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, fction 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.
Calamity became a hostess and dancer in Deadwood’s saloons and theaters. She
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
down-and-out. Journalists and dime novelists couldn’t get enough of either version,
nor, in the following century, could flmmakers.
Sorting through the stories, veteran western historian Richard W. Etulain’s account
begins with a biography that offers new information on Calamity’s several
“husbands” (including one she legally married), her two children, and a woman
who claimed to be the daughter of Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity, a story Etulain
discredits. 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 frst appearance as
a heroine in the Deadwood Dick dime novels, Calamity Jane lives on—raunchy,
unabashed, contradictory, and ambiguous as ever.
Richard W. Etulain is Professor Emeritus of History and former director of the
Center for the American West at the University of New Mexico. Former editor
of the New Mexico Historical Review, he is the author or editor of more than 50
books, including Beyond the Missouri: The Story of the American West and Telling
Western Stories: From Buffalo Bill to Larry McMurtry.

The history of American frearms is
inseparable from the history of the United
States, for frearms have played crucial
roles in the nation’s founding, westward
expansion, and industrial, economic,
and cultural development. This history
unfolds in compelling words and images
in A Legacy in Arms, a volume that draws
upon the collections of the National
Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in
Oklahoma City to trace the business and
art of gun making from the early national
period to the turn of the twentieth century.
With more than 200 images—almost all
in full color—A Legacy in Arms not only
documents the inspiration and innovation
of arms makers from individual artisans
to mass producers, but also describes the
development of decorative expression in
the gun maker’s art.
In an account both entertaining and
enlightening, Richard C. Rattenbury
details the development of commercial
arms making, from the genesis of the
Kentucky rife to the arms of such iconic
manufacturers as Colt, Remington,
Smith & Wesson, Sharps, Marlin, and
Winchester. Into this narrative he weaves
the particulars of design evolution and
the impact of mass production via the
“American System.” The accompanying
photographs and illustrations stand as
eloquent testimony to the range and
richness of the gun maker’s craft—and
its rightful place in the story of American
industry and culture.
Richard C. Rattenbury is Curator of History at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum and the
author of Hunting the American West; The Art of American Arms Makers; Packing Iron: Gunleather of the
Frontier West; and Arena Legacy: The Heritage of American Rodeo. R. L. Wilson is a freelance consultant in the
felds of Americana, frearms, and engraving and the author of more than 50 books, including benchmark works
on Colt and Winchester. Ed Muno is former Curator of Art at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum
and a widely published photographer of fne western art and historic artifacts.

A Step toward Brown v. Board of Education
Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher and Her Fight to End Segregation
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 frst 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.
Cheryl Elizabeth Brown Wattley gives us a richly textured picture of the black-
and-white world from which Ada Lois Sipuel and her family emerged. Against this
Oklahoma background Wattley shows Sipuel (who married Warren Fisher a year
before she fled her suit) struggling against a segregated educational system. Her
legal battle is situated within the history of civil rights litigation and race-related
jurisprudence in the state of Oklahoma and in the nation. Hers was a test case
organized by the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored
People) to go all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and, as precedent, strike
another blow against “separate but equal” public education.
Fisher served as both a litigant, with Thurgood Marshall for counsel, and, later, a
litigator; both a plaintiff and an advocate for the NAACP; and both a student and,
ultimately, a teacher of the very history she’d help to write. In telling Fisher’s story,
Wattley also reveals a time and a place undergoing a profound transformation
spurred by one courageous woman taking a bold step forward.
Cheryl Elizabeth Brown Wattley is Professor of Law and Director of Experiential
Learning at the University of North Texas, Dallas, College of Law. She began her
research of Fisher’s life and legal case while Professor of Law at the University of
Oklahoma.

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 infuence to concrete-on-the-ground. While most stopped
there, Avery went on to assure that one road—U.S. Highway 66—became a fxture
in the imagination of America and the world.
Father of Route 66 transports readers to the years when the United States was
moving from steam to internal combustion engines and traces Avery’s life from his
birth in Stevensville, Pennsylvania, to his death more than ninety years later. Avery
came west in a covered wagon, grew up in Indian Territory, and spent his adult years
in oil-rich Tulsa, where ffty millionaires sat on the Chamber of Commerce board and
the builder of the Panama Canal dropped in to size up a local water project.
Cy Avery was a farmer, teacher, real estate professional, oil man, and politician, but
throughout his long life he remained a champion for better roads across America.
He stood up to the Oklahoma Ku Klux Klan, hatched plans for a municipal airport,
and helped build a 55-mile water pipeline for Tulsa. The centerpiece of his story—
and this book—however, is Avery’s role in designing the national highway system,
his monumental fght with the governor of Kentucky over a road number, and his
promotional efforts that turned his U.S. 66 into an American icon.
Father of Route 66 is the frst in-depth exploration of Cy Avery’s life and his impact
on the movement that transformed twentieth-century America. It is a must-read for
anyone fascinated by Route 66 and America’s early car culture.
Susan Croce Kelly is the award-winning author of Route 66: The Highway and Its
People. She has written extensively about the history of U.S. Highway 66.

transformation of twentieth-century America

The Wister Trace
Assaying Classic Western Fiction
Second Edition
By Loren D. Estleman
A master practitioner’s view of his craft, this classic survey of the fction of the
American West is part literary history, part criticism, and entertaining throughout.
The frst 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 frst writer of Westerns, but he defned the genre,
contrasting chivalry with the lawlessness of the border and introducing such lines
as “When you call me that, smile!” Estleman tips his hat to Wister’s predecessors,
among them Ned Buntline, the inventor of the dime novel, and Buffalo Bill. His
assessments of Wister’s successors—Zane Grey, Walter Van Tilburg Clark, and Louis
L’Amour, to name but three—soon make clear the impossibility of differentiating
great western writing from great American writing.
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 flm adaptations
that will guide readers to movies, and moviegoers to books. An appendix draws
readers’ attention to authors not covered elsewhere in the volume—some of them
old masters like Bret Harte and Jack London, but many of them fascinating outliers
ranging from Clifford Irving to Joe R. Lansdale.
Loren D. Estleman is the award-winning author of nearly 70 novels and hundreds
of short stories in the crime and Western genres, including his popular Amos Walker
and Page Murdock series.

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 frst 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 confict that forever
changed the political, social, and economic fabric of the nation. It also introduced
the commanders, tactics, and weaponry that would defne 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
full scope of the campaign of First Bull Run—its drama and suspense as well as its
practical and tactical underpinnings and ramifcations. Also woven throughout are
biographical sketches detailing the backgrounds and personalities of the leading
commanders and other actors in the unfolding confict.
Longacre has combed previously unpublished primary sources, including
correspondence, diaries, and memoirs of more than four hundred participants
and observers, from ranking commanders to common soldiers and civilians
affected by the fghting. In weighing all the evidence, Longacre fnds correctives
to long-held theories about campaign strategy and battle tactics and questions
sacrosanct beliefs—such as whether the Manassas Gap Railroad was essential to the
Confederate victory. Longacre shears away the myths and persuasively examines the
long-term repercussions of the Union’s defeat at Bull Run, while analyzing whether
the Confederates really had a chance of ending the war in July 1861 by seizing
Washington, D.C.
Brilliant moves, avoidable blunders, accidents, historical forces, personal foibles: all
are within Longacre’s compass in this deftly written work that is sure to become the
standard history of the frst, critical campaign of the Civil War.
Edward G. Longacre is a retired U.S. Department of Defense Historian and the
author of numerous articles and books on the Civil War and U.S. military history,
including The Cavalry at Gettysburg, winner of the Fletcher Pratt Award, and
Gentleman and Soldier: A Biography of Wade Hampton III, recipient of the
Douglas Southall Freeman History Award.

American Indians in U.S. History
Second Edition
By Roger L. Nichols
This concise survey, tracing the experiences of American Indians from their origins
to the present, has proven its value to both students and general readers in the
decade since its frst publication. Now the second edition, drawing on the most
recent research, adds information about Indian social, economic, and cultural
issues in the twenty-frst century. Useful features include new, brief biographies of
important Native fgures, an overall chronology, and updated suggested readings for
each period of the past four hundred years.
The author traces tribal experiences through four eras: Indian America prior to the
European invasions; the colonial period; the emergence of the United States as the
dominant power in North America and its subsequent invasion of Indian lands; and
the years from 1900 to the present. Nichols uses both Euro-American sources and
tribal stories to illuminate the problems Indian people and their leaders have dealt
with in every generation.
Roger L. Nichols is Professor Emeritus of History and Affliate Professor of Indian
Studies at the University of Arizona. He is the author of Warrior Nations: The
United States and Indian Peoples and editor of The American Indian: Past and

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. Cabeza de Vaca’s account of this astonishing journey
is now recognized as one of the great travel stories of all time and a touchstone
of New World literature. But his career did not begin and end with his North
American ordeal. Robin Varnum’s biography, the frst 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-
Indian companions fnally reconnected with Spaniards in northern Mexico, he was
horrifed to learn that his compatriots were enslaving Indians there. His Relación
(1542) advocated using kindness and fairness rather than force in dealing with the
native people of the New World. Cabeza de Vaca went on to serve as governor of
Spain’s province of Río de La Plata in South America (roughly modern Paraguay).
As a loyal subject of the king of Spain, he supported the colonialist enterprise
and believed in Christianizing the Indians, but he always championed the rights
of native peoples. In Río de La Plata he tried to keep his men from robbing
the Indians, enslaving them, or exploiting them sexually—policies that caused
grumbling among the troops. When Cabeza de Vaca’s men mutinied, he was sent
back to Spain in chains to stand trial before the Royal Council of the Indies.
Drawing on the conquistador’s own reports and on other sixteenth-century
documents, both in English translation and the original Spanish, Varnum’s lively
narrative braids eyewitness testimony of events with historical interpretation
benefting from recent scholarship and archaeological investigation. As one of the
few Spaniards of his era to explore the coasts and interiors of two continents, Cabeza
de Vaca is recogn‚ized today above all for his more humane attitude toward and
interactions with the Indian peoples of North America, Mexico, and South America.
Robin Varnum is Associate Professor of English at American International College,
Springfeld, Massachusetts.

The King and Queen of Comezón
By Denise Chávez
Comezón: It’s more than an itch. It’s a long-standing desire that will never be
fulflled. And, in this novel by award-winning author Denise Chávez, it is also a
border town in New Mexico whose denizens’ longings are as powerful as they are,
all too often, impossible.
But in the feverish dance of life that seizes Comezón during its two annual festas,
all things seem possible. As the townspeople revel in the freedom of the festas, their
stories unfold in all manner of mystery, drama, and comic charm. In the middle
of it all is Arnulfo P. Olivárez, master of ceremonies and befuddled patriarch of a
less-than-tractable family. At the moment, he is calculating his chances of becoming
mayor, as well as pondering the fate of his beautiful disabled daughter, Juliana.
Arnulfo’s daughters (“the half and the whole,” he deems them) are the Fiesta
Queen, Lucinda, a lovely, lost and wild girl, and Juliana, her half sister, wheelchair-
bound but with soaring dreams of love for the local priest, El Padre Manolito.
Their mother, the saintly Doña Emilia, attends to all her children, including Arnulfo,
with grace. Lucinda’s unsuitable suitor, Ruley Terrazas, a tall, bumpy-skinned boy,
is not to be trusted, nor is his father, Cuco “Matamosca” Terrazas, the local chief
of police. And Rey Suárez, owner of the Mil Recuerdos Lounge, is haunted by his
former incarnation as an immigration offcer, an expert in spotting fake IDs.
Between New Mexico and México, between Cinco de Mayo and the 16th of
September, between the dreams and the realities of Comezón’s characters, something
has to give. Each character is attempting to fnd love in this feverish festa called
Life. And in the deft hands of Denise Chávez this tragicomic novel gives unerringly:
pleasure, surprise, and the satisfaction of a tale well told.
Denise Chávez is author of The Last of the Menu Girls, Face of an Angel, Loving
Pedro Infante, and A Taco Testimony: Meditations on Family, Food, and Culture.
She serves as Executive Director of the Border Book Festival in Las Cruces, New
Mexico.

Running with the Antelope
Life, Fitness, and Grit on the Northern Plains
By Melanie Carvell
Foreword by Clay S. Jenkinson
Melanie Carvell is a gifted athlete who grew up in a small town in southwestern
North Dakota in the 1970s. This beautiful memoir tells the story of Melanie’s
remarkable journey, from the agricultural village of Mott (population 732) to
world duathlon and triathlon competitions, then a notable career as a physical
therapist, director of the Sanford Women’s Health Center in Bismarck, North
Dakota, and a widely sought-after motivational speaker.
Melanie learned to run on the northern Great Plains, where the winters are long
and harsh and the wind tests the human spirit. She attributes her national and
international success to her agrarian roots and the challenge of biking, running,
and swimming in one of the most formidable landscapes of America. Her
motivational philosophy is, “If I can do these things, given the modesty of my
upbringing and the harshness of the Dakota climate, so can you.” Running with
the Antelope will inspire readers to begin a program of athletic training, weight
loss, or general self-improvement.
Written in a humble and accessible style, with loving anecdotes about her life as
a top athlete and her work as a physical therapist, Running with the Antelope is
part self-help book, part prairie memoir, and part song of love to North Dakota,
which is undergoing a rapid transformation from its agrarian past to a carbon
extraction industrial future.
Melanie Carvell is a physical therapist and Director of the Sanford Women’s
Health Center in Bismarck, North Dakota. She is also an accomplished triathlete
who is a fve-time All American, representing USA Triathlons on eight World
Championship teams and having won a bronze medal in Germany in 1999.
Clay S. Jenkinson is the editor of The Dakota Institute Press and author of For
the Love of North Dakota And Other Essays, The Character of Meriwether
Lewis, and A Free and Hardy Life.

“This is a book for everyone who has ever loved, for everyone

“Part memoir, part poetry, all heart, The Old Man’s Love Story
questions life, love, death, eternity and all parts in between. . . .

“There was an old man who dwelt in the land of New Mexico,
and he lost his wife.” From this opening line, Rudolfo Anaya
crafts a tender novella at once universal and deeply personal.
The narrator, a writer, shares intimate thoughts about his wife,
their life together, and her death.
The old man’s story captures the heartaches and ironies of old
age as he proceeds through days of grief and memory. He talks
with his wife along the way. A year passes. He longs to care for
someone, but—to love again?
Anaya’s refections point to the power and importance of love
at every stage of life. Lyrical and earthy, sad yet suffused with
humor, The Old Man’s Love Story will speak to all readers,
especially those who have loved and lost.
Rudolfo Anaya is Professor Emeritus of English at the
University of New Mexico. He has received numerous literary
awards, including the Premio Quinto Sol and a National Medal

“The genius of Bud Wilkinson as a football coach becomes
apparent in these remarkable letters to his son Jay. . . . He
treated his players like family members, and it showed.”—Barry
Switzer, former head coach, University of Oklahoma and Dallas
Cowboys
College football fans need no introduction to Bud Wilkinson,
but few know the great University of Oklahoma football coach
as a devoted father. In Dear Jay, Love Dad, Bud’s son Jay shares
forty-seven letters his father wrote to him while he was in
college and graduate school. Spanning the early to mid-1960s,
these letters reveal Bud’s deep love for his son, as well as the
philosophy and values that led to his remarkable success in
sports and in life.
Beginning with the frst letter Bud wrote when Jay left home,
this collection shows a father guiding his son toward his own
path while stressing the importance of service to others. He
mixes encouragement with intellectual discussions, and he writes
about his own challenges. Bud Wilkinson’s thoughts on ethics
in business and politics are as inspiring today as when he wrote
them a half-century ago.
Jay Wilkinson, a recipient of the NCAA’s prestigious Silver
Anniversary Award, is a noted motivational speaker and the
author of Bud Wilkinson: An Intimate Portrait of an American

“A new standard sourcebook and chronology of New Mexico
events of the past 500 years.”—True West
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, Santa Fe Trail, railroads, Route 66, interstate
highway system, and now the Internet.
The frst complete history of New Mexico in more than a
generation, this volume begins with prehistoric cultures, then
traces the state’s growth from the arrival of Spanish explorers
in the sixteenth century to the 2012 statehood centennial. This
book shows that the transformation from frontier territory
to modern state really began not with statehood, but during
World War II, when Atomic Era technological advancements
propelled New Mexico to the forefront of scientifc research.
Covering the state’s historical and cultural geography; the
economics of mining and ranching, irrigation and agriculture;
and the impact of Native activism and tribe-owned casinos,
New Mexico: A History is a vital source for anyone seeking to
understand the land and its people.
Joseph P. Sánchez is the author of Between Two Rivers: The
Atrisco Land Grant in Albuquerque History, 1692–1968.
Retired park historian Robert L. Spude has published several
books on Southwest history. Art Gómez is coauthor of New

“An unmitigated triumph. . . . A book that will effectively tell
Alaska’s story for some time to come.”—Alaska History
In Alaska: A History, Claus-M. Naske and Herman E. Slotnick
show that the history of Alaska’s peoples and the development
of its economy match the diversity of its land. They describe
the region’s geography and the Native peoples who inhabited
it before Europeans arrived. Russians claimed northern North
America in 1741, but “Russian America” was little more than a
fur trading outpost. When the czar sold the territory to the United
States in 1867, nobody knew what to do with “Seward’s Folly.”
Gold strikes brought a rush of gold seekers to Yukon Territory,
and in 1906 Congress gave Alaska Territory a delegate. During
World War II, Alaska established its military importance, which
was underscored during the Cold War. Not until 1959 was
Alaska’s goal of statehood realized. The discovery of huge oil and
natural-gas deposits gave the state a measure of economic security.
Alaska: A History addresses the Alaska Native Claims
Settlement Act of 1971, the economic effect of the oil industry
and trans-Alaska pipeline, the Exxon Valdez oil spill, and
Alaska politics through the early 2000s.
Claus-M. Naske (1935–2014) was Professor of History at the
University of Alaska. Long a resident of the state, he is the
author of many works on Alaska history. Herman E. Slotnick
(1917–2002) was for many years head of the Department
of History at the University of Alaska. Naske and Slotnick
coauthored Alaska: A History of the 49th State.

HWINNER, GREAT PLAINS DISTINGUISHED BOOK PRIZE
CENTER FOR GREAT PLAINS STUDIES
In 1879, a Canadian Blackfoot known as Spopee, or Turtle,
shot and killed a white man. Captured as a fugitive, Spopee
narrowly escaped execution, landing in an insane asylum in
Washington, D.C., where he fell silent. Spopee “disappeared”
for more than thirty years, until a delegation of American
Blackfeet discovered him and, aided by the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs, exacted a pardon from President Woodrow
Wilson. After re-emerging into society like a modern-day
Rip Van Winkle, Spopee spent the fnal year of his life on
the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana, in a world that had
changed irrevocably.
Blackfoot Redemption is the riveting account of Spopee’s
haunting story. In revealing both certainties and ambiguities
in Spopee’s story, William E. Farr relates a larger story about
racial dynamics and prejudice, while poignantly evoking the
turbulent fnal days of the buffalo-hunting Indians before their
confnement, loss of freedom, and confusion that came with the
wrenching transition to reservation life.
William E. Farr is a Senior Fellow at the O’Connor Center for
the Rocky Mountain West and Professor Emeritus of History
at the University of Montana, Missoula. He is the author of
The Reservation Blackfeet, 1882–1945: A Photogaphic History
of Cultural Survival and Julius Seyler and the Blackfeet: An

This rich, rousing gusher of a biography captures the life and
times of an American hero and the birth of the modern oil
empire he created.

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 feet 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
fre and chaos through the ordnance-packed vessels. When the fres 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.
The Second Pearl Harbor is the frst book to tell the full story of what happened on
that fateful day. Military historian Gene Salecker recounts the events and conditions
leading up to the explosion, then re-creates the drama directly afterward: men
swimming through faming oil, small craft desperately trying to rescue the injured,
and subsequent explosions throwing faming debris everywhere. With meticulous
attention to detail the author explains why he and other historians believe that
the offcial explanation for the cause of the explosion, that a mortar shell was
accidentally detonated, is wrong.
This in-depth account of a little-known incident adds to our understanding of
the dangers during World War II, even far from the front, and restores a missing
chapter to history.
Gene Eric Salecker is a military historian whose published work includes Disaster on
the Mississippi: The Sultana Explosion, April 27, 1865 and Blossoming Silk against
the Rising Sun: U.S. and Japanese Paratroopers in the Pacifc in World War II.

Connecticut Unscathed
Victory in the Great Narragansett War, 1675–1676
By Jason W. Warren
The confict 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 fghting men (not including their Indian allies),
obliterating seventeen white towns, and damaging more than ffty 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
confict, Warren asserts, should more properly be called the Great Narragansett
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,
Warren revises a key chapter in colonial history. In contrast to its sister colonies,
Connecticut emerged from the war relatively unharmed. The colony’s comparatively
moderate Indian policies made possible an effective alliance with the Mohegans
and Pequots. These Indian allies proved crucial to the colony’s war effort,
Warren contends, and at the same time denied the enemy extra manpower and
intelligence regarding the surrounding terrain and colonial troop movements. 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.
Connecticut’s experience, properly understood, affords a new perspective on the Great
Narragansett War—and a reevaluation of its place in the ongoing confict between the
Narragansetts and the Mohegans of Connecticut, and in American history.
Major Jason W. Warren, U.S. Army, received his doctorate in history from The Ohio
State University and served as an Assistant Professor of History at West Point. He is
currently a strategist at the Army War College.
A revisionary approach to King Philip’s War—
and how one colony persevered

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 fghting 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 fghting for their own freedom and that of their families. They
belonged to the frst black regiment raised in a northern state, and the frst black
unit to see combat during the Civil War. Soldiers in the Army of Freedom is the frst
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.
Composed primarily of former slaves, the First Kansas Colored saw major combat
in Missouri, Indian Territory, and Arkansas. Ian Michael Spurgeon draws upon
a wealth of little-known sources—including soldiers’ pension applications—to
chart the intersection of race and military service, and to reveal the regiment’s role
in countering white prejudices by defying stereotypes. Despite naysayers’ bigoted
predictions—and a merciless slaughter at the Battle of Poison Spring—these black
soldiers proved themselves as capable as their white counterparts, and so helped
shape the evolving attitudes of leading politicians, such as Kansas senator James
Henry Lane and President Abraham Lincoln. A long-overdue reconstruction of
the regiment’s remarkable combat record, Spurgeon’s book brings to life the men
of the First Kansas Colored Infantry in their doubly desperate battle against the
Confederate forces and skepticism within Union ranks.
Ian Michael Spurgeon holds a Ph.D. in history from the University of Southern
Mississippi. He is currently a historian in the World War II Division of the Defense
POW/Missing Personnel Offce in Washington, D.C. He has written numerous
articles on U.S. political, military, and African American history and is the author of
Man of Douglas, Man of Lincoln: The Political Odyssey of James Henry Lane.

By George Kimball
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 fve 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 frsthand 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 refection.
With the Twelfth Massachusetts, Kimball saw action at many of the most critical
and ferocious battles in the eastern theater of the war, such as Second Bull Run,
Antietam, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, and Petersburg—engagements
he vividly renders from the infantry soldier’s point of view. Aware that his readers
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.
Editors Alan D. Gaff and Donald H. Gaff have added an introduction and
explanatory notes, as well as maps and illustrations, to provide further context and
clarity, making George Kimball’s memoir one of the most complete and interesting
accounts of what it was to fght in the Civil War—and what that experience looked
like through the lens of time.
Alan D. Gaff is an independent scholar and the author of several books, including
Bayonets in the Wilderness: Anthony Wayne’s Legion in the Old Northwest,
Blood in the Argonne: The “Lost Battalion” in World War I, and On Many a
Bloody Field: Four Years in the Iron Brigade. Donald H. Gaff, Assistant Professor
of Anthropology at the University of Northern Iowa, is the author of numerous
articles and scholarly contributions to books and reports in anthropology and
archaeology.

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 confict 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
Agustina Zaragoza Domenech, then, we meet French sympathizers, campfollowers,
pamphleteers, cross-dressers, prostitutes, amorous party girls, and even a few
protofeminists.
Esdaile examines many social spheres, ranging from the pampered daughters of the
nobility, through the cloistered members of Spain’s many convents, to the tough and
defant 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
these women remain frmly in their historical and cultural context, a context that
Esdaile shows to have emerged from the Peninsular War hardly changed. Hence the
subsequent loss of these women’s story, and the obscurity from which this book has
at long last rescued them.
Charles J. Esdaile is Professor in History at the University of Liverpool. His
numerous publications include Napoleon’s Wars: An International History, The
Peninsular War: A New History, and Fighting Napoleon: Guerrillas, Bandits and
Adventurers in Spain.

Americans Recaptured
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 frst 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 fxing 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 justifed, 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
narratives—small towns found a way of inscribing themselves into the national story.
By drawing out the connections between actual captivity, captivity narratives, and
the memorializing of white captives, Varley shows how Indian captivity became
a means for Progressive Era Americans to look forward by looking back. Local
boosters and cultural commentators used Indian captivity to defne “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 affrmed the contemporary notion of America as a
melting pot.
Revealing how the recitation and interpretation of these captivity narratives
changed over time—with shifting emphasis on brutality, gender, and ethnographic
and historical accuracy—Americans Recaptured shows that tales of Indian captivity
were no more fxed than American identity, but were consistently used to give that
identity its own useful, ever-evolving shape.
Molly K. Varley holds a Ph.D. in history from the University of Montana. She lives
in Raleigh, North Carolina.

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 frst 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.
Because there was no geographical frontier in California separating Indians and
whites, the interaction varied signifcantly from region to region in California. In
the south, confict reached a climax in 1851 when Antonio Garra led a pan-Indian
revolt that sent shock waves throughout California, forcing the Americans to take
counteractions that affected themselves as much as the Indians.
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
lands, Phillips shows, is evidence of their strategic efforts to survive. His narrative
includes numerous eloquent testimonies from Indians, among them a student at a
government-run school who wrote to the U.S. president: “The white people call San
Jacinto rancho their land and I don’t want them to do it. We think it is ours, for
God gave it to us frst.”
George Harwood Phillips is retired as Professor of History at the University of
Colorado, Boulder. He is the author of numerous articles and books on California
and its Native peoples, including Vineyards and Vaqueros: Indian Labor and the
Economic Expansion of Southern California, 1771–1877.

Arapaho Stories, Songs, and Prayers
A Bilingual Anthology
By Andrew Cowell, Alonzo Moss, Sr., and William J. C’Hair
A bison and a bobtailed horse race across the sky, raising a trail of dust behind
them—leaving it, the Milky Way, to forever mark their path. An unknown Arapaho
teller shared this account with an ethnographer in 1893, explaining how the race
determined which animal would be ridden, which would be food. Traditional
American Indian oral narratives, ranging from origin stories to trickster tales and
prayers, constitute part of the great heritage of each tribe. Many of these narratives,
gathered in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, were obtained or
published only in English translation. Although this is the case with many Arapaho
stories, extensive Arapaho-language texts exist that have never before been
published—until now. Arapaho Stories, Songs, and Prayers gives new life to these
manuscripts, celebrating Arapaho oral narrative traditions in all the richness of their
original language.
Working with Alonzo Moss, Sr., and William J. C’Hair, two fuent native speakers
of Arapaho, Andrew Cowell retranscribes these texts—collected between the early
1880s and the late 1920s—into modern Arapaho orthography, and retranslates
and annotates them in English. Masterpieces of oral literature, these texts include
creation accounts, stories about the Arapaho trickster character Nih’oo3oo, animal
tales, anecdotes, songs, prayers, and ceremonial speeches. In addition to a general
introduction, the editors offer linguistic, stylistic, thematic, and cultural commentary
and context for each of the texts.
More than any other work, this book affords new insights into Arapaho language
and culture. It expands the Arapaho lexicon, discusses Arapaho values and ethos,
and offers a uniquely informed perspective on Arapaho storytelling. An unparalleled
work of recovery and preservation, it will at once become the reference guide to the
Arapaho language and its texts.
Andrew Cowell is Professor and Chair of Linguistics and the Department of French
and Italian at the University of Colorado, Boulder. He is an expert on the Arapaho
language and author of numerous books and articles, including Remedies for a
New West: Healing Landscapes, Histories, and Cultures (ed. with Patricia Nelson
Limerick and Sharon Collinge) and The Arapaho Language (with Alonzo Moss,
Sr.). Alonzo Moss, Sr., is a cochair of the Northern Arapaho Language and Culture
Commission in Wyoming. William J. C’Hair is a cochair of the Northern Arapaho
Language and Culture Commission in Wyoming.

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 affliations. 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 frst books to focus exclusively on Indigenous women’s poetry, Creative
Alliances flls 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-frst century.
McGlennen considers celebrated Native poets such as Kimberly Blaeser, Ester
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
“nonliterary” forums. Through this work McGlennen reveals how poetry becomes
a tool for navigating through the dislocations of urban life, disenrollment, diaspora,
migration, and queer identities. McGlennen’s Native American Studies approach
is inherently interdisciplinary. Combining creative and critical language, she
demonstrates the way in which women use poetry not only to preserve and transfer
Indigenous knowledge but also to speak to one another across colonial and tribal
divisions. In the literary spaces of anthologies and collections and across social media
and spoken-word events, Indigenous women poets are mapping cooperative alliances.
In doing so, they are actively determining their relationship to their nations and to
other Indigenous peoples in uncompromised and uncompromising ways.
Molly McGlennen is Assistant Professor of English and Native American Studies at
Vassar College in New York. She is the author of articles focused on Native American
women’s poetry and a collection of poetry, Like Fried Fish and Flour Biscuits.

Progressive Traditions
Identity in Cherokee Literature and Culture
By Joshua B. Nelson
According to a dichotomy commonly found in studies of American Indians, some
noble Native people defantly 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 identifcations, 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
fnds ample evidence that tradition can survive through times of radical change:
Cherokees do their cultural work both in progressively traditional and traditionally
progressive ways. Studying individuals previously deemed either “traditional” or
“assimilationist,” Nelson presents a more nuanced interpretation. Among the works
he examines are the political rhetoric of Elias Boudinot, a forefather of American
Indian literature, and of John Ross, the principal chief during the Removal years;
the understudied memoirs of Catharine Brown, a nineteenth-century Cherokee
convert to Christianity; and the novel Kholvn, by contemporary traditionalist
Sequoyah Guess, a writer of peculiarly Cherokee science fction.
Across several genres—including autobiography, fction, speeches, laws, and
letters—Progressive Traditions identifes an “indigenous anarchism,” a pluralist,
community-centered political philosophy that looks to practices that preceded and
surpass the nation-state as ways of helping Cherokee people prosper. This critique
of the common call for expansion of tribal nations’ sovereignty over their citizens
represents a profound shift in American Indian critical theory and challenges
contemporary indigenous people to rethink power among nations, communities,
and individuals.
Joshua B. Nelson is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Oklahoma.
A citizen of the Cherokee Nation, he has published a number of articles and book
chapters on American Indian literature and flm.

The Great Medicine Road, Part 1
Narratives of the Oregon, California, and
Mormon Trails, 1840–1848
Edited by Michael L. Tate
With Will Bagley and Richard Rieck
Between 1841 and 1866, more than 500,000 people followed trails to Oregon,
California, and the Salt Lake Valley in one of the greatest mass migrations in
American history. This collection of travelers’ accounts of their journeys in the
1840s, the frst volume in a new series of trail narratives, comprises excerpts
from pioneer and missionary letters, diaries, journals, and memoirs—many
previously unpublished—accompanied by biographical information and historical
background.
Beginning with Father Pierre-Jean de Smet’s letters relating his encounters with
Plains Indians, and ending with an account of a Mormon gold miner’s journey
from California to Salt Lake City, these narratives tell varied and vivid stories.
Some travelers fed hard times: religious persecution, the collapse of the agricultural
economy, illness, or unpredictable weather. Others looked ahead, attracted by
California gold, the verdant Willamette Valley of Oregon, or the prospect of
converting Native people to Christianity. Although many welcomed the adventure
and adjusted to the rigors of trail life, others complained in their accounts of
diffculty adapting.
Remembrances of the Oregon, California, and Mormon Trails have yielded some of
the most iconic images in American history. This and forthcoming volumes in The
Great Medicine Road series present the pioneer spirit of the original overlanders
supported by the rich scholarship of the past century and a half.

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-frst 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. Rail access spurred the growth of a
modern municipal infrastructure, from paved streets and streetcars to waterworks,
and made Fort Worth the transportation hub of the Southwest. Although the Panic
of 1893 marked another setback, the arrival of Armour and Swift in 1903 turned
the city’s fortunes once again by expanding its cattle-based economy to include
meatpacking.
With a rich array of data, Fort Worth documents the changes wrought upon
Fort Worth’s economy in succeeding years by packinghouses and military bases,
the discovery of oil and the growth of a notorious vice district, Hell’s Half Acre.
Throughout, Rich notes the social trends woven inextricably into this economic
history and details the machinations of municipal politics and personalities that
give the story of Fort Worth its unique character. The frst thoroughly researched
economic history of the city’s early years in more than fve decades, this book will
be an invaluable resource for anyone interested in Fort Worth, urban history and
municipal development, or the history of Texas and the West.
Harold Rich received his Ph.D. in history from Texas Christian University and
taught history at Tarrant County College in Fort Worth, Texas. His articles have
appeared in the West Texas Historical Association Yearbook and the East Texas
Historical Journal.

Discovering Texas History
Edited by Bruce A. Glasrud, Light Townsend Cummins, and Cary D. Wintz
The most comprehensive and up-to-date guide to Texas historiography of the
past quarter-century, this volume of original essays will be an invaluable resource
and defnitive reference for teachers, students, and researchers of Texas history.
Conceived as a follow-up to the award-winning A Guide to the History of Texas
(1988), Discovering Texas History focuses on the major trends in the study of Texas
history since 1990.
In two sections, arranged topically and chronologically, some of the most prominent
authors in the feld survey the major works and most signifcant interpretations
in the historical literature. Topical essays take up historical themes ranging from
Native Americans, Mexican Americans, African Americans, and women in Texas
to European immigrant history; literature, the visual arts, and music in the state;
and urban and military history. Chronological essays cover the full span of Texas
historiography from the Spanish era through the Civil War, to the Progressive Era
and World Wars I and II, and fnally to the early twenty-frst century.
Critical commentary on particular books and articles is the unifying purpose
of these contributions, whose authors focus on analyzing and summarizing the
subjects that have captured the attention of professional historians in recent years.
Together the essays gathered here will constitute the standard reference on Texas
historiography for years to come, guiding readers and researchers to future, ever
deeper discoveries in the history of Texas.

Manifest Destinations
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
Pacifc and Central Pacifc 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 effcient business operations and architectural grandeur prevailed—all
now easily accessible thanks to the relative comfort of transcontinental rail travel.
Yet as people focked 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
and 1893, a period of rapid urbanization and accelerated modernity. Gruen pays
particular attention to the contrast between the way these cities were promoted and
the way visitors actually experienced them.
Guidebooks made Chicago, Denver, Salt Lake City, and San Francisco seem like
picturesque environments sprinkled with civilized buildings and refned people. But
Gruen’s research in diaries, letters, and traveler narratives shows that tourists were
interested—as tourists usually are—in the unexpected encounters that characterize
city life. Visitors relished the cities’ unfamiliar storefronts and advertising, public
transit systems, ethnic diversity, and multiple dwellings in all their urban messiness.
They thrust themselves into the noise, danger, and cacophony. Western cities did not
always live up to the marketing strategies of guidebooks, but the western cities’ fast
pace and many novelties held extraordinary appeal to visitors from the East Coast
and abroad.
In recounting lively anecdotes, and by focusing on tourist perceptions of everyday
life in western cities, Gruen shows how these cities developed the economy of
tourism to eventually encompass both the urban and the natural West.
J. Philip Gruen is Associate Professor in the School of Design and Construction
at Washington State University, Pullman. He is the author of numerous published
articles in American urban history, architecture, and tourism.

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 frst 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 frst acts of the new state legislature was to guarantee
that depositors in state-chartered banks would never lose a penny. Meanwhile, land
and oil speculators and the bankers who funded their dreams were elevating get-
rich-quick (and often get-poor-quick) schemes to an art form. In defense of country
banks, the Oklahoma Bankers Association dispatched armed vigilantes to stop
robbers in their tracks.
Subsequent developments in Oklahoma banking include adaptation to regulations
spawned by the Great Depression, the post–World War II boom, the 1980s
depression in the oil patch, and changes fostered by rapid-fre advances in
technology and communication. The demise of Penn Square Bank offers one of
history’s few unambiguous lessons, and it warrants two chapters—one on the rise,
and one on the fall. Increasing regulation of the banking industry, the survival of
family banks, and the resilience of community banking are consistent themes in a
state that is only a few generations removed from the frontier.
Michael J. Hightower is an independent historian and principal researcher for
the Oklahoma Bank and Commerce History Project of the Oklahoma Historical
Society. He is the author of Inventing Tradition: Cowboy Sports in a Postmodern
Age. Frank Keating served as the twenty-ffth governor of Oklahoma (1995–2003)
and is currently president and CEO of the American Bankers Association in
Washington, D.C.

Black Spokane
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 frst 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
community. Drawing on oral histories, interviews, newspapers, and a rich array of
other primary sources, Mack sets the stage for the years following World War II in
the Inland Northwest, when an infux of black veterans would bring about a new
era of racial issues. His book traces the earliest challenges faced by the NAACP and
a small but sympathetic white population as Spokane became a signifcant part of
the national civil rights struggle. International superstars such as Louis “Satchmo”
Armstrong and Hazel Scott fgure in this story, along with charismatic local
preachers, entrepreneurs, and lawyers who stepped forward as civic leaders.
These individuals’ contributions, and the black community’s encounters with
racism, offer a view of the complexity of race relations in a city and a region not
recognized historically as centers of racial strife. But in matters of race—from the
frst migration of black settlers to Spokane, through the politics of the Cold War
and the civil rights movement, to the successes of the 1970s and ’80s—Mack shows
that Spokane has a story to tell, one that this book at long last incorporates into the
larger history of twentieth-century America.
Dwayne A. Mack is Carter G. Woodson Chair in Africa American History and
Associate Professor of History at Berea College as well as author of numerous
articles on African American history.

Festivals and Daily Life in the Arts
of Colonial Latin America
Papers from the 2012 Mayer Center Symposium
at the Denver Art Museum
Edited by Donna Pierce
The Denver Art Museum held a symposium in 2012 hosted by the Frederick and
Jan Mayer Center for Pre-Columbian and Spanish Colonial Art. The museum
assembled an international group of scholars specializing in the arts and history
of colonial Latin America to present recent research with topics ranging from
ephemeral architecture, painting, and sculpture to engravings, decorative arts,
costumes and clothing of the period. This volume presents revised and expanded
versions of papers presented at the symposium.
Barbara Mundy (Fordham University) opens the volume with a discussion of pre-
Columbian dance festivals and their associated costumes and accoutrements, their
continuation and reinterpretation in colonial Mexico, and their remaining vestiges
in modern times. Gustavo Curiel (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México)
examines mourning ceremonies and ephemeral monuments executed in Mexico
City to commemorate the 1665 death of Philip IV. Beatriz Berndt (Universidad
Nacional Autónoma de México) analyzes extant engravings, written descriptions,
and political motivations in the ephemeral façade designed to celebrate the
enthronement of Charles IV in Mexico City in 1789. Frances Ramos (University of
South Florida) explores celebrations and artworks in honor of Saint Joseph in the
city of Puebla, Mexico. Kelly Donahue-Wallace (University of North Texas) closes
the festival section with a discussion of ephemeral structures and public art works
under the direction of the newly-founded Royal Academy of Art of San Carlos in
the late colonial era.
Jorge Rivas (Colección Cisneros, Caracas) begins the discussion of daily life by
presenting recent research on a uniquely American furniture form, the butaca (easy)
chair, tracing its origins in Venezuela and its eventual spread throughout pan-
Caribbean Latin America. Susan Socolow (Emory University) examines women’s
quotidian clothing in colonial Argentina based on documentary evidence found
in travelers’ descriptions and extant estate inventories. Alexandra Troya-Kennedy
(Universidad de Cuenca, Ecuador) closes the volume by tracing Ecuadorian
costumbrista images of daily life from their origin in colonial-era Enlightenment
discourse to their production for the tourist market and use by politicians in the
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Donna Pierce is the Frederick and Jan Mayer Curator of Spanish Colonial Art at
the Denver Art Museum.

Women in Ancient America
Second Edition
By Karen Olsen Bruhns and Karen E. Stothert
This new edition of Women in Ancient America draws on recent advances in the
archaeology of gender to reexamine the activities, roles, and relationships of women
in the prehistoric Native societies of North, Central, and South America.
Women—and women’s work—have been crucial to the survival and success of
American peoples since ancient times. And as hunting and foraging societies
developed farming techniques and eventually created permanent settlements,
women’s roles changed. Karen Olsen Bruhns and Karen E. Stothert consider the
various economic adaptations that followed, as well as the ways in which women
participated in food production and the specialized industries of their societies.
They also look at women’s access to power, both political and religious, paying
particular attention to the place of priestesses and goddesses in the spiritual life of
ancient peoples.
The narrative that unfolds in Women in Ancient America is based on the most
recent research, using evidence and examples from a wide range of cultures dating
from the Paleoindian period to European invasion. This book, unlike others, treats
many different types of societies, as the authors develop arguments sure to provoke
thinking about the lives of women who inhabited the Americas in the distant past.
Karen Olsen Bruhns is Professor Emerita of Anthropology at San Francisco State
University and author of Ancient South America. Karen E. Stothert is Anthropology
Research Associate at the University of Texas, San Antonio, and author of more
than 75 monographs and scientifc papers based on her own anthropological and
archaeological research.

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 defnes 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. These grammatical entities evolved,
McMenomy asserts, from their common Indo-European ancestors as tools for the
expression of meaning, and the continuity of an idea can often be traced through
these structures. Accordingly, he examines the elements of English, Latin, and
Greek syntax together, exploring how their similarities and differences can disclose
something of their underlying rationale.
With abundant examples from English as well as Latin and Greek, McMenomy
considers the grammatical cases of the noun, and the tenses, moods, and aspects of
a verb. In an engaging and accessible manner, McMenomy helps to rationalize the
apparent inconsistencies between Latin and Greek and makes the mastery of Latin
and Greek constructions that much more meaningful, reasonable, and likely.
Bruce A. McMenomy is an independent scholar who holds a Ph.D. in classics from
the University of California–Los Angeles. He teaches English, Latin, and Greek
through Scholars Online, a nonproft educational corporation.

HWINNER, OUTSTANDING BOOK ON WILD WEST HISTORY
WILD WEST HISTORY ASSOCIATION
HWINNER, INTERNATIONAL LATINO BOOK AWARDS—BEST BIOGRAPHY
Tiburcio Vasquez is, next to Joaquin Murrieta, America’s most
infamous Hispanic bandit. When he was hanged as a murderer
in 1875, the Chicago Tribune called him “the most noted
desperado of modern times.” Yet his life story is shrouded in
myth and mystery: Was he a thief and heartless killer, or a
Mexican American Robin Hood who suffered at the hands of
a racist government? In Bandido, John Boessenecker provides
defnitive answers.
Boessenecker traces Vasquez’s life from his childhood in
Monterey, to the horse rustling and robbery of his young
outlaw years. Two terms in San Quentin failed to tame
Vasquez, and he instigated four bloody prison breaks that left
twenty convicts dead. After his release, he led bandit raids
throughout Central and Southern California. His dalliances
with women were legion—the last one led to his capture and
death on the gallows at age thirty-nine.
From dusty court records, memoirs, and newspaper archives,
Boessenecker draws a story of violence, banditry, and retribution
on the California frontier that is as accurate as it is colorful.
A San Francisco attorney, John Boessenecker has authored
six books and numerous magazine articles on crime and law
enforcement in the Old West.

“Highly recommended.”—Western Historical Quarterly
Soft-spoken, cheerful, handsome, and well dressed, George West
Musgrave “looked more like a senator than a cattle rustler.” Yet
he was a cattle rustler, as well as a bandit, robber, and killer,
“guilty of more crimes than Billy the Kid was ever accused of.”
Karen Holliday Tanner and John D.Tanner, Jr., recount the
colorful life of Musgrave (1877–1947), enduring badman of the
American Southwest.
Musgrave was a charter member of the High Five or Black Jack
gang—responsible for Arizona’s frst bank hold-up, numerous
post offce and stagecoach robberies, and the largest Santa Fe
Railroad heist in history. Following a decade-long hunt, he was
captured and acquitted of killing a former Texas Ranger. After
his brush with execution, he headed for South America, gaining
fame as the “Gringo rustler.” In the 1940s, Musgrave’s age and
poor health brought an end to his criminal career.
Last of the Old-Time Outlaws incorporates newly discovered
facts about the career of this frontier outlaw, thoroughly
documenting Musgrave’s half-century of crime—from his
childhood in the Texas brush country to his fnal days in Paraguay.
Karen Holliday Tanner is the author of Doc Holliday: A Family
Portrait. She received a Lifetime Achievement Award from
the Wild West History Association. John D. Tanner, Jr., was
Professor of History at Palomar College, San Marcos, California.

“Now you have my travels to Kansas [and] back home. . . .
Hope it will interest some people.” So ends the earliest known
day-by-day journal kept by a cowboy on a cattle drive from
Texas to Kansas following the Civil War. In this rare frsthand
account, Jack Bailey, a North Texas farmer, describes what it
was like to live and work as a cowboy in the southern plains
just after the Civil War.
We travel with Bailey as he encounters Indians, U.S. soldiers,
Mexicans, freed slaves, and cowboys working other drives.
The journal contains surprises for readers steeped in romantic
cowboy lore and cattle drive legend. Bailey’s time on the trail
was hardly lonely, and crews included African Americans and,
at least on the early drives, women and children.
In a thorough introduction, western historian David Dary
establishes Jack Bailey’s identity and puts the journal in
historical context.
Jack Bailey was most likely John W. Bailey (b. 1831), a farmer
from Jack County, Texas. Award-winning writer David Dary
is retired as head of what is now the Gaylord College of
Journalism at the University of Oklahoma. He has published
numerous articles on the Old West and the plains region and
authored eighteen previous books, including Cowboy Culture,
True Tales of the Prairies and Plains, and Frontier Medicine.
Charles P. Schroeder is Executive Director of the National

“Elliott West is the best historian of the American West writing
today.”—Richard White
Scholars and enthusiasts of western American history
have praised Elliott West as a distinguished historian and
an accomplished writer, and this book proves them right.
Capitalizing on West’s wide array of interests, this collection
ranges from viruses and the telegraph to children, bison, and
Larry McMurtry. West weaves the western story into that of the
nation and the world beyond—from Kansas and Montana to
Haiti, Africa, and the court of Louis XV. His humor is a delightful
characteristic of the book, which includes ten previously published
essays, newly revised, and four brand-new ones.
West is well known for his writings about frontier family life,
and fans of his earlier books will relish the stories here. In a
fnal section, he examines the West of myth and imagination.
In essays on buffalo, Jesse James, and Lonesome Dove, Elliot
West directs his formidable powers to subjects that continue to
shape our understanding—and often our misunderstanding—of
the American West, past and present.

“Drawing on his courage, persistence, and wisdom, George
Henderson . . . provides a vivid and engaging account of his
involvement in the struggle for racial equality and integration on
campus.”—Journal of Southern History
In 1967, George Henderson, the son of uneducated Alabama
sharecroppers, accepted a professorship at the University of
Oklahoma, despite his mentor’s warning to avoid the “redneck
school in a backward state.” Henderson became the university’s
third African American professor, a hire that suggested dissolving
racial divides. When real estate agents in Norman denied the family
their frst three home choices, Henderson realized he still faced
formidable challenges.
This stirring memoir recounts Henderson’s formative years at
OU, during the late 1960s and early 1970s. He describes obstacles
African Americans faced within the university community—a place
of “white privilege, black separatism, and campus-wide indifference
to bigotry.” An adviser to black students, Henderson found himself
at the forefront of efforts to improve race relations at the university.
Capturing perhaps the most tumultuous era in the history of
American higher education, Race and the University includes
valuable recollections of former student activists who helped
transform the University of Oklahoma into one of the nation’s most
diverse college campuses.
George Henderson is Professor Emeritus of Human Relations,
Education, and Sociology at the University of Oklahoma, and
former Dean of the College of Liberal Studies. David W. Levy,
retired Professor of History, University of Oklahoma, is the
author of The University of Oklahoma: A History.

“Bottoms brings exploration of Reconstruction and changing
attitudes about race westward. . . . This is a highly interesting
story, and Bottoms tells it well.”—Elliott West, author of The
Essential West: Collected Essays
After supporting the Union in the Civil War, white Californians
confronted a crisis when asked to ratify the proposed
Reconstruction amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Designed
to protect the rights of newly freed slaves in the South, the
provisions threatened to topple the fragile multiracial hierarchy
Anglo-Americans had carefully constructed in California.
Federal solutions to the black-white racial confict in the South
triggered decades of social tumult in California as African
Americans, Chinese, Native Californians, and other racial and
ethnic groups vied for new political privileges.
In An Aristocracy of Color, D. Michael Bottoms shows that
while many white Californians saw Reconstruction legislation
as a threat, nonwhite Californians—blacks and Chinese in
particular—recognized an unprecedented opportunity to reshape
the state’s race relations. Drawing on court records, political
debates, and eyewitness accounts, Bottoms brings to life the
monumental battle that followed—and reverberated in other
state legal systems throughout the West in the mid- to late 1800s
and nationwide in the twentieth century.
D. Michael Bottoms earned his doctorate in United States history
at the University of California–Los Angeles and has taught at
UCLA, the University of Puget Sound, George Mason University,
and, most recently, Whitman College.

In the ffteen years prior to the American Civil War, the U.S.
Army established a presence in southern New Mexico, the
homeland of Mescalero, Mimbres, and Mogollon bands of
the Apache Indians. From the army’s perspective, the Apaches
presented an obstacle to be overcome in making the region—
newly acquired in the Mexican-American War—safe for
Anglo settlers. In Dragoons in Apacheland, William S. Kiser
recounts the conficts that ensued and examines how both
Apache warriors and American troops shaped the future of the
Southwest Borderlands.
Kiser narrates two distinct contests. The Apaches were
defending their territory against the encroachment of
soldiers and settlers. At the same time, the Anglo-Americans
maneuvered against one another in a competition for political
and economic power and for Apache territory. Kiser details the
experiences of the First and Second United States Dragoons,
elite mounted troops better equipped to confront Apache
guerrilla warriors, who fought desperately to protect their
lands and way of life.
Kiser’s insights into the pre–Civil War conficts in southern
New Mexico are essential to a deeper understanding of the
larger U.S.-Apache war that culminated in the heroic resistance
of Cochise, Victorio, and Geronimo.
William S. Kiser is author of Turmoil on the Rio Grande: The
Territorial History of the Mesilla Valley, 1846–1865.

“A standard reference book for every student of the Little Big
Horn.”—Battlefeld Dispatch
Almost as soon as the last shot was fred in the Battle of the
Little Bighorn, the battlefeld became an archaeological site.
For many years afterward, as fascination with the famed 1876
fght intensifed, visitors to the area scavenged the many relics
left behind. But it took decades before researchers began to
tease information from the battle’s debris—and the new feld of
battlefeld archaeology began to emerge. In Uncovering History,
renowned archaeologist Douglas D. Scott offers a comprehensive
account of investigations at the Little Bighorn, from the earliest
collecting efforts to early-twentieth-century fndings.
Scott describes how analysis of specifc detritus at the Little
Bighorn—such as cartridge cases, fragments of camping
equipment and clothing, and skeletal remains—allows
researchers to reconstruct and reinterpret the history of
the confict. And he demonstrates how major advances in
technology, such as metal detection and GPS, have expanded
the capabilities of battlefeld archaeologists to uncover new
evidence and analyze it with greater accuracy.
Uncovering History expands our understanding of the battle,
its protagonists, and the enduring legacy of the battlefeld as a
national memorial.
Douglas D. Scott, Adjunct Professor of Anthropology, University
of Nebraska–Lincoln, is the author or coauthor of numerous
publications, including They Died with Custer: Soldiers’ Bones
from the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Bob Reece is President of
the Friends of the Little Bighorn Battlefeld.

“Peppered with fascinating accounts of battles, military life,
and glimpses into the participants’ innermost thoughts.”—
Kansas History
In 1862, Minnesotans found themselves fghting interconnected
wars—the frst against the rebellious Southern states, the
second an internal war against the Dakota Sioux. While the
Civil War would decide the future of the United States, the
Dakota War of 1862 proved more destructive to the people
of Minnesota—both whites and American Indians. It led to
U.S. military action against the Sioux, divided the Dakotas
over whether to fght, and left hundreds of white settlers dead.
Columns of Vengeance reappraises the U.S. Army’s response to
the Dakota War, the Punitive Expeditions of 1863 and 1864.
Previous accounts approach the Punitive Expeditions as
a campaign of the Indian Wars, but Paul N. Beck argues
that Civil War strategy and tactics directly affected military
action in the West. Beck reveals the devastating impact the
expeditions had on the Sioux. Whites viewed the campaign as
punishment—“columns of vengeance” against the Dakotas—
yet most of the Sioux the army encountered had nothing to do
with the 1862 uprising.
Drawing on letters, diaries, and personal accounts of common
soldiers in the expeditions and rare personal narratives from
the Dakotas, Columns of Vengeance offers fresh insight into
U.S. military operations against the Sioux.
Paul N. Beck is Professor of History at Wisconsin Lutheran
College, Milwaukee, and author of Inkpaduta: Dakota Leader.

“A welcome addition to any library on the history of the
West.”—Great Plains Quarterly
They called themselves Dakota, but the explorers and fur traders
who frst encountered these people in the sixteenth century
referred to them as Sioux, a corruption of the name their
enemies called them. That linguistic dissonance foreshadowed
a series of bloodier conficts between Sioux warriors and the
American military in the mid-nineteenth century.
Doreen Chaky offers the frst complete narrative history of the
combat on the Upper Missouri in the 1850s and 1860s, the
period bookended by the Sioux’s frst major military clashes with
the U.S. Army and the creation of the Great Sioux Reservation.
Chaky reveals how northern, southern, and Minnesota Sioux
all became involved in the U.S. invasion, and she ties Upper
Missouri and Minnesota Sioux history to better-known Oglala
and Brulé Sioux history.
Terrible Justice uses soldiers’ letters and journals, military and
other offcial communications, and the speeches of Sioux leaders
to illuminate the complex dynamics of this high-stakes contest
between cultures with diametrically opposed concepts of justice.
Doreen Chaky is a freelance journalist and independent scholar.
She resides in Williston, North Dakota.

“A signifcant—and readable—book.”—Robert M. Utley,
Western Historical Quarterly
In Indians and Emigrants, the frst book to focus on relations
between Indians and emigrants on the overland trails, Michael
L. Tate shows that their encounters were far more often
characterized by cooperation than by confict. Combing
hundreds of unpublished sources and Indian oral traditions,
Tate fnds that Indians and Anglo-Americans continuously
traded goods and news, and Indians provided various forms of
assistance to overlanders. Both sides normally followed their
own best interests and ethics, sometimes creating distrust. But
many acts of kindness—by emigrants and Indians—can be
attributed to simple human compassion.
In the mid-1850s, Plains tribes began to see their independence
and traditions threatened by the food of white travelers. As
buffalo herds dwindled and Indians died from diseases brought
by emigrants, violent clashes between wagon trains and Indians
became more frequent, and the frst Anglo-Indian wars erupted
on the plains. Yet, even in the 1860s, most encounters were
friendly.
Despite thousands of benefcial exchanges between whites and
Indians between 1840 and 1870, the image of Plains Indians
as the overland pioneers’ worst enemies prevails in American
popular culture. Tate seeks to dispel that stereotype.
Michael L. Tate is Chair of Graduate Studies and Professor
of History and Native American Studies at the University of
Nebraska, Omaha, and the author of The Frontier Army in the
Settlement of the West.

At the 1768 Treaty of Fort Stanwix, the British secured
the largest land cession in colonial North America. Crown
representatives gained possession of an area claimed but not
occupied by the Iroquois that encompassed parts of New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia. The Iroquois,
however, were far from naïve—and the outcome was not an
instance of their simply being dispossessed. In Speculators in
Empire, William J. Campbell examines the diplomacy, land
speculation, and empire building that led to the treaty. His
detailed study overturns assumptions about the Iroquois and
British on the eve of the American Revolution.
Through the treaty, the Iroquois directed the expansion of
empire to serve their own needs, while Crown negotiators
obtained more territory than they were authorized to accept.
Campbell unravels complex intercultural negotiations in
which colonial offcials, land speculators, traders, tribes, and
individual Indians pursued a variety of agendas, with each
side possessing considerable understanding of the other’s
expectations and intentions.
Historians credit British Indian superintendent Sir William
Johnson with pulling off the land grab, but Campbell shows
that Johnson was one of many players. Speculators in Empire
shows that colonial and Native history are unavoidably
entwined—and even interdependent.
William J. Campbell is Assistant Professor of History at
California State University, Chico, and author of numerous
articles on early North American, Native, and Canadian
history.

During the 1960s, American Indian youth were swept up in
a movement called Red Power—a civil rights struggle fueled
by intertribal activism. While some defne the movement as
militant and others see it as peaceful, there is one common
assumption about its history: Red Power began with the Indian
takeover of Alcatraz in 1969. Or did it?
In this groundbreaking book, Bradley G. Shreve sets the record
straight by tracing the origins of Red Power further back in
time: to the student activism of the National Indian Youth
Council (NIYC), founded in Gallup, New Mexico, in 1961.
Unlike other 1960s and ’70s activist groups that challenged
the fundamental beliefs of their predecessors, the students who
established the NIYC were determined to uphold the cultures
and ideals of their elders. Their cornerstone principles of tribal
sovereignty, self-determination, treaty rights, and cultural
preservation helped ensure their survival, for unlike other
activist groups, the NIYC is still in operation today.
By uncovering the origins of Red Power, Shreve writes an
important new chapter in the history of American Indian activism.
Bradley G. Shreve is Managing Editor of the Tribal College
Journal, a publication of the American Indian Higher
Education Consortium. Shirley Hill Witt is a founder and
former vice president of the National Indian Youth Council. A

The only comprehensive introduction designed specifcally for
those new to the study, Translating Maya Hieroglyphs uses
a hands-on, step-by-step approach to teach readers how to
translate ancient Maya glyphs.
Scott A. J. Johnson describes how to break down a Mayan text
into individual glyphs in the correct reading order, and then
explains the different types of glyphs and how they function
in the script. Finally, he shows how to systematically convert a
Mayan inscription into modern English. More than a reference,
this volume functions as an introductory foreign-language
textbook. Chapters cover spelling, dates and numbers, basic
grammar, and verbs, while worksheets and exercises reinforce
the material. Helpful appendices provide quick reference to
vocabulary, glyph meanings, and calendrical data. Glyph blocks
and phrases drawn from actual monuments illustrate the variety
and scribal virtuosity of Maya writing.
Scholars have made great strides in deciphering hieroglyphs in
the past four decades. Translating Maya Hieroglyphs brings this
knowledge to a broader audience, including archaeologists and
budding epigraphers.

Victory at Peleliu
The 81st Infantry Division’s
Pacific Campaign
By Bobby C. Blair and John
Peter DeCioccio
The 1st Marine Division’s invasion and
capture of Peleliu in the South Pacifc in
September 1944 took two months and
involved some of the bloodiest fghting of the
Second World War in the Pacifc. But after
the 1st Marines were evacuated, the 81st
Infantry Division secured the island. Previous
battle accounts focused on the 1st Marines.
Victory at Peleliu demonstrates that without
the 81st’s help, the marines could not have
succeeded. Allowing the veterans they
interviewed to tell the story, Bobby C. Blair
and John Peter DeCioccio give a human face
to a brutal battle.
Bobby C. Blair, an independent researcher
and writer, is retired from Phillips
Petroleum Company and now lives in
Shawnee, Oklahoma. John Peter DeCioccio
(1948–2004) began the research for this
book and interviewed most of the veterans.
He worked in broadcast journalism and

Napoleon and Berlin
The Franco-Prussian War in
North Germany, 1813
By Michael V. Leggiere
In Napoleon and Berlin, Michael V. Leggiere
explores Napoleon’s almost obsessive desire
to capture Berlin, a strategy that ultimately
lost him all of Germany. Napoleon may
have hoped to cripple Prussia’s war-making
capacity and morale, but the heavy losses
and strategic reverses for the French left
Napoleon’s Grande Armèe vulnerable to
an Allied coalition that eventually drove
Napoleon from Central Europe forever.
Napoleon and Berlin shows that Prussia’s
victory over the French decisively contributed
to Napoleon’s defeat in 1813 and helped
make future Prussian and German armies the
envy of the world.
Michael V. Leggiere, Associate Professor and
Deputy Director, Military History Center,
University of North Texas, is the author of
Blücher: Scourge of Napoleon. He received
the Legion of Merit Award for Outstanding
Contributions to Napoleonic Studies from La

No Turning Point
The Saratoga Campaign in Perspective
By Theodore Corbett
Historians have seen British general John
Burgoyne’s surrender at the conclusion of
the Battle of Saratoga in 1777 as a turning
point in the American Revolution, because it
convinced France to join the colonies in the
war, ensuring American victory. Theodore
Corbett here reveals that Saratoga and its
aftermath were part of ongoing conficts
among the settlers of New York, Canada,
and Vermont. Corbett considers not only
enlisted Patriot and Redcoat soldiers but also
landowners, tenant farmers, townspeople,
American Indians, Loyalists, and African
Americans. Ethnic and religious strife and
conficting land claims by New York and
New Hampshire marked relations among the
colonists. No Turning Point complicates—and
enriches—our understanding of the diffcult
birth of the United States as a nation.
Theodore Corbett has taught American and
British history. He is the author of A Clash
of Cultures on the Warpath of Nations: The
Colonial Wars in the Hudson-Champlain
Valley and Revolutionary New Castle: The
Struggle for Independence.
