empty, unpainted, the dreadful ovals will tell what she felt when she touched her son, cool and rigid as marble awaiting the chisel, pale as threadbare muslin, spilt cream.

WISTERIA Oozing perfume, the vine kills exquisitely in such high style.

The trees have no idea what’s happening to them.

Goodbye, Mexico: Poems of Remembrance

The Gold Piano

Stephen March

Edited by Sarah Cortez

This anthology gathers the strong voices of accomplished poets reaching into and beyond nostalgia to remember, to honor, and to document through figurative imagery their experiences of Mexico and the vibrant border areas before the ravages of narco-violence.

Locals Listen to the Mariachi Band at El Jardin in San Miguel You see their silhouettes along the stone wall or arm in arm below the glow of garden lights huddled like foothills, earth you could plant maize in.

Cowboy hats and serapes, the smell of beer and cinnamon churros. You think of family and language how the music rolls through your hips

to the sweat behind your knees. How it rushes through you, to a place you still don’t know.

—Lois P. Jones SARAH CORTEZ, resident of Houston and member of the Texas Institute of Letters, is the author of two poetry collections, How to Undress a Cop and Cold Blue Steel, and winner of the PEN Texas literary award in poetry.

The Gold Piano tells the story of Emerson Wainwright, a young man whose idyllic life in a small North Carolina town is turned upside down after his father is caught on videotape in a homosexual act at the county hospital.

To escape from his hometown and its painful memories, Emerson enrolls at an under-funded historically black college a hundred miles away, attending on a minority grant. As the only white student living on campus, he struggles with his loneliness and his role as an outsider.

His relationship with his roommate, a black activist from Brooklyn, is challenged when Emerson begins to fall in love with Zena, a gifted black artist. The novel’s final scenes bring a quiet but hopeful sense of resolution to Emerson’s quest to define himself and find his place in the world.

STEPHEN MARCH lived in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, until his recent death. An accomplished musician, he authored a number of books of fiction, among them the novel Hatteras Moon (2013) and a collection of stories, Tell Him You Saw Me. Armadillo won the TRP Clay Reynolds Novella Prize in 2002.

Sourdough

Constant State of Leaping

Benjamin Ludwig

Karla K. Morton

Lucas has inherited his mother's bakery, as well as her obsession for baking sourdough: a bread conceived by wild strains of yeast, and ripened until its flavor becomes both pungent and startling. Running the family business was a safe bet for Lucas, and a lucrative one at that; but when he finds that his soul has become infused with the same untamable character of the sourdough itself, he discovers that a safe bet can be the most dangerous thing a person can dare to make.

“The masterful way Benjamin Ludwig establishes and stays true to an analogy ultimately sells the integrity of the idea and creates a continuing sense of surprise in a subject that has been exhaustively treated and in two characters who are less than perfect, but who somehow are remarkable in their ordinariness and the genuine passion they find for each other and in their journey of self-discovery.

The truth is that I didn’t want to like this story, but Ludwig made me love it by remaining faithful to his characters and allowing them to carry the tale, while they develop and round out into credible and evocative, convincingly empathetic individuals who moved me with the genuineness of their hearts.”— Clay Reynolds, Series Judge BENJAMIN LUDWIG serves as a teacher-coach and curriculum developer in Dover, New Hampshire.

This collection, Morton’s tenth, is a bold book of poetry delving into risks. It’s the moving forward; the constant discovery of new things. Using a combination of quotes, mythological images, and exquisite metaphors from nature, Morton delivers poems that describe the absolute urgency of giving one’s heart over to life, the burning drive to have faith in the world, the insistence that everything, in its own way, is holy. This book is unfettered joy.

Tending Fires I wanted to write a sonnet last night, because that’s what lovers do, but the fire needed tending, and all I could think of were your shoulders, and that’s not romantic, so I put on another log, and thought about that hot summer day underneath that oak, when our shoulders brushed, and I blushed at the nearness of you, and how we made love that night . . . still . . . that’s not what I wanted to write . . . But it’s you; you, my love. You are my night and my morning, and the hot coals beneath these logs . . . hear them hiss and whisper like cicadas—cicadas of the trees, and the summer, and of all things that burn.

Landscapes with Horses

Mark Sanders Illustrations by Charles D. Jones Landscapes with Horses conjoins the work of two artists: the poetry of Mark Sanders and the illustrations of woodcutter and book artisan Charles Jones.

The LaNana Creek Press editions of this handpressed, handbound collaboration features over a dozen of Jones’s exquisite woodcuts and twenty of Sanders’s poems. The combination is a feast of imagery, both visual and written, and fine-press book enthusiasts and fans of poetry will find much to admire.

Jones’s woodcuts show the range of horse energies, from wildness to repose, and Sanders’s verse places horses and humans in spiritual and emotional proximity in such fashion that acclaimed poet and novelist, Kelly Cherry, once called Sanders the best horse poet since Virginia poet Henry Taylor.

Landscapes with Horses is an intimate collection; readers will understand both the artist and the poet better for reading the work, but readers will also see themselves transcended into the varied, powerful landscapes this book brings to life.

MARK SANDERS is the author of a number of poetry collections, including Conditions of Grace: New and Selected Poems. His work has been widely published in the United States, Canada, and Great Britain.

A long-time native of Nebraska’s plains, he currently calls Nacogdoches home. CHARLES D.

Heaven's Messengers begins with the death of six young people—three in Mexico, two in the United States, and one in Spain.

All are admitted to heaven by St. Peter and given special assignments to interview six important personages in the conquest of Mexico: Hernando Cortés, Pedro de Alvarado, and Martín López (the last far less well known, but he was a master carpenter and boat builder who constructed thirteen small vessels that were launched on Lake Texcoco and provided a naval component that proved vitally important to the success of the conquest); Doña Marina and Isabel Moctezuma, both Aztec women); and Leonor Cortés Moctezuma. The six messengers are miraculously returned to life and placed in the century of conquest with specific assignments—to illustrate how three men steeped in Roman Catholicism and three pagan women become worthy.

DONALD E. CHIPMAN is Emeritus Professor of History at the University of North Texas. A specialist in the history of colonial Mexico and Spanish Borderlands in the American Southwest, he is the author or coauthor of seven books. In 2003, on orders of King Juan Carlos I of Spain, Chipman received appointment for his work on Spain in America as a lord /knight in the Order of Isabel la Católica, the highest honor the Spanish government can confer on a non-Spaniard.

Bonnie and Clyde and Marie

A Sister’s Perspective on the Notorious Barrow Gang Jonathan Davis

Kimberly Verhines’s The Blue Hour before Sunrise is a brave work of literary nonfiction. Unflinchingly, Verhines explores the events that led to the loss of her 19-year-old son and the harrowing territories of grief and hard-won resolution that followed in the long aftermath of his death.

Few answers exist to explain the facts of his dependence on illegal steroids, how such dependence skewed his image of self and self-worth, or how he determined suicide was an appropriate choice, to end his own pain and, perhaps he thought, the pain he brought those who loved him.

Verhines confronts the facts, fearfully but imperatively needful. Doubtless, the subject matter of The Blue Hour before Sunrise is difficult. A mother’s journey after a child’s death is wrought with agony, anxiety, and a pervading loneliness too populated by psychological ghosts. On the other side, we resurrect into the thin light that can only be hope, only be a promise of life renewed.

KIMBERLY VERHINES received her MA in English and Women’s Studies from the University of Houston-Clear Lake and MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Idaho. She lives in Nacogdoches.

Jonathan Davis's long awaited book reveals a sister's perspective of her brothers and their gang, the sometimes uncomfortable relationships among family members, and a glimpse into what it was like to live in the media's constant scrutiny and distortion.

“I had known Marie since autumn, 1993, after both of us had worked on a documentary titled Remembering Bonnie and Clyde. She brought in the 'death shirt' and other items to be photographed for this program. I watched her being interviewed and was impressed by the story she had to tell. A few days afterward, I sent Marie a small thank-you card with a note telling her how much I enjoyed meeting her and that if I could ever be of assistance, she should call. I didn’t expect a response, but shortly thereafter, Marie called and asked to meet with me, and thus began one of the richest and most interesting times of my life.”—Jonathan Davis JONATHAN DAVIS was born in Evansville, Indiana. In the early autumn of 1993, he made the acquaintance of Marie Barrow when they both worked on a documentary concerning the Barrow Gang. From that time until her passing in early 1999, Marie and Jonathan worked on several Barrow-related projects, such as the manuscript and the nationally-publicized auction of Clyde's death shirt and other family items. Jonathan has also appeared on several national programs concerning Bonnie and Clyde. He currently resides in Dallas, TX. 978-1-936205-12-7 cloth $24.95 6x9. 300 pp. 20 b&w photos.

David B. Warren Symposium, Volume 1

David B. Warren Symposium, Volume 2

Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston presented the inaugural David B. Warren Symposium “American Material Culture and the Texas Experience” in 2007. Bayou Bend, one of the great cultural treasures in the state of Texas, is renowned for its superb collection of American decorative arts and paintings.

This volume following the proceedings of the second David B. Warren Symposium opens with a discussion on the “roots of home” by architect and historian Russell Versaci. The essay journeys across the American South, examining the wide range of architectural styles that developed there during the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries.

This volume of proceedings is introduced by the paper Warren presented at the first conference, an essay that provides a firm basis and raison d’etre for the symposium’s overall theme, chronicling Houston philanthropist Ima Hogg’s life-long effort to bring American colonial and Federal objects— material culture—to Texas.

Building on Versaci’s introduction of the Germanic tradition behind the Texas rock house style, Kenneth Hafertepe delves into a study of these mid-nineteenth-century houses that were built by German immigrants to central Texas—examining how the living spaces were arranged, and what materials and methods were used in their construction.

Additional papers by distinguished scholars Margaretta M. Lovell, the symposium’s keynote speaker, Kelly Donahue-Wallace, Lonn Taylor, and Jill Beute Koverman round out the collection, placing the pre1900 material culture of Texas, the lower South, and the Southwest within a national and international context.

Three art historical essays by Sam Ratcliffe, Maurie D. McInnis, and Michael R. Grauer follow, demonstrating the equally broad range of influences and traditions identified in art produced in Texas, the South, and the Southwest prior to 1900.

The Civil War and the Material Culture of Texas, the Lower South, and the Southwest

Itinerant and Immigrant Artists and Artisans in 19th-Century Texas David B Warren Symposium, Volume 4 Bayou Bend Collection

David B Warren Symposium, Volume 3

Bayou Bend Collection The third biennial David B. Warren Symposium, held in 2011, commemorated the sesquicentennial of the start of the American Civil War. A cadre of distinguished scholars gathered to examine the material culture of the Civil War era.

This volume presents four insightful essays that explore this topic in relation to trade along the Mississippi Valley, the visual history of the plantation, the movement of precious objects through wartime looting, and the role of cotton as a fundamental textile within and beyond the US South.

The book opens by setting the stage for the Civil War with an essay by Jason T. Busch that explores ways in which the Mississippi River was transformed in the 1850s from a line of travel to a route of cultural and artistic exchange. John Michael Vlach, Dana Byrd, Katie Knowles, and William Hosley focus on the subtheme of changes in materal culture in the South and Texas driven by the Civil War.

This volume includes five papers presented at the fourth Biennial David B. Warren Symposium: “American Material Culture and the Texas Experience� in 2013. The conference focused on the theme of itinerant and immigrant artisans and artists living and working around the state in the nineteenth century.

Ron Tyler opened the symposium with a keynote address, discussing the cultural reasons for itinerant and immigrant artists and artisans within the framework of nineteenth-century Texas and border history. Scholar D. Jack Davis, author David Haynes, historical architect Mario L. Sanchez, and art expert Heather White discuss early Texas silversmiths and photography, evolution and cultural continuity in the building of South Texas, and Thomas Allen sketches.
