Why it took the Land of Enchantment so long to gain admission to the Union

forty-seventh starnew Mexico’s struggle for statehood

by David v. holtby

“The most complete, original, readable, and lively account of the sixty-year struggle

between pro-statehood leaders and equally powerful anti-statehood forces, both in

New Mexico and Washington, D.C., that I have ever read.”—Howard R. Lamar, Professor Emeritus of History, Yale University

New Mexico was ceded to the United States in 1848, at the end of the war

with Mexico, but not until 1912 did President William Howard Taft sign the

proclamation that promoted New Mexico from territory to state. Why did New

Mexico’s push for statehood last sixty-four years? Conventional wisdom has it

that racism was solely to blame. But this fresh look at the history finds a more

complex set of obstacles, tied primarily to self-serving politicians. Forty-Seventh

Star, published in New Mexico’s centennial year, is the first book on its quest for

statehood in more than forty years.

David V. Holtby closely examines the final stretch of New Mexico’s tortuous road

to statehood, beginning in the 1890s. His deeply researched narrative juxtaposes

events in Washington, D.C., and in the territory to present the repeated collisions

between New Mexicans seeking to control their destiny and politicians opposing

them, including Republican U.S. senators Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana and

Nelson W. Aldrich of Rhode Island. Holtby places the quest for statehood in

national perspective while examining the territory’s political, economic, and social

development. He shows how a few powerful men brewed a concoction of racism,

cronyism, corruption, and partisan politics that poisoned New Mexicans’ efforts to

join the Union. Drawing on extensive Spanish-language and archival sources, the

author also explores the consequences that the drive to become a state had for New

Mexico’s Euro-American, Nuevomexicano, American Indian, African American, and

Asian communities.

Holtby offers a compelling story that shows why and how home rule mattered—

then and now—for New Mexicans and for all Americans.

David V. Holtby is retired as the Associate Director and Editor in Chief of

University of New Mexico Press. He wrote this book while a research scholar at the

Center for Regional Studies at UNM. He has published numerous articles on the

social origins of the Spanish Civil War.

One of the most important collections

of modern Native American art as-

sembled by one individual, the James T.

Bialac Native American Art Collection

is an encyclopedic compilation of easel

paintings and three-dimensional works.

Showcased in this stunning catalogue, the

collection comprises nearly four thousand

items, including drawings, sculptures,

prints, kachinas, jewelry, ceramics, rattles,

baskets, and textiles.

James T. Bialac began collecting art in

the 1950s, when he was a student at the

University of Arizona School of Law. It

was then that he purchased the first of

what would develop into a collection of

more than one thousand kachina dolls.

In 1964 he acquired his first painting,

Robert Chee’s Moccasin Game, and

he went on to expand his collection to

reflect the diversity of Native American

art forms. Inspired by his connections

with other collectors, Bialac learned the

importance of documenting, cataloging,

and preserving his collection. In 2010 he

bequeathed the collection to the Univer-

sity of Oklahoma, where the art will be

displayed at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum

of Art, as well as at other locations,

including Bialac’s native Arizona.

The Bialac Collection represents indig-

enous cultures across North America,

especially the Pueblos of the Southwest,

Navajos, Hopis, and many of the tribes

of the Great Plains. It encompasses such

important and innovative artists as Fred

Kabotie, Alfonso Roybal, Fritz Scholder,

Joe Hilario Herrera, Allan Houser, Jerome

Tiger, Tonita Peña, Helen Hardin, Pablita

Velarde, George Morrison, Walter Richard

“Dick” West, and Patrick DesJarlait, all of

whose work is featured in this volume.

Along with its rich sampling of works

from the Bialac Collection, this catalogue

offers informative essays by art historians,

who draw on their areas of expertise to

explain the significance of the artwork.

The volume also features a foreword by

David L. Boren, President of the Univer-

sity of Oklahoma, a preface by Ghislain

d’Humières, Director of the Fred Jones Jr.

Museum of Art, and an introduction by

Mary Jo Watson, Director of the School

of Art and Art History.

the block captain’s Daughterby Demetria martínez

Guadalupe Anaya, a waitress, is pregnant. She is also the newly elected block

captain of Sunflower Street, in charge of raising awareness of safety in her southeast

Albuquerque neighborhood. Her campaign platform: God helps those who help

themselves. While she waits for the baby, Lupe writes letters to her unborn child,

whom she names Destiny. It is Lupe’s dream that her daughter will be a writer,

pushing a pen instead of a broom.

In this highly imaginative work of fiction by the acclaimed author of Mother

Tongue, Demetria Martínez weaves a portrait of six unforgettable characters, whose

lives intertwine through their activism as they seek to create a better world and

find meaning in their own lives. At the center of this circle of friends is Lupe, and

her heartfelt letters to Destiny punctuate the narrative. Until she crossed the border

alone and without papers, Lupe worked in a maquiladora in Mexico. Rescued by

strangers, she has made a family for herself among the kindhearted friends, swept

up in various causes, who will be her daughter’s godparents.

Deftly alternating between first-person and second-person narratives, conscious

states and dream states, The Block Captain’s Daughter is full of delightful surprises,

even as it deals with universal themes of desire and risk, death and birth, and the

powerful ties that bind us all together.

Demetria Martínez is an award-winning author and activist. Her many publications

include Confessions of a Berlitz-Tape Chicana and Mother Tongue. A resident of

Albuquerque, she is the 2011 recipient of the Luis Leal Award for Distinction in

Chicano/Latino Literature.

A unique retelling of the Custer saga and its aftermath—from a medical perspective

Deliverance from the little big horndoctor henry porter and Custer’s seventh Cavalry

by Joan nabseth stevenson

Of the three surgeons who accompanied Custer’s Seventh Cavalry on June 25,

1876, only the youngest, twenty-eight-year-old Henry Porter, survived that day’s

ordeal, riding through a gauntlet of Indian attackers and up the steep bluffs to

Major Marcus Reno’s hilltop position. But the story of Dr. Porter’s wartime exploits

goes far beyond the battle itself. In this compelling narrative of military endurance

and medical ingenuity, Joan Nabseth Stevenson opens a new window on the Battle

of the Little Big Horn by re-creating the desperate struggle for survival during the

fight and in its wake.

As Stevenson recounts in gripping detail, Porter’s life-saving work on the battlefield

began immediately, as he assumed the care of nearly sixty soldiers and two Indian

scouts, attending to wounds and performing surgeries and amputations. He

evacuated the critically wounded soldiers on mules and hand litters, embarking on

a hazardous trek of fifteen miles that required two river crossings, the scaling of

a steep cliff, and a treacherous descent into the safety of the steamboat Far West,

waiting at the mouth of the Little Big Horn River. There began a harrowing 700-

mile journey along the Yellowstone and Missouri Rivers to the post hospital at Fort

Abraham Lincoln near Bismarck, Dakota Territory.

With its new insights into the role and function of the army medical corps and

the evolution of battlefield medicine, this unusual book will take its place both

as a contribution to the history of the Great Sioux War and alongside such vivid

historical novels as Son of the Morning Star and Little Big Man. It will also ensure

that the selfless deeds of a lone “contract” surgeon—unrecognized to this day by the

U.S. government—will never be forgotten.

Joan Nabseth Stevenson, an independent scholar, holds a Ph.D. in Slavic Languages

and Literature from Stanford University. The daughter of a vascular surgeon, she

lives with her husband, a neonatologist, in Los Altos Hills, California.

Wyoming range Warthe Infamous Invasion of

Johnson County

by John W. Davis

A look at the real heroes and villains of a legendary conflict

Wyoming attorney John W. Davis retells the story of the West’s most notorious range war. Having delved more deeply than previous writers into land and census records, newspapers, and trial transcripts, Davis has produced an all-new interpretation. He looks at the conflict from the perspective of Johnson County residents—those whose home territory was invaded and many of whom the invaders targeted for murder—and finds that, contrary to the received explanation, these people were not thieves and rustlers but legitimate citizens.

The broad outlines of the conflict are familiar: some of Wyoming’s biggest cattlemen hire two-dozen Texas cowboys and, with range detectives and prominent members of the Wyoming Stock Growers Association, “invade” north-central Wyoming to clean out rustlers and other undesirables. While the invaders kill two suspected rustlers, citizens mobilize and eventually turn the tables, surrounding the intruders at a ranch where they intend to capture them by force. An appeal for help convinces President Benjamin Harrison to call out the army from nearby Fort McKinley, and the soldiers arrive just in time to stave off the invaders’ annihilation. Taken prisoner, they later avoid prosecution.

The cattle barons’ powers of persuasion in justifying their deeds have colored accounts of the war for more than a century. Wyoming Range War tells a compelling story that redraws the lines between heroes and villains.

John W. Davis resides in Worland, Wyoming. He is author of A Vast Amount of Trouble: A History of the Spring Creek

Raid and Goodbye, Judge Lynch: The End of a Lawless Era in

Wyoming’s Big Horn Basin.

the mormon rebellionamerica’s first Civil war,

1857–1858

by David l. bigler and

Will bagley

America’s first civil war played out in the Far West

In 1857 President James Buchanan ordered U.S. troops to Utah to replace Brigham Young as governor and restore order in what the federal government viewed as a territory in rebellion. In this compelling narrative, award-winning authors David L. Bigler and Will Bagley use long-suppressed sources to show that—contrary to common perception—the Mormon rebellion was not the result of Buchanan’s “blunder,” nor was it a David-and-Goliath tale in which an abused religious minority heroically defied the imperial ambitions of an unjust and tyrannical government. They argue that Mormon leaders had their own far-reaching ambitions and fully intended to establish an independent nation—the Kingdom of God—in the West.

Long overshadowed by the Civil War, this conflict involved a tense and protracted clash pitting Brigham Young’s Nauvoo Legion against Colonel Albert Sidney Johnston and the U.S. Army’s Utah Expedition. A rich exploration of events and forces that presaged the Civil War, The Mormon Rebellion broadens our understanding of both antebellum America and Utah’s frontier theocracy and offers a challenging reinterpretation of a controversial chapter in Mormon annals.

David L. Bigler, former director of the Utah Board of State History, is an independent historian whose books include Forgotten Kingdom: The Mormon Theocracy in the American

West, 1847–1896. Will Bagley, an independent historian of the West, is the author of numerous books, including Blood

of the Prophets: Brigham Young and the Mountain Meadows

Massacre and So Rugged and Mountainous: Blazing the Trails

shooting from the lipthe life of senator al simpson

by Donald loren hardy

An unvarnished account of the American statesman known for his outspokenness, credibility, and willingness to rise above politics

“Shooting from the Lip is refreshingly funny and irreverent—and never more timely than now, when the nation is once again turning to Simpson for straight talk about government spending.” —Andrea Mitchell, Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent,

NBC News

Shortly before Wyoming’s Alan K. Simpson was elected majority whip of the United States Senate, he decided to keep a journal. “I am going to make notes when I get home in the evening, as to what happened during each day.” Now the senator’s longtime chief of staff, Donald Loren Hardy, has drawn extensively on Simpson’s personal papers and nineteen-volume diary to write this unvarnished account of a storied life and political career. Full of entertaining tales and moments of historical significance, Shooting

from the Lip offers a privileged and revealing backstage view of late-twentieth-century American politics.

Hardy’s rich anecdotal account reveals the roles Simpson played during such critical events as the Iran-Contra scandal and Clarence Thomas’s confirmation hearings. It divulges the senator’s candid views of seven American presidents and scores of other national and world luminaries. Simpson is a politician unfettered by partisanship. Among President George H. W. Bush’s closest compatriots, he was also a close friend and admirer of Senator Ted Kennedy and was never afraid to publicly challenge the positions or tactics of fellow lawmakers, Democratic and Republican alike.

Donald Loren Hardy served for eighteen years as Senator Alan K. Simpson’s Press Secretary and Chief of Staff, then served as Director of Government Affairs at the Smithsonian Institution. Retired, he now engages in humanitarian efforts overseas and resides with his wife Rebecca in Montana.

blue heavena novel

by Willard Wyman

A legendary packer learns his craft—and comes of age—in the high mountains of Montana

The year is 1902. A young stock-handler named Fenton Pardee has just survived the train wreck that almost destroyed William F. Cody’s Wild West show. Surveying the train’s smoldering ruins—and what is left of Cody’s company of stunt-riders, trick-shooters, and stage actors—Fenton realizes that turning the West into a circus to thrill the world is no longer thrilling for him. Salvaging a saddle horse and three pack mules, he heads back into the West, seeking the reality of the Montana Rockies.

Blue Heaven marks the return of Fenton Pardee, veteran guide and packer, who figured so memorably in High Country, Willard Wyman’s highly acclaimed first novel. Now Wyman moves back in time, filling in the story of the legendary packer. As he begins his westward journey, Fenton is not nearly as sure of where he is going as of what he wants to leave. Crossing the National Divide, he follows Indian trails and game trails, learning the lay of the land as he moves into a wilderness that comforts him as it draws him ever deeper into it. Stumbling into the camp of Tommy Yellowtail, a Flathead Indian as determined to remain in these mountains as Fenton is to embrace them, he finally finds his way.

Willard Wyman, has been a wrangler, guide, and packer for more than forty years. A former literature instructor and dean at Colby College and Stanford University, he is Headmaster Emeritus of The Thacher School. His previous novel, High

Country, was named Best First Novel and Best Novel of the West by the Western Writers of America.

A stark portrayal of homesteading and family hardship

★ WINNER OF THE MONTANA BOOK AWARD

At the start of this haunting memoir, Ruth McLaughlin returns to the site of her childhood home in rural eastern Montana. In place of her family’s house, she finds only rubble and a blackened chimney. A fire has taken the old farmstead and with it ninety-seven years of hard-luck memories. Amidst the ruins, a lone tree survives, reminding her of her family’s stubborn will to survive despite hardships that included drought, hunger, and mental illness.

Bound Like Grass is McLaughlin’s account of her own—and her family’s—struggle to survive on their isolated wheat and cattle farm. With acute observation, she explores her roots as a descendant of Swedish American grandparents who settled in Montana at the turn of the twentieth century with high ambitions, and of parents who barely managed to eke out a living on their own neighboring farm.

McLaughlin reveals the costs of homesteading on such unforgiving land, including emotional impoverishment and a necessary thrift bordering on deprivation. Yet in this bleak world, poverty also inspired ingenuity. While leaving behind a life of hardship and hard luck, she remains bound—like the long, intertwining roots of prairie grass—to the land and to the memories that tie her to it.

Ruth McLaughlin lives in Great Falls, Montana, where she teaches literacy and writing. Her stories and essays have ap-peared in magazines and anthologies, including Best American

Short Stories. Dee Garceau-Hagen is the editor of Portraits of

Women in the American West.

An epic retelling of the most dramatic era of westward migration

With golden visions bright before themtrails to the Mining west, 1849–1852

by Will bagley

During the mid-nineteenth century, a quarter of a million travelers—men, women,

and children—followed the “road across the plains” to gold rush California. This

magnificent chronicle—the second installment of Will Bagley’s sweeping Overland

West series—captures the danger, excitement, and heartbreak of America’s first

great rush for riches and its enduring consequences. With narrative scope and detail

unmatched by earlier histories, With Golden Visions Bright Before Them retells this

classic American saga through the voices of the people whose eyewitness testimonies

vividly evoke the most dramatic era of westward migration.

Traditional histories of the overland roads paint the gold rush migration as a heroic

epic of progress that opened new lands and a continental treasure house for the

advancement of civilization. Yet, according to Bagley, the transformation of the

American West during this period is more complex and contentious than legend

pretends. The gold rush epoch witnessed untold suffering and sacrifice, and the

trails and their trials were enough to make many people turn back. For America’s

Native peoples, the effect of the massive migration was no less than ruinous.

The impact that tens of thousands of intruders had on Native peoples and their

homelands is at the center of this story, not on its margins.

Beautifully written and richly illustrated with photographs and maps, With Golden

Visions Bright Before Them continues the saga that began with Bagley’s highly

acclaimed, award-winning So Rugged and Mountainous: Blazing the Trails to

Oregon and California, 1812–1848, hailed by critics as a classic of western history.

Will Bagley is the author and editor of more than twenty books on the American

ledger narrativesthe plains Indian drawings of the lansburgh Collection at

dartmouth College

edited by colin g. calloway

With contributions by michael paul Jordan, vera b. palmer, Joyce szabo,

melanie benson taylor, and Jenny tone-pah-hote

The largest known collection of ledger art ever acquired by one individual is Mark

Lansburgh’s diverse assemblage of more than 140 drawings, now held by the Hood

Museum of Art at Dartmouth College and catalogued in this important book. The

Cheyennes, Crows, Kiowas, Lakotas, and other Plains peoples created the genre

known as ledger art in the mid-nineteenth century. Before that time, these Indians

had chronicled the heroic achievements of their warriors and chiefs on rock, buffalo

robes, and tipi covers. As they came into increasing contact with American traders,

the artists recorded their experiences in pencil and crayon drawings on paper bound

in ledger or account books. The drawings became known as ledger art.

This volume presents in full color the Lansburgh collection in its entirety. The

drawings are narratives depicting Plains lifeways through Plains eyes. They include

landscapes and scenes of battle, hunting, courting, ceremony, incarceration, and

travel by foot, horse, train, and boat. Ledger art also served to prompt memories of

horse raids and heroic exploits in battle.

In addition to showcasing the Lansburgh collection, Ledger Narratives augments

the growing literature on this art form by providing seven new essays that suggest

some of the many stories the drawings contain and that look at them from

innovative perspectives. The authors—scholars of art history, anthropology, history,

and Native American studies—touch on such themes as gender, social status,

sovereignty, tribal and intertribal politics, economic exchange, and confinement and

space in a changing world.

The Lansburgh collection includes some of the most arresting examples of Plains

Indian art, and the essays in this volume help us see and hear the multiple narratives

these drawings relate.

Colin G. Calloway is the John Kimball, Jr., 1943 Professor of History and Professor

of Native American Studies at Dartmouth College. He is the author of numerous

articles and books, including the award-winning One Vast Winter Count: The

Native American West before Lewis and Clark and New Worlds for All: Indians,

Europeans, and the Remaking of Early America.

A look at the finest works--and the artistic process--of one of the greatest wildlife artists of our time

bob kuhndrawing on Instinct

by adam Duncan harris

“For those of us who portray wildlife . . . our decision to persist in our quest for

excellence is almost always based on a love affair, a fascination with the creatures of

our planet, and a need to share this feeling the best way we know how.”

So said wildlife artist Robert Kuhn (1920–2007), who spent a lifetime sketching

and painting animals, and generously mentoring other artists. Bob Kuhn: Drawing

on Instinct presents a generous sampling of his rarely seen sketches alongside the

vibrant paintings for which he is best known. Appearing in conjunction with a

traveling exhibit mounted by the National Museum of Wildlife Art, in Jackson,

Wyoming, this book allows readers to observe the artistic process of one of the

greatest wildlife artists of our time.

Curator Adam Duncan Harris provides an introduction and a biography of Kuhn,

along with an examination of his working method. In addition, Bob Kuhn features

four substantive essays by leading authorities on American art: James H. Nottage

of the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art, Amy Scott of the

Autry National Center, Lisa M. Strong of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and Todd

Wilkinson of Wildlife Art Journal and other publications. These contributions,

written from a variety of art historical perspectives, set Kuhn’s oeuvre within

the cultural context in which he worked and deepen our understanding of his

achievements. Complementing the essays are brief appreciations by six of Kuhn’s

contemporaries and three samples of the artist’s own writing.

Bob Kuhn: Drawing on Instinct offers a compelling blend of the artist’s finished

paintings and finest sketches—works of art in their own right. This lavishly

illustrated book is a fitting tribute that will further establish Bob Kuhn’s place in the

pantheon of late-twentieth-century American artists.

Adam Duncan Harris, Curator of Art at the National Museum of Wildlife Art, is

the author of numerous essays on art and art history and Wildlife in American Art:

a military history of the cold War, 1944–1962by Jonathan m. house

The Cold War did not culminate in World War III as so many in the 1950s and

1960s feared. Yet it spawned a host of military engagements that affected millions

of lives. This book is the first comprehensive, multinational overview of military

affairs during the early Cold War, beginning with conflicts during World War II in

Warsaw, Athens, and Saigon and ending with the Cuban Missile Crisis.

A major theme of this account is the relationship between government policy and

military preparedness and strategy. Author Jonathan M. House tells of generals

engaging in policy confrontations with their governments’ political leaders—among

them Anthony Eden, Nikita Khrushchev, and John F. Kennedy—many of whom

made military decisions that hamstrung their own political goals. In the pressure-

cooker atmosphere of atomic preparedness, politicians as well as soldiers seemed

instinctively to prefer military solutions to political problems. And national security

policies had military implications that took on a life of their own. The invasion

of South Korea convinced European policy makers that effective deterrence and

containment required building up and maintaining credible forces. Desire to

strengthen the North Atlantic alliance militarily accelerated the rearmament of West

Germany and the drive for its sovereignty.

In addition to examining the major confrontations, nuclear and conventional,

between Washington, Moscow, and Beijing—including the crises over Berlin

and Formosa—House traces often overlooked military operations against the

insurgencies of the era, such as French efforts in Indochina and Algeria and British

struggles in Malaya, Kenya, Cyprus, and Aden. Now, more than fifty years after the

events House describes, understanding the origins and trajectory of the Cold War is

as important as ever. By the late 1950s, the United States had sent forces to Vietnam

and the Middle East, setting the stage for future conflicts in both regions. House’s

account of the complex relationship between diplomacy and military action directly

relates to the insurgencies, counterinsurgencies, and confrontations that now occupy

our attention across the globe.

Jonathan M. House is William A. Stofft Professor of Military History at the U.S.

Army Command and General Staff College, Leavenworth, Kansas. He is author of

Combined Arms Warfare in the Twentieth Century and Military Intelligence, 1870–

1991 and coauthor, with David M. Glantz, of several studies of the Soviet-German

conflict during World War II.

A groundbreaking analysis of the Peninsular War in southern Spain by a preeminent Napoleonic scholar

outpost of empirethe napoleonic occupation of andalucía, 1810–1812

by charles J. esdaile

Napoleon’s forces invaded Spain in 1808, but two years went by before they

overran the southern region of Andalucía. Situated at the farthest frontier of

Napoleon’s “outer empire,” Andalucía remained under French control only briefly—

for two-and-a-half years—and never experienced the normal functions of French

rule. In this groundbreaking examination of the Peninsular War, Charles J. Esdaile

moves beyond traditional military history to examine the French occupation of

Andalucía and the origins and results of the region’s complex and chaotic response.

Disillusioned by the Spanish provisional government and largely unprotected,

Andalucía scarcely fired a shot in its defense when Joseph Bonaparte’s army invaded

the region in 1810. The subsequent French occupation, however, broke down in the

face of multiple difficulties, the most important of which were geography and the

continued presence in the region of substantial forces of regular troops. Drawing

on British, French, and Spanish sources that are all but unknown, Esdaile describes

the social, cultural, geographical, political, and military conditions that combined to

make Andalucía particularly resistant to French rule.

Esdaile’s study is a significant contribution to the new field sometimes known

as occupation studies, which focuses on the ways a victorious army attempts to

reconcile a conquered populace to the new political order. Combining military

history with political and social history, Outpost of Empire delineates what we

now call the cultural terrain of war. This is history that moves from battles between

armies to battles for hearts and minds.

Charles J. Esdaile is Professor in History at the University of Liverpool. His

numerous publications include Napoleon’s Wars: An International History, The

Peninsular War: A New History, and Fighting Napoleon: Guerrillas, Bandits and

Adventurers in Spain.

no turning pointthe saratoga Campaign in perspective

by theodore corbett

The Battle of Saratoga in 1777 ended with British general John Burgoyne’s troops

surrendering to the American rebel army commanded by General Horatio Gates.

Historians have long seen Burgoyne’s defeat as a turning point in the American

Revolution because it convinced France to join the war on the side of the colonies,

thus ensuring American victory. But that traditional view of Saratoga overlooks

the complexity of the situation on the ground. Setting the battle in its social and

political context, Theodore Corbett examines Saratoga and its aftermath as part of

ongoing conflicts among the settlers of the Hudson and Champlain valleys of New

York, Canada, and Vermont. This long, more local view reveals that the American

victory actually resolved very little.

In transcending traditional military history, Corbett examines the roles not only

of enlisted Patriot and Redcoat soldiers but also of landowners, tenant farmers,

townspeople, American Indians, Loyalists, and African Americans. He begins the

story in the 1760s, when the first large influx of white settlers arrived in the New

York and New England backcountry. Ethnic and religious strife marked relations

among the colonists from the outset. Conflicting claims issued by New York and

New Hampshire to the area that eventually became Vermont turned the skirmishes

into a veritable civil war.

These pre-Revolution conflicts—which determined allegiances during the

Revolution—were not affected by the military outcome of the Battle of Saratoga.

After Burgoyne’s defeat, the British retained control of the upper Hudson-

Champlain valley and mobilized Loyalists and Native allies to continue successful

raids there even after the Revolution. The civil strife among the colonists continued

into the 1780s, as the American victory gave way to violent strife amounting to

class warfare. Corbett ends his story with conflicts over debt in Vermont, New

Hampshire, and finally Massachusetts, where the sack of Stockbridge—part of

Shays’s Rebellion in 1787—was the last of the civil disruptions that had roiled the

landscape for the previous twenty years.

No Turning Point complicates and enriches our understanding of the difficult birth

of the United States as a nation.

Theodore Corbett, a public historian who has taught American and British history,

is the author of A Clash of Cultures on the Warpath of Nations: The Colonial Wars

in the Hudson-Champlain Valley and Revolutionary New Castle: The Struggle for

Independence.

A long-overdue portrait of a tragic hero of the American Revolution

george rogers clark“I glory in war”

by William r. nester

George Rogers Clark (1752–1818) led four victorious campaigns against the

Indians and British in the Ohio Valley during the American Revolution, but his

most astonishing coup was recapturing Fort Sackville in 1779, when he was only

twenty-six. For eighteen days, in the dead of winter, Clark and his troops marched

through bone-chilling nights to reach the fort. With a deft mix of guile and

violence, Clark led his men to triumph, without losing a single soldier. Although

historians have ranked him among the greatest rebel commanders, Clark’s name is

all but forgotten today. William R. Nester resurrects the story of Clark’s triumphs

and his downfall in this, the first full biography of the man in more than fifty years.

Nester attributes Clark’s successes to his drive and daring, good luck, charisma,

and intellect. Born of a distinguished Virginia family, Clark wielded an acute

understanding of human nature, both as a commander and as a diplomat. His

interest in the natural world was an inspiration to lifelong friend Thomas Jefferson,

who asked him in 1784 to lead a cross-country expedition to the Pacific and back.

Clark turned Jefferson down. Two decades later, his youngest brother, William,

would become the Clark celebrated as a member of the Corps of Discovery.

By the beginning of the nineteenth century, though, George Rogers Clark may not

have been fit to command any expedition. After the revolution, he raged against

the government and pledged fealty to other nations, leading to his arrest under the

Sedition Act.

The inner demons that fueled Clark’s anger also drove him to excessive drinking.

He died at the age of sixty-five, bitter, crippled, and alcoholic. He was, Nester

shows, a self-destructive hero: a volatile, multidimensional man whose glorying

in war ultimately engaged him in conflicts far removed from the battlefield and

against himself.

William R. Nester is author of numerous books on military history, including The

Epic Battles for Ticonderoga, 1758 and The Revolutionary Years, 1775–1789: The

Art of American Power during the Early Republic.

MIlItary hIstory

from boer War to World Wartactical reform of the british army, 1902–1914

by spencer Jones

The British Expeditionary Force at the start of World War I was tiny by the

standards of the other belligerent powers. Yet, when deployed to France in 1914, it

prevailed against the German army because of its professionalism and tactical skill,

strengths developed through hard lessons learned a dozen years earlier. In October

1899, the British went to war against the South African Boer republics of Transvaal

and Orange Free State, expecting little resistance. A string of early defeats in the

Boer War shook the military’s confidence. Historian Spencer Jones focuses on this

bitter combat experience in From Boer War to World War, showing how it crucially

shaped the British Army’s tactical development in the years that followed.

Before the British Army faced the Boer republics, an aura of complacency had

settled over the military. The Victorian era had been marked by years of easy defeats

of crudely armed foes. The Boer War, however, brought the British face to face with

what would become modern warfare. The sweeping, open terrain and advent of

smokeless powder meant soldiers were picked off before they knew where shots

had been fired from. The infantry’s standard close-order formations spelled disaster

against the well-armed, entrenched Boers. Although the British Army ultimately

adapted its strategy and overcame the Boers in 1902, the duration and cost of the

war led to public outcry and introspection within the military.

Jones draws on previously underutilized sources as he explores the key tactical

lessons derived from the war, such as maximizing firepower and using natural

cover, and he shows how these new ideas were incorporated in training and used

to effect a thorough overhaul of the British Army. The first book to address specific

connections between the Boer War and the opening months of World War I, Jones’s

fresh interpretation adds to the historiography of both wars by emphasizing the

continuity between them.

Spencer Jones teaches at the Centre for First World War Studies at the University of

Birmingham, England.

A leading authority on national security offers new tools for combating global insurgencies

the complexity of modern asymmetric Warfareby max g. manwaring

foreword by John t. fishel

afterword by edwin g. corr

Today more than one hundred small, asymmetric, and revolutionary wars are being

waged around the world. This book provides invaluable tools for fighting such wars

by taking enemy perspectives into consideration. The third volume of a trilogy by

Max G. Manwaring, it continues the arguments the author presented in Insurgency,

Terrorism, and Crime and Gangs, Pseudo-Militaries, and Other Modern Mercenaries.

Using case studies, Manwaring outlines vital survival lessons for leaders and

organizations concerned with national security in our contemporary world.

The insurgencies Manwaring describes span the globe. Beginning with conflicts in

Algeria in the 1950s and 1960s and El Salvador in the 1980s, he goes on to cover

the Shining Path and its resurgence in Peru, Al Qaeda in Spain, popular militias in

Cuba, Haiti, and Brazil, the Russian youth group Nashi, and drugs and politics in

Guatemala, as well as cyber warfare.

Large, wealthy, well-armed nations such as the United States have learned from

experience that these small wars and insurgencies do not resemble traditional wars

fought between geographically distinct nation-state adversaries by easily identified

military forces. Twenty-first-century irregular conflicts blur traditional distinctions

among crime, terrorism, subversion, insurgency, militia, mercenary and gang activity,

and warfare.

Manwaring’s multidimensional paradigm offers military and civilian leaders a much

needed blueprint for achieving strategic victories and ensuring global security now

and in the future. It combines military and police efforts with politics, diplomacy,

economics, psychology, and ethics. The challenge he presents to civilian and military

leaders is to take probable enemy perspectives into consideration, and turn resultant

conceptions into strategic victories.

Max G. Manwaring is Professor of Military Strategy in the Strategic Studies Institute

at the U.S. Army War College. Edwin G. Corr, a former U.S. Ambassador, is retired

as Associate Director of the International Programs Center at the University of

Oklahoma. John T. Fishel is Professor Emeritus at the National Defense University.

He is currently a Lecturer in the Department of International and Area Studies at the

University of Oklahoma.

“that fiend in hell”soapy smith in legend

by catherine holder spude

As the Klondike gold rush peaked in spring 1898, adventurers and gamblers rubbed

shoulders with town-builders and gold-panners in Skagway, Alaska. The flow

of riches lured confidence men, too—among them Jefferson Randolph “Soapy”

Smith (1860–98), who with an entourage of “bunco-men” conned and robbed the

stampeders. Soapy, though, a common enough criminal, would go down in legend

as the Robin Hood of Alaska, the “uncrowned king of Skagway,” remembered for

his charm and generosity, even for calming a lynch mob. When the Fourth of July

was celebrated in ’98, he supposedly led the parade. Then, a few days later, he was

dead, killed in a shootout over a card game.

With Smith’s death, Skagway rid itself of crime forever. Or at least, so the story

goes. Journalists immediately cast him as a martyr whose death redeemed a violent

town. In fact, he was just a petty criminal and card shark, as Catherine Holder

Spude proves definitively in “That Fiend in Hell”: Soapy Smith in Legend, a tour

de force of historical debunking that documents Smith’s elevation to western hero.

In sorting out the facts about this man and his death from fiction, Spude concludes

that the actual Soapy was not the legendary “boss of Skagway,” nor was he killed

by Frank Reid, as early historians supposed. She shows that even eyewitnesses who

knew the truth later changed their stories to fit the myth.

But why? Tracking down some hundred retellings of the Soapy Smith story, Spude

traces the efforts of Skagway’s boosters to reinforce a morality tale at the expense of

a complex story of town-building and government formation. The idea that Smith’s

death had made a lawless town safe served Skagway’s economic interests. Spude’s

engaging deconstruction of Soapy’s story models deep research and skepticism

crucial to understanding the history of the American frontier.

Catherine Holder Spude is co-editor of Eldorado! The Archaeology of Gold Mining

in the Far North and author of Sin and Grace: A Historical Novel of the Skagway,

Alaska, Sporting Wars.

The first biography of a great lawman

When law Was in the holsterthe frontier life of bob paul

by John boessenecker

One of the great lawmen of the Old West, Bob Paul (1830–1901) cast a giant

shadow across the frontiers of California and Arizona Territory for nearly fifty

years. Today he is remembered mainly for his friendship with Wyatt Earp and his

involvement in the stirring events surrounding the famous 1881 gunfight near the

OK Corral in Tombstone, Arizona. This long-overdue biography fills crucial gaps in

Paul’s story and recounts a life of almost constant adventure.

As told by veteran western historian John Boessenecker, this story is more than

just a western shoot-’em-up, and it reveals Paul to be far more than a blood-and-

thunder gunfighter. Beginning with Paul’s boyhood adventures as a whaler in the

South Pacific, the author traces his journey to Gold Rush California, where he

served respectively as constable, deputy sheriff, and sheriff in Calaveras County, and

as Wells Fargo shotgun messenger and detective. Then, in the turbulent 1880s, Paul

became sheriff of Pima County, Arizona, and a railroad detective for the Southern

Pacific. In 1880 President Benjamin Harrison appointed him U.S. marshal of

Arizona Territory.

Transcending local history, Paul’s story provides an inside look into the rough-

and-tumble world of frontier politics, electoral corruption, Mexican-U.S. relations,

border security, vigilantism, and western justice. Moreover, issues that were

important in Paul’s career—illegal immigration, smuggling on the Mexican border,

youth gangs, racial discrimination, ethnic violence, and police-minority relations—

are as relevant today as they were during his lifetime.

John Boessenecker, a San Francisco attorney, is an award-winning author of

numerous publications on crime and law enforcement in the Old West, including

Bandido: The Life and Times of Tiburcio Vasquez. He has appeared frequently as

a historical commentator on PBS, The History Channel, and A&E, and in other

television media.

Quest for flightJohn J. Montgomery and the dawn of aviation in the west

by craig s. harwood and gary b. fogel

The Wright brothers have long received the lion’s share of credit for inventing the

airplane. But a California scientist succeeded in flying gliders twenty years before

the Wright’s powered flights at Kitty Hawk in 1903. Quest for Flight reveals the

amazing accomplishments of John J. Montgomery, a prolific inventor who piloted

the glider he designed in 1883 in the first controlled flights of a heavier-than-air

craft in the Western Hemisphere.

Re-examining the history of American aviation, Craig S. Harwood and Gary B.

Fogel present the story of human efforts to take to the skies. They show that

history’s nearly exclusive focus on two brothers resulted from a lengthy public

campaign the Wrights waged to profit from their aeroplane patent and create a

monopoly in aviation. Countering the aspersions cast on Montgomery and his

work, Harwood and Fogel build a solidly documented case for Montgomery’s

pioneering role in aeronautical innovation.

As a scientist researching the laws of flight, Montgomery invented basic methods

of aircraft control and stability, refined his theories in aerodynamics over decades

of research, and brought widespread attention to aviation by staging public

demonstrations of his gliders. After his first flights near San Diego in the 1880s,

his pursuit continued through a series of glider designs. These experiments

culminated in 1905 with controlled flights in Northern California using tandem-

wing Montgomery gliders launched from balloons. These flights reached the highest

altitudes yet attained, demonstrated the effectiveness of Montgomery’s designs, and

helped change society’s attitude toward what was considered “the impossible art” of

aerial navigation.

Inventors and aviators working west of the Mississippi at the turn of the twentieth

century have not received the recognition they deserve. Harwood and Fogel place

Montgomery’s story and his exploits in the broader context of western aviation and

science, shedding new light on the reasons that California was the epicenter of the

American aviation industry from the very beginning.

Craig S. Harwood is the great-great-grandson of Zachariah Montgomery, John

J. Montgomery’s father. A native Californian, he is an engineering geologist with

twenty years’ experience as a technical writer. Gary B. Fogel, a native of San Diego,

is CEO of Natural Selection, Inc., a computer science firm, and the author of Wind

and Wings: The History of Soaring in San Diego.

14 new or revised takes on western subjects by the acclaimed historian-author

the essential WestCollected essays

by elliott West

foreword by richard White

Scholars and enthusiasts of western American history have praised Elliott West as

a distinguished historian and an accomplished writer, and this book proves them

right on both counts. Capitalizing on West’s wide array of interests, this collection

of his essays touches on topics ranging from viruses and the telegraph to children,

bison, and Larry McMurtry. Drawing from the past three centuries, West weaves

the western story into that of the nation and the world beyond, from Kansas and

Montana to Haiti, Africa, and the court of Louis XV.

Divided into three sections, the volume begins with conquest. West is not the

first historian to write about Lewis and Clark, but he is the first to contrast their

expedition with Mungo Park’s contemporaneous journey in Africa. “The Lewis and

Clark expedition,” West begins, “is one of the most overrated events in American

history—and one of the most revealing.” The humor of this insightful essay is a

chief characteristic of the whole book, which comprises ten chapters previously

published in major journals and magazines—but revised for this edition—and four

brand-new ones.

West is well known for his writings about frontier family life, especially the

experiences of children at work and play. Fans of his earlier books on these subjects

will not be disappointed. In a final section, he looks at the West of myth and

imagination, in part to show that our fantasies about the West are worth studying

precisely because they have been so at odds with the real West. In essays on buffalo,

Jesse James and the McMurtry novel Lonesome Dove, West directs his formidable

powers to subjects that continue to shape our understanding—and often our

misunderstanding—of the American West, past and present.

Elliott West, Alumni Distinguished Professor of History at the University of

Arkansas, Fayetteville, is the award-winning author of numerous articles and

books, including Growing Up with the Country: Childhood on the Far-Western

Frontier; The Contested Plains: Indians, Goldseekers, and the Rush to Colorado;

and The Last Indian War: The Nez Perce Story. Richard White is Margaret Byrne

Professor of American History at Stanford University and author of Railroaded:

The Transcontinentals and the Making of Modern America.

c. c. slaughterrancher, banker, baptist

by David J. murrah

Born during the infant years of the Texas Republic, C. C. Slaughter (1837–1919)

participated in the development of the southwestern cattle industry from its pioneer

stages to the modern era. Trail driver, Texas Ranger, banker, philanthropist, and

cattleman, he was one of America’s most famous ranchers. David J. Murrah’s

biography of Slaughter, now available in paperback, still stands as the definitive

account of this well-known figure in Southwest history.

A pioneer in West Texas ranching, Slaughter increased his holdings from 1877 to

1905 to include more than half a million acres of land and 40,000 head of cattle. At

one time “Slaughter country” stretched from a few miles north of Big Spring, Texas,

northwestward two hundred miles to the New Mexico border west of Lubbock.

His father, brothers, and sons rode the crest of his popularity, and the Slaughter

name became a household word in the Southwest. In 1873—almost ten years before

the “beef bonanza” on the open range made many Texas cattlemen rich—C. C.

Slaughter was heralded by a Dallas newspaper as the “Cattle King of Texas.”

Among the first of the West Texas cattlemen to make extensive use of barbed wire

and windmills, Slaughter introduced new and improved cattle breeds to West Texas.

In his later years, greatly influenced by Baptist minister George W. Truett of Dallas,

Slaughter became a major contributor to the work of the Baptist church in Texas.

He substantially supported Baylor University and was a cofounder of the Baptist

Education Commission and Dallas’s Baylor Hospital.

Slaughter also cofounded the Texas Cattle Raisers’ Association (1877) and the

American National Bank of Dallas (1884), which through subsequent mergers

became the First National Bank. His banking career made him one of Dallas’s

leading citizens, and at times he owned vast holdings of downtown Dallas property.

David J. Murrah, a native of Gruver, Texas, received his Ph.D. in history from Texas

Tech University in 1979. Now retired as university archivist and longtime director

of the Southwest Collection at Texas Tech, he is the author of numerous articles

and books on Texas history, including Oil, Taxes, and Cats: A History of the DeVitt

Family and the Mallet Ranch.

A thought-provoking examination of Wild West shows—from the Native perspective

native performers in Wild West showsfrom buffalo bill to euro disney

by linda scarangella mcnenly

Now that the West is no longer so wild, it’s easy to dismiss Buffalo Bill Cody’s

world-famous Wild West shows as promoters of stereotypes and clichés. But

looking at this unique American genre from the Native American point of view

provides thought-provoking new perspectives. Focusing on the experiences of

Native performers and performances, Linda Scarangella McNenly begins her

examination of these spectacles with Buffalo Bill’s 1880s pageants. She then traces

the continuing performance of these acts, still a feature of regional celebrations in

both Canada and the United States—and even at Euro Disney.

Drawing on interviews with contemporary performers and descendants of

twentieth-century performers, McNenly elicits insider perspectives to suggest new

interpretations of their performances and experiences; she also uses these insights

to analyze archival materials, especially photographs. Some Native performers saw

Wild West shows not necessarily as demeaning, but rather as opportunities—for

travel, for employment, for recognition, and for the preservation and expression of

important cultural traditions. Other Native families were able to guide their own

careers and even create their own Wild West shows.

Today, Native performers at Buffalo Bill Days in Sheridan, Wyoming, wear their

own regalia and choreograph their own performances. Through dancing and music,

they express their own vision of a contemporary Native identity based on powwow

cultures. Proud of their skills and successes, Native performers at Euro Disney

are establishing promising careers. The effects of colonialism are undeniable, yet

McNenly’s study reveals how these Native peoples have adapted and re-created

Wild West shows to express their own identities and to advance their own goals.

Linda Scarangella McNenly is an independent scholar and instructor in

Anthropology. She received her Ph.D. in Anthropology from McMaster University

and recently completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Comparative Studies (ICSLAC)

at Carleton University, Ottawa.

speculators in empireIroquoia and the 1768 treaty of fort stanwix

by William J. campbell

At the 1768 Treaty of Fort Stanwix, the British secured the largest land cession

in colonial North America. Crown representatives gained possession of an area

claimed but not occupied by the Iroquois that encompassed parts of New York,

Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia. The Iroquois, however, were

far from naïve—and the outcome was not an instance of their simply being

dispossessed by Europeans. In Speculators in Empire, William J. Campbell examines

the diplomacy, land speculation, and empire building that led up to the treaty. His

detailed study overturns common assumptions about the roles of the Iroquois and

British on the eve of the American Revolution.

Through the treaty, the Iroquois directed the expansion of empire in order to serve

their own needs while Crown negotiators obtained more territory than they were

authorized to accept. How did this questionable transfer happen, who benefited,

and at what cost? Campbell unravels complex intercultural negotiations in which

colonial officials, land speculators, traders, tribes, and individual Indians pursued a

variety of agendas, each side possessing considerable understanding of the other’s

expectations and intentions.

Historians have credited British Indian superintendent Sir William Johnson with

pulling off the land grab, but Campbell shows that Johnson was only one of

many players. Johnson’s deputy, George Croghan, used the treaty to capitalize on

a lifetime of scheming and speculation. Iroquois leaders and their peoples also

benefited substantially. With keen awareness of the workings of the English legal

system, they gained protection for their homelands by opening the Ohio country to

settlement.

Campbell’s navigation of the complexities of Native and British politics and land

speculation illuminates a time when regional concerns and personal politicking

would have lasting consequences for the continent. As Speculators in Empire shows,

colonial and Native history are unavoidably entwined, and even interdependent.

William J. Campbell is Assistant Professor of History at California State University,

Chico, and author of numerous articles on early North American, Native, and

Canadian history.

The haunting story of Spopee, who “disappeared” for more than thirty years

blackfoot redemptiona blood Indian’s story of Murder, Confinement, and

Imperfect Justice

by William e. farr

In 1879, a Canadian Blackfoot known as Spopee, or Turtle, shot and killed a

white man. Captured as a fugitive, Spopee narrowly escaped execution, instead

landing in an insane asylum in Washington, D.C., where he fell silent. Spopee thus

“disappeared” for more than thirty years, until a delegation of American Blackfeet

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 from the one he had known

before his confinement.

Blackfoot Redemption is the riveting account of Spopee’s unusual and haunting

story. To reconstruct the events of Spopee’s life—at first traceable only through bits

and pieces of information—William E. Farr conducted exhaustive archival research,

digging deeply into government documents and institutional reports to build a

coherent and accurate narrative and, through this reconstruction, win back one

Indian’s life and identity.

In revealing both certainties and ambiguities in Spopee’s story, 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.

William E. Farr is a Senior Fellow at the O’Connor Center for the Rocky

Mountain West and Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Montana,

Missoula, Montana. He is the author of The Reservation Blackfeet, 1882–1945: A

Photographic History of Cultural Survival and Julius Seyler and the Blackfeet: An

Impressionist at Glacier National Park, among other publications.

contours of a peopleMetis family, Mobility, and history

edited by nicole st-onge, carolyn podruchny, and brenda macdougall

foreword by maria campbell

What does it mean to be Metis? How do the Metis understand their world, and

how do family, community, and location shape their consciousness? Such questions

inform this collection of essays on the northwestern North American people of

mixed European and Native ancestry who emerged in the seventeenth century

as a distinct culture. Volume editors Nicole St-Onge, Carolyn Podruchny, and

Brenda Macdougall go beyond the concern with race and ethnicity that takes

center stage in most discussions of Metis culture to offer new ways of thinking

about Metis identity.

Geography, mobility, and family have always defined Metis culture and society.

The Metis world spanned the better part of a continent, and a major theme of

Contours of a People is the Metis conception of geography—not only how Metis

people used their environments but how they gave meaning to place and developed

connections to multiple landscapes. Their geographic familiarity, physical and

social mobility, and maintenance of family ties across time and space appear to

have evolved in connection with the fur trade and other commercial endeavors.

These efforts, and the cultural practices that emerged from them, have contributed

to a sense of community and the nationalist sentiment felt by many Metis today.

Writing about a wide geographic area, the contributors consider issues ranging

from Metis rights under Canadian law and how the Library of Congress

categorizes Metis scholarship to the role of women in maintaining economic and

social networks. The authors’ emphasis on geography and its power in shaping

identity will influence and enlighten Canadian and American scholars across a

variety of disciplines.

mound builders and monument makers of the northern great lakes, 1200–1600by meghan c. l. howey

Rising above the northern Michigan landscape, prehistoric burial mounds and

impressive circular earthen enclosures bear witness to the deep history of the

region’s ancient indigenous peoples. These mounds and earthworks have long been

treated as isolated finds and have never been connected to the social dynamics of

the time in which they were constructed, a period called Late Prehistory.

In Mound Builders and Monument Makers of the Northern Great Lakes, 1200–

1600, Meghan C. L. Howey uses archaeology to make this connection. She shows

how indigenous communities of the northern Great Lakes used earthen structures

as gathering places for ritual and social interaction, which maintained connected

egalitarian societies in the process.

Examining “every available ceramic sherd from every northern earthwork,” Howey

combines regional archaeological investigations with ethnohistory, analysis of

spatial relationships, and collaboration with tribal communities to explore changes

in the area’s social setting from 1200 to 1600. During this time, cultural shifts,

such as the adoption of maize horticulture, led to the creation of the earthen

constructions. Burial mounds were erected, marking claims to resources and

defining areas for local ritual gatherings, while massive circular enclosures were

constructed as intersocietal ceremonial centers. Together, Howey shows, these

structures made up part of an interconnected, purposefully designed cultural

landscape. When societies incorporated the earthworks into their egalitarian

social and ritual behaviors, the structures became something more: ceremonial

monuments.

The first systematic examination of earthen constructions in what is today

Michigan, Mound Builders and Monument Makers of the Northern Great Lakes,

1200–1600 reveals complicated indigenous histories that played out in the area

before European contact. Howey’s richly illustrated investigation increases our

understanding of the diverse cultures and dynamic histories of the pre-Columbian

ancestors of today’s Great Lake tribes.

New Hampshire and author of numerous scholarly articles on archaeology in the

Great Lakes region.

maya exodusIndigenous struggle for Citizenship in Chiapas

by heidi moksnes

Maya Exodus offers a richly detailed account of how a group of indigenous people

has adopted a global language of human rights to press claims for social change and

social justice. Anthropologist Heidi Moksnes describes how Catholic Maya in the

municipality of Chenalhó in Chiapas, Mexico, have changed their position vis-à-vis

the Mexican state—from being loyal clients dependent on a patron, to being citizens

who have rights—as a means of exodus from poverty.

Moksnes lived in Chenalhó in the mid-1990s and has since followed how Catholic

Maya have adopted liberation theology and organized a religious and political

movement to both advance their sociopolitical position in Mexico and restructure

local Maya life. She came to know members of the Catholic organization Las Abejas

shortly before they made headlines when forty-five members, including women and

children, were killed by Mexican paramilitary troops because of their sympathy with

the Zapatistas. In the years since the massacre at Acteal, Las Abejas has become a

global symbol of indigenous pacifist resistance against state oppression.

The Catholic Maya in Chenalhó see their poverty as a legacy of colonial rule

perpetuated by the present Mexican government, and believe that their suffering

is contrary to the will of God. Moksnes shows how this antagonism toward the

state is exacerbated by the government’s recent neoliberal policies, which have

ended pro-peasant programs while employing a discourse on human rights. In this

context, Catholic Maya debate the value of pressing the state with their claims.

Instead, they seek independent routes to influence and resources, through the

Catholic Diocese and nongovernmental organizations—relations, however, that

also help to create new dependencies.

This book incorporates voices of Maya men and women as they form new identities,

rethink central conceptions of being human, and assert citizenship rights. Maya

Exodus deepens our understanding of the complexities involved in striving for social

change. Ultimately, it highlights the contradictory messages marginalized peoples

encounter when engaging with the globally celebrated human rights discourse.

Sustainable Development, Uppsala University, Sweden.

How indigenous manuscripts and rituals preserved a people’s identity, history, and memory in the face of conquest

edited by amos megged and stephanie Wood

Euro-Americans see the Spanish conquest as the main event in the five-century history

of Mesoamerica, but the people who lived there before contact never gave up their

own cultures. Both before and after conquest, indigenous scribes recorded their

communities’ histories and belief systems, as well as the events of conquest and its

effects and aftermath. Today, the descendants of those native historians in modern-

day Mexico and Guatemala still remember their ancestors’ stories. In Mesoamerican

Memory, volume editors Amos Megged and Stephanie Wood have gathered the latest

scholarship from contributors around the world to compare these various memories

and explore how they were preserved and altered over time.

Rather than dividing Mesoamerica’s past into pre-contact, colonial, and modern

periods, the essays in this volume emphasize continuity from the pre-conquest era

to the present, underscoring the ongoing importance of indigenous texts in creating

and preserving community identity, history, and memory. In addition to Nahua

and Maya recollections, contributors examine the indigenous traditions of Mixtec,

Zapotec, Tarascan, and Totonac peoples. Close analysis of pictorial and alphabetic

manuscripts, and of social and religious rituals, yields insight into community history

and memory, political relations, genealogy, ethnic identity, and portrayals of the

Spanish invaders.

Drawing on archaeology, art history, ethnology, ethnohistory, and linguistics, the

essays consider the function of manuscripts and ritual in local, regional, and, now,

national settings. Several scholars highlight direct connections between the collective

memory of indigenous communities and the struggles of contemporary groups.

Such modern documents as land titles, for example, gain legitimacy by referring to

ancestral memory.

Crossing disciplinary, methodological, and temporal boundaries, Mesoamerican

Memory advances our understanding of collective memory in Mexico and Guatemala.

Through diverse sources—pictorial and alphabetic, archaeological, archival, and

ethnographic—readers gain a glimpse into indigenous remembrances that, without

the research exhibited here, might have remained unknown to the outside world.

Amos Megged is author of Social Memory in Ancient and Colonial Mesoamerica.

Stephanie Wood is author of Transcending Conquest: Nahua Views of Spanish

Colonial Mexico.

plato’s Phaedrusa Commentary for greek readers

by paul ryan

introduction by mary louise gill

Composed in the fourth century b.c., the Phaedrus—a dialogue between Phaedrus

and Socrates—deals ostensibly with love but develops into a wide-ranging

discussion of such subjects as the pursuit of beauty, the nature of humanity, the

immortality of the soul, and the attainment of truth, ending with an in-depth

discussion of the principles of rhetoric. This erudite commentary, which also

includes the original Greek text, is designed to help intermediate-level students of

Greek read, understand, and enjoy Plato’s magnificent work.

Drawing on his extensive classroom experience and linguistic expertise, Paul Ryan

offers a commentary that is both rich in detail and—in contrast to earlier, more

austere commentaries on the Phaedrus—fully engaging. Line by line, he explains

subtle points of language, explicates difficulties of syntax, and brings out nuances

of tone and meaning that students might not otherwise notice or understand. Ryan

sections his commentary into units of convenient length for classroom use, with

short summaries at the head of each section to orient the reader.

Never straying far from the text itself, Ryan provides useful historical glosses and

annotations for the student, introducing information ranging from the architecture

of the Lyceum to Athenian politics. Further historical and philosophical context is

provided in the introduction by Mary Louise Gill, who outlines the issues addressed

in the Phaedrus and situates it in relation to Plato’s other dialogues.

Paul Ryan, an independent scholar and translator of Plato’s Menexenus, has taught

Classics at Bowdoin College and Tufts University. Mary Louise Gill is Professor of

Philosophy and Classics at Brown University and the author of Philosophos: Plato’s

Missing Dialogue. Ryan and Gill have collaborated on a translation of Plato’s

Parmenides.

Now including Cunliffe’s “Homeric Proper and Place Names”

a lexicon of the homeric Dialectexpanded edition

by richard John cunliffe

With a new preface by James h. Dee

“In its expanded form, this edition of Cunliffe’s Lexicon is now the best single-

volume Homeric reference in English.”—Bruce Louden, author of The Iliad:

Structure, Myth and Meaning

For nearly a century, Richard John Cunliffe’s Lexicon of the Homeric Dialect has

served as an invaluable resource for students and scholars of Homer’s Iliad and

Odyssey. As both an English-Homeric dictionary and a concordance, the Lexicon

lists and defines in English all instances of Greek words that appear in the two

epics. Now, with the inclusion of Cunliffe’s “Homeric Proper and Place Names”—

a forty-two-page supplement to the Lexicon—this expanded edition will be even

more useful to readers of Homer.

In his original preface to the supplement, Cunliffe explained that proper and place

names had to be excluded from the Lexicon “chiefly on the ground of expense.”

Although the Lexicon has enjoyed perennial popularity, scholars have long

lamented the absence of “capitalized” name-forms in the Lexicon. By consolidating

the two works into one handy single-volume format, this expanded edition fills the

only gap in Cunliffe’s indispensable reference.

In his preface to the expanded edition, James H. Dee explains the benefits of uniting

the two dictionaries. In addition, Dee provides a brief list of errata and a helpful key

to Cunliffe’s system of referencing the poems according to Greek letter.

Richard John Cunliffe received a law degree from Glasgow University, Scotland.

In addition to the Lexicon of the Homeric Dialect, he is the author of the highly

acclaimed New Shakespearean Dictionary. James H. Dee is Emeritus Associate

Professor of Classics at the University of Illinois at Chicago. His numerous

publications include four reference works on the epithetic expressions in the

Homeric epics.

hIstory/roMe

from republic to empirerhetoric, religion, and power in the visual Culture of ancient rome

by John pollini

Political image-making—especially from the Age of Augustus, when the Roman

Republic evolved into a system capable of governing a vast, culturally diverse

empire—is the focus of this masterful study of Roman culture. Distinguished art

historian and classical archaeologist John Pollini explores how various artistic and

ideological symbols of religion and power, based on Roman Republican values and

traditions, were taken over or refashioned to convey new ideological content in the

constantly changing political world of imperial Rome.

Religion, civic life, and politics went hand in hand and formed the very fabric of

ancient Roman society. Visual rhetoric was a most effective way to communicate and

commemorate the ideals, virtues, and political programs of the leaders of the Roman

State in an empire where few people could read and many different languages were

spoken. Public memorialization could keep Roman leaders and their achievements

before the eyes of the populace, in Rome and in cities under Roman sway. A leader’s

success demonstrated that he had the favor of the gods—a form of legitimation

crucial for sustaining the Roman Principate, or government by a “First Citizen.”

Pollini examines works and traditions ranging from coins to statues and reliefs.

He considers the realistic tradition of sculptural portraiture and the ways Roman

leaders from the late Republic through the Imperial period were represented

in relation to the divine. In comparing visual and verbal expression, he likens

sculptural imagery to the structure, syntax, and diction of the Latin language and to

ancient rhetorical figures of speech.

Throughout the book, Pollini’s vast knowledge of ancient history, religion, literature,

and politics extends his analysis far beyond visual culture to every aspect of ancient

Roman civilization, including the empire’s ultimate conversion to Christianity.

Readers will gain a thorough understanding of the relationship between artistic

developments and political change in ancient Rome.

John Pollini is Professor of Classical Art and Archaeology at the University of

Southern California. He has published five books and numerous articles and

reviews. Among his scholarly awards and honors are a Guggenheim Foundation

Fellowship, two National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowships, and

two American Council of Learned Societies Fellowships. He has also served as

Whitehead Professor at the American School of Classical Studies in Athens and is an

elected Life Member of the German Archaeological Institute.

carrying the War to the enemyamerican operational art to 1945

by michael r. matheny

Surprising new evidence of operational art among U.S. commanders in World War II

“Matheny fills a vacuum in military historiography with this book, while reminding us that great victories are not won by ac-cident.”—Military History

Military commanders turn tactics into strategic victory by means of “operational art,” the knowledge and creative imagination commanders and staff employ in designing, synchronizing, and conducting battles and major operations to achieve strategic goals. Until now, historians of military theory have generally agreed that modern operational art developed between the First and Second World Wars, not in the United States but in Germany and the Soviet Union. Some have even claimed that U.S. forces struggled in World War II because their commanders had no systematic understanding of operational art.

Michael R. Matheny believes previous studies have not appreciated the evolution of U.S. military thinking at the operational level. In this revealing account, Matheny shows that it was at the operational level, particularly in mounting joint and combined operations, that senior American commanders excelled—and laid a foundation for their country’s victory in World War II.

Since the Vietnam War, U.S. commanders have found operational art increasingly important as they pursue modern global and expeditionary warfare requiring coordination among multiple service branches and the forces of allied countries.

Michael R. Matheny is on the faculty of the Department of Military Strategy, Planning, and Operations at the U.S. Army War College, Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania.

great sioux War orders of battle how the united states army

waged war on the northern

plains, 1876–1877

by paul l. hedren

A unique resource with a new perspective on the U.S. Army in the Great Sioux War

Lasting nearly two years, the Great Sioux War pitted almost one-third of the U.S. Army against Lakota Sioux and Northern Cheyennes. By the time it ended, this grueling war had played out on twenty-seven different battlefields scattered across five states, resulted in hundreds of casualties, cost millions of dollars, and transformed the landscape and the lives of survivors on both sides. It also entrenched a view of the army as largely inept.

Paul Hedren demonstrates that the American army adapted quickly to the challenges of fighting this unconventional war and was more effectively led and better equipped than is customarily believed. While it lost at Powder River and at the Little Big Horn, it did not lose the Great Sioux War. Hedren considers concepts of doctrine, training, culture, and matériel and dissects the twenty-eight Great Sioux War deployments in chronological order, including documentation of command structures, regiments, and companies employed. The book also features seven helpful appendices, a glossary, and an oversized map showing forts, encampments, and battle sites.

Encompassing all of the war’s battles—along with troop movements, strategies, and tactics—Great Sioux War Orders

of Battle offers an authoritative account of the conduct of U.S. forces in a campaign all too frequently misunderstood.

Paul L. Hedren is a retired National Park Service superintendent and an award-winning historian living in Omaha, Nebraska. His numerous publications include First Scalp for Custer, Fort

Laramie in 1876, and We Trailed the Sioux.

WD farrCowboy in the boardroom

by Daniel tyler

foreword by senator

hank brown

Portrays a major leader in the twentieth-century development of western agriculture

“Always a better way” was WD Farr’s motto. As a Colorado rancher, banker, cattle feeder, and expert in irrigation, Farr (1910–2007) had a unique talent for building consensus and instigating change in an industry known for its conservatism. With his persistent optimism and gregarious personality, Farr’s influence extended from next-door neighbors and business colleagues to U.S. presidents and foreign dignitaries. In this biography, Daniel Tyler chronicles Farr's singular life and career and tells a broader story of sweeping changes in agricultural production and irrigated agriculture in Colorado and the West during the twentieth century.

WD was a third-generation descendant of western farming pioneers, who specialized in sheep feeding. While learning all he could from his father and grandfather, WD developed a new vision: to make cattle profitable. He sought out experienced livestock experts to help him devise ways to produce beef year-round.

Tyler also reveals WD’s influence in securing water supplies for farmers and ranchers and in establishing water conservation policies. Early in his career, WD helped sell the Colorado–Big Thompson Project to skeptical, debt-ridden farmers. In 1955, he became a board member for the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District, a post he held for forty years.

Daniel Tyler is Professor Emeritus of History at Colorado State University, Fort Collins, and the author of Silver Fox

of the Rockies: Delphus E. Carpenter and Western Water

rainbow bridge to monument valleyMaking the Modern old west

by thomas J. harvey

A cultural history of America’s red rock desert landmarks

The Colorado River Plateau is home to two of the best-known landscapes in the world: Rainbow Bridge in southern Utah and Monument Valley on the Utah-Arizona border. Twentieth-century popular culture made these places icons of the American West, and advertising continues to exploit their significance today. In Rainbow Bridge to Monument Valley, Thomas J. Harvey tells how Navajos and Anglo-Americans created fabrics of meaning out of this stunning desert landscape.

Navajos long ago incorporated Rainbow Bridge into their origin story. In the early 1900s, archaeologists crossed paths with novelist Zane Grey in the Rainbow Bridge area. Grey, credited with popularizing the modern Western novel, sought freedom from the contemporary world and reimagined the landscape for his own purposes. In the process, Harvey shows, Grey erased most of the Navajo inhabitants. This view of the landscape culminated in filmmaker John Ford’s use of Monument Valley as the setting for his epic Westerns. Harvey extends the story into the late twentieth century when environmentalists sought to set aside Rainbow Bridge as a symbolic remnant of nature untainted by modernization.

Encompassing archaeology, literature, Navajo history, film, environmentalism, and tourism, Rainbow Bridge to Monument

Valley explores how these rock formations, Navajo sacred spaces still, have become embedded in the modern identity of the American West—and of the nation itself.

Thomas J. Harvey is a reporter for the Salt Lake Tribune and co-editor of Imagining the Big Open: Nature, Identity, and Play in the

New West.

oil, Wheat, and Wobbliesthe Industrial workers of the

world in oklahoma,

1906–1930

by nigel anthony sellars

A social history of labor in the Oklahoma wheat belt and oil fields

The Industrial Workers of the World, or Wobblies, a radical labor union, played an important role in Oklahoma between the founding of the union in 1905 and its demise in 1930. In Oil, Wheat, and Wobblies, Nigel Anthony Sellars describes IWW efforts to organize migratory harvest hands and oil-field workers in the state and relationships between the union and other radical and labor groups such as the Socialist Party and the American Federation of Labor.

Focusing on the emergence of migratory labor and the nature of the work itself in industrializing the region, Sellars provides a social history of labor in the Oklahoma wheat belt and the midcontinent oil fields. Using court cases and legislation, he examines the role of state and federal government in suppressing the union during World War I.

Oil, Wheat, and Wobblies concludes with a description of the IWW revival and subsequent decline after the war, suggesting that the decline is attributable more to the union’s failure to adapt to postwar technological change, its rigid attachment to outmoded tactics, and its internal policy disputes than to its political repression. In Sellars’s view, the failure of the IWW in Oklahoma largely explains the failure of both the IWW and the labor movement in the United States during the 1920s.

Nigel Anthony Sellars, Associate Professor of History at Chris-topher Newport University, is the author of numerous articles on social and labor history in the United States.

savage perilsracial frontiers and nuclear

apocalypse in american Culture

by patrick b. sharp

Revisits the racial origins of the conflict between “civilization” and “savagery” in twentieth-century America

An important, insightful, and timely study.”—Richard Slotkin, author of Gunfighter Nation: The Myth of the Frontier in the

Twentieth Century

Savage Perils examines the racial underpinnings of American culture, from the early industrial age to the Cold War. Patrick B. Sharp explores the influence of Darwinism, frontier nostalgia, and literary modernism on the history and representations of nuclear weaponry. Taking into account such factors as anthropological race theory and Asian immigration, he charts the origins of a worldview that continues to shape our culture and politics.

This insightful book shows us that the “war on terror” is but the latest installment in an ongoing saga that has been at the heart of American identity from the beginning—and that understanding it is essential if we are to eradicate racist mythologies from American life.

Patrick B. Sharp is Professor and Chair of the Department of Liberal Studies at California State University, Los Angeles.

Mark Twain is revealed here in an entirely new autobiographical light from his own writings as they reflect his career, his thinking, and his humor. This volume captures the grandeur that distinguishes Mark Twain as, in the words of George Bernard Shaw, “by far the greatest American writer.” Made up of short stories and excerpts from Twain’s principal works, this collection demonstrates Twain’s artistry in handling anecdotes, tales, description, and characterization; the fervency of his ethical convictions; his effective use of irony, satire, burlesque, and caricature; and his essential humanity.

By arranging the materials in chronological order and weaving them together with critical commentary, the editors present the many facets of Mark Twain’s experience and his dynamic personality with greater continuity than in previous collections of Twain’s writings.

Here is the optimism of the young Mark Twain responding to the rough and rugged vitality of the mid-nineteenth-century American scene, and the skepticism and pessimism of the older Mark Twain reacting to the American democratic experiment of the late nineteenth century.

Minnie M. Brashear was Professor of English at the University of Missouri and coeditor with Robert M. Rodney of The Birds and

Beasts of Mark Twain (1966), also published by the University of Oklahoma Press. Rodney was Professor of English at Northern Illinois University. Edward Wagenknecht was Professor of English at Boston University and the author of Mark Twain: The Man

mark twainas a literary artistby gladys carmen bellamy

A revealing look at Mark Twain’s mind and methods

“A book which bids to reopen critical debate about Mark Twain. Bellamy has not just written another volume about the humorist; she has done some new thinking about him.”—New York Herald Tribune

Mark Twain has been the subject of violent disagreement among critics. Most of them have believed that he was an “unconscious artist,” working by impulse. Mark Twain as a

Literary Artist shows that Mark Twain was much more the conscious craftsman than is generally believed.

Here is revealed Twain’s violent mental conflict, a logical dilemma, which forced much of his work into distorted patterns of thought and structure. Through years of practice he evolved methods to achieve detachment through techniques such as speaking through the lips of Huckleberry Finn or some other childlike person; placing satiric scenes far off in time or space; diminishing the human race to microscopic proportions so that its wrongs could be treated with detachment; and reducing life to a dream in which the greatest wrongs become tolerable because they seem unreal.

Mark Twain as a Literary Artist is a mature, thorough, and revealing reassessment of the mind and methods of one of the most controversial figures in American literature.

Gladys Carmen Bellamy, a recognized Mark Twain scholar, was chairman of the language arts division at Southwestern State College, Weatherford, Oklahoma, and former secretary of the American Literature Division of the South Central Modern Languages Association.

A delightful collection of Mark Twain’s humorous and

insightful portrayals of animals

Long before moving pictures were invented, youngsters from eight to eighty were being charmed by a special kind of animated cartoon—the word sketches of Mark Twain. His descriptions and episodes involving animals have all the life of a Walt Disney production with the added advantage of the great wit and artistry of Twain’s prose—something which could never be captured in pictures alone.

A Mark Twain sketch may begin as an ordinary cartoon: a camel eating the author’s coat. You can see the scene, and it’s very funny: the camel “opening and closing his eyes in a kind of religious ecstasy, as if he had never tasted anything as good as an overcoat before in his life.” But then comes the Twain touch. The camel finds some newspaper correspondence, starts to eat it, and “dies a death of indescribable agony, choking on one of the mildest and gentlest statements of fact that I ever laid before a trusting public.”

Over and over again, Twain goes beyond mere humor to turn his portraits into truthful, though sometimes unflattering, insights into the world and human nature. For most of Twain’s animals are “as human as you be.”

Minnie M. Brashear was Professor of English at the University of Missouri and coeditor with Robert M. Rodney of The Art,

Humor, and Humanity of Mark Twain. Rodney was Professor of English at Northern Illinois University. Robert Roché is known for his animal paintings and his portraits of famous Americans.

traveling with the innocents abroadMark twain’s original reports

from europe and the holy land

edited by Daniel morley

mckeithan

Collected unexpurgated letters of Mark Twain on his famous Holy Land Excursion of 1867

Here, collected in book form for the first time, are the letters written by Mark Twain on the famous Holy Land Excursion of 1867—letters that Twain once said would ruin him if published. Twain, a brash young journalist with one book under his belt, was one of seventy-seven passengers on the steamship Quaker

City when it left New York in June 1867, to begin “The Grand Holy Land Pleasure Excursion.” As special correspondent for the Daily Alta California, Twain wrote fifty letters during the next six months, describing in detail the places visited and the sights seen as the pilgrims journeyed from Tangier to Paris, then to Venice, Constantinople, and Bethlehem—with many stops in between.

Full of sprightly humor and savage satire, these letters also contain some of the most elegant vituperation ever to appear in an American newspaper. Twain later incorporated parts of the letters into The Innocents Abroad, probably the most famous travel book ever written by an American, but every letter was drastically revised to appeal to the more refined taste of eastern readers.

Daniel Morley McKeithan’s discussion of the alterations and deletions made in each letter throws light on Twain’s methods of composition and revision. Those who have read The Innocents

Abroad and those who have not will find equal delight in this volume.

Daniel Morley McKeithan was Professor of English at the Uni-versity of Texas and the editor of A Collection of Hayne Letters, correspondence of the poet Paul Hamilton Hayne (1830–86).

gerald vizenorwriting in the oral tradition

by kimberly m. blaeser

A perceptive analysis of one of today’s most impressive Native American writers

Gerald Vizenor, the most prolific Native American writer of this century, has produced more than thirty books in genres as varied as fiction, journalism, haiku, and literary theory. The first book-length study devoted to this important author, Gerald Vizenor: Writing in the Oral Tradition, lays the groundwork essential for understanding his complex work.

Kimberly M. Blaeser begins with an examination of Vizenor’s concept of Native American oral culture and his unique incorporation of oral tradition in the written word. She details Vizenor’s efforts to produce a form of writing that resists static meaning, involves the writer in the creation of the literary moment, and invites political action and explores the place of Vizenor’s work within the larger context of contemporary tribal literature, Native American scholarship, and critical theory. Individual chapters examine Vizenor’s renditions of the Native American trickster figure in his fiction and analyze his critical, social, and literary subtexts. Blaeser also offers explanations of the origins, meanings, and dialogic purposes of “Vizenorese” terms, such as manifest manners, dead voices, word cinemas, terminal creeds, and socioacupuncture.

Based on scholarship, close reading, and interviews with Vizenor himself, and written by a Native scholar of Vizenor’s own tribe, this book explicates Vizenor’s ideas, methods, and forms, making even his most sophisticated arguments accessible to the general reader.

Kimberly M. Blaeser, an enrolled member of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, is Associate Professor of English and Com-parative Literature at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. She is the author of three volumes of poetry, including the prize-winning collection Trailing You.

indian alliances and the spanish in the southwest, 750–1750by William b. carter

How Pueblos and Athapaskans forged ties that lasted for generations

“Carter synthesizes a millennia of archaeology, ethnology, and history about Athapaskan and Puebloan peoples to offer a fresh vision of the region.”—James F. Brooks, author of Captives and Cousins: Slavery, Kinship, and Community in the

Southwest Borderlands

When considering the history of the Southwest, scholars have typically viewed Apaches, Navajos, and other Athapaskans as marauders who preyed on Pueblo towns and Spanish settlements. William Carter now offers a multilayered reassessment of historical events and environmental and social change to show how mutually supportive networks among Native peoples created alliances in the centuries before and after Spanish settlement.

In clearly explaining Native prehistory, Carter integrates clan origins with archaeological data and historical accounts. He then shows how the Spanish conquest of New Mexico affected Native populations and the relations between them. His analysis of the Pueblo Revolt (1680) reveals that Athapaskan and Puebloan peoples were in close contact, underscoring the instrumental role that Athapaskan allies played in Native anticolonial resistance in New Mexico throughout the seventeenth century.

This fresh interpretation of borderlands ethnohistory provides a broad view as well as important insights for assessing subsequent social change in the region.

William B. Carter is Professor of History and Philosophy at South Texas College in McAllen.

D“One of the best-crafted collections of plays in Native theatre. Beautifully written, the poetry of the language is stunning.”—Randy Reinholz, Artistic Director of Native Voices, Autry National Center, Los Angeles

In American Gypsy, a collection of six plays, Diane Glancy uses a mélange of voices to invoke the myths and realities of modern Native American life. Glancy intermixes poetry and prose to address themes of gender, generational relationships, acculturation, myth, and tensions between Christianity and traditional Native American belief systems.

The six plays included—“The Woman Who Was a Red Deer Dressed for the Deer Dance,” “The Women Who Loved House Trailers,” “American Gypsy,” “Jump Kiss,” “Lesser Wars,” and “The Toad (Another Name for the Moon) Should Have a Bite”—run the gamut from monologues to multi-character pieces and vary in length from fifteen minutes to over an hour. Glancy concludes the collection with a thought-provoking essay on Native American playwriting.

Diane Glancy is Professor Emeritus of English at Macalester College, St. Paul, Minnesota. She received the Cherokee Medal of Honor from the Cherokee Honor Society and is an award-winning author of poetry, short stories, and plays.

the peyote roadreligious freedom and the

native american Church

by thomas c. maroukis

An up-to-date history of the peyote faith that emphasizes Native perspectives

Maroukis is a keen observer of contemporary Peyotism.”—Journal of American History

Despite challenges by the federal government to restrict the use of Peyote, the Native American Church, which uses the hallucinogenic cactus as a religious sacrament, has become the largest indigenous denomination among American Indians today. The Peyote Road examines the history of the NAC, including its legal struggles to defend the controversial use of Peyote.

Thomas C. Maroukis conducted extensive interviews with NAC members and leaders to craft an authoritative account of the church’s history, religious practices, and people. Deftly blending oral histories and legal research, Maroukis traces the religion’s history from its Mesoamerican roots to the legal incorporation of the NAC; its expansion to the northern plains, Great Basin, and Southwest; and challenges to Peyotism by state and federal governments. The Peyote Road marks a significant case study of First Amendment rights and deepens our understanding of the struggles of NAC members to practice their faith.

Thomas C. Maroukis, Professor and Chair of the History Department at Capital University, Columbus, Ohio, is the author of Peyote and the Yankton Sioux: The Life and Times of

Sam Necklace.

happy hunting groundsby stanley vestal

introduction by peter J. powell

illustrated by frederick Weygold

A classic novel of Plains Indian life by the author of the definitive biography of Sitting Bull

“Vestal is lyrical without growing sentimental, mingling Indian music and ritual into a story of high adventure. A treat.” —New York Times

Here is a story, in thinly disguised fictional form, of Plains Indians, especially a Cheyenne chief, Whirlwind—his manner of life, his beliefs, and particularly, his love of his son. The villain is a Mandan who is given refuge in the Cheyenne camp and then wreaks havoc with the lives of his hosts. He causes a battle with the Sioux, steals the chief’s favorite wife, and slays the chief’s young son. Whirlwind’s revenge for the death of his beloved son provides a dramatic climax.

Happy Hunting Grounds recaptures Cheyenne life on the plains. The battles, celebrations, and lifeways of the Indians—Sioux, Cheyennes, and Mandans—are accurately and graphically portrayed. This volume is illustrated with drawings and paintings by Frederick Weygold, reflecting his own long association with the Plains tribes.

Stanley Vestal is the pen name of Walter S. Campbell, who grew up in Southern Cheyenne country. A graduate of Oxford University and longtime Professor of English at the University of Oklahoma, he wrote many distinguished books on American Indians and the West, including Sitting Bull, Champion of the

Sioux. Peter J. Powell is the author of Sweet Medicine: The

Continuing Role of the Sacred Arrows, the Sun Dance, and the

Buffalo Hat in Northern Cheyenne History.

indian conquistadorsIndigenous allies in the

Conquest of Mesoamerica

edited by laura e. matthew and

michel r. oudijk

Reassessing the first invasion of the New World

The conquest of the New World would hardly have been possible if the invading Spaniards had not allied themselves with the indigenous population. Indian Conquistadors examines the role of native peoples as active agents in the Conquest and the overwhelming importance of native allies in both conquest and colonial control.

In this volume a team of leading scholars examine pictorial, archaeological, and documentary evidence spanning three centuries, including little-known eyewitness accounts from both Spanish and native documents. This new research shows that the Tlaxcalans, the most famous allies of the Spanish, were far from alone. Not only did native lords throughout Mesoamerica supply arms, troops, and tactical guidance, but tens of thousands of warriors—Nahuas, Mixtecs, Zapotecs, Mayas, and others—spread throughout the region to participate with the Spanish in a common cause.

By offering a more balanced account of this dramatic period, this book calls into question traditional narratives that emphasize indigenous peoples’ roles as auxiliaries rather than conquistadors in their own right. Enhanced with twelve maps and more than forty illustrations, Indian Conquistadors opens a vital new line of research and challenges our understanding of this important era.

transcending conquestnahua views of spanish

Colonial Mexico

by stephanie Wood

Reveals Native Nahua perspectives on Spanish colonial occupations

“A distinctive and valuable contribution to the growing body of literature based on the reading of the various forms of documents composed in Nahuatl.” —Latin American Research Review

In Transcending Conquest, Stephanie Wood uses Nahuatl writings and illustrations to reveal Nahua perspectives on Spanish colonial occupations of the Western Hemisphere. Drawing on Mesoamerican peoples’ strong tradition of pictorial record keeping, Wood examines multiple examples of pictorial imagery to explore how native manuscripts depicted the European invader and colonizer. She has combed national and provincial archives in Mexico and visited some of the Nahua communities of central Mexico to collect and translate native texts. Analyzing and interpreting changes in indigenous views and attitudes through three hundred years of foreign rule, Wood considers variations in perspectives—between the indigenous elite and the laboring classes, and between those who resisted and those who allied themselves with the European intruders.

Transcending Conquest explores how evolving sentiments in indigenous communities about increased competition for resources ultimately resulted in an anti-Spanish discourse—a trend largely overlooked by scholars until now. Wood takes us beyond the romantic focus on the deeds of the Spanish conqueror to show how the so-called conquest was limited by the ways the native peoples and their descendants reshaped the historical narrative to better suit their memories, identities, and visions of the future.

Stephanie Wood, Professor of Latin American Studies and Director of the Wired Humanities Projects at the University of Oregon, is coeditor of Indian Women of Early Mexico.

national narratives in mexicoa history

by enrique florescano

translated by nancy hancock

Drawings by raúl velázquez

A history of Mexico's many identities

If history is written by the victors, then as the rulers of a nation change, so too does its history. Mexico has had many distinct periods of history, demonstrating clearly that the tale changes depending on the writer or historiographer. In National Narratives in Mexico, Enrique Florescano examines each historical vision of Mexico as it was interpreted in its own time, revealing the influences of national or ethnic identity, culture, and evolving concepts of history and national memory.

Florescano shows how the image of Mexico today is deeply rooted in ideas of past Mexicos—ancient Mexico, colonial Mexico, revolutionary Mexico. Enhanced by more than two hundred drawings, photographs, and maps, National

Narratives of Mexico offers a new vision of Mexico's turbulent history.

Enrique Florescano has written more than a dozen books on Mexico and is the editor of two book series on Mexican culture and history. His works previously translated into English include Memory, Myth, and Time in Mexico and The

Myth of Quetzalcoatl. Nancy T. Hancock, owner and direc-tor of a translation company, has completed the translation of eight bilingual books on the Mexican state of Chihuahua. Raúl Velázquez has dedicated many years to drawing a wide variety of pre-Hispanic Mesoamerican artwork.

Weapons of the lewis and clark expeditionby Jim garry

When Meriwether Lewis began shopping for supplies and firearms to take on the

Corps of Discovery’s journey west, his first stop was a federal arsenal. For the

following twenty-nine months, from the time the Lewis and Clark expedition left

Camp Dubois with a cannon salute in 1804 until it announced its return from the

West Coast to St. Louis with a volley in 1806, weapons were a crucial component

of the participants’ tool kit. In Weapons of the Lewis and Clark Expedition,

historian Jim Garry describes the arms and ammunition the expedition carried and

the use and care those weapons received.

The Corps of Discovery’s purposes were to explore the Missouri and Columbia

river basins, to make scientific observations, and to contact the tribes along the way

for both science and diplomacy. Throughout the trek, the travelers used their guns

to procure food—they could consume around 350 pounds of meat a day—and

to protect themselves from dangerous animals. Firearms were also invaluable in

encounters with Indian groups, as guns were one of the most sought-after trade

items in the West. As Garry notes, the explorers’ willingness to demonstrate their

weapons’ firepower probably kept meetings with some tribes from becoming

violent.

The mix of arms carried by the expedition extended beyond rifles and muskets to

include pistols, knives, espontoons, a cannon, and blunderbusses. Each chapter

focuses on one of the major types of weapons and weaves accounts from the

expedition journals with the author’s knowledge gained from field-testing the

muskets and rifles he describes. Appendices tally the weapons carried and explain

how the expedition’s flintlocks worked.

Weapons of the Lewis and Clark Expedition integrates original research with a

lively narrative. This encyclopedic reference will be invaluable to historians and

weaponry aficionados.

Jim Garry is author of This Ol’ Drought Ain’t Broke Us Yet (But We’re All Bent

Pretty Bad): Stories of the American West and The First Liar Never Has a Chance:

Curly, Jack, and Bill (and Other Characters of the Hills, Brush, and Plains).

Explores Indian America’s impact on the Corps of Discovery

the indianization of lewis and clarkby William r. swagerty

foreword by James p. ronda

Although some have attributed the success of the Lewis and Clark expedition

primarily to gunpowder and gumption, historian William R. Swagerty demonstrates

in this two-volume set that adopting Indian ways of procuring, processing, and

transporting food and gear was crucial to the survival of the Corps of Discovery.

The Indianization of Lewis and Clark retraces the well-known trail of America’s

most famous explorers as a journey into the heart of Native America—a case study

of successful material adaptation and cultural borrowing.

Beginning with a broad examination of regional demographics and folkways,

Swagerty describes the cultural baggage and material preferences the expedition

carried west in 1804. Detailing this baseline reveals which Indian influences

were already part of Jeffersonian American culture, and which were progressive

adaptations the Corpsmen made of Indian ways in the course of their journey.

Swagerty’s exhaustive research offers detailed information on both Indian and

Euro-American science, medicine, cartography, and cuisine, and on a wide range of

technologies and material culture. Readers learn what the Corpsmen wore, what

they ate, how they traveled, and where they slept (and with whom) before, during,

and after the return.

Indianization is as old as contact experiences between Native Americans and

Europeans. Lewis and Clark took the process to a new level, accepting the

hospitality of dozens of Native groups as they sought a navigable water route to

the Pacific. This richly illustrated, interdisciplinary study provides a unique and

complex portrait of the material and cultural legacy of Indian America, offering

readers perspective on lessons learned but largely forgotten in the aftermath of the

epic journey.

William R. Swagerty is Director of the John Muir Center at University of the Pacific,

author of numerous articles on the fur trade, and a contributor to the Smithsonian’s

Handbook of North American Indians. James P. Ronda, past president of the

Western History Association, is author of several studies on the Corps of Discovery

including Lewis and Clark among the Indians and Finding the West: Explorations

with Lewis and Clark.

edward hunter snowpioneer—educator—statesman

by thomas g. alexander

foreword by Jeffrey r. holland

The life of Edward Hunter Snow (1865–1932), a leader in second-generation

Mormon Utah, closely paralleled the early-twentieth-century development of the

West. Born in St. George, Utah, to Julia Spencer and Mormon apostle Erastus Snow,

Edward Hunter Snow was instrumental both in the development of southern Utah

and in the growth of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints during a period

of rapid change. In Edward Hunter Snow, the first biography of the man, noted

western and Mormon historian Thomas G. Alexander presents Snow as a servant of

family, church, state, and nation.

Offering insights into the LDS Church around the turn of the twentieth century,

Alexander narrates the events of Snow’s missions to the American South, including

encounters with the Ku Klux Klan in the 1880s, and to New York. As president of

the St. George Stake and church leader, Snow sought to reshape the LDS Church’s

place in Utah—confining its influence to religious and cultural practices and

avoiding politics.

Although he was involved in numerous causes throughout his life, Snow was

especially dedicated to education. A graduate of what is now Brigham Young

University, he worked to ensure that the state’s children would have access to

quality education. Snow founded what is now Dixie State College and, as a state

senator, introduced legislation to establish what is now Southern Utah University.

As the nineteenth century gave way to the twentieth, Snow helped St. George grow

from an isolated cotton colony to an important stop on the main automobile route

from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles. Alexander shows that rugged, southwestern

Utah’s flowering into cultural and commercial maturity was due to the foresight and

dedication of second-generation pioneers like Edward Hunter Snow.

Thomas G. Alexander is author of Mormonism in Transition: A History of the

Latter-day Saints, 1890–1930. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland is a member of the Quorum

of the Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and former

The first collection of Morgan’s writings on the Mormons

part 1, 1939–1951

edited by richard l. saunders

foreword by Will bagley

Dale L. Morgan (1914–1971) remains one of the most respected historians of

the American West—and his career, one of the least understood. Among today’s

scholars his reputation rests largely on his studies of the fur trade and overland

trails, yet throughout his life, Morgan’s primary interest was the history of the

Latter Day Saints. In this volume—the first of a two-part set—Morgan’s writings on

the Mormons finally receive the attention and analysis they merit.

Dale Morgan on the Mormons is a far-reaching compilation of the historian’s

published and unpublished writings. Edited and annotated by Richard L. Saunders,

the collection includes not only essays but also book reviews and bibliographic

studies, many published here for the first time. This first volume includes key

extracts from Morgan’s contribution to the WPA guide to Utah (1941), which

remains an excellent introduction to the complex history of the Beehive State. It

further provides a new historiographic introduction to his seminal work The State

of Deseret and presents important previously unpublished works on the Kingdom

of God, the Deseret Alphabet, and the origins of the infamous Danite society.

In addition, the volume illuminates Morgan’s legacy as a bibliographer and the

significance of that contribution to Latter Day Saint studies. Throughout, Saunders

provides informative introductions that place each of the writings or groups of

writings into biographical and historical context.

Richard L. Saunders has published widely on Dale Morgan’s life and work. He is

currently a professor at the University of Tennessee, Martin, where he heads the

library’s public services department and teaches U.S. history. Will Bagley is the

author or editor of more than a dozen books on the American West, including

the award-winning Blood of the Prophets: Brigham Young and the Massacre at

Mountain Meadows.

custer, the seventh cavalry, and the little big horn a bibliography

by michael o’keefe

foreword by robert m. utley

Since the shocking news first broke in 1876 of the Seventh Cavalry’s disastrous

defeat at the Little Big Horn, fascination with the battle—and with Lieutenant

George Armstrong Custer—has never ceased. Widespread interest in the subject has

spawned a vast outpouring of literature, which only increases with time. This two-

volume bibliography of Custer literature is the first to be published in some twenty-

five years and the most complete ever assembled.

Drawing on years of research, Michael O’Keefe has compiled entries for roughly

3,000 books and 7,000 articles and pamphlets. Covering both nonfiction and

fiction (but not juvenile literature), the bibliography focuses on events beginning

with Custer’s tenure at West Point during the 1850s and ending with the massacre

at Wounded Knee in 1890. Included within this span are Custer’s experiences

in the Civil War and in Texas, the 1873 Yellowstone and 1874 Black Hills

expeditions, the Great Sioux War of 1876–77, and the Seventh Cavalry’s pursuit

of the Nez Perces in 1877.

The literature on Custer, the Battle of the Little Big Horn, and the Seventh Cavalry

touches the entire American saga of exploration, conflict, and settlement in the

West, including virtually all Plains Indian tribes, the frontier army, railroading,

mining, and trading. Hence this bibliography will be a valuable resource for a broad

audience of historians, librarians, collectors, and Custer enthusiasts.

Michael O’Keefe has spent decades reading and researching histories of the

American West. A retired hospital administrator and CEO, he currently serves as

president of the Custer Battlefield Historical & Museum Association. Robert M. Utley, former chief historian for the National Park Service, is one of the nation’s

most acclaimed authors on the American West.

The first complete account of Sioux conflict and transformation before 1870

terrible Justicesioux Chiefs and u.s. soldiers on the upper Missouri, 1854–1868

by Doreen chaky

They called themselves Dakota, but the explorers and fur traders who first

encountered these people in the sixteenth century referred to them as Sioux, a

corruption of the name their enemies called them. That linguistic dissonance

foreshadowed a series of bloodier conflicts between Sioux warriors and the

American military in the mid-nineteenth century.

Doreen Chaky’s narrative history of this contentious time offers the first complete

picture of the conflicts on the Upper Missouri in the 1850s and 1860s, the period

bookended by the Sioux’s first major military conflicts with the U.S. Army and the

creation of the Great Sioux Reservation.

Terrible Justice explores not only relations between the Sioux and their opponents

but also the discord among Sioux bands themselves. Moving beyond earlier

historians’ focus on the Brulé and Oglala bands, Chaky examines how the northern,

southern, and Minnesota Sioux bands all became involved in and were affected by

the U.S. invasion. In this way Terrible Justice ties Upper Missouri and Minnesota

Sioux history to better-known Oglala and Brulé Sioux history.

Making use of a wealth of primary sources, many of them not accessed in earlier

accounts, Chaky introduces readers to several underappreciated Sioux leaders

and American army officers who played pivotal roles during this time of conflict

and change in both Sioux and U.S. military culture. She uses soldiers’ letters and

journals, military and other official communications, and the speeches of Sioux

leaders to illuminate the complex dynamics of this high-stakes contest between

cultures with diametrically opposed concepts of justice.

Doreen Chaky is a freelance journalist and independent scholar. She resides in

Williston, North Dakota.

chickasaw livesvolume four: tribal Mosaic

By Richard Green

The Chickasaw Lives series reveals the broad spectrum of Chickasaw history

and culture as seen through the eyes of the Chickasaw Nation’s Tribal

Historian, Richard Green. In 1994 Chickasaw Nation Governor Bill Anoatubby

encouraged Green to research and write stories about Chickasaw history and

people. This fourth volume in the Chickasaw Lives series is the culmination of

that project, known as a Chickasaw mosaic.

In Chickasaw Lives, Volume Four: Tribal Mosaic, Greene presents twenty-six

essays in six categories, representing a wide range of topics—from eighteenth and

nineteenth century sketches, to books and treasures, and revivals. Readers are

treated to stories, including a Chickasaw citizen’s struggle with the aftermath of the

1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, an exploration

of the mystique surrounding the tradition of Chickasaw warriors, and a Chickasaw

tribal donation to the United States to help fund the construction of the Washington

Monument in the 1800s.

The final volume in this important series, Chickasaw Lives, Volume Four: Tribal

Mosaic is a uniquely rich book that provides insightful context and perspective for

general readers and students of Native American history.

Tribal Historian Richard Green is the founding editor of The Journal of Chickasaw

History and author of the award-winning biography Te Ata: Chickasaw Storyteller,

American Treasure.

With Joshua D. hinson, John p. Dyson, and pamela munro

Anompilbashsha’ Asilhha’ Holisso: Chickasaw Prayer Book includes topical

prayers, readings, and selected passages from the Holy Bible (King James Version)

presented in a bilingual Chickasaw and English format.

Members of the Chickasaw Language Committee, with Joshua D. Hinson, John P.

hope, comfort, and blessings in their native Chickasaw language. Christianity has

a long and storied history among the Chickasaw people, who first read the Holy

Bible in the Choctaw language. This collection marks the first time that multiple

selections from the Bible have been translated into the Chickasaw language and

made available to the Chickasaw community, general readers, and students and

scholars of American Indian languages.

Joshua D. Hinson, Director of the Department of Language for the Chickasaw

Nation in Ada, Oklahoma, is the author of To’li’ Chikashsha inaafokha: Chickasaw

chikasha stories volume two: shared voices

by glenda galvan

illustrations by Jeannie barbour

When the idea of presenting Chickasaw stories in written form was first suggested

by tribal elder and storyteller Glenda Galvan, it quickly became apparent that not

all of those stories would fit in one book. In Chikasha Stories, Volume One: Shared

Spirit, Glenda Galvan first shared her stories with the world. The Chickasaw Press

proudly continues the preservation of the Nation’s storytelling by recording more

of Ms. Galvan’s narratives. Chikasha Stories, Volume Two: Shared Voices carries

on the tradition of the first volume with five new tales, illustrated with original

artworks by award-winning Chickasaw artist Jeannie Barbour.

Intended to revive and maintain Chickasaw storytelling, and with a nod to past

storytellers, the tales are told in both Chickasaw and English. While presented as

children’s stories, each tale teaches important life lessons. Shared Voices highlights

the value placed on storytellers and reveals why their role in the tribe is so honored.

Delightful for readers young and old, these stories also serve as a valuable

introduction to the Chickasaw language.

Glenda Galvan holds a bachelor’s degree in education from the University of

Oklahoma. She is Museum Director for the Chickasaw Nation and curator of

the Chickasaw While House museum and historical site at Emet, Oklahoma. The

beautiful award-winning illustrations and writings of Jeannie Barbour have been

featured in many art exhibitions, publications, and books, including Chickasaw:

Unconquered and Unconquerable, Proud to be Chickasaw, Let’s Speak Chickasaw,

and American Indian Places.

cherokee newspapers, 1828–1906tribal voice of a people in transition

by cullen Joe holland

edited by James p. pate

Indian journalism began at New Echota, Georgia, with the publication of the first

issue of the Cherokee Phoenix on February 21, 1828. Amid the dynamic backdrop

of increasing U.S. efforts to force American Indian tribes west, the Phoenix became

the voice of the Cherokee people. Its editor, Elias Boudinot, insisted that the paper

meet the highest standards and saw its purpose as a defender of Indian rights. To

allow for the broadest possible readership, the Cherokee Phoenix was printed in

both Cherokee and English. Facing the challenges of running a frontier newspaper,

Boudinot consistently produced a quality publication.

In Cherokee Newspapers, 1828–1906, Cullen Joe Holland skillfully covers the

growth of the Phoenix, explains how the Cherokee font was acquired, and discusses

problems the paper faced internally until its confiscation by the Georgia militia

in 1834. He then picks up the story ten years later, after the Cherokees have lost

their battle to remain in the east and have endured the forced migration to the

newly established Cherokee Nation in the west. There, on September 26, 1844, the

newspaper was reborn as the Cherokee Advocate. Like the Phoenix, it was again a

voice for the Cherokee people. The Advocate was printed from 1844 to 1853 and

from 1870 until it closed in 1906.

This remarkable history of Indian journalism includes photographs of many of the

editors and printers of the Cherokee Phoenix and the Cherokee Advocate. Together

these two groundbreaking newspapers covered most of the issues the Cherokees

faced during the nineteenth century—including removal, Reconstruction, allotment,

and Oklahoma statehood.

Cullen Joe Holland earned his doctorate at the University of Minnesota and served

for more than forty years as Professor of Journalism at the University of Oklahoma.

He was inducted into the Oklahoma Journalism Hall of Fame in 1962. James P. Pate is Dean of the University of Mississippi at Tupelo.

Papers from the 2010 Mayer Center Symposium at the Denver Art Museum

at the crossroadsthe arts of spanish america and early global trade, 1492–1850

edited by Donna pierce and ronald otsuka

The Denver Art Museum held a symposium in 2010, cohosted by the Frederick

and Jan Mayer Center for Pre-Columbian and Spanish Colonial Art and by the

Asian Art Department William Sharpless Jackson Jr. Endowment, to examine the

impact of early modern globalization on the arts of Spanish America. The museum

assembled an international group of scholars specializing in the arts and history

of Asia, Europe, and Latin America to present recent research, with topics ranging

from discussions of architecture, painting, and sculpture to engravings, ceramics,

clothing, and decorative arts of the period. This volume presents revised and

expanded versions of papers presented at the symposium.

Dana Liebsohn (Smith College) opens the volume with a thought-provoking

discussion of the reception and reinterpretation of Asian motifs in the various art

forms of viceregal New Spain (Mexico). María Bonta de la Pezuela (Sotheby’s,

New York) addresses the Manila galleon trade and the exportation of Chinese

porcelain to the Americas. William Sargent (Peabody Essex) expands on this topic

by examining a set of specific pieces of Chinese porcelain produced for export.

Jaime Mariazza (Universidad de San Marcos, Lima, Peru) describes the importation

of funerary traditions from Europe to Peru via books and engravings and their

implementation in Peru by local artists. And independent scholar Suzanne Stratton-

Pruitt analyzes the exportation of paintings “by the dozens” from Spain to Peru,

examining their impact on local painting traditions.

Sara Ryu (Yale University) presents recent research on corn-paste sculptures from

Mexico, which were sent to Europe during the early modern era, and their reception

there. The unique genre of casta (caste) paintings, invented in New Spain and

exported to Europe, is examined by Claire Farago and James Córdova (University

of Colorado). Donna Pierce closes the volume with a case study on the global range

of trade objects, presenting documentary evidence for the presence of Asian trade

goods in New Mexico—the northern-most province of the Spanish Americas.

Donna Pierce is Frederick and Jan Mayer Curator of Spanish Colonial Art and

Head of the New World Department at the Denver Art Museum. Ronald Otsuka is

Dr. Joseph de Heer Curator of Asian Art and Head of the Asian Department at the

Denver Art Museum.
