The Life and Legends of Calamity JaneBy Richard W. Etulain
Everyone knows the name Calamity Jane. Scores of dime novels and movie and TV
Westerns have portrayed this original Wild West woman as an adventuresome, gun-
toting hellion. Although Calamity Jane has probably been written about more thanany other woman of the nineteenth-century American West, fiction and legend have
largely obscured the facts of her life. This lively, concise, and exhaustively researched
biography traces the real person from the Missouri farm where she was born in
through the development of her notorious persona as a Wild West heroine.
Before Calamity Jane became a legend, she was Martha Canary, orphaned when she
was only eleven years old. From a young age she traveled fearlessly, worked with
men, smoked, chewed tobacco, and drank. By the time she arrived in the boomtown
of Deadwood, South Dakota, in , she had become Calamity Jane, and the real
Martha Canary had disappeared under a landslide of purple prose.
Calamity became a hostess and dancer in Deadwoods saloons and theaters. She
imbibed heavily, and she might have been a prostitute, but she had other qualities,
as well, including those of an angel of mercy who ministered to the sick and the
down-and-out. Journalists and dime novelists couldnt get enough of either version,
nor, in the following century, could filmmakers.
Sorting through the stories, veteran western historian Richard W. Etulains account
begins with a biography that offers new information on Calamitys several
husbands (including one she legally married), her two children, and a woman
who claimed to be the daughter of Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity, a story Etulain
discredits. In the second half of the book, Etulain traces the stories that have shaped
Calamity Janes reputation. Some Calamity portraits, he says, suggest that she
aspired to a quiet life with a husband and family. As the HBO series
Deadwoodmakes clear, well more than a century after her first appearance asa heroine in the Deadwood Dick dime novels, Calamity Jane lives onraunchy,
unabashed, contradictory, and ambiguous as ever.
Richard W. Etulain is Professor Emeritus of History and former director of the
Center for the American West at the University of New Mexico. Former editor
of the New Mexico Historical Review, he is the author or editor of more than
books, including Beyond the Missouri: The Story of the American Westand Telling
Western Stories: From Buffalo Bill to Larry McMurtry.

expansion, and industrial, economic,
and cultural development. This history
unfolds in compelling words and images
in A Legacy in Arms, a volume that draws
upon the collections of the National
Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in
Oklahoma City to trace the business andart of gun making from the early national
period to the turn of the twentieth century.
With more than imagesalmost all

documents the inspiration and innovation
of arms makers from individual artisans
to mass producers, but also describes the
development of decorative expression inthe gun makers art.
In an account both entertaining and
enlightening, Richard C. Rattenbury
details the development of commercial
arms making, from the genesis of the
Kentucky rifle to the arms of such iconic
manufacturers as Colt, Remington,
Smith & Wesson, Sharps, Marlin, and
Winchester. Into this narrative he weaves
the particulars of design evolution and
the impact of mass production via the
American System. The accompanyingphotographs and illustrations stand as
eloquent testimony to the range and
richness of the gun makers craftand
its rightful place in the story of American
industry and culture.

A Step toward Brown v. Board of EducationAda Lois Sipuel Fisher and Her Fight to End Segregation
By Cheryl Elizabeth Brown Wattley
In a young woman named Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher () was denied
admission to the University of Oklahoma College of Law because she was AfricanAmerican. The OU law school was an all-white institution in a town where
African Americans could work and shop as long as they got out before sundown.
But if segregation was entrenched in Norman, so was the determination of black
Oklahomans who had survived slavery to stake a claim in the territory. This was
the tradition that Ada Lois Sipuel sprang from, a tradition and determination that
would sustain her through the slow, tortuous path of litigation to gaining admission
to law school. A Step towardBrown v. Board of Educationthe first book to tell
Fishers full storyis at once an inspiring biography and a remarkable chapter in
the history of race and civil rights in America.
Cheryl Elizabeth Brown Wattley gives us a richly textured picture of the black-
and-white world from which Ada Lois Sipuel and her family emerged. Against this
Oklahoma background Wattley shows Sipuel (who married Warren Fisher a year
before she filed her suit) struggling against a segregated educational system. Her
legal battle is situated within the history of civil rights litigation and race-related
jurisprudence in the state of Oklahoma and in the nation. Hers was a test caseorganized by the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored
People) to go all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and, as precedent, strike
another blow against separate but equal public education.
Fisher served as both a litigant, with Thurgood Marshall for counsel, and, later, a
litigator; both a plaintiff and an advocate for the NAACP; and both a student and,
ultimately, a teacher of the very history shed help to write. In telling Fishers story,
Wattley also reveals a time and a place undergoing a profound transformationspurred by one courageous woman taking a bold step forward.
Cheryl Elizabeth Brown Wattley is Professor of Law and Director of Experiential
Learning at the University of North Texas, Dallas, College of Law. She began her
research of Fishers life and legal case while Professor of Law at the University of
Oklahoma.

ESTLEMANTHE
WISTERTRACE
The Wister TraceAssaying Classic Western Fiction
Second Edition
By Loren D. Estleman
A master practitioners view of his craft, this classic survey of the fiction of the
American West is part literary history, part criticism, and entertaining throughout.
The first edition of The Wister Tracewas published in , when Larry McMurtry
had just reinvented himself as a writer of Westerns and Cormac McCarthys career
had not yet taken off. Loren D. Estlemans long-overdue update connects these new
masters with older writers, assesses the genres past, present, and future, and takes
account of the renaissance of western movies, as well.
Estlemans title indicates the importance he assigns Owen Wisters classic,The Virginian. Wister was not the first writer of Westerns, but he defined the genre,
contrasting chivalry with the lawlessness of the border and introducing such lines
as When you call me that, smile! Estleman tips his hat to Wisters predecessors,
among them Ned Buntline, the inventor of the dime novel, and Buffalo Bill. His
assessments of Wisters successorsZane Grey, Walter Van Tilburg Clark, and Louis
LAmour, to name but threesoon make clear the impossibility of differentiating
great western writing from great American writing.
Especially important in this new edition is the attention to women writers. The
author devotes a chapter each to Dorothy Johnsonauthor of The Man Who Shot
Liberty Valanceand Annie Proulx, whose Wyoming stories include Brokeback
Mountain. In his discussion of movies, Estleman includes a list of film adaptations
that will guide readers to movies, and moviegoers to books. An appendix draws
readers attention to authors not covered elsewhere in the volumesome of them
old masters like Bret Harte and Jack London, but many of them fascinating outliers
ranging from Clifford Irving to Joe R. Lansdale.
Loren D. Estlemanis the award-winning author of nearly novels and hundreds
of short stories in the crime and Western genres, including his popular Amos Walker
and Page Murdock series.
A western writers guide to the best fiction on the American West

The Early Morning of WarBull Run, 1861
By Edward G. Longacre
When Union and Confederate forces squared off along Bull Run on July , ,
the Federals expected this first major military campaign would bring an early endto the Civil War. But when Confederate troops launched a strong counterattack,
both sides realized the war would be longer and costlier than anticipated. First Bull
Run, or First Manassas, set the stage for four years of bloody conflict that forever
changed the political, social, and economic fabric of the nation. It also introduced
the commanders, tactics, and weaponry that would define the American way of war
through the turn of the twentieth century.
This crucial campaign receives its most complete and comprehensive treatment inEdward G. Longacres The Early Morning of War.A magisterial work by a veteran
historian, The Early Morning of Warblends narrative and analysis to convey the
full scope of the campaign of First Bull Runits drama and suspense as well as its
practical and tactical underpinnings and ramifications. Also woven throughout are
biographical sketches detailing the backgrounds and personalities of the leading
commanders and other actors in the unfolding conflict.
Longacre has combed previously unpublished primary sources, including
correspondence, diaries, and memoirs of more than four hundred participants
and observers, from ranking commanders to common soldiers and civilians
affected by the fighting. In weighing all the evidence, Longacre finds correctives
to long-held theories about campaign strategy and battle tactics and questions
sacrosanct beliefssuch as whether the Manassas Gap Railroad was essential to the
Confederate victory. Longacre shears away the myths and persuasively examines the
long-term repercussions of the Unions defeat at Bull Run, while analyzing whether
the Confederates really had a chance of ending the war in July by seizingWashington, D.C.
Brilliant moves, avoidable blunders, accidents, historical forces, personal foibles: all
are within Longacres compass in this deftly written work that is sure to become the
standard history of the first, critical campaign of the Civil War.
Edward G. Longacreis a retired U.S. Department of Defense Historian and the
author of numerous articles and books on the Civil War and U.S. military history,
including The Cavalry at Gettysburg, winner of the Fletcher Pratt Award, andGentleman and Soldier: A Biography of Wade Hampton III, recipient of the
Douglas Southall Freeman History Award.

American Indians in U.S. HistorySecond Edition
By Roger L. Nichols
This concise survey, tracing the experiences of American Indians from their origins
to the present, has proven its value to both students and general readers in thedecade since its first publication. Now the second edition, drawing on the most
recent research, adds information about Indian social, economic, and cultural
issues in the twenty-first century. Useful features include new, brief biographies of
important Native figures, an overall chronology, and updated suggested readings for
each period of the past four hundred years.
The author traces tribal experiences through four eras: Indian America prior to the
European invasions; the colonial period; the emergence of the United States as thedominant power in North America and its subsequent invasion of Indian lands; and
the years from to the present. Nichols uses both Euro-American sources and
tribal stories to illuminate the problems Indian people and their leaders have dealt
with in every generation.

lvar Nez Cabeza de VacaAmerican Trailblazer
By Robin Varnum
In November , almost a century before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock,
the remnants of a Spanish expedition reached the Gulf Coast of Texas. By July, eight years later, lvar Nez Cabeza de Vaca (c. ) and three other
survivors had walked , miles from Texas, across northern Mexico, to Sonora
and ultimately to Mexico City. Cabeza de Vacas account of this astonishing journey
is now recognized as one of the great travel stories of all time and a touchstone
of New World literature. But his career did not begin and end with his North
American ordeal.Robin Varnums biography, the first single-volume cradle-to-grave
account of the explorers life in eighty years, tells the rest of the story.
During Cabeza de Vacas peregrinations through the American Southwest, he
lived among and interacted with various Indian groups. When he and his non-
Indian companions finally reconnected with Spaniards in northern Mexico, he was
horrified to learn that his compatriots were enslaving Indians there. His Relacin
() advocated using kindness and fairness rather than force in dealing with the
native people of the New World. Cabeza de Vaca went on to serve as governor of
Spains province of Ro de La Plata in South America (roughly modern Paraguay).
As a loyal subject of the king of Spain, he supported the colonialist enterpriseand believed in Christianizing the Indians, but he always championed the rights
of native peoples. In Ro de La Plata he tried to keep his men from robbing
the Indians, enslaving them, or exploiting them sexuallypolicies that caused
grumbling among the troops. When Cabeza de Vacas men mutinied, he was sent
back to Spain in chains to stand trial before the Royal Council of the Indies.
Drawing on the conquistadors own reports and on other sixteenth-century
documents, both in English translation and the original Spanish, Varnums livelynarrative braids eyewitness testimony of events with historical interpretation
benefiting from recent scholarship and archaeological investigation. As one of the

CHVEZTHEKINGANDQUEEN
OFCOMEZN
The King and Queen of ComeznBy Denise Chvez
Comezn:Its more than an itch. Its a long-standing desire that will never be
fulfilled. And, in this novel by award-winning author Denise Chvez, it is also a
border town in New Mexico whose denizens longings are as powerful as they are,all too often, impossible.
But in the feverish dance of life that seizes Comezn during its two annual fiestas,
all things seem possible. As the townspeople revel in the freedom of the fiestas, their
stories unfold in all manner of mystery, drama, and comic charm. In the middle
of it all is Arnulfo P. Olivrez, master of ceremonies and befuddled patriarch of a
less-than-tractable family. At the moment, he is calculating his chances of becoming
mayor, as well as pondering the fate of his beautiful disabled daughter, Juliana.
Arnulfos daughters (the half and the whole, he deems them) are the Fiesta
Queen, Lucinda, a lovely, lost and wild girl, and Juliana, her half sister, wheelchair-
bound but with soaring dreams of love for the local priest, El Padre Manolito.
Their mother, the saintly Doa Emilia, attends to all her children, including Arnulfo,
with grace. Lucindas unsuitable suitor, Ruley Terrazas, a tall, bumpy-skinned boy,
is not to be trusted, nor is his father, Cuco Matamosca Terrazas, the local chief
of police. And Rey Surez, owner of the Mil Recuerdos Lounge, is haunted by his
former incarnation as an immigration officer, an expert in spotting fake IDs.
Between New Mexico and Mxico, between Cinco de Mayo and the th of
September, between the dreams and the realities of Comezns characters, something
has to give. Each character is attempting to find love in this feverish fiesta called
Life. And in the deft hands of Denise Chvez this tragicomic novel gives unerringly:
pleasure, surprise, and the satisfaction of a tale well told.
Denise Chvez is author of The Last of the Menu Girls, Face of an Angel, Loving
Pedro Infante, and A Taco Testimony: Meditations on Family, Food, and Culture.
She serves as Executive Director of the Border Book Festival in Las Cruces, New
Mexico.
A mystery love story set on the U.S.-Mexico border

This is a book for everyone who has ever loved, for everyone
who has grieved, and for everyone who has ever hoped, in
the darkest night, that what is essential goes on. . . . I love
this book, and you will, too.Luis Alberto Urrea,author of

Part memoir, part poetry, all heart, The Old Mans Love Story
questions life, love, death, eternity and all parts in between. . . .A must read.Roundup Magazine
There was an old man who dwelt in the land of New Mexico,
and he lost his wife. From this opening line, Rudolfo Anaya
crafts a tender novella at once universal and deeply personal.
The narrator, a writer, shares intimate thoughts about his wife,
their life together, and her death.
The old mans story captures the heartaches and ironies of oldage as he proceeds through days of grief and memory. He talks
with his wife along the way. A year passes. He longs to care for
someone, butto love again?
Anayas reflections point to the power and importance of love
at every stage of life. Lyrical and earthy, sad yet suffused with
humor,The Old Mans Love Storywill speak to all readers,
especially those who have loved and lost.
Rudolfo Anayais Professor Emeritus of English at the
University of New Mexico. He has received numerous literary
awards, including the Premio Quinto Sol and a National Medal
of Arts. Anaya resides in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The genius of Bud Wilkinson as a football coach becomes
apparent in these remarkable letters to his son Jay. . . . He
treated his players like family members, and it showed.Barry
Switzer, former head coach, University of Oklahoma and Dallas
Cowboys
College football fans need no introduction to Bud Wilkinson,
but few know the great University of Oklahoma football coach
as a devoted father. In Dear Jay, Love Dad, Buds son Jay shares
forty-seven letters his father wrote to him while he was in
college and graduate school. Spanning the early to mid-s,
these letters reveal Buds deep love for his son, as well as the
philosophy and values that led to his remarkable success in
sports and in life.
Beginning with the first letter Bud wrote when Jay left home,
this collection shows a father guiding his son toward his own
path while stressing the importance of service to others. He
mixes encouragement with intellectual discussions, and he writes
about his own challenges. Bud Wilkinsons thoughts on ethics
in business and politics are as inspiring today as when he wrote
them a half-century ago.

A new standard sourcebook and chronology of New Mexico
events of the past years.True West
Since the earliest days of Spanish exploration and settlement,
New Mexico has been known for lying off the beaten track.
But this new history reminds readers that the world has been
beating paths to New Mexico for hundreds of years, via the
Camino Real, Santa Fe Trail, railroads, Route , interstatehighway system, and now the Internet.
The first complete history of New Mexico in more than a
generation, this volume begins with prehistoric cultures, then
traces the states growth from the arrival of Spanish explorers
in the sixteenth century to the statehood centennial. This
book shows that the transformation from frontier territory
to modern state really began not with statehood, but during
World War II, when Atomic Era technological advancementspropelled New Mexico to the forefront of scientific research.
Covering the states historical and cultural geography; the
economics of mining and ranching, irrigation and agriculture;
and the impact of Native activism and tribe-owned casinos,
New Mexico: A Historyis a vital source for anyone seeking to
understand the land and its people.

In , a Canadian Blackfoot known as Spopee, or Turtle,
shot and killed a white man. Captured as a fugitive, Spopee
narrowly escaped execution, landing in an insane asylum in
Washington, D.C., where he fell silent. Spopee disappeared
for more than thirty years, until a delegation of AmericanBlackfeet discovered him and, aided by the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs, exacted a pardon from President Woodrow
Wilson. After re-emerging into society like a modern-day
Rip Van Winkle, Spopee spent the final year of his life on
the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana, in a world that had
changed irrevocably.
Blackfoot Redemptionis the riveting account of Spopees
haunting story. In revealing both certainties and ambiguitiesin Spopees story, William E. Farr relates a larger story about
racial dynamics and prejudice, while poignantly evoking the
turbulent final days of the buffalo-hunting Indians before their
confinement, loss of freedom, and confusion that came with the
wrenching transition to reservation life.

The Second Pearl HarborThe West Loch Disaster, May 21, 1944
By Gene Salecker
In May , with American forces closing in on the Japanese mainland, the Fifth
Fleet Amphibious Force was preparing to invade Saipan. Control of this islandwould put enemy cities squarely within range of the B- bomber. The navy had
assembled a fleet of landing ship tanks (LSTs) in the West Loch section of Pearl
Harbor. On May , an explosion tore through the calm afternoon sky, spreading
fire and chaos through the ordnance-packed vessels. When the fires had been
brought under control, six LSTs had been lost, many others were badly damaged,
and more than military personnel had been killed or injured. To ensure the
success of those still able to depart for the invasionmiraculously, only one day
latethe navy at once issued a censorship order, which has kept this disaster frompublic scrutiny for seventy years.
The Second Pearl Harboris the first book to tell the full story of what happened on
that fateful day. Military historian Gene Salecker recounts the events and conditions
leading up to the explosion, then re-creates the drama directly afterward: men
swimming through flaming oil, small craft desperately trying to rescue the injured,
and subsequent explosions throwing flaming debris everywhere. With meticulous
attention to detail the author explains why he and other historians believe thatthe official explanation for the cause of the explosion, that a mortar shell was
accidentally detonated, is wrong.
This in-depth account of a little-known incident adds to our understanding of
the dangers during World War II, even far from the front, and restores a missing
chapter to history.
Gene Eric Saleckeris a military historian whose published work includes Disaster on
the Mississippi: The SultanaExplosion, April , and Blossoming Silk against
the Rising Sun: U.S. and Japanese Paratroopers in the Pacific in World War II.
Chronicles a series of unexpected explosions at Pearl
Harbor on the eve of the Saipan invasion

WARRENCONNECTICUTUNSCATHED
Connecticut UnscathedVictory in the Great Narragansett War, 16751676
By Jason W. Warren
The conflict that historians have called King Philips War still ranks as one of the
bloodiest per capita in American history. An Indian coalition ravaged much of NewEngland, killing six hundred colonial fighting men (not including their Indian allies),
obliterating seventeen white towns, and damaging more than fifty settlements.
The version of these events that has come down to us focuses on Plymouth and
Massachusetts Baythe colonies whose commentators dominated the storytelling.
But because Connecticut lacked a chronicler, its experience has gone largely untold.
As Jason W. Warren makes clear in Connecticut Unscathed, this imbalance has
generated an incomplete narrative of the war.
Dubbed King Philips War after the Wampanoag architect of the hostilities, the
conflict, Warren asserts, should more properly be called the Great Narragansett
War, broadening its context in time and place and indicating the critical role of the
Narragansetts, the largest tribe in southern New England. With this perspective,
Warren revises a key chapter in colonial history. In contrast to its sister colonies,
Connecticut emerged from the war relatively unharmed. The colonys comparatively
moderate Indian policies made possible an effective alliance with the Mohegans
and Pequots. These Indian allies proved crucial to the colonys war effort,Warren contends, and at the same time denied the enemy extra manpower and
intelligence regarding the surrounding terrain and colonial troop movements. And
when Connecticut became the primary target of hostile Indian forcesespecially
the powerful Narragansettsthe colonys military prowess and its enlightened
treatment of Indians allowed it to persevere.
Connecticuts experience, properly understood, affords a new perspective on the Great
Narragansett Warand a reevaluation of its place in the ongoing conflict between theNarragansetts and the Mohegans of Connecticut, and in American history.
MajorJason W. Warren, U.S. Army, received his doctorate in history from The Ohio
State University and served as an Assistant Professor of History at West Point. He is
currently a strategist at the Army War College.
