Route 66 Crossings
Historic Bridges of the Mother Road
By Jim Ross
Route 66 is a beloved and much studied symbol of twentieth-century America.
But until now, no book has focused on the bridges that spanned the rivers, creeks,
arroyos, and railroads between Chicago and Santa Monica. In this handsome
volume, Route 66 authority and veteran writer and photographer Jim Ross
examines the origins and history of the bridges of Americas most famous highway,
structures designed to overcome obstacles to travel, many of them engineered with
architectural aesthetics now lost to time.
Featuring hundreds of Rosss own photographs, Route 66 Crossings showcases
bridges ranging in design from timber to steel and concrete, and provides
schematics, maps, and global coordinates to help readers identify and locate them.
Rosss comprehensive accounting of structures along the Mother Roads various
alignments includes bridges still in use, those that have vanished or have been
abandoned, and the few consciously preserved as monuments. He also recognizes
ancillary structures that enhanced safety and helped facilitate traffic, such as railway
grade separations, tunnels, and pedestrian underpasses.

Path to Excellence
Building the University of Oklahoma, 18902015
By John R. Lovett, Jacquelyn Slater Reese, and Bethany R. Mowry
Preface by David L Boren
Founded by determined pioneers in 1890, the University of Oklahoma is one of the
nations most beautiful universities. The institutions visual attractions on its three
thriving campuses are matched only by its outstanding reputation for academic
excellence. Published in celebration of the Universitys quasquicentennial, Path to
Excellence is a stunning photographic history of OUs 125 years of remarkable
growth and revitalization.
When the Universitys first president, David Ross Boyd, looked out at the vast
stretch of prairie where the territorial school would be built, he envisioned
great possibilities. The Universitys first steps on the path to excellence were not
always easy, however. Challenges and trials marked its early years. Yet through
the perseverance and dedication of students, alumni, faculty, and staff, the modern
University took shape.
Showcasing both historical and contemporary photographs, Path to Excellence
takes the reader on a captivating journey. We see stately academic buildings known
for their fine architectural details. We see lush green lawns, colorful garden spaces,
and sculptures by renowned artists. And as these memorable landmarks take root
and develop before our eyes, we see the University become the strong institution
it is today, reaching for ever higher levels of scholarship, community service, and
academic achievement.

WYLIE BLOOD ON THE MARIAS
A thorough retelling of the Piegan massacre of 1870
Blood on the Marias

The Baker Massacre
By Paul R. Wylie
On the morning of January 23, 1870, troops of the 2nd U.S. Cavalry attacked a
Piegan Indian village on the Marias River in Montana Territory, killing many more
than the armys count of 173, most of them women, children, and old men. The
village was afflicted with smallpox. Worse, it was the wrong encampment. Intended
as a retaliation against Mountain Chiefs renegade band, the massacre sparked
public outrage when news sources revealed that the battalion had attacked Heavy
Runners innocent villageand that guides had told its inebriated commander,
Major Eugene Baker, he was on the wrong trail, but he struck anyway. Remembered
as one of the most heinous incidents of the Indian Wars, the Baker Massacre has
often been overshadowed by the better-known Battle of the Little Bighorn and has
never received full treatment until now.

Author Paul R. Wylie plumbs the history of Euro-American involvement with the
Piegans, who were members of the Blackfeet Confederacy. His research shows
the tribe was trading furs for whiskey with the Hudsons Bay Company before
Meriwether Lewis encountered them in 1806. As American fur traders and trappers
moved into the region, the U.S. government soon followed, making treaties it did
not honor. When the gold rush started in the 1860s and the U.S. Army arrived,
pressure from Montana citizens to control the Piegans and make the territory safe
led Generals William Tecumseh Sherman and Philip H. Sheridan to send Baker
and the 2nd Cavalry, with tragic consequences. Although these generals sought
to dictate press coverage thereafter, news of the cruelty of the killings appeared in
the New York Times, which called the massacre a more shocking affair than the
sacking of Black Kettles camp on the Washita two years earlier.
While other scholars have written about the Baker Massacre in related contexts,
Blood on the Marias gives this infamous event the definitive treatment it deserves.
Bakers inept command lit the spark of violence, but decades of tension between
Piegans and whites set the stage for a brutal and too-often-forgotten incident.

is author of The Irish General: Thomas Francis Meagher. He lives in Bozeman,
Montana.
Kill Jeff Davis

The Union Raid on Richmond, 1864
By Bruce M. Venter
The ostensible goal of the controversial Kilpatrick-Dahlgren Raid on Richmond
(February 28March 3, 1864) was to free some 13,000 Union prisoners of war
held in the Confederate capital. But orders found on the dead body of the raids
subordinate commander, Colonel Ulric Dahlgren, point instead to a plot to capture
or kill Confederate president Jefferson Davis and set Richmond ablaze. What really
happened, and how and why, are debated to this day. Kill Jeff Davis offers a fresh
look at the failed raid and mines newly discovered documents and little-known
sources to provide definitive answers.
In this detailed and deeply researched account of the most famous cavalry raid of
the Civil War, author Bruce M. Venter describes an expedition that was carefully
planned but poorly executed. A host of factors foiled the raid: bad weather, poor
logistics, inadequate command and control, ignorance of the terrain, the failures
of supporting forces, and the leaders personal and professional shortcomings.
Venter delves into the background and consequences of the debacle, beginning with
the political maneuvering orchestrated by commanding brigadier general Judson
Kilpatrick to persuade President Abraham Lincoln and Secretary of War Edwin
Stanton to approve the raid. Venters examination of the relationship between
Kilpatrick and Brigadier General George A. Custer illuminates the reasons why the
flamboyant Custer was excluded from the Richmond raid.

ordered hanged; the defenders of the Confederate capital, who were not just the
old men and young boys of popular lore; and General Benjamin F. Butlers
expedition to capture Davis, as well as Custers diversionary raid on Charlottesville.
Venters thoughtful reinterpretations and well-reasoned observations put to
rest many myths and misperceptions. He tells, at last, the full story of this hotly
contested moment in Civil War history.

Abandoned as a child, brooding and haunted as an adult, Simon Vegas, the

Mexican Flyboy, toils for years to repair a time machine that fell into his hands in
Vietnam. With the help of his friend, eccentric Hephaestus Segundo, Simon uses the
device to fly through time. Wherever acts of human cruelty take place, in the past
or in the present, the machine lets him lift the suffering away and deliver them to a
utopian afterlife. Blending magical realism, science fiction, history, and comic-book
fantasy, The Mexican Flyboy swoops readers from the jungles of Southeast Asia to
the vineyards of Northern California, from Ethel Rosenbergs execution to Joan of
Arcs pyre, in a tale of justice, trauma, regret, and redemption.
The dead pass through the narrative in a parade at once heartbreaking and hopeful,
among them Vincent van Gogh and Malcolm X, Ernest Hemingway and Amadou
Diallo. But the livingSimons pregnant wife, Elena, his old friend Ezekiel Stein,
prisoner Lenny Hudsonall throw doubt onto Simons story. Is Simon truly a
magus, transporting martyrs to a shared community in paradise? Or is he just a
man broken by loss, guilt, and the trauma of war, hopelessly lost in an illusion of
his own making?
Crossing genres and blending comedy with tragedy, Alfredo Va imagines a world
where we can rewrite our pasts and heal the wounds inflicted by history. Inviting
comparisons to the work of James Joyce and Victor Borges, Junot Daz and Michael
Chabon, this powerful book is like nothing else you have ever read.

The Sorrows of Young Alfonso

By Rudolfo Anaya
The world is full of sorrow, Agapita whispered to Alfonso.
Did she stamp those words into his destiny?
The story of Alfonso, a Nuevo Mexicano, begins with his birth, when the curandera
Agapita delivers these haunting words into his infant ear. What then unfolds is
an elegiac song to the llanos of New Mexico where Alfonso comes of age. As this
exquisite novel charts Alfonsos life journey from childhood through his education
and evolution as a writer, renowned Chicano author Rudolfo Anaya invites readers
to reflect on the truths and mysteries of the human condition.
Because Alfonso didnt write his own biography, it falls to his childhood friend,
the anonymous narrator here, to tell his story, through a series of letters addressed
to a mysterious figure named K. The narrator depicts young Alfonso caught
between dual influences: his beloved, devout Catholic mother, Rafaelita, and the
folk healer Agapita. After suffering a terrible accident that leaves him physically
handicapped, Alfonso faces intellectual crises during his university years, all of
which move him down the path of his destiny.
In describing these events, the old man writing the letters interweaves Alfonsos
experiences with fragments of his own life and of the New Mexican llano that both
men have called home. The trajectory of Alfonsos life in turn mirrors the history of
New Mexico and the turbulent beginnings of the Chicano movement in which the
young protagonist plays a trailblazing role.
As story builds upon story, the commonality of traits among the narrator, his
subject, and perhaps Anaya himself appears more than coincidental. Permeated
by Anayas trademark religious and mythological imagery, The Sorrows of Young
Alfonso is a luminous meditation on memory, reality, and the human experience.
Rudolfo Anaya is Professor Emeritus of English at the University of New Mexico
and author of numerous books, including Poems from the Ro Grande. He has
received myriad literary awards, including the Premio Quinto Sol and a National
Medal of Arts.

Heartbeat, Warble, and the Electric Powwow

American Indian Music
By Craig Harris
Despite centuries of suppression and oppression, American Indian music survives
today as a profound cultural force. Heartbeat, Warble, and the Electric Powwow
celebrates, in depth, the vibrant soundscape of Native North America, from the
heartbeat of intertribal drums and warble of Native flutes to contemporary
rock, hip-hop, and electronic music. Drawing on more than one hundred interviews
with musicians, producers, ethnographers, and record-label owners, author and
musician Craig Harris conjures an aural tapestry in which powwow drums and
end-blown woodwinds resound alongside operatic and symphonic strains, jazz and
reggae, country music, and blues.

intertribal gatherings. He examines the traditions of the Native American flute and
its revival with artists such as two-time Grammy winners R. Carlos Nakai and
Mary Youngblood. Singers and songwriters, including Buffy Sainte-Marie, Keith
Secola, and Joanne Shenandoah, provide insights into their music and their lives
as American Indians. Harris also traces American Indian rock, reggae, punk, and
pop over four decades, punctuating his survey with commentary from such artists
as Tom Bee, founder of Native Americas first rock band, XIT. Grammy-winner Taj

The Trial of Tom Horn

By John W. Davis
For weeks in 1902 it commanded headlines. All of Wyoming and much of the West
followed the trial of Tom Horn for the murder of a fourteen-year-old boy. John W.
Daviss book, the only full-length account of the trial, places it in perspective as part
of a larger struggle for control of Wyomings grazing land. Davis also portrays an
enigmatic defendant who, more than a century after his conviction and hanging,
perplexes us still.
Tom Horn was one of the most fascinating figures in the history of the West.
Employed as a Pinkerton and then as a range detective, he had a reputation as a
loner and a braggart with a brutal approach to law enforcement even before he was
accused of murdering young Willie Nickell. Cattlemen saw Horn as protecting their
way of life, but most people in Wyoming saw him as a hired assassin, an instrument
of oppression by cattle barons willing to use violent intimidation to protect their
assets.
The story began on July 18, 1901, when Willie Nickell was shot by a gunman lying
in ambush; the killer was apparently after Willies father, who had brought sheep
into the area. Six months later Tom Horn was arrested. The trial pitted the Laramie
County district attorney against a crack team of defense lawyers hired by big
cattlemen. Against all predictions, the jury found Horn guilty of first-degree murder.
Despite appeals that went all the way to the state supreme court and the governor,
Horn was hanged in Cheyenne in 1903.
The trial and conviction of Tom Horn marked a major milestone in the hard-fought
battle against vigilantism in Wyoming. Davis, himself a trial lawyer, has mined court
documents and newspaper articles to dissect the trial strategies of the participating
attorneys. His detailed account illuminates a larger narrative of conflict between the
power of wealth and the forces of law and order in the West.
John W. Davis, who resides in Worland, Wyoming, practiced law in the Big Horn
Basin for more than forty years. He is the author of Goodbye, Judge Lynch: The
End of a Lawless Era in Wyomings Big Horn Basin and Wyoming Range War: The
Infamous Invasion of Johnson County.

Attacked by bikers before he can even board his plane, NeptunePodjo to his
friendsquickly begins to realize just how much trouble surrounds his peoples
ancestral home. Guided by his sense of duty to his homeland, he agrees to help
protect Dennis and other Penacooks as they stage a takeover of a state campground
on land that should have reverted to their tribe. But encroaching developers,
government operators, and even fellow Penacooks eager to build a casino each pose
a threat to the Abenaki landsand all have reasons to want Neptune out of the
picture.
Podjo greets each challenge with self-deprecating humorbut its difficult to shake
his increasingly disturbing dreams, and an unsettled feeling when his return leads to
a reunion with a long-ago love interest. As he and Dennis contend with hired guns,
police, and security, a far greater threat appears: someone, or something, is brutally
killing people in the woods. It will take all of Neptunes skills as a martial arts
fighter and the wisdom gained from tribal elders to battle the forces that threaten
the sacred landand his and his peoples lives.
Bruchac ratchets the tension from the first page to the last in this detective novel
that pairs comedy and action with serious consideration of corporate greed,
environmental destruction, cultural erosion, and other modern-day issues pressing

Walking the Llano

A Texas Memoir of Place
By Shelley Armitage
When European explorers crossed the Texas Panhandle, they dubbed it part
of the Great American Desert. A sea of grass, the llano appeared empty,
flat, and barely habitable. Contemporary developmentscell phone towers, oil
rigs, and wind turbineshave only added to this stereotype. Yet in this lyrical
ecomemoir, Shelley Armitage charts a unique rediscovery of the largely unknown
land, a journey at once deeply personal and far-reaching in its exploration of the
connections between memory, spirit, and place.
Armitage begins her narrative with the intention to walk the llano from her family
farm thirty meandering miles along the Middle Alamosa Creek to the Canadian
River. Along the way, she seeks the connection between her father and one of
the areas first settlers, Ysabel Gurule, who built his dugout on the banks of the
Canadian. Armitage, who grew up nearby in the small town of Vega, finds this act
of walking inseparable from the act of listening and writing. What does the land
say to us? she asks as she witnesses human alterations to the landscapeperhaps
most catastrophic the continued drainage of the lands most precious resource, the
Ogallala Aquifer.
Yet the llanos wonders persist: dynamic mesas and canyons, vast flora and fauna,
diverse wildlife, rich histories. Armitage recovers the voices of ancient, Native, and
Hispano peoples, their stories interwoven with her own: her fathers legacy, her
mothers decline, a brothers love. The llano holds not only the beauty of ecological
surprises but a renewed realization of kinship in a world ever changing.
Reminiscent of the work of Terry Tempest Williams and John McPhee, Walking the
Llano is both a celebration of an oft-overlooked region and a soaring testimony to the
power of the landscape to draw us into greater understanding of ourselves and others
by experiencing a deeper connection with the places we inhabit.
Shelley Armitage is Professor Emerita of English and American Studies at
the University of Texas at El Paso. Her numerous publications include Bones

Ruined City
A Novel
By Jia Pingwa
Translated by Howard Goldblatt
When originally published in 1993, Ruined City (Fei Du) was promptly banned by
Chinas State Publishing Administration, ostensibly for its explicit sexual content.
Since then, award-winning author Jia Pingwas vivid portrayal of contemporary
Chinas social and economic transformation has become a classic, viewed by critics
and scholars of Chinese literature as one of the most important novels of the
twentieth century. Howard Goldblatts deft translation now gives English-speaking
readers their first chance to enjoy this masterpiece of social satire by one of Chinas
most provocative writers.

While eroticism, exoticism, and esoteric minutiaethe pornography that

earned the opprobrium of Chinese officialspervade Ruined City, this tale of a
famous contemporary writers sexual and legal imbroglios is an incisive portrait
of politics and culture in a rapidly changing China. In a narrative that ranges from
political allegory to parody, Jia Pingwa tracks his antihero Zhuang Zhidie through
progressively more involved and inevitably disappointing sexual liaisons. Set in
a modern metropolis rife with power politics, corruption, and capitalist schemes,
the novel evokes an unrequited romantic longing for Chinas premodern, rural
past, even as unfolding events caution against the trap of nostalgia. Amid comedy
and chaos, the author subtly injects his concerns about the place of intellectual
seriousness, censorship, and artistic integrity in the changing conditions of Chinese
society.
Rich with detailed description and vivid imagery, Ruined City transports readers
into a world abounding with the absurdities and harshness of modern life.

Touring the West with Leaping Lena, 1925

By W. C. Clark
Edited by David Dary
Driving across the country in the early twentieth century was high adventure. In
1925 Willie Chester Clark and his family piled into a modified Chevrolet touring
car, affectionately named Leaping Lena, and took off for the West. Clarks account
of the journey will acquaint readers with cross-country travel at a time when
Americans were just inventing the road trip.
Editor David Dary discovered a copy of Clarks account among his grandfathers
personal papers. Dary introduces the tale of how Leaping Lena clocked some
12,000 miles in five months, starting from West Virginia and traveling to the
Northwest, down the Pacific Coast to Southern California, through the Desert
Southwest, and back home via the Southern Plains. Among the highlights of the trip
were visits to Yellowstone, Yosemite, Mount Rainier, and Crater Lake.
Writing while sitting on a camp stool, his typewriter resting on the cars front
bumper, W. C. Clark turned out lively descriptions of the familys experiences with
all the wit and panache of his later journalism career. Clark details road conditions,
the quality of accommodations, the cost of gas and food, user fees at national
parks, and the number and variety of fellow tourists his party encountered. He
also describes the pitfalls of life on the road. Flat tires were a daily occurrence,
mechanical breakdowns almost as frequent, and the crude, mostly unpaved roads
were named but not yet numbered, and only intermittently marked. And if the
Clarks were not lucky enough to stay with friends, they had to camp.
Framed by an introduction and annotations that set the story in context, and
illustrated with photographs of gas stations, roadside attractions, and roadsters
typical of the day, Touring the West with Leping Lena gives a firsthand glimpse into
the early days of cross-country automobile trips. Readers will enjoy its historical
detail even as they realize that when it comes to family road trips, some things
havent changed.
David Dary is Professor Emeritus and former head of what is now the Gaylord
College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Oklahoma.
He is the author of more than 20 books, including Red Blood and Black Ink; The
Oregon Trail: An American Saga; and Stories of Old-Time Oklahoma.

On May 10, 2008, a tornado struck the northeastern Oklahoma town of Picher,
destroying more than one hundred homes and killing six people. It was the final
blow to a onetime boomtown already staggering under the weight of its history.
The lead and zinc mining that had given birth to the town had also proven its
undoing, earning Picher in 2006 the distinction of being the nations most toxic
Superfund site. Recounting the towns dissolution and documenting its remaining
traces, Picher, Oklahoma tells the story of an unfolding ghost town. With shades of
Pichers past lives lingering at every intersection, memories of its proud history and
sad decline inhere in the relics, artifacts, personal treasures, and broken structures
abandoned in disasters wake.
In Todd Stewarts haunting photographs, faded snapshots and letters, well-worn
garments, and books and toys give harrowing and elegiac testimony of constancy
and dislocation. Empty buildings and bared foundations stand in silent witness
to the homes, schools, churches, and businesses that once defined life in Picher.
As these photographs and Alison Fieldss accompanying essays explore the
otherworldly town teetering over massive sinkholes, they reveal how memory,
embedded in everyday objects, can be dislocated and reframed through both
chronic and acute instances of environmental trauma.
Though hardly known outside the Three Corners Region of Oklahoma, Kansas,
and Missouri, the fate of Picher echoes well beyond its borders. Picher, Oklahoma
reflects the broader intersections of memory, time, material objects, and changing
environments, demanding our attention even as it resists easy interpretation.

Branding the American West

Paintings and Films, 19001950
Edited by Marian Wardle and Sarah E. Boehme
With contributions by Jimmy L. Bryan, Jr., LeAnne Howe, Elizabeth
Hutchinson, John Ott, Dean Rader, Susan S. Rugh, and Ann Hartvigsen
Artists and filmmakers in the early twentieth century reshaped our vision of the
American West. In particular, the Taos Society of Artists and the California-based
artist Maynard Dixon departed from the legendary depiction of the Wild West
and fostered new images, or brands, for western art. This volume, illustrated with
more than 150 images, examines select paintings and films to demonstrate how
these artists both enhanced and contradicted earlier representations of the West.
Prior to this period, American art tended to portray the West as a wild frontier with
untamed lands and peoples. Renowned artists such as Henry Farny and Frederic
Remington set their work in the past, invoking an environment immersed in conflict
and violence. This trademark perspective began to change, however, when artists
enamored with the Southwest stamped a new imprint on their paintings.
The contributors to this volume illuminate the complex ways in which earlytwentieth-century artists, as well as filmmakers, evoked a southwestern environment
not just suspended in time but also permanent rather than transient. Yet, as the
authors also reveal, these artists were not entirely immune to the siren call of the
vanishing West, and their portrayal of peaceful yet exotic Native Americans was
an expansion rather than a dismissal of earlier tropes. Both brands cast a romantic
spell on the West, and both have been seared into public consciousness.
Branding the American West is published in association with the Brigham Young
University Museum of Art, Provo, Utah, and the Stark Museum of Art, Orange, Texas.

a comprehensive presentation of
the artists extant work
One of Americas most popular and
influential American artists, Frederic
Remington (18611909) is renowned for
his depictions of the Old West. Through
paintings, drawings, and sculptures, he
immortalized a dynamic world of cowboys
and American Indians, hunters and
horses, landscapes and wildlife. Frederic
Remington: A Catalogue Raisonn II is a
comprehensive presentation of the artists
body of flat work, both in print and on this
books companion website.
Beautifully illustrated with more than
150 figures and 100 color plates, this
book offers insightful essays by notable
art historians who explore Remingtons
experiences in Taos, New Mexico, and
other parts of the West. The chapters
include analyses of Remingtons artistic
development from an illustrator to a fine art
painter, his search for and understanding
of men with the bark on, his relationship
with the famed illustrator Howard Pyle,
and the shared imagery of Remington and
Buffalo Bill Cody. A chapter considering
Remingtons enduring bond with the horse
and its representation in his paintings
follows an examination of Remingtons ties
to Theodore Roosevelt that reveals how
the two men helped move the American
conscience toward wildlife preservation.

An assessment of the authentication
process for evaluating Remingtons
works opens the collection: Remington
is perhaps the most frequently faked
American artist.
The book features a unique keycode
granting access to a companion website
that brings together more than 3,000
reproductions of the artists flat works,
including the complete original 1996
edition of the Catalogue Raisonn
and nearly 300 previously unknown or
relocated pieces. Each entry includes the
title, date, medium, size, inscriptions,
provenance, and exhibition and
publication history of the work, as well as
select commentary. The online catalogue is
fully searchable and will be continuously
updated as new information becomes
available.
Based on decades of scholarship and
research, the revised Remington Catalogue
Raisonn is an essential resource for
scholars, collectors, museum curators,
historians of the American West, and
anyone seeking definitive information on
the art of Frederic Remington.

Of the hundreds of foreign students who attended the Munich Art Academy
between 1910 and 1915, Walter Ufer (18761936) and E. Martin Hennings
(18861956) returned to the United States to foster the development of a national
art. They ultimately established their reputations in the American Southwest. The
two German American artists shared much in common, and both would gain
membership in the celebrated Taos Society of Artists. Featuring nearly 150 color
plates and historical photographs, A Place in the Sun is a long-overdue tribute to
the lives, achievements, and artistic legacy of these two important artists.
In tracing the lifelong friendship and intersecting careers of Ufer and Hennings, the
contributors to this volume explore the social and artistic implications of the artists
German heritage and training. Following their training in Munich, both men hoped
to build careers in the spirited art environment of Chicago. Both were sponsored
by wealthy businessmen, many of German descent. The support of these patrons
allowed Ufer and Hennings to travel to the American Southwest, where theylike
so many other talented artistsfell under the spell of Taos and its picturesque
scenery. They also encountered the regions Native peoples and Hispanic culture
that inspired many of their paintings. Despite their mutual interests, Ufer and
Hennings were not identical by any means. Each artist had a distinct artistic style
and, as the essays in this volume reveal, the two men could not have had more
different personalities or career trajectories.
Connoisseurs of southwestern art have long admired the masterworks of Ufer and
Hennings. By offering a rich sampling of their paintings alongside informative
essays by noted art historians, A Place in the Sun ensures that their significant
contributions to American art will be long remembered.

Narrating the Landscape

Print Culture and American Expansion in the Nineteenth Century
By Matthew N. Johnston
The American nineteenth century saw a largely rural nation confined to the
Eastern Seaboard conquer a continent and spawn increasingly dense commercial
metropolises. This time of unprecedented territorial and economic growth has long
been thought to find its most sweeping visual equivalent in the periods landscape
paintings. But, as Matthew N. Johnston shows, the ages defining features were just
as clearly captured in, and motivated by, visual material mass-produced through
innovations in printing technology. Illustrated railroad and steamboat guidebooks,
tourist literature, reports of geological surveys, ethnographic studies: all of these
new print vehicles brought new meanings to the interplay of time, space, and place
as American continental expansion peaked.
Instrumental to that project of national and industrial growth, these commercial

and scientific publications introduced readers, travelers, and citizens to a changing
North American landscape made more accessible by new travel routes blazed
between 1825 and 1875. More fundamentally, as Johnston shows in his nuanced
analysis, by simulating new temporal frameworks through their presentation of
landscape, these print materials established new models of consumption and new
kinds of knowledge critical to expansion.
Johnston relates these sources to traditional art historical subjectsthe landscapes

of the Hudson River school, luminist paintings by John Kensett and William
Trost Richards, Native portraits painted by George Catlin, and photographs by
Timothy OSullivanto show how key discourses associated with expansion shifted
away from picturesque strategies pairing imagery and narrative toward entirely
new forms that gave temporal structure to viewers experience of an emerging
modernity.

During the Spanish Colonial period in Latin America (15211850), precious gold
and silver were crafted into elegant jewelry, then embellished with emeralds from
Colombia, coral from Mexico, and pearls from Venezuela. To demonstrate their
wealth and status, people were painted wearing their finest dress and elaborate
jewelry. Selecting from its permanent collection, the Denver Art Museum installed
the long-running exhibition Glitterati: Portraits and Jewelry in Colonial Latin
America in its Spanish Colonial galleries in December 2014. This lavishly illustrated

Photographing Custers Battlefield

The Images of Kenneth F. Roahen
By Sandy Barnard
In the 140 years since the defeat of George Armstrong Custer and his troops at
the Battle of the Little Big Horn, scholars and other visitors have combed the site
of todays Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument for evidence that might
clarify the controversial events of June 1876. In Photographing Custers Battlefield,
Sandy Barnard, an expert on Custer and the Little Big Horn, presents the work
of the sites most dedicated photographer, U.S. Fish and Game agent Kenneth F.
Roahen (18881976), revealing further mysteries of the battlefield and showing
how it has changed.
Barnard opens by introducing readers to Roahen, who spent the last phase of his
career and his retirement years in Montana, where he made it his personal mission
from the 1930s to the 1970s to photograph what was then called Custer Battlefield.
Among Roahens most useful images are his photographs of the Crows Nest,
the Morass, and Girards Knollplaces whose precise locations have long been
debated. He also made a series of pioneering aerial photographs of the Little Big
Horn and its surrounding landscape.
When paired with Barnards modern-day photographs, maps, and thorough
analysis, Roahens images provide valuable information for visitors to the
monument as well as for historians, biologists, engineers, and other government
employees who interpret, preserve, and protect the battlefield and its surrounding
terrain. In addition to showing sites associated with the fighting, Roahens
photographs depict mid-twentieth-century roadwork, archaeological surveys and
restorations, and construction of the visitor center, park housing, and maintenance
facilities. Barnards matching photographs, taken in 2012 and 2013, help to identify
additional subtle but significant landscape modifications.
The numerous debates surrounding the Battle of the Little Big Horn have made onthe-ground evidence especially important. Roahens photographic legacy, explored
here in more than 300 historic and contemporary images, offers fresh insight into
the battlefields ever-changing landscape, helping visitors old and new to better
understand the history beneath their feet.
Sandy Barnard, a retired journalism professor at Indiana State University, is author
or coauthor of numerous books on the Battle of Little Big Horn, including Where
Custer Fell: Photographs of the Little Bighorn Battlefield Then and Now.

and near-immortality so long as they reached the North Pole first. Of the many
attempts to meet that goal, three American expeditions, launched from the Russian
archipelago of Franz Josef Land, ended in abject failure, their exploits consigned
to near-oblivion. Even so, these venturesthe Wellman expedition (189899), the
Baldwin-Ziegler (19012), and the Fiala-Ziegler (19035)have much to tell us
about the personalities, politics, and economics of exploration in their day. In The
Greatest Show in the Arctic, the first book to chronicle all three expeditions, P. J.
Capelotti explores what went right and what, in the end, went tragically wrong.

The cast of colorful characters from the Franz Josef Land forays included Walter
Wellman, a Chicago journalist and bon vivant running from debts, his mistress, and
an illegitimate daughter; Evelyn Briggs Baldwin, a deranged meteorologist with a
fetish for balloons and a passion for Swedish conserves; and Anthony Fiala, a pious
photographer in search of God in the Arctic. Featuring an international cast of
supporting characters worthy of a three-ring circus, The Greatest Show in the Arctic
follows each of the three expeditions in turn, from spectacular feats of financing to
their bitter ends. Along the way, the explorers accumulated considerable geographic
knowledge and left a legacy of place-names.
Through close study of the expeditions journals, Capelotti reveals that the Franz
Josef Land endeavors foundered chiefly because of poor leadership and internal
friction, not for lack of funding, as historians have previously suspected. Presenting
tales of noble intentions, novel inventions, and epic miscalculations, The Greatest
Show in the Arctic brings fresh life to a unique and underappreciated story of
American exploration.

The Texas Frontier and the Butterfield

Overland Mail, 18581861
By Glen Sample Ely
This is the story of Texass antebellum frontier, from the Red River to El Paso, a raw
and primitive country punctuated by chaos, lawlessness, and violence. During this
time, the federal government and the State of Texas often worked at cross purposes,
their confused and contradictory policies leaving settlers on their own to deal with
vigilantes, lynchings, raiding Native Americans, and Anglo-American outlaws.
Before the Civil War, the Texas frontier was a sectional transition zone, where
southern ideology clashed with western perspectives, and where diverse cultures
with differing worldviews collided.
This is also the tale of the Butterfield Overland Mail, which carried passengers and
mail west from St. Louis to San Francisco through Texas. While it operated, the
transcontinental mail line intersected and influenced much of Texass frontier history.
Through meticulous research, including visits to all the sites he describes, Glen Sample
Ely uncovers the fascinating story of the Butterfield Overland Mail in Texas.
Until the U.S. Army and Butterfield built West Texass infrastructure, the regions
primitive transportation network hampered its development. As Ely shows, the
Butterfield Overland Mail Company and the army jump-started growth, serving
together as both the economic engine and the advance agent for European American
settlement. Used by soldiers, emigrants, freighters, and stagecoaches, the Overland
Mail Road was the nineteenth-century equivalent of the modern interstate highway
system, stimulating passenger traffic, commercial freighting, and business.
Although most of the action takes place within the Lone Star State, this is in many
respects an American tale. The same concerns that challenged frontier residents
confronted citizens across the country. Written in an engaging style that transports
readers to the rowdy frontier and the bustle of the overland road, The Texas Frontier
and the Butterfield Overland Mail offers a rare view of Texass antebellum past.

Ph.D. from Texas Christian University and is the author of Where the West Begins:
Debating Texas Identity.

The definitive history of an incomparable landscape
Sea of Sand
A History of Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve
By Michael M. Geary
Sculpted into graceful contours by countless centuries of wind and water, the Great
Sand Dunes sprawl along the eastern fringes of the vast San Luis Valley of southcentral Colorado. Covering an area of nearly thirty square miles, they are the tallest
aeolian, or wind-produced, dunes in North America, towering 750 feet above the
valley floor. With the addition of the enormous Baca Ranch and other adjacent
lands, the dunesoriginally designated as a National Monument in 1932attained
official National Park status in 2004. In Sea of Sand, Michael M. Geary guides
readers on a historical journey through this unique ecosystem, which includes
an array of natural and cultural wonders, from the main dunefield and verdant
wetlands to the summits of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

Described by explorer Zebulon Pike as a sea in a storm and by frontier

photographer William Henry Jackson as a curious and very singular phase of
natures freak, the Great Sand Dunes are a nexus of more than 10,000 years of
human history, from Paleolithic big-game hunters to nomadic Native Americans,
from Spanish conquistadores and transcontinental explorers to hard-rock miners
and modern-day tourists in motor homes. Like these successive waves of visitors,
Sea of Sand follows the water, analyzing its critical role in the settlement and
development of the region. Geary also describes the profound impact that waves
of human use and settlement have had on the landwhich ultimately inspired
the early grassroots efforts by San Luis Valley citizens to protect the dunes from
further exploitation. He examines as well the more recent legislative effort led by
an unprecedented coalition of local, state, and federal agencies and organizations,
including The Nature Conservancy and the National Park Service, to secure the
Great Sand Dunes national park designation.
Amply illustrated, Sea of Sand is the definitive history of the natural, cultural, and
political forces that helped shape this incomparable landscape.

Bitter Waters
The Struggles of the Pecos River
By Patrick Dearen
Rising at 11,750 feet in the Sangre de Cristo range and snaking 926 miles through
New Mexico and Texas to the Rio Grande, the Pecos River is one of the most
storied waterways in the American West. It is also one of the most troubled. In
1942, the National Resources Planning Board observed that the Pecos River basin
probably presents a greater aggregation of problems associated with land and
water use than any other irrigated basin in the Western U.S. In the twenty-first
century, the rivers problems have only multiplied. Bitter Waters, the first booklength study of the entire Pecos, traces the rivers environmental history from the
arrival of the first Europeans in the sixteenth century to today.
Running clear at its source and turning salty in its middle reach, the Pecos River has
served as both a magnet of veneration and an object of scorn. Patrick Dearen, who
has written about the Pecos since the 1980s, draws on more than 150 interviews
and a wealth of primary sources to trace the rivers natural evolution and mans
interaction with it. Irrigation projects, dams, invasive saltcedar, forest proliferation,
fires, floods, flow decline, usage conflicts, water quality deteriorationDearen
offers a thorough and clearly written account of what each factor has meant to the
river and its prospects. As fine-grained in detail as it is sweeping in breadth, the
picture Bitter Waters presents is sobering but not without hope, as it also extends
to potential solutions to the Pecos Rivers problems and the current efforts to undo
decades of damage.
Combining the research skills of an accomplished historian, the investigative
techniques of a veteran journalist, and the engaging style of an award-winning
novelist, this powerful and accessible work of environmental history may well mark
a turning point in the Pecoss fortunes.
Patrick Dearen, winner of the Spur Award, is an authority on the Pecos and Devils
Rivers and the author of ten nonfiction books and twelve novels, including The Big
Drift, The Illegal Man, To Hell or the Pecos, and Crossing Rio Pecos.

American Indians and Yellowstone National Park
By Peter Nabokov and Lawrence Loendorf
$29.95s Paper 978-0-8061-5346-9
Writer and historian Wallace Stegner once called national parks Americas best
idea. The contributors to this volume use that exceptionalist claim as a starting
point for thinking about an international history of national parks. They explore
the historical interactions and influencesintellectual, political, and material
within and between national park systems in Canada, New Zealand, South Africa,
Indonesia, Antarctica, Brazil, and other countries. What is the role of science in the
history of these preserves? Of politics? What purposes do they serve: Conservation?
Education? Reverence toward nature? Tourist pleasure?
People have thought differently about national parks at different times and in
different places; and neat physical boundaries have been disrupted by wandering
animals, human movements, the spread of disease, and climate change. Viewing
parks around the world, at various scales and across national frontiers, these essays
offer a panoptic view of the common and contrasting cultural and environmental
features of national parks worldwide.
If national parks are, as Stegner said, absolutely American, they are no less part
of the world at large. National Parks beyond the Nation tells us as much about the
multifarious and changing ideas of nature and culture as about the framing of those
ideas in geographic, temporal, and national terms.

Contesting the Borderlands

Interviews on the Early Southwest
By Deborah Lawrence and Jon Lawrence
Conflict and cooperation have shaped the American Southwest since prehistoric
times. For centuries indigenous groups and, later, Spaniards, French, and AngloAmericans met, fought, and collaborated with one another in this border area
stretching from Texas through southern California. To explore the regions
complex past from prehistory to the U.S. takeover, this book uses an unusual
multidisciplinary approach. In interviews with ten experts, Deborah and Jon
Lawrence discuss subjects ranging from warfare among the earliest ancestral
Puebloans to intermarriage and peonage among Spanish settlers and the Indians
they encountered.
The scholars interviewed form a distinguished array of archaeologists,
anthropologists, ethnohistorians, and historians: Juliana Barr, Brian DeLay, Richard
and Shirley Flint, John Kessell, Steven LeBlanc, Mark Santiago, Polly Schaafsma,
David J. Weber, and Michael Wilcox. All speak forthrightly about complex and
controversial issues, and they do so with minimal academic jargon and temporizing,
bringing the most reliable information to bear on every subject they discuss. Themes
the authors address include the origin and scope of conflicts between ethnic groups
and the extent of accommodation, cooperation, and cross-cultural adaptation that
also ensued. Seven interviews explore how Indians forced colonizers to modify their
behavior. All of the experts explain how they deal with incomplete or biased sources
to achieve balanced interpretations.
As the authors point out, no single discipline provides a complete, accurate
historical picture. Spanish documents must be sifted for political and ideological
distortion, the archaeological record is incomplete, and oral traditions erode and
become corrupted over time. By assembling the most articulate practitioners of
all three approaches, the authors have produced a book that will speak to general
readers as well as scholars and students in a variety of fields.

Nowhere else, for example, is the controversy stirred up by Congressman Mike

Synar recounted so well, and Lowitts analysis of the decades-long battle over
grazing rights on federal land clarifies the issues surrounding a topic still in the
news today. Likewise, Lowitts analysis of Oklahomas farm crisis in the 1970s
and 80s extends far beyond the states borders, illuminating significant and subtle
aspects of an artificially engineered agricultural disaster whose consequences
are still felt. His probing of the enigma of Mike Monroney, U.S. senator from
Oklahoma during the McCarthy period, yields valuable insights into the political
nature of the politician, the state, and the times. Other articles span decades, from
the development of the Grand River Dam Authority (19351964) to the damming
of the Arkansas River to create Kaw Reservoir (19571976) and efforts to improve
Indian health in Oklahoma (19541980).
Whether discussing environmental and cultural ecology or plumbing the politics
of Fort Sills entry into the missile age, Lowitts articles are broad in scope and
unsparing in detail. All based on the authors research in the Western History
Collections at the University of Oklahoma, these essays form an invaluable
historical repository, put into clarifying context by one of Oklahomas most
respected historians.

Epics of Empire and Frontier

Alonso de Ercilla and Gaspar de Villagr
as Spanish Colonial Chroniclers
By Celia Lpez-Chvez
First published in 1569, La Araucana, an epic poem written by the Spanish nobleman
Alonso de Ercilla, valorizes the Spanish conquest of Chile in the sixteenth century.
Nearly a half-century later in 1610, Gaspar de Villagr, Mexican-born captain under
Juan de Oate in New Mexico, published Historia de la Nueva Mxico, a historical
epic about the Spanish subjugation of the indigenous peoples of New Mexico. In Epics
of Empire and Frontiera deft cultural, ethnohistorical reading of these two colonial
epics, both of which loom large in the canon of Spanish literatureCelia LpezChvez reveals new ways of thinking about the themes of empire and frontier.
Employing historical and literary analysis that goes from the global to the regional,
and from the sixteenth to the twenty-first centuries, Lpez-Chvez considers Ercilla
and Villagr not only as writers but as citizens and subjects of the powerful Spanish
empire. Although frontiers of conquest have always been central to the regional
histories of the Americas, this is the first work to approach the subject through
epic poetry and the main events in the poets lives. Lpez-Chvez also investigates
the geographical spaces and landmarks where the conquests of Chile and New
Mexico took place, the natural landscape of each area as both the Spanish and the
natives saw it, and the characteristics of the expedition in both regions, with special
attention to the violence of the invasions. In her discussion of law, geography, and
frontier, Lpez-Chvez carries the poems firsthand testimony on the political,
cultural, and social resistance of indigenous people into present-day debates about
regional and national identity.
An interdisciplinary, comparative postcolonial interpretation of the history found in
two poetic narratives of conquest, Epics of Empire and Frontier brings fresh understanding to the role that poetry plays in regional and national memory and culture.

A new explanation of George Washingtons rise to preeminence
Fatal Sunday
George Washington, the Monmouth
Campaign, and the Politics of Battle
By Mark Edward Lender and Garry Wheeler Stone
Historians have long considered the Battle of Monmouth one of the most
complicated engagements of the American Revolution. Fought on Sunday, June
28, 1778, Monmouth was critical to the success of the Revolution. It also marked
a decisive turning point in the military career of George Washington. Without the
victory at Monmouth Courthouse, Washingtons critics might well have marshaled
the political strength to replace him as the American commander-in-chief. Authors
Mark Edward Lender and Garry Wheeler Stone argue that in political terms, the
Battle of Monmouth constituted a pivotal moment in the War for Independence.

Viewing the political and military aspects of the campaign as inextricably entwined,
this book offers a fresh perspective on Washingtons role in it. Drawing on a wide
range of historical sourcesmany never before used, including archaeological
evidenceLender and Stone disentangle the true story of Monmouth and provide
the most complete and accurate account of the battle, including both American and
British perspectives. In the course of their account it becomes evident that criticism
of Washingtons performance in command was considerably broader and deeper
than previously acknowledged. In light of long-standing practical and ideological
questions about his vision for the Continental Army and his ability to win the
war, the outcome at Monmoutha hard-fought tactical drawwas politically
insufficient for Washington. Lender and Stone show how the generals partisans,
determined that the battle for public opinion would be won in his favor, engineered
a propaganda victory for their chief that involved the spectacular court martial of
Major General Charles Lee, the second-ranking officer of the Continental Army.
Replete with poignant anecdotes, folkloric incidents, and stories of heroism and
combat brutality; filled with behind-the-scenes action and intrigue; and teeming
with characters from all walks of life, Fatal Sunday gives us the definitive view of
the fateful Battle of Monmouth.

The Man Who Captured Washington

Major General Robert Ross and the War of 1812
By John McCavitt and Christopher T. George
An Irish officer in the British Army, Major General Robert Ross (17661814) was
a charismatic leader widely admired for his bravery in battle. Despite a military
career that included distinguished service in Europe and North Africa, Ross is better
known for his actions than his name: his 1814 campaign in the Chesapeake Bay
resulted in the burning of the White House and Capitol and the unsuccessful assault
on Baltimore, immortalized in The Star Spangled Banner. The Man Who Captured
Washington is the first in-depth biography of this important but largely forgotten
historical figure.
Drawing from a broad range of sources, both British and American, military
historians John McCavitt and Christopher T. George provide new insight into
Rosss career prior to his famous exploits at Washington, D.C. Educated in
Dublin, Ross joined the British Army in 1789, earning steady promotion as he
gained combat experience. The authors portray him as an ambitious but humane
commanding officer who fought bravely against Napoleons forces on battlefields
in Holland, southern Italy, Egypt, and the Iberian Peninsula. Following the end
of the war in Europe, while still recovering from a near-fatal wound, Ross was
designated to lead an enterprise to America, and in August 1814 he led a small
army to victory in the Battle of Bladensburg. From there his forces moved to the
city of Washington, where they burned public buildings. In detailing this campaign,
McCavitt and George clear up a number of misconceptions, including the claim that
the British burned the entire city of Washington. Finally, the authors shed new light
on the long-debated circumstances surrounding Rosss death on the eve of the Battle
of North Point at Baltimore.
Rosss campaign on the shores of the Chesapeake lasted less than a month, but its
military and political impact was enormous. Considered an officer and a gentleman
by many on both sides of the Atlantic, the general who captured Washington would
in time fade in public memory. Yet, as McCavitt and George show, Rosss strategies
and achievements during the final days of his career would shape American defense
policy for decades to come.

Arthur Chichester: Lord Deputy of Ireland, 16051616 and The Flight of the Earls.

Consortium and founding editor of the Journal of the War of 1812. He is the author

CLASH OF ARMS

Britains Special Operations Executive (SOE), which conducted sabotage campaigns and
supported resistance movements in Axis-occupied Europe and in Asia, is often described
as Winston Churchills brainchild. But as A. R. B. Linderman reveals in this engrossing
history, the real genius behind Britains clandestine warriors was Colin Gubbins, a
British officer who forged the SOE by drawing on lessons learned in irregular conflicts
around the world. Following Gubbins through operations he studied and participated
in, Linderman maps the evolution of the SOE from its origins to its doctrine to its
becoming a critical institution. Part biography, part intellectual and organizational
history, Rediscovering Irregular Warfare is the first book to explore the origins of a
substantial force in the Allies victory in World War II.
Although popular history holds that Britain entered World War II with no prior
knowledge of or experience with underground warfare, Rediscovering Irregular Warfare
tells us otherwise. Linderman finds ample precedent in the clearly documented work of
Gubbins and his fellow clandestine organizers. He traces Gubbinss career from 1914
through World War I and such irregular conflicts as the Allied intervention in Russia, the
Irish Revolution, and conflicts in British India. To these firsthand experiences, Gubbins
added the insights of colleagues who had served with him and in Iraq, as well as what
he learned from the Second Anglo-Boer War, the Arab Revolt led byT. E. Lawrence,
the German guerrilla war in East Africa, the revolt in Palestine between the world
wars, the Spanish Civil War, and the Second Sino-Japanese War. The two booklets
that Gubbins wrote based on his accumulated knowledge offered the first synthesis of
British unconventional warfare doctrine: practical guides that emphasized the centrality
of local populations; the collection, protection, and use of intelligence; the necessity
of cooperating with conventional forces; and the use of speed, surprise, and escape
in ambush operations. In 1940, when Gubbins joined the newly created SOE, the
experience and know-how codified in his guides formed the basis of Britains approach
to irregular warfare.
The history of the SOEs doctrinal origins is Colin Gubbinss story. By telling that story,
Rediscovering Irregular Warfare amplifies and clarifies our understanding of the Second
World Warand of doctrines of unconventional warfare in the twentieth century.
A. R. B. Linderman is a historian of modern Britain and the British Empire. He holds
a Ph.D. in history from Texas A&M University.

Titan
British Power in the Age of Revolution and Napoleon
By William R. Nester
When the leaders of the French Revolution executed Louis XVI and Marie
Antoinette in 1793, they sent a chilling message to the hereditary ruling orders in
Europe. Believing that monarchy anywhere presented a threat to democratic rule
in France, the leaders of the revolution declared war on European aristocracies,
including those of Great Britain. For more than twenty years thereafter, France and
England waged a protracted war that ended in British victory. In Titan, William R.
Nester offers a deeply informed and thoroughly fascinating narrative of how
England accomplished this remarkable feat.
Between 1789 and 1815, British leaders devised, funded, and led seven coalitions
against the revolutionary and Napoleonic governments of France. In each
enterprise, statesmen and generals searched for order amid a complex welter of
bureaucratic, political, economic, psychological, technological, and international
forces. Nester combines biographies of great menthe likes of William Pitt,
Horatio Nelson, and Arthur Wellesleywith an explanation of the critical decisions
they made in Britains struggle for power and his own keen analysis of the forces
that operated beyond their control. Their efforts would eventually crush France
and Napoleon and establish a system of European power relations that prevented a
world war for nearly a century.
The interplay of individuals and events, the importance of conjunctures and
contingency, the significance of Britains island character and resources: all come
into play in Nesters exploration of the art of British military diplomacy. The
result is a comprehensive and insightful account of the endeavors of statesmen and
generals to master the art of power in a complex battle for empire.
William Nester is the acclaimed author of more than thirty books on international
relations, military history, and the nature of power, including The French and
Indian War and the Conquest of New France and the award-winning George
Rogers Clark: I Glory in War.

Most histories of Civil War Texassome starring the fabled Hoods Brigade, Terrys
Texas Rangers, or one or another military figuredepict the Lone Star State as
having joined the Confederacy as a matter of course and as having later emerged
from the war relatively unscathed. Yet as the contributors to this volume amply
demonstrate, the often neglected stories of Texas Unionists and dissenters paint a
far more complicated picture. Ranging in time from the late 1850s to the end of
Reconstruction, Lone Star Unionism, Dissent, and Resistance restores a missing
layer of complexity to the history of Civil War Texas.

The authorsall noted scholars of Texas and Civil War historyshow that slaves,
freedmen and freedwomen, Tejanos, German immigrants, and white women all
took part in the struggle, even though some never found themselves on a battlefield.
Their stories depict the Civil War as a conflict not only between North and South
but also between neighbors, friends, and family members. By framing their stories
in the analytical context of the long Civil War, Lone Star Unionism, Dissent, and
Resistance reveals how friends and neighbors became enemies and how the resulting
violence, often at the hands of secessionists, crossed racial and ethnic lines. The
chapters also show how ex-Confederates and their descendants, as well as former
slaves, sought to give historical meaning to their experiences and find their place as
citizens of the newly re-formed nation.
Concluding with an account of the origins of Juneteenththe nationally celebrated
holiday marking June 19, 1865, when emancipation was announced in Texas
Lone Star Unionism, Dissent, and Resistance challenges the collective historical
memory of Civil War Texas and its place in both the Confederacy and the United
States. It provides material for a fresh narrative, one including people on the
margins of history and dispelling the myth of a monolithically Confederate Texas.

MAXWELL THE CIVIL WAR YEARS IN UTAH
A provocative exploration of the

Civil War period in Utah Territory
The Civil War Years in Utah

The Kingdom of God and the Territory That Did Not Fight
By John Gary Maxwell
In 1832 Joseph Smith, Jr., the Mormons first prophet, foretold of a great war
beginning in South Carolina. In the combatants mutual destruction, Gods purposes
would be served, and Mormon men would rise to form a geographical, political,
and theocratic Kingdom of God to encompass the earth. Three decades later,
when Smiths prophecy failed with the end of the American Civil War, the United
States left torn but intact, the Mormons perspective on the conflictand their
inactivity in itrequired palliative revision. In The Civil War Years in Utah, the
first full account of the events that occurred in Utah Territory during that war, John
Gary Maxwell contradicts the patriotic mythology of Mormon leaders version of
this dark chapter in Utah history.
While the Civil War spread death, tragedy, and sorrow across the continent, Utah
Territory remained virtually untouched. Although the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saintsand its faithfulproudly praise the service of an 1862 Mormon
cavalry company during the Civil War, Maxwells research exposes the relatively
inconsequential contribution of these Nauvoo Legion soldiers. Active for a mere
ninety days, they patrolled overland trails and telegraph lines. Furthermore,
Maxwell finds indisputable evidence of Southern allegiance among Mormon
leaders, despite their claim of staunch, long-standing loyalty to the Union. Men
at the highest levels of Mormon hierarchy were in close personal contact with
Confederate operatives. In seeking sovereignty, Maxwell contends, the Saints
engaged in blatant and treasonous conflict with Union authorities, the California
and Nevada Volunteers, and federal policies, repeatedly skirting open warfare with
the U.S. government.
Collective memory of this consequential period in American history, Maxwell
argues, has been ill-served by a one-sided perspective. This engaging and longoverdue reappraisal finally fills in the gaps, telling the full story of the Civil War
years in Utah Territory.

Motorists traveling along State Highway 104 north of Tucumcari, New Mexico,
may notice a sign indicating the location of Fort Bascom. The post itself is long
gone, its adobe walls washed away. In 1863, the United States, fearing a second
Confederate invasion of New Mexico Territory from Texas, built Fort Bascom. Until
1874, the troops stationed at this site on the Eroded Plains along the Canadian
River defended Hispanic and Anglo-American settlements in eastern New Mexico
and far western Texas against Comanches and other Southern Plains Indians.

In Fort Bascom, James Bailey Blackshear presents the definitive history of this
critical outpost in the American Southwest, along with a detailed view of army
life on the late-nineteenth-century western frontier. Located in the middle of what
General William T. Sherman called an awful country, Fort Bascoms hardships
went beyond the armys efforts to control the Comanches and Kiowas. Blackshear
shows the difficulties of maintaining a post in a harsh environment where scarce
water and forage, long supply lines, poorly constructed facilities, and monotonous
duty tested soldiers endurance.
Fort Bascom also describes the social aspects of a frontier assignment and the
impact of the Comanchero trade on military personnel and objectives, showing just
how difficult it was for the army to subdue the Southern Plains Indians. Crucial to
this enterprise were logistics, including procurement from civilian contractors of
everything from beef to hay. Blackshear examines the strong links between New
Mexican Comancheros and Comanches, detailing how the lure of illegal profits
drew ex-military personnel into this black-market economy and revealing the
influence of the Comanchero trade on Southwestern history.
This first full account of the unique challenges soldiers faced on the Texas frontier
during and after the Civil War restores Fort Bascom to its rightful place in the
history of the U.S. military and of U.S.-Indian relations in the American Southwest.

Somewhere Over There

The Letters, Diary, and Artwork of a World War I Corporal
By Francis H. Webster
Edited by Darrek D. Orwig
Decades before Americans became familiar with the term embedded journalist,
a young cartoonist named Francis Webster embodied that role when he served as
a volunteer infantryman during World War I. Using his skills as an illustrator, he
documented firsthand the harsh realities of combat life and regularly submitted
visual dispatches of his experiences back to an Iowa newspaper. The first published
collection of Websters wartime chronicles, Somewhere Over There, presents a
unique view of World War I through a rare compilation of letters, diary entries,
cartoons, sketches, and watercolors.
As editor Darrek D. Orwig explains in his introduction, Webster gained valuable
trai ning as an illustrator when he worked for famed political cartoonist Jay
Ding Darling during the early years of World War I. When the United States
entered the conflict in 1917, Webster volunteered with the Iowa National Guard
as it prepared for deployment on the western front. His regiment would be part
of the Forty-Second Rainbow Division, one of the first American units to arrive in
France. Websters accounts, rendered in words and pictures, capture the daily life of
a citizen-soldier who trained in stateside camps, traversed the submarine-infested
waters of the Atlantic Ocean, fought in muddy trenches, and recovered in hospitals
from poisonous gas exposure. Webster suffered a mortal wound during the MeuseArgonne Offensive in 1918, when he placed a fellow soldiers safety before his own.
Websters illustrations for the Des Moines Capital helped readers of the time learn
what American soldiers were experiencing over there by bringing news from
the western front to the home front. For nearly ninety years following his death,
Websters family treasured his collection of artwork and writings before donating
it to the Iowa Gold Star Military Museum at Camp Dodge, where it resides today.
This wartime assemblage is amplified by Orwigs enlightening commentary based
on extensive research that places Websters story within the wider narrative of
American involvement in the war to end all wars.

In the past, an excavated musket ball might simply have been catalogued as either
a spherical lead bullet or an impacted bullet. But each recovered ball, far from
being a mere lump of lead, is a part of history and has a story to tell. With the help
of new equipment and research techniques, and an increase in discoveries, these
narratives can finally contribute exacting detail to the historical record. Battlefield
archaeologist Daniel M. Sivilich provides readers with the tools and techniques to
unlock the stories of small shot in this book, the first definitive guide to identifying
musket balls, from the oldest formed to those fired in the early nineteenth century.
Musket Ball and Small Shot Identification: A Guide traces the history of musket
balls and small shot, and explores their uses as lethal projectiles and in nonlethal
alterations. Sivilich asksand answersa variety of questions to demonstrate how
a musket ball found in a military context can help to interpret the site: Was it fired?
What did it hit? What type of gun is it associated with? Has it been chewed, and if
so, by whom or what? Was it hammered into gaming pieces?
By equipping historians and archaeologists with the information necessary for
answering these questions, Sivilichs accessible work opens new views into firing
lines, casualty areas, and military camps. It dispels long-held misperceptions about
lead shot having been bitten by humans, offers examples of shot altered to improve
lethality, and discusses balls made of materials other than lead, such as pewter.
Coupling detailed analysis with more than 300 color and black-and-white
illustrations for comparison and identification, this guide will prove indispensable
to historians, battlefield archeologists, and collectors. It is a critical resource for
understanding the full story of firepower.
Daniel M. Sivilich is a battlefield archaeologist with more than thirty years
experience in the field. He has authored numerous scholarly and popular articles
on Revolutionary Warera historical archaeology. Foreworder David Gerald Orr,

A Field of Their Own

Women and American Indian History, 18301941
By John M. Rhea
One hundred and forty years before Gerda Lerner established womens history as a
specialized field in 1972, a small group of women began to claim American Indian
history as their own domain. A Field of Their Own examines nine key figures in
American Indian scholarship to reveal how women came to be identified with
Indian history and why they eventually claimed it as their own field. From Helen
Hunt Jackson to Angie Debo, the magnitude of their research, the reach of their
scholarship, the popularity of their publications, and their close identification with
Indian scholarship makes their invisibility as pioneering founders of this specialized
field all the more intriguing.
Reclaiming this lost history, John M. Rhea looks at the cultural processes through
which women were connected to Indian history and traces the genesis of their interest
to the nineteenth-century push for womens rights. In the early 1830s evangelical
preachers and womens rights proponents linked American Indians to white womens
religious and social interests. Later, pre-professional women ethnologists would
claim Indians as a special political cause. Helen Hunt Jacksons 1881 publication,
A Century of Dishonor, and Alice Fletchers 1887 report, Indian Education and
Civilization, foreshadowed the emerging history professions objective methodology
and established a document-driven standard for later Indian histories.
By the twentieth century, historians Emma Helen Blair, Louise Phelps Kellogg, and
Annie Heloise Abel, in a bid to boost their professional status, established Indian
history as a formal specialized field. However, enduring barriers continued to
discourage American Indians from pursuing their own document-driven histories.
Cultural and academic walls crumbled in 1919 when Cherokee scholar Rachel
Caroline Eaton earned a Ph.D. in American history. Eaton and later indigenous
historians Anna L. Lewis and Muriel H. Wright would each play a crucial role in
shaping Angie Debos 1940 indictment of European American settler colonialism,
And Still the Waters Run.
Rheas wide-ranging approach goes beyond existing compensatory histories to
illuminate the national consequences of womens century-long hegemony over
American Indian scholarship. In the process, his thoughtful study also chronicles
indigenous womens long and ultimately successful struggle to transform the way
that historians portray American Indian peoples and their pasts.

Imagining Sovereignty
Self-Determination in American Indian Law and Literature
By David J. Carlson
Sovereignty is perhaps the most ubiquitous term in American Indian writing
todaybut its meaning and function are anything but universally understood. This
is as it should be, David J. Carlson suggests, for a concept frequently at the center
of variousand often competingclaims to authority. In Imagining Sovereignty,
Carlson explores sovereignty as a discursive middle ground between tribal
communities and the United States as a settler-colonial power. His work reveals the
complementary ways in which legal and literary texts have generated politically
significant representations of the world, which in turn have produced particular
effects on readers and advanced the cause of tribal self-determination.

Drawing on western legal historical sources and American Indian texts, Carlson
traces a dual genealogy of sovereignty. Imagining Sovereignty identifies the concept
as a marker, one that allows both the colonizing power of the United States and
the resisting powers of various American Indian nations to organize themselves
and their various claims to authority. In the process, sovereignty also functions as
a point of exchange where these claims compete with and complicate one another.
To this end, Carlson analyzes how several contemporary American Indian writers
and critics have sought to fuse literary practices and legal structures into fully
formed discourses of self-determination. After charting the development of the
concept of sovereignty in natural law and its permutations in federal Indian policy,
Carlson maps out the nature and function of sovereignty discourses in the work of
contemporary Native scholars such as Russel Barsh, Gerald Taiaiake Alfred, DArcy
McNickle, and Vine Deloria, and in the work of more expressly literary American
Indian writers such as Craig Womack, Elizabeth Cook-Lynn, Gerald Vizenor, and
Francisco Patencio.
Often read in opposition, the writings of these indigenous authors emerge in
Imagining Sovereignty as a coherent literary and political traditionone whose
varied discourse of sovereignty aptly reflects American Indian peoples diverse
political contexts.

Serving the Nation

Cherokee Sovereignty and Social Welfare, 18001907
By Julie L. Reed
Well before the creation of the United States, the Cherokee people administered
their own social policya form of what today might be called social welfare
based on matrilineal descent, egalitarian relations, kinship obligations, and
communal landholding. The ethic of gadugi, or work coordinated for the social
good, was at the heart of this system. Serving the Nation explores the role of such
traditions in shaping the alternative social welfare system of the Cherokee Nation,
as well as their influence on the U.S. governments social policies.
Faced with removal and civil war in the early and mid-nineteenth century, the
Cherokee Nation asserted its right to build institutions administered by Cherokee
people, both as an affirmation of their national sovereignty and as a community
imperative. The Cherokee Nation protected and defended key features of its
traditional social service policy, expanded social welfare protections to those
deemed Cherokee according to citizenship laws, and modified its policies over time
to continue fulfilling its peoples expectations. Julie L. Reed examines these policies
alongside public health concerns, medical practices, and legislation defining care
and education for orphans, the mentally ill, the differently abled, the incarcerated,
the sick, and the poor.
Changing federal and state policies and practices exacerbated divisions based on
class, language, and education, and challenged the ability of Cherokees individually and
collectively to meet the social welfare needs of their kin and communities. The Cherokee
response led to more centralized national government solutions for upholding social
welfare and justice, as well as to the continuation of older cultural norms.
Offering insights gleaned from reconsidered and overlooked historical sources, this
book enhances our understanding of the history and workings of social welfare
policy and services, not only in the Cherokee Nation but also in the United States.
Serving the Nation is published in cooperation with the William P. Clements Center
for Southwest Studies, Southern Methodist University.

Knoxville.

Ioway Life
Reservation and Reform, 18371860
By Greg Olson
In 1837 the Ioways, an Indigenous people who had called most of present-day
Iowa and Missouri home, were suddenly bound by the Treaty of 1836 with the
U.S. federal government to restrict themselves to a two-hundred-square-mile
parcel of land west of the Missouri River. Forcibly removed to the newly created
Great Nemaha Agency, the Ioway men, women, and children, numbering nearly
a thousand, were promised that through hard work and discipline they could
enter mainstream American society. All that was required was that they give up
everything that made them Ioway. In Ioway Life, Greg Olson provides the first

Within the Great Nemaha Agencys boundaries, the Ioways lived alongside the
U.S. Indian agent, other government employees, and Presbyterian missionaries.
These outside forces sought to manipulate every aspect of the Ioways daily
life, from their manner of dress and housing to the way they planted crops and
expressed themselves spiritually. In the face of the white reformers contradictory
assumptionsthat Indians could assimilate into the American mainstream, and
that they lacked the mental and moral wherewithal to transformthe Ioways
became adept at accepting necessary changes while refusing religious and cultural
conversion. Nonetheless, as Olsons work reveals, agents and missionaries managed
to plant seeds of colonialism that would make the Ioways susceptible to greater
government influence later onin particular, by reducing their self-sufficiency and
undermining their traditional structure of leadership.
Ioway Life offers a complex and nuanced picture of the Ioways efforts to retain
their tribal identity within the constrictive boundaries of the Great Nemaha Agency.
Drawing on diaries, newspapers, and correspondence from the agencys files and
Presbyterian archives, Olson offers a compelling case study in U.S. colonialism and
Indigenous resistance.

Land Too Good for Indians

Northern Indian Removal
By John P. Bowes
The history of Indian removal has often followed a single narrative arc, one that
begins with President Andrew Jacksons Indian Removal Act of 1830 and follows
the Cherokee Trail of Tears. In that conventional account, the Black Hawk War of
1832 encapsulates the experience of tribes in the territories north of the Ohio River.
But Indian removal in the Old Northwest was much more complicatedinvolving
many Indian peoples and more than just one policy, event, or politician. In Land
Too Good for Indians, historian John P. Bowes takes a long-needed closer, more
expansive look at northern Indian removaland in so doing amplifies the history of
Indian removal and of the United States.
Bowes focuses on four case studies that exemplify particular elements of removal
in the Old Northwest. He traces the paths taken by Delaware Indians in response
to Euro-American expansion and U.S. policies in the decades prior to the Indian
Removal Act. He also considers the removal experience among the SenecaCayugas, Wyandots, and other Indian communities in the Sandusky River region of
northwestern Ohio. Bowes uses the 1833 Treaty of Chicago as a lens through which
to examine the forces that drove the divergent removals of various Potawatomi
communities from northern Illinois and Indiana. And in exploring the experiences
of the Odawas and Ojibwes in Michigan Territory, he analyzes the historical
context and choices that enabled some Indian communities to avoid relocation west
of the Mississippi River.
In expanding the context of removal to include the Old Northwest, and adding
a portrait of Native communities there before, during, and after removal, Bowes
paints a more accurateand complicatedpicture of American Indian history in
the nineteenth century. Land Too Good for Indians reveals the deeper complexities
of this crucial time in American history.
John P. Bowes is Associate Professor of History at Eastern Kentucky University and
author of several books on Indian removal, including Exiles and Pioneers: Eastern
Indians in the Trans-Mississippi West.

The Life and Legacy of Zitkala-a
By Tadeusz Lewandowski
Red Bird, Red Power tells the story of one of the most influentialand
controversialAmerican Indian activists of the twentieth century. Zitkala-a
(18761938), also known as Gertrude Simmons Bonnin, was a highly gifted writer,
editor, and musician who dedicated her life to achieving justice for Native peoples.
Here, Tadeusz Lewandowski offers the first full-scale biography of the woman
whose passionate commitment to improving the lives of her people propelled her to
the forefront of Progressive-era reform movements.

Lewandowski draws on a vast array of sources, including previously unpublished

letters and diaries, to recount Zitkala-as unique life journey. Her story begins on the
Dakota plains, where she was born to a Yankton Sioux mother and a white father.
Zitkala-a, whose name translates as Red Bird in English, left home at age eight to
attend a Quaker boarding school, eventually working as a teacher at Carlisle Indian
Industrial School. By her early twenties, she was the toast of East Coast literary
society. Her short stories for the Atlantic Monthly (1900) are, to this day, the focus of
scholarly analysis and debate. In collaboration with William F. Hanson, she wrote the
libretto and songs for the innovative Sun Dance Opera (1913).
And yet, as Lewandowski demonstrates, Zitkala-as successes could not fill the
void of her lost cultural heritage, nor dampen her fury toward the Euro-American
establishment that had robbed her people of their land. In 1926, she founded
the National Council of American Indians with the aim of redressing American
Indian grievances.
Zitkala-as complex identity has made her an intriguingif elusivesubject for
scholars. In Lewandowskis sensitive interpretation, she emerges as a multifaceted
human being whose work entailed constant negotiation. In the end, Lewandowski
argues, Zitkala-as achievements distinguish her as a forerunner of the Red Power
movement and an important agent of change.

South Eastern Huastec Narratives

A Trilingual Edition
Translated and edited by Ana Kondic
South Eastern Huastec, a Mayan language from Mexico, has never before been
written down. Although the master storytellers of the language are long gone,
todays older generations preserve the vast knowledge of their cultural heritage in
speech. That spoken heritage in South Eastern Huastecranging from traditional
house-building techniques to herbal remedies and funerary practicesis gathered
here and transcribed for the first time. Collected and recorded by Ana Kondic in
the village of San Francisco Chontla in La Sierra de Otontepec, Veracruz, Mexico,
between 2007 and 2011, and translated into English and Spanish, the accounts
in this landmark trilingual collection provide a rare opening into South Eastern
Huastec traditions, oral literature, and daily life.
Kondic divides South Eastern Huastec Narratives into five thematic sections:
traditional practices, contemporary life, stories, songs, and customary foodways.
Within these categories, eighteen Huastec narrators describe local beliefs, religion,
rituals, and cosmology as observed in cleansing ceremonies and celebrations. They
detail building methods and traditional craftsmanship, the care of children, daily
routines, and use of the South Eastern Huastec language itself. They recount stories
and legendsof killer coyotes, drunken horsemen, and encounters with deathand
explain the preparation of tamales, coffee, and hand-pressed tortillas. Wherever
possible, Kondic retains in her transcriptions the unique characteristics of each
speakers voicethe self-corrections, repetitions, and pauses. Her morphological
analysis of South Eastern Huastec will help experts understand the language more
deeply. An accompanying audio-video DVD-ROM allows readers the rare chance to
hear and see these narrators tell their stories in their own language.
Of the approximately 100,000 people who speak the Huastec language, only about
12,000 use the South Eastern variety presented here. As the only book recording
and analyzing this endangered language, this collection of narratives is a crucial
document for preserving the South Eastern Huastec language, and the remarkable
culture it conveys. The book includes a CD-ROM with both audio and video tracks.
Ana Kondic is Visiting Postdoctoral Fellow in the Language and Culture Research
Center at James Cook University, Australia, and author of journal articles and book
chapters on the Huastec language.

station. Meanwhile, confident of its future, the Cherokee Nation sets about building a
civilization of its own with a national capital, legislature, code of laws, and diplomatic
negotiations with Washington. Now, all the Cherokee Nation needs is a syllabary to
write its own languagea goal that will be achieved during the time period covered
in volume 7 of Records of the Moravians Among the Cherokees.
Records of the Moravians Among the Cherokees uses original diaries, minutes,
reports, and correspondence in the Moravian Archives in North Carolina to provide
a firsthand account of daily life among the Cherokee throughout the nineteenth

Nicodemus
Post-Reconstruction Politics and Racial Justice in Western Kansas
By Charlotte Hinger
Pushed out of the South as Reconstruction ended and as white landowners,
employers, and Redeemer governments sought to reestablish the constraints
of slavery, thousands of African Americans migrated west in search of better
opportunities. As the first well-known all-black community on the plains, Nicodemus,
Kansas, became a national exemplar of black self-improvement. But Nicodemus also
embodied many of the problems facing African Americans during this time. Diverging
philosophies within the community, Charlotte Hinger argues, foretold the differences
that continue to divide black politicians and intellectuals today.
At the time Nicodemus was founded, politicians underestimated the power of
African American voters. But three of the towns black homesteadersAbram
Thompson Hall, Jr., Edward Preston McCabe, and John W. Nilesexerted
extraordinary influence over county, state, and national politics. Hinger examines
their divergent strategies for leading their community and for relating to white
people, which reflected emerging black worldviews across the United States as
African Americans grappled with the responsibilities accompanying their new
freedom. Hall supported racial uplift, McCabe insisted on achieving equality
through politics and legislation, and Niles advocated reparations for slavery.
Hall and McCabe, both northerners, had distinguished educations, while Niles,
a former slave, was a gifted orator. Their differing approaches to creating a new
civilization on the prairie, seeking justice for blacks, and improving the situation
of Nicodemus citizens roiled Kansas politics, already in turmoil over temperance
and womans suffrage.
Nicodemus was a microcosm of all the issues facing black Americans in the late
nineteenth century, and Hall, McCabe, and Niles are archetypes for powerful
philosophies that have persisted into the twenty-first century. This study of their
ideas and the ways they shaped Nicodemus offers a novel perspective on the most
famous postCivil War African American community in the West.
Award-winning novelist and independent historian Charlotte Hinger is the author
of several articles and encyclopedia entries on African American history in the West
and the novels Come Spring, Deadly Descent, Lethal Lineage, and Hidden Heritage.

The Rise and Fall of the Voting Rights Act

By Charles S. Bullock III, Ronald Keith Gaddie, and Justin J. Wert
On June 25, 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its decision in Shelby
County v. Holder, invalidating a key provision of voting rights law. The decision
the culmination of an eight-year battle over the power of Congress to regulate state
conduct of electionsmarked the closing of a chapter in American politics. That
chapter had opened a century earlier in the case of Guinn v. United States, which
ushered in national efforts to knock down racial barriers to the ballot. A detailed
and timely history, The Rise and Fall of the Voting Rights Act analyzes changing
legislation and the future of voting rights in the United States.

In tracing the development of the Voting Rights Act from its inception, Charles S.
Bullock III, Ronald Keith Gaddie, and Justin J. Wert begin by exploring the political
and legal aspects of the Jim Crow electoral regime. Detailing both the subsequent
struggle to enact the law and its impact, they explain why the Voting Rights Act
was necessary. The authors draw on court cases and election data to bring their
discussion to the present with an examination of the 2006 revision and renewal of
the act, and its role in shaping the southern political environment in the 2008 and
2012 presidential elections, when Barack Obama was chosen. Bullock, Gaddie, and
Wert go on to closely evaluate the 2013 Shelby County decision, describing how the
ideological makeup of the Supreme Court created an appellate environment that
made the act ripe for a challenge.
Rigorous in its scholarship and thoroughly readable, this book goes beyond history
and analysis to provide compelling and much-needed insight into the ways voting
rights legislation has shaped the United States. The Rise and Fall of the Voting Rights
Act illuminates the historical rootsand the human consequencesof a critical
chapter in U.S. legal history.

Acts of Compassion in Greek Tragic Drama

By James Franklin Johnson
The ability of human beings to feel compassion or empathy for one anotherand
express that emotion by offering comfort or assistanceis an important antidote
to violence and aggression. In ancient Greece, the epics of Homer and the tragic
dramas performed each spring in the ater of Dionysus offered citizens valuable
lessons concerning the necessity and proper application of compassionate action.
This book is the first full-length examination of compassion (eleos or oiktos in
Greek) as a dramatic theme in ancient Greek literature.
Through careful textual analysis, James F. Johnson surveys the treatment of
compassion in the epics of Homer, especially the Iliad, and in the works of
the three great Athenian tragedians: Aischylos, Euripedes, and Sophokles. He
emphasizes reciprocity, reverence, and retribution as defining features of Greek
compassion during the Homeric and Archaic periods. In framing his analysis,
Johnson distinguishes compassion from pity. Whereas in English the word pity
suggests an attitude of superiority toward the sufferer, the word compassion
has a more positive connotation and implies equality in status between subject
and object. Although scholars have conventionally translated eleos and oiktos as
pity, Johnson argues that our modern-day notion of compassion comes closest
to encompassing the meaning of those two Greek words. Beginning with Homer,
eleos normally denotes an emotion that entails action of some sort, whereas oiktos
usually refers to the emotion itself. Johnson also draws associations between
compassion and the concepts of fear and pity, which Aristotle famously attributed
to tragedy.
Because the Athenian plays are tragedies, they mainly show the disastrous
consequences of a world where compassion falls short. At the same time, they
offer glimpses into a world where compassion can generate a more beneficialand
therefore more hopefuloutcome. Their message resonates with todays readers as
much as it did for fifth-century Athenians.
James F. Johnson is Professor Emeritus of Classics at Austin College, Sherman,
Texas, and is coeditor of Workbooks I and II to accompany Athenaze, a textbook
series for learning ancient Greek.

DAILY LIFE IN THE ROMAN CITY
Rome, Pompeii, and Ostia
By Gregory S. Aldrete
$19.95s Paper 978-0-8061-4027-8
The enduring attraction of Juvenals satires is twofold: they not only introduce the
character of the angry satirist but also offer vivid descriptions of everyday life in
Rome at the height of the Empire. In Larmours interpretation, these two elements
are inextricably linked. The Arena of Satire presents the satirist as flaneur traversing
the streets of Rome in search of its authentic corethose distinctly Roman virtues
that have disappeared amid the corruption of the age. What the vengeful, punishing
satirist does to his victims, as Larmour shows, echoes what the Roman state did to
outcasts and criminals in the arena of the Colosseum.
The fact that the arena was the most prominent building in the city and is
mentioned frequently by Juvenal makes it an ideal lens through which to examine
the spectacular and punishing characteristics of Roman satire. And the fact that
Juvenal undertakes his search for the uncorrupted, authentic Rome within the very
buildings and landmarks that make up the actual, corrupt Rome of his day gives
his sixteen satires their uniquely paradoxical and contradictory nature. Larmours
exploration of the arena of satire guides us through Juvenals search for the true
Rome, winding from one poem to the next. He combines close readings of passages
from individual satires with discussions of Juvenals representation of Roman
space and topography, the nature of the arena experience, and the network of
connections among the satirist, the gladiator, and the editoror producerof
Colosseum entertainments. The Arena of Satire also offers a new definition of
Juvenalian satire as a particular form arising from the intersection of the body
and the urban landscapea form whose defining features survive in the works of
several later satirists, from Jonathan Swift and Evelyn Waugh to contemporary
writers such as Russian novelist Victor Pelevin and Irish dramatist Martin
McDonagh.

The story of Codys efforts

The Swan name is inseparable from the history of Wyoming

and the West, and when Swan made his mark in Wyoming
in the 1880s, ranching was king. The Swan Land and Cattle
Company, Ltd., was one of the largest livestock companies in
the American West, and it survived long after Swans financial
debacle in the winter of 188687.
Celebrated showman of the Old West, William F. Buffalo

Bill Cody took on another role unknown to most Americans,
that of the western land developer and town promoter. In this
captivating study, Robert E. Bonner demonstrates that the skills
Cody acquired from decades in show business failed to prepare
him for the demanding arena of business and finance.
Lawrence M. Woods has combed the surviving corporate

records, and other documents in the United States and abroad,
to relate the life of Alex Swan and offer a complete history of
the Swan companies. At the height of his financial life, Swan
was said to be the richest man in Wyoming Territory, and
his influence extended beyond business affairs to community
service, both in Wyoming and in Iowa. The Swan companies
continued operation into the mid-twentieth century.

William H. (Alfalfa Bill) Murray is

one of the most important figures in
Oklahomas political history.
During the struggle for statehood Murray
waged a hard battle over the constitution,
taking on President Theodore Roosevelt
and Secretary of War William Howard
Taft. As Oklahoma governor, Murray
challenged the oil industry, newspapers,
and the state of Texas, enforcing his
programs with the National Guard.
Flamboyant, unpredictable, and stubborn,
Alfalfa Bill became a legend.

Joseph Reddeford Walker trapped beaver

in the Rockies, bartered with Plains
Indians, drove cattle and horses, and
guided emigrants and explorers. En route
from Colorado to Arizona in 1861, Daniel
Ellis Conner joined Walkers party and
kept a four-year travel diary, relating his
hair-raising adventures with the mountain

Pictographs of the Reservation

Period, 18802000
By L. James Dempsey
When the Blackfoot Indians were confined
to reservations in the late nineteenth
century, their pictographic representations
of warfare kept alive the rituals associated
with war, essential facets of Blackfoot
culture. Their war ethic unified the tribes
of the Blackfoot NationSiksika, Blood,
and North and South Piegan.
In this visually stunning survey, L. James
Dempsey skillfully weaves together
pictures, people, and histories to convey a

FRAMING THE SACRED
Christopher Wetzel finds that language

revitalization programs promote the
exchange of cultural knowledge, affirm
collective enterprise, and remind people of
their place in a national community. Here,
the Potawatomis have the last word, as
readers witness conversations that shape
the ever-evolving Potawatomi Nation.
Christian churches erected in Mexico

during the colonial era represented the
triumph of European conquest and
religious domination. Yet European
authorities failed to recognize the
challenge inherent in the pre-Columbian
iconography integrated into Christian
imagery and altars oriented toward
indigenous sacred landmarks.
WE KNOW WHO WE ARE
Following the 1833 Treaty of Chicago, the

Potawatomis, once concentrated around
southern Lake Michigan, dispersed into
nine bands across four states and two
countries. How have these scattered
people reclaimed their heritage as
Potawatomis?
Of primarily Chippewa, Cree, French,

and Scottish descent, the Mtis people
have flourished in Canada and the
northwestern United States for nearly two
hundred years. Yet their Mtis identity
is often ignored in the United States,
where they have never received federal
recognition.

The Cherokees are celebrated for their

fact that the Cherokee nationalism was
formulated long before the nineteenth
century has been overlooked. From 1740
until 1762 Cherokees in North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia
were a homogeneous peopleuntil
French-English rivalry split the nation
into two forces. The story of Cherokee
statesmanship in terms of Indian

Fort Union was the final Confederate

Anatomy of a High-Plains Senate Race

By Jon K. Lauck
The Map Turtle and

Drug Politics is by a man who knows

this disturbing and dangerous subject.
A former U.S. ambassador to Peru
(198486), David C. Jordan has testified
before the U.S. Senate and House Foreign
Relations committees and has consulted
with government security organizations.
His account of government protection
of criminal elements challenges the
assumptions of current drug policies.
Using examples from South America,
Mexico, Russia, and the United States,
Jordan shows the narcotics problem is not
merely one of supply and demand.
The race between Tom Daschle and

John Thune in South Dakota, widely
acknowledged as the other big race of
2004, pitted against each other the rival
political ideologies that have animated
American politics since the 1960s. In a sign
of the strength of political conservatism,
Daschle became the first Senate leader in
fifty years to lose a reelection bid. Daschle
vs. Thune shows how the recent past
shapes the ongoing political battles that
