Explores Christie’s life and outlaw legend
MIHESUAH NED CHRISTIE

Ned Christie
The Creation of an Outlaw and Cherokee Hero
By Devon Abbott Mihesuah
Who was Nede Wade Christie? Was he a violent criminal guilty of murdering a
federal officer? Or a Cherokee statesman who suffered a martyr’s death for a crime
he did not commit? For more than a century, journalists, pulp fiction authors, and
even serious historians have produced largely fictitious accounts of “Ned” Christie’s
life. Now, in a tour de force of investigative scholarship, Devon Abbott Mihesuah
offers a far more accurate depiction of Christie and the times in which he lived.
In 1887 Deputy U.S. Marshal Dan Maples was shot and killed in Tahlequah, Indian
Territory. As Mihesuah recounts in unsurpassed detail, any of the criminals in the
vicinity at the time could have committed the crime. Yet the federal court at Fort
Smith, Arkansas, focused on Christie, a Cherokee Nation councilman and adviser to
the tribal chief. Christie evaded capture for five years. His life ended when a posse
dynamited his home—knowing he was inside—and shot him as he emerged from MARCH

as well. His teenage cousin Arch Wolfe was sentenced to prison, and ultimately
perished in the Canton Asylum for “insane” Indians—a travesty that, Mihesuah
shows, may even surpass the injustice of Nede’s fate. Of Related Interest
Placing Christie’s story within the rich context of Cherokee governance and
nineteenth-century American political and social conditions, Mihesuah draws
on hundreds of newspaper accounts, oral histories, court documents, and family
testimonies to assemble the most accurate portrayal of Christie’s life possible. Yet
the author admits that for all this information, we may never know the full story,
because Christie’s own voice is largely missing from the written record. In addition, CHEROKEE THOUGHTS

A Crooked River
Rustlers, Rangers, and Regulars on the
Lower Rio Grande, 1861–1877
By Michael L. Collins
During the turbulent years of the Civil War and Reconstruction, a squall of violence
and lawlessness swept through the Nueces Strip and the Rio Grande Valley in
southern Texas. Cattle rustlers, regular troops, and Texas Rangers, as well as
Civil War deserters and other characters of questionable reputation, clashed with
Mexicans, Germans, and Indians over unionism, race, livestock, land, and national
sovereignty, among other issues. In A Crooked River, Michael L. Collins presents a
rousing narrative of these events that reflects perspectives of people on both sides of
the Rio Grande.

A mountaineer tells her story of personal adversity and triumph
PARNELL OFF TRAIL

Off Trail
Finding My Way Home in the Colorado Rockies
By Jane Parnell
Only one person believed Jane Parnell when she reported being raped at twenty-
one: the mountain man who first led her up one peak after another in the Colorado
Rockies and who then became her husband. Parnell took to mountaineering in the
Rocky Mountains as a means to overcome her family’s history of mental illness and
the trauma of the rape. By age thirty she became the first woman to climb the 100
highest peaks of the state. But regaining her footing could not save her by-now-
failing marriage. Unprepared emotionally and financially for singlehood, she kept
climbing—the 200 highest peaks, then nearly all of the 300 highest. The mountains
were the one anchor in her life that held.
Finding few contemporary role models to validate her ambition, Parnell looked
to the past for inspiration—to English travel writer Isabella Bird, who also sought
refuge and transformation in the Colorado Rockies, notably by climbing Longs JANUARY

Timeless Patterns and Their Impact on Our Well-Being

For centuries, men and women have sought to express beauty in architecture and

beauty plays such an important role in our lives.
Founded on a series of lectures that architect Donald H. Ruggles has given over
the past ten years, Beauty, Neuroscience, and Architecture: Timeless Patterns and

“Since the beginning of time,” Ruggles notes, people have “looked for certain

when that need is filled, a sense of safety and comfort is created.” In Beauty,

architectural experience to delve into the forces behind the transformative emotion
of beauty. Focusing on new discoveries in the science of the mind and neuroscience,
as well as recent developments in fractal geometry theory, microbiology, and

the American West in the French imagination
Transnational Frontiers
The American West in France
By Emily C. Burns
When Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show traveled to Paris in 1889, the New York Times
reported that the exhibition would be “managed to suit French ideas.” But where
had those “French ideas” of the American West come from? And how had they,
in turn, shaped the notions of “cowboys and Indians” that captivated the French
imagination during the Gilded Age? In Transnational Frontiers, Emily C. Burns
maps the complex fin-de-siècle cultural exchanges that revealed, defined, and altered
images of the American West.
This lavishly illustrated visual history shows how American artists, writers,
and tourists traveling to France exported the dominant frontier narrative that VOLUME 29 IN THE CHARLES M. RUSSELL

as the performers themselves, deftly negotiated the politics of American Indian
assimilation and sought alternative spaces abroad. Of Related Interest
For French artists and enthusiasts, the West served as a fulcrum for the construction
of an American cultural identity, offering a chance to debate ideas of primitivism
and masculinity that bolstered their own colonialist discourses. By examining this
process, Burns reveals the interconnections between American western art and
Franco-American artistic exchange between 1865 and 1915.

Over the course of a sojourn in North America between 1857 and 1862, the
Capuchin priest Antoine Marie Gachet from Fribourg, Switzerland, spent two and a
half years among the Menominee Indians of Wisconsin. As part of his pastoral and
missionary work Gachet engaged in ethnographic and linguistic studies, resulting
in a Menominee grammar, a diary account of his labors, and an ethnographic
collection.

perspectives on the 1890 movement
A Whirlwind Passed through Our Country

Lakota Voices of the Ghost Dance
By Rani-Henrik Andersson
Foreword by Raymond J. DeMallie
The inception of the Ghost Dance religion in 1890 marked a critical moment
in Lakota history. Yet, because this movement alarmed government officials,
culminating in the infamous massacre at Wounded Knee of 250 Lakota men,
women, and children, historical accounts have most often described the Ghost
Dance from the perspective of the white Americans who opposed it. In A Whirlwind
Passed through Our Country, historian Rani-Henrik Andersson instead gives
Lakotas a sounding board, imparting the multiplicity of Lakota voices on the Ghost
Dance at the time.
Whereas early accounts treated the Ghost Dance as a military or political

movement, A Whirlwind Passed through Our Country stresses its peaceful nature

society even as it spurred genuine religious belief. These accounts, many of them
AMERICAN INDIAN/U.S. HISTORY
never before translated from the original Lakota or published, demonstrate that the
Ghost Dance’s message resonated with Lakotas across artificial “progressive” and
Of Related Interest
“nonprogressive” lines. Although the movement was often criticized as backward
and disconnected from the harsh realities of Native life, Ghost Dance adherents
were in fact seeking new ways to survive, albeit not those contemporary whites
envisioned for them. The Ghost Dance, Andersson suggests, might be better
understood as an innovative adaptation by the Lakotas to the difficult situation in
which they found themselves—and as a way of finding a path to a better life.

Converting the Rosebud

Catholic Mission and the Lakotas, 1886–1916
By Harvey Markowitz
When Andrew Jackson’s removal policy failed to solve the “Indian problem,” the
federal government turned to religion for assistance. Nineteenth-century Catholic
and Protestant reformers eagerly founded reservation missions and boarding
schools, hoping to “civilize and Christianize” their supposedly savage charges. In
telling the story of the Saint Francis Indian Mission on the Sicangu Lakota Rosebud
Reservation, Converting the Rosebud illuminates the complexities of federal Indian
reform, Catholic mission policy, and pre- and post-reservation Lakota culture.
Author Harvey Markowitz frames the history of the Saint Francis Mission
within a broader narrative of the battles waged on a national level between the
Catholic Church and the Protestant organizations that often opposed its agenda

Cherokee Narratives
A Linguistic Study
By Durbin Feeling, William Pulte, and Gregory Pulte
Foreword by Bill John Baker
The stories of the Cherokee people presented here capture in written form tales
of history, myth, and legend for readers, speakers, and scholars of the Cherokee
language. Assembled by noted authorities on Cherokee, this volume marks an
unparalleled contribution to the linguistic analysis, understanding, and preservation
of Cherokee language and culture.
Cherokee Narratives spans the spectrum of genres, including humor, religion, origin
myths, trickster tales, historical accounts, and stories about the Eastern Cherokee
language. These stories capture the voices of tribal elders and form a living record
of the Cherokee Nation and Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians’ oral tradition.
Each narrative appears in four different formats: the first is interlinear, with each JANUARY
line shown in the Cherokee syllabary, a corresponding roman orthography, and a $29.95s CLOTH 978-0-8061-5986-7

Caddoan lore as manifestations of colonialism
Monsters of Contact
Historical Trauma in Caddoan Oral Traditions
By Mark van de Logt
A murderous whirlwind, an evil child-abducting witch-woman, a masked cannibal,
terrifying scalped men, a mysterious man-slaying flint creature: the oral tradition of
the Caddoan Indians is alive with monsters. Whereas Western historical methods
and interpretations relegate such beings to the realms of myth and fantasy, Mark
van de Logt argues in Monsters of Contact that creatures found in the stories of
the Caddos, Wichitas, Pawnees, and Arikaras actually embody specific historical
events and the negative effects of European contact: invasion, war, death, disease,
enslavement, starvation, and colonialism.
Van de Logt examines specific sites of historical interaction between American

Indians and Europeans, from the outbreaks and effect of smallpox epidemics on the
Arikaras, to the violence and enslavement Caddos faced at the hands of Hernando
JUNE de Soto’s expedition, and Wichita encounters with Spanish missionaries and French

traditions, otherwise obscure the meaning of such tales and their “monsters.”
Although Western historical methods have become the standard in much of the
world, van de Logt demonstrates that indigenous forms of history are no less
valuable, and that oral traditions and myths can be useful sources of historical
information. A daring interpretation of Caddoan lore, Monsters of Contact puts
oral traditions at the center of historical inquiry and, in so doing, asks us to

Reservations, Removal, and Reform

The Mission Indian Agents of Southern California, 1878–1903
By Valerie Sherer Mathes and Phil Brigandi
Inseparable from the history of the Indians of Southern California is the role of
the Indian agent—a government functionary whose chief duty was, according to
the Office of Indian Affairs, to “induce his Indian to labor in civilized pursuits.”
Offering a portrait of the Mission Indian agents of the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries, Reservations, Removal, and Reform reveals how individual
agents interpreted this charge, and how their actions and attitudes affected the lives
of the Mission Indians of Southern California.
This book tells the story of the government agents, both special and regular,
who served the Mission Indians from 1850 to 1903, with an emphasis on seven
regular agents who served from 1878 to 1903. Relying on the agents’ reports and
correspondence as well as newspaper articles and court records, authors Valerie

Stoking the Fire

Nationhood in Cherokee Writing, 1907–1970
By Kirby Brown
The years between Oklahoma statehood in 1907 and the 1971 reemergence of the
Cherokee Nation are often seen as an intellectual, political, and literary “dark age”
in Cherokee history. In Stoking the Fire, Kirby Brown brings to light a rich array of
writing that counters this view. A critical reading of the work of several twentieth-
century Cherokee writers, this book reveals the complicated ways their writings
reimagined, enacted, and bore witness to Cherokee nationhood in the absence of a
functioning Cherokee state.
Historian Rachel Caroline Eaton (1869–1938), novelist John Milton Oskison

(1874–1947), educator Ruth Muskrat Bronson (1897–1982), and playwright
Rollie Lynn Riggs (1899–1954) are among the writers Brown considers within the
Cherokee trans/national contexts that informed their lives and work. Facing the

national memory. More broadly, the book expands how we think today about

A crucial resource for scholars and general audiences
HOIJER, WIER TONKAWA TEXTS

Tonkawa Texts
A New Linguistic Edition
Compiled by Harry Hoijer
Translated and edited by Thomas R. Wier
Although tribal traditions survive among the Tonkawa people, now located in
northern Oklahoma, the Tonkawa language has been extinct for more than 75
years. Much of what is known about Tonkawa—an “isolate” language, related to
no others—comes to us through the stories collected and translated by twentieth-
century anthropologist Harry Hoijer. These texts, constituting the entire remaining
oral literature of the Tonkawa people, are edited and presented here in the original
Tonkawa and newly translated into English, along with a new and up-to-date
grammatical description.
Hoijer’s original transcriptions were largely unannotated and unglossed and were

Frustrated Ambition
General Vicente Lim and the Philippine

Vicente Podico Lim (1888–1944) was once his country’s best-known soldier. The
first Filipino to graduate from West Point and a graduate of the U.S. Army War
College, Lim figured in every significant military development in the Philippines
during his thirty years in uniform. Frustrated Ambition is the first in-depth
biography of this forgotten figure, whose career paralleled the early-twentieth-
century history of the Philippine military.
As independence seemed increasingly likely for the Philippines in the 1930s,

Lim positioned himself to take a leading role in developing armed forces for a
sovereign nation. But as Lim maneuvered behind the scenes, Manuel L. Quezon,

CLEMIS THE CONTROL WAR
The Control War

The Struggle for South Vietnam, 1968–1975
By Martin G. Clemis
The Vietnam War—a conflict defined by an ever-evolving mixture of conventional
and guerrilla warfare and mass politics—has often been called a “war
without fronts.” In fact, Vietnam had a multitude of fronts, as insurgents and
counterinsurgents wrestled for control throughout 44 provinces, 250 districts,
and more than 11,000 hamlets. In The Control War, Martin G. Clemis focuses on
South Vietnam, where a highly complex politico-military struggle fragmented the
battlefield along countless divergent points of conflict as both sides sought spatial
and political hegemony.
Complicating the conventional view that the Vietnam War was about winning “hearts
and minds,” Clemis argues that both sides were more interested in asserting control over
the people—and resources—of the countryside. As in other revolutionary civil conflicts,

and socioeconomic policy to achieve them.
Revealing the unique spatiality of the Vietnam War, The Control War analyzes the
ways that both sides of the conflict conceptualized and used geography and the
environment to serve strategic, tactical, and political ends. Clemis shows us that the
operational environment of Vietnam, both natural and human-made, was far more

African American leaders such as Frederick Douglass long advocated military
service as an avenue to equal citizenship for black Americans. Yet segregation in

an executive order in 1948. What followed, at home and in the field, is the subject

The Civil War Letters of Lt. Edward G. Granger
Edited by Sandy Barnard
Compiled by Thomas E. Singelyn
In August 1862, nineteen-year-old Edward G. Granger joined the 5th Michigan
Cavalry Brigade as a second lieutenant. On August 20, 1863, the newly promoted
Brig. Gen. George Armstrong Custer appointed Granger as one of his aides, a
position Granger would hold until his death in August 1864. Many of the forty-
four letters the young lieutenant wrote home during those two years, introduced
and annotated here by leading Custer scholar Sandy Barnard, provide a unique look
into the words and actions of his legendary commander. At the same time, Granger’s
correspondence offers an intimate picture of life on the picket lines of the Army of
the Potomac and a staff officer’s experiences in the field.

A fresh evaluation of eight department commanders
UTLEY THE COMMANDERS

who served in the trans-Mississippi West
The Commanders
Civil War Generals Who Shaped the American West
By Robert M. Utley
Taking a novel approach to the military history of the post–Civil War West,
distinguished historian Robert M. Utley examines the careers of seven military
leaders who served as major generals for the Union in the Civil War, then as
brigadier generals in command of the U.S. Army’s western departments. By
examining both periods in their careers, Utley makes a unique contribution in
delineating these commanders’ strengths and weaknesses.
While some of the book’s subjects—notably Generals George Crook and Nelson A.
Miles—are well known, most are no longer widely remembered. Yet their actions
were critical in the expansion of federal control in the West. The commanders
effected the final subjugation of American Indian tribal groups, exercising direct
oversight of troops in the field as they fought the wars that would bring Indians

How and why Catholic Priests entered the

Patriot Priests
French Catholic Clergy and National Identity in World War I
By Anita Rasi May
After serving two and a half years as a stretcher-bearer on the Western Front, Jesuit
priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin wrote that he would “a thousand times rather be
throwing grenades or handling a machine gun than be supernumerary as I am now.”
Mobilized by military laws dating to 1889 and 1905 that opened the clergy’s ranks
to conscription and removed their exemption from combat, Teilhard and his fellow
men of the cloth served France in the tens of thousands—and nearly half of them
served in combat positions. Patriot Priests tells us how these men came to be at war
and how their experiences transformed them and French society at large.
The letters and diaries of these priests reveal how they adapted to the battlefields
of World War I. Influenced by patriotic ideals of bravery, they went into the
war hoping to make converts for the Catholic Church, which had long been
FEBRUARY marginalized by the Third Republic’s secularizing policies. But through direct

Was the American Revolution a just war?
MOOTS, HAMILTON JUSTIFYING REVOLUTION

Justifying Revolution
Law, Virtue, and Violence in the American War of Independence
Edited by Glenn A. Moots and Phillip Hamilton
The American imagination still exalts the “Founding Fathers” as the prime movers
of the Revolution, and the War of Independence has become the stuff of legend. But
America is not simply the invention of great men or the outcome of an inevitable
political or social movement. The nation was the product of a hard, bloody, and
destructive war. Justifying Revolution explores how the American Revolution’s
opposing sides wrestled with thorny moral and legal questions. How could
revolutionaries justify provoking a civil war, how should their opponents subdue
the uprising, and how did military commanders restrain the ensuing violence?
Drawing from a variety of disciplines and specialties, the authors assembled

here examine the Revolutionary War in terms of just war theory: jus ad bellum,
jus in bello, and jus post bellum—right or justice in going to, conducting, and

Presidents Who Shaped the American West

By Glenda Riley and Richard W. Etulain
Generations of Americans have seen the West as beyond federal control and
direction. But the national government’s presence in the West dates to before Lewis
and Clark, and since 1789 a number of U.S. presidents have had a penetrating and
long-lasting impact on the region. In Presidents Who Shaped the American West,
noted historians Glenda Riley and Richard W. Etulain present startling analyses of
chief executives and their policies, illuminating the long reach of presidential power.
The authors begin each chapter by sketching a particular president’s biography

and explaining the political context in which he operated while in office. They
then consider overarching actions and policies that affected both the nation and
the region during the president’s administration, such as Thomas Jefferson’s
augmentation of the West via the Louisiana Purchase, and Andrew Jackson’s
removal of American Indians from the Southeast to “Indian Country” in the West.

In this lively narrative, business history writer Joe Dobrow traces the origins of

Transporting readers back to a dramatic time in the late 1800s, Dobrow spotlights a

A shoot-out more fatal than the OK Corral gunfight

OSSELAER ARIZONA'S DEADLIEST GUNFIGHT
Arizona’s Deadliest Gunfight

Draft Resistance and Tragedy at the Power Cabin, 1918
By Heidi J. Osselaer
On a cold winter morning, Jeff Power was lighting a fire in his remote Arizona
cabin when he heard a noise, grabbed his rifle, and walked out the front door.
Someone in the dark shouted, “Throw up your hands!” Shots rang out from inside
and outside the cabin, and when it was all over, Jeff’s sons, Tom and John, emerged
to find the sheriff and his two deputies dead, and their father mortally wounded.
Arizona’s deadliest shoot-out happened not in 1881, but in 1918 as the United
States plunged into World War I, and not in Tombstone, but in a remote canyon
in the Galiuro Mountains northeast of Tucson. Whereas previous accounts have
portrayed the gun battle as a quintessential western feud, historian Heidi J. Osselaer
explodes that myth and demonstrates how the national debate over U.S. entry into
the First World War divided society at its farthest edges, creating the political and
MAY social climate that lead to this tragedy.

DeARMENT MAN-HUNTERS OF THE OLD WEST, VOLUME 2

Man-Hunters of the Old West, Volume 2
By Robert K. DeArment
Until the early twentieth century, life in the American West could be rough and
sometimes vicious. Those who brought thieves and murderers to justice at times had
to employ tactics as ruthless as their prey. In this follow-up to his first collection
of biographies of the West’s most recognized man-hunters, noted western historian
Robert K. DeArment recounts the remarkable careers of eight men—Pat Garrett,
John Hughes, Harry Love, Harry Morse, Frank Norfleet, Bass Reeves, Granville
Stuart, and Tom Tobin—who pursued notorious criminals.
Volume 2 of Man-Hunters of the Old West shows that limited resources and dire
conditions often made extralegal violence necessary for survival. Harry Love, the
famous killer of California bandito Joaquin Murrieta, and Tom Tobin, who ended
the murders of the Espinosa gang in Colorado, tracked their quarries to remote
hideouts, shot them, and cut off their heads to prove they had been eliminated.

Morse began life as easterners who made their way West. All the others were

connecting the activism of Oklahoma students and the experience of hippies to a
state and a national history from which they have been absent.
Janda shows that participants in both student activism and retreat from conformist
society sought connections to Oklahoma’s past while forging new paths for
themselves. She shows that Oklahoma students linked their activism with the

Born to Serve
A History of Texas Southern University
By Merline Pitre
Texas Southern University is often said to have been “conceived in sin.” Located in
Houston, the school was established in 1947 as an “emergency” state-supported
university for African Americans, to prevent the integration of the University
of Texas. Born to Serve is the first book to tell the full history of TSU, from its
founding, through the many varied and defining challenges it faced, to its emergence
as a first-rate university that counts Barbara Jordon, Mickey Leland, and Michael
Strahan among its graduates.
Merline Pitre frames TSU’s history within that of higher education for African
Americans in Texas, from Reconstruction to the lawsuit that gave the school its
start. The case, Sweatt v. Painter, involved student Heman Marion Sweatt, who was

By Erika Pérez
“A gem of historical scholarship!”—Vicki L. Ruiz, author of From Out of the
Shadows: Mexican Women in Twentieth-Century America
How do intimate relationships reveal, reflect, enable, or enact the social and
political dimensions of imperial projects? In particular, how did colonial relations
in late-eighteenth- and nineteenth-century southern California implicate sexuality,
marriage, and kinship ties? In Colonial Intimacies, Erika Pérez probes everyday
relationships, encounters, and interactions to show how intimate choices about
marriage, social networks, and godparentage were embedded in larger geopolitical
concerns. Her work reveals, through the lens of social and familial intimacy, subtle
tools of conquest and acts of resistance and accommodation among indigenous VOLUME 5 IN THE SERIES BEFORE GOLD:

Colonial Intimacies focuses on the offspring of interethnic couples and their

The Directory for Confessors, 1585

Implementing the Catholic Reformation in New Spain
Edited and translated by Stafford Poole
With contributions by John F. Schwaller
In the late sixteenth century, after the Council of Trent and the Catholic
Reformation, the confessional became a key means to improve morals and religious
life—and, for the Catholic clergy of New Spain, a new avenue through which they
might reach the consciences of Spaniards and improve their treatment of indigenous
peoples. To this end, the bishops of the province of Mexico drafted a directorio in
1585 to guide the priesthood in fulfilling its duty according to current ecclesiastical
ideals and social realities. That document, published here in English for the first
time, offers an unrivaled view of the religious, social, and economic history of
colonial Mexico.

after the European invasion. In addition to summarizing sixteenth-century Spanish
concerns in the provinces, the Directory offers insight into the Catholic Church’s
Of Related Interest moral judgments on many aspects of colonial life. Translated by distinguished
scholar Stafford Poole, the document embodies a remarkable knowledge of
scripture and law and reflects the concerns of the Spanish crown and what was
happening in New Spain. The Directory instructs its clergy audience in the proper
methods to combat superstition among the Spaniards, helps them navigate the
variety of business contracts used in Creole society at the time, and details the

Weaving Chiapas
Maya Women’s Lives in a Changing World
Edited by Yolanda Castro Apreza, Charlene
Woodcock, and K’inal Antsetik, A.C.
In the highlands of Chiapas, Mexico, a large indigenous population lives in rural
communities, many of which retain traditional forms of governance. In 1996, some
350 women of these communities formed a weavers’ cooperative, which they called
Jolom Mayaetik. Their goal was to join together to market textiles of high quality
in both new and ancient designs. Weaving Chiapas offers a rare view of the daily
lives, memories, and hopes of these rural Maya women as they strive to retain their
ancient customs while adapting to a rapidly changing world.
Originally published in Spanish in 2007, this book captures firsthand the voices
of these Maya artisans, whose experiences, including the challenges of living in a
highly patriarchal culture, often escape the attention of mainstream scholarship. FEBRUARY

Views of Rome
A Greek Reader
Edited by Adam Serfass
Who were the ancient Romans? Views of Rome addresses this question by offering
a collection of thirty-five annotated excerpts from Greek prose authors. As Adam
Serfass explains in his introduction, these authors’ characterizations of the Romans
run the gamut from fellow Hellenes, civilizers, and peacemakers to barbarians,
boors, and warmongers.
Although many of the authors featured in this volume—including Augustus, Cassius

Dio, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Eusebius, Josephus, Julian, Libanius, Plutarch,
Polybius, Strabo, and the writers of the New Testament—are important sources for
Roman civilization, their written works are rarely presented in accessible Greek-
