Loren MillerCivil Rights Attorney and Journalist

By Amina Hassan

Loren Miller was one of the nations most prominent civil rights attorneys from

the 1940s through the early 1960s, particularly in the fields of housing and

education. With co-counsel Thurgood Marshall, he argued two landmark civil

rights cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, whose decisions effectively abolished

racially restrictive housing covenants. One of these cases, Shelley v. Kraemer

(1948), is taught in nearly every American law school today. Loren Miller: Civil

Rights Attorney and Journalist recovers this remarkable figure from the margins of

history and for the first time fully reveals his life for what it was: an extraordinary

American story and a critical chapter in the annals of racial justice.

Born the son of a former slave and a white midwesterner in 1903, Loren Miller

lived the quintessential American success story, both by rising from rural poverty

to a position of power and influence and by blazing his own path. Author Amina

Hassan reveals Miller as a fearless critic of the powerful and an ardent debater

whose acid wit was known to burn holes in the toughest skin and eat right

through double-talk, hypocrisy, and posturing.

As a freshly minted member of the bar who preferred political activism and writing

to the law, Miller set out for Los Angeles from Kansas in 1929. Hassan describes his

early career as a fiery radical journalist, as well as his ownership of the California

Eagle, one of the longest-running African American newspapers in the West. In his

work with the California branch of the ACLU, Miller sought to halt the internment

of West Coast Japanese citizens, helped integrate the U.S. military and the L.A. Fire

Department, and defended Black Muslims arrested in a deadly street battle with

the LAPD. Hassan charts Millers ceaseless commitment to improving the lives

of Americans regardless of their race or ethnicity. In 1964, Governor Edmund G.

Brown appointed Miller as a Municipal Court justice for Los Angeles County.

The story told here in full for the first time is of a true American original who

defied societal limitations to reshape the racial and political landscape of

twentieth-century America.

Amina Hassan, Ph.D., is an independent historian and award-winning public radio documentarian whose productions include a 13-part series for National Public

Radio on how race, class, and gender shape American sports. She currently works

as a media content consultant and researcher for The Azara Group.

The University of OklahomaA History, Volume II: 19171950

By David W. Levy

In 1917 it was still possible for the University of Oklahomas annual Catalogue to

include a roster of every students name and hometown. A compact and close-knit

community, those 2,500 students and their 130 professors studied and taught at

a respectable (though small, relatively uncomplicated, and rather insular) regional

university. During the following third of a century, the school underwent changes

so profound that their cumulative effect amounted to a transformation. This second

volume in David Levys projected three-part history chronicles these changes,

charting the Universitys course through one of the most dramatic periods in

American history.

Following Oklahomas flagship school through decades that saw six U.S. presidents,

eleven state governors, and five university presidents, Volume 2 of The University of

Oklahoma: A History documents the institutions evolution into a complex, diverse,

and multifaceted seat of learning. By 1950 enrollment had increased fivefold, and

by every measurethe number of colleges and campus buildings, degrees awarded

and programs offered, volumes in the library, faculty publications, out-of-state and

foreign students in attendancethe University was on its way to becoming a world-

class educational institution.

Levy weaves together human and institutional history as he describes the schools

remarkablesometimes remarkably difficultdevelopment in response to

unprecedented factors: two world wars, the cultural shifts of the 1920s, the Great

Depression, the rise of the petroleum industry, the farm crisis and Dust Bowl, the

emergence of new technologies, and new political and social forces such as those

promoting and resisting racial justice.

National and world events, state politics, campus leadership, the ever-changing

student body: in triumph and defeat, in small successes and grand accomplishments,

all come to varied and vibrant life in this second installment of the definitive history

of Oklahomas storied center of learning.

David W. Levy is retired as the Irene and Julian J. Rothbaum Professor of Modern American History and David Ross Boyd Professor of History at the University of

Oklahoma. He is the author of Herbert Croly of the New Republic: The Life and

Thought of an American Progressive; The Debate over Vietnam; and Mark Twain:

The Sooner StoryThe University of Oklahoma, 18902015

By Anne Barajas Harp

Foreword by Carol J. Burr

David Ross Boyd stepped off the train in Norman, Oklahoma, on August 6, 1892,

and looked toward the southwest. There was not a tree or shrub in sight, wrote

the former Kansas school superintendent just hired to serve as the University of

Oklahomas first president. Behind me was a crude little town of 1,500 people,

and before me was a stretch of prairie on which my helpers and I were to build an

institution of culture.

By 1895, five years after the Universitys official founding, the school boasted four

faculty members (three men and one woman) and 100 students. Today the campus

is home to more than 30,000 students and 2,700 full-time faculty and is one of the

most respected public universities in the nation, with twenty-one colleges offering

hundreds of majors at the bachelors, masters, and doctoral level.

OUs remarkable journey from that treeless prairie to its present standing as a

world-class institution of learning unfolds in The Sooner Story. Arriving upon

the universitys 125th anniversary, the book updates a history that last left off in

1980, when William Slater Banowsky was at the helm. Author Anne Barajas Harp

examines the schools history through the lens of each presidential administration

from the beginning of David Ross Boyds tenure to the present moment in David

Lyle Borens presidency, now in its third decade. In describing what each president

encountered in his turn, she captures the unique character, challenges, and

accomplishments of each administration, as these reflect the universitys growth and

progress through the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

Discouraged? Boyd wrote at his arrival in 1892. Not a bit. The sight was a

challenge. The Sooner Story conveys the inspiration and excitement of meeting and

renewing that challenge over the past 125 years.

Anne Barajas Harp is Assistant Editor of Publications at the OU Foundation. Her 1987 OU journalism degree led to a career as a newspaper reporter, university

public relations director, and award-winning feature writer. OU 1959 journalism

graduate Carol J. Burr recently retired from a celebrated 40-year career as Director of Publications for the OU Foundation and as Editor of Sooner Magazine.

Poems from the Ro GrandeBy Rudolfo Anaya

Foreword by Robert Con Davis-Undiano

Readers of Rudolfo Anayas fiction know the lyricism of his prose, but most do not

know him as a poet. In this, his first collection of poetry, Anaya presents twenty-

eight of his best poems, most of which have never before been published. Featuring

works written in English and Spanish over the course of three decades, Poems from

the Ro Grande offers readers a full body of work showcasing Anayas literary and

poetic imagination.

Although the poems gathered here take a variety of formshaiku, elegy, epicall

are imbued with the same lyrical and satirical styles that underlie Anayas fiction.

Together they make a fascinating complement to the novels, stories, and plays for

which he is well known. In verse, Anaya explores every aspect of Chicano identity,

beginning with memories of his childhood in a small New Mexico village and

ending with mature reflections on being a Chicano who considers himself connected

to all peoples. The collection articulates themes at the heart of all Anayas work:

nostalgia for the landscape and customs of his boyhood in rural New Mexico, a

deep connection to the Ro Grande, the politics of Chicanismo and satire aimed at

it, and the use of myth and history as metaphor.

Anaya also illustrates his familiarity with world traditions of poetry, invoking Walt

Whitman, Homer, and the Bible. The poem to Isis that concludes the collection

honors Anayas wife, Patricia, and reflects his increasing identification with spiritual

traditions across the globe.

Both profeta and vato, seer and homeboy, Anaya as author is a citizen of the world.

Poems from the Ro Grande offers readers a glimpse into his development as a poet

and as one of the most celebrated Chicano authors of our time.

Rudolfo Anaya is Professor Emeritus of English at the University of New Mexico and author of numerous books, including The Old Mans Love Story. Robert Con Davis-Undiano is Executive Director of World Literature Today magazine and Neustadt Professor of Comparative Literature at the University of Oklahoma.

Winters HawkRed-tails on the Southern Plains

By Jim Lish

Every autumn, thousands of migrating Red-tailed Hawks arrive on the southern

Great Plains to spend the winter, and Oklahoma is one of the best places to observe

this amazing phenomenon. Above the prairie, as Oscar Hammerstein wrote, they

make lazy circles in the sky, but not for entertainment, theirs or ours. Author Jim

Lish draws on more than forty years experience as a professional biologist and

ornithologist to present almost two hundred color photographs of Red-tails and

relate important lessons in southern Great Plains biodiversity, underscoring the

place of the Red-tailed Hawk in Oklahomas tallgrass prairie ecology.

Winters Hawk introduces the reader to the hawks biology, social behavior, and

useful role in limiting destructive rodent populations. In sharing many anecdotes

from his long experience in the field, Lish describes the hunting techniques of

Red-tails, their competition with other raptors, and their behavior in the presence

of human observers. He describes the subtle differences in plumage, and other

characteristics between the various subspecies of Red-tailed Hawks that winter

here. His account of their behavior includes intergenerational warfare, in which

young Red-tails are frequently the losers. Detailed and scientifically accurate, this

informal, jargon-free account will appeal to birders, sportsmen, naturalists, and

falconers as well as biologists.

Red-tails can see ultraviolet light, which enables them to easily locate trails left by

rodents. Cotton rats are by far their most important winter food, but they also eat

carrion, large snakes, medium-sized mammals, and smaller birds. The main motive

for the birds behavior, Lish reminds us, is survival, and he includes birds-eye

views of the hazards Red-tails face: foot injuries, damage to feathers, starvation,

electrocution, and illegal shooting.

A treasure trove of rich descriptive writing and astonishing photographs, Winters

Hawk inspires readers to help preserve these magnificent birds of prey so that future

generations may see a Red-tail standing sentinel over a field or circling above it.

Jim Lish is Associate Professor of Physiological Sciences at the Center for Veterinary Health Sciences, Oklahoma State University. He has published numerous articles in

scientific journals, including the Proceedings of the Oklahoma Academy of Sciences,

The Southwestern Naturalist, the Journal of Raptor Research, and the Bulletin of

the Oklahoma Ornithological Society.

WahbThe Biography of a Grizzly

By Ernest Thompson Seton

Edited by Jeremy M. Johnston and Charles R. Preston

First published more than a century ago, The Biography of a Grizzly recounts the

life of a fictitious bear named Wahb who lived and died in the Greater Yellowstone

region. This new edition combines Ernest Thompson Setons classic tale and original

illustrations with historical and scientific context for Wahbs story, providing a

thorough understanding of the setting, cultural connections, biology, and ecology of

Setons best-known book.

By the time The Biography of a Grizzly was published in 1900, grizzly bears

had been hunted out of much of their historical range in North America. The

characterization of Wahb, along with Setons other anthropomorphic tales of

American wildlife, helped to change public perceptions and promote conservation.

As editors Jeremy M. Johnston and Charles R. Preston remind us, however, Setons

approach to writing about animals put him at the center of the Nature-Faker

controversy of the early twentieth century, when John Burroughs and Theodore

Roosevelt, among others, denounced sentimental representations of wildlife.

The editors address conservation scientists continuing concerns about inaccurate

depictions of nature in popular culture. Despite its anthropomorphism, Setons

paradoxical book imparts a good deal of insightful and accurate natural history,

even as its exaggerations shaped early-twentieth-century public opinion on

conservation in often counterproductive ways. By complicating Setons enthralling

tale with scientific observations of grizzly behavior in the wild, Johnston and

Preston evaluate the storys accuracy and bring the story of Yellowstone grizzlies

into the present day.

Preserving the 1900 editions original design and illustrations, Wahb brings new

understanding to an American classic, updating the book for current and future

generations.

Ernest Thompson Seton (18601946) was a British-born author, wildlife artist, cofounder of the Boy Scouts of America, and early pioneer of the modern school

of animal fiction writing whose best-known book is Wild Animals I Have Known.

Jeremy M. Johnston is Curator of the Buffalo Bill Museum and Western American History, and Managing Editor of The Papers of William F. Cody at the McCracken

Research Library, Buffalo Bill Center of the West, Cody, Wyoming. Charles R. Preston is Willis McDonald IV Senior Curator of Natural Science at the Buffalo Bill Center of the Wests Draper Natural History Museum.

In Love and WarThe World War II Courtship Letters of a Nisei Couple

By Melody M. Miyamoto Walters

The events of December 7, 1941, rocked the lives of people around the world. The

bombing of Pearl Harbor had intimate repercussions, too, especially in the territory

of Hawaii. In Love and War recounts the wartime experiences of author Melody

M. Miyamoto Walterss grandparents, two second-generation Japanese Americans,

or Nisei, living in Hawaii. Their love story, narrated in letters they wrote each other

from July 1941 to June 1943, offers a unique view of Hawaiian Nisei and the social

and cultural history of territorial Hawaii during World War II.

Drawing on her grandparents letters, Miyamoto Walters fleshes out what it meant

to live and work on the islands of Kauai, Oahu, and Hawaii during the war years.

Although to outsiders, twenty-somethings Yoshiharu Ogata and Naoko Tsukiyama

were both Japs, the couple came from different socioeconomic classes and

cultures. Naoko, the authors grandmother, hailed from a prosperous Honolulu

merchant family, whereas Yoshiharu grew up poor, part of the laboring class on a

sugar plantation on Kauai. Their courtship was riddled with challenges. He stayed

on Oahu, then moved to Kauai; she moved to the Big Island. Yoshiharu faced the

possibility of being drafted into the military. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor,

they both lived under martial law.

Some Americans, operating under nativist and xenophobic beliefs, questioned

Japanese Americans loyalty to the United States. But, as the letters collected here

show, the Nisei were patriots. Naoko and Yoshiharu spoke English, participated in

the YMCA and the USO, and taught in public schools. They embraced American

popular culturequoting lines of pop songs in their correspondenceand

celebrated both Japanese and American traditions. Through their experiences,

Miyamoto Walters shows how Japanese Americans negotiation of race, ethnicity,

and cultural space in wartime indelibly shaped Hawaiis postwar economic,

political, and social landscape.

Melody M. Miyamoto Walters is Professor of History at Collin College in McKinney, Texas. Her articles have appeared in Overland Journal, the Journal of

Documentary Editing, and the Encyclopedia of Immigration and Migration in the

American West.

Out Where the West BeginsProfiles, Visions, and Strategies of Early Western Business Leaders

By Philip F. Anschutz

With William J. Convery and Thomas J. Noel

Between 1800 and 1920, an extraordinary cast of bold innovators and

entrepreneursindividuals such as Cyrus McCormick, Brigham Young, Henry

Wells and James Fargo, Fred Harvey, Levi Strauss, Adolph Coors, J. P. Morgan, and

Buffalo Bill Codyhelped lay the groundwork for what we now call the American

West. They were people of imagination and courage, adept at maneuvering the

rapids of change, alert to opportunity, persistent in their missions.

They had big ideas they were not afraid to test. They stitched the country together

with the first transcontinental railroad, invented the Model A and built the

roads it traveled on, raised cities and supplied them with water and electricity,

established banks for immigrant populations, entertained the world with film and

showmanship, and created a new form of western hospitality for early travelers.

Not all were ideal role models. Most, however, once they had made their fortunes,

shared them in the form of cultural institutions, charities, libraries, parks, and other

amenities that continue to enrich lives in the West today.

Out Where the West Begins profiles some fifty of these individuals, tracing the

arcs of their lives, exploring their backgrounds and motivations, identifying their

contributions, and analyzing the strategies they developed to succeed in their

chosen fields.

Philip F. Anschutz has business interests in communications, transportation, natural and renewable resources, real estate, lodging, and entertainment. Among his

personal interests are the study of western history and collecting paintings of the

early American West. William J. Converyis State Historian and Director of Exhibits and Interpretation for History Colorado.Thomas J. Noelis Professor of History and Director of Public History, Preservation, and Colorado Studies at University of

The Sons of Charlie RussellCelebrating Fifty Years of the Cowboy Artists of America

By B. Byron Price

If you grew up on American soil, whether you were a boy or a girl, you probably

played Cowboys and Indians in your backyard. If you grew up in the 1940s

and 1950s, you no doubt watched Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, and Gene Autry

with undying devotion, which is exactly why so many feel a very real and vivid

connection to western art.

The Cowboy Artists of America (CAA) was formed in 1965 at the Oak Creek

Tavern in Sedona, Arizona, by Joe Beeler, Charlie Dye, John Hampton, and George

Phippen. The twenty active members and nine emeritus members continued to feel

the influence of Charlie Russell and Frederic Remington, as well as other early

artists of the American West. The organization has weathered the oil boom and

bust, the rise and fall of the stock market, and the tech bubble. Through it all, its

members have been championed by individual, corporate, and museum collectors

who have embraced their art and the stories it tells.

The CAA is fifty years strong and looking forward to the next fifty years. The

Sons of Charlie Russell commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the formation

of the Cowboy Artists of America. From the beginning, the CAA set its course to

perpetuate the history, romance, and importance of the American West.

The history of these artists as described in this book comes alive with essays,

photographs and beautiful images of their work as it portrays the life of real

Indians and cowboys.

B. Byron Price is Director of the Charles M. Russell Center for the Study of the American West and holds the Charles Marion Russell Memorial Chair in the

School of Art and Art History, University of Oklahoma. He is author of Imagining

the Open Range: Erwin E. Smith, Cowboy Photographer.

Memories of the Cultural RevolutionPoems

By Luo Ying

Translated by Denis Mair

At once a work of narrative lyricism and an act of personal courage, this memoir

in verse documents the human cost of a period of political turmoil in Chinas

recent past. Luo Yingthe pen name of Huang Nubo, a celebrated poet, Forbes

billionaire, and mountain climberdraws readers into the depths of the Cultural

Revolution (19661976) by rendering its defining moments in his life with

devastating precision and clarity. The narrative poems that make up Memories of

the Cultural Revolution combine the ardor of youthful experience with the cooler

insight of mature reflection, offering a nuanced picture of life in the midst of

historic change.

The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution marked a critical passage on Chinas

road to modernity, as momentous for the world as it was for one boy caught up in

its throes. In poetry that juxtaposes the political and the personal, the social and the

individual, Luo Ying depicts a time when ultraleftist mass movements and factional

struggles penetrated the deepest level of private daily life. In bleak yet vivid portraits

of his mother, father, classmates, and coworkers, he reveals how the period indelibly

marred him. I am a red guard just as I always was, he writes.

Giving voice to the inner life of a man haunted by his experiences, Memories of the

Cultural Revolution bears witness to a traumatic time when ideology threatened to

crush individuality. Luo Yings poetry stands as eloquent testimony to the power of

the individual voice to endure in the face of dire social and historical circumstances.

Luo Ying is founder and chairman of the Beijing Zhongkun Investment Group and director of the Chinese Poetry Institute of Peking University. He is author of several

collections of poetry in Chinese. Denis Mair has translated the work of numerous Chinese poets into English, including the volumes Rhapsody in Black: Poems, by

Jidi Majia, and Reading the Times: Poems of Yan Zhi.

Chutzpah!New Voices from China

Edited by Ou Ning and Austin Woerner

To Westerners China has often seemed a monolith, speaking with one voice

whether that of an ancient dynasty, a socialist state, or an economic powerhouse.

Chutzpah! New Voices from China shatters this illusion, giving Western readers a

rare chance to listen to the brilliant polyphony of Chinese fiction today.

Here, in the realms of realism and fantasy, and portraying worlds lyrical, gritty, or

wildly avant-garde, sixteen selectionsthree of which are nonfictionby up-and-

coming Chinese writers take readers from the suburbs of Nanjing to the mountains

of Xinjiang Province, from Londons Chinatown to a universe seemingly sprung

from a video game. In these stories one may encounter a sweet, lonely fabric store

owner or a lesbian housecleaner, a posse of shit-talking vo-tech students or a human

hive-mind. A jeep-driving swordsman girds himself for battle by reading Borges and

Nabokov. A Beijing-raised Kazakh boy hunts for his lost heritage. A teenager plots

revenge on the bureaucrat responsible for demolishing his home. A starving child

falls in love with a water spirit.

These stories, collected by Ou Ning and Austin Woerner, and offered in English by

leading translators of Chinese, travel the breadth and depth of Chinas remarkable

literary landscape. Drawn from the pages of Chutzpah!, once one of Chinas most

innovative literary magazines, this anthology bids farewell to the tired tropes

of moonlight and peach blossoms, goodbye to the constraints of social realism.

In their place it introduces us to the imaginative power, limitless creativity, and

kaleidoscopic pleasures of a new generation of Chinese fiction.

A Bishan-based artist, curator, and cultural activist, Ou Ning is author of New Sound of Beijing. He served as editor-in-chief of Chutzpah! magazine (20112014),

from which this collection is drawn. Composer and translator Austin Woerner is translator of Doubled Shadows: Selected Poems of Ouyang Jianghe; he was the

English editor for Chutzpah!

Following OilFour Decades of Cycle-Testing Experiences and What

They Foretell about U.S. Energy Independence

By Thomas A. Petrie

A compelling story of lessons learned from experience that lead to the expectation

of a strong future for the supply of energy in the United States.George P. Shultz, U.S. Secretary of State (19821989) and Chair, Precourt Energy Institute, Stanford

University

In a forty-year career as an oil and gas investment analyst and as an investment

banker and strategic adviser on petroleum-sector mergers, acquisitions, and financings,

Thomas A. Petrie has witnessed dramatic changes in the business. In Following Oil, he

shares useful lessons he has learned about domestic and global trends in population

and economic growth, a maturing resource base, variable national energy policies, and

dynamic changes in geopolitical forcesand how these variables affect energy markets.

More important, he applies those lessons to charting a course of energy development

for the nation as the twenty-first century unfolds.

Since the 1970s, when Petrie began analyzing publicly traded securities in the energy

sector, energy has been at the center of the national security calculus of the United

States and its allies, and price volatility has continually whipsawed global markets.

Petrie uses this dramatic period in oil business history to relate what he has learned

from following oil as a securities analyst and investment banker. But the title also

refers to energy sources that could become available following eventual shrinkage of

conventional-oil supplies. With new sources such as unconventional hydrocarbons

extracted through horizontal drilling, the United States can ensure itself enough oil and

gas to sustain economic growth during the next several decades and thus buy the time

necessary to bridge the nation to a greener energy future when wind, solar, and other

technologies have advanced sufficiently to play a larger role.

In a new preface for this paperback edition, the author reexamines his eight lessons in

light of the recent game-changing collapse in oil prices and the presidential veto of the

Keystone XL pipeline.

Thomas A. Petrie, CFA, is Chairman of Petrie Partners, LLC, in Denver. He formerly served as Vice Chairman of Bank of America/Merrill Lynch and was Vice Chairman

of Merrill Lynch until its acquisition by Bank of America in 2009. Petrie cofounded

Petrie Parkman & Co., a Denver- and Houston-based energy investment banking

firm that merged with Merrill Lynch in 2006.

Here is the true Tom Horn, the good, the bad, and the ugly.John Boessenecker author of When Law Was in the Holster: The Frontier Life of Bob Paul

Some of the legendary gunmen of the Old West were lawmen. More, like Billy the Kid and Jesse James, were outlaws. Tom Horn (18601903) was both and morea lawman, soldier, hired gunman, detective, outlaw, and assassin.

Horn became a scout and packer in the Apache wars in his early twenties. He fought in the last major battle with Apaches on U.S. soil and chased Indians into Mexico with General George Crook. Horn bragged about murdering renegades and was known for his brutal approach to law and order. Working as a hired gun and range detective after the Johnson County War, he was tried and hanged for killing a fourteen-year-old boy. Horns guilt is still debated.

This masterful historical biography by historian Larry Ball distinguishes truth from legend to present the definitive account of the violent lifeand deathof Tom Horn.

Larry Ball is Professor Emeritus of History at Arkansas State University, Jonesboro, and the author of five books, including Desert Lawmen: The High Sheriffs of New Mexico and

Arizona, 18461912 and Elfego Baca: In Life and Legend.

Necessary and important. . . . A poignant and often moving annex to Holocaust literature.Gretchen Schafft, author of From Racism to Genocide: Anthropology in the Third Reich

Known as Jadzia (Yah-jah), Jadwiga Lenartowicz Rylko was a young Polish Catholic physician in Ldz at the start of World War II. Suspected of resistance activities, she was arrested in January 1944. For the next fifteen months, she endured three Nazi concentration camps and a forty-two-day death march, spending part of this time working as a prisoner-doctor to Jewish slave laborers. A Polish Doctor in the Nazi Camps follows Jadzia from her childhood and medical training, through her wartime experiences, to her struggles to create a new life in the postwar world.

Jadzias daughter, anthropologist Barbara Rylko-Bauer, travels back in time through conversations with her mother and historical research, recounting Jadzias life as a refugee doctor in Germany and later as an immigrant to the United States. This powerful narrativeof struggle, survival, displacement, and memorydeepens our understanding of a horrific period in human history and the struggle of Polish immigrants in its aftermath.

Wyoming GrasslandsPhotographs by Michael P. Berman and William S. Sutton

By Frank H. Goodyear, Jr., and Charles R. Preston

Foreword by Dan Flores

In 2012, landscape photographers Michael P. Berman and William S. Sutton launched

their massive Wyoming Grasslands Photographic Project, a partnership between The

Nature Conservancy, Wyoming Chapter, and the Buffalo Bill Center of the West.

Working in the tradition of late-nineteenth-century explorers and photographers of

the American West, Berman and Sutton shot more than 50,000 digital photographs

of Wyoming prairie, from the Red Desert of southwestern Wyoming to the Thunder

Basin National Grassland of the states northeastern corner. The best of their

extraordinarily sensitive, revealing, and powerful images appear in these pages,

documenting the sweep and the seasons of the Wyoming landscape.

Essays by Frank H. Goodyear, Jr., and Charles R. Preston provide a contextual

framework for the spectacular images. Goodyear introduces us to the imagery of the

American West and explains the place of Bermans and Suttons work within that

tradition, and Preston focuses on the natural history of the grasslands, illuminating

the areas ecological diversity and changes through the seasons and over the years.

In eloquent words and pictures, including a foreword by environmental historian

Dan Flores, Wyoming Grasslands offers dramatic proof of how the land that

inspired the likes of Audubon and Bierstadt, while having altered over time, still

holds and demands our attention.

Frank H. Goodyear, Jr., is Guest Curator at the Draper Natural History Museum, Buffalo Bill Center of the West, in Cody, Wyoming. He is the author of numerous

books, including Contemporary American Realism since 1960 and Neil Welliver.

Charles R. Preston is the Willis McDonald, IV, Senior Curator of Natural Science at the Draper Natural History Museum, Buffalo Bill Center of the West, in Cody,

Painted JourneysThe Art of John Mix Stanley

By Peter H. Hassrick and Mindy N. Besaw

Foreword by Bruce B. Eldridge

Artist-explorer John Mix Stanley (18141872), one of the most celebrated

chroniclers of the American West in his time, was in a sense a victim of his own

success. So highly regarded was his work that more than two hundred of his

paintings were held at the Smithsonian Institutionwhere in 1865 a fire destroyed

all but seven of them. This volume, featuring a comprehensive collection of Stanleys

extant art, reproduced in full color, offers an opportunityand ample reasonto

rediscover the remarkable accomplishments of this outsize figure of nineteenth-

century American culture.

Originally from York State, Stanley journeyed west in 1842 to paint Indian life.

During the U.S.-Mexican War, he joined a frontier military expedition and traveled

from Santa Fe to California, producing sketches and paintings of the campaign

along the waywork that helped secure his fame in the following decades. He

was also appointed chief artist for Isaac Stevenss survey of the 48th parallel for a

proposed transcontinental railroad. The essays in this volume, by noted scholars

of American art, document and reflect on Stanleys life and work from every angle.

The authors consider the artists experience on government expeditions; his solo

tours among the Oregon settlers and western and Plains Indians; and his career in

Washington and search for government patronage, as well as his individual works.

With contributions by Emily C. Burns, Scott Manning Stevens, Lisa Strong, Melissa

Speidel, Jacquelyn Sparks, and Emily C. Wilson, the essays in this volume convey

the full scope of John Mix Stanleys artistic accomplishment and document the

unfolding of that uniquely American vision throughout the artists colorful life.

Together they restore Stanley to his rightful place in the panorama of nineteenth-

century American life and art.

A Contested ArtModernism and Mestizaje in New Mexico

By Stephanie Lewthwaite

When New Mexico became an alternative cultural frontier for avant-garde Anglo-

American writers and artists in the early twentieth century, the region was still

largely populated by Spanish-speaking Hispanos. Anglos who came in search of

new personal and aesthetic freedoms found inspiration for their modernist ventures

in Hispano art forms. Yet, when these arrivistes elevated a particular model of

Spanish colonial art through their preservationist endeavors and the marketplace,

practicing Hispano artists found themselves working under a new set of patronage

relationships and under new aesthetic expectations that tied their art to a static

vision of the Spanish colonial past.

In A Contested Art, historian Stephanie Lewthwaite examines the complex Hispano

response to these aesthetic dictates and suggests that cultural encounters and

appropriation produced not only conflict and loss but also new transformations

in Hispano art as the artists experimented with colonial art forms and modernist

trends in painting, photography, and sculpture. Drawing on native and non-native

sources of inspiration, they generated alternative lines of modernist innovation and

mestizo creativity. These lines expressed Hispanos cultural and ethnic affiliations

with local Native peoples and with Mexico, and presented a vision of New Mexico

as a place shaped by the fissures of modernity and the dynamics of cultural conflict

and exchange.

A richly illustrated work of cultural history, this first book-length treatment explores

the important yet neglected role Hispano artists played in shaping the world of

modernism in twentieth-century New Mexico. A Contested Art places Hispano artists

at the center of narratives about modernism while bringing Hispano art into dialogue

with the cultural experiences of Mexicans, Chicanas/os, and Native Americans. In

doing so, it rewrites a chapter in the history of both modernism and Hispano art.

Stephanie Lewthwaite teaches in the Department of American and Canadian Studies at the University of Nottingham, United Kingdom, and is the author of Race, Place,

and Reform in Mexican Los Angeles: A Transnational Perspective, 18901940.

Examines the sources of inspiration for alternative lines of modernist innovation and mestizo creativity

Picturing MigrantsThe Grapes of Wrath and New Deal Documentary Photography

By James R. Swensen

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

Steinbecks The Grapes of Wrath and the photographs produced for the New Deals

Farm Security Administration (FSA) now provide most of the images that come

to mind when we think of the 1930s. That novel and those photographs, as this

book shows, share a history. Fully exploring this complex connection for the first

time, Picturing Migrants offers new insight into Steinbecks novel and the FSAs

photographyand into the circumstances that have made them enduring icons of

the Depression.

Looking at the work of Dorothea Lange, Horace Bristol, Arthur Rothstein, and

Russell Lee, it is easy to imagine that these images came straight out of the pages

of The Grapes of Wrath. This should be no surprise, James R. Swensen tells us,

because Steinbeck explicitly turned to photographs of the period to create his

visceral narrative of hope and loss among Okie migrants in search of a better life

in California. When the novel became an instant best seller upon its release in April

1939, some dismissed its imagery as pure fantasy. Lee knew better and traveled to

Oklahoma for proof. The documentary pictures he produced are nothing short of

a photographic illustration of the hard lives and desperate reality that Steinbeck

so vividly portrayed. In Picturing Migrants, Swensen sets these lesser-known

images alongside the more familiar work of Lange and others, giving us a clearer

understanding of the FSAs work to publicize the plight of the migrant in the wake

of the novel and John Fords award-winning film adaptation.

A new perspective on an era whose hardships and lessons resonate to this

day, Picturing Migrants lets us see as never before how a novel and a series of

documentary photographs have kept the Great Depression unforgettably real for

generation after generation.

The Artistic Odyssey of Higinio V. GonzalesA Tinsmith and Poet in Territorial New Mexico

By Maurice M. Dixon, Jr.

Foreword by Carmella Padilla

Translation by Alejandro Lpez

Higinio V. Gonzales (18421921) was more than a gifted metalworker. A man

of varied talents whose poems and songs complement his work in punched tin,

Gonzales transcends categorization. In The Artistic Odyssey of Higinio V. Gonzales,

Maurice M. Dixon, Jr., who has spent more than thirty years studying New Mexico

tinwork, describes the artists signature techniques. Featuring translations of

Gonzaless poetry, this book restores a long-forgotten New Mexican innovator to

the prominence he deserves.

Recounting the scholarly detective work that revealed the full scope of Gonzaless

art and career, Dixon tells the story of a craftsman who was also a poet. He begins

with Gonzaless first signed literary work, a handwritten birthday poem decorated

with beautifully drawn flowers and birds, dated 1889, and then pieces together the

artists life and career. Through meticulous research into manuscripts and the dates

of tin cans that Gonzales repurposed into elegant, fanciful frames, niches, sconces,

and religious decorations, Dixon identifies as Gonzaless numerous pieces of poetry

and tinwork once attributed to anonymous poets and artists. His most important

discovery served as a Rosetta stone: an ink wash and watercolor drawing in an

ornamental tin frame (housed at the Millicent Rogers Museum in Taos), whose

documented provenance helped Dixon to identify Gonzaless other artwork.

More than 100 photographs of Gonzaless tinwork and more than a dozen

translations of the artists poetic and musical works punctuate the narrative. Both a

catalogue raisonn of a hitherto little-known artist and an anthology of his writings,

this book reconstructs the creative life of a long-overlooked talent, one whose quest

for beauty resulted in a prolific body of art and literature.

Maurice M. Dixon, Jr., is an artist and art historian based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He is the coauthor of New Mexican Tinwork, 18401940. Carmella Padilla is an award-winning journalist and author of several works examining New Mexican

Hispano art and culture. Her most recent book is The Work of Art: Folk Artists in

the 21st Century. Alejandro Lpez is a Spanish-language translator based in Santa Cruz, New Mexico.

North American Indian Art: Masterpieces and Museum Collections

from the Netherlands showcases 114 oustanding examples of Native art and heritage from the Canadian subarctic forests to the American Southwest preserved in Dutch museums. Many of these rare material documents collected between the seventeenth and the twenty-first century have never been published before. They are here stunningly presented as individual works of art and placed into their cultural and historical contexts by forty-two leading American, Canadian, and European experts who weave together the historical narrative of each objects acquisition with current Native and scholarly interpretations of their use and meaning.

In his introductory essay Pieter Hovens provides a detailed account of the history of Dutch interests in North American Indian cultures, from the seventeenth-century colonial experience in New Netherland through the collecting activities of public institutions and private connoisseurs to academic scholarship and social engagement. All of these interests have contributed to the wealth and range of objects featured here as well as to the public perception of Native Americans in the Netherlands.

This book offers for the first time an overview of all institutional collections of Native North American arts and cultures in a single European country. It is the privilege of the Dutch museums to share these heritage collections with the widest audience possible.

Pieter Hovens is curator of the North American collection at the National Museum of World Cultures in Leiden, the Netherlands. Bruce Bernstein is executive director of the Ralph T. Coe Foundation for the Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Brummett EchohawkPawnee Thunderbird and Artist

By Kristin M. Youngbull

A true American hero who earned a Purple Heart, a Bronze Star, and a

Congressional Gold Medal, Brummett Echohawk was also a Pawnee on the

European battlefields of World War II. He used the Pawnee language and counted

coup as his grandfather had done during the Indian wars of the previous century.

This first book-length biography depicts Echohawk as a soldier, painter, writer,

humorist, and actor profoundly shaped by his Pawnee heritage and a man who

refused to be pigeonholed as an Indian artist.

Through his formative war service in the 45th Infantry Division (known as the

Thunderbirds), Echohawk strove to prove himself both a patriot and a true Pawnee

warrior. Pawnee history, culture, and spiritual belief inspired his courageous

conduct and bolstered his confidence that he would return home. Echohawks

career as an artist began with combat sketches published under such titles as Death

Shares a Ditch at Bloody Anzio. His portraits of Allied and enemy soldiers, some

of which appeared in the Detroit Free Press in 1944, included drawings of men

from all over the world, among them British infantrymen, Gurkhas, and a Japanese

American soldier.

After the war, without relying on the GI Bill, Echohawk studied at the Art Institute

of Chicago for three years. His persistence paid off, leading to work as a staff artist

for several Chicago newspapers. Echohawk was also a humorist whose prodigious

output includes published cartoons and several parodies of famous paintings, such

as a Mona Lisa wearing a headband, turquoise ring, and beaded necklace.

Featuring eight of Echohawks paintings in full color, this thoroughly researched

biography shows how one unusual man succeeded in American Indian and mainstream

cultures. World War II aficionados will marvel at Echohawks military feats, and

American art enthusiasts will appreciate a body of work characterized by deep

historical research, an eye for beauty, and a unique ability to capture tribal humor.

Kristin M. Youngbull holds a Ph.D. in history from Arizona State University.

Voices of Resistance and RenewalIndigenous Leadership in Education

Edited by Dorothy AguileraBlack Bear and John W. Tippeconnic III

Western education has often employed the bluntest of instruments in colonizing

indigenous peoples, creating generations caught between Western culture and

their own. Dedicated to the principle that leadership must come from within the

communities to be led, Voices of Resistance and Renewal applies recent research

on local, culture-specific learning to the challenges of education and leadership that

Native people face.

Bringing together both Native and non-Native scholars who have a wide range

of experience in the practice and theory of indigenous education, editors Dorothy

AguileraBlack Bear and John Tippeconnic III focus on the theoretical foundations

of indigenous leadership, the application of leadership theory to community

contexts, and the knowledge necessary to prepare leaders for decolonizing

education.

The contributors draw on examples from tribal colleges, indigenous educational

leadership programs, and the latest research in Canadian First Nation, Hawaiian,

and U.S. American Indian communities. The chapters examine indigenous

epistemologies and leadership within local contexts to show how Native leadership

can be understood through indigenous lenses. Throughout, the authors consider

political influences and educational frameworks that impede effective leadership,

including the standards for success, the language used to deliver content, and the

choice of curricula, pedagogical methods, and assessment tools.

Voices of Resistance and Renewal provides a variety of philosophical principles

that will guide leaders at all levels of education who seek to encourage self-

determination and revitalization. It has important implications for the future

of Native leadership, education, community, and culture, and for institutions of

learning that have not addressed Native populations effectively in the past.

A Call for ReformThe Southern California Indian Writings of Helen Hunt Jackson

Edited by Valerie Sherer Mathes and Phil Brigandi

Journalist, novelist, and scholar Helen Hunt Jackson (183085) 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 Jacksons career.

The articles served as the basis for Jacksons 1884 romantic novel, Ramona, still

popular among Americans today. Jackson journeyed to Southern California in the

1880s to learn firsthand how Indians there lived. She found them in a demoralized

state, beset by failed government policies and constantly threatened with losing their

lands. The numerous articles and editorial responses she penned made her a leading

voice in the fight for American Indian rights, a role she embraced wholeheartedly.

As this collection also shows, Jacksons fondness for Old California helped shape

the regions mythology and tourist culture. But her most important work was her

influence in getting reservations set aside for the beleaguered Southern California

tribes. Although her recommendations were not implemented until after her death,

Helen Hunt Jacksons stark and revealing portrait drew national attention to the

effects of white encroachment on Indian lands and cultures in California and

inspired generations of reformers who continued her legacy. This unprecedented

collection offers fresh insight into the life and work of a well-known and influential

writer and reformer.

Valerie Sherer Mathes is a faculty member in the Social Science Department at City College of San Francisco. Among the books she has authored or edited are Helen

Hunt Jackson and Her Indian Reform Legacy and The Indian Reform Letters of

Helen Hunt Jackson. Phil Brigandi is an independent scholar who specializes in the history of Southern California, especially Orange County, and for thirty years

served as the historian for the Ramona Pageant.

Malinche, Pocahontas, and SacagaweaIndian Women as Cultural Intermediaries and National Symbols

By Rebecca Kay Jager

The first Europeans to arrive in North Americas various regions relied on Native

women to help them navigate unfamiliar customs and places. This study of three

well-known and legendary female cultural intermediaries, Malinche, Pocahontas,

and Sacagawea, examines their initial contact with Euro-Americans, their

negotiation of multinational frontiers, and their symbolic representation over time.

Well before their first contact with Europeans or Anglo-Americans, the three

womens societies of originthe Aztecs of Central Mexico (Malinche), the

Powhatans of the mid-Atlantic coast (Pocahontas), and the Shoshones of the

northern Rocky Mountains (Sacagawea)were already dealing with complex

ethnic tensions and social change. Using wit and diplomacy learned in their Native

cultures and often assigned to women, all three individuals hoped to benefit their

own communities by engaging with the new arrivals. But as historian Rebecca

Kay Jager points out, Europeans and white Americans misunderstood female

expertise in diplomacy and interpreted indigenous womens cooperation as proof

of their attraction to Euro-American men and culture. This confusion has created a

historical misrepresentation of Malinche, Pocahontas, and Sacagawea as gracious

Indian princesses, giving far too little credit to their skills as intermediaries.

Examining their initial contact with Europeans and their work on multinational

frontiers, Jager removes these three famous icons from the realm of mythology

and cultural fantasy and situates each womans behavior in her own cultural

context. Drawing on history, anthropology, ethnohistory, and oral tradition, Jager

demonstrates their shrewd use of diplomacy and fulfillment of social roles and

responsibilities in pursuit of their communities future advantage.

Jager then goes on to delineate the symbolic roles that Malinche, Pocahontas, and

Sacagawea came to play in national creation stories. Mexico and the United States

have molded their legends to justify European colonization and condemn it, to

explain Indian defeat and celebrate indigenous prehistory. After hundreds of years,

Malinche, Pocahontas and Sacagawea are still relevant. They are the symbolic

mothers of the Americas, but more than that, they fulfilled crucial roles in times of

pivotal and enduring historical change. Understanding their stories brings us closer

to understanding our own histories.

Through Indian Sign LanguageThe Fort Sill Ledgers of Hugh Lenox Scott and Iseeo, 18891897

Edited by William C. Meadows

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. There, from 1891 to 1897, he commanded Troop L, 7th Cavalry, an

all-Indian unit. From members of this unit, in particular a Kiowa soldier named

Iseeo, Scott collected three volumes of information on American Indian life and

culturea body of ethnographic material conveyed through Plains Indian Sign

Language (in which Scott was highly accomplished) and recorded in handwritten

English. This remarkable resourcethe largest of its kind before the late twentieth

centuryappears here in full for the first time, put into context by noted scholar

William C. Meadows.

The Scott ledgers contain an array of historic, linguistic, and ethnographic dataa

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. He also sketches the lives of Scott and Iseeo, explaining how they

met, how Scott learned the language, and how their working relationship developed

and served them both. The ledgers, which follow, recount a variety of specific Plains

Indian customs, from naming practices to eagle catching. Scott also recorded his

informants explanations of the signs, as well as a multitude of myths and stories.

On his fellow officers indifference to the sign language, Lieutenant Scott remarked:

I have often marveled at this apathy concerning such a valuable instrument, by

which communication could be held with every tribe on the plains of the buffalo,

using only one language. Here, with extensive background information, Meadowss

incisive analysis, and the complete contents of Scotts Fort Sill ledgers, this valuable

instrument is finally and fully accessible to scholars and general readers interested

in the history and culture of Plains Indians.

William C. Meadows is Professor of Anthropology at Missouri State University and the author of several books on the Kiowas, Comanches, and Apaches, including

Kiowa Military Societies: Ethnohistory and Ritual and Kiowa Ethnogeography.

Free to Be MohawkIndigenous Education at the Akwesasne Freedom School

By Louellyn White

Akwesasne territory straddles the U.S.-Canada border in upstate New York,

Ontario, and Quebec. In 1979, in the midst of a major conflict regarding self-

governance, traditional Mohawks there 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.

Through interviews, participant observations, and archival research, White presents

an in-depth picture of the Akwesasne Freedom School as a model of Indigenous

holistic education that incorporates traditional teachings, experiential methods,

and language immersion. Alumni, parents, and teachers describe how the school

has fostered a strong sense of what it is to be fully Mohawk. White explores

the complex relationship between language and identity and shows how AFS

participants transcend historical colonization by negotiating their sense of self.

According to Mohawk elder Sakokwenionkwas (Tom Porter), The prophecies

say that the time will come when the grandchildren will speak to the whole world.

The reason for the Akwesasne Freedom School is so the grandchildren will have

something significant to say. In a world where forced assimilation and colonial

education have resulted in the loss or endangerment of hundreds of Indigenous

languages, the Akwesasne Freedom School provides a cultural and linguistic

sanctuary. Whites timely study reminds readers, including the Canadian and U.S.

governments, of the critical importance of an Indigenous nations authority over the

education of its children.

Louellyn White is an Assistant Professor in the First Peoples Studies Program at Concordia University in Montreal. Her work has been published in the

Encyclopedia of American Indian History and the American Indian Culture and

Research Journal.

Gamble SKlallam, Quinault, Quileute, and Makahshare complex histories of

trade, religion, warfare, and kinship, as well as reverence for the teaching of elders.

However, each indigenous nations relationship to the Olympic Peninsula is unique.

Reclaiming the Hopewellian Ceremonial Sphere200 b.c. to a.d. 500

By A. Martin Byers

Multiple Hopewellian monumental earthwork sites displaying timber features,

mortuary deposits, and unique artifacts are found widely distributed across the

North American Eastern Woodlands, from the lower Mississippi Valley north to

the Great Lakes. These sites, dating from 200 b.c. to a.d. 500, almost define the

Middle Woodland period of the Eastern Woodlands. Joseph Caldwell treated these

sites as defining what he termed the Hopewell Interaction Sphere, which he

conceptualized as mediating a set of interacting mortuary-funerary cults linking

many different local ethnic communities. In this new book, A. Martin Byers refines

Caldwells work, coining the term Hopewell Ceremonial Sphere to more precisely

characterize this transregional sphe
