AMERICAN WEST / ART HISTORY

Norwegian and American Landscape Photography

Edited by Shannon Egan and Marthe Tolnes Fjellestad

Compares early photographic histories of the U.S. and Norway and explores globally shared impulses to travel, build, exploit, and preserve the land

December 2021, 260 pp., 8.5 x 10 24 color Illustrations, 103 b/w illustrations Hardcover 978-1-64769-061-8 $69.95 Paper 978-1-64769-062-5 $34.95

Across the West and Toward the North compares how photographers in Norway and the United States represented the environment in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when once-remote wildernesses were first surveyed, developed, and photographed. Making images while traversing almost inaccessible terrain—often on foot and for months at a time—photographers created a compelling visual language that came to symbolize each nation.

In this edited volume, Norwegian and American scholars offer the first study of the striking parallels in the production, distribution, and reception of these modern expressions of landscape and nationhood. In recognizing how landscape photographs were made meaningful to international audiences—such as tourists, visitors to world’s fairs, scientists, politicians, and immigrants—the authors challenge notions of American exceptionalism and singularly nationalistic histories.

The book includes stunning photographs of mountainous landscapes, glaciers, and forests, punctuated by signs of human development and engineering, with more than one hundred rarely seen plates by photographers Knud Knudsen, Anders Beer Wilse, Timothy O’Sullivan, Charles R. Savage, and others.

Shannon Egan is director of the Schmucker Art Gallery at Gettysburg College and the cofounder and codirector of the art gallery Ejecta Projects. She has authored articles on photographers Edward S. Curtis and Jeff Wall, and co-authored the artbook Ejecta.

Marthe Tolnes Fjellestad is the curator at Perspektivet Museum, Tromsø.

She is coauthor of Starman—Sophus Tromholt Photographs 1882<n>1883, and coeditor of Library and Information Studies for Arctic Social Sciences and Humanities.

The Last Called Mormon Colonization

Polygamy, Kinship, and Wealth in Wyoming’s Bighorn Basin

John Gary Maxwell

A detailed account of the Bighorn Basin Colonization Company that emigrated from Utah to Wyoming in 1900

November 2021, 256 pp., 6 x 9 13 Illustrations, 3 maps eBook 978-1-64769-060-1 Hardcover 978-1-64769-058-8 $95.00s Paper 978-1-64769-059-5 $29.95

More than three hundred Latter-day Saint settlements were founded by LDS Church President Brigham Young. Colonization—often outside of Utah—continued under the next three LDS Church presidents, fueled by Utah’s overpopulation relative to its arable, productive land. In this book, John Gary Maxwell takes a detailed look at the Bighorn Basin colonization of 1900–1901, placing it in the political and socioeconomic climate of the time while examining whether the move to this out-of-the-way frontier was motivated in part by the desire to practice polygamy unnoticed.

The LDS Church officially abandoned polygamy in 1890, but evidence that the practice was still tolerated (if not officially sanctioned) by the church circulated widely, resulting in intense investigations by the U.S. Senate. In 1896 Abraham Owen Woodruff, a rising star in LDS leadership and an ardent believer in polygamy, was appointed to head the LDS Colonization Company. Maxwell explores whether under Woodruff’s leadership the Bighorn Basin colony was intended as a means to insure the secret survival of polygamy and if his untimely death in 1904, together with the excommunication of two equally dedicated proponents of polygamy—Apostles John Whitaker Taylor and Matthias Foss Cowley—led to its collapse.

Maxwell also details how Mormon settlers in Wyoming struggled with finance, irrigation, and farming and how they brought the same violence to indigenous peoples over land and other rights as did non-Mormons.

The 1900 Bighorn Basin colonization provides an early twentieth-century example of a Mormon syndicate operating at the intersection of religious conformity, polygamy, nepotism, kinship, corporate business ventures, wealth, and high priesthood status. Maxwell offers evidence that although in many ways the Bighorn Basin colonization failed, Owen Woodruff’s prophecy remains unbroken: “No year will ever pass, from now until the coming of the Savior, when children will not be born in plural marriage.”

WESTERN HISTORY / LITERATURE

Wallace Stegner in California

Matthew D. Stewart

Examines Wallace Stegner’s California novels and what they express about place, region, and community

December 2021, 192 pp., 6 x 9 8 Illustrations eBook 978-1-64769-057-1 Hardcover 978-1-64769-055-7 $95.00s Paper 978-1-64769-056-4 $29.95

As author of the “Wilderness Letter” and major awardwinning novels, histories, essays, and biographies, Wallace Stegner worked throughout his life to protect western lands, places, and peoples. His writing was and remains an inspiration and guide for countless people attempting to cultivate a sense of place in the American West while tacking their way through uncertain times.

This book tells the story of Stegner and his family as they made a home just outside of Palo Alto, California, during its transition from the Valley of Heart’s Delight (known for its rolling hills and orchards) to Silicon Valley. In this thoughtful study of the novels Stegner wrote in California—including his Pulitzer Prize–winning Angle of Repose— readers are invited to consider with Stegner what the practice of place requires in the American West. Specialists in the literature and history of the American West will find new analyses of Stegner and his influential work. Other readers will be guided through Stegner’s work in concrete and accessible prose, and anyone who has longed for home and a sense of place will encounter a powerful, beautiful, and at times tragic attempt to build and preserve it.

Matthew D. Stewart teaches humanities at The Ambrose School in Meridian, Idaho, and is associate editor at Front Porch Republic. He holds a PhD in history from Syracuse University.

“Part field guide to Wallace Stegner's California novels, part hymn to Stegner's ideas of community and place, Matthew Stewart's graceful book asks what role the 20th-century California suburbs played in the author's famed geography of hope.”

Archaeology and History of the Western Midriff Islands in the Gulf of California

Thomas Bowen

Illuminates the remarkably rich history of the western Midriff Islands from prehistoric times to the present

April 2022, 288 pp., 7 x 10 88 color illustrations, 13 b/w images eBook 978-1-64769-039-7 Hardcover 978-1-64769-038-0 $70.00s

Hot, arid, and uninhabited, the western Midriff Islands lie in the Gulf of California, surrounded by an oftentreacherous sea. Given these conditions, why would ancient people go there, and why would anybody go there today? Thomas Bowen addresses these questions in the first comprehensive history of these islands.

Bowen draws on a wide range of sources, including the first archaeological field work ever conducted on the islands, written accounts dating back to the sixteenth century, oral histories of native people, contemporary interviews, and his own firsthand experiences. Among those cast in the islands’ historical drama are the Seri (Comcaac) people of Sonora, the extinct Cochimís of Baja California, Spanish explorers, Jesuit missionaries, pearl fishers, egg collectors, guano miners, hydrographers, cartographers, small-scale Mexican fishermen, recreational anglers, writers, photographers, ecotourists, shipwreck victims, and, most importantly, scientists. The final chapter documents the impact of this human activity on the islands’ ecosystems and examines conservation efforts now underway.

Compelling and richly illustrated, this broadly based work provides a unique picture of these extraordinary islands.

Thomas Bowen is emeritus professor at California State University, Fresno, and a research associate with the Southwest Center at the University of Arizona. His publications include Unknown Island (2000), The Record of Native People on Gulf of California Islands (2009), and Journal of a Voyage (2018), a translation of Federico Craveri’s account of his 1856 voyage in the Gulf.

“Bowen’s excitement for good science and hard data, field adventure, and wide-ranging conservation brings it all together through his splendid storytelling and narrative, all backed by his careful field journals. And it is all quite infectious.”

“From the very first pages, Bowen vividly paints a picture of this remote region of extreme beauty and isolation. Without recourse to equations or highly abstracted models, he deftly situates both the writing and the research behind it within robust bodies of cultural, natural, and historical theory. This work is of high importance in terms of both sheer volume and range of information about an understudied, underreported, and underrecognized region of North America.”

Exploring the Ancient Oceans of the Desert West

Frank DeCourten

A primer and guide to the Great Basin’s geological history

February 2022, 256 pp., 7 x 10 100 color Illustrations, 47 b/w illustrations eBook 978-1-64769-050-2 Paper 978-1-64769-049-6 $34.95

Many people appreciate the stunning vistas of the Great Basin desert; understanding the region’s geological past can provide a deeper way to know and admire this landscape.

In The Great Basin Seafloor, Frank DeCourten immerses readers in a time when the Basin was covered by a vast ocean in which volcanoes exploded and sea life flourished.

Written for a nontechnical audience, this book interprets the rock record left by more than 500 million years of oceanic activity, when mud and sand accumulated and solidified to produce today’s Great Basin across parts of modern Utah, Nevada, and California. DeCourten deciphers clues within exposed slopes and canyons to reconstruct the vanished seafloor and its volcanic events and examines fossils to reveal once-thriving ancient marine communities. Supplemental material is available online to serve as a field guide for readers wishing to explore this ancient ocean themselves as they travel through the region.

Frank DeCourten is a field geologist and researcher who has designed and led geological excursions and symposia for numerous scientific and natural history organizations, including the National Park Service and the National Association of Geoscience Teachers. Prior to his retirement in 2018, he was professor of earth science at Sierra College in California and previously served as museum curator and assistant director of the Utah Museum of Natural History. His books include Dinosaurs of Utah, The Broken Land, and The Roadside Geology of Nevada.

“This work is the most thorough and up-to-date treatment of the sedimentary rocks and associated geological events in the Great Basin published since DeCourten’s previous book, The Broken Land.

The book will be useful to general readers interested in western U.S. geology and natural history, as well as to outdoor enthusiasts who explore the mountains and valleys of the region.”

People in a Sea of Grass Archaeology’s Changing Perspective on Indigenous Plains Communities

Edited by Matthew E. Hill Jr. and Lauren W. Ritterbush

Examines the intellectual foundation of Plains archaeology through new methods, theories, excavations, and documentary discoveries

September 2021, 224 pp., 7 x 10 33 Illustrations, 15 maps eBook 978-1-64769-021-2 Hardcover 978-1-64769- 020-5 $60.00s

Ninety years ago Great Plains archaeologists such as Waldo Wedel and William Duncan Strong made foundational contributions to American archaeology, enabling new discoveries, insights, and interpretations. This volume explores how twenty-first-century archaeologists have built upon, remodeled, and sometimes rejected the inferences of these earlier scholars with updated overviews and analyses.

Contributors highlight how Indigenous Plains groups participated in large-scale social networks in which ideas, symbols, artifacts, and people moved across North America over the last 2,000 years. They also discuss cultural transformation, focusing on key demographic, economic, social, and ceremonial factors associated with change, including colonization and integration into the social and political economies of transatlantic societies.

Cultural traditions covered include Woodland-era Kansas City Hopewell, late prehistoric Central Plains tradition, and ancestral and early historic Wichita, Pawnee and Arikara, Kanza, Plains Apache, and Puebloan migrants.

As the first review of Plains archaeology in more than a decade, this book brings studies of early Indigenous peoples of the central and southern Plains into a new era.

Matthew E. Hill Jr. is associate professor of anthropology at University of Iowa. His research focuses on issues of human-environmental interactions of Native peoples in the Great Plains.

Lauren W. Ritterbush is professor of anthropology at Kansas State University. Her research focuses on indigenous and migrant farming and hunting societies in the central and northern Great Plains.

Explores place and placemaking in the American West through the archaeological study of the landscapes’ physical and cultural features

November 2021, 224 pp., 7 x 10 32 Illustrations, 14 maps eBook 978-1-64769-048-9 Hardcover 978-1-64769-047-2 $60.00s

Historical archaeologists explore landscapes in the American West through many lenses, including culture contact, colonialism, labor, migration, and identity. This volume sets landscape at the center of analysis, examining space (a geographic location) and place (the lived experience of a locale) in their myriad permutations. Divided into three thematic sections—the West as space, the West as community, and the West today—the book pulls together case studies from across the American West and incorporates multivocal contributions and perspectives from archaeology, anthropology, Indigenous studies, history, Latinx studies, geography, and material culture studies.

Contributors tackle questions of how historical archaeologists theoretically and methodologically define the West, conveying the historical, mythological, and physical manifestations of placemaking. They confront issues of community and how diverse ethnic, racial, gendered, labor-based, and other demographic populations expressed their identities on and in the Western landscape. Authors also address the continued creation and re-creation of the West today, exploring the impact of the past on people in the present and its influence on modern conceptions of the American West.

Emily Dale is a lecturer in the Department of Anthropology at Northern Arizona University. She was guest editor of a thematic issue of Kiva entitled “New Perspectives on the American Southwest: Historical Archaeology of the 1800s and 1900s.”

This volume is dedicated to studies of plainwares—the undecorated ceramics that make up the majority of prehistoric ceramic assemblages worldwide. Early analyses of ceramics focused on changes in decorative design elements to establish chronologies and cultural associations. With the development of archaeometric techniques that allow direct dating of potsherds and identification of their elemental composition and residues, plainwares now provide a new source of information about the timing, manufacture, distribution, and use of ceramics.

This book investigates plainwares from the far west, stretching into the Great Basin and the northwestern and southwestern edges of Arizona. Contributors use and explain recent analytical methods, including neutron activation, electron microprobe analysis, and thin-section optical mineralogy. They examine native ceramic traditions and how they were influenced by the Spanish mission system, and they consider the pros and cons of past approaches to ware typology, presenting a vision of how plainware analysis can be improved by ignoring the traditional “typological” approach of early ceramicists working with decorated wares.

This work provides a much-needed update to plainware studies, with new hypotheses and data that will help set the stage for future research.

Suzanne Griset is an archaeologist, ethnographer, and ceramics analyst for SWCA Environmental Consultants in Tucson, Arizona. She has worked for numerous federal agencies and was formerly head of the Collections Division at the Arizona State Museum. She edited Pottery of the Great Basin and Adjacent Areas.

“The applications and results of the variety of analytical methods reported in this volume are of substantial interest. The reader will be encouraged by the data to make use of these techniques. This work is important due to limited recent publications on current archaeological ceramic and analytic methods and results. It will invite future research.”

— Sue Wade, archaeologist/historian, owner Heritage Resources, Associate State Archaeologist CA State Parks retired

“There is a general feeling in the ceramics community in southern California and western Arizona that, at least related to the Lower Colorado and its brown ware equivalents, research has stalled in its progress with identifying meaningful theories about how the pottery equates to the actual people. Two problems that have become more apparent in the last couple of years are those of typologies and chronologies. This volume throws significant light on these issues.”

Intrasite Spatial Analysis of Mobile and Semisedentary Peoples

Analytical Approaches to Reconstructing Occupation History

Edited by Amy E. Clark and Joseph A. M. Gingerich

Provides a much-needed update on studies and new methodologies for intrasite spatial analysis

January 2022, 240 pp., 7 x 10 52 Illustrations, 4 maps eBook 978-1-64769-045-8 Hardcover 978-1-64769-044-1 $60.00s

Describing the nature and meaning of artifact spatial patterning can be highly subjective, yet many patterns can be quantified to create general models that are comparable across time periods and geographic space.

The authors employ various techniques in this endeavor, including large sample sizes, model-driven analyses of the ethnographic record, bone and lithic refitting, and a careful consideration of artifact attributes that elucidate spatial patterning. Such detailed analyses allow archaeologists to better interpret site formation processes and address large-scale anthropological questions.

This volume includes studies that span archaeological and ethnographic contexts, from highly mobile Paleoindian foragers to semi-sedentary preagriculturalists of the Epipaleolithic and modern pastoralists in Mongolia. The authors hold that commonalities in human behavior lead to similar patterns in the organization and maintenance of space by people. They present a series of ideas and approaches to make it easier to recognize universals in human behaviors, which allow archaeologists to better compare intrasite spatial patterns. The book creates a baseline for new intrasite spatial analyses in the twenty-first century.

Amy E. Clark is a college fellow and lecturer at Harvard University specializing in human behavioral evolution. Her work has been published in Evolutionary Anthropology, Current Anthropology, Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory, Journal of Anthropological Archaeology, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.

An Indian Captive in the House of Brigham Young

Virginia Kerns In this remarkable and deeply felt book, Virginia Kerns uncovers the singular and forgotten life of a young Indian woman who was captured in 1847 in what was then Mexican territory. Sold to a settler, a son-in-law of Brigham Young, the woman spent the next thirty years as a servant to Young’s family. Sally, as they called her, lived in the shadows, largely unseen. She was later remembered as a “wild” woman made “tame” who happily shed her past to enter a new and better life in civilization.

Drawing from a broad range of primary sources, Kerns retrieves Sally from obscurity and reconstructs her complex life before, during, and after captivity. This true story from the American past resonates deeply in the current moment, attentive as it is to killing epidemics and racial injustices. In telling Sally’s story, Kerns presents a new narrative of the American West.

FEATURED BACKLIST

Grand Teton National Park draws more than three million visitors annually in search of wildlife, outdoor adventure, solitude, and inspiration. This collection of writings showcases the park’s natural and human histories through stories of drama and beauty, tragedy and triumph.

Editor Robert Righter has selected thirty-five contributors whose work takes readers from the Tetons’ geological origins to the time of Euro-American encroachment and the park’s politically tumultuous creation. Selections range from Laine Thom’s Shoshone legend of the Snake River and Owen Wister’s essay “Great God! I’ve Just Killed a Bear,” to Grace Gallatin Seton-Thompson’s humorous yet fearful account of crossing the Snake River, and William Owen’s first attempt to climb the Grand Teton.

Conservationists, naturalists, and environmentalists are also represented: Terry Tempest Williams chronicles her multiyear encounter with her “Range of Memory,” and Olaus and Mardy Murie recount the difficulties of “park-making” in an often-hostile human environment.

The Geoarchaeology of a Terraced Landscape From Aztec Matlatzinco to Modern Calixtlahuaca

FEATURED BACKLIST

Aleksander Borejsza, Isabel Rodríguez López, Charles D. Frederick, and Michael E. Smith The toil of several million peasant farmers in Aztec Mexico transformed lakebeds and mountainsides into a checkerboard of highly productive fields. This book charts the changing fortunes of one Aztec settlement and its terraced landscapes from the twelfth to the twenty-first century.

It also follows the progress and missteps of a team of archaeologists as they piece together this story.

Exploiting the methodologies and techniques of several disciplines, the authors bring context to eight centuries of the region’s agrarian history, exploring the effects of the Aztec and Spanish Empires, reform, and revolution on the physical shape of the Mexican countryside and the livelihoods of its people. This well-illustrated and well-organized volume provides a step-by-step guide that can be applied to the study of terraced landscapes anywhere in the world.

Patagonian Prehistory Retracing Inca Steps Human Ecology and Cultural Evolution in the Land of Giants

Adventures in Andean Ethnoarchaeology

Raven Garvey

Dean E. Arnold

Generally portrayed as a windswept wasteland of marginal use for human habitation, Patagonia is an unmatched testing ground for some of the world’s most important questions about human ecology and cultural change. In this volume, archaeologist Raven Garvey presents a critical synthesis of Patagonian prehistory, bringing an evolutionary perspective and unconventional evidence to bear on enduringly contentious issues in New World archaeology, including initial human colonization of the Americas, widespread depopulation between 8,000 and 4,000 years ago, and the transition from foraging to farming.

Garvey’s novel hypotheses question common assumptions regarding Patagonia’s suitability for prehistoric hunter-gatherers. The broad trajectory of cultural change in Patagonia owes as much to feedback between population size and technology as to conditions in the rugged Patagonian outback itself.

Dean Arnold takes readers on a journey into the Andes, recounting the adventures of his 1960s research in the village of Quinua, Peru. Arnold’s quest to understand how contemporary pottery production reflected current Quinua society as well as its ancient Inca and pre-Inca past is one of the earliest studies in what later became known as ethnoarchaeology.

The first-person narrative reveals the challenges of living and working in another culture and the many obstacles one can encounter while doing field research. Arnold shares how his feelings of frustration and perceived failure led him to refocus his project, a shift that ultimately led to an entirely new perspective on pottery production in the Andes.

Masterfully weaving details about Peru’s geography, ecology, history, prehistory, and culture into his story, he also chronicles his change from small-town Midwesterner to a person of much broader vision, newly aware of his North American views and values.
