As I vacate thjs restless chair and abandon to nimbler fingers this familiar typewriter, senti· ment chokes me, and as an editor I have found sentiment gagging. Grati­ tude is the only coin available for unpayable debts. To the authors of more than 50,000 manuscripts· the postman has dropped at our door, I give thanks. For the unlucky ones who didn't make it into our pages I under­ line the hopelessness~nd sorrow an editor experiences over every rejection slip. To those who have graced our pages with talent and imagination and the gem-pure slavery of writing, I am grateful. To our long-suffering readers I apologize for lapses in judgment. I could fill this page with a hundred and a thousand names of sterling souls who have made life bearable and even rewarding. The predecessors in this post-George Arms, Charles Allen, Kenneth Lash, Joaquin Ortega, T. M. Pearce, Paul Sears, Dudley Wynn-eamed their laurels. Others, by sound advice, bard work, and spiritual comfort-Carolyn Adair, Blair Boyd, J. Robert Feynn, Edwin Honig, Helen Gentry and David Greenhood, Carol Kunnan, Philip Legler, Edward Lueders, Virginia ~ierre, William Peden, Winfield Townley . Scott, Ramona Maher Weeks, Clifford Wood-have merited ·affection. Those carrying;on--I salute. New Mexico, which the great Witter Bynner called "this autumnal Spain," I will miss. I will carry with me the myths and realities, so difficult to distinguish, which New Mexico spells, and which are the spell of New Mexico. -ROLAND DICDY, Editor , In January 1967.

The magazines are The Seven Arts (1916-1917), 291 (1915-1916), The Soil (1916-1917), and The Pagan (1916-1922). The division between art and commerce is addressed in the text of all four, in a variety of different ways, and the results of that supposed division are explored for each magazine.

  • Donna Ippolito Swallow Press
    Journal of the West Volume 8. 1969 B O O K S FOR THE WESTERN LIBRARY D. E. Livingston-Little, Editor 476 ALAN SWALLOW: Platten Press Publisher By Donna Ippolito and Shirley Kopatz ALAN SWALLOW died at his typewriter on Thanksgiving day, 1966, at age fifty-one. After being virtually a single-handed publisher for twenty-six years, he left behind a list, awesome in its integrity, of some four hundred titles. The books were almost evenly split in emphasis. Half the titles — poetry, literary criticism, fiction — seemed incompatible with the other half — books about the West. Although intensely dedicated to giving poetry and, especially, young poets, a chance, Swallow had given one-half his list to volumes on railroads, Western history and biography, Indians, guidebooks, regional folklore. The involvement with poetry and belles letters is easily traced. He early became an avid reader, wrote poetry himself, and had done formal studies in literature through his doctorate degree. Believing that the number of publishers who prized their literary qualifications had nearly disappeared, Alan Swallow considered his principal editorial task to be his faith in his own unaided judgment. The books would be tested by his own standards, not by sales, reviewers or the opinion of the New York publishers. Rather than being contradictory, Swal- 477 JOURNAL of the WEST low’s equal intensity for books about the West becomes clear upon looking at his independent Western origins. Perhaps like so many born west of the Mississippi, Swallow never ceased to identify with his native region. His roots were in the difficult early life on his father’s farm in Wyoming located near to what was still a frontier.

By Duane A. Smith. The Modern American West Series. (Tucson: University of Arizona Press, 2008. xiv + 304 pp. 23 halftones, map, suggested readings, notes, index. $50.00 cloth, ISBN 978-0-8165-2456-3, $22.95 paper, ISBN 978-0-8165-2759-5.) Duane A. Smith’s Rocky Mountain Heartland picks up where his previous work, Rocky Mountain West (1992), left off by taking the histories of Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana into the twentieth century. Dense with detail, this new work synthesizes each state’s more recent history, paying particular atten- tion to the cycles of political and economic change. Urbanization, tourism, and federal expansion join the earlier economic pillars of agriculture and mining in Smith’s wide-ranging consideration of the development of these western states. According to Smith, the twentieth century would belong to the urbanite, not the rural dweller. The work proceeds decade by decade, with each chapter offering an unusual contrast among Colorado’s, Wyoming’s, and Montana’s pasts.
