American Carnage Wounded Knee, 1890

By Jerome A. Greene Foreword by Thomas Powers As the year 1890 wound to a close, a band of more than three hundred Lakota Sioux Indians led by Chief Big Foot made their way toward South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Reservation to join other Lakotas seeking peace. Fearing that Big Foot’s band was headed instead to join “hostile” Lakotas, U.S. troops surrounded the group on Wounded Knee Creek. Tensions mounted, and on the morning of December 29, as the Lakotas prepared to give up their arms, disaster struck. Accounts vary on what triggered the violence as Indians and soldiers unleashed thunderous gunfire at each other, but the consequences were horrific: some 200 innocent Lakota men, women, and children were slaughtered. American Carnage—the first comprehensive account of Wounded Knee to appear in more than fifty years—explores the complex events preceding the tragedy, the killings, and their troubled legacy.

In this gripping tale, Jerome A. Greene—renowned specialist on the Indian wars—explores why the bloody engagement happened and demonstrates how it became a brutal massacre. Drawing on a wealth of sources, including previously unknown testimonies, Greene examines the events from both Native and nonNative perspectives, explaining the significance of treaties, white settlement, political disputes, and the Ghost Dance as influential factors in what eventually took place. He addresses controversial questions: Was the action premeditated?

Was the Seventh Cavalry motivated by revenge after its humiliating defeat at the Battle of the Little Bighorn? Should soldiers have received Medals of Honor? He also recounts the futile efforts of Lakota survivors and their descendants to gain recognition for their terrible losses.

Epic in scope and poignant in its recounting of human suffering, American Carnage presents the reality—and denial—of our nation’s last frontier massacre. It will leave an indelible mark on our understanding of American history.

Jerome A. Greene is retired as a Research Historian for the National Park Service.

He is author of numerous books, including Beyond Bear’s Paw: The Nez Perce Indians in Canada and Stricken Field: The Little Bighorn since 1876. Thomas Powers is a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist. His most recent book is The Killing of Crazy Horse.

By John Taliaferro $19.95 Paper 978-0-8061-3495-6 The Masterworks of Charles M. Russell A Retrospective of Paintings and Sculpture Edited by Joan Carpenter Troccoli $39.95 Paper 978-0-8061-4097-1 Credits: (opposite, above) courtesy Brian W. Dippie; (inset photos 1, 2, 3, and 5, left to right) Gilcrease Museum, The University of Tulsa, Tulsa, Oklahoma; (inset 4) Archives & Special Collections, Mansfield Library, The University of Montana (umt0011181).

Almost as familiar as the images of the American West he painted and sculpted is the figure of Charles M. Russell himself. Standing or mounted, in boots and wide-brimmed hat, sash knotted at his waist, gaze steady under a hank of unruly hair: he is the one and only “Cowboy Artist.” What is not so well known is the story that unfolds in the myriad photographs of Russell, pictures that document a remarkable life while also reflecting the evolution of photography and the depiction of the American West at the turn of the twentieth century. This biography makes use of hundreds of images of Russell, many never before published, to explore the role of photography in shaping the artist’s public image and the making and selling of his art. More than that, the book shows how the Cowboy Artist personified what he portrayed.

Born in 1864 to a well-to-do family in St. Louis, Russell was smitten early on by the burgeoning art of photography and the images of the West that were proliferating as rapidly as the frontier was disappearing. When he moved to Helena at sixteen, his passions came together, as professional and amateur

photographers made their way to the Montana Territory to document the cowboy life that Charlie was embracing and beginning to paint. Larry Len Peterson traces Russell’s image and his career from these first adventures to his apotheosis as an artist, and then to his California period and his final days as the grand statesman of the American West. Along the way we meet some of the most interesting photographers of the era, as Russell posed for Edward S. Curtis, Roland Reed, Clarence S. Bull, Hildore C. Eklund, and Dorothea Lange, among others. Because Nancy Russell used photographs to promote her artist husband’s career and artistic identity, we also see the medium’s early application as a marketing tool in the hands of a surprisingly savvy businesswoman.

Alongside Peterson’s engrossing tale of the life of this American icon, the hundreds of photographs of Russell, his friends, family members, business associates, colleagues, and celebrities of his time offer a unique view of the artist’s historic and cultural milieu—a view at once panoramic and intimate.

Larry Len Peterson, a native of Plentywood, Montana, is an enthusiastic art collector and an acknowledged expert on art and art history of the American West. His publications include Charles M. Russell: Legacy; Philip R. Goodwin: America’s Sporting and Wildlife Artist; and L. A. Huffman: Photographer of the American West. Peterson is the recipient of two Western Heritage Awards and the Scriver Bronze. Brian W. Dippie is retired as Professor of History at the University of Victoria, British Columbia. The leading authority on Russell, he is the author of numerous books and articles on the history and art of the American West, including The Vanishing American: White Attitudes and U.S. Indian Policy and Charles M. Russell: Word Painter.

The definitive biography of an empire builder and a history of his times

When Money Grew on Trees A.B. Hammond and the Age of the Timber Baron

By Greg Gordon Born in the timber colony of New Brunswick, Maine, in 1848, Andrew Benoni Hammond got off to an inauspicious start as a teenage lumberjack. By his death in 1934, Hammond had built an empire of wood that stretched from Puget Sound to Arizona—and in the process had reshaped the American West and the nation’s way of doing business. When Money Grew on Trees follows Hammond from the roughand-tumble world of mid-nineteenth-century New Brunswick to frontier Montana and the forests of Northern California—from lowly lumberjack to unrivaled timber baron.

Although he began his career as a pioneer entrepreneur, Hammond, unlike many of his associates, successfully negotiated the transition to corporate businessman.

Against the backdrop of western expansion and nation-building, his life dramatically demonstrates how individuals—more than the impersonal forces of political economy—shaped capitalism in this country, and in doing so, transformed the forests of the West from functioning natural ecosystems into industrial landscapes. In revealing Hammond’s instrumental role in converting the nation’s public domain into private wealth, historian Greg Gordon also shows how the struggle over natural resources gave rise to the two most pervasive forces in modern American life: the federal government and the modern corporation.

By Robert E. Bonner $32.95s Cloth 978-0-8061-3829-9

Combining environmental, labor, and business history with biography, When Money Grew on Trees challenges the conventional view that the development and exploitation of the western United States was dictated from the East Coast. The West, Gordon suggests, was perfectly capable of exploiting itself, and in his book we see how Hammond and other regional entrepreneurs dammed rivers, logged forests, and leveled mountains in just a few decades. Hammond and his like also built cities, towns, and a vast transportation network of steamships and railroads to export natural resources and import manufactured goods. In short, they established much of the modern American state and economy.

Following Oil Four Decades of Cycle-Testing Experiences and What They Foretell about U.S. Energy Independence

By Thomas A. Petrie In a forty-year career as an oil and gas investment analyst and as an investment banker and strategic adviser on petroleum-sector mergers, acquisitions, and financings, Thomas A. Petrie has witnessed dramatic changes in the business. In Following Oil, he shares useful lessons he has learned about domestic and global trends in population and economic growth, a maturing resource base, variable national energy policies, and dynamic changes in geopolitical forces—and how these variables affect energy markets. More important, he applies those lessons to charting a course of energy development for the nation as the twenty-first century unfolds.

By the 1970s, when Petrie began analyzing publicly traded securities in the energy sector, the petroleum investment market was depressed. The rise of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) pushed energy to the center of the national security calculus of the United States and its allies. Price volatility would continue to whipsaw global markets for decades, while for consumers, cheap gasoline prices soon became a fond memory. Eventually, as Petrie puts it, finding oil on Wall Street became cheaper than drilling for it.

Petrie uses this dramatic period in oil business history to relate what he has learned from “following oil” as a securities analyst and investment banker. But the title also refers to energy sources that could become available following eventual shrinkage of conventional-oil supplies. Addressing the current need for greener, more sustainable energy sources, Petrie points to recent large domestic gas discoveries and the use of new technologies such as horizontal drilling to unlock unconventional hydrocarbons. With these new sources, the United States can increase production and ensure itself enough oil and gas to sustain economic growth during the next several decades. Petrie urges the pursuit of cleaner fossil fuel development in order to buy the time to develop the technical advances needed to bridge the nation to a greener energy future, when wind, solar, and other technologies advance sufficiently to play a larger role.

Thomas A. Petrie, CFA, is Chairman of Petrie Partners, LLC, in Denver. He formerly served as a Vice Chairman of Bank of America/Merrill Lynch and was Vice Chairman of Merrill Lynch until its acquisition by Bank of America in 2009. Petrie co-founded Petrie Parkman & Co., a Denver- and Houston-based energy investment banking firm that merged with Merrill Lynch in 2006.

Analyzes the actions of the controversial Confederate general charged with the 1864 slaughter

The River Was Dyed with Blood Nathan Bedford Forrest and Fort Pillow

By Brian Steel Wills The battlefield reputation of Confederate general Nathan Bedford Forrest, long recognized as a formidable warrior, has been shaped by one infamous wartime incident. At Fort Pillow in 1864, the attack by Confederate forces under Forrest’s command left many of the Tennessee Unionists and black soldiers garrisoned there dead in a confrontation widely labeled as a “massacre.” In The River Was Dyed with Blood, best-selling Forrest biographer Brian Steel Wills argues that although atrocities did occur after the fall of the fort, Forrest did not order or intend a systematic execution of its defenders. Rather, the general’s great failing was losing control of his troops.

By Robert R. Mackey $21.95 Paper 978-0-8061-3736-0

A prewar slave trader and owner, Forrest was a controversial figure throughout his lifetime. Because the attack on Fort Pillow—which, as Forrest wrote, left the nearby waters “dyed with blood”—occurred in an election year, Republicans used him as a convenient Confederate scapegoat to marshal support for the war. After the war he also became closely associated with the spread of the Ku Klux Klan. Consequently, the man himself, and the truth about Fort Pillow, has remained buried beneath myths, legends, popular depictions, and disputes about the events themselves.

Wills sets what took place at Fort Pillow in the context of other wartime excesses from the American Revolution to World War II and Vietnam, as well as the cultural transformations brought on by the Civil War. Confederates viewed black Union soldiers as the embodiment of slave rebellion and reacted accordingly. Nevertheless, Wills concludes that the engagement was neither a massacre carried out deliberately

by Forrest, as charged by a congressional committee, nor solely a northern fabrication meant to discredit him and the Confederate States of America, as proSouthern apologists have suggested. The battle-scarred fighter with his homespun aphorisms was neither an infallible warrior nor a heartless butcher, but a product of his time and his heritage.

Brian Steel Wills is the author of numerous books on Civil War history, including The Confederacy’s Greatest Cavalryman: Nathan Bedford Forrest and George Henry Thomas: As True as Steel.

Tom Horn in Life and Legend

By Larry D. Ball Some of the legendary gunmen of the Old West were lawmen, but more, like Billy the Kid and Jesse James, were outlaws. Tom Horn (1860–1903) was both.

Lawman, soldier, hired gunman, detective, outlaw, and assassin, this darkly enigmatic figure has fascinated Americans ever since his death by hanging the day before his forty-third birthday. In this masterful historical biography, Larry Ball, a distinguished historian of western lawmen and outlaws, presents the definitive account of Horn’s career.

Horn became a civilian in the Apache wars when he was still in his early twenties.

He fought in the last major battle with the Apaches on U.S. soil and chased the Indians into Mexico with General George Crook. He bragged about murdering renegades, and the brutality of his approach to law and order foreshadows his controversial career as a Pinkerton detective and his trial for murder in Wyoming.

Having worked as a hired gun and a range detective in the years after the Johnson County War, he was eventually tried and hanged for killing a fourteen-year-old boy.

Horn’s guilt is still debated.

To an extent no previous scholar has managed to achieve, Ball distinguishes the truth about Horn from the numerous legends. Both the facts and their distortions are revealing, especially since so many of the untruths come from Horn’s own autobiography. As a teller of tall tales, Horn burnished his own reputation throughout his life. In spite of his services as a civilian scout and packer, his behavior frightened even his lawless companions. Although some writers have tried to elevate him to the top rung of frontier gun wielders, questions still shadow Horn’s reputation.

Ball’s study concludes with a survey of Horn as described by historians, novelists, and screenwriters since his own time. These portrayals, as mixed as the facts on which they are based, show a continuing fascination with the life and legend of Tom Horn.

Larry Ball is Professor Emeritus of History at Arkansas State University, Jonesboro, and the author of five books, including Desert Lawmen: The High Sheriffs of New Mexico and Arizona, 1846–1912 and Elfego Baca: In Life and Legend.

Scalping Columbus and Other Damn Indian Stories Truths, Half-Truths, and Outright Lies

By Adam Fortunate Eagle Adam Fortunate Eagle has been called many things: social activist, serious joke medicine, contrary warrior, national treasure, enemy of the state, living history.

Characterizing his style as “Fortunate Eagle meets Mark Twain, Indian style,” the author relates the traditions, joys, and frustrations of his own Native American experience in tones ranging from “gut-busting laughter to pissed-off anger.”

Leading the reader through time and space, Fortunate Eagle uses his own history—as a child in an Ojibwe community and later as a civil rights leader who, among other achievements, helped organize the takeovers of Alcatraz in 1964 and 1969—to recount the experience of modern Native peoples. The tradition of oral storytelling shines through his language and in his thoughtful and humorous juxtapositions. In the story for which the book is named, Fortunate Eagle journeys to Italy to “discover” the land and claim it in protest of Columbus Day. Wearing a traditional beaded buckskin outfit, complete with scalps hanging from his belt, he meets with the pope. Afterward, suffering from what he calls “the Pope’s Revenge,” he is forced to spend two days in or near a bathroom.

Beginning with a foreword “written” by Sitting Bull, and traveling from moose encounters in Minnesota to the Spanish Steps in Rome, this book reminds readers of the wisdom of elders, the cross-cultural confusion of Native-white encounters, and some of the most difficult issues faced by contemporary Native peoples.

Falling somewhere between fact and fiction, the tales in Scalping Columbus and Other Stories combine outrageous comedy with clever social commentary, managing both to entertain and to enlighten.

Pinkham, Evans Lewis and Clark Among the Nez Perce

Lewis and Clark Among the Nez Perce Strangers in the Land of the Nimiipuu

By Allen V. Pinkham and Steven Ross Evans Foreword by Frederick E. Hoxie This extraordinary new look at Lewis and Clark among the Nez Perce represents a breakthrough in Lewis and Clark studies. Lewis and Clark Among the Nez Perce is the first richly detailed exploration of the relationship between Mr. Jefferson’s Corps of Discovery and a single tribe.

James Ronda’s groundbreaking Lewis and Clark Among the Indians (1984) reversed the lens for the first time, to look broadly at the Lewis and Clark expedition through the Native American point of view.

Nearly three decades later, Nez Perce historians Allen V. Pinkham and Steven Ross Evans have examined the journals of Lewis and Clark with painstaking care to tease out new insights from what Lewis and Clark wrote about their Nez Perce hosts. Pinkham and Evans evaluate both what Lewis and Clark understood and what they misunderstood in the Nez Perce (Nimiipuu) lifeway and political structure. More particularly they have re-examined the journals for clues about how the Nez Perce reacted to the bearded strangers. They have also gathered together and put into print for the first time the stands of a surprisingly rich Nez Perce oral tradition.

Lewis and Clark Among the Nez Perce is a generous and careful re-evaluation of what we all thought we knew about Lewis and Clark west of the Bitterroot Mountains. It is also a template for a series of tribal histories of the Lewis and Clark expedition that will be inspired by this book. Incidents we thought we knew backward and forward suddenly take on a new light when the historical lens is reversed.

Allen V. Pinkham served in the United States Marine Corps and later earned a twoyear degree from Lower Columbia College in Longview, Washington. Following a long career in the private sector, he moved back to the Nez Perce Reservation and dedicated himself to serving the public as a story-telling educator-author. Steven Ross Evans earned his Ph.D. in history from Washington State University andtaught history for thirty-three years at Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston, Idaho, before retiring in 2001. For the past eleven years he has been working with Allen V. Pinkham researching and writing on the Nez Perce Indians and the Lewis and Clark expedition. Frederick E.

Decades An Expanded Context for Western American Art, 1900–1940 Contributions by Charles C. Eldredge, Betsy Fahlman, Randall R. Griffey, and Ron Tyler This ninth volume of Western Passages explores western American art within the context of the first four decades of the twentieth century. Decades divides the period from 1900 to 1940 into ten-year increments to investigate major artistic movements and important figures in western American art across mediums, styles, and subjects. In four wide-ranging essays, art historians examine western American art alongside concurrent events in American art and history. These essays reveal intriguing—and often surprising—intersections among American history, western American art, and the larger canon of American art.

By Denver Art Museum $10.95 Paper 978-0-8061-9970-2

By investigating vertically within single decades it is possible to compare what multiple artists were producing at a given time. This approach reveals, for example, the interesting fact that Thomas Moran and Charles M. Russell both died in 1926.

Though active at the same time, Moran and Russell created very different bodies of work. Decades illuminates these and other diverse artistic reactions to the seismic changes in American life and culture following the turn of the twentieth century.

Widely accepted at the time was the idea that the western frontier had closed. The notion that the West “as it was” had passed into history had a profound effect on artists. So too did large-scale industrialization, the rise of automobile tourism, economic depression, and international conflict. No longer was art of the American West centered on exploration or ethnology; rather, artists of the new century shifted their focus toward art movements, aesthetics, and art for art’s sake. Later, when the nation—and particularly the West—faced major financial and environmental distress, western American art again reflected the concerns of the region.

Outlaw Woman A Memoir of the War Years, 1960–1975 Revised Edition

By Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz Foreword by Jennifer Baumgardner In 1968, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz helped found the Women’s Liberation Movement, part of what has been called the second wave of feminism in the United States.

Along with a small group of dedicated women in Boston, she produced the first women’s liberation journal, No More Fun and Games.

Dunbar-Ortiz was also an antiwar and anti-racist activist and organizer throughout the 1960s and early 1970s and a fiery, tireless public speaker on issues of patriarchy, capitalism, imperialism, and racism. She worked in Cuba with the Venceremos Brigade and formed associations with other revolutionaries across the spectrum of radical politics, including the Civil Rights Movement, Students for a Democratic Society, the Revolutionary Union, the African National Congress, and the American Indian Movement. Unlike most of those involved in the New Left, Dunbar-Ortiz grew up poor, female, and part–Native American in rural Oklahoma, and she often found herself at odds not only with the ruling class but also with the Left and with the women’s movement.

An exquisite opening into an indigenous people’s world in southwestern China

Rhapsody in Black Poems

By Jidi Majia Translated by Denis Mair Foreword by Simon J. Ortiz An indigenous poet of the Nuosu (Yi) people of mountainous southwestern China, Jidi Majia is well known and celebrated among the Chinese. But his lyrical and worldly work, though widely published and honored, has not found its voice in English translation in the West—until now. The poems in Rhapsody in Black, presented in Chinese and deftly translated by the gifted and respected Denis Mair, at long last introduce the English-speaking world to this remarkable Chinese writer.

The poetry of Jidi Majia is deeply grounded in the myths and oral traditions of the Nuosu minority. It evokes times past but also speaks with eloquence of our global moment. Replete with cultural textures and local idiom, the poems provide an exquisite opening into the Nuosu world. In their ethnic richness, they also resonate with the voices of the indigenous and the dispossessed, from Native American and South American Indian poets to the African American and aboriginal Australian writers preserving and reshaping cultural identity.

Jidi Majia’s voice sounds the depths of natural, cultural, and spiritual reality. In his poem “Voice of the Bimo,” the power of a Nuosu ritualist’s expression is reflected in his own: In tones both human and divine, it utters

A Polish Doctor in the Nazi Camps My Mother’s Memories of Imprisonment, Immigration, and a Life Remade

By Barbara Rylko-Bauer Jadwiga Lenartowicz Rylko, known as Jadzia (Yah’-jah), was a young Polish Catholic physician in Lódz at the start of World War II. Suspected of resistance activities, she was arrested in January 1944. For the next fifteen months, she endured three Nazi concentration camps and a forty-two-day death march, spending part of this time working as a prisoner-doctor to Jewish slave laborers. A Polish Doctor in the Nazi Camps follows Jadzia from her childhood and medical training, through her wartime experiences, to her struggles to create a new life in the postwar world.

Jadzia’s daughter, anthropologist Barbara Rylko-Bauer, constructs an intimate ethnography that weaves a personal family narrative against a twentieth-century historical backdrop. As Rylko-Bauer travels back in time with her mother, we learn of the particular hardships that female concentration camp prisoners faced. The struggle continued after the war as Jadzia attempted to rebuild her life, first as a refugee doctor in Germany and later as an immigrant to the United States. Like many postwar immigrants, Jadzia had high hopes of making new connections and continuing her career. Unable to surmount personal, economic, and social obstacles to medical licensure, however, she had to settle for work as a nurse’s aide.

As a contribution to accounts of wartime experiences, Jadzia’s story stands out for its sensitivity to the complexities of the Polish memory of war. Built upon both historical research and conversations between mother and daughter, the story combines Jadzia’s voice and Rylko-Bauer’s own journey of rediscovering her family’s past. The result is a powerful narrative about struggle, survival, displacement, and memory, augmenting our understanding of a horrific period in human history and the struggle of Polish immigrants in its aftermath.

Barbara Rylko-Bauer holds a Ph.D. in Anthropology and is currently Adjunct Associate Professor of Anthropology at Michigan State University. She has published several books, and her articles have appeared in American Ethnologist, American Anthropologist, and Medical Anthropology Quarterly.

Humphrey Once Upon a Time in War

Anaya Randy Lopez Goes Home

Harrowing combat experiences revealed— many for the first time

“An absorbing social history of the common soldiers of the Checkerboard Division. Genuine and credible—a captivating story told mainly in the words of the GIs themselves.”—Peter R. Mansoor, author of The GI Offensive in Europe: The Triumph of American Infantry Divisions, 1941–1945 “A rich portrait of the American citizen soldier in war—well trained, sardonic in his outlook, determined to do his job, motivated to fight not for any abstract ideas about patriotism or hatred of Nazism, but for his comrades.”—Journal of Military History The 99th Infantry Division repelled the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge and engaged in some of the most dramatic, hardfought actions of World War II. Once Upon a Time in War presents a stirring view of combat from the perspective of the common soldier.

Robert E. Humphrey personally retraced the path of the 99th through Belgium and Germany and conducted extensive interviews with more than three hundred surviving veterans.

These personal narratives, seamlessly woven to create a collective biography, offer a gritty reenactment of World War II from the enlisted man’s point of view, revealing the physical and psychological hardships soldiers endured and how they coped with them.

Robert E. Humphrey is Professor of Communication Studies at California State University, Sacramento. He has published numerous articles in The Checkerboard, the newspaper for the 99th Infantry Division, and is author of Children of Fantasy: The First Rebels of Greenwich Village, 1910–1920.

A novel by the master storyteller that explores what it means to go home

“Anaya’s characters’ longing shimmers off elegiac, deceptively simple prose, captivating in its aspiration and achievement.”

—Publishers Weekly When he was a young man, Randy Lopez left his village in northern New Mexico to seek his fortune. Since then, he has learned some of the secrets of success in the Anglo world— and even written a book called Life Among the Gringos. But something has been missing. Now he returns to Agua Bendita to reconnect with his past and to find the wisdom the Anglo world has not provided. In this allegorical account of Randy’s final journey, master storyteller Rudolfo Anaya tackles life’s big questions with a light touch.

Randy’s return to his ancestral home begins on the Day of the Dead. Reuniting with his padrinos—his godparents—and hoping to meet up with his lost love, Sofia, Randy encounters a series of spirits: coyotes, cowboys, Death, and the devil. Each one engages him in a conversation about life, but only Miss Libriana, Randy’s old teacher, can help him complete his journey.

Richly allusive and uniquely witty, Randy Lopez Goes Home presents man’s quest for meaning in a touching, thoughtprovoking narrative that will resound with young adults and mature readers alike.

Rudolfo Anaya is Professor Emeritus of English at the University of New Mexico. He has received numerous literary awards, including the Premio Quinto Sol and a National Medal of Arts.

Anaya resides in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The Girls from Fort Shaw Indian School, Basketball Champions of the World

By Linda Peavy and Ursula Smith

Explores Cooke’s remarkable attempt to finance construction of the Northern Pacific Railroad

Staking his reputation and wealth on the Northern Pacific, Cooke was soon whipsawed by the railroad’s mismanagement and construction problems. When railroad surveyors and army escorts ignored Sioux chief Sitting Bull’s warning not to enter the Yellowstone Valley, Indian attacks led to setbacks on the field, in the press, and among investors.

M. John Lubetkin’s suspenseful narrative describes events from Wall Street to the Yellowstone, vividly portraying the soldiers, engineers, businessmen, politicians, and Native Americans who tried to build or block the Northern Pacific.

“A monumental achievement that deserves a wide readership among women, sport, and Indian historians.”—David W. Adams, Western Historical Quarterly Most fans of women’s basketball would be startled to learn that girls’ teams were making their mark more than a century ago—and that none was more prominent than a team from an isolated Indian boarding school in Montana. The girls from Fort Shaw stormed the state to emerge as Montana’s first basketball champions. Taking their game to the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, these young women introduced an international audience to the fledgling game and returned home with a trophy declaring them World champions.

Yet their triumphs were forgotten—until Linda Peavy and Ursula Smith chanced upon a team photo and embarked on a tenyear journey of discovery. Collaborating with the teammates’ descendents and tribal kin, they produced a narrative as entertaining as it is authentic. Full-Court Quest offers a rare glimpse into American Indian life and the world of women’s basketball before “girls’ rules” temporarily shackled the sport.

Civil War Arkansas, 1863

Zhukov

The Battle for a State

By Mark K. Christ

By Otto Preston Chaney Foreword by Malcolm Mackintosh

Christ Civil War Arkansas, 1863

Chaney Zhukov

An overlooked turning point in the trans-Mississippi theater

A classic biography of the only four-time Hero of the Soviet Union for military accomplishments

“A must-read for anyone interested in the Civil War.”—Journal of America’s Military Past

“A thorough examination of a great soldier that belongs in every military library.”—World War II

The Arkansas River Valley is one of the most fertile regions in the South, and during the Civil War the river served as a vital artery for moving troops and supplies. In 1863 the battle to wrest control of the valley was, in effect, a battle for the state itself. Though vitally important, this campaign is often overshadowed by the siege of Vicksburg. Now Mark K. Christ offers the first detailed account of the struggle in Arkansas, revealing the consequences for both Union and Confederate powers.

Marshal Georgi Konstantinovich Zhukov, hero of Leningrad, defender of Moscow and Stalingrad, commander of the victorious Red Army at Berlin, was the most decorated soldier in Soviet history. Yet for many years Zhukov was relegated to the status of “unperson” in his homeland. Now, following glasnost and the fall of the Soviet Union, Zhukov is being restored to his rightful place in history. In this completely updated version of his classic 1971 biography of Zhukov, Otto Preston Chaney provides the definitive account of the man and his achievements.

Christ incorporates eyewitness accounts to tell how new Union strategy in the trans-Mississippi theater enabled the capture of Little Rock, taking the state out of Confederate control for the rest of the war. Drawing on soldiers’ letters and diaries, he describes key engagements at the tactical level—particularly the battles at Arkansas Post, Helena, and Pine Bluff, which cumulatively marked a major turning point.

Chaney gives vivid descriptions of Zhukov’s major battles, illustrating them with authenticated Russian battle maps and dramatic photographs. Zhukov’s career spanned most of the Soviet period, reflecting the turmoil of the civil war, the hardships endured by the Russian people in World War II, the brief postwar optimism evidenced by the friendship between Zhukov and Eisenhower, repression in Poland and Hungary, and the rise and fall of such political figures as Stalin, Beria, and Krushchev. The story of Russia’s greatest soldier offers many insights into the history of the Soviet Union itself.

Christ also weaves civilian voices into the story to flesh out the human dimensions of the conflict. Extensively researched and compellingly told, Civil War Arkansas, 1863 fills a void in Civil War studies.

Ethnic Cleansing and the Indian The Crime That Should Haunt America

By Gary Clayton Anderson Mention “ethnic cleansing” and most Americans are likely to think of “sectarian” or “tribal” conflict in some far-off locale plagued by unstable or corrupt government.

According to historian Gary Clayton Anderson, however, the United States has its own legacy of ethnic cleansing, and it involves American Indians.

In Ethnic Cleansing and the Indian, Anderson uses ethnic cleansing as an analytical tool to challenge the alluring idea that Anglo-American colonialism in the New World constituted genocide. Beginning with the era of European conquest, Anderson employs definitions of ethnic cleansing developed by the United Nations and the International Criminal Court to reassess key moments in the AngloAmerican dispossession of American Indians.

Euro-Americans’ extensive use of violence against Native peoples is well documented.

Yet Anderson argues that the inevitable goal of colonialism and U.S. Indian policy was not to exterminate a population, but to obtain land and resources from the Native peoples recognized as having legitimate possession. The clashes between Indians, settlers, and colonial and U.S. governments, and subsequent dispossession and forcible migration of Natives, fit the modern definition of ethnic cleansing.

To support the case for ethnic cleansing over genocide, Anderson begins with English conquerors’ desire to push Native peoples to the margin of settlement, a violent project restrained by the Enlightenment belief that all humans possess a “natural right” to life. Ethnic cleansing comes into greater analytical focus as Anderson engages every major period of British and U.S. Indian policy, especially armed conflict on the American frontier where government soldiers and citizen militias alike committed acts that would be considered war crimes today.

Drawing on a lifetime of research and thought about U.S.-Indian relations, Anderson analyzes the Jacksonian “Removal” policy, the gold rush in California, the dispossession of Oregon Natives, boarding schools and other “benevolent” forms of ethnic cleansing, and land allotment. Although not amounting to genocide, ethnic cleansing nevertheless encompassed a host of actions that would be deemed criminal today, all of which had long-lasting consequences for Native peoples.

Gary Clayton Anderson, Professor of History at the University of Oklahoma, is author of The Conquest of Texas: Ethnic Cleansing in the Promised Land, 1820– 1875. His book The Indian Southwest, 1580–1830: Ethnogenesis and Reinvention won the Angie Debo Prize and the publication award from the San Antonio Conservation Society.

How African Americans built communities and fought racial discrimination in the San Francisco Bay Area after World War II

Uninvited Neighbors African Americans in Silicon Valley, 1769–1990

By Herbert G. Ruffin II In the late 1960s, African American protests and Black Power demonstrations in California’s Santa Clara County—including what’s now called Silicon Valley—took many observers by surprise. After all, as far back as the 1890s, the California constitution had legally abolished most forms of racial discrimination, and subsequent legal reform had surely taken care of the rest. White Americans might even have wondered where the black activists in the late sixties were coming from— because, beginning with the writings of Fredrick Jackson Turner, the most influential histories of the American West simply left out African Americans or, later, portrayed them as a passive and insignificant presence.

Black Texans A History of African Americans in Texas, 1528–1995

Uninvited Neighbors puts black people back into the picture and dispels cherished myths about California’s racial history. Reaching from the Spanish era to the valley’s emergence as a center of the high-tech industry, this is the first comprehensive history of the African American experience in the Santa Clara Valley.

Author Herbert G. Ruffin II’s study presents the black experience in a new way, with a focus on how, despite their smaller numbers and obscure presence, African Americans in the South Bay forged communities that had a regional and national impact disproportionate to their population. As the region industrialized and spawned suburbs during and after World War II, its black citizens built institutions such as churches, social clubs, and civil rights organizations and challenged socioeconomic restrictions. Ruffin explores the quest of the area’s black people for the postwar American Dream. The book also addresses the scattering of the black community during the region’s late yet rapid urban growth after 1950, which led to the creation of several distinct black suburban communities clustered in metropolitan San Jose.

Ruffin treats people of color as agents of their own development and survival in a region that was always multiracial and where slavery and Jim Crow did not predominate, but where the white embrace of racial justice and equality was often insincere. The result offers a new view of the intersection of African American history and the history of the American West.

South Pass Gateway to a Continent

By Will Bagley Wallace Stegner called South Pass “one of the most deceptive and impressive places in the West.” Nowhere can travelers cross the Rockies so easily as through this high, treeless valley in Wyoming immediately south of the Wind River Mountains.

South Pass has received much attention in lore and memory but attracted no serious book-length study—until now. In this narrative, award-winning author Will Bagley explains the significance of South Pass to the nation’s history and to the development of the American West.

Fur traders first saw South Pass in 1812. From the early 1840s until the completion of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific Railroads almost forty years later, emigrants on the Oregon, California, and Mormon Trails used South Pass in transforming the American West in a single generation. Bagley traces the peopling of the region by the earliest inhabitants and adventurers, including Indian peoples, trappers and fur traders, missionaries, and government-commissioned explorers.

Later, California gold rushers, Latter-day Saints, and families seeking new lives went through this singular gap in the Rockies. Without South Pass, overland wagons beginning their journey far to the east along the Missouri River could not have reached their destinations in a single season, and western settlement might have been delayed for decades.

The story of South Pass offers a rich history. The Overland Stage, Pony Express, and first transcontinental telegraph all came through the region. Nearly a century later, President Dwight D. Eisenhower designated South Pass as one of America’s first National Historic Landmarks. An American place so rich in historical significance, Bagley argues, deserves the best of historical preservation efforts.

Will Bagley is the author of more than a dozen books on the American West, including So Rugged and Mountainous: Blazing the Trails to Oregon and California, 1812–1848 and With Golden Visions Bright Before Them: Trails to the Mining West, 1849–1852, the first two volumes in his series Overland West: The Story of the Oregon and California Trails.

West Texas A History of the Giant Side of the State Edited by Paul H. Carlson and Bruce A. Glasrud Texas is as well known for its diversity of landscape and culture as it is for its enormity. But West Texas, despite being popularized in film and song, has largely been ignored by historians as a distinct and cultural geographic space.

In West Texas: A History of the Giant Side of the State, Paul H. Carlson and Bruce A. Glasrud rectify that oversight. This volume assembles a diverse set of essays covering the grand sweep of West Texas history from the ancient to the contemporary.

In four parts—comprehending the place, people, politics and economic life, and society and culture—Carlson and Glasrud and their contributors survey the confluence of life and landscape shaping the West Texas of today. Early chapters define the region. The “giant side of Texas” is a nineteenth-century geographical description of a vast area that includes the Panhandle, Llano Estacado, Permian Basin, and Big Bend–Trans-Pecos country. It is an arid, windblown environment that connects intimately with the history of Texas culture.

Carlson and Glasrud take a nonlinear approach to exploring the many cultural influences on West Texas, including the Tejanos, the oil and gas economy, and the major cities. Readers can sample topics in whichever order they please, whether they are interested in learning about ranching, recreation, or turn-of-the-century education. Throughout, familiar western themes arise: the urban growth of El Paso is contrasted with the mid-century decline of small towns and the social shifting that followed. Well-known Texas scholars explore popular perceptions of West Texas as sparsely populated and rife with social contradiction and rugged individualism.

West Texas comes into yet clearer view through essays on West Texas women, poets, Native peoples, and musicians. Gathered here is a long overdue consideration of the landscape, culture, and everyday lives of one of America’s most iconic and understudied regions.

Paul H. Carlson is Professor Emeritus of History at Texas Tech University and author of The Cowboy Way: An Exploration of History and Culture. Bruce A. Glasrud is Professor Emeritus of History at California State University, East Bay, and editor of African American History in New Mexico: Portraits from Five Hundred Years.

Creating the American West Boundaries and Borderlands

By Derek R. Everett Boundaries—lines imposed on the landscape—shape our lives, dictating everything from which candidates we vote for to what schools our children attend to the communities with which we identify. In Creating the American West, historian Derek R. Everett examines the function of these internal lines in American history generally and in the West in particular. Drawing lines to create states in the transMississippi West, he points out, imposed a specific form of political organization that made the West truly American.

Everett examines how settlers lobbied for boundaries and how politicians imposed them. He examines the origins of boundary-making in the United States from the colonial era through the Louisiana Purchase. Case studies then explore the ethnic, sectional, political, and economic angles of boundaries. Everett first examines the boundaries between Arkansas and its neighboring Native cultures, and the pseudo war between Missouri and Iowa. He then traces the lines splitting the Oregon Country and the states of California and Nevada, and considers the ethnic and political consequences of the boundary between New Mexico and Colorado.

He explains the evolution of the line splitting the Dakotas, and concludes with a discussion of ways in which state boundaries can contribute toward new interpretations of borderlands history.

A major theme in the history of state boundaries is the question of whether to use geometric or geographic lines—in other words, lines corresponding to parallels and meridians or those fashioned by natural features. With the distribution of western land, Everett shows, geography gave way to geometry and transformed the West.

The end of boundary-making in the late nineteenth century is not the end of the story, however. These lines continue to complicate a host of issues including water rights, taxes, political representation, and immigration. Creating the American West shows how the past continues to shape the present.

All Canada in the Hands of the British General Jeffery Amherst and the 1760 Campaign to Conquer New France

By Douglas R. Cubbison In 1760, General Jeffery Amherst led the British campaign that captured Montreal and began the end of French colonial rule in North America. All Canada in the Hands of the British is a detailed account of Amherst’s successful military strategy and soldiers’ experiences on both sides.

Newly promoted general Jeffery Amherst took command of British forces in North America in 1759 and soon secured victories at Fort Duquesne, Louisbourg, Quebec, Fort Ticonderoga, and Niagara. In 1760 William Pitt, head of the British government, commanded Amherst to eliminate French rule in Canada. During the ensuing campaign, Amherst confronted French resurgence at Quebec and mounted sieges at Isle aux Noix and Fort Lévis, both of which were made difficult by French strategic placements on nearby islands. As historian Douglas R. Cubbison demonstrates, however, Amherst was well before his time in strategy and tactics, and his forces crushed French resistance.

In this first book-length study of Amherst’s campaign, Cubbison examines the three principal columns that Amherst’s army comprised, only one of which was under his direct command. Cubbison argues that Amherst’s success against the French relied on his employment of command, control, communications, and intelligence.

Cubbison also shows how well Brigadier General James Murray’s use of what is today called population-centric counterinsurgency corresponded with Amherst’s strategic oversight and victory.

With Zeal and With Bayonets Only The British Army on Campaign in North America, 1775–1783

By Matthew H. Spring $19.95s Paper 978-0-8061-4152-7

Using archival materials, archaeological evidence, and the firsthand accounts of junior provincial soldiers, Cubbison takes us from the eighteenth-century antagonisms between the British and French in the New World through the Seven Years’ War, to the final siege and its historic significance for colonial Canada. In one of the most decisive victories of the Seven Years’ War, Amherst was able, after a mere four weeks, to claim all of Canada. All Canada in the Hands of the British will change how military historians and enthusiasts understand the nature of British colonial battle strategy.

Blücher Scourge of Napoleon

By Michael V. Leggiere One of the most colorful characters in the Napoleonic pantheon, Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher (1742–1819) is best known as the Prussian general who, along with the Duke of Wellington, defeated Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo.

Throughout his long career, Blücher distinguished himself as a bold commander, but his actions at times appeared erratic and reckless. This magnificent biography

by Michael V. Leggiere, an award-winning historian of the Napoleonic Wars, is the first scholarly book in English to explore Blücher’s life and military career—and his impact on Napoleon.

Drawing on exhaustive research in European archives, Leggiere eschews the melodrama of earlier biographies and offers instead a richly nuanced portrait of a talented leader who, contrary to popular perception, had a strong grasp of military strategy. Nicknamed “Marshal Forward” by his soldiers, he in fact retreated more often than he attacked. Focusing on the campaigns of 1813, 1814, and 1815, Leggiere evaluates the full effects of Blücher’s operations on his archenemy.

In addition to providing military analysis, Leggiere draws extensively from Blücher’s own writings to reveal the man behind the legend. Though tough as nails on the outside, Blücher was a loving family man who deplored the casualties of war. This meticulously written biography, enhanced by detailed maps and other illustrations, fills a large gap in our understanding of a complex man who, for all his flaws and eccentricities, is justly credited with releasing Europe from the yoke of Napoleon’s tyranny.

Michael V. Leggiere is Associate Professor of History at the University of North Texas, Denton. Twice the recipient of the International Napoleonic Society Literary Award, he is the author of Napoleon and Berlin: The Franco-Prussian War in North Germany, 1813 and The Fall of Napoleon: The Allied Invasion of France, 1813–1814.

Napoleon in Italy The Sieges of Mantua, 1796–1799

By Phillip R. Cuccia In the center of Mantua, in northern Italy, a covered bridge stretches over the narrow Rio where vendors sell fish from pushcarts just as locals did more than two hundred years ago when Napoleon Bonaparte laid siege to the city. Four cannon balls protruding out of an adjacent wall offer a tacit monument to the sufferings of townspeople during the 1796–1797 siege, when the city, held by Austrian troops, finally fell under French control. Two years later, Mantua was again barraged, this time by a combined Austrian and Russian army, which took it back after four months. In Napoleon in Italy, Phillip R. Cuccia brings to light two understudied aspects of these trying periods in Mantua’s history: siege warfare and the conditions it created inside the city.

By Christopher D. Dishman $26.00s Cloth 978-0-8061-4140-4

Drawing on underutilized military records in Austrian, French, and Italian archives, Cuccia delves into these important conflicts to integrate political and social issues with a campaign study. Unlike other military histories of the era, Napoleon in Italy brings to light the words of soldiers, leaders, and citizens who experienced the sieges firsthand. Cuccia also shows how the sieges had consequences long after they were over. The surrender and proposed court-martial of François-Philippe de Foissac-Latour, the French general in charge of Mantua in 1799, sheds new light on Napoleon’s disdain for defeat. Foissac-Latour faced Napoleon’s ire, expulsion from the army, and harsh public criticism.

Napoleon in Italy is not only the story of Mantua’s strategic importance. Mantua also symbolized Napoleon’s voracious determination to win and Austria’s desperation to retain its possessions. By placing the sieges of Mantua in an eighteenth-century international context, Cuccia introduces readers to a broader understanding of siege warfare and of how the global impacts the local.

Phillip R. Cuccia is a colonel in the U.S. Army serving as a foreign area officer for Europe. He taught history at West Point and is the author of numerous articles on the Napoleonic era and the American Civil War.

Climax at Gallipoli The Failure of the August Offensive

By Rhys Crawley Gallipoli: the mere name summons the story of this well-known campaign of the First World War. And the story of Gallipoli, where in August 1915 the Allied forces made their last valiant effort against the Turks, is one of infamous might-havebeens. If only the Allies had held out a little longer, pushed a little harder, had better luck—Gallipoli might have been the decisive triumph that knocked the Ottoman Empire out of the First World War. But the story is just that, author Rhys Crawley tells us: a story. Not only was the outcome at Gallipoli not close, but the operation was flawed from the start, and an inevitable failure.

A painstaking effort to set the historical record straight, Climax at Gallipoli examines the performance of the Allies’ Mediterranean Expeditionary Force from the beginning of the Gallipoli Campaign to the bitter end. Crawley reminds us that in 1915, the second year of the war, the Allies were still trying to adapt to a new form of warfare, with static defense replacing the maneuver and offensive strategies of earlier British doctrine. In the attempt both the MEF at Gallipoli and the British Expeditionary Force on the Western Front aimed for too much—and both failed.

To explain why, Crawley focuses on the operational level of war in the campaign, scrutinizing planning, command, mobility, fire support, interservice cooperation, and logistics. His work draws on unprecedented research into the files of military organizations across the United Kingdom and Australia.

The result is a view of the Gallipoli Campaign unique in its detail and scope, as well as in its conclusions—a book that looks past myth and distortion to the facts, and the truth, of what happened at this critical juncture in twentieth-century history.

By William R. Nester The French and Indian War was the world’s first truly global conflict. When the French lost to the British in 1763, they lost their North American empire along with most of their colonies in the Caribbean, India, and West Africa. In The French and Indian War and the Conquest of New France, the only comprehensive account from the French perspective, William R. Nester explains how and why the French were defeated. He explores the fascinating personalities and epic events that shaped French diplomacy, strategy, and tactics and determined North America’s destiny.

By William R. Nester $39.95s Cloth 978-0-8061-4294-4

What began in 1754 with a French victory—the defeat at Fort Necessity of a young Lieutenant Colonel George Washington—quickly became a disaster for France. The cost in soldiers, ships, munitions, provisions, and treasure was staggering. France was deeply in debt when the war began, and that debt grew with each year. Further, the country’s inept system of government made defeat all but inevitable. Nester describes missed diplomatic and military opportunities as well as military defeats late in the conflict.

Nester masterfully weaves his narrative of this complicated war with thorough accounts of the military, economic, technological, social, and cultural forces that affected its outcome. Readers learn not only how and why the French lost, but how the problems leading up to that loss in 1763 foreshadowed the French Revolution almost twenty-five years later.

One of the problems at Versailles was the king’s mistress, the powerful Madame de Pompadour, who encouraged Louis XV to become his own prime minister. The bewildering labyrinth of French bureaucracy combined with court intrigue and financial challenges only made it even more difficult for the French to succeed.

Ultimately, Nester shows, France lost the war because Versailles failed to provide enough troops and supplies to fend off the English enemy.

William R. Nester is author of numerous books on military history, including The Epic Battles for Ticonderoga, 1758 and The Revolutionary Years, 1775–1789: The Art of American Power during the Early Republic.

Invasion of Laos, 1971 Lam Son 719

By Robert D. Sander In 1971, while U.S. ground forces were prohibited from crossing the Laotian border, a South Vietnamese Army corps, with U.S. air support, launched the largest airmobile operation in the history of warfare, Lam Son 719. The objective: to sever the North Vietnamese Army’s main logistical artery, the Ho Chi Minh Trail, at its hub, Tchepone in Laos, an operation that, according to General Creighton Abrams, could have been the decisive battle of the war, hastening the withdrawal of U.S. forces and ensuring the survival of South Vietnam. The outcome: defeat of the South Vietnamese Army and heavy losses of U.S. helicopters and aircrews, but a successful preemptive strike that met President Nixon’s near-term political objectives.

Author Robert Sander, a helicopter pilot in Lam Son 719, explores why an operation of such importance failed. Drawing on archives and interviews, and firsthand testimony and reports, Sander chronicles not only the planning and execution of the operation but also the maneuvers of the bastions of political and military power during the ten-year effort to end Communist infiltration of South Vietnam, leading up to Lam Son 719. The result is a picture from disparate perspectives: the Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon administrations; the South Vietnamese government led by President Nguyen Van Thieu; and senior U.S. military commanders and army aviators.

Sander’s conclusion is at once powerful and persuasively clear. Lam Son 719 was doomed in both the planning and execution—a casualty of domestic and international politics, flawed assumptions, incompetent execution, and the resolve of the North Vietnamese Army. A powerful work of military and political history, this book offers eloquent testimony that “failure, like success, cannot be measured in absolute terms.”

Robert D. Sander served twenty-five years in the U.S. Army and retired as a colonel in 1993.

Chandler, Tyler, Moore San Francisco Lithographer

Grafton Tyler Brown —whose heritage was likely one-eighth African American—finessed his way through San Francisco society by passing for white. Working in an environment hostile to African American achievement, Brown became a successful commercial artist and businessman in the rough-and-tumble gold rush era and the years after the Civil War. Best known for his bird’s-eye cityscapes, he also produced and published maps, charts, and business documents, and he illustrated books, sheet music, advertisements, and labels for cans and other packaging.

This biography by a distinguished California historian gives an underappreciated artist and his work recognition long overdue.

Focusing on Grafton Tyler Brown’s lithography and his life in nineteenth-century San Francisco, Robert J. Chandler offers a study equally fascinating as a business and cultural history and as an introduction to Brown the artist.

Chandler’s contextualization of Brown’s career goes beyond the issue of race. Showing how Brown survived and flourished as a businessman, Chandler offers unique insight into the growth of printing and publishing in California and the West.

He examines the rise of lithography, its commercial and cultural importance, and the competition among lithographic companies. He also analyzes Brown’s work and style, comparing it to the products of rival firms.

Brown was not respected as a fine artist until after his death.

Collectors of western art and Americana now recognize the importance of Californiana and of Brown’s work, some of which depicts Portland and the Pacific Northwest, and they will find Chandler’s checklist, descriptions, and reproductions of Brown’s ephemera—including billheads and maps—as uniquely valuable as Chandler’s contribution to the cultural and commercial history of California. In an afterword, historian Shirley Ann Wilson Moore discusses the circumstances and significance of passing in nineteenth-century America.

Robert J. Chandler, retired as a historian for Wells Fargo Bank, is the author of numerous articles and books on California history, including California: An Illustrated History and California and the Civil War, 1861–1865. Ron Tyler is the retired director of the Amon Carter Museum of American Art. He is former professor of history at the University of Texas at Austin and former director of the Texas State Historical Association.

How mythical Aztec origin stories guided the Spanish in the conquest of Nuevo México

Return to Aztlan Indians, Spaniards, and the Invention of Nuevo México

By Danna A. Levin Rojo Long before the Spanish colonizers established it in 1598, the “Kingdom of Nuevo México” had existed as an imaginary world—and not the one based on European medieval legend so often said to have driven the Spaniards’ ambitions in the New World. What the conquistadors sought in the 1500s, it seems, was what the native Mesoamerican Indians who took part in north-going conquest expeditions also sought: a return to the Aztecs’ mythic land of origin, Aztlan. Employing longoverlooked historical and anthropological evidence, Danna A. Levin Rojo reveals how ideas these natives held about their own past helped determine where Spanish explorers would go and what they would conquer in the northwest frontier of New Spain—present-day New Mexico and Arizona. Return to Aztlan thus remaps an extraordinary century during which, for the first time, Western minds were seduced

by Native American historical memories.

Levin Rojo recounts a transformation—of an abstract geographic space, the imaginary world of Aztlan, into a concrete sociopolitical place. Drawing on a wide variety of early maps, colonial chronicles, soldier reports, letters, and native codices, she charts the gradual redefinition of native and Spanish cultural identity—and shows that the Spanish saw in Nahua, or Aztec, civilization an equivalence to their own. A deviation in European colonial naming practices provides the first clue that a transformation of Aztlan from imaginary to concrete world was taking place: Nuevo México is the only place-name from the early colonial period in which Europeans combined the adjective “new” with an American Indian name. With this toponym, Spaniards referenced both Mexico-Tenochtitlan, the indigenous metropolis whose destruction made possible the birth of New Spain itself, and Aztlan, the ancient Mexicans’ place of origin.

Levin Rojo collects additional clues as she systematically documents why and how Spaniards would take up native origin stories and make a return to Aztlan their own goal—and in doing so, overturns the traditional understanding of Nuevo México as a concept and as a territory.

Battles and Massacres on the Southwestern Frontier Historical and Archaeological Perspectives Edited by Ronald K. Wetherington and Frances Levine Battles and massacres are intimate affairs for combatants and others involved, their physical and emotional violence often stemming from fervor and fear. Although mass killing characterizes both battles and massacres, the two are profoundly different. Battles take place between armed forces; massacres are one-sided events in which the dead are mostly innocent victims. Yet the fog of war shrouds both massacres and battles in a functional amnesia. Participants remember what exactly happened during such a violent encounter only imperfectly, and later clarity cannot always rectify accounts thus rendered. Even naming the events as battles or massacres already imposes an interpretive framework upon them.

This unique study centers on four critical engagements between Anglo-Americans and American Indians on the southwestern frontier: the Battle of Cieneguilla (1854), the Battle of Adobe Walls (1864), the Sand Creek Massacre (1864), and the Mountain Meadows Massacre (1857). Editors Ronald K. Wetherington and Frances Levine juxtapose historical and archaeological perspectives on each event to untangle the ambiguity and controversy that surround both historical and more contemporary accounts of each of these violent outbreaks. Both disciplines, the contributors make clear, yield surprisingly similar narratives and interpretive agreement; and the lessons learned from these nineteenth-century killing fields about wartime reporting and command failures remain relevant today.

The Apache leader’s story through historical records that include his own words

Cochise Firsthand Accounts of the Chiricahua Apache Chief Edited by Edwin R. Sweeney A Chiricahua Apache of the Chokonen band, Cochise (c. 1810–1874) was one of the most celebrated Indian leaders of his time, battling both American intrusions and Mexican troops in the turbulent border region of nineteenth-century Arizona.

Much of what we know of Cochise has come down to us in military reports, eyewitness accounts, letters, and numerous interviews the usually reticent chief granted in the last decade of his life. Cochise: Firsthand Accounts of the Chiricahua Apache Chief brings together the most revealing of these documents to provide the most nuanced, multifaceted portrait possible of the Apache leader. In particular, the interviews, many printed here for the first time, are the closest we will ever get to autobiographical material on this notable man, his life, and his times.

Edwin R. Sweeney, a preeminent historian of the Apaches and their leaders, has assembled this collection from U.S. military records, Indian agency reports, U.S. and Mexican newspapers and journals, and transcribed personal recollections.

Throughout we hear the voices of those who knew Cochise well or observed him firsthand, including one who had never “met his equal with a lance” and another who attested that “no Apache warrior can draw an arrow to the head and send it farther with more ease than he.” We get two distinctly different views of the murderous events that led to the infamous Bascom Affair, in which Cochise and an American lieutenant squared off in a spiraling war of revenge. And we gain rare and unexpected insight into Cochise’s thoughts during the Chiricahuas’ move to the reservation at Tularosa.

In addition to a close-up picture of a pivotal figure in western history, Cochise offers accounts of a vanished world from people who lived in that world.

Retired as a professional accountant, Edwin R. Sweeney is an independent scholar and the author of Cochise: Chiricahua Apache Chief; Mangas Coloradas: Chief of the Chiricahua Apaches; and From Cochise to Geronimo: The Chiricahua Apaches, 1874–1886.

The Darkest Period The Kanza Indians and Their Last Homeland, 1846–1873

By Ronald D. Parks Before their relocation to the Indian Territory in present-day Oklahoma, the Kanza Indians spent twenty-seven years on a reservation near Council Grove, Kansas, on the Santa Fe Trail. In The Darkest Period, Ronald D. Parks tells the story of those years of decline in Kanza history following the loss of the tribe’s original homeland in northeastern and central Kansas. Parks makes use of accounts by agents, missionaries, journalists, and ethnographers in crafting this tale. He addresses both the big picture—the effects of Manifest Destiny—and local particulars such as the devastating impact on the tribe of the Santa Fe Trail. The result is a story of human beings rather than historical abstractions.

The Kanzas confronted powerful Euro-American forces during their last years in Kansas. Government officials and their policies, Protestant educators, predatory economic interests, and a host of continent-wide events affected the tribe profoundly. As Anglo-Americans invaded the Kanza homeland, the prairie was plowed and game disappeared. The Kanzas’ holy sites were desecrated and the tribe was increasingly confined to the reservation. During this “darkest period,” as chief Allegawaho called it in 1871, the Kanzas’ Neosho reservation population diminished by more than 60 percent. As one survivor put it, “They died of a broken heart, they died of a broken spirit.” But despite this adversity, as Parks’s narrative portrays, the Kanza people continued their relationship with the land—its weather, plants, animals, water, and landforms.

Parks does not reduce the Kanzas’ story to one of hapless Indian victims traduced by the American government. For, while encroachment, disease, and environmental deterioration exerted enormous pressure on tribal cohesion, the Kanzas persisted in their struggle to exercise political autonomy while maintaining traditional social customs up to the time of removal in 1873 and beyond.

Ronald D. Parks is former assistant director of the Historic Sites division of the Kansas State Historical Society and former administrator of the Kaw (Kanza) Mission State Historic Site. He has published numerous articles about the Kanzas.

How Native students at this boarding school found a middle way between assimilation and rejection of white ways

The Students of Sherman Indian School Education and Native Identity since 1892

By Diana Meyers Bahr Sherman Indian High School, as it is known today, began in 1892 as Perris Indian School on eighty acres south of Riverside, California, with nine students. Its mission, like that of other off-reservation Indian boarding schools, was to “civilize” Indian children, which meant stripping them of their Native culture and giving them vocational training. Today, the school on Magnolia Avenue in Riverside serves 350 students from 68 tribes, and its curricula are designed to both preserve Native languages and traditions and prepare students for life and work in mainstream American society. This book offers the first full history of Sherman Indian School’s 100-plus years, a history that reflects federal Indian education policy since the late nineteenth century.

Sherman Institute’s historical trajectory features the abuse and exploitation familiar from other accounts of life at Indian boarding schools—children punished and humiliated for maintaining Native ways and put to work as manual laborers. But this book also brings to light the ways Native children managed to maintain their dignity, benefited from interacting with students from other tribes, and often even expressed appreciation for the experiences at Sherman. Alternating periods of assimilation and self-determination form a critical part of the story Diana Meyers Bahr tells, but her interpretation of the students’ complex experiences is more subtle than that. From the accounts of students, educators, and administrators over the years, Bahr draws a picture of Sherman students successfully navigating a complicated middle course between total assimilation and total rejection of white education.

The ambivalence of such a middle way has meant confronting painful moral choices—and ultimately it has deepened students’ appreciation for the diverse cultures of Indian America and heightened their awareness of their own tribal identity. The ramifications can be seen in today’s Sherman Indian High School, a repository of the living history so deftly and thoroughly chronicled here.

Viewing the Ancestors Perceptions of the Anaasází, Mokwic˘, and Hisatsinom

By Robert S. McPherson The Anaasází people left behind marvelous structures, the ruins of which are preserved at Mesa Verde, Chaco Canyon, and Canyon de Chelly. But what do we know about these people, and how do they relate to Native nations living in the Southwest today? Archaeologists have long studied the American Southwest, but as historian Robert McPherson shows in Viewing the Ancestors, their findings may not tell the whole story. McPherson maintains that combining archaeology with knowledge derived from the oral traditions of the Navajo, Ute, Paiute, and Hopi peoples yields a more complete history.

McPherson’s approach to oral tradition reveals evidence that, contrary to the archaeological consensus that these groups did not coexist, the Navajos interacted with their Anaasází neighbors. In addition to examining archaeological literature, McPherson has studied traditional teachings and interviewed Native people to obtain accounts of their history and of the relations between the Anaasází and Athapaskan ancestors of today’s Hopi, Pueblo, and Navajo peoples.

Oral history, McPherson points out, tells why things happened. For example, archaeological findings indicate that the Hopi are descended from the Anaasází, but Hopi oral tradition better explains why the ancient Puebloans may have left the Four Corners region: the drought that may have driven the Anaasází away was a symptom of what had gone wrong within the society—a point that few archaeologists could derive from what is found in the ground.

That is the great question confronting the Cherokee Nation and forming the backdrop to volume 5 of Records of the Moravians among the Cherokees. Subtitled The Anna Rosina Years, Part 3: Farewell to Sister Gambold, volume 5 spans the years 1817 to 1821, years of great change within the Cherokee Nation and the end of an era at the Moravians’ Springplace mission.

Increasingly the Cherokees see the need to adopt new ways. Long gone is the hunter-gatherer way of life, supplanted by farming for livelihood. A new town, soon to be called New Echota, is begun as the “permanent seat of government,” and Abraham Steiner, the Moravians’ “Apostle to the Cherokees,” is invited to consecrate the council house. And throughout the Nation an awakening has begun, as more and more Cherokees open their hearts to the preaching of missionaries among them.

At the Moravians’ little Springplace mission, Br. John and Sr. Anna Rosina Gambold have toiled since 1805 and have only two converts for all their labor. But now they too share in the awakening, and a second station, at Oochgeelogy, is proposed. The Springplace school also prospers, and Sr. Gambold sees four of her “brown pupils” go to Cornwall in Connecticut for further education to become the next generation of leaders of the Cherokee Nation.

But then tragedy strikes. Margaret Ann Scott Crutchfield — Sr. Peggy, widow of the notorious Chief James Vann — the “first-fruit” of the Cherokee Nation at Springplace, passes away. And then it’s Sr. Gambold’s turn, and like her husband John, we are left to stand weeping at the grave of our “unforgettable Anna Rosel.”

With major financial support from the Cherokee Nation and the Eastern Band of the Cherokees, Records: Cherokees will next turn to the series of volumes subtitled March to Removal.

Maya Lords and Lordship The Formation of Colonial Society in Yucatán, 1350–1600

By Sergio Quezada Translated by Terry Rugeley When the Spanish arrived in Yucatán in 1526, they found an established political system based on lordship, a system the Spanish initially integrated into their colonial rule, but ultimately dismantled. In Maya Lords and Lordship, Sergio Quezada builds on the work of earlier scholars and reexamines Yucatec Maya political and social power, arguing that it operated not over territory, as previous scholars assumed, but rather through interpersonal relationships.

The changes to Maya culture imposed by Franciscan friars and Spanish lords worked to unravel the networks of personal ties that had empowered the highest Maya lords, and political power devolved to second-tier Maya lords. By 1600 Spanish rule had fragmented what was left of the interpersonal networks, draining power from the indigenous political structure.

Building on Quezada’s seminal 1993 study, Maya Lords and Lordship offers a fundamentally new vision of Maya political power, challenging the established views of anthropologists and ethnohistorians. Grounded in archival sources as well as historical and ethnographic literature, Quezada’s insights and conclusions will influence studies of the Postclassic and sixteenth-century Maya periods.

Sergio Quezada is a research professor at the Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán and a member of the Mexican Academy of History. He has published numerous articles and books on the history of Yucatán and its political organization. Terry Rugeley is Professor of Mexican and Latin American History at the University of Oklahoma. He has produced numerous scholarly monographs, translations, and edited collections on the history and culture of southeast Mesoamerica.

Featuring rarely seen paintings from the collection of Frederic C. Hamilton of Denver, supplemented by works from the Denver Art Museum, this book presents a broad-ranging history of Impressionist landscape—from the pioneering artists who painted in the forest of Fontainebleau and such paragons and teachers as Courbet, Corot, Daubigny, Boudin, and Manet through the central figures of Impressionism—Pissarro, Monet, Renoir, Sisley, and Morisot—and ultimately to Caillebotte, Cézanne, and van Gogh, whose works marked the start of a new era.

A final chapter on the American painters Chase, Twachtman, and Hassam gives an idea of Impressionism’s inroads into the United States.

Gorgeously illustrated with many close-up views and double-page details of the thirty-five featured artworks and a generous selection of reference illustrations, this book takes a fresh look at the development of one of the most beloved painting styles of all time.

Counters inexpert opinion and widespread misunderstanding of political and legislative history

The Senate Syndrome The Evolution of Procedural Warfare in the Modern U.S. Senate

By Steven S. Smith With its rock-bottom approval ratings, acrimonious partisan battles, and apparent inability to do its legislative business, the U.S. Senate might easily be deemed unworthy of attention, if not downright irrelevant. This book tells us that would be a mistake. Because the Senate has become the place where the policy-making process most frequently stalls, any effective resolution to our polarized politics demands a clear understanding of how the formerly august legislative body once worked and how it came to the present crisis. Steven S. Smith provides that understanding in The Senate Syndrome.

Like the Senate itself, Smith’s account is grounded in history. Countering a cacophony of inexpert opinion and a widespread misunderstanding of political and legislative history, the book fills in a world of missing information—about debates among senators concerning fundamental democratic processes and the workings of institutional rules, procedures, and norms. And Smith does so in a clear and engaging manner. He puts the present problems of the Senate—the “Senate syndrome,” as he calls them—into historical context by explaining how particular ideas and procedures were first framed and how they transformed with the times.

Along the way he debunks a number of myths about the Senate, many perpetuated by senators themselves, and makes some pointed observations about the media’s coverage of Congress.

The Senate Syndrome goes beyond explaining such seeming technicalities as the difference between regular filibusters and post-cloture filibusters, the importance of chair rulings, the changing role of the parliamentarian, and the debate over whether appeals of points of order should be subject to cloture margins, to show why understanding them matters. At stake is resolution of the Senate syndrome, and the critical underlying struggle between majority rule and minority rights in American policy making.

American Energy Policy in the 1970s Edited by Robert Lifset With Middle East blow-ups, pipeline politics, wind farm controversies, solar industry scandals, and disputes over fracking, it’s natural to think that the energy policy debate is at its most intense ever. But it’s easy to forget that energy issues dominated the nation’s politics in the 1970s as well. Wars were fought, political careers made and unmade, and fortunes gambled and lost, all because of the vagaries of energy production and consumption, which held the American public and its politicians in thrall.

This historical investigation focuses exclusively on American energy policy in the 1970s. Revisiting the last time energy issues came to the forefront of national political discourse, the essays collected here provide new insight into the energy crisis of that decade—insights with clear implications for our present dilemmas.

Among a new generation of energy historians, the authors address questions of political leadership, foreign policy, supply, and demand. Chapters examine the politics of energy policymaking; efforts by American policymakers to increase supply and reduce demand; and the challenge of crafting American foreign policy as the Middle East emerges as the world’s leading oil-producing region. American Energy Policy in the 1970s reminds us of a wide range of policy successes and failures and offers an in-depth look at the complicated workings of such issues as café standards, alternative energy supplies, nuclear power, conservation, the strategic petroleum reserve, and the Carter Doctrine.

This book restores historical clarity and context to the complex and politically freighted discussion of energy in America. It should inform and enlighten the discussion going forward.

His research focuses on energy and environmental history.

The Texas Tortoise A Natural History

By Francis L. Rose and Frank W. Judd Remnants of an ancient lineage, tortoises date back to the Eocene. Among the five species remaining in North America, Texas tortoises are the smallest in size and inhabit some of the harshest arid environments known. They are also the most neglected by wildlife personnel. In The Texas Tortoise, biologists Francis L. Rose and Frank W.

The authors begin by explaining the relationship of the Texas tortoise to other species, fossil as well as extant. They delineate the Texas tortoise’s environment and describe what it eats, how the animal grows and reproduces, and how it behaves.

Throughout, Rose and Judd write eloquently about the threats to the species’ survival, reflecting deep concern about its future protection.

The authors also discuss Texas tortoises’ significance in supporting other species in their environment—southern Texas and northeastern Mexico—where their survival is threatened by habitat reduction and increasing road traffic. “If you see a tortoise on the roadway,” Rose and Judd admonish the reader, “move it to safety, and drive away as quickly as legally allowed.” It is in fact illegal to collect or possess a Texas tortoise. But for those who do, this book advises how to care for the animal.

Tortoises have enjoyed a splendid and diverse history. That they did so well for so long is perplexing, the authors note, as the animals are slow and do not actively defend themselves against predators. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department lists Texas tortoises as “threatened,” and Rose and Judd call on the federal government to do the same. Biologists, conservationists, and turtle enthusiasts alike will find this guide to Texas and other tortoises invaluable.

Outdoors in the Southwest An Adventure Anthology Edited by Andrew Gulliford More college students than ever are majoring in Outdoor Recreation, Outdoor Education, or Adventure Education, but fewer and fewer Americans spend any time in thoughtful, respectful engagement with wilderness. While many young people may think of adrenaline-laced extreme sports as prime outdoor activities, with Outdoors in the Southwest, Andrew Gulliford seeks to promote appreciation for and discussion of the wild landscapes under those sports.

Advocating an outdoor ethic based on curiosity, cooperation, humility, and ecological literacy, this essay collection features selections by renowned southwestern writers including Terry Tempest Williams, Edward Abbey, John Nichols, and Barbara Kingsolver, as well as scholars, experienced guides, and river rats. Essays explain the necessity of nature in the digital age, recount rafting adventures, and reflect on the psychological effects of expeditions. True-life cautionary tales tell of encounters with nearly disastrous flash floods, 900-foot falls, and lightning strikes. The final chapter describes the work of Great Old Broads for Wilderness, the Colorado Fourteeners Initiative, and other exemplars of “wilderness tithing”—giving back to public lands through volunteering, stewardship, and ecoadvocacy.

Addressing the evolution of public land policy, the meaning of wilderness, and the importance of environmental protection, this collection serves as an intellectual guidebook not just for students but for travelers and anyone curious about the changing landscape of the West.

Andrew Gulliford is Professor of Southwest Studies and History at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. He is the author of Preserving Western History, Sacred Objects and Sacred Places: Preserving Tribal Traditions, and Boomtown Blues: Colorado Oil Shale.

Makes Petronius’ elegant, raunchy masterpiece accessible to a new generation of students of Latin

The Satyrica of Petronius An Intermediate Reader with Commentary and Guided Review

By Beth Severy-Hoven A comic masterpiece of classical antiquity, the Satyrica (or Satyricon) of Petronius is a tantalizing work of fiction—part poetry, part prose, hilariously vulgar, exquisitely elegant, its original form and length as much a matter of speculation as the identity of its author. Its brilliance and enduring influence are, however, beyond dispute. The romantic misadventures, fabulous feasts, and ribald foibles of Encolpius (“crotch” in Greek) and his cohorts have been endlessly translated, copied, censored, and celebrated through the ages. In The Satyrica of Petronius, Beth Severy-Hoven makes the masterpiece, with its flights of language and vision of Roman culture around the time of Nero, accessible to a new generation of students of Latin.

Following a fascinating introduction of the text, its history, its language, and its structure, Severy-Hoven offers expert guidance for reading sections of the novel in the original Latin. Readers are given the tools to consider and analyze the narrative structure of the work, an immense and uninterrupted first-person account by an unreliable narrator. Severy-Hoven also explores the contexts in which the text was written—addressing the social and cultural world the novel inhabits and includes.

Finally, she helps readers to examine Petronius’ use of Latin, focusing most notably on the combination of elegant prose and verse and raunchy colloquial speech, a combination that gives color to Petronius’ characters even as he parodies different literary styles and genres.

Intermediate readers of Latin will encounter Roman life, language, and literature in this work in ways at once new and familiar, and in forms as entertaining as they are instructive.

The Odyssey

By Homer Edited and translated by Herbert Jordan Introduction by E. Christian Kopff One of the two major ancient Greek epics, Homer’s Odyssey, has been a classic of Western Literature for centuries. This new translation into spare, elegant blank verse is certain to attract the same praise and admiration as Herbert Jordan’s translation of Homer’s Iliad.

In keeping with the style of his Iliad, Jordan renders the Odyssey line-for-line in iambic pentameter, a pleasing five-beat meter as used by Shakespeare and by his contemporary George Chapman, the first great translator of Homer into English verse. Jordan deftly pilots Homer’s dactyls and extended metaphors, capturing the essence of the poet’s meanings while avoiding an overly literal or colloquial style.

This edition features maps of the Aegean region and Odysseus’ travels, explanatory notes, a pronunciation glossary of nouns, and an index of similes. E. Christian Kopff’s introduction parses the Odyssey’s meaning and intent, and contextualizes the poem within the larger epic tradition.

Readers never tire of the story of Odysseus’ return home from the Trojan War. This lively and energetic rendition invites twenty-first-century readers and students of Homer’s epic to experience these adventures as if for the first time.

The War of 1812 in the Age of Napoleon

Never Come to Peace Again

By Jeremy Black

Pontiac’s Uprising and the Fate of the British Empire in North America

By David Dixon

Re-assessing this early American war from an international perspective

Black The War of 1812 in the Age of Napoleon

Dixon Never Come to Peace Again

Sheds new light on the causes and consequences of the Pontiac Uprising in colonial America “This study of the War of 1812 will be consulted for years to come for its broad view of the international conflict . . . and for its comparative view of military operations through space and time.”—Military History

“A thoroughly researched and detailed narrative of one of the great military conflicts of early America.”—Colin G. Calloway, author of New Worlds for All: Indians, Europeans, and the Remaking of Early America

The War of 1812 is etched into American memory with the burning of the Capitol and the White House by British forces, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” and the decisive naval battle of New Orleans. Now a respected British military historian offers an international perspective on the conflict to better gauge its significance.

“Dixon vividly recreates the conflict’s dramatic events such as the siege of Detroit, the surprise and capture of a half-dozen smaller British posts, and the battle at Bushy Run.”—American Historical Review

In The War of 1812 in the Age of Napoleon, Jeremy Black provides a dramatic account of the war framed within a wider political and economic context than most American historians have previously considered. In his examination of events both diplomatic and military, Black especially focuses on the actions of the British, for whom the conflict was, he argues, a mere distraction from the Napoleonic War in Europe.

For those who think the War of 1812 is a closed book, this volume brims with observations and insights that better situate this “American” war on the international stage.

Jeremy Black is Professor of History at the University of Exeter and a senior fellow at the Center for the Study of America and the West at the Foreign Policy Research Institute in Philadelphia. He is the author of more than seventy books and has lectured extensively around the world.

Before the American Revolution, the Ohio River Valley was a cauldron of competing interests: Indian, colonial, and imperial.

Pontiac’s Uprising (1763–66) erupted in this volatile atmosphere.

When the Seven Years’ War ended in 1763, French forts across the wilderness passed into British possession. Native tribes of the Ohio valley were angered, recognizing they were just exchanging one master for another. Led by Ottawa chief Pontiac, a confederation of tribes, including the Delaware, Seneca, Chippewa, Miami, Potawatomie, and Huron, rose up against the British. Ultimately unsuccessful, the prolonged and widespread rebellion took a heavy toll on British forces.

The first complete account of Pontiac’s Uprising in nearly fifty years, Never Come to Peace Again is a richly detailed account of the causes, conduct, and consequences of a conflict that proved pivotal in American colonial history.

Hancock’s War

Burgoyne and the Saratoga Campaign

Conflict on the Southern Plains

By William Y. Chalfant Foreword by Jerome A. Greene

His Papers

By Douglas R. Cubbison

The first through scholarly history of this ill-fated expedition

“An important contribution to the history of the Indian Wars.”—Western Historical Quarterly

Exploring the vastly different ways of life separating Cheyennes and U.S. policymakers, William Y. Chalfant shows that neither side was willing or able to understand the other’s needs. He reveals how Hancock’s counterproductive efforts brought untold misery to Indians and whites alike and led to the wars of 1868.

Chalfant’s sweeping narrative forms the definitive history of one of the most significant Indian campaigns in American history.

William Y. Chalfant, a practicing attorney and a director of the Kansas Historical Society, is an avid student of western American history. Jerome A. Greene is retired as Research Historian for the National Park Service. He is the author of numerous books, including Stricken Field: The Little Bighorn since 1876.

The American victory over the British at Saratoga in 1777 was arguably the pivotal event of the American Revolutionary War. The defeat led France and Spain to declare war on Britain, transforming a colonial uprising into a world war and assuring the colonists’ success. The British troops were led by Lieutenant General John Burgoyne, and two years after his defeat he faced a parliamentary investigation into his conduct.

In Burgoyne and the Saratoga Campaign, Douglas R. Cubbison presents the papers Burgoyne gathered to prepare for his appearance before Parliament and a narrative history of the campaign. Burgoyne’s correspondence outlines the campaign’s political organization and planning, logistical preparations, and implementation.

Burgoyne led the British army detachment sent to stop the rebels from seizing Canada. He was not prepared for warfare in the deep woods of Canada and New York and seriously underestimated the American rebels. Burgoyne’s documents—and Cubbison’s analysis—are crucial for understanding this turning point in the Revolutionary War. Douglas R. Cubbison, a former U.S. Army Field Artillery Officer and Command Historian, is curator of the Wyoming Veterans’ Memorial Museum in Casper and author of The American Northern Theater Army in 1776: The Ruin and Reconstruction of the Continental Force.

Cubbison Burgoyne and the Saratoga Campaign

When General Winfield Scott Hancock led a military expedition across Kansas, Colorado, and Nebraska in 1867, his purpose was a show of force that would curtail Indian raiding sparked by the Sand Creek massacre of 1864. But the havoc he and his troops wrought on the plains served only to further incite the tribes and inflame passions on both sides, disrupting U.S.-Indian relations for more than a decade.

The Mesquakie Challenge to New France

By R. David Edmunds and Joseph L. Peyser

Plains Indian War Prisoners

By Brad D. Lookingbill Describes the captivity of seventy-two Native American warriors

Examines the role of Mesquakie Indians during the French invasion of the central United States

This is the saga of the Fox (or Mesquakie) Indians’ struggle to maintain their identity in the face of colonial New France during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries.

The Foxes occupied central Wisconsin, where for a long time they had warred with the Sioux and, more recently, had opposed the extension of the French firearm-and-fur trade with their western enemies. Caught between the Sioux anvil and the French hammer, the Foxes enlisted other tribes’ support and maintained their independence until the late 1720s. Then the French treacherously offered them peace before launching a campaign of annihilation against them. The Foxes resisted valiantly, but finally were overwhelmed and took sanctuary among the Sac Indians, with whom they are closely associated to this day.

R. David Edmunds, Professor of History at the University of Texas in Dallas, is a historian of Native American people and the American West. He is the author or editor of ten books and over one hundred essays, articles, and other shorter publications. The late Joseph L. Peyser, who was Professor Emeritus of French at Indiana University, South Bend, and well known as an editor and translator of documents relating to New France, received the 1991 Hesseltine Award of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin for his research on the French-Fox conflict.

“A unique and well told story.”—Military History War Dance at Fort Marion tells the powerful story of Kiowa, Cheyenne, Comanche, and Arapaho chiefs and warriors detained as prisoners of war by the U.S. Army. Held from 1875 until 1878 at Fort Marion in Saint Augustine, Florida, they participated in an educational experiment, initiated by Captain Richard Henry Pratt.

The Indian leaders followed Pratt’s rules but remained true to their identities. They continued to practice Native ceremonies and illustrated their history and experiences in the now-famous ledger books.

Brad D. Lookingbill draws on primary source documents, particularly Native American accounts, to reconstruct the war prisoners’ story.

George Crook

John Charles Frémont and the Course of American Empire

By Tom Chaffin

From the Redwoods to Appomattox

By Paul Magid

Brings to life the personal and political experiences of a remarkable American

A new assessment of the frontier army commander, focusing on his early career

The career of John Charles Frémont (1813–90) ties together the full breadth of American expansionism from its eighteenthcentury origins through its culmination in the Gilded Age. Tom Chaffin’s biography demonstrates Frémont’s vital importance to the history of American empire, and illuminates his role in shattering long-held myths about the ecology and habitability of the American West.

Renowned for his prominent role in the Apache and Sioux wars, General George Crook (1828–1890) was considered by William Tecumseh Sherman to be his greatest Indian-fighting general. Although Crook was feared on the battlefield, in defeat the tribes found him a true friend who earned their trust and friendship when he defended them from political corruption and greed.

As the most celebrated American explorer and mapper of his time, Frémont stood at the center of the vast federal project of western exploration and conquest. His expeditions between 1838 and 1854 captured the public’s imagination, inspired Americans to accept their nation’s destiny as a vast continental empire, and earned him his enduring sobriquet, the Pathfinder.

Paul Magid’s engaging narrative focuses on Crook’s early years through the end of the Civil War. He examines Crook’s dramatic and controversial role in the Civil War on three fronts—in West Virginia, Tennessee, and Virginia. Crook saw action during the battle of Antietam and in major offensives in the Shenandoah Valley and the Chattanooga and Appomattox campaigns. His courage, leadership, and tactical skills won him the respect and admiration of his commanding officers, including Generals Grant and Sheridan.

But Frémont was more than an explorer. Chaffin’s dramatic narrative includes Frémont’s varied experiences as an entrepreneur, abolitionist, Civil War general, husband to the remarkable Jessie Benton Frémont, two-time Republican presidential candidate, and Gilded Age aristocrat.

Tom Chaffin is Research Professor of History at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where he also directs and edits the series Correspondence of James K. Polk. Among his numerous publications, he has written articles for the New York Times, Harper’s, and Time, and his books include Sea of Gray: The Around-the-World Odyssey of the Confederate Raider Shenandoah and Giant’s Causeway: Frederick Douglass’s Irish Odyssey and the Making of an American Visionary.

Biographies from the Military Frontier Edited by Paul Andrew Hutton and Durwood Ball

Black and White Together

By Charles L. Kenner

An expanded edition featuring balanced portraits of pre– and post–Civil War officers

“Impressive. . . . Soldiers West merits a place on every frontier military bookshelf.”—New Mexico Historical Review From the War of 1812 to the end of the nineteenth century, U.S. Army officers were instrumental in shaping the American West. They helped explore uncharted places and surveyed and engineered far-flung transportation arteries. Many also served in ferocious campaigns that drove American Indians onto reservations. Soldiers West views the turbulent history of the West from the perspective of fifteen senior army officers—including Philip H. Sheridan, George Armstrong Custer, and Nelson A. Miles—who were assigned to bring order to the region.

This revised edition of Paul Andrew Hutton’s classic work adds five new biographies, while updated essays from the first edition incorporate recent scholarship. New portraits of Stephen W. Kearny, Philip St. George Cooke, and James H. Carleton expand coverage of the antebellum frontier army. Other new pieces focus on John M. Chivington, the controversial commander of Colorado volunteers at the 1863 Sand Creek Massacre, and Oliver O. Howard, a major force in federal and private initiatives to reform Indian policy. And Durwood Ball’s introduction discusses the vigorous growth of frontier military history since the original publication of Soldiers West.

Paul Andrew Hutton, Distinguished Professor of History, University of New Mexico, is author of the prize-winning book Phil Sheridan and His Army. Durwood Ball, Associate Professor of History, University of New Mexico, is the author of Army Regulars on the Western Frontier, 1848–1861.

A pioneering history of the Buffalo Soldiers’ officers and men on the Western frontier

“Masterful . . . a finely tuned narrative that addresses the issue head-on. . . . A study long overdue.”—Western Historical Quarterly “If one wants a glimpse of a little-known facet of Western history, read this book.”—Journal of the West The inclusion of the Ninth Cavalry and three other African American regiments in the post–Civil War army was one of the nation’s most problematic social experiments. The first fifteen years following its organization in 1866 were stained by mutinies, slanderous verbal assaults, and sadistic abuses by its officers. Eventually, a number of considerate and dedicated officers and noncommissioned officers created an elite and welldisciplined fighting unit that won the respect of all but the most racist whites.

Charles L. Kenner’s detailed biographies of officers and enlisted men describe the passions, aspirations, and conflicts that both bound blacks and whites together and pulled them apart.

Special attention is given to the ordeals of three black officers assigned to the Ninth Cavalry: Lieutenants John Alexander and Charles Young and Chaplain Henry Plummer. The subjects of the biographies, blacks and whites alike, represent every facet of human nature. The best learned that progress could be achieved only through trust and cooperation.

Charles L. Kenner (1933–2011) was Professor of History at Arkansas State University. His numerous publications on the American Southwest include a study of the Pecos cattle trail and a social history of the 9th Cavalry, known as Buffalo Soldiers.

For millennia, Native artists on Olympic Peninsula have created coiled and woven baskets using tree roots, bark, plant stems—and meticulous skill. Abundantly illustrated, From the Hands of a Weaver presents the traditional art of basket making among the peninsula’s peoples and describes the ancient, historic, and modern practices of the craft.

Using primary-source material as well as interviews, volume editor Jacilee Wray shows how Olympic Peninsula craftspeople participated in the development of the commercial basket industry, transforming useful but beautiful objects into creations appreciated as art. Other contributors address poaching of cedar and native grasses, and conservation efforts—contemporary challenges faced by basket makers.

Appendices identify weavers and describe weaves attributed to each culture, making this an important reference for both scholars and collectors.

Featuring more than 150 photographs and drawings of weavers and their baskets, this engaging book highlights the culture of distinct Native Northwest peoples while giving voice to individual artists, masters of a living art form.

What does it mean to be Metis? How do the Metis, northwestern people of mixed European and Native ancestry, understand their world? And how do family, community, and location shape their consciousness? Such questions inform this collection of essays on the northwestern North American people of mixed European and Native ancestry who emerged in the seventeenth century as a distinct culture. Volume editors Nicole St-Onge, Carolyn Podruchny, and Brenda Macdougall go beyond the concern with race and ethnicity that takes center stage in most discussions of Metis culture to offer new ways of thinking about Metis identity.

In the past, many Native American cultures treated women and men as equals. In A Necessary Balance, Lillian A. Ackerman explores the balance of power and responsibility between men and women in the eleven Plateau Indian tribes living on the Colville Indian Reservation in Washington State.

Ackerman analyzes tribal cultures over three periods—the traditional past, the farming phase when Indians were forced onto the reservation, and the industrial present. She examines gender equality in four social spheres: economic, domestic, political, and religious.
