The Airline Passenger Experience
By Daniel L. Rust
Americans who now endure the inconveniences of crowded airports, packed air-
planes, and missed connections might not realize that flying was once an elegant,
exhilarating adventure. In this colorful history, Daniel L. Rust traces the evolution
of commercial air travel from the first transcontinental expeditions of the 1920s,
through the luxurious airline environments of the 1960s, to the more hectic, fatiguing
experiences of flying in the post-9/11 era.
In the beginning, flying coast-to-coast was an exciting yet uncomfortable journey of

nearly forty-eight hours that required numerous stops and overnight travel by train.
With time and technical innovation, passengers became increasingly removed both
physically and psychologically from the raw experience of flying. Faster planes, pres- May
surized cabins, onboard amenities, and stronger safety precautions made flying more $45.00 Cloth 978-0-8061-3870-1

convenient and predictable—but also less evocative and sensational.

U.S. History
Prior to the 1980s, Americans dressed for air travel in their formal best and enjoyed
such luxurious onboard amenities as delicious meals and ample cabin space. What
made air travel glamorous, however, also made it more expensive. With deregulation
in 1978, cost reductions reduced flying to a more tedious and, after 9/11, more regi-
mented experience.
Rust’s narrative brims with firsthand accounts

from such celebrities as Will Rogers and from or-
dinary Americans. Enlivened by more than 100
illustrations, including vintage brochures, post-
ers, and photographs, Flying Across America re-
minds today’s airline passengers of what they have
gained—and what they have lost—in the transcon-
tinental flying experience.

for Transportation Studies at the University of

Art/American West
From early explorers’ first sketches of the
Rockies to the modern earth sculptures of
Michael Heizer, images of the American
West are as multifaceted as its cultures.
This remarkable book embraces them all.
A landmark overview of western American art, the original edition of The West
of the Imagination brought the region to wide public attention as a companion
to a popular PBS series of the same name. This book, significantly expanded and
updated, shows that the West is a vibrant mirror of American cultural diversity.
Through 450 illustrations—more than 300 in color—the authors trace the visual
evolution of the myth of the American West, from unknown frontier to repository
of American values, covering popular and high arts alike.
An unrivaled survey, The West of the Imagination is an immensely informative and

pleasurable volume for anyone with an interest in the region’s creative legacy.

Going Green
True Tales from Gleaners, Scavengers, and Dumpster Divers
Edited by Laura Pritchett
Never mind the Ph.D. and middle-class trappings—Laura Pritchett is a Dumpster
diver and proud of it. Ever since she was old enough to navigate the contents of a
metal bin, she has reveled in the treasures found in other people’s cast-offs.
For Going Green, Pritchett has gathered the work of more than twenty writers to tell
their personal stories of Dumpster diving, eating road kill, salvaging plastic from the
beach, and forgoing another trip to the mall for the thrill of bargain hunting at yard
sales and flea markets. These stories look not just at the many ways people glean but
also at the larger, thornier issues dealing with what re-using—or not—says about our
culture and priorities.

Travels in Colorado Then and Now
By Robert Root
A world traveler, Isabella Bird recorded her 1873 visit to Colorado Territory in her
classic travel narrative, A Lady’s Life in the Rocky Mountains. This work inspired
Robert Root’s own discovery of Colorado’s Front Range following his move from
the flatlands of Michigan. In this elegantly written book, Root retraces Bird’s three-
month journey, seeking to understand what Colorado meant to her—and what it
would come to mean for him.
Following Isabella is a work of intersecting histories. Root interweaves an overview

of Bird’s life and work with regional history, nature writing, and his own travels to
produce a uniquely informative and entertaining narrative. He probes Bird’s self-
transformation as her writing moved from private letters to published books, and
also draws on reflections of other authors of her day, including Grace Greenwood
and Helen Hunt Jackson. Like Bird, Root experiences his most fulfilling moments in
the mountains, climbing formidable Longs Peak, living alone in the cabin of famed
editor William Allen White, and wandering wild landscapes.

Hero Street, U.S.A.

The Story of Little Mexico’s Fallen Soldiers
By Marc Wilson
Claro Solis wanted to win a gold star for his mother. He succeeded—as did seven
other sons of “Little Mexico.”
Second Street in Silvis, Illinois, was a poor neighborhood during the Great Depres-
sion that had become home to Mexicans fleeing revolution in their homeland. In
1971 it was officially renamed “Hero Street” to commemorate its claim to the highest
per-capita casualty rate from any neighborhood during World War II. Marc Wilson
now tells the story of this community and the young men it sent to fight for their
adopted country.
Hero Street, U.S.A. is the first book to recount a saga too long overlooked in histories
and television documentaries. Interweaving family memories, soldiers’ letters, his-
torical photographs, interviews with relatives, and firsthand combat accounts, Wil-
son tells the compelling stories of nearly eighty men from three dozen Second Street
May homes who volunteered to fight for their country in World War II and Korea—and of

As debate swirls around the place of Mexican immigrants in contemporary American
society, this book shows the price of citizenship willingly paid by the sons of ear-

contribution to military and social history but also acknowledges the efforts of the
heroes of Second Street to realize the American dream.

One set of signature views contained numerous brightly lit tepees, rendered so that Photography/American West
the great circular Blackfeet encampment “looked like an enormous group of coloured
Japanese lanterns.” His pictures, the photographer claimed, “were not posed” but
were instead “of real life.” In truth, McClintock’s photographs captured the attire
and activities of the Blackfeet during the few weeks each year when they actively
celebrated their old ways. Rather than recording day-to-day reservation life, they
instead revealed the photographer’s own romantic ideals and nostalgic longing.

Amber Waves and Undertow

Peril, Hope, Sweat, and Downright Nonchalance in
Dry Wheat Country
By Steve Turner
Adams County, Washington, is home to farmlands on the Columbia Plateau that
produce more crops than might be expected of its semiarid soils. But while unique
in its geography and history, it also faces many of the problems confronting farmers
throughout rural America.
Seasoned journalist Steve Turner, having spent time in Adams County as a young
harvest hand, returned to the region to portray farm life and history in a land where
change is a subtle but powerful constant. Amber Waves and Undertow interweaves
family narratives, historical episodes, and Turner’s own experiences to illuminate the
transformation of rural America from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century.
Whether distilling the lore of wheat and potato agriculture or describing action at a

In the mode of John McPhee and Wendell Berry, Turner’s lyrical prose conveys his

Our Better Nature

Environment and the Making of San Francisco
By Philip J. Dreyfus
Few cities are so dramatically identified with their environment as San Francisco—
the landscape of hills, the expansive bay, the engulfing fog, and even the deadly fault
line shifting below. Yet most residents think of the city itself as separate from the
natural environment on which it depends. In Our Better Nature, Philip J. Dreyfus
recounts the history of San Francisco from Indian village to world-class metropolis,
focusing on the interactions between the city and the land and on the generations
of people who have transformed them both. Dreyfus examines the ways that San
Franciscans remade the landscape to fit their needs, and how their actions reflected
and affected their ideas about nature, from the destruction of wetlands and forests to
the creation of Golden Gate and Yosemite parks, the Sierra Club, and later, the birth
of the modern environmental movement.
Today, many San Franciscans seek to strengthen the ties between cities and nature by
pursuing more sustainable and ecologically responsible ways of life. Consistent with april

Jedediah Smith
No Ordinary Mountain Man
By Barton H. Barbour
Mountain man and fur trader Jedediah Smith casts a heroic shadow. He was the first
Anglo-American to travel overland to California via the Southwest, and he roamed
through more of the West than anyone else of his era. His adventures quickly became
the stuff of legend. Using new information and sifting fact from folklore, Barton H.
Barbour now offers a fresh look at this dynamic figure.
Barbour tells how a youthful Smith was influenced by notable men who were his
family’s neighbors, including a member of the Lewis and Clark expedition. When
he was twenty-three, hard times leavened with wanderlust set him on the road west.
Barbour delves into Smith’s journals to a greater extent than previous scholars and
teases out compelling insights into the trader’s itineraries and personality. Use of
an important letter Smith wrote late in life deepens the author’s perspective on the
legendary trapper. Through Smith’s own voice, this larger-than-life hero is shown to

Fisher and Bowers Agnes Lake Hickok

Agnes L ake Hickok
Queen of the Circus, Wife of a Legend
By Linda A. Fisher and Carrie Bowers
The first woman in America to own and operate a circus, Agnes Lake spent thirty
years under the Big Top before becoming the wife of Wild Bill Hickok—a mere five
months before he was killed. Although books abound on the famous lawman, Ag-
nes’s life has remained obscured by circus myth and legend.
Linda A. Fisher and Carrie Bowers have written the first biography of this colorful
but little-known circus performer. Agnes originally found fame as a slack-wire walker
and horseback rider, and later as an animal trainer. Her circus career spanned more
than four decades. Following the murder of her first husband, Bill Lake, she was the
sole manager of the “Hippo-Olympiad and Mammoth Circus.” While taking her
show to Abilene, she met town marshal Hickok and five years later she married him.
After Hickok’s death, Agnes traveled with P. T. Barnum and Buffalo Bill Cody, and
managed her daughter Emma Lake’s successful equestrian career. March

Despite their penchant for shielding their lifestyle from others, in 2004 and 2005 the
Gypsies welcomed John S. Hockensmith and his camera into their midst. In a rare
leap into another world, Hockensmith traveled as a guest of prominent Gypsy fami-
lies on the back roads and highways leading to Appleby and recorded the drama of
the gathering of people and horses as can be seen only from inside this guarded clan.
Hockensmith’s vivid photography, lively prose, and visceral poetry are infused with
both the joys and hardships of this unique culture. Gypsy Horses and the Travelers’
Way provides a bridge to another way of life that allows readers to experience some

development of the United States.
Gracing these pages are stunning full-color photographs of modern horses that carry
the distinctive traits of their Spanish, Arab, and Barb forebears. Captured visually in
the rugged Rocky Mountains or the rolling grassy plains of the West, these horses
are our shared living legacy. From the tender private moments between mare and foal
to the aggressive determination of clashing stallions, Hockensmith throws open a
breathtaking window on these horses’ lives.
Given the ongoing debate about the future of North America’s wild horses, many of
which trace their ancestry to Spanish steeds and the early mustangs, this work will
stand as a significant marker on the mutual path traveled by horse and human.

The Artist’s Muse
By Natasha K. Brandstatter, Meredith M. Evans, Peter H. Hassrick,

With its vast prairies and impressive mountains, Colorado has been a mecca for
painters since the beginning of the nineteenth century. This latest volume in the Den-
ver Art Museum’s Western Passages series celebrates a diverse group of painters who
found special allegiance to the Rockies and to the human history of Colorado.
Many who ventured into Colorado in the 1800s sought inspiration in the land. The
state attracted such masters of landscape painting as Thomas Moran, Albert Bier-
stadt, and Thomas Worthington Whittredge. So pervasive and popular were images
of Colorado’s peaks that some art historians have dubbed those who portrayed these
sites as the “Rocky Mountain School.” During the 1900s, focus shifted to the human

The first published collection of Rudolfo Anaya’s essays
Anaya The Essays

The Essays
By Rudolfo Anaya
Foreword by Robert Con Davis-Undiano
“The storyteller’s gift is my inheritance,” writes Rudolfo Anaya in his essay “Shaman
of Words.” Although he is best known for Bless Me, Ultima and other novels, his
writing also takes the form of nonfiction, and in these 52 essays he draws on both
his heritage as a Mexican American and his gift for storytelling. Besides tackling is-
sues such as censorship, racism, education, and sexual politics, Anaya explores the
tragedies and triumphs of his own life.
Collected here are Anaya’s published essays. Despite his wide acclaim as the founder
of Chicano literature, no previous volume has attempted to gather Anaya’s nonfiction
into one edition. A companion to The Man Who Could Fly and Other Stories, the
collection of Anaya’s short stories, The Essays is an essential anthology for followers
of Anaya and those interested in Chicano literature.
Volume 7 in the Chicana & Chicano
Pieces such as “Requiem for a Lowrider,” “La Llorona, El Kookoóee, and Sexuality,” Visions of the Américas series
and “An American Chicano in King Arthur’s Court” take the reader from the llano

he has made as an author and teacher. The point is not autobiography, although a Literature/Essays
life story is told, nor is it advocacy, although Anaya argues persuasively for cultural
change. Instead, the author provides shrewd commentary on modern America in all
its complexity. All the while, he employs the elegant, poetic voice and the interweav-
ing of myth and folklore that inspire his fiction. “Stories reveal our human nature and
thus become powerful tools for insight and revelation,” writes Anaya. This collection
of prose offers abundant new insight and revelation.

childhood in Pennsylvania to his involvement with the Wild Bunch and, in 1908, to
his reputed death by gunshot in Bolivia.

Challenges long-held assumptions about the man known as
Benedict Jayhawkers
the terror of Missouri
Jayhawkers
The Civil War Brigade of James Henry Lane
By Bryce Benedict
No person excited greater emotion in Kansas than James Henry Lane, the U.S. sena-
tor who led a volunteer brigade in 1861–62. In fighting numerous skirmishes, liberat-
ing hundreds of slaves, burning portions of four towns, and murdering half a dozen
men, Lane and his brigade garnered national attention as the saviors of Kansas and
the terror of Missouri.
This first book-length study of the “jayhawkers,” as the men of Lane’s brigade were
known, takes a fresh look at their exploits and notoriety. Bryce Benedict draws on a
wealth of previously unexploited sources, including letters by brigade members, to
dramatically re-create the violence along the Kansas-Missouri border and challenge
some of the time-honored depictions of Lane’s unit as bloodthirsty and indiscrimi-
nately violent.
Bringing to life an era of guerillas, bushwhackers, and slave stealers, Jayhawkers April

Opens a new window on America’s Gilded Age society

Adams Class and Race in the Frontier Army
Cl ass and R ace in the Frontier Army

Military Life in the West, 1870–1890
By Kevin Adams
Historians have long assumed that ethnic and racial divisions in post–Civil War
America were reflected in the U.S. Army, of whose enlistees 40 percent were foreign-
born. Now Kevin Adams shows that the frontier army was characterized by a “Vic-
torian class divide” that overshadowed ethnic prejudices.
Class and Race in the Frontier Army marks the first application of recent research
on class, race, and ethnicity to the social and cultural history of military life on the
western frontier. Adams draws on a wealth of military records and soldiers’ diaries
and letters to reconstruct everyday army life—from work and leisure to consump-
tion, intellectual pursuits, and political activity—and shows that an inflexible class
barrier stood between officers and enlisted men.
As Adams relates, officers lived in relative opulence while enlistees suffered

April poverty, neglect, and abuse. Although racism was ingrained in official policy and

Military History
than to social class—officers flaunting and protecting their status, enlisted men
seething with class resentment.
Treating the army as a laboratory to better understand American society in the

Gilded Age, Adams suggests that military attitudes mirrored civilian life in that era—
with enlisted men, especially, illustrating the emerging class-consciousness among
the working poor. Class and Race in the Frontier Army offers fresh insight into the

How local water disputes set national and international

littlefield conflict on the rio grande
legal precedents
Conflict on the Rio Gr ande

Water and the Law, 1879–1939
By Douglas R. Littlefield
The history of the Rio Grande since the late nineteenth century reflects the evolution
of water-resource management in the West. It was here that the earliest interstate and
international water-allocation problems pitted irrigators in southern New Mexico
against farmers downstream in El Paso and Juarez, with the voluntary resolution of
that conflict setting important precedents for national and international water law.
In this first scholarly treatment of the politics of water law along the Rio Grande,
Douglas R. Littlefield describes those early interstate and international water-
apportionment conflicts and explains how they relate to the development of western
water law and policy and to international relations with Mexico. Littlefield embraces
environmental, legal, and social history to offer clear analyses of appropriation
and riparian water rights doctrines, along with lucid accounts of court cases and
april laws. Examining events that led up to the 1904 settlement among U.S. and Mexican
$39.95s Cloth 978-0-8061-3998-2 communities and the formation of the Rio Grande Compact in 1938, Littlefield

Western History with governmental authorities.
Conflict on the Rio Grande reveals the transformation of nineteenth- and early
twentieth-century law, traces changing attitudes about the role of government,
and examines the ways these changes affected the use and eventual protection of
natural resources. Rio Grande water policy, Littlefield shows, represents federalism
at work—and shows the West, in one locale at least, coming to grips with its unique

An ordinary soldier’s day-by-day account of the Great War
kniptash on the western front with the rainbow division

On the Western Front with
the R ainbow Division
A World War I Diary
By Vernon E. Kniptash
Edited by E. Bruce Geelhoed
Vernon E. Kniptash, an Indiana national guardsman who served in the Rainbow
Division during World War I, observed firsthand some of the Great War’s fiercest
fighting. As a radio operator with the Headquarters Company of the 150th Field
Artillery, he was in constant contact with French and British forces as well as with
American troops, and thus gained a broad perspective on the hostilities. Editor E.
Bruce Geelhoed introduces and annotates Kniptash’s war diaries, published here for
the first time.
With clarity and compelling detail, Kniptash describes the experiences of an ordi-
nary soldier thrust into the most violent conflict the world had seen. He tells of his
April
enthusiasm upon enlistment and of the horrors of combat that followed, as well as $29.95s Cloth 978-0-8061-4032-2
the drudgery of daily routine. He renders unforgettable profiles of his fellow soldiers 256 pages, 6 x 9
and commanders, and manages despite the strains of warfare to leaven his writing
with humor.
Readers will share Kniptash’s ordeals as he participates in the furious effort to stem a
major German offensive, followed by six months of violent combat and the massive
Allied counteroffensive that ended the war. Because Kniptash was called to remain
with the Army of Occupation in Germany after his unit was shipped home, his diaries
cover the full extent of American participation in the war.

Explores the relationship between Native musical practices and

federal Indian policy
Indian Blues
American Indians and the Politics of Music, 1890–1934
By John W. Troutman
From the late nineteenth century through the 1920s, the U.S. government sought to
control practices of music on reservations and in Indian boarding schools. At the
same time, Native singers, dancers, and musicians created new opportunities through
musical performance to resist and manipulate those same policy initiatives. Why did
the practice of music generate fear among government officials and opportunity for
Native peoples?
In this innovative study, John W. Troutman explores the politics of music at the
turn of the twentieth century in three spheres: reservations, off-reservation boarding
schools, and public venues such as concert halls and Chautauqua circuits. On their
reservations, the Lakotas manipulated concepts of U.S. citizenship and patriotism to
reinvigorate and adapt social dances, even while the federal government stepped up

the polyphony of Native musical practices and their relationship to federal Indian
policy in this important period of American Indian history.

How conflict between right and left shaped a city’s character
stevens radical L.A.

R adical L.A.
From Coxey’s Army to the Watts Riots, 1894–1965
By Errol Wayne Stevens
When the depression of the 1890s prompted unemployed workers from Los Angeles
to join a nationwide march on Washington, “Coxey’s Army” marked the birth of
radicalism in that city. In this first book to trace the subsequent struggle between
the radical left and L.A.’s power structure, Errol Wayne Stevens tells how both sides
shaped the city’s character from the turn of the twentieth century through the civil
rights era.
On the radical right, Los Angeles’s business elite, supported by the Los Angeles Times,
sought the destruction of the trade-union movement—defended on the left by social-
ists, Wobblies, communists, and other groups. In portraying the conflict between leftist
and capitalist visions for the future, Stevens brings to life colorful personalities such as
Times publisher Harrison Gray Otis and Socialist mayoral candidate Job Harriman.
He also re-creates events such as the 1910 bombing of the Times building, the sav- May
age suppression of the 1923 longshoremen’s strike, and the 1965 Watts riots, which $34.95s Cloth 978-0-8061-4002-5
352 pages, 6 x 9
signaled that L.A. politics had become divided less along class lines than by complex
racial and ethnic differences. Western History
The book takes stock of the rivalry between right and left over the several decades
in which it repeatedly flared. Radical L.A. is a balanced work of meticulous schol-
arship that pieces together a rich chronicle usually seen only in smaller snippets or
from a single vantage point. It will change the way we see the history of the City
of Angels.

Explores Indian life in colonial southern New England

Native People of Southern

By Kathleen J. Bragdon
Despite the popular assumption that Native American cultures in New England
declined after Europeans arrived, evidence suggests that Indian communities continued
to thrive alongside English colonists. In this sequel to her Native People of Southern
New England, 1500–1650, Kathleen J. Bragdon continues the Indian story through
the end of the colonial era and documents the impact of colonization.
As she traces changes in Native social, cultural, and economic life, Bragdon explores
what it meant to be Indian in colonial southern New England. Contrary to common
belief, Bragdon argues, Indianness meant continuing Native lives and lifestyles, how-
ever distinct from those of the newcomers. She recreates Indian cosmology, moral
values, community organization, and material culture to demonstrate that networks
based on kinship, marriage, traditional residence patterns, and work all fostered a

generations
Indian Alliances and the Spanish in

the Southwest, 750–1750
By William B. Carter
When considering the history of the Southwest, scholars have typically viewed
Apaches, Navajos, and other Athabaskans as marauders who preyed on Pueblo towns
and Spanish settlements. William B. Carter now offers a multilayered reassessment
of historical events and environmental and social change to show how mutually
supportive networks among Native peoples created alliances in the centuries before
and after Spanish settlement.
Combining recent scholarship on southwestern prehistory and the history of

northern New Spain, Carter describes how environmental changes shaped American
Indian settlement in the Southwest and how Athapaskan and Puebloan peoples
formed alliances that endured until the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 and even afterward.
Established initially for trade, Pueblo-Athapaskan ties deepened with intermarriage
and developments in the political realities of the region. Carter also shows how May
Athapaskans influenced Pueblo economies far more than previously supposed, and $34.95s Cloth 978-0-8061-4009-4

In clearly explaining Native prehistory, Carter integrates clan origins with
archeological data and historical accounts. He then shows how the Spanish conquest
of New Mexico affected Native populations and the relations between them. His
analysis of the Pueblo Revolt reveals that Athapaskan and Puebloan peoples were
in close contact, underscoring the instrumental role that Athapaskan allies played in
Native anticolonial resistance in New Mexico throughout the seventeenth century.

Safeguarding Feder alism

How States Protect Their Interests in National Policymaking
By John D. Nugent
The checks and balances built into the U.S. Constitution are designed to decentralize
and thus limit the powers of government. This system works both horizontally—
among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches—and vertically—between the
federal government and state governments. That vertical separation, known as feder-
alism, is intended to restrain the powers of the federal government, yet many political
observers today believe that the federal government routinely oversteps its bounds at
the expense of states.
In Safeguarding Federalism, John D. Nugent argues that contrary to common percep-

tion, federalism is alive and well—if in a form different from what the Framers of the
Constitution envisioned. According to Nugent, state officials have numerous options
for affecting the development and implementation of federal policy and can soften,
March slow down, or even halt federal efforts they perceive as harming their interests.

The Attic Nights of Aulus Gellius

An Intermediate Reader and Grammar Review
By P. L. Chambers
The second year of Latin instruction can be the most difficult for student and teacher
alike. Students must remember a seemingly endless array of grammatical rules and
vocabulary, and often the material to be translated seems dull and lengthy beyond
endurance. These problems have been overcome by P. L. Chambers with the help of
one ancient Roman.
Aulus Gellius, a well-educated nobleman, is best known today for a collection of ob-
servations titled Noctes Atticae, a project he began during the long winter nights he
spent in Attica, the region of Greece where Athens is located. The selections chosen
for this reader touch on diverse aspects of Roman culture and can be easily under-
stood and translated by intermediate students.

The Cello Suites of Johann Sebastian Bach contain some one hundred trills, many
open to diverse execution and more than half sparking controversy among musicians.
Now accomplished cellist Jerome Carrington brings together and examines histori-

performance practice.
Carrington collects and annotates every trill in the Cello Suites, examining each or-
nament individually to find the most historically accurate solution for its execution.
For determining the form of each trill, he offers a method that includes analysis of
harmonic structure. Because no autograph copy of the Cello Suites has survived, he

A new collection from the world-renowned lyricist
ragan too long a solitude

Too Long a Solitude
Poems by James Ragan
Acclaimed American poet James Ragan begins this newest collection of poems by
asking whether “a rope could swing us / long and light across a widening trough / of
all that fails us in our lives.” With these very first lines, Ragan draws readers into his
world of vivid metaphor and evocative imagery, a world tinged with an aching sense
of loss born of “a mind bereaved by solitude.”
Yet if Ragan needs solitude to construct his poems, we are inspired to join him. In
Too Long a Solitude, he takes us on far-flung journeys from equatorial jungles to Arc-
tic icebergs and from heartbreaking loneliness to ecstatic human connection. Readers
become travelers, with Ragan their insightful guide.
“Ragan’s fine-grained poems move us through a remarkable range of total dexterity,”

says poet C. K. Williams, and a strong streak of Wordsworthian nature-worship runs
through the book. In “Bowing Trees,” this contemporary lyricist sings of saplings

entranced Picasso); others are journeys of the mind (a ride caught on an ice floe head-
ing north out of Hudson Bay).
Too Long a Solitude migrates from isolation to communion. Beginning alone on an

iceberg, we eventually find ourselves at one with a lover in a moonlit vale. As solitude
lifts and the journey ends, the poet finds he need no longer travel to find solace. But
we’re glad, all the same, to have shared the journey with him.
James Ragan has read his work before five heads of state and audiences at Carnegie
Hall and the United Nations. In 1985 he was one of three Americans (with Robert
Bly and Bob Dylan) invited to perform at the First International Poetry Festival in
Moscow. Published collections of his award-winning poetry include In the Talking
Hours, Womb-Weary, The Hunger Wall, Lusions, Selected Poems, and Shouldering
the World. Also an accomplished screenwriter, Ragan served for twenty-five years as
Director of the Graduate Professional Writing Program at the University of Southern
California.

Edited by Barry D. Sell and Louise M. Burkhart
This concluding volume in a remarkable series contains a rich collection of eighteenth-

and the other three have never been made available with their original Nahuatl

Barry D. Sell and Louise M. Burkhart have chosen plays that represent the types of
dramas performed in late-colonial Aztec communities and underscore the differences
between local religion and church doctrine. Included are a complex epiphany drama
from Metepec, two morality plays, two Passion plays, and three history plays that

Papers from the 2005 Mayer Center Symposium at
the Denver Art Museum
Edited by Margaret Young-Sánchez
In 2005, the Denver Art Museum hosted a symposium in conjunction with the exhibition
Tiwanaku: Ancestors of the Inca. An international array of scholars of Tiwanaku, Wari,
and Inca art and archaeology presented results of the latest research conducted in Bolivia,
Chile, and Peru. This copiously illustrated volume, edited by Margaret Young-Sánchez of
the Denver Art Museum, presents revised and amplified papers from the symposium.
Essays by archaeologists Alexei Vranich and Leonardo Benitez (both University of

Pennsylvania) describe what their excavation and astronomical research have yielded
at the site of Tiwanaku, in Bolivia. Georgia DeHavenon (Brooklyn Museum) surveys
historical research and publications on Tiwanaku and its monuments. Christiane

Europe, the welter of competing religions—all were signs of the imminent

At Standing Rock and Wounded Knee

The Journals and Papers of Father Francis M. Craft, 1888–1890
Edited and Annotated by Thomas W. Foley
Foreword by Michael F. Steltenkamp
During the turbulent final years of the Indian Wars, a young Catholic priest entered
service as a missionary to the Sioux Indians in Dakota Territory. Father Francis M.
Craft rode a three-hundred-mile circuit on the Standing Rock Reservation and, in
1890, was a witness to events at Wounded Knee, where he sustained serious wounds.
His journals provide valuable insights into reservation life, including the federal ac-
quisition of Sioux lands and tensions between the Catholic Church and the Indian
Bureau.
Thomas W. Foley, author of a previous biography of Craft, now presents key se-
lections from Craft’s voluminous journals and papers. In addition to documenting
significant events, Craft’s writings reveal his driven, stubborn personality as he went
about his day-to-day routines: performing sacraments, ministering to the sick, even
working to create an Indian sisterhood. Sympathetic to Indian traditions, he provides
valuable insight into Lakota spiritual life. May

They Know Who They Are

Elders of the Chickasaw Nation
By Mike and Martha Larsen
In August 2004, Oklahoma Centennial project artist Mike Larsen approached
Chickasaw Nation leaders with an idea to honor living Chickasaw elders—sages of
his own tribe. He wanted to learn about their families and hear their stories, and he
wanted to connect with their Chickasaw strength and spirit. Larsen’s vision was to
paint a series of portraits of these elders.
Accompanied by his wife, Martha Larsen, the artist began a creative process that
turned into a personal journey. During the interviews, the Larsens were often treated
like members of the elders’ families. They listened and learned what it means to be
Chickasaw—what it means to “know who you are.” In the Larsen studio, carefully
rendered sketches progressed from paper to canvas to yield the 24 remarkable
paintings reproduced in this volume. Martha Larsen has written a richly detailed
January narrative, based on each elder’s interview, documenting his or her cultural beliefs,

Art/American Indian Chickasaw artist and sculptor Mike Larsen grew up in Oklahoma and Texas. Especially
known for his paintings and sculptures of dancing figures, he was commissioned by
the State of Oklahoma to paint the 26-foot mural in the capital rotunda that features
five internationally prominent American Indian ballerinas born in Oklahoma. His
award-winning work has appeared in numerous exhibitions throughout the United
States. Martha Larsen, a photographer, writer, and former small-business owner,

Chickasaw leaders of the past 200 years,
as told by a Chickasaw elder and direct
descendant
Edmund Pickens (Okchantubby)

First Elected Chickasaw Chief, His Life and Times
By Juanita J. Keel Tate
Edmund Pickens lived through a crucial period in Chickasaw history. During Re-
moval in 1836, he traveled with his wife and children on the sad journey from the
Chickasaw homelands to Indian Territory. Like other Chickasaws, he faced many
hardships after settling in the new territory. But as Juanita J. Keel Tate shows in this
first book-length account of Pickens’s life and times, he persevered and triumphed as
a statesman and tribal leader.
Tate devoted forty-seven years to researching and writing about Pickens, visiting
many courthouses in the Chickasaw homelands to locate early homesteads and Pick-
ens family records. In Edmund Pickens (Okchantubby): First Elected Chickasaw
Chief, His Life and Times, Tate describes Pickens’s service as a representative on sev-
eral Chickasaw commissions that negotiated important treaties in Washington, D.C.,
and his work as a member of the delegation that signed the Treaty of Doaksville with
Choctaw leaders in 1837. Pickens helped develop the 1856 Chickasaw Constitution

Reconstruction Treaty of 1866. Respected by the Chickasaw people for his devotion
and trustworthiness, Pickens was the first elected chief of the Chickasaw Nation.
With this insightful biography, Tate provides the testimony to Pickens’s character that
this great leader has long deserved.
Juanita J. Keel Tate, ninety-eight-year-old Chickasaw elder, is noted for her consid-
erable knowledge of tribal history and culture. A great-granddaughter of Edmund
Pickens, Tate has been inducted into the Chickasaw Nation Hall of Fame and the

By Paul F. Lambert
In this book, Paul F. Lambert recounts the remarkable life of Pearl Carter Scott, child
aviator, single mother, and revered Chickasaw elder.
Born in 1915 and raised in Marlow, Oklahoma, Pearl Carter enjoyed a privileged
childhood. Her white father was a gifted businessman who happened to be blind.
Her mother was half Chickasaw and half Choctaw. When Pearl was twelve, she met
Wiley Post, who was just beginning his aviation career, and he taught the adventur-
ous young girl how to fly. After she turned thirteen, her father bought her an airplane
and converted a pasture into an airstrip. She married at age sixteen, and by the age
of eighteen, with one child and another on the way, she retired from flying—even
though it had made her a celebrity.
Pearl and her husband raised three children, but the Great Depression and other cir-

Chickasaw Lives
Volume One: Explorations in Tribal History
By Richard Green
Arriving from the west ages ago, the people who became the Chickasaws
settled in a portion of southeastern North America. As they were emerg-
ing from the Mound Builder culture into historical times, they became
embroiled in the deadly quest of European colonial powers to extend
their empires to the New World. By the 1730s, the Chickasaws were
targeted for extermination.
But, as Richard Green shows in Chickasaw Lives, the Chickasaw people

survived and prospered. Then their one-time ally, the United States, became their January
adversary and forced the tribe to move west to Indian Territory. After several years $24.95s Cloth 978-0-9797858-1-8

of those Americans clamoring for Oklahoma statehood, the U.S. government set a
date to extinguish the tribe’s government and land base.
Here for the first time is a selection of articles and essays that explain why that did
not happen. Green explains how the tribe kept body and soul together until tribal
government could be reconstituted and revitalized after the United States in the 1960s
stopped attempting to vanquish tribal governments.
The twenty-nine articles featured here are arranged chronologically from prehistory
into the modern era. Topics include the Mound Builders, the epic battle with Her-
nando de Soto, European colonial manipulations and wars, Removal to Indian Ter-
ritory, the land-allotment period, and the Chickasaw Nation’s revitalization in the
second half of the twentieth century.
Richard Green has been Tribal Historian of the Chickasaw Nation since 1994. He is
the founding editor of the Journal of Chickasaw History and author of the award-
winning biography Te Ata: Chickasaw Storyteller, American Treasure.
A collection of poems illustrating

the cultural and familial

experiences of a Chickasaw woman
Picked Apart the Bones

By Rebecca Hatcher Travis
For Rebecca Hatcher Travis, writing a book of poems is similar to growing a pecan
tree. Both take a long time to develop. For the poems in this exquisite collection,
“the seeds were planted in childhood and earth, and blossomed with family and
love.” Hatcher Travis bases her poems on memories of her Chickasaw family and the
Oklahoma landscapes surrounding her as a child. The poems also are testimonies to
the ancestors who have passed on to the next life.
Featuring the poem “Picked Apart the Bones,” which won the First Book Award for
Poetry from the Native Writers’ Circle of the Americas.
Rebecca Hatcher Travis is an enrolled citizen of the Chickasaw Nation. Her work,
which often reflects her Native American heritage, has appeared in literary journals,
anthologies, and the Chickasaw Times. The Gulf Coast Poets, a chapter of the Poetry
January Society of Texas, honored Hatcher Travis for her poem “Whisper in the Dark.”

Introduction by Bill Anoatubby
Photography by David G. Fitzgerald
“The story of the Chickasaw Nation is one of survival, persistence, triumph,

achievement, and beauty. It is the story of a people determined not only to survive but to
prosper and live well. Built with this fundamental ideal, Chickasaw government stands
on a foundation that serves its people with the ebb and flow of history’s events. It is a
chronicle of unsurpassed natural splendor and spiritual connectivity to the land that can
never be permanently separated from the hearts of Chickasaws.”
Bill Anoatubby, Governor of the Chickasaw Nation
From their homelands in the Southeast, to their removal to Indian Territory, to their
status as a thriving nation today, the Chickasaw people represent one of the most October 2006
