Contents, Illustrations. Maps. Biblio. Notes. Index.. P.4l6. $39.95. Hardcover. One of the great mysteries of North American exploration is the precise route of Coronado after he crossed the Pecos River in May 1541. Morris' work explores possible answers to this question which has been "shrouded in controversy, mired in deception" (p.26). He has studied the numerous accounts of explorers as well as generations of foHowers to present his interpretation of the route of discovery. Besides the contributions of Coronado, the testimonies of much later explorers and developers such as Josiah Gregg, A. W. Whipple, and John Pope are discussed. The work is not only a focus on Spain's efforts to locate the fabled Cities of Gold; it also analyzes the early ex.plorers' attitudes toward the land and its richness in mineral and water wealth as well as in terms of the original inhabitants.

As homesteaders, hunters, miners and cattle ranchers flooded onto the Plains, they not only came into conflict with the Plains Indians who already lived there, but also with each other. This was a time of robberies, range wars and Indian wars in the wide open spaces of the West. Gradually, the forces of law and order caught up with the lawbreakers, while the US army defeated the Plains Indians.

As a "bad" badman, a threat to the moral order, the Kid had to die so that civilization-repre­ sented by Sheriff Pat Garrett-could advance. This formula of conflict and resolution by death can be detected in dime novels and early magazine accounts, which dwell on the Kid's unheroic appearance and bloodthirsty char­ acter. After a period of meager interest, by the mid-1920s a quite different figure was being molded by biographers and film makers. This was the prototypical "good" badman, one who personifies a kind of idealism. In Walter Noble Burns's key biography in 1926 and in a 1930 film, the Kid becomes a redeemer who helps small farmers.

My thanks to management and staff. It was good. 3 Excerpt from Legends of the West: Spotted Tail said, “Now, let me tell you the worst thing about the Wasicu, and the hardest thing to understand: They do not understand choice...” This caused a murmur of consternation among the Lakota. Choice was choice. What was not there to not understand? Choice is the bedrock tenet of our very view of reality. The choices a person makes are quite literally what makes that person into who they are. Who else can tell you how to be you? One follows one’s own nature and one’s own inner voice; to us this is sacrosanct. You can choose between what makes life beautiful and what makes life ugly; you can choose whether to paint yourself in a certain manner or whether to wear something made of iron — or, as was the case with the famous Cheyenne warrior Roman Nose — you could choose to never so much as touch iron. In battle you choose whether you should charge the enemy first, join the main thrust of attack, or take off on your own and try to steal his horses.
