American IndianA Call for ReformThe Southern California Indian Writings of Helen Hunt JacksonEdited by Valerie Sherer Mathes and Phil Brigandi$29.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-4363-7 · 232 Pages

Journalist, novelist, and scholar Helen Hunt Jackson (1830–85) remains one of the most influential and popular writers on the struggles of American Indians. This volume collects for the first time seven of her most important articles, annotated and introduced by Jackson scholars Valerie Sherer Mathes and Phil Brigandi. Valuable as eyewitness accounts of Mission Indian life in Southern California in the 1880s, the articles also offer insight into Jackson’s career.

Free to Be MohawkIndigenous Education at the Akwesasne Freedom SchoolBy Louellyn White$29.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-4865-6 · 240 Pages

In 1979, traditional Mohawks asserted their sovereign rights to self-education. Concern over the loss of language and culture and clashes with the public school system over who had the right to educate their children sparked the birth of the Akwesasne Freedom School (AFS) and its grassroots, community-based approach. In Free to Be Mohawk, Louellyn White traces the history of the AFS, a tribally controlled school operated without direct federal, state, or provincial funding, and explores factors contributing to its longevity and its impact on alumni, students, teachers, parents, and staff.

Gathering the Potawatomi Nationrevitalization and IdentityBy Christopher Wetzel$29.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-4669-0 · 216 Pages

Following the 1833 Treaty of Chicago, the Potawatomis were increasingly dispersed into nine bands across four states and two countries. How is it, author Christopher Wetzel asks, that these scattered people, with different characteristics and traditions cultivated over two centuries, have reclaimed their common cultural heritage in recent years as the Potawatomi Nation? Gathering the Potawatomi Nation explores the recent invigoration of Potawatomi nationhood, looks at how marginalized communities adapt to social change, and reveals the critical role that culture plays in connecting the two.

Malinche, Pocahontas, and SacagaweaIndian Women as Cultural Intermediaries and National SymbolsBy rebecca Kay Jager$29.95s · 978-0-8061-4851-9 · 368 Pages

The first Europeans to arrive in North America’s various regions relied on Native women to help them navigate unfamiliar customs and places.

Hugh Lenox Scott, who would one day serve as chief of staff of the U.S. Army, spent a portion of his early career at Fort Sill, in Indian and, later, Oklahoma Territory. His ledgers contain an array of historical, linguistic, and ethnographic data—a wealth of primary-source material on Southern Plains Indian people. Meadows describes Plains Indian Sign Language, its origins and history, and its significance to anthropologists.

Progressive TraditionsIdentity in Cherokee Literature and CultureBy Joshua B . Nelson$34.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-4491-7 · 296 Pages

Progressive Traditions identifies 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.

Scalping Columbus and Other Damn Indian StoriesTruths, Half-Truths, and Outright LiesBy Adam Fortunate Eagle$19.95 Paper · 978-0-8061-4428-3 · 216 Pages

Adam Fortunate Eagle has been called many things: social activist, serious joke medicine, contrary warrior, national treasure, enemy of the state, living history. Characterizing his style as “Fortunate Eagle meets Mark Twain, Indian style,” the author relates the traditions, joys, and frustrations of his own Native American experience in tones ranging from “gut-busting laughter to pissed-off anger.”

Americans RecapturedProgressive Era Memory of Frontier CaptivityBy Molly K . Varley$34.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-4493-1 · 240 Pages

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 fixed than American identity, but were consistently used to give that identity its own useful, ever-evolving shape.

Chiefs and ChallengersIndian resistance and Cooperation in Southern California, 1769–1906By George Harwood Phillips$26.95s Paper · 978-0-8061-4490-0 · 384 Pages

Long recognized as a pioneering work in the ethnohistory of California, Chiefs and Challengers, when it first appeared, overturned the stereotype of Indian victimhood and revealed a complex political landscape in which Native peoples interacted with one another as much as they did with non-Indians intruding into their territories. This new edition describes the indigenous cultures of southern California and offers a detailed history of the repercussions of Euro-American colonization.

The Students of Sherman Indian SchoolEducation and Native Identity since 1892By diana Meyers Bahr$19.95s Paper · 978-0-8061-4443-6 · 192 Pages

Sherman Indian High School, as it is known today, began in 1892 as Perris Indian School on eighty acres south of Riverside, California, with nine students. Its mission, like that of other off-reservation Indian boarding schools, was to “civilize” Indian children, which meant stripping them of their Native culture and giving them vocational training. This book offers the first full history of Sherman Indian School’s 100-plus years, a history that reflects federal Indian education policy since the late nineteenth century.

Viewing the AncestorsPerceptions of the Anaasází, Mokwic, and HisatsinomBy robert S . McPherson$34.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-4429-0 · 256 Pages

Archaeologists have long studied the American Southwest, but as historian Robert McPherson shows in Viewing the Ancestors, their findings may not tell the whole story. McPherson maintains that combining archaeology with knowledge derived from the oral traditions of the Navajo, Ute, Paiute, and Hopi peoples yields a more complete history.

Art & PhotographyA Contested ArtModernism and Mestizaje in New MexicoBy Stephanie Lewthwaite$39.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-4864-9 · 304 Pages

In A Contested Art, historian Stephanie Lewthwaite examines the complex Hispano response to the arrival of avant-garde writers and artists in New Mexico and their influence on the twentieth-century marketplace. She suggests that cultural encounters and appropriation produced not only conflict and loss but also transformations in Hispano art as artists experimented with colonial art forms and modernist trends in painting, photography, and sculpture.

A Strange MixtureThe Art and Politics of Painting Pueblo IndiansBy Sascha T . Scott$45.00s Cloth · 978-0-8061-4484-9 · 280 Pages

Many early-twentieth-century artists depicted Pueblo peoples, places, and culture in paintings. These artists’ encounters with Pueblo Indians fostered their awareness of Native political struggles and lead them to join with Pueblo communities to champion Indian rights. In this book, art historian Sascha T. Scott examines the ways in which non-Pueblo and Pueblo artists advocated for American Indian cultures by confronting some of the cultural, legal, and political issues of the day.

Painted JourneysThe Art of John Mix StanleyBy Peter H . Hassrick and Mindy N . Besaw$54.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-4829-8 · 308 Pages $34.95s Paper · 978-0-8061-5155-7 · 308 Pages

Artist-explorer John Mix Stanley (1814–1872), one of the most celebrated chroniclers of the American West in his time, was in a sense a victim of his own success. This volume, featuring a comprehensive collection of Stanley’s extant art, reproduced in full color, offers an opportunity—and ample reason—to rediscover the remarkable accomplishments of this outsize figure of nineteenth-century American culture.

Picturing MigrantsThe Grapes of Wrath and New deal documentary PhotographyBy James r . Swensen$34.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-4827-4 · 272 Pages

As time passes, personal memories of the Great Depression die with those who lived through the desperate 1930s. In the absence of firsthand knowledge, John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath and the photographs produced for the New Deal’s Farm Security Administration (FSA) now provide most of the images that come to mind when we think of the 1930s. Fully exploring this complex connection for the first time, Picturing Migrants offers new insight into Steinbeck’s novel and the FSA’s photography—and into the circumstances that have made them enduring icons of the Depression.

Almost as familiar as the images of the American West he painted and sculpted is the figure of Charles M. Russell himself.

Since he first dreamed of a career in photography, Guy Gillette has traveled regularly to his wife’s family’s ranch, located outside the small town of Crockett, Texas. When Gillette first came to the Porter Place, as the ranch has always been known, he began to photograph the Porter family and their land. Thanks to Gillette’s sense of composition, these wonderful black-and-white photographs, dating from the 1940s, led to his career as a magazine photographer. Collected here for the first time, they document small-town life in East Texas, where Guy Gillette’s sons, the musical duo the Gillette Brothers, still run cattle. A Family of the Land offers a portrait of a community over a half century during which remarkably little has changed.

This lavishly illustrated book juxtaposes Bodmer’s landscape images with modern-day photographs of the same views, allowing readers to see what has changed, and what seems unchanged, since the time Maximilian and Bodmer made their storied trip up the Missouri River.

If we do in fact “remember the Alamo,” it is largely thanks to one person who witnessed the final assault and survived: the commanding officer’s slave, a young man known simply as Joe. What Joe saw as the Alamo fell, recounted days later to the Texas Cabinet, has come down to us in records and newspaper reports. But who Joe was, where he came from, and what happened to him have all remained mysterious until now.

Billy the Kid, Wyatt Earp, and Joaquín Murrieta are fixed in the American imagination as towering legends of the Old West. But that has not always been the case. There was a time when these men were largely forgotten relics of a bygone era. Then, in the early twentieth century, an obscure Chicago newspaperman changed all that. A long-overdue biography of a writer who shaped our idea of western history, American Mythmaker documents in fascinating detail the fashioning of some of the greatest American legends.

For three-quarters of a century, arsenic-laced waste from some of the world’s largest copper-mining operations had accumulated behind the dam. Soon, Milltown became the site of Superfund’s first dam removal and watershed restoration, marking a turning point in U.S. environmental history.

Cold War in a Cold LandFighting Communism on the Northern PlainsBy david W . Mills$29.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-4694-2 · 312 Pages

Most communists, as any plains state patriot would have told you in the 1950s, lived in Los Angeles or New York City, not Minot, North Dakota.

In this book, David W. Mills offers an enlightening look at what most of the heartland was up to while America was united in its war on Reds.

Black SpokaneThe Civil rights Struggle in the Inland NorthwestBy dwayne A . Mack$26.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-4489-4 · 216 Pages

In 1981, decades before mainstream America elected Barack Obama, James Chase became the first African American mayor of Spokane, Washington, with the overwhelming support of a majority-white electorate.

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.

From its beginnings as an army camp in the 1840s, Fort Worth has come to be one of Texas’s—and the nation’s—largest cities, a thriving center of culture and commerce. But along the way, the city’s future, let alone its present prosperity, was anything but certain. Fort Worth tells the story of how this landlocked outpost on the arid plains of Texas made and remade itself in its early years, setting a pattern of boom-and-bust progress that would see the city through to the twenty-first century.

Banking in Oklahoma, 1907–2000By Michael J . Hightower$29.95s Cloth · 978-0-8061-4495-5 · 504 Pages

The story of banking in twentieth-century Oklahoma is also the story of the Sooner State’s first hundred years, as Michael J. Hightower’s new book demonstrates. Oklahoma statehood coincided with the Panic of 1907, and both events signaled seismic shifts in state banking practices. Much as Oklahoma banks shed their frontier persona to become more tightly integrated in the national economy, so, too, was decentralized banking revealed as an anachronism, utterly unsuited to an increasingly global economy.

More than 16,000 Californians served as soldiers in the Union Army during the Civil War. One California unit, the 1st Battalion of Native Cavalry, consisted largely of Californio Hispanic volunteers from the “Cow Counties” of Southern California and the Central Coast. Out-of-work vaqueros who enlisted after drought decimated the herds they worked, the Native Cavalrymen lent the army their legendary horsemanship and carried lances that evoked both the romance of the Californios and the Spanish military tradition. Californio Lancers, the first detailed history of the 1st Battalion, illuminates their role in the conflict and brings new diversity to Civil War history.

During the early weeks of 1848, as U.S. congressmen debated the territorial status of California, a Swiss immigrant and an itinerant millwright forever altered the future state’s fate. Building a sawmill for Johann August Sutter, James Wilson Marshall struck gold. The rest may be history, but much of the story of what happened in the following year is told not in history books but in the letters, diaries, journals, and other written recollections of those whom the California gold rush drew west. In this second installment in the projected four-part collection, the hardy souls who made the arduous trip tell their stories in their own words.

Focusing on the experiences of Native performers and performances, Linda Scarangella McNenly begins her examination of these spectacles with Buffalo Bill’s 1880s pageants.

Almost as soon as the last shot was fired in the Battle of the Little Bighorn, the battlefield became an archaeological site. For many years afterward, as fascination with the famed 1876 fight intensified, visitors to the area scavenged the many relics left behind. It took decades, however, before researchers began to tease information from the battle’s debris—and the new field of battlefield 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 findings.
