A new biography of a nineteenth-century colossus ALEXANDER

BRIGHAM YOUNG AND THE EXPANSION OF THE MORMON FAITH

Brigham Young and the Expansion of the Mormon Faith By Thomas G. Alexander As president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Utah’s first territorial governor, Brigham Young (1801–77) shaped a religion, a migration, and the American West. He led the Saints to Utah, guided the establishment of 350 settlements, and inspired the Mormons as they weathered unimaginable trials and hardships. Although he generally succeeded, some decisions, especially those regarding the Mormon Reformation and the Black Hawk War, were less than sound. In this new biography, historian Thomas G. Alexander draws on a lifetime of research to provide an evenhanded view of Young and his leadership.

Following the murder in 1844 of church founder Joseph Smith, Young bore a heavy responsibility: ensuring the survival and expansion of the church and its people. Alexander focuses on Young’s leadership, his financial dealings, his relations with VOLUME 31 IN THE OKLAHOMA non-Mormons, his families, and his own deep religious faith. Brigham Young and WESTERN BIOGRAPHIES the Expansion of the Mormon Faith addresses such controversial issues as the practice of polygamy (Young himself had fifty-five wives), relations and conflicts MAY between Mormons and Indians, and the circumstances and aftermath of the horrific $29.95 CLOTH 978-0-8061-6277-5 344 PAGES, 5.5 X 8.5 events of Mountain Meadows in 1857. Although Young might have done better, 28 B&W ILLUS., 3 MAPS Alexander argues that he bore no direct responsibility for the tragedy. BIOGRAPHY/U.S. HISTORY

Young relied on the counsel of his associates, and at times, the Mormon people Of Related Interest pushed back to prevent him from implementing changes. In some cases, such as the doctrine of blood atonement, the church leadership eventually rejected his views. Yet on the whole, Brigham Young emerges as a multifaceted human figure, and as a prophet revered by millions of LDS members, an inspired leader who successfully led his people to a distant land where their community expanded and flourished.

Thomas G. Alexander is Lemuel Hardison Redd Jr. Professor Emeritus of Western THE MOUNTAIN MEADOWS MASSACRE American History at Brigham Young University and the author of numerous articles By Juanita Brooks and books on Mormon history and the American West, including Mormonism in $19.95 Paper 978-0-8061-2318-9 Transition: A History of the Latter-day Saints, 1890–1930 and Things in Heaven MORMONS AT THE MISSOURI Winter Quarters, 1846–1852 and Earth: The Life and Times of Wilford Woodruff, a Mormon Prophet.

An all-new history of the Mormon overland trek to Zion MOULTON

THE MORMON HANDCART MIGRATIONTHE MORMON HANDCART

The Mormon Handcart Migration “Tounge nor pen can never tell the sorrow” By Candy Moulton In 1856 the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints employed a new means of getting converts to Great Salt Lake City who could not afford the journey otherwise. They began using handcarts, thus initiating a five-year experiment that has become a legend in the annals of Mormon and North American migration. Only one in ten Mormon emigrants used handcarts, but of those 3,000 who did between 1856 and 1860, most survived the harrowing journey to settle Utah and become members of a remarkable pioneer generation. Others were not so lucky. More than 200 died along the way, victims of exhaustion, accident, and, for a few, starvation and exposure to late-season blizzards. Now, Candy Moulton tells of their successes, travails, and tragedies in an epic retelling of a legendary story.

The Mormon Handcart Migration traces each stage of the journey, from the transatlantic voyage of newly converted church members to the gathering of the APRIL faithful in the eastern encampment known as Winter Quarters. She then $29.95 CLOTH 978-0-8061-6261-4 296 PAGES, 6 X 9 traces their trek from the western Great Plains, across modern-day Wyoming, 31 B&W ILLUS., 3 MAPS to their final destination at Great Salt Lake.

The LDS church now embraces the saga of the handcart emigrants—including even the disaster that befell the Martin and Willie handcart companies in central Wyoming in 1856—as an educational, faith-inspiring experience for thousands of youth each year. Moulton skillfully weaves together scores of firsthand accounts from the journals, letters, diaries, reminiscences, and autobiographies the handcart SO RUGGED AND MOUNTAINOUS Blazing the Trails to Oregon and California, 1812–1848 pioneers left behind.

POLITICAL HELL-RAISER POLITICAL HELL-RAISER Political Hell-Raiser

JOHNSON The Life and Times of Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana By Marc C. Johnson Burton K. Wheeler (1882-1975) may have been the most powerful politician Montana ever produced, and he was one of the most influential—and controversial—members of the Senate during three of the most eventful decades in American history. A New Deal Democrat and lifelong opponent of concentrated power—whether economic, military, or executive—he consistently acted with a righteous personal and political independence that has all but disappeared from the public sphere. Political Hell-Raiser is the first book to tell the full story of Wheeler, a genuine maverick whose successes and failures were woven into the political fabric of twentieth-century America.

Wheeler came of political age amid antiwar and labor unrest in Butte, Montana, during World War I. As a crusading United States attorney, he battled Montana’s MARCH powerful economic interests, championed farmers and miners, and won election $34.95 CLOTH 978-0-8061-4085-8 to the U.S. Senate in 1922. There he made his name as one of the “Montana 496 PAGES, 6.125 X 9.25 31 B&W ILLUS. scandalmongers,” uncovering corruption in the Harding and Coolidge admin- BIOGRAPHY/U.S. HISTORY istrations. Drawing on extensive research and new archival sources, Marc C. Johnson follows Wheeler from his early backing of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Of Related Interest ardent support of the New Deal to his forceful opposition to Roosevelt’s plan to expand the Supreme Court and, in a move widely viewed as political suicide, his emergence as the most prominent spokesman against U.S. involvement in World War II right up to three days before Pearl Harbor.

Johnson provides the most thorough telling of Wheeler’s entire career, including all its accomplishments and contradictions, as well as the political storms that the ALFALFA BILL senator both encouraged and endured. The book convincingly establishes the place A Life in Politics By Robert Dorman and importance of this principled hell-raiser in American political history.

Traces a crucial turning point for the HARRIS, SADLER THE TEXAS RANGERS IN TRANSITION famed law enforcement agency

The Texas Rangers in Transition From Gunfighters to Criminal Investigators, 1921–1935 By Charles H. Harris III and Louis R. Sadler Newly rich in oil money, and all the trouble it could buy, Texas in the years following World War I underwent momentous changes—and those changes propelled the transformation of the state’s storied Rangers. Charles H. Harris III and Louis R. Sadler explore this important but relatively neglected period in the Texas Rangers’ history in this book, a sequel to their award-winning The Texas Rangers and the Mexican Revolution: The Bloodiest Decade, 1910–1920.

In a Texas awash in booze and oil in the Prohibition years, the Rangers found themselves riding herd on gamblers and bootleggers, but also tasked with everything from catching murderers to preventing circus performances on Sunday. The Texas Rangers in Transition takes up the Rangers’ story at a time of political turmoil, as the largely rural state was rapidly becoming urban.

The first comprehensive biography of this colorful and significant Western character

Comanche Jack Stilwell Army Scout and Plainsman By Clint E. Chambers and Paul H. Carlson In 1863, the thirteen-year-old boy who would come to be called Jack was sent to the well to fetch water. Instead, he joined a wagon train bound for COMANCHE JACK STILWELL STILWELL CHAMBERS, CARLSON COMANCHE JACK Santa Fe. Thus began the exploits of Simpson E. “Jack” Stilwell (1850–1903), a man generally known for slipping through Indian lines to get help for some fifty frontiersmen besieged by the Cheyenne at Beecher Island in 1868. Daring as his part in the rescue might have been, it was only one noteworthy episode of many in Comanche Jack Stilwell’s life—a life whose rollicking story is finally told here in full.

In his later years, Stilwell crafted his own legend as a celebrated raconteur. Authors Clint E. Chambers (whose grandfather was Stilwell’s nephew) and Paul H. Carlson scour the available primary and secondary sources to find the unvarnished truth and remarkable facts behind the legend. In a crisp, fast-paced style, the narrative MARCH follows Stilwell from his precocious start as a teenage runaway turned teamster on $24.95 PAPER 978-0-8061-6278-2 the Santa Fe Trail to his later turns as lawyer, judge, U.S. Marshal, hangman, and 288 PAGES, 6 X 9 26 B&W ILLUS., 2 MAPS associate of Buffalo Bill Cody.

Custer and an avowed, if failed, avenger of his kid brother Frank, an outlaw killed by Of Related Interest Wyatt Earp.

Unfolding against the backdrop of the Civil War, cattle drives, the Indian Wars, the Oklahoma land rush, and the rough justice of the Wild West, Comanche Jack Stilwell takes a true American character out of the shadows of history and returns to the story of the West one of its defining figures.

Hit Your Brights Stories By Constance Squires Hit Your Brights captures people in tough spots, often of their own making. Fusing humor and tragedy, these thirteen gritty stories keep readers in suspense. Danger lurks, the needle skips, the bomb goes off, and the empties pile up.

The first anthology to feature Latina poets exclusively

OTHER MUSICS OTHER MUSICS CRUZ CRUZ Other Musics New Latina Poetry Edited by Cynthia Cruz Latina poets occupy an important place in today’s literary landscape.

Their voices—sometimes lyrical, sometimes autobiographical, sometimes politically charged—are distinctly female. Whereas previous anthologies have merged the works of Latino and Latina poets, this collection is the first to showcase Latina poetry on its own terms.

For years readers have admired the poetry of prominent Latina authors Cherrie Moraga, Ana Castillo, and Sandra Cisneros. Building on their inspirational legacy, Other Musics heralds a new generation of Latina poets whose work blends traditional forms and styles with postmodern innovations.

A masterwork by one of China’s most LI ER COLORATURA accomplished contemporary novelists

Coloratura By Li Er Translated by Jeremy Tiang Li Er, whose innovative works of fiction have earned the admiration of scholars and critics—and a passionate fan base of readers—is one of China’s most prominent writers. This landmark publication of his Coloratura, a tour de force of literary innovation, marks the first translation of the author’s novels into English.

Set against the turbulent backdrop of the Chinese Civil War, Coloratura revolves around the mysterious Ge Ren, whose story is told by three narrators and a host of other voices. Who was Ge Ren really? Just about the only thing anyone can agree on is that he is dead. But how he died, and who he was when alive, are less than certain. Was Ge Ren a hero, a Nationalist or Communist, a poet, translator, scholar, or spy—or some combination of all these identities? And how much of his story is merely fanciful “coloratura” nonsense? VOLUME 8 IN THE CHINESE LITERATURE As different factions fight for control of China, Ge Ren traverses the political and TODAY BOOK SERIES intellectual life of the country, managing to affect countless lives. Years later, in the present day, his final surviving descendant, the intriguing “compiler” of the novel, MAY $24.95 PAPER 978-0-8061-4423-8 pieces together the stories of her enigmatic ancestor from a patchwork of narrators, 306 PAGES, 6 X 9 reliable or otherwise, and historical documents, real or invented.

Of Related Interest The search for Ge Ren takes us from Chairman Mao’s stronghold at Yan’an to a barren People’s Commune, and then farther afield, with excursions into Russia, Japan, and even a small town in England. Many of the characters and incidents are actual historical figures and events, woven seamlessly into the fictional storyline. Told with swashbuckling brio and painstaking historical detail, Coloratura is both an illuminating journey through twentieth-century Chinese history and a profound exploration of the elusive nature of truth.

Eanger Irving Couse The Life and Times of an American Artist, 1866–1936 By Virginia Couse Leavitt Eanger Irving Couse (1866–1936) showed remarkable promise as a young art student. His lifelong interest in Native American cultures also started at an early age, inspired by encounters with Chippewa Indians living near his hometown, Saginaw, Michigan. After studying in Europe, Couse began spending summers in New Mexico, where in 1915 he helped found the famous Taos Society of Artists, serving as its first president and playing a major role in its success.

FUR By Gunlög Fur In the late 1920s, a group of young artists, pursuing their education at the University of Oklahoma, encountered Swedish-born art professor Oscar Brousse Jacobson (1882–1966). With Jacobson’s instruction and friendship, the Kiowa Six, as they are now known, ignited a spectacular movement in American Indian art. Jacobson, who was himself an accomplished painter, shared a lifelong bond with group member Stephen Mopope (1898–1974), a prolific Kiowa painter, dancer, and musician.

Explores the history and significance of American pioneer statues

Pioneer Mother Monuments

PIONEER MOTHER MONUMENTS PIONEER MOTHER MONUMENTS Constructing Cultural Memory By Cynthia Culver Prescott

PRESCOTT For more than a century, American communities erected monuments to western pioneers. Although many of these statues receive little attention today, the images they depict—sturdy white men, saintly mothers, and wholesome pioneer families— enshrine prevailing notions of American exceptionalism, race relations, and gender identity. Pioneer Mother Monuments is the first book to delve into the long and complex history of remembering, forgetting, and rediscovering pioneer monuments.

In this book, historian Cynthia Culver Prescott combines visual analysis with a close reading of primary source documents. Examining some two hundred monuments erected in the United States from the late nineteenth century to the present, Prescott begins her survey by focusing on the earliest pioneer statues, which celebrated the strong white men who settled—and conquered—the West. By APRIL the 1930s, she explains, when gender roles began shifting, new monuments came $39.95s CLOTH 978-0-8061-6197-6 forth to honor the Pioneer Mother.

While interest in these traditional monuments began to wane in the postwar period, according to Prescott, a new wave of pioneer Of Related Interest monuments emerged in smaller communities during the late twentieth century. Inspired by rural nostalgia, these statues helped promote heritage tourism.

In recent years, Americans have engaged in heated debates about Confederate Civil War monuments and their implicit racism. Should these statues be removed or reinterpreted? Far less attention, however, has been paid to pioneer monuments, which, Prescott argues, also enshrine white cultural superiority—as well as gender RAINBOW BRIDGE TO MONUMENT VALLEY stereotypes.

How Southern California Indian communities combined TRAFZER Western and Native medicine in fighting infectious disease FIGHTING INVISIBLE ENEMIES

Fighting Invisible Enemies Health and Medical Transitions among Southern California Indians By Clifford E. Trafzer Native Americans long resisted Western medicine—but had less power to resist the threat posed by Western diseases. And so, as the Office of Indian Affairs entered the business of health and medicine, Native peoples reluctantly began to allow Western medicine into their communities. Fighting Invisible Enemies traces this transition among inhabitants of the Mission Indian Agency of Southern California from the late nineteenth century through the mid-twentieth century.

What historian Clifford E. Trafzer describes is not so much a transition from one practice to another, but a gradual incorporation of Western medicine into Indian medical practices. Melding indigenous and medical history specific to Southern California, his book combines statistical information and documents from the federal government with the oral narratives of several tribes. Many of these oral histories—detailing traditional beliefs about disease causation, medical practices, MAY and treatment—are unique to this work, the product of the author’s close and $34.95s CLOTH 978-0-8061-6286-7 368 PAGES, 6 X 9 trusted relationships with tribal elders. 41 B&W ILLUS., 4 MAPS, 6 TABLES AMERICAN INDIAN/HISTORY Trafzer examines the years of interaction that transpired before Native people allowed elements of Western medicine and health care into their lives, homes, and Of Related Interest communities. Among the factors he cites as impelling the change were settler-borne diseases, the negative effects of federal Indian policies, and the sincere desire of both Indians and agency doctors and nurses to combat the spread of disease. Here we see how, unlike many encounters between Indians and non-Indians in Southern California, this cooperative effort proved positive and constructive, resulting in fewer deaths from infectious diseases, especially tuberculosis.

Showcases Pueblo Indian resilience despite colonial and national pressures

Pueblo Sovereignty Indian Land and Water in New Mexico and Texas By Malcolm Ebright and Rick Hendricks

PUEBLO SOVEREIGNTY SOVEREIGNTY HENDRICKS PUEBLO EBRIGHT, Over five centuries of foreign rule—by Spain, Mexico, and the United States— Native American pueblos have confronted attacks on their sovereignty and encroachments on their land and water rights. How five New Mexico and Texas pueblos did this, in some cases multiple times, forms the history of cultural resilience and tenacity chronicled in Pueblo Sovereignty by two of New Mexico’s most distinguished legal historians, Malcolm Ebright and Rick Hendricks.

Extending their award-winning work Four Square Leagues, Ebright and Hendricks focus here on four New Mexico Pueblo Indian communities—Pojoaque, Nambe, Tesuque, and Isleta—and one now in Texas, Ysleta del Sur. The authors trace the complex tangle of conflicting jurisdictions and laws these pueblos faced when defending their extremely limited land and water resources. The communities often MARCH met such challenges in court and, sometimes, as in the case of Tesuque Pueblo in $45.00s CLOTH 978-0-8061-6199-0 1922, took matters into their own hands. Ebright and Hendricks describe how—at 280 PAGES, 6 X 9 21 B&W ILLUS., 3 MAPS times aided by appointed Spanish officials, private lawyers, priests, and Indian AMERICAN INDIAN/LAW agents—each pueblo resisted various non-Indian, institutional, and legal pressures; and how each suffered defeat in the Court of Private Land Claims and the Pueblo Of Related Interest Lands Board, only to assert its sovereignty again and again.

Although some of these defenses led to stunning victories, all five pueblos experienced serious population declines. Some were even temporarily abandoned. That all have subsequently seen a return to their traditions and ceremonies, and ultimately have survived and thrived, is a testimony to their resilience. Their stories, documented here in extraordinary detail, are critical to a complete understanding of PUEBLOS, SPANIARDS, AND THE the history of the Pueblos and of the American Southwest.

A concise history from an indigenous perspective SMITHERS

In the Native South, as in much of North America, storytelling is key to an understanding of origins and tradition—and the stories of the indigenous people of the Southeast are central to Native Southerners.

HIDE, WOOD, AND WILLOW AND WILLOW HIDE, WOOD, Hide, Wood, and Willow Cradles of the Great Plains Indians By Deanna Tidwell Broughton BROUGHTON BROUGHTON For centuries indigenous communities of North America have used carriers to keep their babies safe.

This lavishly illustrated volume is the first full- length reference book to describe baby carriers of the Lakota, Cheyenne, , and many other Great Plains cultures.

The defining era that prepared the Senecas for HAUPTMAN confronting future threats to their sovereignty

COMING FULL CIRCLE

Coming Full Circle The Seneca Nation of Indians, 1848–1934 By Laurence M. Hauptman The disastrous Buffalo Creek Treaty of 1838 called for the Senecas’ removal to Kansas (then part of the Indian Territory). From this low point, the Seneca Nation of Indians, which today occupies three reservations in western New York, sought to rebound. Beginning with events leading to the Seneca Revolution in 1848, which transformed the nation’s government from a council of chiefs to an elected system, Laurence M. Hauptman traces Seneca history through the New Deal. Based on the author’s nearly fifty years of archival research, interviews, and applied work, Coming Full Circle shows that Seneca leaders in these years learned valuable lessons and adapted to change, thereby preparing the nation to meet the challenges it would face in the post–World War II era, including major land loss and threats of termination. VOLUME 17 IN THE NEW DIRECTIONS IN Instead of emphasizing American Indian decline, Hauptman stresses that the NATIVE AMERICAN STUDIES SERIES Senecas were actors in their own history and demonstrated cultural and political resilience.

They recruited powerful allies, including attorneys, congressmen, journalists, and religious leaders.

HEDREN Prelude to the Little Big Horn By Paul L. Hedren The Battle of the Rosebud may well be the largest Indian battle ever fought in the American West.

It set the stage for the battle that occurred eight days later when, just twenty-five miles away, George Armstrong Custer blundered into the very same village that had outmatched Crook. Historian Paul L. Hedren presents the definitive account of this critical battle, from its antecedents in the Sioux campaign to its historic consequences.

Rosebud, June 17, 1876 explores in unprecedented detail the events of the spring and early summer of 1876. Drawing on an extensive array of sources, including APRIL government reports, diaries, reminiscences, and a previously untapped trove of $34.95s CLOTH 978-0-8061-6232-4 newspaper stories, the book traces the movements of both Indian forces and U.S. 488 PAGES, 6.125 X 9.25 63 B&W ILLUS., 6 MAPS troops and their Indian allies as Brigadier General Crook commenced his second MILITARY HISTORY/AMERICAN INDIAN great campaign against the northern Indians for the year.

Describing the battle from multiple viewpoints, Hedren narrates the action moment by moment, capturing the ebb and flow of the fighting. Throughout he weighs the decisions and events that contributed to Crook’s tactical victory, and to his fateful decision thereafter not to pursue his adversary. The result is a uniquely comprehensive view of an engagement that made history and then changed its course.

Provides an instructive picture of a complicated military career MORTENSON

POLITICIAN IN UNIFORM

Politician in Uniform General and the Civil War By Christopher R. Mortenson Lew Wallace (1827–1905) won fame for his novel, Ben-Hur, and for his negotiations with William H. Bonney, aka Billy the Kid, during the Lincoln County Wars of 1878–81. He was a successful lawyer, a notable Indiana politician, and a capable military administrator. And yet, as history and his own memoir tell us, Wallace would have traded all these accolades for a moment of military glory in the Civil War to save the Union. Where previous accounts have sought to discredit or defend Wallace’s performance as a general in the war, author Christopher R. Mortenson takes a more nuanced approach. Combining military biography, historical analysis, and political insight, Politician in Uniform provides an expanded and balanced view of Wallace’s military career—and offers the reader a new understanding of the experience of a voluntary general like Lew Wallace.

A rising politician from Indiana, Wallace became a Civil War general through his JANUARY political connections. While he had much success as a regimental commander, he ran $34.95s CLOTH 978-0-8061-6195-2 298 PAGES, 6 X 9 into trouble at the brigade and division levels. A natural rivalry and tension between 14 B&W ILLUS., 5 MAPS West Pointers and political generals might have accounted for some of this, but MILITARY HISTORY/U.S. HISTORY many of his difficulties, as Mortenson shows us, were of Wallace’s own making. A temperamental officer with a “rough” conception of manhood, Wallace often found Of Related Interest his mentors wanting, disrespected his superiors, and vigorously sought opportunities for glorious action in the field, only to perform poorly when given the chance.

Despite his flaws, Mortenson notes, Wallace contributed both politically and militarily to the war effort—in the fight for Fort Donelson and at the , in the defense of and southern Indiana, and in the administration of Baltimore and the Middle Department.

Examines the industry of persuasion and the WADLE

growth of the modern U.S. Navy SELLING SEA POWER

Selling Sea Power Public Relations and the U.S. Navy, 1917–1941 By Ryan D. Wadle The accepted narrative of the interwar U.S. Navy is one of transformation from a battle-centric force into a force that could fight on the “three planes” of war: in the skies, on the water, and under the waves. The political and cultural tumult that accompanied this transformation is another story. Ryan D. Wadle’s Selling Sea Power explores this little-known but critically important aspect of naval history.

After World War I, the U.S. Navy faced numerous challenges: a call for naval arms limitation, the ascendancy of air power, and budgetary constraints exacerbated by the Great Depression. Selling Sea Power tells the story of how the navy met these challenges by engaging in protracted public relations campaigns at a time when the means and methods of reaching the American public were undergoing dramatic shifts. While printed media continued to thrive, the rapidly growing film and radio industries presented new mediums through which the navy could connect MARCH with politicians and the public. Deftly capturing the institutional nuances and the $34.95s CLOTH 978-0-8061-6280-5 304 PAGES, 6 X 9 personalities in play, Wadle tracks the U.S. Navy’s at first awkward but ultimately 24 B&W FIGS. successful manipulation of mass media. At the same time, he analyzes what the MILITARY HISTORY/POLITICAL SCIENCE public could actually see of the service in the variety of media available to them, including visual examples from progressively more sophisticated—and effective— Of Related Interest public relations campaigns.

Integrating military policy and strategy with the history of American culture and politics, Selling Sea Power offers a unique look at the complex links between the evolution of the art and industry of persuasion and the growth of the modern U.S. Navy, as well as the connections between the workings of communications and public relations and the command of military and political power.

How traditional ground units responded to early aeronautical innovation

HARNESSING THE AIRPLANE HARNESSING THE AIRPLANE Harnessing the Airplane American and British Cavalry Responses to

HENNING a New Technology, 1903–1939 By Lori A. Henning At its dawn in the early twentieth century, the new technology of aviation posed a crucial question to American and British cavalry: what do we do with the airplane? Lacking the hindsight of historical perspective, cavalry planners based their decisions on incomplete information. Harnessing the Airplane compares how the American and British armies dealt with this unique challenge. A multilayered look at a critical aspect of modern industrial warfare, this book examines the ramifications of technological innovation and its role in the fraught relationship that developed between traditional ground units and emerging air forces.

Cavalry officers pondered the potential military uses of airplanes and other new technologies early on, but preferred to test them before embracing and JANUARY incorporating them in their operations. Cavalrymen cautiously examined airplane $29.95s CLOTH 978-0-8061-6184-6 240 PAGES, 6 X 9 capabilities, developed applications and doctrine for joint operations, and in 2 B&W ILLUS., 4 TABLES the United States, even tried to develop their own, specially designed craft. MILITARY HISTORY Throughout the interwar period, instead of replacing the cavalry, airplanes were used cooperatively with cavalry forces in reconnaissance, security, communication, Of Related Interest protection, and pursuit—a collaboration tested in maneuvers and officially blessed in both British and American doctrine. This interdependent relationship changed drastically, however, during the 1930s as aviation priorities and doctrine shifted from tactical support of ground troops toward independent strategic bombardment.

Henning shows that the American and British experiences with military aviation differed. The nascent British aviation service made quicker inroads FLYING TO VICTORY Raymond Collishaw and the Western into reconnaissance and scouting, even though the British cavalry was the older Desert Campaign, 1940–1941 institution with more-established traditions. The American cavalry, despite its youth, By Mike Bechthold $34.95s Cloth 978-0-8061-5596-8 contested the control of reconnaissance as late as the 1930s, years after similar arguments ended in Britain.

Drawing on contemporary government reports, memoirs and journals of service personnel, books, and professional and trade journals and magazines, Harnessing the Airplane is a nuanced account of the cavalry’s response to aviation over time and presents a new perspective on a significant chapter of twentieth-century mili- tary history.

A critical new look at maritime missions of the early republic ARMSTRONG

SMALL BOATS AND DARING MEN

Small Boats and Daring Men Maritime Raiding, Irregular Warfare, and the Early American Navy By Benjamin Armstrong Two centuries before the daring exploits of Navy SEALs and Marine Raiders captured the public imagination, the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps were already engaged in similarly perilous missions: raiding pirate camps, attacking enemy ships in the dark of night, and striking enemy facilities and resources on shore. Even John Paul Jones, father of the American navy, saw such irregular operations as critical to naval warfare. With Jones’s own experience as a starting point, Benjamin Armstrong sets out to take irregular naval warfare out of the shadow of the blue water battles that dominate naval history. This book, the first historical study of its kind, makes a compelling case for raiding and irregular naval warfare as a key element in the story of American sea power.

Beginning with the Continental Navy, Small Boats and Daring Men traces VOLUME 66 IN THE CAMPAIGNS maritime missions through the wars of the early republic, from the coast of AND COMMANDERS SERIES modern-day Libya to the rivers and inlets of the Chesapeake Bay. At the same time, Armstrong examines the era’s conflicts with nonstate enemies and threats APRIL to American peacetime interests along Pacific and Caribbean shores.

Restores a critical but little-studied chapter to the narrative of the Revolutionary War

SOUTHERN GAMBIT SOUTHERN GAMBIT Southern Gambit

CARPENTER Cornwallis and the British March to Yorktown By Stanley D. M. Carpenter In a world rife with conflict and tension, how does a great power prosecute an irregular war at a great distance within the context of a regional struggle, all within a global competitive environment? The question, so pertinent today, was confronted by the British nearly 250 years ago during the American War for Independence. And the answer, as this book makes plain, is: not the way the British, under Lieutenant General Charles, Earl Cornwallis, went about it in the American South in the years 1778–81. Southern Gambit presents a closely observed, comprehensive account of this failed strategy. Approaching the campaign from the British perspective, this book restores a critical but little-studied chapter to the narrative of the Revolutionary War—and in doing so, it adds detail and depth to our picture of Cornwallis, an outsized figure in the history of the British Empire.

Compounding this was the strategic incoherence of seeking a conventional war against a brilliant, unconventional opponent, and doing so amidst a breakdown in the unity of command.

Ultimately, strategic incoherence, ineffective command and control, and a misreading of the situation contributed to the series of cascading failures of the British effort.

Explores the impact of time and place on Guthrie’s life and work KAUFMAN

MAPPING WOODY GUTHRIE

Mapping Woody Guthrie By Will Kaufman “I ain’t got no home, I’m just a-roamin’ round,” Woody Guthrie lamented in one of his most popular songs. A native of Oklahoma, he was still in his teens when he moved to Pampa, Texas, where he experienced the dust storms that would play such a crucial role in forming his identity and shaping his work. He later joined thousands of Americans who headed to California to escape the devastation of the Dust Bowl. There he entered the West Coast stronghold of the Popular Front, whose leftward influence on his thinking would continue after his move in 1940 to New York, where the American folk music renaissance began when Guthrie encountered Pete Seeger and Lead Belly.

Guthrie kept moving throughout his life, making friends, soaking up influences, and writing about his experiences. Along the way, he produced more than 3,000 songs, as well as fiction, journalism, poetry, and visual art, that gave voice to the distressed and dispossessed. In this insightful book, Will Kaufman examines the artist’s VOLUME 4 IN THE AMERICAN POPULAR MUSIC SERIES career through a unique perspective: the role of time and place in Guthrie’s artistic evolution. JANUARY Guthrie disdained boundaries—whether of geography, class, race, or religion. As $26.95s CLOTH 978-0-8061-6178-5 178 PAGES, 6 X 9 he once claimed in his inimitable style, “There ain’t no such thing as east west 10 B&W ILLUS., 2 MAPS north or south.” Nevertheless, places were critical to Guthrie’s life, thought, and MUSIC/U.S. HISTORY creativity. He referred to himself as a “compass-pointer man,” and after his sojourn in California, he headed up to the Pacific Northwest, on to New York, and crossed Of Related Interest the Atlantic as a merchant marine.

Before his death from Huntington’s disease in 1967, Guthrie had one more important trip to take: to the Florida swamplands of Beluthahatchee, in the heart of the South. There he produced some of his most trenchant criticisms of Jim Crow racism—a portion of his work that scholars have tended to overlook.

A state-by-state exploration of civil rights activism in the West

Black Americans and the Civil Rights Movement in the West Edited by Bruce A. Glasrud and Cary D. Wintz Foreword by Quintard Taylor In 1927, Beatrice Cannady succeeded in removing racist language from the Oregon Constitution. During World War II, Rowena Moore fought for the right of black women to work in Omaha’s meat packinghouses. In 1942, Thelma Paige used the courts to equalize the salaries of black and white schoolteachers across Texas. In 1950 Lucinda Todd of Topeka laid the groundwork for the landmark Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education. These actions—including sit-ins long before the Greensboro sit-ins of 1960—occurred well beyond the borders of the American South and East, regions most known as the home of the civil rights movement.

An examination of labor history and environmental HAMPTON, ONTIVEROS COPPER STAIN history through the prism of environmental justice

Copper Stain ASARCO’s Legacy in El Paso By Elaine Hampton and Cynthia C. Ontiveros “The convertors would spew it out,” employee Arturo Hernandez recalled, referring to molten metal. “You’d see the ground, the dirt, catch on fire. . . . If you slip, you’d be like a little pat of butter, melting away.”

Hernandez was describing work at ASARCO El Paso, a smelter and onetime economic powerhouse situated in the city’s heart just a few yards north of the Mexican border. For more than a century the smelter produced vast quantities of copper—along with millions of tons of toxins. During six of those years, the smelter also burned highly toxic industrial waste under the guise of processing copper, with dire consequences for worker and community health.

How immigrants in Los Angeles used language learning to shape twentieth-century debates about U.S. citizenship

SPEAKING AMERICAN SPEAKING AMERICAN Speaking American Language Education and Citizenship in GUTFREUND Twentieth-Century Los Angeles By Zevi Gutfreund When Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Bilingual Education Act of 1968, language learning became a touchstone in the emerging culture wars. Nowhere was this more apparent than in Los Angeles, where elected officials from both political parties had supported the legislation, and where the most disruptive protests over it occurred. The city, with its diverse population of Latinos and Asian Americans, is the ideal locus for Zevi Gutfreund’s study of how language instruction informed the social construction of American citizenship. Combining the history of language instruction, school desegregation, and civil rights activism as it unfolded in Japanese American and Mexican American communities in L.A., this timely book clarifies the critical and evolving role of language instruction in twentieth-century American politics. VOLUME 15 IN THE RACE AND CULTURE IN THE AMERICAN WEST SERIES Speaking American reveals how, for generations, language instruction offered a forum for Angelino educators to articulate their responses to policies that MARCH racialized access to citizenship—from the “national origins” immigration quotas $45.00s CLOTH 978-0-8061-6186-0 304 PAGES, 6 X 9 of the Progressive Era through Congress’s removal of race from these quotas in 21 B&W ILLUS. 1965.

The Maya’s millennia-long struggle to WOODFILL protect their sacred landscape

WAR IN THE LAND OF TRUE PEACE

War in the Land of True Peace The Fight for Maya Sacred Places By Brent K. S. Woodfill For the ancient and modern Maya, the landscape is ruled by powerful entities in the form of geographic features like caves, mountains, springs, and abandoned cities— spirits who must be entreated, through visits and rituals, for permission to plant, harvest, build, or travel their territories. Consequently, such places have served as points of domination and resistance over the millennia—and nowhere is this truer than in Guatemala’s Northern Transversal Strip, the subject of Brent K. S. Woodfill’s War in the Land of True Peace.

This strategic region with its wealth of resources—fertile soil, petroleum, and the only non-coastal salt in the Maya lowlands—is the site of some of the most sacred Maya places, and thus also the focus of some of the signal struggles for power in Maya history. In War in the Land of True Peace Woodfill delves into archaeology, epigraphy, ethnohistory, and ethnography to write the biographies of several of MAY these places, covering their histories from the rise of the Preclassic Maya through $39.95s CLOTH 978-0-8061-6281-2 280 PAGES, 6 X 9 the spread of transnational corporations in our time.

A study of Oaxacan social life through the lens of caregiving

Caring for the People of the Clouds Aging and Dementia in Oaxaca By Jonathan Yahalom

CARING FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE CLOUDS CARING FOR THE PEOPLE OF CLOUDS Foreword by Xavier E. Cagigas In rural Mexico, people often say that Alzheimer’s does not exist. “People do not

YAHALOM YAHALOM have Alzheimer’s because they don’t need to worry,” said one Oaxacan, explaining that locals lack the stresses that people face “over there”—that is, in the modern world. Alzheimer’s and related dementias carry a stigma. In contrast to the way elders are revered for remembering local traditions, dementia symbolizes how modern families have forgotten the communal values that bring them together.

In Caring for the People of the Clouds, psychologist Jonathan Yahalom provides an emotionally evocative, story-rich analysis of family caregiving for Oaxacan elders living with dementia. Based on his extensive research in a Zapotec community, Yahalom presents the conflicted experience of providing care in a APRIL setting where illness is steeped in stigma and locals are concerned about social $55.00s CLOTH 978-0-8061-6268-3 $24.95s PAPER 978-0-8061-6304-8 cohesion.

Yahalom looks at how dementia is understood in a medically pluralist landscape, how it is treated in a setting marked by social tension, and how Of Related Interest caregivers endure challenges among their families and the broader community.

Yahalom argues that caregiving involves more than just a response to human dependency; it is central to regenerating local values and family relationships threatened by broader social change. In so doing, the author bridges concepts in mental health with theory from medical anthropology. Unique in its interdisciplinary approach, this book advances theory pertaining to cross-cultural

Explores a key month in the Aztec calendar SCHWALLER associated with warfare and trade

THE FIFTEENTH MONTH

The Fifteenth Month Aztec History in the Rituals of Panquetzaliztli By John F. Schwaller The Mexica (Aztecs) used a solar calendar made up of eighteen months, with each month dedicated to a specific god in their pantheon and celebrated with a different set of rituals. Panquetzaliztli, the fifteenth month, dedicated to the national god Huitzilopochtli (Hummingbird on the Left), was significant for its proximity to the winter solstice, and for the fact that it marked the beginning of the season of warfare. In The Fifteenth Month, John F. Schwaller offers a detailed look at how the celebrations of Panquetzaliztli changed over time and what these changes reveal about the history of the Aztecs.

Drawing on a variety of sources, Schwaller deduces that prior to the rise of the Mexica in 1427, an earlier version of the month was dedicated to the god Tezcatlipoca (Smoking Mirror), a war and trickster god. The Mexica shifted the dedication to their god, developed a series of ceremonies—including long-distance MAY running and human sacrifice—that would associate him with the sun, and changed $39.95s CLOTH 978-0-8061-6276-8 280 PAGES, 6 X 9 the emphasis of the celebration from warfare alone to a combination of trade and 13 COLOR AND 18 B&W ILLUS., 2 MAPS, 1 TABLE warfare, since merchants played a significant role in Mexica statecraft. Further LATIN AMERICA/HISTORY investigation shows how the resulting festival commemorated several important moments in Mexica history, how it came to include ceremonies associated with the Of Related Interest winter solstice, and how it reflected a calendar reform implemented shortly before the arrival of the Spanish.

Focused on one of the most important months in the Mexica year, Schwaller’s work marks a new methodology in which traditional sources for Mexica culture, rather than being interrogated for their specific content, are read for their insights into the historical development of the people. Just as Christmas re-creates the historic act of TLACAELEL REMEMBERED Mastermind of the Aztec Empire the birth of Jesus for Christians, so, The Fifteenth Month suggests, Panquetzaliztli By Susan Schroeder was a symbolic re-creation of events from Mexica myths and history. $29.95s Cloth 978-0-8061-5434-3 PRIMEROS MEMORIALES, PART 2 John F.

Explores the origins and processes of Central America’s detachment from Spain

Independence in Central America and Chiapas, 1770–1823 By Aaron Pollack Translated by Nancy Hancock Central America was the only part of the far-reaching Spanish Empire in continental America not to experience destructive independence wars in the period between 1810 and 1824.

A student-friendly commentary spanning the TAYLOR

entire Sicilian Expedition and its prelude THUCYDIDES’S MELIAN DIALOGUE AND SICILIAN EXPEDITION

Thucydides’s Melian Dialogue and Sicilian Expedition A Student Commentary By Martha C. Taylor Best known for his account of the Peloponnesian War, Thucydides (c. 454–c. 395 b.c.) was an Athenian general and historian. This valuable commentary addresses the most famous part of Thucydides’s narrative: the Sicilian Expedition (books 6–8.1), which resulted in a major defeat for Athens. Designed for advanced under- graduate and graduate students of Greek, Martha C. Taylor’s student-friendly text is the first single volume in more than a century to focus on the expedition and the first to include the Melian Dialogue (5.84–116), considered the “prelude” to the invasion.

Many beginning readers of Thucydides require assistance with the author’s often difficult constructions. In her notes to the text, Taylor breaks down Thucydides’s convoluted sentences and explains them piece by piece. Her notes also explain the VOLUME 57 IN THE OKLAHOMA SERIES IN CLASSICAL CULTURE author’s many historical and literary references.

In her in-depth introduction, Taylor provides students with all the information they JANUARY need to begin reading Thucydides. She discusses what we know about the Greek $34.95s PAPER 978-0-8061-6194-5 author—and what we do not—and she analyzes his unique language and style.

In addition to textual and historical commentary, this volume includes three maps; an appendix addressing the epitaph of Perikles (2.65.5–13), in which Thucydides appears to contradict his later presentation of the Sicilian Expedition; source suggestions for student term papers on relevant topics; and a general bibliography.
