The first comprehensive history of the region, people, and state in more than thirty years

New Mexico A History

S ánchez, pu d e, G ómez N ew M e x ico By Joseph P. Sánchez, Robert L. Spude, and Art Gómez Since the earliest days of Spanish exploration and settlement, New Mexico has been known for lying off the beaten track. But this new history reminds readers that the world has been beating paths to New Mexico for hundreds of years, via the Camino Real, the Santa Fe Trail, several railroads, Route 66, the interstate highway system, and now the Internet.

This first complete history of New Mexico in more than thirty years begins with the prehistoric cultures of the earliest inhabitants. The authors then trace the state’s growth from the arrival of Spanish explorers and colonizers in the sixteenth century to the centennial of statehood in 2012. Most historians have made the territory’s admission to the Union in 1912 as the starting point for the state’s modernization. As this book shows, however, the transformation from frontier province to modern state began with World War II. The technological advancements of the Atomic October $26.95 Cloth 978-0-8061-4256-2 Era, spawned during wartime, propelled New Mexico to the forefront of scientific 376 Pages, 6 × 9 research and pointed it toward the twenty-first century. 12 b&w illus., 5 maps U.S. History The authors discuss the state’s historical and cultural geography, the economics of mining and ranching, irrigation’s crucial role in agriculture, and the impact Of Related Interest of Native political activism and tribe-owned gambling casinos.

tragedies A ssassination and C ommemoration

Assassination and Commemoration JFK, Dallas, and The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza By Stephen Fagin Foreword by Conover Hunt Preface by Edward T. Linenthal The shots that killed President John F. Kennedy in November 1963 were fired from the sixth floor of a nondescript warehouse at the edge of Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas. That floor in the Texas School Book Depository became a museum exhibit in 1989 and was designated part of a National Historic Landmark District in 1993. This book recounts the slow and painful process by which a city and a nation came to terms with its collective memory of the assassination and its aftermath.

Stephen Fagin begins Assassination and Commemoration by retracing the events that culminated in Lee Harvey Oswald’s shots at the presidential motorcade. He vividly describes the volatile political climate of midcentury Dallas as well as the shame that haunted the city for decades after the assassination. The book July $29.95 Cloth 978-0-8061-4358-3 highlights the decades-long work of people determined to create a museum that 272 Pages, 6 × 9 commemorates a president and recalls the drama and heartbreak of November 22, 29 b&w illus., 10 color photos 1963. Fagin narrates the painstaking day-to-day work of cultivating the support U.S. History of influential citizens and convincing boards and committees of the importance of preservation and interpretation.

Today, The Sixth Floor Museum helps visitors to interpret the depository and Dealey Plaza as sacred ground and a monument to an unforgettable American tragedy. One of the most popular historic sites in Texas, it is a place of quiet reflection, of edification for older Americans who remember the Kennedy years, and of education for the large and growing number of younger visitors unfamiliar with the events the museum commemorates. Like the museum itself, Fagin’s book both carefully studies a community’s confrontation with tragedy and explores the ways we preserve the past.

Stephen Fagin is Associate Curator and Oral Historian at The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza. He holds a Master of Arts in Museum Studies from the University of Oklahoma. Conover Hunt served as the museum’s original project director and is its former Chief Curator and Historian. Edward T.

A Family of the Land The Texas Photography of Guy Gillette

By Andy Wilkinson Foreword by B. Byron Price Since he first dreamed of a career in photography, Guy Gillette has traveled regularly to his wife’s family’s ranch, located outside the small town of Crockett, Texas. When Gillette first came to the Porter Place, as the ranch has always been known, he began to photograph the Porter family and their land. Thanks to Gillette’s sense of composition, these wonderful black-and-white photographs, dating from the 1940s, led to his career as a magazine photographer. Collected here for the first time, they document small-town life in East Texas, where Guy Gillette’s sons, the musical duo the Gillette Brothers, still run cattle. A Family Volume 13 in the Charles M. Russell Center of the Land offers a portrait of a community over a half century during which Series on Art and Photography of the American West remarkably little has changed.

“Though photography is often called art,” says Gillette, “I have wanted to be artless: to be a documentarian, not an artist. . . .

Her eyesight is damaged, but as she “looks” back on the events of her past, she realizes she may not have seen them correctly when she was actually living them. Her husband’s death . . . was it a suicide? The bones unearthed on her uncle’s Montana ranch—are they of a steer? a mastodon? a dinosaur? Her beloved cousin Jessie—did she slip into addiction, and if so, where did the addict life take her?

Lynette and her two cousins, Jessie and Buster, narrate the linked short stories that make up Boneland.

Thought-provoking essays explore the lives of contemporary K ates

Oklahoma women W R ed D irt omen

Red Dirt Women At Home on the Oklahoma Plains By Susan Kates Foreword by Rilla Askew For many people who have never spent time in the state, Oklahoma conjures up a series of stereotypes: rugged cowboys, tipi-dwelling American Indians, uneducated farmers. When women are pictured at all, they seem frozen in time: as the bonneted pioneer woman stoically enduring hardship or the bedraggled, gaunt-faced mother familiar from Dust Bowl photographs. In Red Dirt Women, Susan Kates challenges these one-dimensional characterizations by exploring—and celebrating—the lives of contemporary Oklahoma women whose experiences are anything but predictable.

In essays both intensely personal and universal, Red Dirt Women reveals the author’s own heartaches and joys in becoming a parent through adoption, her love of regional treasures found in “junk” stores, and her deep appreciation of

As she illuminates the lives of these memorable Oklahoma women, Kates traces Of Related Interest her own journey to Oklahoma with clarity and insight. Born and raised in Ohio, she confesses an initial apprehension about her adopted home, admitting that she felt “vulnerable on the open lands.” Yet her original unease develops into a deep affection for the landscape, history, culture, and people of Oklahoma.

Two desperate quests interweave in this historical-meets-modern adventure story T he D ig ussell R

The Dig In Search of Coronado’s Treasure By Sheldon Russell Life couldn’t be worse for archaeology grad student Jim Hunt. Having lost his funding at a major midwestern university, and his partner, he desperately needs a breakthrough to revitalize his work and his life. Could a summer dig in map-dot Lyons, Kansas, jumpstart his fledgling career? Out of options, he packs his bags.

Five hundred years earlier, Spanish conquistador Francisco Vásquez de Coronado faces a desperate journey of his own through New World terrain. He must find the legendary golden city of Quivira. But can he trust the mysterious “Turk,” his Indian guide?

Jim and Coronado’s stories interweave in The Dig, intersecting at a fateful point.

Things don’t improve for Jim with his first steps in Lyons—and his trespass upon an ancient mausoleum. His curiosity angers the locals—including Eva, a striking September but no-nonsense museum worker Jim is instantly drawn to. A local tough, Mitch $16.95 Paper 978-0-8061-4360-6 246 Pages, 5.5 × 8.5 Keeper—enforcer for a reclusive, wealthy landowner—seems to go out of his way Fiction to harass Jim.

After days of wandering through dusty lands with no food or water, Coronado and his men are dying. Still, the Turk beckons them on. To continue means death.

Showcases the work of a distinguished twentieth-century artist

Modern Spirit The Art of George Morrison ushing, M akholm odern S pirit R By W. Jackson Rushing III and Kristin Makholm Foreword by Kay WalkingStick The work of Chippewa artist George Morrison (1919–2000) has enjoyed widespread critical acclaim. His paintings, drawings, prints, and sculptures have been displayed in numerous public and private exhibitions, and he is one of Minnesota’s most cherished artists. Yet because Morrison’s artwork typically does not include overt references to his Indian heritage, it has stirred debate about what it means to be a Native American artist. This stunning catalogue, featuring 130 color and black-and-white images, showcases Morrison’s work across a spectrum of genres and media, while also exploring the artist’s identity as a modernist within the broader context of twentieth-century American and Native American art.

New Mexico M iera y P acheco

Miera y Pacheco A Renaissance Spaniard in Eighteenth-Century New Mexico By John L. Kessell Remembered today as an early cartographer and prolific religious artist, don Bernardo de Miera y Pacheco (1713–1785) engaged during his lifetime in a surprising array of other pursuits: engineer and militia captain on Indian campaigns, district officer, merchant, debt collector, metallurgist, luckless silver miner, presidial soldier, dam builder, and rancher. This long-overdue, richly illustrated biography recounts Miera’s complex life in cinematic detail, from his birth in Cantabria, Spain, to his sudden and unexplained appearance at Janos, Chihuahua, and his death in Santa Fe at age seventy-one.

In Miera y Pacheco, John L. Kessell explores each aspect of this Renaissance man’s life in the colony. Beginning with his marriage to the young descendant of a once-prominent New Mexican family, we see Miera transformed by his varied experiences into the quintessential Hispanic New Mexican. As he traveled to every August corner of the colony and beyond, Miera gathered not only geographical, social, and $29.95s Cloth 978-0-8061-4377-4 political data but also invaluable information about the Southwest’s indigenous 232 Pages, 6 × 9 peoples.

The fascinating story of Cody’s venture into filmmaking during the early years of cinema

Buffalo Bill on the Silver Screen The Films of William F. Cody

S creen B ill on the S ilver B uffalo By Sandra K. Sagala For more than thirty years, William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody entertained audiences S agala across the United States and Europe with his Wild West show. Scores of books have been written about Cody’s fabled career as a showman, but his involvement in the film industry—following the dissolution of his traveling show—is less well known. In Buffalo Bill on the Silver Screen, Sandra K. Sagala chronicles the fascinating story of Cody’s venture into filmmaking during the early cinema period.

In 1894 Thomas Edison invited Cody to bring some of the Wild West performers to the inventor’s kinetoscope studio. From then on, as Sagala reveals, Cody was frequently in the camera’s eye, eager to participate in the newest and most popular phenomenon of the era: the motion picture. In 1910, promoter Pliny Craft produced The Life of Buffalo Bill, a film in which Cody played his own persona. After his Wild West show disbanded, Cody fully embraced the film business, seeing August $24.95s Cloth 978-0-8061-4361-3 the technology as a way to recoup his financial losses and as a new vehicle for 232 Pages, 5.5 × 8.5 preserving America’s history and his own legacy for future generations. Because he 21 b&w illus. had participated as a scout in some of the battles and skirmishes between the U.S. Biography/U.S. History Army and Plains Indians, Cody wanted to make a film that captured these historical events. Unfortunately for Cody, The Indian Wars (1913) was not a financial success, Of Related Interest and only three minutes of footage have survived.

Long after his death, Cody’s legacy lives on through the many movies that have featured his character. Sagala provides a useful appendix listing all of these films, as well as those for which Cody himself took an active role as director, producer, or actor.

How American journalists responded to Custer’s defeat M ueller S hooting A rrows and S linging M ud

Shooting Arrows and Slinging Mud Custer, the Press, and the Little Bighorn By James E. Mueller The defeat of George Armstrong Custer and the Seventh Cavalry at the Battle of the Little Bighorn was big news in 1876. Newspaper coverage of the battle initiated hot debates about whether the U.S. government should change its policy toward American Indians and who was to blame for the army’s loss—the latter, an argument that ignites passion to this day. In Shooting Arrows and Slinging Mud, James E. Mueller draws on exhaustive research of period newspapers to explore press coverage of the famous battle. As he analyzes a wide range of accounts—some grim, some circumspect, some even laced with humor—Mueller offers a unique take on the dramatic events that so shook the American public.

Among the many myths surrounding the Little Bighorn is that journalists of that time were incompetent hacks who, in response to the stunning news of Custer’s defeat, called for bloodthirsty revenge against the Indians and portrayed the “boy October general” as a glamorous hero who had suffered a martyr’s death. Mueller argues $29.95s Cloth 978-0-8061-4398-9 otherwise, explaining that the journalists of 1876 were not uniformly biased against 272 Pages, 6 × 9 the Indians, and they did a credible job of describing the battle. They reported facts 12 b&w illus. U.S. History as they knew them, wrote thoughtful editorials, and asked important questions.

Although not without their biases, journalists reporting on the Battle of the Little Of Related Interest Bighorn cannot be credited—or faulted—for creating the legend of Custer’s Last Stand. Indeed, as Mueller reveals, after the initial burst of attention, these journalists quickly moved on to other stories of their day. It would be art and popular culture—biographies, paintings, Wild West shows, novels, and movies—that would forever embed the Last Stand in the American psyche.

How storekeepers and merchant bankers advanced the territorial economy from barter to commerce tatehood

B anking in O klahoma before S republic until commercial patterns coalesced in the East. It then follows the course of American expansion westward, tracing the evolution of commerce and banking w er in Oklahoma from their genesis to the eve of statehood in 1907.

H ighto Banking in Oklahoma before Statehood is not just a story of men sitting behind desks. Author Michael J. Hightower describes the riverboat trade in the Arkansas and Red River valleys and freighting on the Santa Fe Trail. Shortages of both currency and credit posed major impediments to regional commerce until storekeepers solved these problems by moving beyond barter to open ad hoc establishments known as merchant banks.

Banking went through a wild adolescence during the territorial period.

Reinterprets Prevost’s long-criticized conduct in the War of 1812 anada

D efender of C Defender of Canada Sir George Prevost and the War of 1812 d zinski G ro By John R. Grodzinski Foreword by Donald E. Graves When war broke out between Great Britain and the United States in 1812, Sir George Prevost, captain general and governor in chief of British North America, was responsible for defending a group of North American colonies that stretched as far as the distance from Paris to Moscow. He also commanded one of the largest British overseas forces during the Napoleonic Wars. Defender of Canada, the first book-length examination of Prevost’s career, offers a reinterpretation of the general’s military leadership in the War of 1812. Historian John R. Grodzinski shows that Prevost deserves far greater credit for the successful defense of Canada than he has heretofore received.

Earlier accounts portrayed Prevost as overly cautious and attributed the Volume 40 in the Campaigns and Commanders Series preservation of Canada to other officers, but Grodzinski challenges these assumptions and restores the general to his rightful place as British North America’s

Military History Prevost’s range of responsibilities in British North America were daunting. They included overseeing joint endeavors with Indian allies, managing logistical Of Related Interest matters, monitoring naval construction and personnel needs, supervising colonial governments, and commanding the defense of Canada. Tasked with protecting an extensive and complex territory, Prevost employed a mix of soldiers, sailors, locally raised forces, and indigenous people in taking advantage of the American military’s weaknesses to defeat most of its plans.

Special Operations in World War II British and American Irregular Warfare By Andrew L. Hargreaves orld W British and American commanders first used modern special forces in support of

conventional military operations during World War II. Since then, although special ar II ops have featured prominently in popular culture and media coverage of wars, the academic study of irregular warfare has remained as elusive as the practitioners of special operations themselves. This book is the first comprehensive study of the development, application, and value of Anglo-American commando and special forces units during the Second World War.

Special forces are intensively trained, specially selected military units performing unconventional and often high-risk missions. In this book, Andrew L. Hargreaves not only describes tactics and operations but also outlines the distinctions between commandos and special forces, traces their evolution during the war, explains how the Anglo-American alliance functioned in the creation and use of these units, looks Volume 39 in the Campaigns and Commanders Series at their command and control arrangements, evaluates their impact, and assesses their cost-effectiveness.

The development of special forces by the United States was also a direct consequence of defeat. After Of Related Interest Pearl Harbor, Hargreaves shows, the Americans found themselves in much the same position as Britain had been in 1940: shocked, outnumbered, and conventionally defeated, they were unable to come to grips with the enemy on a large scale. By the end of the war, a variety of these units had overcome a multitude of evolutionary hurdles and made valuable contributions to practically every theater of operation.

Torn by War B yers, P hillips T The Civil War Journal of Mary Adelia Byers By Mary Adelia Byers Edited by Samuel R. Phillips Foreword by George E. Lankford The Civil War divided the nation, communities, and families. The town of Batesville, Arkansas, found itself occupied three times by the Union army. This compelling book gives a unique perspective on the war’s western edge through the diary of Mary Adelia Byers (1847–1918), who began recording her thoughts and observations during the Union occupation of Batesville in 1862.

Only fifteen when she starts her diary, Mary is beyond her years in maturity, as revealed by her acute observations of the world around her. At the same time, she appears very much a child of her era. Having lost her father at a young age, she and her family depend on the financial support of her Uncle William, a slaveowner October and Confederate sympathizer.

Her journal ends in March 1865, shortly before the war comes to a close. Of Related Interest Torn by War reveals the conflicts faced by an agricultural social elite economically dependent on slavery but situated on the fringes of the conflict between North and South. On a more personal level, it also shows how resilient and perceptive young people can be during times of crisis.

Bracketing the Enemy

Forward Observers in World War II By John R. Walker After the end of World War II, General George Patton declared that artillery had won the war. Yet howitzers did not achieve victory on their own. Crucial to the success of these big guns were forward observers, artillerymen on the front lines who directed the artillery fire. Until now, the vital role of forward observers in ground combat has received little scholarly attention. In Bracketing the Enemy, John R. Walker remedies this oversight by offering the first full-length history of forward observer teams during World War II.

As early as the U.S. Civil War, artillery fire could reach as far as two miles, but without an “FO” (forward observer) to report where the first shot had landed in relation to the target, and to direct subsequent fire by outlining or “bracketing” the targeted range, many of the advantages of longer-range fire were wasted. During World War II, FOs accompanied infantrymen on the front lines. Now, for the first August time, gun crews could bring deadly accurate fire on enemy positions immediately as $29.95s Cloth 978-0-8061-4380-4 advancing riflemen encountered these enemy strongpoints. According to Walker, this 296 Pages, 6 × 9 transition from direct to indirect fire was one of the most important innovations to 25 b&w illus., 5 maps Military History have occurred in ground combat in centuries.

Using the 37th Division in the Pacific Theater and the 87th in Europe as case Of Related Interest studies, Walker presents a vivid picture of the dangers involved in FO duty and shows how vitally important forward observers were to the success of ground operations in a variety of scenarios. FO personnel not only performed a vital support function as artillerymen but often transcended their combat role by fighting as infantrymen, sometimes even leading soldiers into battle. And yet, although forward observers lived, fought, and bled with the infantry, they were ineligible to Victory at Peleliu wear the Combat Infantryman’s Badge awarded to the riflemen they supported.

A rare glimpse at nineteenth-century European perspectives on American Indians

An Osage Journey to Europe, 1827–1830 Three French Accounts Edited and translated by William Least Heat-Moon and James K. Wallace In 1827 six Osage people—four men and two women—traveled to Europe escorted by three Americans. Their visit was big news in France, where three short publications about the travelers appeared almost immediately. Virtually lost since the 1830s, all three accounts are gathered, translated, and annotated here for the first time in English. Among the earliest writings devoted to Osage history and culture, these works provide unique insights into Osage life and especially into

William Least Heat-Moon’s introduction poignantly tells of people leaving one alien nation, the United States, to visit an even more alien culture an ocean away. In France the Osages found themselves lionized as “noble savages.” They went to the theater, rode in a hot-air balloon, and even had an audience with the king of Volume 81 in the American Exploration and France. Many Europeans ogled them as if they were exhibits in a freak show. As Travel Series the entourage moved through Belgium, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy, interest in the Osages declined.

Translated by Heat-Moon and James K. Wallace, the three featured texts are American Indian surprisingly accurate as basic descriptions of Osage history, geography, and lifeways. The French authors, influenced by racist and sexist expectations, misinterpreted some of the behaviors they describe. But they also dismiss rumors of cannibalism among the Osages and observe that “the behavior of some whites . . . was not conducive to giving the Indians a favorable opinion of white morality.”

An Osage Journey to Europe, 1827–1839 offers scholars and general readers both a compelling story and a singular glimpse into nineteenth-century cultural exchange.

Claiming Tribal Identity The Five Tribes and the Politics of Federal Acknowledgment

By Mark Edwin Miller Foreword by Chadwick Corntassel Smith Who counts as an American Indian? Which groups qualify as Indian tribes? These questions have become increasingly complex in the past several decades, and federal legislation and the rise of tribal-owned casinos have raised the stakes in the ongoing debate. In this revealing study, historian Mark Edwin Miller describes how and why dozens of previously unrecognized tribal groups in the southeastern states have sought, and sometimes won, recognition, often to the dismay of the Five Tribes—the Cherokees, Chickasaws, Choctaws, Creeks, and Seminoles.

Miller explains how politics, economics, and such slippery issues as tribal and racial identity drive the conflicts between federally recognized tribal entities like the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, and other groups such as the Southeastern

Cherokee Confederacy that also seek sovereignty. Battles over which groups can August claim authentic Indian identity are fought both within the Bureau of Indian Affairs’ $29.95s Paper 978-0-8061-4378-1 480 Pages, 6 × 9 Federal Acknowledgment Process and in Atlanta, Montgomery, and other capitals 14 b&w illus. where legislators grant state recognition to Indian-identifying enclaves without American Indian consulting federally recognized tribes with similar names.

Miller’s analysis recognizes the arguments on all sides—both the scholars Of Related Interest and activists who see tribal affiliation as an individual choice, and the tribal governments that view unrecognized tribes as fraudulent. Groups such as the Lumbees, the Lower Muscogee Creeks, and the Mowa Choctaws, inspired by the civil rights movement and the War on Poverty, have evolved in surprising ways, as have traditional tribal governments.

With A Cheyenne Voice, readers now have access to a vast ethnographic and historical trove about the Cheyenne people—much of it previously unavailable.

A Cheyenne Voice contains the complete transcribed interviews conducted by anthropologist Margot Liberty with Northern Cheyenne elder John Stands In Timber (1882–1967). Recorded by Liberty in 1956–1959 when she was a schoolteacher on the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation in southeastern Volume 270 in the Civilization of the American Indian Series Montana, the interviews were the basis of the well-known 1967 book Cheyenne Memories. While that volume is a noteworthy edited version of the interviews, this October volume presents them word for word, in their entirety, for the first time.

Drawn by American Indian Stands In Timber himself, they are reproduced here in full color.

The diverse topics that Stands In Timber addresses range from traditional stories to Of Related Interest historical events, including the battles of Sand Creek, Rosebud, and Wounded Knee. Replete with absorbing, and sometimes even humorous, details about Cheyenne tradition, warfare, ceremony, interpersonal relations, and everyday life, the interviews enliven and enrich our understanding of the Cheyenne people and their distinct history.

A comparative look at the causes that led to U.S.-Indian wars in N ichols the nineteenth century W arrior N ations

Warrior Nations The United States and Indian Peoples By Roger L. Nichols During the century following George Washington’s presidency, the United States fought at least forty wars with various Indian tribes, averaging one conflict every two and a half years. Warrior Nations is Roger L. Nichols’s response to the question, “Why did so much fighting take place?” Examining eight of the wars between the 1780s and 1877, Nichols explains what started each conflict and what the eight had in common as well as how they differed. He writes about the fights between the United States and the Shawnee, Miami, and Delaware tribes in the Ohio Valley, the Creek in Alabama, the Arikara in South Dakota, the Sauk and Fox in Illinois and Wisconsin, the Dakota Sioux in Minnesota, the Cheyenne and Arapaho in Colorado, the Apache in New Mexico and Arizona, and the Nez Perce in Oregon and Idaho.

Neither the U.S. government nor tribal leaders could prevent raids, thievery, and violence when the two groups met.

Original essays that emphasize interpretation of Native narratives for historical and cultural understanding

Transforming Ethnohistories Narrative, Meaning, and Community T ransforming E thnohistories Edited by Sebastian Felix Braun

raun B raun Afterword by Raymond J. DeMallie Anthropologists need history to understand how the past has shaped the present. Historians need anthropology to help them interpret the past. Where anthropologists’ and historians’ needs intersect is ethnohistory. The contributors to this volume have been inspired in large part by the teaching and writing of distinguished ethnohistorian Raymond J. DeMallie, whose exemplary combination of ethnographic and archival research demonstrates the ways anthropology and history can work together to create an understanding of the past and the present. Transforming Ethnohistories comprises ten new avenues of ethnohistorical research ranging in topic from fiddling performances to environmental disturbance and spanning places from North Carolina to the Yukon.

September The authors seek to understand communities by finding and interpreting $24.95s Paper 978-0-8061-4394-1 their stories in a variety of different texts, some of which lie outside academic 272 Pages, 6.125 × 9.25 6 b&w illus., 3 tables understanding and research methodology. It is exactly those stories, conventionally American Indian/U.S. History labeled “myths” or “oral tradition,” that ethnohistorians demand we pay attention to. Although historians cannot see or talk to their informants as anthropologists Of Related Interest do, both anthropologists and historians can listen to oral histories and written documents for the essential stories they contain.

The essays assembled here use DeMallie’s approach to contribute to the history and anthropology of Native North America and address issues of literary criticism and contexts, sociolinguistics, performance theory, identity and historical change, historical and anthropological methods and theory, and the interpretation of Sioux Indian Religion histories, cultures, and stories.

Explores what it means to be Yuchi today Jackson, L inn Y uchi F olklore

Yuchi Folklore

Cultural Expression in a Southeastern Native American Community By Jason Baird Jackson With contributions by Mary S. Linn In countless ways, the Yuchi (Euchee) people are unique among their fellow Oklahomans and Native peoples of North America. Inheritors of a language unrelated to any other, the Yuchi preserve a strong cultural identity. In part because they have not yet won federal recognition as a tribe, the Yuchi are largely unknown among their non-Native neighbors and often misunderstood in scholarship. Jason Baird Jackson’s Yuchi Folklore, the result of twenty years of collaboration with Yuchi people and one of just a handful of works considering their experience, brings Yuchi cultural expression to light.

Yuchi Folklore examines expressive genres and customs that have long been of special interest to Yuchi people themselves. Beginning with an overview of Yuchi Volume 272 in the Civilization of the history and ethnography, the book explores four categories of cultural expression: American Indian Series verbal or spoken art, material culture, cultural performance, and worldview. In describing oratory, food, architecture, and dance, Jackson visits and revisits the September themes of cultural persistence and social interaction, initially between Yuchi and $24.95s Paper 978-0-8061-4397-2 312 Pages, 5.5 × 8.5 other peoples east of the Mississippi and now in northeastern Oklahoma. The Yuchi 21 b&w illus., 3 maps exist in a complex, shifting relationship with the federally recognized Muscogee American Indian (Creek) Nation, with which they were removed to Indian Territory in the 1830s.

Jackson shows how Yuchi cultural forms, values, customs, and practices Of Related Interest constantly combine as Yuchi people adapt to new circumstances and everyday life. To be Yuchi today is, for example, to successfully negotiate a world where commercial rap and country music coexist with Native-language hymns and doctoring songs. While centered on Yuchi community life, this volume of essays also illustrates the discipline of folklore studies and offers perspectives for advancing a broader understanding of Woodlands peoples across the breadth of Sioux Indian Religion Tradition and Innovation the American South and East.

Literacy and Intellectual Life in the Cherokee Nation, 1820–1906 By James W. Parins Many Anglo-Americans in the nineteenth century regarded Indian tribes as little more than illiterate bands of savages in need of “civilizing.” Few were willing to recognize that one of the major Southeastern tribes targeted for removal west of the Mississippi already had an advanced civilization with its own system of writing and rich literary tradition. In Literacy and Intellectual Life in the Cherokee Nation, 1820–1906, James W. Parins traces the rise of bilingual literacy and intellectual life in the Cherokee Nation during the nineteenth century—a time of intense social and political turmoil for the tribe.

By the 1820s, Cherokees had perfected a system for writing their language—the syllabary created by Sequoyah—and in a short time taught it to virtually all their citizens. Recognizing the need to master the language of the dominant society, the Cherokee Nation also developed a superior public school system that taught Volume 58 in the American Indian Literature and Critical Studies Series students in English. The result was a literate population, most of whom could read the Cherokee Phoenix, the tribal newspaper founded in 1828 and published in both October Cherokee and English. $34.95s Cloth 978-0-8061-4399-6 296 Pages, 5.5 × 8.5 English literacy allowed Cherokee leaders to deal with the white power structure 12 b&w illus. on their own terms: Cherokees wrote legal briefs, challenged members of Congress American Indian and the executive branch, and bargained for their tribe as white interests sought to take their land and end their autonomy. In addition, many Cherokee poets, fiction Of Related Interest writers, essayists, and journalists published extensively after 1850, paving the way for the rich literary tradition that the nation preserves and fosters today.

Literary and Intellectual Life in the Cherokee Nation, 1820–1906 takes a fascinating look at how literacy served to unite Cherokees during a critical moment in their national history, and advances our understanding of how literacy has functioned as a tool of sovereignty among Native peoples, both historically and Cherokee Syllabary Writing the People’s Perseverance today.

Patch 1670 -1810 The history of relations between the Spanish and the Indians of colonial Central America, often oversimplified as a story of unending Spanish abuse, forms a complicated tapestry of economics and politics. Robert W. Patch’s even-handed study of the repartimiento de mercancías—the commercial dealings between regional magistrates and the people under their jurisdiction—reveals the inner workings of colonialism in Central America.

Indians were at the heart of the colonial economy. They made up the majority of Robert W. Patch the population, produced most of the goods, and performed most of the labor. The bureaucrats who ruled over them were badly paid, and to increase their income, they carried out illegal business activities with the Indians and sometimes even

Patch’s case studies of highland Guatemala and Nicaragua reveal how the system worked at the regional and local levels. These studies manifest not only the profits to be made through repartimientos but also the problems faced by magistrates as they tried to be government officials and businessmen at the same time.

Swezey Guatemala emerged from the clash between Spanish invaders and Maya cultures that began five centuries ago. The conquest of these “rich and strange lands,” as Hernán Cortés called them, and their “many different peoples” was brutal and prolonged. “Strange Lands and Different Peoples” examines the myriad ramifications of Spanish intrusion, especially Maya resistance to it and the changes that took place in native life because of it.

The studies assembled here, focusing on the first century of colonial rule (1524– 1624), discuss issues of conquest and resistance, settlement and colonization, labor and tribute, and Maya survival in the wake of Spanish invasion. The authors reappraise the complex relationship between Spaniards and Indians, which was Volume 271 in the Civilization of the marked from the outset by mutual feelings of resentment and mistrust.

The Mixtecs of Oaxaca Ancient Times to the Present By Ronald Spores and Andrew K. Balkansky The Mixtec peoples were among the major original developers of Mesoamerican S pores, B alkansky T he M i x tecs of O civilization. Centuries before the Spanish Conquest, they formed literate urban states and maintained a uniquely innovative technology and flourishing economy. Today, thousands of Mixtecs still live in Oaxaca, in present-day southern Mexico, and thousands more have migrated to locations throughout Mexico, the United States, and Canada. In this comprehensive survey, Ronald Spores and Andrew K. Balkansky—both preeminent scholars of Mixtec civilization—synthesize a wealth of archaeological, historical, and ethnographic data to trace the emergence and evolution of Mixtec civilization from the time of earliest human occupation to the present.

The Mixtec region has been the focus of much recent archaeological and ethnohistorical activity. In this volume, Spores and Balkansky incorporate the latest Volume 267 in the Civilization of the available research to show that the Mixtecs, along with their neighbors the Valley American Indian Series and Sierra Zapotec, constitute one of the world’s most impressive civilizations, antecedent to—and equivalent to—those of the better-known Maya and Aztec.

A natural history of the genus Graptemys L in d eman and S T he M ap urtle

The Map Turtle and Sawback Atlas Ecology, Evolution, Distribution, and Conservation awback A By Peter V. Lindeman Covering all facets of the biology of a little-known genus, Peter V. Lindeman’s lavishly illustrated Map Turtle and Sawback Atlas is both a scientific treatise and an tlas engaging introduction to a striking group of turtles.

Map turtles and sawbacks, found in and along rivers from Texas to Florida and north to the Great Lakes, fascinate ecologists and evolutionary biologists. Over a short geologic time span, these turtles achieved exceptional biological diversification. Their diets are also exceptionally diverse, and a significant difference in size distinguishes males from females. Adult males are typically half or less the shell length of adult females, making map turtles and sawbacks the champions of sexual dimorphism among not only turtles but all four-legged vertebrates.

Aesthetics also draw biologists and hobbyists to map turtles and sawbacks. While Volume 12 in the Animal Natural History the male Sabine map turtle may look to some like a “pencil-necked geek,” as the Series author puts it, markings on the shell, limbs, head, and neck make map turtles among the most attractive turtles on earth. Sawbacks feature a striking ridge December down their shell. Few turtles show themselves off to such advantage.

Custer and the 1873 Yellowstone Survey A Documentary History Edited by M. John Lubetkin Progress on the nation’s second transcontinental railroad slowed in 1873. The Northern Pacific’s proposed middle—the 250 miles between present Billings and Glendive, Montana—had yet to be surveyed, and Sioux and Cheyenne Indians opposed construction through the Yellowstone Valley, the heart of their hunting grounds. A previous surveying expedition along the Yellowstone River in 1872 had resulted in the death of a prominent member of the party, the near-death of the railroad’s chief engineer, the embarrassment of the U.S. Army, and a public relations and financial disaster for the Northern Pacific.

Unique historic and literary profiles of three nineteenth-century

torm Chickasaw governors

R iding O ut the S Riding Out the Storm 19th Century Chickasaw Governors; organ M organ Their Lives and Intellectual Legacy By Phillip Carroll Morgan Riding Out the Storm: 19th-Century Chickasaw Governors; Their Lives and Intellectual Legacy profiles the lives of three nineteenth-century Chickasaw governors—Cyrus Harris, Winchester Colbert, and William L. Byrd. Revealing the three leaders not merely as historic politicians, but as human beings, Phillip Carroll Morgan portrays their personal and political lives against literary backdrops relating directly to their experiences—Cyrus Harris with his northern Mississippi neighbors, the Faulkners; Civil War governor Winchester Colbert with Native American literature about war; and William L. Byrd with his great-grandniece Jodi A. Byrd’s twenty-first-century indigenous critiques of colonialism.

The tenures of these governors span the period from the reorganization of the post-

October Removal Chickasaw Nation as a republic in 1856 until 1892, the end of William $20.00s Cloth 978-1-935684-10-7 Byrd’s second term. Featuring historic photographs from the Chickasaw archives, 200 Pages, 6 × 9 16 b&w illus. Riding Out the Storm illustrates the intellectual history of the Chickasaws, offering American Indian/Biography new views on the rich legacy of the tribe’s mythos and personalities in northern Mississippi and the Civil War in Indian Territory. It also examines the constant siege by settlers and entrepreneurs on the Chickasaws and their lands, leading to the Dawes Act of 1887, or General Allotment Act—the heart of a strategy meant to break up American Indian nations once and for all.

Phillip Carroll Morgan, senior staff writer at Chickasaw Press, holds a master’s degree and a doctorate in Native American literature from the University of Oklahoma. He is the author of Chickasaw Renaissance and coauthor (with Judy Goforth Parker) of Dynamic Chickasaw Women, which won the Independent Publishers Book Awards’ Gold Medal for Mid-West Regional Non-fiction in 2012. Morgan also wrote The Fork-in-the-Road Indian Poetry Store, which won the Native Writers Circle of the Americas’ First Book Award for Poetry in 2002, and he is a coauthor of Reasoning Together: The Native Critics Collective, published by the University of Oklahoma Press in 2008.

Acclaimed author Linda Hogan’s reflections on her life and her H ogan

Chickasaw heritage T he R emedies

The Remedies By Linda Hogan In The Remedies, internationally acclaimed author Linda Hogan has assembled writings selected from a quarter-century of “one Chickasaw woman’s life.” As her first collection focusing specifically on her Chickasaw heritage, The Remedies reminds us through Hogan’s poetry and essays that “one life and its memory is a part of a tribe’s story.”

Invoking powerful imagery, moving lyricism, and illuminating detail, Hogan does indeed share a significant and timeless Chickasaw story. It is a story of generations past and those yet to come—a story of vulnerability and strength, of hope, healing, and humanity, and ultimately a story of remedies. As Hogan asks, “What else is writing if not a remedy?”

A poet, novelist, essayist, playwright, teacher, and activist, Linda Hogan has spent most of her life in Oklahoma and Colorado. As a volunteer and consultant for wildlife rehabilitation and endangered-species programs, Hogan has published October essays for the Nature Conservancy and the Sierra Club. Her books have received $20.00 Cloth 978-1-935684-12-1 numerous awards, including the American Book Award. 200 Pages, 6 × 9 24 b&w illus. Linda Hogan, a renowned Chickasaw poet, novelist, essayist, playwright, speaker, American Indian/Poetry educator, and activist, served as a professor at the University of Colorado and is currently Writer in Residence for the Chickasaw Nation. Her 1990 novel, Mean Spirit, and poetry collection Rounding the Human Corners were considered as finalists for Pulitzer Prizes. Among the many honors garnered by Hogan’s books are the Oklahoma Book Award, the Colorado Book Award, an American Book Award, and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Native Writers Circle of the Americas. In addition to works offered through major publishing houses, Hogan also coauthored Chickasaw Press’s inaugural publication in 2006, Chickasaw: Unconquered and Unconquerable. In 2007 the Chickasaw Nation inducted Linda Hogan into its Hall of Fame.
