Paleontology/Archaeology

Extinct Mammals and the Archaeology of the Ice Age Great Basin Donald K. Grayson

A

s the Ice Age came to an end, North America lost a stunning variety of animals. Mammoths, mastodons,

ground-dwelling sloths the size of elephants, beavers the size of bears, pronghorn antelope the size of poodles, llamas, and carnivores to chase them—sabertooth cats, dire wolves, American lions and cheetahs; these and many more were gone by 10,000 years ago.

Giant Sloths and Sabertooth Cats surveys all these animals, with a particular focus on the Great Basin. It also explores the major attempts to explain the extinctions. Because some believe that they were due to the activities of human hunters, the author also reviews the archaeological evidence

Western History/Biography

Cass Hite

The Life of an Old Prospector James H. Knipmeyer

I

n the late 1800s and early 1900s, Cass Hite was a wellknown prospector in the Glen Canyon area of southern

Utah. He lived as a recluse yet knew most of the river runners, trekkers, cowboys, and Native Americans that passed through the region. He often wrote to newspapers and was in turn sought out by reporters for his vibrant comments. Hite followed the trail of gold and silver to destinations throughout the West—a time recounted in a memoir he penned in rhyming verse. After his death, his name remained prominent in the region; the nearby Hite Marina has kept his name in the public eye for thousands of boaters.

Despite this notoriety, no one has written a full-length, scholarly account of Hite’s life. This biography fills that void, detailing Hite’s story from his birth in central Illinois in 1845 to his death in Glen Canyon in 1914. It corrects some of the accepted stories about Hite and puts others in their

of photographs and excerpts from Hite’s own writing further illuminate this colorful prospector’s life.

Missouri native JAMES KNIPMEYER has been hiking and backpacking in southern Utah and northern Arizona for over fifty years and has published numerous articles about the region’s history. His books include Butch Cassidy: Historic Inscriptions of the Colorado Plateau; In Search of a Lost Race: The Illustrated American Exploring Expedition of 1892; and Joe Duckett: The Hermit of Montezuma Canyon.

Western History/Creative Nonfiction

A Story of Exploration, Murder, and Mystery in the American West Scott Thybony

I

n 1935, three people went missing on separate occasions in the rugged canyon country of southeastern Utah.

A thirteen-year-old girl, Lucy Garrett, was tricked into heading west with the man who had murdered her father under the pretense of reuniting with him. At the same time, a search was underway for Dan Thrapp, a young scientist on leave from the American Museum of Natural History. Others were scouring the same region for an artist, Everett Ruess, who had disappeared into “the perfect labyrinth.”

Intrigued by this unusual string of coincidental disappearances, Scott Thybony set out to learn what happened. He traced the journey of Lucy Garrett from the murder of her father to her dramatic courtroom testimony.

Alma Richards, Olympian Larry R. Gerlach

A

lma Richards, as an unsung high school student, set an Olympic record for the high jump in the 1912 Stockholm

Olympics. He was the only native Utahn and member of the LDS Church to win an Olympic gold medal in the twentieth century. After a stellar collegiate track career that saw him lead Cornell to three national championships, Richards for two decades reigned as America’s most accomplished track and field athlete, winning national titles in five different events. Despite his prominence in the history of American sports, this is the first treatment of his athletic career and personal life.

More than a century has passed since Alma Richards won an Olympic gold medal, yet this story about man and sport—the drive to excel, victory as validation of hard work, and the quest for public recognition and self-identity still resonates today.

Mormon Studies / Biography

Gregory A. Prince

L

eonard Arrington is considered by many the foremost twentieth-century historian of Mormonism. But

Arrington’s career was not without controversy. Gregory Prince takes an in-depth look at this respected historian and, in telling his story, gives readers insight into the workings of the LDS Church in the late twentieth century.

In 1972, Arrington was asked to serve as the official church historian, becoming the only professional historian to hold that title. The shift of historiography from faith promotion to scholarly research and professional analysis was unacceptable to some powerful senior apostles. In 1980 the History Division was disassembled and moved to Brigham Young University, where Arrington’s broad influence on Mormon history remained strong.

The most comprehensive biography of Leonard Arrington to date—a story of scholarship and controversy This biography is the first to draw upon the remarkable Arrington diaries (over 20,000 pages) and it is supplemented

by Prince’s interviews with more than 100 people who knew Arrington. The book provides background to continuing LDS struggles with member scholars, while illuminating the life of one prominent intellectual.

GREGORY A. PRINCE earned doctorate degrees in dentistry (DDS) and pathology (PhD) at UCLA and then pursued a four-decade career in pediatric infectious disease research. His interest in history led him to write several dozen articles and book chapters and three books, including Power from on High: The Development of Mormon Priesthood and the award-winning David O. McKay and the Rise of Modern Mormonism, coauthored with Wm. Robert Wright (University of Utah Press, 2005).

Mormonism and the Making of a British Zion Matthew Lyman Rasmussen

M

ormonism in Britain began in the late 1830s with the arrival of American missionaries from the Church

of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Not long afterward, thousands of British converts emigrated to Utah and became a kind of lifeblood for the early Mormon Church. England’s North West, where Mormonism had its strongest presence, has become a place of profound significance to the church, yet its early importance to Mormonism has never been fully explored. Matthew Rasmussen’s detailed account examines how Mormonism has changed and endured in Britain.

After many British believers left for America, church membership in England fell so sharply that the movement in Britain seemed to be on the brink of collapse. Yet British Mormonism gradually rebuilt and continues today. How did this religious minority flourish when so many nineteenth-

This engaging and seminal volume employs vivid primary documents, candid surveys, and illuminating oral histories to explore the perspectives of Latter-day Saint women. Contributors include lay members and prominent scholars in multiple disciplines, including both LDS and non-LDS viewpoints.

Neither a survey of the field nor a mere recapitulation of dominant themes, this volume charts areas for exploration and modes of inquiry that reflect the maturation of the field and help set the agenda for the next generation of Mormon studies scholarship.

Between Turkish Ethnicity and Islamic Identity Umut Uzer

T

urkish nationalism erupted onto the world stage in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as first

Greeks, then Armenians and other minority groups within the Ottoman Empire began to assert national identity and seek independence. Umut Uzer examines the ideological evolution and transformation of Turkish nationalism from its early precursors to its contemporary protagonists.

Through a textual analysis of nationalist writings, this volume considers how political developments influenced Turkish nationalism. It tackles the question of how an ideology that began as a revolutionary, progressive, forward-looking ideal eventually transformed into one that is conservative, patriarchal, and nostalgic about the Ottoman and Islamic past. Between Islamic and Turkish Identity is the first book in any language to comprehensively analyze

The ideological odyssey of Turkish nationalism and its ties to the political history of modern Turkey Turkish nationalism with such scope and engagement with primary sources, dissecting the phenomenon in all its manifestations.

Poetry

Davis McCombs

D

rawn from the rich folk traditions of his native Kentucky as well as the folklore of his adopted Ozark

Mountains of Arkansas, the poems in Davis McCombs’s third collection exist along the fraught lines where nature and agriculture collide or in those charged moments where modernity intrudes on an archaic world. These poems celebrate out-of-the-way places, the lore of plants, wild animals and their unknowable lives, and nearly forgotten ways of being and talking and doing. Rendered in a language of great lexical juxtapositions, here are days of soil and labor, nights lit only by firelight, and the beings, possibly not of this world, lured like moths to a flame. McCombs, always a poet of place and of rootedness, writes poems teetering between two locales, one familiar but achingly distant, one bewildering but alluringly present.

Winner of the 2015 Agha Shahid Ali Poetry Prize DAVIS MCCOMBS is the author of two previous collections of poetry. His first book, Ultima Thule, was chosen by W. S. Merwin as the winner of the 1999 Yale Series of Younger Poets. It was also a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award. His second book, Dismal Rock, was awarded the Dorset Prize, the Eric Hoffer Award, and the Kentucky Literary Award.

McCombs directs the Program in Creative Writing and Translation at the University of Arkansas.

Here are the caves and petroglyphs, the widows and children and workers, the animals of legend and the animals of the fields. Unwavering precision is a hallmark of McCombs’s lore, descriptive, figurative, tonal, emotional: all of poetry’s rooms are lit by his lyric accuracy. ” —Linda Bierds, author of Roget’s Illusion

Zooarchaeology and Field Ecology A Photographic Atlas

Jack M. Broughton and Shawn D. Miller This photographic atlas, developed over twenty years of teaching in the field, expedites the work of the zooarchaeologist by integrating both osteology and wildlife ecology into a single volume. Zooarchaeology, the study of animal remains found at archaeological sites, is interdisciplinary in nature, requiring students and researchers to not only master the technical skills of identifying fragmentary bones and teeth but also of developing a deep understanding of the taxonomy, natural history, behavior, and ecology of the species identified.

Until now, these topics have always been treated separately.

f extant languages, Ch’orti’ Mayan is the closest to ancient Maya hieroglyphic script, but it is a language

that is decreasing in usage. In southern Guatemala where it is spoken, many children no longer learn it, as Spanish now dominates most experiences. From linguistic and anthropological data gathered over many years, Kerry Hull has created the largest and most complete Ch’orti’ Mayan dictionary to date. With nearly 9,000 entries, this trilingual dictionary of Ch’orti’, Spanish, and English preserves ancient words and concepts that were vital to this culture in the past.

Additionally, extensive cultural and linguistic annotations accompany many entries, providing detailed looks into Ch’orti’ daily life, mythology, flora and fauna, healing, ritual, and food.

ranslating professional archaeological research into meaningful and thoughtful educational experiences

This book presents eight case studies by professional archaeologists who discuss innovative approaches and advances in research methodology while examining the myriad challenges associated with interpreting this work for the public. Each study focuses on a particular Native American bison-kill site and shares the unique path from archaeological investigation to the creation of a public interpretive facility. Collectively they comprise a comprehensive exploration of the multifaceted linkages between archaeological research and public education— ranging in scope from the interrelationships of an interpretive facility with its surrounding communities to the

he study of the last remaining Ute wickiups, or brush shelters, along with the historic artifacts found with them

has revealed an understudied chapter of Native American history—the early years of contact with European invaders and the final years of Ute sovereignty. Ephemeral Bounty is the result of this research and its findings on the protohistoric and early historic Ute Indians of Colorado.

The Colorado Wickiup Project has documented ephemeral wooden features such as wickiups, tree platforms, and brush horse corrals that remain scattered throughout the mesas, canyons, and mountains of the state.

They date from European newcomers.

An archaeological study of ephemeral wooden structures reveals new information on the final chapter of autonomous Ute history in Colorado The project is unique in using metal detection, historic trade ware analysis, and tree-ring dating of metal ax–cut wickiup poles to distinguish the Ute sites from historic Euro–American ones. Researchers have demonstrated that
