A fresh look at the real Martha Canary ETULAIN and the legends of Calamity Jane THE LIFE AND LEGENDS OF CALAMITY JANE THE LIFE AND LEGENDS OF CALAMITY

The Life and Legends of Calamity Jane By Richard W. Etulain Everyone knows the name Calamity Jane. Scores of dime novels and movie and TV Westerns have portrayed this original Wild West woman as an adventuresome, gun- toting hellion. Although Calamity Jane has probably been written about more than any other woman of the nineteenth-century American West, fiction and legend have largely obscured the facts of her life. This lively, concise, and exhaustively researched biography traces the real person from the Missouri farm where she was born in 1856 through the development of her notorious persona as a Wild West heroine.

Before Calamity Jane became a legend, she was Martha Canary, orphaned when she was only eleven years old. From a young age she traveled fearlessly, worked with men, smoked, chewed tobacco, and drank. By the time she arrived in the boomtown of Deadwood, South Dakota, in 1876, she had become Calamity Jane, and the real Martha Canary had disappeared under a landslide of purple prose. VOLUME 29 IN THE OKLAHOMA Calamity became a hostess and dancer in Deadwood’s saloons and theaters. She WESTERN BIOGRAPHIES SERIES imbibed heavily, and she might have been a prostitute, but she had other qualities, as well, including those of an angel of mercy who ministered to the sick and the SEPTEMBER down-and-out.

In the second half of the book, Etulain traces the stories that have shaped Calamity Jane’s reputation. Some Calamity portraits, he says, suggest that she aspired to a quiet life with a husband and family. As the 2004–2006 HBO series Deadwood makes clear, well more than a century after her first appearance as a heroine in the Deadwood Dick dime novels, Calamity Jane lives on—raunchy, CALAMITY JANE unabashed, contradictory, and ambiguous as ever.

The courageous woman who fought to integrate the University of Oklahoma Law School

A STEP TOWARD BROWN BROWN A STEP TOWARD A Step toward Brown v. Board of Education Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher and Her Fight to End Segregation WATTLEY WATTLEY By Cheryl Elizabeth Brown Wattley In 1946 a young woman named Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher (1924–1995) was denied admission to the University of Oklahoma College of Law because she was African American. The OU law school was an all-white institution in a town where African Americans could work and shop as long as they got out before sundown. But if segregation was entrenched in Norman, so was the determination of black Oklahomans who had survived slavery to stake a claim in the territory. This was the tradition that Ada Lois Sipuel sprang from, a tradition and determination that would sustain her through the slow, tortuous path of litigation to gaining admission to law school. A Step toward Brown v. Board of Education—the first book to tell Fisher’s full story—is at once an inspiring biography and a remarkable chapter in the history of race and civil rights in America.

Father of Route 66 The Story of Cy Avery By Susan Croce Kelly If it weren’t for Cy Avery’s dreams of better roads through his beloved Tulsa, the United States would never have gotten Route 66. This book is the story of Avery, his times, and the legendary highway he helped build.

In this engaging biography of a remarkable man, author Susan Croce Kelly begins by describing the urgency for “good roads” that gripped the nation in the early twentieth century as cars multiplied and mud deepened. Avery was one of a small cadre of men and women whose passion carried the Good Roads movement from boosterism to political influence to concrete-on-the-ground. While most stopped there, Avery went on to assure that one road—U.S. Highway 66—became a fixture in the imagination of America and the world.

A western writer’s guide to the best fiction on the American West

THE WISTER TRACE THE WISTER TRACE The Wister Trace ESTLEMAN Assaying Classic Western Fiction Second Edition By Loren D. Estleman A master practitioner’s view of his craft, this classic survey of the fiction of the American West is part literary history, part criticism, and entertaining throughout. The first edition of The Wister Trace was published in 1987, when Larry McMurtry had just reinvented himself as a writer of Westerns and Cormac McCarthy’s career had not yet taken off. Loren D. Estleman’s long-overdue update connects these new masters with older writers, assesses the genre’s past, present, and future, and takes account of the renaissance of western movies, as well.

Estleman’s title indicates the importance he assigns Owen Wister’s 1902 classic, The Virginian. Wister was not the first writer of Westerns, but he defined the genre, contrasting chivalry with the lawlessness of the border and introducing such lines OCTOBER as “When you call me that, smile!” Estleman tips his hat to Wister’s predecessors, $19.95 PAPER 978-0-8061-4481-8 240 PAGES, 5.5 × 8.5 among them Ned Buntline, the inventor of the dime novel, and Buffalo Bill.

Especially important in this new edition is the attention to women writers. The author devotes a chapter each to Dorothy Johnson—author of “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance”—and Annie Proulx, whose Wyoming stories include “Brokeback Mountain.” In his discussion of movies, Estleman includes a list of film adaptations that will guide readers to movies, and moviegoers to books.

A definitive history that shears away the LONGACRE myths about First Bull Run THE EARLY MORNING OF WAR

The Early Morning of War Bull Run, 1861 By Edward G. Longacre When Union and Confederate forces squared off along Bull Run on July 21, 1861, the Federals expected this first major military campaign would bring an early end to the Civil War. But when Confederate troops launched a strong counterattack, both sides realized the war would be longer and costlier than anticipated. First Bull Run, or First Manassas, set the stage for four years of bloody conflict that forever changed the political, social, and economic fabric of the nation. It also introduced the commanders, tactics, and weaponry that would define the American way of war through the turn of the twentieth century.

This crucial campaign receives its most complete and comprehensive treatment in Edward G. Longacre’s The Early Morning of War. A magisterial work by a veteran historian, The Early Morning of War blends narrative and analysis to convey the VOLUME 46 IN THE CAMPAIGNS full scope of the campaign of First Bull Run—its drama and suspense as well as its AND COMMANDERS SERIES practical and tactical underpinnings and ramifications.

Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca American Trailblazer By Robin Varnum In November 1528, almost a century before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, the remnants of a Spanish expedition reached the Gulf Coast of Texas. By July 1536, eight years later, Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca (c. 1490–1559) and three other survivors had walked 2,500 miles from Texas, across northern Mexico, to Sonora and ultimately to Mexico City.

But his career did not begin and end with his North American ordeal. Robin Varnum’s biography, the first single-volume cradle-to-grave account of the explorer’s life in eighty years, tells the rest of the story.

During Cabeza de Vaca’s peregrinations through the American Southwest, he lived among and interacted with various Indian groups. When he and his non-

Chronicles a series of unexpected explosions at Pearl SALECKER Harbor on the eve of the Saipan invasion THE SECOND PEARL HARBOR

The Second Pearl Harbor The West Loch Disaster, May 21, 1944 By Gene Salecker In May 1944, with American forces closing in on the Japanese mainland, the Fifth Fleet Amphibious Force was preparing to invade Saipan. Control of this island would put enemy cities squarely within range of the B-29 bomber. The navy had assembled a fleet of landing ship tanks (LSTs) in the West Loch section of Pearl Harbor. On May 21, an explosion tore through the calm afternoon sky, spreading fire and chaos through the ordnance-packed vessels. When the fires had been brought under control, six LSTs had been lost, many others were badly damaged, and more than 500 military personnel had been killed or injured. To ensure the success of those still able to depart for the invasion—miraculously, only one day late—the navy at once issued a censorship order, which has kept this disaster from public scrutiny for seventy years.

A revisionary approach to King Philip’s War— and how one colony persevered

CONNECTICUT UNSCATHED CONNECTICUT UNSCATHED Connecticut Unscathed Victory in the Great Narragansett War, 1675–1676

WARREN WARREN By Jason W. Warren The conflict that historians have called King Philip’s War still ranks as one of the bloodiest per capita in American history. An Indian coalition ravaged much of New England, killing six hundred colonial fighting men (not including their Indian allies), obliterating seventeen white towns, and damaging more than fifty settlements. The version of these events that has come down to us focuses on Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay—the colonies whose commentators dominated the storytelling. But because Connecticut lacked a chronicler, its experience has gone largely untold. As Jason W. Warren makes clear in Connecticut Unscathed, this imbalance has generated an incomplete narrative of the war.

Dubbed King Philip’s War after the Wampanoag architect of the hostilities, the conflict, Warren asserts, should more properly be called the Great Narragansett VOLUME 45 IN THE CAMPAIGNS AND COMMANDERS SERIES War, broadening its context in time and place and indicating the critical role of the Narragansetts, the largest tribe in southern New England. With this perspective,

And when Connecticut became the primary target of hostile Indian forces—especially the powerful Narragansetts—the colony’s military prowess and its enlightened treatment of Indians allowed it to persevere.

Brings to life a doubly desperate battle against SPURGEON Confederate forces and within Union ranks SOLDIERS IN THE ARMY OF FREEDOM

Soldiers in the Army of Freedom The 1st Kansas Colored, the Civil War’s First African American Combat Unit By Ian Michael Spurgeon It was 1862, the second year of the Civil War, though Kansans and Missourians had been fighting over slavery for almost a decade. For the 250 Union soldiers facing down rebel irregulars on Enoch Toothman’s farm near Butler, Missouri, this was no battle over abstract principles. These were men of the First Kansas Colored Infantry, and they were fighting for their own freedom and that of their families. They belonged to the first black regiment raised in a northern state, and the first black unit to see combat during the Civil War. Soldiers in the Army of Freedom is the first published account of this largely forgotten regiment and, in particular, its contribution to Union victory in the trans-Mississippi theater of the Civil War. As such, it restores the First Kansas Colored Infantry to its rightful place in American history.

A Corporal’s Story Civil War Recollections of the Twelfth Massachusetts By George Kimball

A CORPORAL’S STORY STORY GAFF A CORPORAL’S KIMBALL, GAFF, Edited by Alan D. Gaff and Donald H. Gaff When George Kimball (1840–1916) joined the Twelfth Massachusetts in 1861, he’d been in the newspaper trade for five years. When he mustered out three years later, having been wounded at Fredericksburg and again at Gettysburg (mortally, it was mistakenly assumed at the time), he returned to newspaper life. There he remained, working for the Boston Journal for the next four decades. A natural storyteller, Kimball wrote often about his military service, always with a newspaperman’s eye for detail and respect for the facts, relating only what he’d witnessed firsthand and recalled with remarkable clarity. Collected in A Corporal’s Story, Kimball’s writings form a unique narrative of one man’s experience in the Civil War, viewed through a perspective enhanced by time and reflection.

Aware that his readers Of Related Interest might not be familiar with what he and comrades had gone through, he also describes many aspects of army life, from the most mundane to the most dramatic. In his accounts of the desperate action and immediate horrors of war, Kimball clearly conveys to readers the cost of preserving the Union. Never vindictive toward Confederates, he embodies instead the late nineteenth-century’s spirit of reconciliation.

The experiences of women in the conflict ESDAILE between Spain and Napoleonic France WOMEN IN THE PENINSULAR WAR

Women in the Peninsular War By Charles J. Esdaile In the iconography of the Peninsular War of 1808–14, women are well represented—both as heroines, such as Agustina Zaragosa Domenech, and as victims, whether of starvation or of French brutality. In history, however, with its focus on high politics and military operations, they are invisible—a situation that Charles J. Esdaile seeks to address.

In Women in the Peninsular War, Esdaile looks beyond the iconography. While a handful of Spanish and Portuguese women became Agustina-like heroines, a multitude became victims, and here both of these groups receive their due. But Esdaile reveals a much more complicated picture in which women are discovered to have experienced, responded to, and participated in the conflict in various ways. While some women fought or otherwise became involved in the struggle against the invaders, others turned collaborator, used the war as a means of effecting dramatic changes in their situation, or simply concentrated on staying alive. Along with AUGUST Agustina Zaragoza Domenech, then, we meet French sympathizers, campfollowers, $39.95s CLOTH 978-0-8061-4478-8 pamphleteers, cross-dressers, prostitutes, amorous party girls, and even a few 336 PAGES, 6 × 9 MILITARY HISTORY protofeminists.

Esdaile examines many social spheres, ranging from the pampered daughters of the Of Related Interest nobility, through the cloistered members of Spain’s many convents, to the tough and defiant denizens of the Madrid slums. And we meet not just the women to whom the war came but also the women who came to the war—the many thousands who accompanied the British and French armies to the Iberian peninsula. Thanks to his use of copious original source material, Esdaile rescues one and all from, as E. P. Thompson put it, “the enormous condescension of posterity.” And yet all OUTPOST OF EMPIRE these women remain firmly in their historical and cultural context, a context that The Napoleonic Occupation of Andalucia, 1810–1812 Esdaile shows to have emerged from the Peninsular War hardly changed.

How Americans used stories of Indian captivity to redefine the nation as the frontier disappeared

AMERICANS RECAPTURED AMERICANS RECAPTURED Americans Recaptured

VARLEY VARLEY Progressive Era Memory of Frontier Captivity By Molly K. Varley It was on the frontier, where “civilized” men and women confronted the “wilderness,” that Europeans first became Americans—or so authorities from Frederick Jackson Turner to Theodore Roosevelt claimed. But as the frontier disappeared, Americans believed they needed a new mechanism for fixing their collective identity; and they found it, historian Molly K. Varley suggests, in tales of white Americans held captive by Indians.

For Americans in the Progressive Era (1890–1916) these stories of Indian captivity seemed to prove that the violence of national expansion had been justified, that citizens’ individual suffering had been heroic, and that settlers’ contact with Indians and wilderness still characterized the nation’s “soul.” Furthermore, in the act of memorializing white Indian captives—through statues, parks, and reissued OCTOBER narratives—small towns found a way of inscribing themselves into the national story. $34.95s CLOTH 978-0-8061-4493-1 240 PAGES, 5.5 × 8.5 By drawing out the connections between actual captivity, captivity narratives, and AMERICAN INDIAN/LITERATURE the memorializing of white captives, Varley shows how Indian captivity became a means for Progressive Era Americans to look forward by looking back. Local Of Related Interest boosters and cultural commentators used Indian captivity to define “Americanism” and to renew those frontier qualities deemed vital to the survival of the nation in the post-frontier world, such as individualism, bravery, ingenuity, enthusiasm, “manliness,” and patriotism. In Varley’s analysis of the Progressive Era mentality, contact between white captives and Indians represented a stage in the evolution of a new American people and affirmed the contemporary notion of America as a

A standard-setting work on California Indian PHILLIPS history, updated and with six new chapters CHIEFS AND CHALLENGERS

Chiefs and Challengers Indian Resistance and Cooperation in Southern California, 1769–1906 Second Edition By George Harwood Phillips Long recognized as a pioneering work in the ethnohistory of California, Chiefs and Challengers, when it first appeared, overturned the stereotype of Indian victimhood and revealed a complex political landscape in which Native peoples interacted with one another as much as they did with non-Indians intruding into their territories. Although historian George Harwood Phillips did not shy away from chronicling the mistreatment of Indians, he moved beyond that approach to examine Indian-white interactions from both Indian and white perspectives. This new edition describes the indigenous cultures of southern California and offers a detailed history of the repercussions of Euro-American colonization. AUGUST $26.95s PAPER 978-0-8061-4490-0 Because there was no geographical frontier in California separating Indians and 384 PAGES, 6.125 × 9.25 whites, the interaction varied significantly from region to region in California.

In this second edition of Chiefs and Challengers, Phillips brings the story into the twentieth century by drawing upon recent historical and anthropological scholarship and upon seldom-used documentary evidence. After 1865, Indians faced new problems, including settler encroachment and the imposition of the reservation system. That some Indians succeeded in holding onto their ancestral VINEYARDS AND VAQUEROS lands, Phillips shows, is evidence of their strategic efforts to survive.

Reveals how Indigenous women poets transcend national MCGLENNEN and colonial boundaries to fashion global dialogues CREATIVE ALLIANCES

Creative Alliances The Transnational Designs of Indigenous Women’s Poetry By Molly McGlennen Tribal histories suggest that Indigenous peoples from many different nations continually allied themselves for purposes of fortitude, mental and physical health, and creative affiliations. Such alliance building, Molly McGlennen tells us, continues in the poetry of Indigenous women, who use the genre to transcend national and colonial boundaries and to fashion global dialogues across a spectrum of experiences and ideas.

One of the first books to focus exclusively on Indigenous women’s poetry, Creative Alliances fills a critical gap in the study of Native American literature. McGlennen, herself an Indigenous poet-critic, traces the meanings of gender and genre as they resonate beyond nationalist paradigms to forge transnational forms of both resistance and alliance among Indigenous women in the twenty-first century. VOLUME 62 IN THE AMERICAN INDIAN McGlennen considers celebrated Native poets such as Kimberly Blaeser, Ester LITERATURE AND CRITICAL STUDIES SERIES Belin, Diane Glancy, and Luci Tapahonso, but she also takes up lesser-known poets who circulate their work through social media, spoken-word events, and other AUGUST $24.95s PAPER 978-0-8061-4482-5 “nonliterary” forums.

In the literary spaces of anthologies and collections and across social media and spoken-word events, Indigenous women poets are mapping cooperative alliances.

An argument for broader conceptions of American Indian identity in literature

PROGRESSIVE TRADITIONS TRADITIONS PROGRESSIVE Progressive Traditions Identity in Cherokee Literature and Culture NELSON By Joshua B. Nelson According to a dichotomy commonly found in studies of American Indians, some noble Native people defiantly defend their pristine indigenous traditions in honor of their ancestors, while others in weakness or greed surrender their culture and identities to white American economies and institutions. This traditionalist-versus- assimilationist divide is, Joshua B. Nelson argues, a false one. To make his case that American Indians rarely if ever conform to such simplistic identifications, Nelson considers the literature and culture of many Cherokee people.

Exploring a range of linked cultural practices and beliefs through the works of Cherokee thinkers and writers from the nineteenth century to today, Nelson finds ample evidence that tradition can survive through times of radical change: Cherokees do their cultural work both in progressively traditional and traditionally VOLUME 61 IN THE AMERICAN INDIAN LITERATURE AND CRITICAL STUDIES SERIES progressive ways. Studying individuals previously deemed either “traditional” or “assimilationist,” Nelson presents a more nuanced interpretation. Among the works

An invaluable resource for anyone interested in Fort Worth or urban history and development FORT WORTH FORT WORTH RICH Fort Worth Outpost, Cowtown, Boomtown By Harold Rich From its beginnings as an army camp in the 1840s, Fort Worth has come to be one of Texas’s—and the nation’s—largest cities, a thriving center of culture and commerce. But along the way, the city’s future, let alone its present prosperity, was anything but certain. Fort Worth tells the story of how this landlocked outpost on the arid plains of Texas made and remade itself in its early years, setting a pattern of boom-and-bust progress that would see the city through to the twenty-first century.

Harold Rich takes up the story in 1880, when Fort Worth found itself in the crosshairs of history as the cattle drives that had been such an economic boon became a thing of the past. He explores the hard-fought struggle that followed— with its many stops, failures, missteps, and successes—beginning with a single- minded commitment to attracting railroads.

MANIFEST DESTINATIONS MANIFEST DESTINATIONS Manifest Destinations

GRUEN GRUEN Cities and Tourists in the Nineteenth-Century American West By J. Philip Gruen Tourists started visiting the American West in sizable numbers after the Union Pacific and Central Pacific Railroads were completed in 1869. Contemporary travel brochures and guidebooks of the 1870s sold tourists on the spectacular scenery of the West, and depicted its cities as extensions of the natural landscape—as well as places where efficient business operations and architectural grandeur prevailed—all now easily accessible thanks to the relative comfort of transcontinental rail travel. Yet as people flocked to western cities, it was the everyday life that captured their interest—the new technologies, incessant clatter, and all the upheaval of modern metropolises.

In Manifest Destinations, J. Philip Gruen examines the ways in which tourists experienced Chicago, Denver, Salt Lake City, and San Francisco between 1869 SEPTEMBER $29.95s CLOTH 978-0-8061-4488-7 and 1893, a period of rapid urbanization and accelerated modernity.

The story of banking in the Sooner State HIGHTOWER through the twentieth century BANKING IN OKLAHOMA, 1907–2000BANKING IN OKLAHOMA,

Banking in Oklahoma, 1907–2000 By Michael J. Hightower Foreword by Frank Keating The story of banking in twentieth-century Oklahoma is also the story of the Sooner State’s first hundred years, as Michael J. Hightower’s new book demonstrates. Oklahoma statehood coincided with the Panic of 1907, and both events signaled seismic shifts in state banking practices. Much as Oklahoma banks shed their frontier persona to become more tightly integrated in the national economy, so too was decentralized banking revealed as an anachronism, utterly unsuited to an increasingly global economy. With creation of the Federal Reserve System in 1913 and subsequent choice of Oklahoma City as the location for a branch bank, frontier banking began yielding to systems commensurate with the needs of the new century.

Through meticulous research and personal interviews with bankers statewide, Hightower has crafted a compelling narrative of Oklahoma banking in the twentieth century. One of the first acts of the new state legislature was to guarantee SEPTEMBER that depositors in state-chartered banks would never lose a penny. Meanwhile, land $29.95s CLOTH 978-0-8061-4495-5 376 PAGES, 6.125 × 9.25 and oil speculators and the bankers who funded their dreams were elevating get- 21 B&W ILLUS. rich-quick (and often get-poor-quick) schemes to an art form.

Tells the long overdue story of Spokane’s black community BLACK SPOKANE SPOKANE BLACK Black Spokane MACK MACK The Civil Rights Struggle in the Inland Northwest By Dwayne A. Mack In 1981, decades before mainstream America elected Barack Obama, James Chase became the first African American mayor of Spokane, Washington, with the overwhelming support of a majority-white electorate. Chase’s win failed to capture the attention of historians—as had the century-long evolution of the black community in Spokane. In Black Spokane: The Civil Rights Struggle in the Inland Northwest, Dwayne A. Mack corrects this oversight—and recovers a crucial chapter in the history of race relations and civil rights in America.

As early as the 1880s, Spokane was a destination for black settlers escaping the racial oppression in the South—settlers who over the following decades built an infrastructure of churches, businesses, and social organizations to serve the black VOLUME 8 IN THE RACE AND CULTURE community.

An accessible and colloquial presentation of syntax, with MCMENOMY abundant examples from English, Latin, and Greek SYNTACTICAL MECHANICS

Syntactical Mechanics A New Approach to English, Latin, and Greek By Bruce A. McMenomy Syntax, Bruce McMenomy would like the beleaguered student to know, is not a collection of inconsistent and arbitrary rules, but rather an organic expression of meaning that evolved over time. Aimed at intermediate and advanced students of classical languages, this book shows how understanding grammatical concepts as channels for meaning makes learning them that much easier and, in a word, natural.

Syntactical Mechanics systematically defines the basic categories of traditional grammar (parts of speech, subjects and predicates, and types of sentences and subordinate clauses), and then unpacks the most important syntactical structures and markings that shape meaning in a sentence.
