Shooting from the Lip ShooTing from The Lip

The Life of Senator Al Simpson
By Donald Loren Hardy
Shortly before Wyoming’s Alan K. Simpson was elected majority whip of the United
States Senate, he decided to keep a journal. “I am going to make notes when I get
home in the evening, as to what happened during each day.” Now the senator’s
longtime chief of staff, Donald Loren Hardy, has drawn extensively on Simpson’s
personal papers and nineteen-volume diary to write this unvarnished account of a
storied life and political career.
Simpson gave full authorial control to Hardy, telling him, “Don, just tell the truth, The Life of SenaTor
the whole truth, as you always have. Leave teeth, hair, and eyeballs on the floor, if
that results from telling the truth.” Taking Simpson at his word, Hardy shows readers

of this fastest-growing alternative source of electricity
Windfall
Wind Energy in America Today
By Robert W. Righter
Not long ago, energy experts dismissed wind power as unreliable and capricious.
Not anymore. The industry has arrived, and the spinning blades of this new kid on
the electric power block offer hope for a partial solution to our energy problems
by converting nature’s energy into electricity without exposing our planet and its
inhabitants to the dangers of heat, pollution, toxicity, or depletion of irreplaceable
natural resources. Windfall tells the story of this extraordinary transformation and
examines the arguments both for and against wind generation.
In an earlier book, historian Robert W. Righter traced the ways people have used
wind since the dawn of civilization. In Windfall, he explains how wind is transformed
into energy and examines the land-use decisions that affect the establishment of new
wind farms. The book also discusses the role of tax credits and other government
september subsidies in the creation of transmission systems between the turbines and end users

rise to backlash. A critical advocate of wind energy whose career as a historian has
focused on environmental controversies, Righter addresses the cultural dimensions
of resistance to wind energy and makes considered predictions about the directions
wind energy may take. His sympathetic treatment of opposing arguments regarding
landscape change, unwanted noise, bird deaths, and human medical implications
are thought-provoking, as is his recommendation that we place the lion’s share of
turbines on the Great Plains.

A comprehensive history of our largest state

Alaska
A History
By Claus-M. Naske and Herman E. Slotnick
The largest by far of the fifty states, Alaska is also the state of greatest mystery and
diversity. And, as Claus-M. Naske and Herman E. Slotnick show in this comprehensive
survey, the history of Alaska’s peoples and the development of its economy have
matched the diversity of its land- and seascapes.
Alaska: A History begins by examining the region’s geography and the Native
peoples who inhabited it for thousands of years before the first Europeans arrived.
The Russians claimed northern North America by right of discovery in 1741. During
their occupation of “Russian America” the region was little more than an outpost for
fur hunters and traders. When the czar sold the territory to the United States in 1867,
nobody knew what to do with “Seward’s Folly.”
Mainland America paid little attention to the new acquisition until a rush of gold october
seekers flooded into the Yukon Territory. In 1906 Congress granted Alaska Territory $39.95 Cloth 978-0-8061-4040-7

however, was Alaska’s long-sought goal of statehood realized. During World War History
II, Alaska’s place along the great circle route from the United States to Asia firmly
established its military importance, which was underscored during the Cold War.
The developing military garrison brought federal money and many new residents.
Then the discovery of huge oil and natural-gas deposits gave a measure of economic
security to the state.
Alaska: A History provides a full chronological survey of the region’s and state’s
history, including the precedent-setting Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971, Of Related Interest

Stories of Old-Time Oklahoma

By David Dary
Do you know how Oklahoma came to have a panhandle? Did you know that
Washington Irving once visited what is now Oklahoma? Can you name the official
state rock, or list the courses in the official state meal? The answers to these questions,
and others you may not have thought to ask, can be found in this engaging collection
of tales by renowned journalist-historian David Dary.
Most of the stories gathered here first appeared as newspaper articles during the state
centennial in 2007. For this volume Dary has revised and expanded them—and added
new ones. He begins with an overview of Oklahoma’s rich and varied history and
geography, describing the origins of its trails, rails, and waterways and recounting the
many tales of buried treasure that are part of Oklahoma lore.
But the heart of any state is its people, and Dary introduces us to Oklahomans ranging
from Indian leaders Quanah Parker and Satanta, to lawmen Bass Reeves and Bill

Tilghman, to twentieth-century performing artists Woody Guthrie, Will Rogers, and

outlaws and lawmen, inventors and politicians, and the names and pronunciation of
History Oklahoma towns. And he salutes such intellectual and artistic heroes as distinguished
teacher and writer Angie Debo and artist and educator Oscar Jacobson, one of the
first to focus world attention on Indian art.
Reading this book is like listening to a knowledgeable old-timer regale his audience
with historical anecdotes, “so it was said” tall tales, and musings on what it all
means. Whether you’re a native of the Sooner State or a newcomer, you are sure
to learn much from these accounts of the people, places, history, and folklore of
Oklahoma.

An exciting account of the remaking of a football powerhouse—

and its return to glory
Wishbone
Oklahoma Football, 1959–1985
By Wann Smith
Foreword by Jay Wilkinson
“I’ve read and enjoyed every word of this book. It’s a must-read for all Sooner fans.”
—Barry Switzer
The Oklahoma Sooners dominated the world of college football during the 1950s.
Under the leadership of Coach Bud Wilkinson, the team won three national titles
and established an astounding record of forty-seven straight victories that still stands
today. Yet by 1959, Wilkinson’s Sooners were showing signs of vulnerability, marking
the start of a new and challenging era in Oklahoma football. Then along came a new
offensive strategy, and OU began to dominate college football once again.
In Wishbone, veteran journalist Wann Smith provides an in-depth account of september

Wilkinson employed so successfully in the 1950s. Though not without its risks,
the Wishbone offense changed the face of college football and was a key factor in
Oklahoma’s resurgence in the 1970s with Switzer at the helm.
Drawing on firsthand accounts from coaches, players, and university administrators,

many never before published, Smith takes us behind the scenes during this exciting
comeback period to reveal not just what happened but why and how it happened.

A witty memoir of a non-Mormon teacher’s rookie years in Utah

work don’t shoot the gentile
Don’t Shoot the Gentile

By James C. Work
When James Work took a teaching job at the College of Southern Utah in the mid-
1960s, he knew little about teaching and even less about the customs of his Mormon
neighbors. For starters, he did not know he was a “Gentile,” the Mormon term for
anyone not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But just as
he learned to be a religious diplomat and a black-market bourbon runner, he also
discovered that his master’s degree in literature apparently qualified him to teach
journalism, photography, creative writing, advanced essay and feature article writing,
freshman composition, and “vocabulary building.”
With deadpan humor, Work pokes fun at his own naïveté in Don’t Shoot the Gentile,
a memoir of his rookie years teaching at a small college in a small, mostly Mormon
town. From the first pages, Work tells how he navigated the sometimes tricky process
of being an outsider, pulling readers—no matter their religious affiliation—into his
universal fish-out-of-water tale. The title is drawn from a hunting trip Work made
october with fellow faculty members, all Mormons. When a load of buckshot whizzed over

Memoir another one!”
Today the College of Southern Utah is a university, and Cedar City, like most small
towns in the West, is no longer so culturally isolated. James Work left in 1967 to
pursue a doctorate, but his remembrances of the place and its people will do more
than make readers—Mormon and non-Mormon alike—laugh out loud. Work’s
memoir will resonate with anyone who remembers the challenges and small triumphs
of a first job in a new, strange place.

A legendary packer learns his craft—and comes of age—in the
wyman blue heaven

high mountains of Montana
Blue Heaven
A Novel
By Willard Wyman
The year is 1902. A young stock-handler named Fenton Pardee has just survived
the train wreck that almost destroyed William F. Cody’s Wild West show. Surveying
the train’s smoldering ruins—and what is left of Cody’s company of stunt-riders,
trick-shooters, and stage actors—Fenton realizes that turning the West into a circus
to thrill the world is no longer thrilling for him. Salvaging a saddle horse and three
pack mules, he heads back into the West, seeking the reality of the Montana Rockies.
Blue Heaven marks the return of Fenton Pardee, veteran guide and packer, who
figured so memorably in High Country, Willard Wyman’s highly acclaimed first
novel. Now Wyman moves back in time, filling in the story of the legendary packer.
As he begins his westward journey, Fenton is not nearly as sure of where he is going
as of what he wants to leave. Crossing the National Divide, he follows Indian trails
and game trails, learning the lay of the land as he moves into a wilderness that october

The tale of Fenton and Tommy—and of the women they love, one of whom is
tragically taken from them—cuts through the romance of the West to offer an earthier
reality, even as twentieth-century expansion and a looming world war threaten to
take it all away.

Hunter’s Log
Poems by Timothy Murphy
Hunter’s Log is Timothy Murphy’s long-awaited book of hunting poetry. With his
faithful Labrador, Feeney, Murphy wanders in deep snow along the windbreaks of
the Sheyenne and Red River valleys, reciting poetry and firing at the pheasants Feeney
flushes. His poetry is deceptively simple, rhymed verse in the manner of Robert Frost.
Murphy’s poetry is internationally acclaimed, yet he is not well known on the

Great Plains—where his unique poetic vision was shaped. Trained by Robert
Penn Warren and mentored by Richard Wilbur, Murphy has tuned his voice to the
treeless windswept landscapes of the northern plains. His poetry explores the rural
countryside of North Dakota.
Heavily influenced by Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gasset’s Meditation on

Hunting, Murphy sees hunting as a spiritual activity. There is nothing cloistered in
his poetry. He tramps through the tall grass prairie of eastern Dakota and along the

A Free and Hardy Life

Theodore Roosevelt’s Sojourn in the American West
By Clay S. Jenkinson
Foreword by Douglas Brinkley
Theodore Roosevelt ventured into the American West to seek authentic frontier
experience and the strenuous life. The New York aristocrat traveled to western
Dakota Territory in 1883 to kill his first buffalo. He got his buffalo, but he also fell
in love with the badlands of what is now North Dakota.
On impulse, Roosevelt invested a significant portion of his wealth in two badlands

ranches, and he spent the better part of 1883–87 ranching, hunting, serving as deputy
sheriff, writing books, and attempting to become an authentic American cowboy.
In North Dakota the New York dude became the Theodore Roosevelt who led a Distributed for the Dakota Institute

Two distinctive collections of poetry celebrating

murphy mortal stakes / faint thunder
the northern Great Plains
Mortal Stakes · Faint Thunder

New Poetry by Timothy Murphy
Timothy Murphy is a major American poet who lives on the Great Plains. A
fascinating and complicated man and a child of the northern prairie, he writes
deceptively simple poetry. Murphy has been a grain and hog farmer and, like Wallace
Stevens, an insurance salesman, but the twin joys of his life are poetry and hunting.
This double book, Mortal Stakes and Faint Thunder, is the first of several volumes of
his poetry to be published by the Dakota Institute Press.
Murphy’s poetry explores faith, family, spirituality, death, farming, friendship, love,
and sexuality, yet it is profoundly rooted in place—the Red River watershed in North
Dakota and western Minnesota. He tries to make sense of the wide sweep of the
northern plains, to explore how place shapes poetry and how poetry shapes one’s
experience of place.
Murphy is an unpretentious man with a fabulous poetic pedigree. He studied with

Forging a fur empire

Expeditions in the Snake River Country, 1809–1824
By John Phillip Reid
Alexander Ross, the pioneer recorder of the early fur trade in the far northern West,
led a beaver trapping expedition in 1824 into the vast, unfamiliar territory east of
trading posts in the Pacific Northwest. He and his men ventured deep into Snake River
country in present-day Idaho and Montana. In this narrative, based on the accounts
left by Ross and others, historian and legal scholar John Phillip Reid describes
the experiences of the earliest Hudson’s Bay Company fur-trapping expeditions—
ventures usually overlooked by historians—and explores the interaction between the
diverse cultures of the Pacific Northwest.
Ross recorded in exquisite detail the endless vexations of managing a brigade drawn
from the widest possible mixtures of ethnic backgrounds and nationalities—his men
included métis (or mixed-bloods), Americans, Canadians, and Native “freemen”

as well; both French Canadians and Iroquois refused to work on Catholic holy days.
More than merely chronicling Ross’s accounts, Reid uses early trapping expeditions as
a lens for examining legal, institutional, and commercial behavior among the diverse
population the fur trade drew together. In addition, he assesses broader issues such as
cultural conflict between Ross and his men, and the Hudson’s Bay Company’s drive

The Donner Party is almost inextricably linked with cannibalism. In truth, we know
remarkably little about what actually happened to the starving travelers stranded in
the Sierra Nevada in the winter of 1846–47. Combining the approaches of history,
ethnohistory, archaeology, bioarchaeology, and social anthropology, this innovative
look at the Donner Party’s experience at the Alder Creek Camp offers insights into
many long-unsolved mysteries.
Centered on archaeological investigations in the summers of 2003 and 2004 near

fragments reveal butchery scars and microstructure that illuminate what the Donner
families may have eaten before the final days of desperation, how they prepared Archaeology/History
what served as food, and whether they actually butchered and ate their deceased
companions. The contributors reassess old data with new analytic techniques and, by
examining both physical evidence and oral testimony from observers and survivors,
add new dimensions to the historical narrative.

Washoe Indians who observed the Donner Party—destroys some myths, deconstructs

The first full biography of the agent who dared to walk between
kraft ned wynkoop and the lonely road from sand creek
Indians and whites
Ned Wynkoop and the Lonely Road

from Sand Creek
By Louis Kraft
When Edward W. Wynkoop arrived in Colorado Territory during the 1858 gold rush,
he was one of many ambitious newcomers seeking wealth in a promising land mostly
inhabited by American Indians. After he worked as a miner, sheriff, bartender, and
land speculator, Wynkoop’s life drastically changed after he joined the First Colorado
Volunteers to fight for the Union during the Civil War. This sympathetic but critical
biography centers on his subsequent efforts to prevent war with Indians during the
volatile 1860s.
A central theme of Louis Kraft’s engaging narrative is Wynkoop’s daring in standing

up to Anglo-Americans and attempting to end the 1864 Indian war. The Indians
may have been dangerous enemies obstructing “progress,” but they were also human
beings. Many whites thought otherwise, and at daybreak on November 29, 1864,
the Colorado Volunteers attacked Black Kettle’s sleeping camp. Upon learning of the
October
disaster now known as the Sand Creek Massacre, Wynkoop was appalled and spoke $34.95s Cloth 978-0-8061-4226-5

Many of his contemporaries damned his views, but Wynkoop devoted the rest of his Biography/History
career as a soldier and then as a U.S. Indian agent to helping Cheyennes and Arapahos
to survive. The tribes’ lifeways still centered on the dwindling herds of buffalo, but
now they needed guns to hunt. Kraft reveals how hard Wynkoop worked to persuade
the Indian Bureau to provide the tribes with firearms along with their allotments of
food and clothing—a hard sell to a government bent on protecting white settlers and
paving the way for American expansion.
In the wake of Sand Creek, Wynkoop strove to prevent General Winfield Scott Of Related Interest

With contributions by Michael L. Tate and Michael Farrell
Long before Hollywood brought the landscapes of the American West to
movie screens, clever impresarios invented ways of simulating the experience
of western travel and selling it to mass audiences. In 1851, entrepreneur
John Wesley Jones hired artist William Quesenbury to join such a venture.
Quesenbury and other artists traveled the overland trails through Nebraska
Territory to sketch the “scenery, curiosities, and stupendous rocks” they
encountered, and Jones used selected material for his “Pantoscope,” a

depictions, including Pikes Peak and Courthouse Rock, in historical context. Their
insightful essays offer accounts of the artist’s mid-century travels, the worlds of
panoramic art and field exploration, and the contemporary conception of natural
space. In exploring these topics, the book offers alternate conclusions about the
purpose of the sketches. Jones’s moving panorama opened in late 1852 under the
title “Pantoscope of California, Nebraska & Kansas, Salt Lake & the Mormons” and
was wildly popular on Boston and New York stages.

Plains Indian Art

The Pioneering Work of John C. Ewers
Edited by Jane Ewers Robinson
Preface by Candace S. Greene
Introduction by Evan M. Maurer
For almost three-quarters of a century, the study of Plains Indian art has been shaped
by the expertise, wisdom, and inspired leadership of John Canfield Ewers (1909–
97). Based on years of field research with Native Americans, careful scholarship,
and exhaustive firsthand studies of museum collections around the world, Ewers’s
publications have long been required reading for anyone interested in the cultures
of the Plains peoples, especially their visual art traditions. This vividly illustrated
collection of Ewers’s writings presents studies first published in American Indian Art
Magazine and other periodicals between 1968 and 1992.

The
UnkechaUg IndIans of Eastern Long Island
of easTern Long IsLand A History
By John A. Strong
Few people may realize that Long Island is still home to American Indians, the
region’s original inhabitants. One of the oldest reservations in the United States—
the Poospatuck Reservation—is located in Suffolk County, the densely populated
eastern extreme of the greater New York area. The Unkechaug Indians, known also
by the name of their reservation, are recognized by the State of New York but not
a hIsTory by the federal government. This narrative account—written by a noted authority
on the Algonquin peoples of Long Island—is the first comprehensive history of the
John a. strong Unkechaug Indians.
Drawing on archaeological and documentary sources, John A. Strong traces the story

Although granted a large reservation in perpetuity, the Unkechaugs were, like many
American indian/history Indian tribes, the victims of broken promises, and their landholdings diminished
from several thousand acres to fifty-five. Despite their losses, the Unkechaugs have
persisted in maintaining their cultural traditions and autonomy by taking measures
to boost their economy, preserve their language, strengthen their communal bonds,
and defend themselves against legal challenges.
In early histories of Long Island, the Unkechaugs figured only as a colorful backdrop
to celebratory stories of British settlement. Strong’s account, which includes extensive

The Northern Cheyenne Exodus in

History and Memory
By James N. Leiker and Ramon Powers
The exodus of the Northern Cheyennes in 1878 and 1879, an attempt to flee from
Indian Territory to their Montana homeland, is an important event in American
Indian history. It is equally important in the history of towns like Oberlin, Kansas,
where Cheyenne warriors killed more than forty settlers. The Cheyennes, in turn,
suffered losses through violent encounters with the U.S. Army. More than a century
later, the story remains familiar because it has been told by historians and novelists,
and on film. In The Northern Cheyenne Exodus in History and Memory, James N.
Leiker and Ramon Powers explore how the event has been remembered, told, and
retold. They examine the recollections of Indians and settlers and their descendants,
and they consider local history, mass-media treatments, and literature to draw
thought-provoking conclusions about how this story has changed over time.
The Cheyennes’ journey has always been recounted in melodramatic stereotypes,

transcend them, pointing out that history is never so simple. “The Cheyennes’ flight,” American Indian/history
they write, “had left white and Indian bones alike scattered along its route from
Oklahoma to Montana.” In this view, the descendants of the Cheyennes and the
settlers they encountered are all westerners who need history as a “way of explaining
the bones and arrowheads” that littered the plains.
Leiker and Powers depict a rural West whose diverse peoples—Euro-American and
Native American alike—seek to preserve their heritage through memory and history.

Winning the West with Words

Language and Conquest in the Lower Great Lakes
By James Joseph Buss
Indian Removal was a process both physical and symbolic, accomplished not only
at gunpoint but also through language. In the Midwest, white settlers came to speak
and write of Indians in the past tense, even though they were still present. Winning
the West with Words explores the ways nineteenth-century Anglo-Americans used
language, rhetoric, and narrative to claim cultural ownership of the region that
comprises present-day Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois.
Historian James Joseph Buss borrows from literary studies, geography, and an-
thropology to examine images of stalwart pioneers and vanished Indians used
by American settlers in portraying an empty landscape in which they established
farms, towns, and “civilized” governments. He demonstrates how this now-familiar
narrative came to replace a more complicated history of cooperation, adaptation,
and violence between peoples of different cultures.

narratives about westward expansion, American democracy, and unlimited national
progress. Buss probes beneath this narrative of conquest to show the ways Indians,

A new perspective on Sequoyah’s enduring invention
cushman the cherokee syllabary

The Cherokee Syllabary
Writing the People’s Perseverance
By Ellen Cushman
In 1821, Sequoyah, a Cherokee metalworker and inventor, introduced a writing
system that he had been developing for more than a decade. His creation—the
Cherokee syllabary—helped his people learn to read and write within five years
and became a principal part of their identity. This groundbreaking study traces the
creation, dissemination, and evolution of Sequoyah’s syllabary from script to print
to digital forms. Breaking with conventional understanding, author Ellen Cushman
shows that the syllabary was not based on alphabetic writing, as is often thought, but
rather on Cherokee syllables and, more importantly, on Cherokee meanings.
Employing an engaging narrative approach, Cushman relates how Sequoyah created

his early career
George Crook
From the Redwoods to Appomattox
By Paul Magid
Renowned for his prominent role in the Apache and Sioux wars, General George
Crook (1828–90) was considered by William Tecumseh Sherman to be his greatest
Indian-fighting general. Although Crook was feared by Indian opponents on the
battlefield, in defeat the tribes found him a true friend and advocate who earned their
trust and friendship when he spoke out in their defense against political corruption
and greed.
Paul Magid’s detailed and engaging narrative focuses on Crook’s early years through
the end of the Civil War. Magid begins with Crook’s boyhood on the Ohio frontier
and his education at West Point, then recounts his nine years’ military service in
California during the height of the Gold Rush. It was in the Far West that Crook
acquired the experience and skills essential to his success as an Indian fighter.
September This is primarily an account of Crook’s dramatic and sometimes controversial role in

and Virginia. Crook saw action during the battle of Antietam and played important
Biography/Military History roles in two major offensives in the Shenandoah Valley and in the Chattanooga
and Appomattox campaigns. His courage, leadership, and tactical skills won him
the respect and admiration of his commanding officers, including Generals Grant
and Sheridan. He soon rose to the rank of major general and received four brevet
promotions for bravery and meritorious service. Along the way, he led both infantry
and cavalry, pioneered innovations in guerrilla warfare, conducted raids deep into
enemy territory, and endured a kidnapping by Confederate partisans.

How the northern plains were remade in the

late nineteenth century
After Custer
Loss and Transformation in Sioux Country
By Paul L. Hedren
Between 1876 and 1877, the U.S. Army battled Lakota Sioux and Northern Cheyenne
Indians in a series of vicious conflicts known today as the Great Sioux War. After
the defeat of Custer at the Little Big Horn in June 1876, the army responded to its
stunning loss by pouring fresh troops and resources into the war effort. In the end,
the U.S. Army prevailed, but at a significant cost. In this unique contribution to
American western history, Paul L. Hedren examines the war’s effects on the culture,
environment, and geography of the northern Great Plains, their Native inhabitants,
and the Anglo-American invaders.
As Hedren explains, U.S. military control of the northern plains following the Great
Sioux War permitted the Northern Pacific Railroad to extend westward from the
Missouri River. The new transcontinental line brought hide hunters who targeted the
great northern buffalo herds and ultimately destroyed them. A de-buffaloed prairie

History
meanwhile, faced a different set of challenges, among them providing security for the
railroad crews, hide hunters, and cattlemen.
Hedren is the first scholar to examine the events of 1876–77 and their aftermath as
a whole, taking into account relationships among military leaders, the building of
forts, and the army’s efforts to memorialize the war and its victims. Woven into his
narrative are the voices of those who witnessed such events as the burial of Custer,
the laying of railroad track, or the sudden surround of a buffalo herd. Their personal Of Related Interest

Deep Trails in the Old West

A Frontier Memoir
By Frank Clifford
Edited by Frederick Nolan
Cowboy and drifter Frank Clifford lived a lot of lives—and raised a lot of hell—in
the first quarter of his life. The number of times he changed his name—Clifford being
just one of them—suggests that he often traveled just steps ahead of the law. During
the 1870s and 1880s his restless spirit led him all over the Southwest, crossing the
paths of many of the era’s most notorious characters, most notably Clay Allison and
Billy the Kid.
More than just an entertaining and informative narrative of his Wild West adventures,
Clifford’s memoir also paints a picture of how ranchers and ordinary folk lived,
worked, and stayed alive during those tumultuous years. Written in 1940 and edited
and annotated by Frederick Nolan, Deep Trails in the Old West is likely one of the
october last eyewitness histories of the old West ever to be discovered.

helpful annotation without censoring either the author’s strong opinions or his racial
biases. For all its roughness, Deep Trails in the Old West is a rich resource of frontier

Seven plays by the master of Chicano storytelling

Billy the Kid and Other Plays
By Rudolfo Anaya
Afterword by Cecilia J. Aragón and Robert Con Davis-Undiano
While award-winning author Rudolfo Anaya is known primarily as a novelist, his
genius is also evident in dramatic works performed regularly in his native New
Mexico and throughout the world. Billy the Kid and Other Plays collects seven of
these works and offers them together for the first time.
Like his novels, many of Anaya’s plays are built from the folklore of the Southwest.
This volume opens with The Season of La Llorona, in which Anaya fuses the
Mexican legend of the dreaded “crying woman” with that of La Malinche, mistress
and adviser to Hernán Cortés. Southwestern lore also shapes the title play, which
provides a Mexican American perspective on the Kid—or Bilito, as he is known in
New Mexico—along with keen insight into the slipperiness of history. The Farolitos
of Christmas and Matachines uncover both the sweet and the sinister in stories behind
seasonal New Mexican rituals. volume 10 in the chicana & chicano

Elegant and poetic, intense and funny, these are the plays Anaya considers his best.
The author tells how each originated, while Cecilia J. Aragón and Robert Con Davis-

new to his work will find this collection a rich trove, as will community theaters and
scholars in Chicano literature and drama.

Playing with Shadows

Voices of Dissent in the Mormon West
Edited by Polly Aird, Jeff Nichols, and Will Bagley
This collection of narratives by four individuals who abandoned Mormonism—
“apostates,” as Brigham Young and other Latter-day Saint leaders labeled them—
provides an overview of dissent from the beginning of the religion to the early
twentieth century and presents a wide range of disaffection with the faith or its
leaders.
Instead of focusing on a single disheartened individual or sect, this collection includes

dissenters with different motivations and a wide range of experiences. Some devout
Mormon converts, finding Brigham Young’s implementation of the Kingdom of God
disillusioning, turned their backs on religion in general. Yet most never lost their love

Parley P. Pratt and the Making of

Edited and with contributions by Gregory K. Armstrong,
Matthew J. Grow, and Dennis J. Siler
Parley P. Pratt joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1830 and
was murdered in 1857 by the estranged husband of his twelfth plural wife. An
original member of the Church’s Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, Pratt played a key
leadership role for the Mormons. His writings, including poetry, apologetics, and an
autobiography, helped define Mormon theology and identity, and his hymns remain
popular today.
Arguably Mormonism’s most influential early leader after Joseph Smith and Brigham
Young, Pratt is also one of its least understood. This collection of essays uses Pratt’s
life and writings as a means for gaining insight on early Latter-day Saint history,
including the Church’s initial internationalization, vibrant print culture, development
of a unique theology, family dynamics, and the Mountain Meadows Massacre. december

on behalf of Mormonism. His murder is also situated within competing narratives
of religious martyrdom and sexual deviance, Victorian domestic ideals and domestic
abuse.
Because Pratt was killed in Arkansas, the massacre of Arkansas emigrants at Mountain
Meadows in Utah has long been viewed as vengeance for his death. This well-crafted
collection shows that view to be oversimplified. The narratives that emerge here will
appeal to anyone seeking to understand the nuances of early Mormon history in the
context of one of its most important and controversial figures. Of Related Interest

Justinian Caire and Santa Cruz Island

The Rise and Fall of a California Dynasty
By Frederic Caire Chiles
Foreword by Marla Daily
One of the fabled Channel Islands of Southern California, Santa Cruz was once
the largest privately owned island off the coast of the continental United States.
This multifaceted account traces the island’s history from its aboriginal Chumash
population to its acquisition by The Nature Conservancy at the end of the twentieth
century. The heart of the book, however, is a family saga: the story of French émigré
Justinian Caire and his descendants, who owned and occupied the island for more
than fifty years. The author, descended from Caire, uses family archives unavailable
to earlier historians to recount the full, previously untold story.
Justinian Caire and Santa Cruz Island opens with Caire’s early life as a San Francisco
businessman and his acquisition of Santa Cruz Island, where he created a ranching
october kingdom based on sheep, cattle, and wine. Frederic Caire Chiles examines the business

island’s economic ups and downs and the environmental impact of ranching in
History those days. Above all, he looks at the family’s daily life on the island from the mid-
nineteenth into the twentieth century. This epic contains tragic elements, as well.
What began as a profitable ranch and an idyllic retreat ended in the family divided
by bitter litigation and the forced sale of the island. Family diaries and letters enable
Chiles to tell the story of an intensely private clan and its struggle to hold an island
dynasty together.
The history of Santa Cruz Island has never been told so thoroughly or so well. Replete

By Thomas J. Harvey
The Colorado River Plateau is home to two of the best-known landscapes in the

West, and advertising continues to exploit their significance today. In Rainbow

WD Farr
Cowboy in the Boardroom
By Daniel Tyler
Foreword by Senator Hank Brown
“Always a better way” was WD Farr’s motto. As a Colorado rancher, banker, cattle
feeder, and expert in irrigation, Farr (1910–2007) had a unique talent for building
consensus and instigating change in an industry known for its conservatism. With his
persistent optimism and gregarious personality, Farr’s influence extended from next-
door neighbors and business colleagues to U.S. presidents and foreign dignitaries.
In this biography, Daniel Tyler chronicles Farr’s singular life and career. At the same
time, he tells a broader story of sweeping changes in agricultural production and
irrigated agriculture in Colorado and across the West during the twentieth century.
WD was a third-generation descendant of western farming pioneers, who specialized

in sheep feeding. While learning all he could from his father and grandfather, WD
august developed a new vision: to make cattle profitable. He sought out experienced

biography took off. With his new innovations in place, WD was ready.
Tyler also reveals WD’s influence in securing water supplies for farmers and ranchers
and in establishing water conservation policies. Early in his career, WD helped sell
the Colorado–Big Thompson Project to skeptical, debt-ridden farmers. In 1955, he
became a board member for the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District, a
post he held for forty years.

Ancient Ceramics from the Mouth of the Amazon
By Margaret Young-Sánchez and Denise Pahl Schaan
The Amazon Basin is now recognized as a cradle of cultural and technological
innovation in the ancient Americas. It was there that the hemisphere’s earliest known
ceramics (ca. 5000 b.c.) were produced. Located at the mouth of the Amazon
River in Brazil, Marajó Island was home to one of the region’s most populous and
sophisticated ancient societies (a.d. 300–1300). Island chiefdoms built impressive
mounds to support multifamily longhouses, ceremonial spaces, and cemeteries,
and constructed channels, dams, and weirs to trap huge quantities of fish as the
annual floodwaters receded. Aquaculture, rather than agriculture, provided the
primary source of subsistence for the Marajó people. Their beautifully decorated
ceramics reveal the skill and artistry of Amazonian potters and the complexity of
their cosmology.

Dynamic Chickasaw Women

By Phillip Carroll Morgan and Judy Goforth Parker
It has become tradition for Chickasaw governor Bill Anoatubby to open his public
addresses with a tribute to the unconquered and unconquerable warriors and to
the dynamic women of the Chickasaw Nation. The most prominent contemporary
advocacy of the phrase “dynamic woman” is the rigorously judged Chickasaw
Nation Dynamic Woman of the Year Award.
Researched and written by Phillip Carroll Morgan and Judy Goforth Parker, Dynamic
Chickasaw Women presents biographies of carefully chosen dynamic women from
the histories of Indian Removal, Indian Territory, and early Oklahoma statehood.
This book demonstrates that the diversity and distinction represented by today’s
recipients of that honor are also found in historical counterparts among the dynamic
Chickasaw women of the eighteenth, nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries.

“The Moravian records contribution to Cherokee history is invaluable . . . [and]

provides a body of work that gives us a look into our past and will help us better
understand where we are going. The Cherokees are grateful to have these recordings of
our history.”—Wilma Mankiller, Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation (1985–95)
Distributed for Cherokee National Press
Using original diaries, minutes, reports, and correspondence in the Moravian Archives

culture, society, and customs. american indian
Volume 3, spanning the years 1805 to 1810, chronicles the arrival of John and Anna
Rosina Gambold to the mission. Anna Rosina proved dedicated to the education of
Cherokee children, and the mission took on a new life and character. The Gambolds
soon won the people’s affection and respect, and Chief Chuleoa, who at first opposed
the mission, became their friend. These years also witnessed the tragic death of
James Vann, the Moravians’ benefactor among the Cherokees, and the mission’s first
successful baptism of a Cherokee into the Moravian Church.
Volume 4 continues the story through 1816, when earthquakes ushered in a period
of upheaval—from the Cherokees’ involvement in the Creek War, to Métis battles
in Canada, to Napoleon’s conquests in Europe. Meanwhile, the little Moravian
mission of Springplace added new members, including Charles Hicks, soon to be
elected Second Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation, while Anna and her husband
continued work with their Cherokee students.
C. Daniel Crews is Archivist and Richard W. Starbuck is Assistant Archivist of the November
