Wildlife in American Art

Masterworks from the National Museum of Wildlife Art
By Adam Duncan Harris
The first European artist-naturalists to tour North America in the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries were awed not only by the continent’s varying landforms but
also by the animals they encountered: vast herds of buffalo, majestic horned stags,
a bewildering variety of birds. The earliest sketches depicting these fauna began the
remarkable tradition of wildlife in American art, a tradition that evolved along with
the United States as a nation and still thrives today.

For more than two decades, the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson, Wyoming,
has honored and sustained this tradition by assembling the most comprehensive October

A Texan in Hollywood
By Robert Hinkle with Mike Farris
“Do you think you could teach Rock Hudson to talk like you do?”
The question came from famed Hollywood director George Stevens, and an affirmative
answer propelled Bob Hinkle into a fifty-year career in Hollywood as a speech coach,
actor, producer, director, and friend to the stars. Along the way, Hinkle helped Rock
Hudson, Dennis Hopper, Carroll Baker, and Mercedes McCambridge talk like Texans
for the 1956 epic film Giant. He also helped create the character Jett Rink with James
Dean, who became a best friend, and he consoled Elizabeth Taylor personally when
Dean was killed in a tragic car accident before the film was released.
A few years later, Paul Newman asked Hinkle to do for him what he’d done for
James Dean. The result was Newman’s powerful portrayal of a Texas no-good in
the Academy Award–winning film Hud (1963). Hinkle could—and did—stop by the
LBJ Ranch to exchange pleasantries with the president of the United States. He did
likewise with Elvis Presley at Graceland. Good friends with Robert Wagner, Hinkle
even taught Wagner’s wife Natalie Wood how to throw a rope. He appeared in
numerous television series, including Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Dragnet, and Walker,
Texas Ranger. On a handshake, he worked as country music legend Marty Robbins’s
manager, and he helped Evel Knievel rise to fame.
From his birth in Brownfield, Texas, to a family so poor “they could only afford a
tumbleweed as a pet,” Hinkle went on to gain acclaim in Hollywood. Through it all,
he remained the salty, down-to-earth former rodeo cowboy from West Texas who
could talk his way into—or out of—most any situation. More than forty photographs,
including rare behind-the-scenes glimpses of the stars Hinkle met and befriended
along the way, complement this rousing, never-dull memoir.
Robert Hinkle is a retired actor, writer, producer, and director. He lives in Texas with
his wife, Sandy. Mike Farris is a screenwriter and attorney. He and his wife, Susan,
run Farris Literary Agency, Inc., in Dallas.

A new biography of LBJ links his liberal agenda to the West

Fernlund Lyndon B. Johnson and Modern America

Lyndon B. Johnson
and Modern America
By Kevin J. Fernlund
Born in a farmhouse in the Texas Hill Country, Lyndon Baines Johnson brought a
western sensibility to the White House. Building on recent studies that have delved
into Johnson’s Texas roots, Kevin J. Fernlund has written a brief, lively biography
of the thirty-sixth president that better shows how his home state molded his early
years—and how the one-time Houston schoolteacher eventually became a Texas
tornado twisting across the state’s and soon the nation’s political landscape.

Lyndon B. Johnson and Modern America offers a concise look at LBJ that shows
how his career coincided with the ascendancy of American liberalism within a Cold
War context. In particular, Fernlund extends recent observations regarding Johnson’s
important role in regional transformation at a time when the South and West became
full partners in the American economy. In examining LBJ’s promotion of the space

program and his disastrous decision to escalate the war in Vietnam, Fernlund shows

describes how Johnson’s liberal agenda for the West became subverted by illiberal October

fostering the region’s nascent conservatism. He also compares Johnson’s commitment

to social justice with that of his arch nemesis Ho Chi Minh, providing new insight for Biography/ Western History
readers and an intriguing springboard for classroom discussion.

Although subsequent presidents also hailed from the West, Fernlund argues that
Johnson was our last truly western chief executive. This new approach to LBJ offers
a novel reading of an important Texan, his huge circles of influence, and his lasting
impact on the American scene.

How an atomic scientist’s life intertwines with a region’s history

Hunner J. Robert Oppenheimer, the cold war, and the atomic west

J. Robert Oppenheimer,
the Cold War, and the Atomic West
By Jon Hunner
In 1922, the teenage son of a Jewish immigrant ventured from Manhattan to New
Mexico for his health. It was the first of many trips to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains,
a western retreat where J. Robert Oppenheimer would eventually hold pathbreaking
discussions with world-renowned scientists about atomic physics. Oppenheimer
came to feel at home in the American West, and while extensive studies have been
made of the man, this is the first book to explicitly link him with the region. J. Robert
Oppenheimer, the Cold War, and the Atomic West explores how the West influenced
Oppenheimer as a scientist and as a person—and the role he played in influencing it.

Jon Hunner’s concise account of Oppenheimer’s life and the emergence of an

Atomic West distills a vast literature for students and general readers. In this brisk,
engaging biography, the author recounts how Oppenheimer helped locate the atomic

Biography/Western History
Interwoven into this atomic tale are insights into the physicist’s troubled growing-up
years, his marriage and family life, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and
Oppenheimer’s eventual downfall. After the first atomic bomb burst over the New
Mexican desert in 1945 and as the Cold War developed, the American myth of the
Wild West expanded to encompass atomic sheriffs saving the world for democracy—
even as powerful opponents began questioning Oppenheimer’s place in that story.

It is February 1839, and the survivors of the Cherokee Trail of Tears have just arrived
in Fort Gibson, Indian Territory. A quarter of the removed Indian population have
died along the way, victims of cold, disease, and despair. Now the Cherokee people
confront an unknown future. How will they build anew from nothing? How will they
plow fields of unbroken sod, full of rocks too heavy to lift? Can they put aside the
pain and anger of Removal and find peace?

Pushing the Bear: After the Trail of Tears tells the story of the Cherokees’ resettlement
in the hard years following Removal, a story never before explored in fiction. In
this sequel to her popular 1996 novel Pushing the Bear: A Novel of the Trail of
Tears, author Diane Glancy continues the tale of Cherokee brothers O-ga-na-ya and
Knobowtee and their families, as well the Reverend Jesse Bushyhead, a Cherokee
Christian minister. The book follows their travails in Indian Territory as they attempt
to build cabins, raise crops, and adjust to new realities.
The novel begins with a nation defeated—displaced, starving, broken, still walking
that hated Trail in their dreams. Debate rages between followers of the old ways and
converts to Christianity, and conflict between those who opposed and those who
authorized resettlement eventually erupts into violence. In the aftermath of confusion,
despair, and turmoil, a new nation emerges.

Diane Glancy has received numerous awards for her writing, including the American
Book Award, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, the Pushcart Prize, the
Capricorn Prize for Poetry, the Five Civilized Tribes Playwriting Prize, and the North
American Indian Prose Award. Of Cherokee and German-English descent, Glancy is
Professor Emerita at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota.

The first full interpretive biography of the Lakota visionary

Steltenkamp Nicholas Black Elk

Nichol as Bl ack Elk
Medicine Man, Missionary, Mystic
By Michael F. Steltenkamp
Since its publication in 1932, Black Elk Speaks has moved countless readers to
appreciate the American Indian world that it described. John Neihardt’s popular
narrative addressed the youth and early adulthood of Black Elk, an Oglala Sioux
religious elder. Michael F. Steltenkamp now provides the first full interpretive
biography of Black Elk, distilling in one volume what is known of this American
Indian wisdom keeper whose life has helped guide others.

Nicholas Black Elk: Medicine Man, Missionary, Mystic shows that the holy-man
was not the dispirited traditionalist commonly depicted in literature, but a religious
thinker whose outlook was positive and whose spirituality was not limited solely to
traditional Lakota precepts. Combining in-depth biography with its cultural context,
the author depicts a more complex Black Elk than has previously been known: a
world traveler who participated in the Battle of the Little Bighorn yet lived through November

last fifty years of Black Elk’s life—the period often overlooked by those who write
and think of him only as a nineteenth-century figure. In the process, the author details
not just Black Elk’s life but also the creation of his life story by earlier writers, and its
influence on the Indian revitalization movement of the late twentieth century.

Coach Tommy Thompson and the
Boys of Sequoyah
By Patti Dickinson
Foreword by Chadwick Smith
When eleven-year-old Tommy Thompson arrived at a government-run Indian
boarding school in 1915, it seemed a last resort for the youngster. Instead, it turned
out to be the first step toward a life dedicated to helping others. Thompson went
on to become a star athlete and football coach—a Cherokee legend whose story is
remembered by many and is now finally told for a wider audience.
Following gridiron fame at Northeastern State College, Thompson returned to
Sequoyah Vocational School in 1947 as Boys’ Coach and Advisor. More than a
thousand boys attended the boarding school during the eleven years he coached
there. Writing for readers old and young, Patti Dickinson tells the inspiring story of
how this one man made a difference in the lives of a generation of Cherokee youth.
Through football, Thompson taught his boys the skills and values they would need
to succeed in life, and twice led his team to the state finals. Dickinson describes the
success of that program, including one epic, rain-soaked championship game. She
paints compelling portraits of Thompson’s boys—the men whose firsthand stories and
reminiscences form the basis of the narrative—and re-creates daily life at the school.
To his boys, Thompson was Ah-sky-uh, “the man,” a Cherokee term of respect.
Half a century after his death, Sequoyah High School still reveres his memory. This
book secures his place in history as it opens a new window on the boarding school
experience.

An up-to-date guide to Oklahoma’s diverse Native peoples

Indian Tribes of Okl ahoma

Oklahoma is home to nearly forty American Indian tribes, and it includes the largest
Native population of any state. As a result, many Americans think of the state as
“Indian Country.” For more than half a century readers have turned to Muriel H.

information on the state’s Native peoples. Now Blue Clark, an enrolled member of
the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, has rendered a completely new guide that reflects the
drastic transformation of Indian Country in recent years.

As a synthesis of current knowledge, this book places the state’s Indians in their
contemporary context as no other book has done. Solidly grounded in scholarship
and Native oral tradition, it provides general readers the unique story of each tribe,
from the Alabama-Quassartes to the Yuchis. Each entry contains a complete statistical

A soul-searching memoir of growing up in a company town

weston the good times are all gone now

The Good Times Are All Gone Now
Life, Death, and Rebirth in an Idaho Mining Town
By Julie Whitesel Weston
Julie Whitesel Weston left her hometown of Kellogg, Idaho, but eventually it pulled
her back. Only when she returned to this mining community in the Idaho Panhandle
did she begin to see the paradoxes of the place where she grew up. Her book combines
oral history, journalistic investigation, and personal reminiscence to take a fond but
hard look at life in Kellogg during “the good times.”

Kellogg in the late 1940s and fifties was a typical American small town complete
with high school football and basketball teams, marching band, and anti-Communist
clubs; yet its bars, gambling dens, and brothels were entrenched holdovers from a
rowdier frontier past. The Bunker Hill Mining Company, the largest employer, paid
miners good wages for difficult, dangerous work, while the quest for lead, silver, and
zinc denuded the mountainsides and laced the soil and water with contaminants.

Weston researched the late-nineteenth-century founding of Kellogg and her family’s OCTOBER
five generations in Idaho. She interviewed friends she grew up with, their parents, $19.95 PAPER 978-0-8061-4075-9

and her own parents’ friends—miners mostly, but also businesspeople, housewives,

and professionals. Much of this memoir of place set during the Cold War and post- MEmoiR / WESTERN HISTORY
McCarthyism is told through their voices. But Weston also considers how certain
people made a difference in her life, especially her band director, her ski coach, and
an attorney she worked for during a major strike. She also explores her charged
relationship with her father, a hardworking doctor revered in the community for his
dedication but feared at home for his drinking and rages.

Julius Seyler and the Bl ackfeet

An Impressionist at Glacier National Park
By William E. Farr
German Impressionist artist Julius Seyler had already made a name for himself in
Europe when America beckoned. While in St. Paul, Minnesota, he encountered
Louis Hill, head of the Great Northern Railroad, who wanted to encourage travel
to Montana’s newly created Glacier National Park. To that end, Hill enticed the
adventuresome Seyler to visit this majestic landscape and to see the Blackfeet Indians
who lived there. This book marks both an appreciation of Seyler’s unique art and a
fascinating glimpse into the promotion of a national park in its early years.

William E. Farr has written the first biographical portrait of Seyler, focusing on his two
summers at Glacier in 1913 and 1914, his special relationship with the Blackfeet, and
the magnificent art he created in the Northern Rockies. The book features more than
one hundred images—many in color—including Seyler’s major works from Glacier,

A definitive work on an underappreciated artist

Clark Charles Deas and 1840s America

Charles Deas and 1840s America
By Carol Clark
With contributions by Joan Carpenter Troccoli, Frederick E. Hoxie,
and Guy Jordan
Foreword by Lewis I. Stone and Peter H. Hassrick
Charles Deas (1818–67), an enigmatic figure on the edge of mainstream artistic
circles in mid-nineteenth-century New York, went west to explore new opportunities
and subjects in 1840. From his adopted hometown of St. Louis, Deas sent his iconic
paintings of fur trappers and Indians back east for exhibition and sale, briefly winning
the recognition that had earlier eluded him.

This handsome volume—featuring more than 150 illustrations, 70 in color—is the first
book exclusively devoted to Deas. In two major essays, Carol Clark presents Deas’s

The acclaimed sculptor of wildlife and western heroes

tells his life story

Sculptor in Buckskin
The Autobiography of Alexander Phimister Proctor
Second Edition
Edited by Katharine C. Ebner
Foreword by Peter H. Hassrick
Two disparate worlds met in the life of Alexander Phimister Proctor: the art world
centered in the eastern United States and the world of the western frontier. Proctor
was a remarkable amalgam: a big-game hunter and intrepid explorer who felt at
home in Paris or New York, and an academically trained artist who painted and
sculpted the characters and wild creatures of the West.

This new edition of Proctor’s autobiography provides a thorough introduction to a

distinctively American artist whose monumental sculptures and statues adorn parks,
public buildings, and museums, as well as private homes and businesses across the
country. The text, begun in the late 1930s, when Proctor was in his seventies, takes

historical photographs and reproductions of Proctor’s sketches, paintings, and
sculptures, tracing the development of his magnificent artistry. Here are the trembling
fawns, slinking mountain lions, stalwart warriors, and rearing mustangs that made
him famous. Art historian Katharine C. Ebner has annotated the autobiography and
restored previously unpublished portions of the original manuscript.

“What is beauty?” Proctor asks at the beginning of his narrative. It was a question that
resonated throughout his life. Through the words and the work of this remarkable
artist, we come to understand his answer.

Katharine C. Ebner has served as a researcher, consultant, and essayist. She has
researched and written on Proctor, archived the papers of American sculptor Solon
H. Borglum, and curated exhibitions. She currently serves as an educator for the

Faces of the Frontier

Photographic Portraits from the American West, 1845–1924
By Frank H. Goodyear III
With an Essay by Richard White
Their faces look out across a chasm of time. Stern and often stiff, they wear the high
collars and hoop skirts, buckskins and ceremonial feathers of another era. The names
of some are familiar—Teddy Roosevelt, Mark Twain, Sitting Bull, Annie Oakley.
The names of others may be less well known, but they played a significant role in
re-creating the American West. These are all people of the West, and their portraits
give us a unique glimpse into a lost time and place.

Faces of the Frontier showcases more than 120 photographic portraits of leaders,
statesmen, soldiers, laborers, activists, criminals, and others, all posed before the
cameras that made their way to nearly every mining shanty-town and frontier outpost
on the prairie. Drawing primarily on the collection of the National Portrait Gallery,

Accompanying the portraits are an introduction and two essays that provide Photography/american west

turn-of-the-twentieth-century Choctaw society

Choctaw Crime and Punishment,

1884–1907
By Devon Abbott Mihesuah
During the decades between the Civil War and the establishment of Oklahoma
statehood, Choctaws suffered almost daily from murders, thefts, and assaults—usually
at the hands of white intruders, but increasingly by Choctaws themselves. This
book focuses on two previously unexplored murder cases to illustrate the intense
factionalism that emerged among tribal members during those lawless years as
conservative Nationalists and pro-assimilation Progressives fought for control of the
Choctaw Nation.

Devon Abbott Mihesuah describes the brutal murder in 1884 of her own great-great-
grandfather, Nationalist Charles Wilson, who was a Choctaw lighthorseman and U.S.
deputy marshal. She then relates the killing spree of Progressives by Nationalist Silan
Lewis ten years later. Mihesuah draws on a wide array of sources—even in the face
of missing court records—to weave a spellbinding account of homicide and political
intrigue. She painstakingly delineates a transformative period in Choctaw history
to explore emerging gulfs between Choctaw citizens and address growing Indian
resistance to white intrusions, federal policies, and the taking of tribal resources.

The first book to fully describe this Choctaw factionalism, Choctaw Crime and
Punishment is both a riveting narrative and an important analysis of tribal politics.

The first complete history of the Indians said to have sold

Grumet The Munsee Indians

The Munsee Indians

A History
By Robert S. Grumet
Foreword by Daniel K. Richter
The Indian sale of Manhattan is one of the world’s most cherished legends. Few
people know that the Indians who made the fabled sale were Munsees whose ancestral
homeland lay between the lower Hudson and upper Delaware river valleys. The story
of the Munsee people has long lain unnoticed in broader histories of the Delaware
Nation.

Now, The Munsee Indians deftly interweaves a mass of archaeological, anthropologi­

cal, and archival source material to resurrect the lost history of this forgotten people,
from their earliest contacts with Europeans to their final expulsion just before the
American Revolution. Anthropologist Robert S. Grumet rescues from obscurity

Ravaged by disease, war, and alcohol, the Munsees finally emigrated to reservations
in Wisconsin, Oklahoma, and Ontario, where most of their descendants still live
today. Coinciding with the four hundredth anniversary of Hudson’s voyage to the
river that bears his name, this book shows how Indians and settlers struggled, in
land deals and other transactions, to reconcile cultural ideals with political realities.
The result is the most authoritative treatment of the Munsee experience—one that

Swope A Dragon’s Head and a Serpent’s Tail

A Dr agon’s Head and a Serpent’s Tail

Ming China and the First Great East Asian War, 1592–1598
By Kenneth M. Swope
The invasion of Korea by Japanese troops in May of 1592 was no ordinary military
expedition: it was one of the decisive events in Asian history and the most tragic for
the Korean peninsula until the mid-twentieth century. Japanese overlord Toyotomi
Hideyoshi envisioned conquering Korea, Ming China, and eventually all of Asia;
but Korea’s appeal to China’s Emperor Wanli for assistance triggered a six-year war
involving hundreds of thousands of soldiers and encompassing the whole region.
For Japan, the war was “a dragon’s head followed by a serpent’s tail”: an impressive
beginning with no real ending.

Kenneth M. Swope has undertaken the first full-length scholarly study in English of
this important conflict. Drawing on Korean, Japanese, and especially Chinese sources,
he corrects the Japan-centered perspective of previous accounts and depicts Wanli not
as the self-indulgent ruler of received interpretations but rather one actively engaged
in military affairs—and concerned especially with rescuing China’s client state of
Korea. He puts the Ming in a more vigorous light, detailing Chinese siege warfare,
the development and deployment of innovative military technologies, and the naval
battles that marked the climax of the war. He also explains the war’s repercussions
outside the military sphere—particularly the dynamics of intraregional diplomacy
within the shadow of the Chinese tributary system.

What Swope calls the First Great East Asian War marked both the emergence of
Japan’s desire to extend its sphere of influence to the Chinese mainland and a military
revival of China’s commitment to defending its interests in Northeast Asia. Swope’s
account offers new insight not only into the history of warfare in Asia but also into a
conflict that reverberates in international relations to this day.

Re-assessing this early American war from an international

perspective

The War of 1812 in the Age of Napoleon

By Jeremy Black
The War of 1812 is etched into American memory with the burning of the Capitol
and the White House by British forces, The Star-Spangled Banner, and the decisive
naval battle of New Orleans. Now a respected British military historian offers an
international perspective on the conflict to better gauge its significance.

In The War of 1812 in the Age of Napoleon, Jeremy Black provides a dramatic
account of the war framed within a wider political and economic context than
most American historians have previously considered. In his examination of
events both diplomatic and military, Black especially focuses on the actions of
the British, for whom the conflict was, he argues, a mere distraction from the
Napoleonic War in Europe.

Black describes parallels and contrasts to other military operations throughout the
world. He stresses the domestic and international links between politics and military

The most comprehensive lexicon of the Osage language

Quintero Osage Dictionary

Osage Dictionary
By Carolyn Quintero
Osage, a language of the Dhegiha branch of the Siouan family, was spoken until
recently by tribal members in northeastern Oklahoma. No longer in daily use, it
was in danger of extinction. Carolyn Quintero, a linguist raised in Osage County,
worked with the last few fluent speakers of the language to preserve the sounds and
textures of their complex speech. Compiled after painstaking work with these tribal
elders, her Osage Dictionary is the definitive lexicon for that tongue, enhanced with
thousands of phrases and sentences that illustrate fine points of usage.

Drawing on a collaboration with the late Robert Bristow, an amateur linguist who had
compiled copious notes toward an Osage dictionary, Quintero interviewed more than a
dozen Osage speakers to explore crucial aspects of their language. She has also integrated
into the dictionary explications of relevant material from Francis La Flesche’s 1932
dictionary of Osage and from James Owen Dorsey’s nineteenth-century research.

Breaks ground for an new, outrageous literary criticism grounded

Womack Art as Performance, story as Criticism

in historical inquiry

Art as Performance,
Story as Criticism
Reflections on Native Literary Aesthetics
By Craig S. Womack
Pick up a work of typical literary criticism and you know what to expect: prose that
is dry, pedantic, well-meaning but tedious—slow-going and essentially humorless.
But why should that be so? Why can’t more literary criticism have a political edge
and be engaging and fast-paced? Why can’t it include drama, personal narrative, and
even humor? Why can’t criticism become an artistic performance, rather than just a
discussion of art?

Art as Performance, Story as Criticism is Craig Womack’s answer to these questions.

Inventive and often outrageous, the book turns traditional literary criticism on its
head, rejecting distanced, purely theoretical argumentation for intimate engagement
with literary works. Focusing on Native American literature, Womack mixes forms
and styles. He is unafraid to combine meticulous research and carefully considered November

others more closely resemble traditional literary criticism, such as essays discussing
the lesser-known plays of Lynn Riggs and the stories of Durango Mendoza. Still other
chapters defy easy categorization, such as the piece “Caught in the Current, Clinging
to a Twig,” in which Womack interweaves historical analysis of the state of the Creek
Nation in 1908 with a vivid recreation of the last day on earth of Creek poet Alexander Or Related Interest

The Triumph of Voting Rights
in the South
By Charles S. Bullock III and Ronald Keith Gaddie
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 achieved what two constitutional amendments and
three civil rights acts could not: giving African Americans in the South access to
the ballot free from restriction or intimidation. The most exhaustive treatment of
elections and race in the region in sixty years, The Triumph of Voting Rights in
the South explores the impact of that landmark legislation and highlights lingering
concerns about minority political participation.
In this state-by-state assessment, Charles S. Bullock III and Ronald Keith Gaddie
show how minorities have become politically empowered thanks to the act—
particularly its Section 5 provision, which requires jurisdictions that have had low
levels of minority voting to obtain federal clearance before altering election laws.
Blending data and anecdote, the authors demonstrate how minority participation
in politics has improved as measured by voter registration and turnout, election of
African Americans to political office, and minorities’ success in electing preferred
candidates. Eleven southern states are discussed, including Arkansas and Tennessee,
where Section 5 was not implemented, and Florida and Texas, where the act takes
into account Latino participation.
Concluding chapters offer a comparative assessment of voting rights progress across
the South, explore the political by-products of the act, and analyze the 2008 election

America’s party system

Disconnect
The Breakdown of Representation in American Politics
By Morris P. Fiorina, with Samuel J. Abrams
Red states, blue states . . . are we no longer the United States? Morris P. Fiorina here
examines today’s party system to reassess arguments about party polarization while
offering a cogent overview of the American electorate.

Building on the arguments of Fiorina’s acclaimed Culture War? The Myth of a

Polarized America, this book explains how contemporary politics differs from that of
previous eras and considers what might be done to overcome the unproductive politics
of recent decades. Drawing on polling results and other data, Fiorina examines the
disconnect between an unrepresentative “political class” and the citizenry it purports
to represent, showing how politicians have become more polarized while voters
remain moderate; how politicians’ rhetoric and activities reflect hot-button issues
that are not public priorities; and how politicians’ dogmatic, divisive, and uncivil

Cassity/goble Divided Hearts

Divided Hearts
The Presbyterian Journey through Oklahoma History
By Michael Cassity and Danney Goble
Guided by a penchant for self-reflection and thoughtful discussion, Presbyterians have
long been pulled in conflicting directions in their perceptions of their shared religious
mission—with a tension that sometimes divides hearts as well as congregations. In
this first comprehensive history of the Presbyterian Church in Oklahoma, historians
Michael Cassity and Danney Goble reveal how Oklahoma Presbyterians have
responded to the demands of an evolving society, a shifting theology, and even a
divided church.

Beginning with the territorial period, Cassity and Goble examine the dynamics of
Presbyterian missions among the Five Tribes in Indian Territory and explain how
Presbyterians differed from other denominations. As they trace the Presbyterian
journey, they examine the way Presbyterians addressed the evil of slavery and the
November dispossession of Oklahoma’s Indians; the challenges of industrial society; the modern

Twelve Forgotten Gunfighters

sides of the law without hesitation.
Noted historian Robert K. DeArment
has combed court records and frontier
newspapers to tell the story of twelve

than a collective biography of dangerous

as a social history of the gunfighter culture
of the post–Civil War frontier West.

The Indian Southwest, 1580–1830
Ethnogenesis and Reinvention
By Gary Clayton Anderson
How southwestern Indian peoples
adapted to European conquest
The Indian Southwest, 1580–1830 demon-
strates that, in the face of European con-
quest, severe drought, and disease, Indians in
the Southwest proved remarkably adaptable
and dynamic, remaining independent actors
and even prospering. Some tribes temporar-
ily joined Spanish missions or assimilated into
other tribes. Others survived by remaining on
the fringe of Spanish settlement, migrating,
and expanding exchange relationships with
other tribes. Still others incorporated remnant
bands and individuals and strengthened their
economic systems. The vibrancy of southwest-
ern Indian societies today is due in part to the
exchange-based political economies their ances-
tors created almost three centuries ago.
Gary Clayton Anderson, Professor of His­
tory at the University of Oklahoma, is
author of The Conquest of Texas: Ethnic
Cleansing in the Promised Land, 1820–

Five plays by the award-winning Native
playwright
When leading Assiniboine playwright
Wil­liam S. Yellow Robe, Jr., began his
theatrical career, few roles existed for
American Indians. So he wrote his own
plays, creating parts for himself and other
Native actors.
Where the Pavement Ends contains five of
Yellow Robe’s most poignant and powerful
plays: The Star Quilter, The Body Guards,
Rez Politics, The Council, and Sneaky.
Written in the 1980s and 1990s and based on
his experiences on the Fort Peck reservation,
these plays explore American Indian
experience, from Indian-white relations
to ecology and identity. Combining raw
reservation reality with subtle humor, their
unique perspective on humanity remains
fresh today.
William S. Yellow Robe, Jr., currently teaches

The authoritative history of this

shillingberg dodge city

quintessential western town

Dodge City
The Early Years, 1872–1886
By Wm. B. Shillingberg
The most famous cattle town of the trail-driving era, Dodge City, Kansas, holds
a special allure for western historians and enthusiasts alike. Wm. B. Shillingberg
now goes beyond the violence for which the town became notorious, more fully
documenting its early history by uncovering the economic, political, and social forces
that shaped Dodge.

The author cuts through legend and myth to depict a Dodge City that few people
really know. He takes readers back to the southwestern Kansas frontier and traces
a town’s evolution from a military site for protecting Santa Fe commerce, to a wild
and lawless buffalo hunters’ rendezvous, to a regional freighting center and the
primary shipping point for Texas cattle on the central plains. Amid all this activity a
community sprang up in 1872 and was still stumbling toward maturity fourteen years

Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, from city records to personal papers,
Dodge City: The Early Years, 1872–1886 surpasses previous accounts of the town
by depicting complex individuals and events in greater depth and detail. It shows us
a community concerned with more than brothels, saloons, and gunplay. It will stand
as the authoritative history of this quintessential western town.

On the western Trails
The Overland Diaries of
Washington Peck
Edited and with Biographical
Commentary by Susan M. Erb
Two never-before-published
trail diaries bring history to life
A cooper and farmer from Ontario, Canada, Washington Peck
(1801–89) spent decades traveling across the western frontier
before finally settling in Washington Territory. Peck’s chronicle
of his itinerant life offers fresh insight into some of the less
traveled emigrant routes across the nineteenth-century West.
Peck left two wagon-train diaries—published here for the first
time—that log western routes not often recorded: an 1850–51
trip to the California gold fields via the Platte River Road–
Mormon Trail, the Salt Lake–Los Angeles southern route, and
the California coastline; and a journey over the Santa Fe Trail
in 1858, continuing on the Beale Wagon Road along the 35th
parallel. In the course of their journeys, Peck and his wife Mercy
witnessed many important nineteenth-century events, including
the Gold Rush, the Mormon building of Salt Lake City, the
Underground Railroad in Illinois, the buildup in New Mexico
to the Civil War, and the admission to the Union of Washington
State.
Through biographical commentary and explanatory annotation,
editor Susan M. Erb enriches our understanding of the diary
entries. Featuring numerous illustrations and maps, this book
is must reading for trail enthusiasts and provides valuable new
perspectives for western historians.

An Overland Journey on the

Foreword by Howard R. Lamar
An extraordinary first-person
account of the southern
Gold Rush route
In 1849, William R. Goulding and the Knickerbocker Exploring
Company struck out for California on the southern route—a
road less traveled. This rare first-person diary of the southern
Gold Rush trails, introduced and annotated by Patricia A. Etter,
highlights an important alternative route to the Pacific Coast.
One of the best-educated Gold Rush participants, Goulding kept
a remarkably articulate journal that recounts his meetings with
the interesting and important people he encountered along the
way. He describes the details of the trail itself—the weather and
scenery, birds and animals, and a march “amidst heards [sic]
of miriads of buffalo in all directions as far as the eyes could
reach.” Goulding also recorded encounters with Hispanics and
American Indians.

Woody Crumbo’s Indian Art
By Robert Perry
The life of Woodrow “Woody” Crumbo (1912–1989) parallels the twentieth-
century evolution of American Indian art. An accomplished Native dancer, flutist,
silversmith, and poet, Crumbo is perhaps best known today for his oil paintings
and silk screens—revolutionary artworks that were denigrated by some critics at
first but that helped move Indian art to museums of fine art, as well as its markets.
Now the life story of an Indian artist who often went against the grain is told by an
accomplished Indian storyteller.
Chickasaw author Robert Perry’s interest in gathering and preserving elders’ stories
from neighboring tribes prompted him to write this long-awaited biography. Starting
with a suitcase full of newspaper clippings provided by Crumbo’s widow, Perry traced
Crumbo’s first flowering as an artist from his studies at Chilocco Indian School,
where he befriended several Kiowas who taught him about their dances and regalia
and introduced him to the traditional Kiowa cedar-wood flute.
The book follows Crumbo from Chilocco to his studies at Wichita University and
the University of Oklahoma, his years touring as an Indian dancer, and his position
as director of art at Bacone College in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Later, Crumbo
collaborated with Taos artists, helped organize Indian art exhibitions at the Gilcrease
and Philbrook art museums in Tulsa, and directed the El Paso Museum of Art.
Uprising! Woody Crumbo’s Indian Art tells a compassionate and inspiring story as it fills
a gap in the historical record regarding indigenous artists of the century just closed.
Robert Perry sits on the Council of Elders of the Chickasaw Nation. He is author
of The Turkey Feather Cape: My Creation from Beyond History and Life with the

A rich pictorial profile of the

morgan chickasaw renaissance

twentieth-century Chickasaw
experience

Chickasaw Renaissance
By Phillip Carroll Morgan
Photographs by David G. Fitzgerald
When Oklahoma achieved statehood in 1907, the U.S. government declared
Chickasaw titles to tribal lands null and void. The Chickasaw Nation was, in effect,
legally abolished. Yet for the next sixty years, the Chickasaws struggled to regain their
sovereign identity, and eventually, in 1970, Congress enacted legislation allowing the
Five Tribes, including the Chickasaws, to elect their own governing officers. In 1983,
the Chickasaws adopted a new constitution for their nation.

In Chickasaw Renaissance, Phillip Carroll Morgan profiles the experiences of the

Chickasaw people during this tumultuous period in their history, from the dissolution
of their government to the resurgence of their nation. A sequel to the award-winning
book Chickasaw: Unconquered and Unconquerable, this equally beautiful volume
features more than 100 new images by celebrated Oklahoma photographer David November

To construct his narrative, Morgan drew on the extensive research of a team of
scholars, who interviewed Chickasaw elders and provided valuable information from
tribal archives. The result is an enlightening exploration of the impact of changing
federal policies on the Chickasaws and other Native tribes of Oklahoma, and a
tribute to the resilience of these peoples as they grappled with the major events of the
twentieth century.

Chronicles the political life of

lovegrove a nation in transition

an important Chickasaw leader

A Nation in Tr ansition
Douglas Henry Johnston and the Chickasaws, 1898–1939
By Michael Lovegrove
Douglas Henry Johnston was governor of the Chickasaw Nation from 1898 to 1902
and from 1904 to 1939. His tenure in this position is the longest of any American
Indian chief executive. In this much-anticipated biography, Michael Lovegrove
chronicles Johnston’s remarkable political life, telling the story of how he led his
people—with diplomacy and efficiency—through the devastating dissolution of tribal
lands at the beginning of the twentieth century and through the contentious struggles
in the three decades that followed.

Drawing on a range of sources, Lovegrove shows the enormous impact Governor

Johnston had on the development of the Chickasaw Nation. A mild-mannered,
intellectually gifted statesman, he stood steadfast at the helm of his people, helping
them navigate federal allotment during the Dawes Commission era at the turn of
the century. In his capacity as the federally appointed Chickasaw governor after

allotment lands. The governor and his colleagues vigorously challenged these taxation American Indian/Biography

initiatives in federal court, arguing that they violated the Dawes Act of 1887, the
Curtis Act of 1898, and the Atoka Agreement of 1902. Fortunately, Johnston lived
and led his people long enough to see new hope emerge in the Indian New Deal of
the 1930s.

A valuable addition to the history of the Chickasaw Nation, this richly textured
historical narrative reveals the tribulations and accomplishments of a great statesman.

Dr. Michael Lovegrove, historian and native Oklahoman, received his BA, MA,
and PhD from the University of Oklahoma. He is a member of several historical
societies, including a life member of the Oklahoma Historical Society and a charter
member of the Chickasaw Historical Society. He is the past President of the Friends

Papers from the 2006 Mayer
Center Symposium at the
Denver Art Museum
Asia and Spanish America
Trans-Pacific Artistic and Cultural Exchange, 1500–1850
Edited by Donna Pierce and Ronald Otsuka
The Denver Art Museum held a symposium in 2006 to examine a little-known aspect
of globalization in the early modern era. Specialists in the arts and history of Asia and
Latin America came from Europe, Asia, and the Americas to present recent research
on connections between the two areas. Edited by Denver Art Museum curators Donna
Pierce and Ronald Otsuka, this volume presents revised and expanded versions of the
papers presented at the symposium.
Gustavo Curiel opens the volume with a discussion of the reception and re-
interpretation of Asian motifs in the various art forms of viceregal New Spain (Mex-
ico). Essays by Etsuko Rodríguez and George Kuwayama present detailed analyses of
Chinese porcelains excavated in Mexico and Peru that were imported via the Manila
galleon trade. Roxanna Brown uses new evidence from shipwrecks in Southeast Asia
to document the China-Manila branch of the trade network. Jorge Rivas looks at
colonial furniture made in northern South America using Asian-inspired techniques
and motifs. Sofía Sanabrais describes the adaptation of the Asian folding screen by
Mexican artists. Meiko Nagashima addresses the exportation of Japanese lacquer
traditions to Spanish America and Spain. Sonia Ocaña analyzes Japanese-inspired
elements in shell-inlaid frames made in Mexico. Marjorie Trusted investigates the
relationship to Asian models of Baroque ivory sculptures produced in the Americas;
Abby Sue Fisher investigates the impact of Asian trade textiles on clothing in
viceregal Mexico; and Clara Bargellini documents Asian trade goods at the missions
of northern Mexico.
An interdisciplinary study bringing together scholars from two fields of art and
addressing a variety of artistic media, this beautifully illustrated volume will be an
important resource for scholars and enthusiasts of Asian and Latin American art
and history.
Donna Pierce is Frederick and Jan Mayer Curator of Spanish Colonial Art at the
Denver Art Museum. Ronald Otsuka is the Dr. Joseph de Heer Curator of Asian Art
at the Denver Art Museum.
