Americans who now endure the inconveniences o crowded airports, packed air-

planes, and missed connections might not realize that ying was once an elegant,exhilarating adventure. In this colorul history, Daniel L. Rust traces the evolution

o commercial air travel rom the frst transcontinental expeditions o the 1920s,

through the luxurious airline environments o the 1960s, to the more hectic, atiguing

experiences o ying in the post-9/11 era.

In the beginning, ying coast-to-coast was an exciting yet uncomortable journey o

nearly orty-eight hours that required numerous stops and overnight travel by train.

With time and technical innovation, passengers became increasingly removed bothphysically and psychologically rom the raw experience o ying. Faster planes, pres-

surized cabins, onboard amenities, and stronger saety precautions made ying more

convenient and predictablebut also less evocative and sensational.

Prior to the 1980s, Americans dressed or air travel in their ormal best and enjoyed

such luxurious onboard amenities as delicious meals and ample cabin space. What

made air travel glamorous, however, also made it more expensive. With deregulation

in 1978, cost reductions reduced ying to a more tedious and, ater 9/11, more regi-

mented experience.

Rusts narrative brims with frsthand accounts

rom such celebrities as Will Rogers and rom or-

dinary Americans. Enlivened by more than 100

illustrations, including vintage brochures, post-

ers, and photographs, Flying Across America re-

minds todays airline passengers o what they have

gainedand what they have lostin the transcon-

tinental ying experience.

Never mind the Ph.D. and middle-class trappingsLaura Pritchett is a Dumpster

diver and proud o it. Ever since she was old enough to navigate the contents o ametal bin, she has reveled in the treasures ound in other peoples cast-os.

For Going Green, Pritchett has gathered the work o more than twenty writers to tell

their personal stories o Dumpster diving, eating road kill, salvaging plastic rom the

beach, and orgoing another trip to the mall or the thrill o bargain hunting at yard

sales and ea markets. These stories look not just at the many ways people glean but

also at the larger, thornier issues dealing with what re-usingor notsays about our

culture and priorities.

The essayists speak to the

joys o going beyond the

norm to save old houses,

old dishwater, old cul-

tures, old Popsicle sticks,

and old riendshipsand

turning them into some-

thing new. Some write

about gleaning as a means

o survival, while others

see the practice as a rejec-

tion o consumerism or as

a way o treading lightly

on the earth.

Brimming with practical and creative new ways to think about recycling, this collec-

tion invites you to dive in and fnd your own way o going green.

lu Pis the author o the award-winning novels Sky Bridge and Hells Bot-

tom, Colorado and is the co-editor oHome Land and Pulse o the River. Pritchett

earned her Ph.D. in Contemporary American Literature at Purdue, but now happily

lives in her home state o Colorado, where she enjoys gleaning, raising chickens, hik-

ing, and writing.

A world traveler, Isabella Bird recorded her 1873 visit to Colorado Territory in her

classic travel narrative, A Ladys Lie in the Rocky Mountains. This work inspiredRobert Roots own discovery o Colorados Front Range ollowing his move rom

the atlands o Michigan. In this elegantly written book, Root retraces Birds three-

month journey, seeking to understand what Colorado meant to herand what it

would come to mean or him.

Following Isabella is a work o intersecting histories. Root interweaves an overview

o Birds lie and work with regional history, nature writing, and his own travels to

produce a uniquely inormative and entertaining narrative. He probes Birds sel-transormation as her writing moved rom private letters to published books, and

also draws on reections o other authors o her day, including Grace Greenwood

and Helen Hunt Jackson. Like Bird, Root experiences his most ulflling moments in

the mountains, climbing ormidable Longs Peak, living alone in the cabin o amed

editor William Allen White, and wandering wild landscapes.

Through reections on earlier writers experiences, and by weighing his own response

to them, Root learns not only how to come to Colorado, as visitors so oten do, but

more important, how to stay.

Claro Solis wanted to win a gold star or his mother. He succeededas did seven

other sons o Little Mexico.

Second Street in Silvis, Illinois, was a poor neighborhood during the Great Depres-

sion that had become home to Mexicans eeing revolution in their homeland. In

1971 it was ofcially renamed Hero Street to commemorate its claim to the highest

per-capita casualty rate rom any neighborhood during World War II. Marc Wilson

now tells the story o this community and the young men it sent to fght or their

adopted country.

Hero Street, U.S.A. is the frst book to recount a saga too long overlooked in histories

and television documentaries. Interweaving amily memories, soldiers letters, his-

torical photographs, interviews with relatives, and frsthand combat accounts, Wil-

son tells the compelling stories o nearly eighty men rom three dozen Second Street

homes who volunteered to fght or their country in World War II and Koreaand o

the eight, including Claro Solis, who never came back.

As debate swirls around the place o Mexican immigrants in contemporary American

society, this book shows the price o citizenship willingly paid by the sons o ear-lier reugees. With Hero Street, U.S.A., Marc Wilson not only makes an important

contribution to military and social history but also acknowledges the eorts o the

heroes o Second Street to realize the American dream.

In 1896, a young easterner named

Walter McClintock arrived on the

Blackeet Indian Reservation. A

orest survey had brought him to

Montana, but a chance encounter

with a part-Blackeet scout led him

instead to a career as a chronicler

o Plains Indian lie. McClintock isnow well known as the author o

two books about his experiences among the Blackeet, but only a ew o his photo-

graphs have ever been published. This volume eatures biographical and interpretive

essays about McClintocks lie and work and presents more than one hundred o his

little-known images.

Many o McClintocks photos were eventually reproduced as colored lantern slides.

One set o signature views contained numerous brightly lit tepees, rendered so that

the great circular Blackeet encampment looked like an enormous group o coloured

Japanese lanterns. His pictures, the photographer claimed, were not posed but

were instead o real lie. In truth, McClintocks photographs captured the attire

and activities o the Blackeet during the ew weeks each year when they actively

celebrated their old ways. Rather than recording day-to-day reservation lie, they

instead revealed the photographers own romantic ideals and nostalgic longing.

Lanterns on the Prairie explores the motivations o the players in McClintocks story

and the historic context o his engagement with the Blackeet. The photographsthemselves provide an irreplaceable visual record o the Blackeet during a pivotal

period in their history.

Adams County, Washington, is home to armlands on the Columbia Plateau that

produce more crops than might be expected o its semiarid soils. But while unique

in its geography and history, it also aces many o the problems conronting armers

throughout rural America.

Seasoned journalist Steve Turner, having spent time in Adams County as a young

harvest hand, returned to the region to portray arm lie and history in a land where

change is a subtle but powerul constant. Amber Waves and Undertow interweaves

amily narratives, historical episodes, and Turners own experiences to illuminate thetransormation o rural America rom the nineteenth to the twenty-frst century.

Whether distilling the lore o wheat and potato agriculture or describing action at a

combine demolition derby, Turner celebrates both the usual and the unusual among

the local residents. He blends stories o pioneer settlers with vignettes o present-day

lie, introducing readers to the charactersthe hardworking and the eccentric, the

old-timers and the Latino newcomerswho populate this corner o America.

In the mode o John McPhee and Wendell Berry, Turners lyrical prose conveys his

aection or both the land and its inhabitants. Amber Waves and Undertow is a

thoughtul depiction o an exceptional place that puts the difculties o individual

armers in national and global contexts, showing us that only by understanding the

past o rural America can we conront its uture challenges.

s tuhas written eature articles or the Boston Globe, Le Figaro, the New

York Times, the Washington Post, the San Francisco Examiner, the San Jose Mercury

News, and the Yearbooks o the Colliers and Encarta encyclopedias, among many

others. He currently resides in Santa Cruz, Caliornia.

Few cities are so dramatically identifed with their environment as San Francisco

the landscape o hills, the expansive bay, the engulfng og, and even the deadly aultline shiting below. Yet most residents think o the city itsel as separate rom the

natural environment on which it depends. In Our Better Nature, Philip J. Dreyus

recounts the history o San Francisco rom Indian village to world-class metropolis,

ocusing on the interactions between the city and the land and on the generations

o people who have transormed them both. Dreyus examines the ways that San

Franciscans remade the landscape to ft their needs, and how their actions reected

and aected their ideas about nature, rom the destruction o wetlands and orests to

the creation o Golden Gate and Yosemite parks, the Sierra Club, and later, the birth

o the modern environmental movement.

Today, many San Franciscans seek to strengthen the ties between cities and nature by

pursuing more sustainable and ecologically responsible ways o lie. Consistent with

that urge, Our Better Nature not only explores San Franciscos past but also poses

critical questions about its uture. Dreyus asks us to reassess our connection to the

environment and to fnd ways to redefne ourselves and our cities within nature. Only

with such an attitude will San Francisco retain the magic that has always charmedresidents and visitors alike.

Mountain man and ur trader Jedediah Smith casts a heroic shadow. He was the frst

Anglo-American to travel overland to Caliornia via the Southwest, and he roamedthrough more o the West than anyone else o his era. His adventures quickly became

the stu o legend. Using new inormation and siting act rom olklore, Barton H.

Barbour now oers a resh look at this dynamic fgure.

Barbour tells how a youthul Smith was inuenced by notable men who were his

amilys neighbors, including a member o the Lewis and Clark expedition. When

he was twenty-three, hard times leavened with wanderlust set him on the road west.

Barbour delves into Smiths journals to a greater extent than previous scholars andteases out compelling insights into the traders itineraries and personality. Use o

an important letter Smith wrote late in lie deepens the authors perspective on the

legendary trapper. Through Smiths own voice, this larger-than-lie hero is shown to

be a man concerned with business obligations and his comrades welare, and even

a person who yearned or his childhood. Barbour also takes a hard look at Smiths

views o American Indians, Mexicans in Caliornia, and Hudsons Bay Company

competitors and evaluates his dealings with these groups in the ur trade.

Dozens o monuments commemorate Smith today. This readable book is another,

giving modern readers new insight into the character and remarkable achievements

o one o the Wests most complex characters.

The frst woman in America to own and operate a circus, Agnes Lake spent thirty

years under the Big Top beore becoming the wie o Wild Bill Hickoka mere fvemonths beore he was killed. Although books abound on the amous lawman, Ag-

ness lie has remained obscured by circus myth and legend.

Linda A. Fisher and Carrie Bowers have written the frst biography o this colorul

but little-known circus perormer. Agnes originally ound ame as a slack-wire walker

and horseback rider, and later as an animal trainer. Her circus career spanned more

than our decades. Following the murder o her frst husband, Bill Lake, she was the

sole manager o the Hippo-Olympiad and Mammoth Circus. While taking hershow to Abilene, she met town marshal Hickok and fve years later she married him.

Ater Hickoks death, Agnes traveled with P. T. Barnum and Bualo Bill Cody, and

managed her daughter Emma Lakes successul equestrian career.

This account o a remarkable lie cuts through fctions about Agness lie, including

her own embellishments, to uncover her true story. Numerous illustrations, including

rare photographs and circus memorabilia, bring Agness world to lie.

On the frst weekend o every June, Gypsies in northern England honor a tradition

more than three centuries old. Having traveled or days and dozens o miles in ornatewagons pulled by colorul short-legged horses called cobs, they converge on the town-

ship o Appleby to buy and sell horses. This remarkable journey and its culminating

celebration at Appleby Fair are seldom witnessed by outsiders to the Romani Gypsy

culture. Throughout history, many o these outsiders have treated Gypsies with scorn

and distrust, viewing them as troublesome strangers on the edge o their towns.

Despite their penchant or shielding their liestyle rom others, in 2004 and 2005 the

Gypsies welcomed John S. Hockensmith and his camera into their midst. In a rareleap into another world, Hockensmith traveled as a guest o prominent Gypsy ami-

lies on the back roads and highways leading to Appleby and recorded the drama o

the gathering o people and horses as can be seen only rom inside this guarded clan.

Hockensmiths vivid photography, lively prose, and visceral poetry are inused with

both the joys and hardships o this unique culture. Gypsy Horses and the Travelers

Way provides a bridge to another way o lie that allows readers to experience some

o these ephemeral moments on their own terms and in their own time.

development o the nation and its psyche, it is impossible to imagine history without

them. Yet prior to the arrival o Spanish explorers in the 1500s, horses had been

absent rom North America or millennia. In this beautiully illustrated volume, cel-

ebrated equine photographer John S. Hockensmith reveals how the return o horses

with the conquistadors both altered American Indian cultures and later supported the

development o the United States.

Gracing these pages are stunning ull-color photographs o modern horses that carrythe distinctive traits o their Spanish, Arab, and Barb orebears. Captured visually in

the rugged Rocky Mountains or the rolling grassy plains o the West, these horses

are our shared living legacy. From the tender private moments between mare and oal

to the aggressive determination o clashing stallions, Hockensmith throws open a

breathtaking window on these horses lives.

Given the ongoing debate about the uture o North Americas wild horses, many o

which trace their ancestry to Spanish steeds and the early mustangs, this work willstand as a signifcant marker on the mutual path traveled by horse and human.

With its vast prairies and impressive mountains, Colorado has been a mecca or

painters since the beginning o the nineteenth century. This latest volume in the Den-

ver Art Museums Western Passages series celebrates a diverse group o painters who

ound special allegiance to the Rockies and to the human history o Colorado.

Many who ventured into Colorado in the 1800s sought inspiration in the land. The

state attracted such masters o landscape painting as Thomas Moran, Albert Bier-

stadt, and Thomas Worthington Whittredge. So pervasive and popular were images

o Colorados peaks that some art historians have dubbed those who portrayed thesesites as the Rocky Mountain School. During the 1900s, ocus shited to the human

story, and artists benefted rom the organizational activities o the Denver Artists

Club, ounded by a group o women artists who were instrumental in the eventual

ounding o the Denver Art Museum.

fve years, Baby Doe, who was considered mad, lived in solitude

Not until 1999the ftieth anniversary o the fredid peoplebegin to talk openly about Mann Gulch. Matthews has garnered

those thoughts to reveal the fres devastating eects on the fre-

fghters amily members, coworkers, and riends. In retelling

the story o Mann Gulch, he draws on the testimony o the three

The result is a moment-by-moment, heart-stopping re-creation

James A. Michener was one o the most beloved storytellers o

our time. In this ull-length biography o both the private and

the public Michener, Stephen J. May draws on Micheners com-

plete papers as well as interviews with his riends and associates

to reveal how an aspiring writer became a best-selling novelist.

May ollows the young Michener rom an impoverished Penn-

sylvania childhood to the wartime Pacifc, where he ound in-spiration or Tales o the South Pacifc, a book that led to a

string o other best sellers, including The Source, Centennial,

Chesapeake, and The Covenant. Examining Micheners body o

writing in its biographical and cultural contexts, May describes

the creation o each novel and assesses the books strengths and

shortcomings. He also provides insight into Micheners personal

lie and unique working methods and explores the authors hy-

persensitivity to criticism, his egotism, and his ailure on someoccasions to acknowledge the contributions o his assistants.

This probing biography establishes Micheners place in twenti-

eth-century letters as it oers an unprecedented view o the man

behind the typewriter.

Called the Fighting Cock o the Sioux by U.S. soldiers, Gall

Black Hills. Enraged by the slaughter o his amily, Gall led the

charge across Medicine Tail Ford to attack Custers main orces

on the other side o the Little Bighorn.

Robert W. Larson now sorts through contrasting views o Gallto determine the real character o this legendary Sioux. This

frst-ever scholarly biography also ocuses on the actions Gall

took during his fnal years on the reservation, unraveling his last

ourteen years to better understand his previous orty.

Tracing Galls evolution rom a earless warrior to a representa-

interests o his tribe. This engaging biography oers new inter-

pretations o the Little Bighorn that lay to rest the contention

that Gall was Custers Conqueror. Gall: Lakota War Chie

The Cowden amily has been at the oreront o the cattle busi-

ness or 150 years. Arriving in Texas in the 1850s, Cowden men

and women raised and trailed cattle, sought out water and bet-

ter grazing land, tangled with Comanchesand helped extend

the western line o Anglo settlement as they raised their amilies.

They eventually moved to New Mexico, where they established

the renowned JAL Ranch.

Award-winning writer Michael Pettit, a Cowden descendant

and ormer rancher, oers a compelling portrait o this genuine

American ranching amily. Riding or the Brandspans six gen-

erations and two states to serve up a real slice o the Old West,

complete with cowboys and Indians, cattle and bualo, open

range and barbed wire.

Pettit skillully blends amily saga with an urbanites frsthand

look at lie on todays 50,000-acre Cowden Ranch. Along the

way, he tells the story o one mans search or identity through

his connections to a amily, a place, and a way o lie.

Make no mistake: A Decent Orderly Lynching is not only a

solid piece o research but also a wonderul read about a

ascinating time.

jIM stewaRt, CBS News, Washington

The deadliest campaign o vigilante justice in American historyerupted in the Rocky Mountains during the Civil War when a pri-

vate army hanged twenty-one troublemakers. Hailed as great he-

roes at the time, the vigilantes are still revered by many in Montana

as ounding athers.

Combing through original sources, including eyewitness accounts

never beore published, Frederick Allen concludes that the vigilan-

tes were justifed in their early actions, as they ought violent crime

in a remote corner beyond the reach o government. But Allen hasuncovered evidence that the vigilantes, reusing to disband ater ter-

ritorial courts were in place, lynched more than fty men without

trials. Reliance on mob rule in Montana became so ingrained that

in 1883, a Helena newspaper editor advocated a return to decent,

orderly lynching as a legitimate tool o social control.

Allens sharply drawn characterizations are woven into a masterully

written narrative that will change textbook accounts o Montanas

early daysand challenge our thinking on the essence o justice.

inner workings o the Mormon exodus by probing the minds

and hearts o those who suered and triumphed through this

A work many years in the making, Well Find the Place looks

behind the scenes to reveal Mormonism on the move, its

those pioneers is Creed McReynolds, resh rom the East with a

The storytellers git is my inheritance, writes Rudolo Anaya in his essay Shaman

o Words. Although he is best known or Bless Me, Ultima and other novels, hiswriting also takes the orm o nonfction, and in these 52 essays he draws on both

his heritage as a Mexican American and his git or storytelling. Besides tackling is-

sues such as censorship, racism, education, and sexual politics, Anaya explores the

tragedies and triumphs o his own lie.

Collected here are Anayas published essays. Despite his wide acclaim as the ounder

o Chicano literature, no previous volume has attempted to gather Anayas nonfction

into one edition. A companion to The Man Who Could Fly and Other Stories, the

collection o Anayas short stories, The Essays is an essential anthology or ollowers

o Anaya and those interested in Chicano literature.

Pieces such as Requiem or a Lowrider, La Llorona, El Kookoee, and Sexuality,

and An American Chicano in King Arthurs Court take the reader rom the llano

o eastern New Mexico, where Anaya grew up, to the barrios o Albuquerque, and

rom the devastating diving accident that nearly ended his lie at sixteen to the career

he has made as an author and teacher. The point is not autobiography, although a

lie story is told, nor is it advocacy, although Anaya argues persuasively or cultural

change. Instead, the author provides shrewd commentary on modern America in all

its complexity. All the while, he employs the elegant, poetic voice and the interweav-

ing o myth and olklore that inspire his fction. Stories reveal our human nature and

thus become powerul tools or insight and revelation, writes Anaya. This collection

o prose oers abundant new insight and revelation.

rud ais Proessor Emeritus o English at the University o New Mexico.

He has received numerous literary awards, including the Premio Quinto Sol and a

National Medal o Arts. Anaya and his wie reside in Albuquerque. r c

He gained renown as the sidekick o Butch Cassidy, but the Sundance Kidwhose

real name was Harry Alonzo Longabaughled a uller lie than history or Holly-

wood has allowed.

A relative o Longabaugh through marriage, Donna B. Ernst has spent more than

a quarter century researching his lie. She now brings to print the most thorough

account ever o one o the Wests most inamous outlaws, tracing his lie rom his

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

Combining genealogical research, access to amily records, and explorations in his-

torical archives, Ernst details the Sundance Kids movements to paint a complete

picture o the man. She recounts his homesteading days in Colorado, oers new

inormation on his years as a cowboy in Wyoming and Canada, and cites newly

uncovered records that substantiate both his outlaw activities and his attempts at

sel-reorm.

While taking readers on the wild chase that became Longabaughs lie, outracing

posses and Pinkertons, Ernst corrects inaccuracies in the historical record. She dem-

onstrates that he could not have participated in the Belle Fourche bank heist or the

Tipton train robbery and reutes speculations that Butch and Sundance managed to

escape their ate in Bolivia.

The Sundance Kid is enlivened by more than three dozen photographs, including

amily photos never beore seen.

B k ad

Historians have long assumed that ethnic and racial divisions in postCivil War

America were reected in the U.S. Army, o whose enlistees 40 percent were oreign-born. Now Kevin Adams shows that the rontier army was characterized by a Vic-

torian class divide that overshadowed ethnic prejudices.

Class and Race in the Frontier Army marks the frst application o recent research

on class, race, and ethnicity to the social and cultural history o military lie on the

western rontier. Adams draws on a wealth o military records and soldiers diaries

and letters to reconstruct everyday army lierom work and leisure to consump-

tion, intellectual pursuits, and political activityand shows that an inexible class

barrier stood between ofcers and enlisted men.

As Adams relates, ofcers lived in relative opulence while enlistees suered

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

inormal behavior, no similar prejudice colored the experience o soldiers who were

immigrants. Ofcers and enlisted men paid much less attention to ethnic dierences

than to social classofcers aunting and protecting their status, enlisted men

seething with class resentment.

Treating the army as a laboratory to better understand American society in the

Gilded Age, Adams suggests that military attitudes mirrored civilian lie in that era

with enlisted men, especially, illustrating the emerging class-consciousness among

the working poor. Class and Race in the Frontier Army oers resh insight into the

interplay o class, race, and ethnicity in late-nineteenth-century America.

The history o the Rio Grande since the late nineteenth century reects the evolution

o water-resource management in the West. It was here that the earliest interstate and

international water-allocation problems pitted irrigators in southern New Mexico

against armers downstream in El Paso and Juarez, with the voluntary resolution o

that conict setting important precedents or national and international water law.

In this frst scholarly treatment o the politics o water law along the Rio Grande,

Douglas R. Littlefeld describes those early interstate and international water-

apportionment conicts and explains how they relate to the development o western

water law and policy and to international relations with Mexico. Littlefeld embraces

environmental, legal, and social history to oer clear analyses o appropriation

and riparian water rights doctrines, along with lucid accounts o court cases and

laws. Examining events that led up to the 1904 settlement among U.S. and Mexican

communities and the ormation o the Rio Grande Compact in 1938, Littlefeld

describes how communities grappled over water issues as much with one another as

with governmental authorities.

Conict on the Rio Grande reveals the transormation o nineteenth- and early

twentieth-century law, traces changing attitudes about the role o government,and examines the ways these changes aected the use and eventual protection o

natural resources. Rio Grande water policy, Littlefeld shows, represents ederalism

at workand shows the West, in one locale at least, coming to grips with its unique

problems through negotiation and compromise.

From the late nineteenth century through the 1920s, the U.S. government sought to

control practices o music on reservations and in Indian boarding schools. At the

same time, Native singers, dancers, and musicians created new opportunities through

musical perormance to resist and manipulate those same policy initiatives. Why did

the practice o music generate ear among government ofcials and opportunity or

Native peoples?

In this innovative study, John W. Troutman explores the politics o music at the

turn o the twentieth century in three spheres: reservations, o-reservation boarding

schools, and public venues such as concert halls and Chautauqua circuits. On their

reservations, the Lakotas manipulated concepts o U.S. citizenship and patriotism to

reinvigorate and adapt social dances, even while the ederal government stepped up

eorts to suppress them. At Carlisle Indian School, teachers and bandmasters taught

music in hopes o imposing their civilization agenda, but students made their own

meaning o their music. Finally, many ormer students, armed with saxophones,

violins, or operatic vocal training, ormed their own all-Indian and tribal bands

and quartets and traversed the country, engaging the market economy and ederal

Indian policy initiatives on their own terms.While recent scholarship has oered new insights into the experiences o show

Indians and evolving powwow traditions, Indian Blues is the frst book to explore

the polyphony o Native musical practices and their relationship to ederal Indian

policy in this important period o American Indian history.

When the depression o the 1890s prompted unemployed workers rom Los Angeles

to join a nationwide march on Washington, Coxeys Army marked the birth o

radicalism in that city. In this frst book to trace the subsequent struggle between

the radical let and L.A.s power structure, Errol Wayne Stevens tells how both sides

shaped the citys character rom the turn o the twentieth century through the civil

rights era.

On the radical right, Los Angeless business elite, supported by the Los Angeles Times,

sought the destruction o the trade-union movementdeended on the let by social-

ists, Wobblies, communists, and other groups. In portraying the conict between letist

and capitalist visions or the uture, Stevens brings to lie colorul personalities such as

Times publisher Harrison Gray Otis and Socialist mayoral candidate Job Harriman.

He also re-creates events such as the 1910 bombing o the Times building, the sav-

age suppression o the 1923 longshoremens strike, and the 1965 Watts riots, which

signaled that L.A. politics had become divided less along class lines than by complex

racial and ethnic dierences.

The book takes stock o the rivalry between right and let over the several decades

in which it repeatedly ared. Radical L.A. is a balanced work o meticulous schol-arship that pieces together a rich chronicle usually seen only in smaller snippets or

rom a single vantage point. It will change the way we see the history o the City

o Angels.

Despite the popular assumption that Native American cultures in New England

declined ater Europeans arrived, evidence suggests that Indian communities continued

to thrive alongside English colonists. In this sequel to her Native People o Southern

New England, 15001650, Kathleen J. Bragdon continues the Indian story through

the end o the colonial era and documents the impact o colonization.

As she traces changes in Native social, cultural, and economic lie, Bragdon explores

what it meant to be Indian in colonial southern New England. Contrary to common

belie, Bragdon argues, Indianness meant continuing Native lives and liestyles, how-

ever distinct rom those o the newcomers. She recreates Indian cosmology, moral

values, community organization, and material culture to demonstrate that networks

based on kinship, marriage, traditional residence patterns, and work all ostered a

culture resistant to assimilation.

Bragdon draws on the writings and reported speech o Indians to counter what

colonists claimed to be signs o assimilation. She shows that when Indians adopted

English cultural ormssuch as Christianity and writingthey did so on their own

terms, using these alternative tools or expressing their own ideas about power and

the spirit world.

Despite warare, disease epidemics, and colonists attempts at cultural suppression,

distinctive Indian cultures persisted. Bragdons scholarship gives us new insight into

both the history o the tribes o southern New England and the nature o cultural

contact.

When considering the history o the Southwest, scholars have typically viewed

Apaches, Navajos, and other Athabaskans as marauders who preyed on Pueblo towns

and Spanish settlements. William B. Carter now oers a multilayered reassessment

o historical events and environmental and social change to show how mutually

supportive networks among Native peoples created alliances in the centuries beore

and ater Spanish settlement.

Combining recent scholarship on southwestern prehistory and the history o

northern New Spain, Carter describes how environmental changes shaped American

Indian settlement in the Southwest and how Athapaskan and Puebloan peoples

ormed alliances that endured until the Pueblo Revolt o 1680 and even aterward.

Established initially or trade, Pueblo-Athapaskan ties deepened with intermarriage

and developments in the political realities o the region. Carter also shows how

Athapaskans inuenced Pueblo economies ar more than previously supposed, and

helped to erode Spanish inuence.

In clearly explaining Native prehistory, Carter integrates clan origins with

archeological data and historical accounts. He then shows how the Spanish conquest

o New Mexico aected Native populations and the relations between them. Hisanalysis o the Pueblo Revolt reveals that Athapaskan and Puebloan peoples were

in close contact, underscoring the instrumental role that Athapaskan allies played in

Native anticolonial resistance in New Mexico throughout the seventeenth century.

Written to appeal to both students and general readers, this resh interpretation o

borderlands ethnohistory provides a broad view as well as important insights or

assessing subsequent social change in the region.

The checks and balances built into the U.S. Constitution are designed to decentralize

and thus limit the powers o government. This system works both horizontally

among the executive, legislative, and judicial branchesand verticallybetween the

ederal government and state governments. That vertical separation, known as eder-

alism, is intended to restrain the powers o the ederal government, yet many political

observers today believe that the ederal government routinely oversteps its bounds at

the expense o states.

In Saeguarding Federalism, John D. Nugent argues that contrary to common percep-

tion, ederalism is alive and welli in a orm dierent rom what the Framers o the

Constitution envisioned. According to Nugent, state ofcials have numerous options

or aecting the development and implementation o ederal policy and can soten,

slow down, or even halt ederal eorts they perceive as harming their interests.

Nugent describes the general approaches states use to saeguard their interests, such

as inuencing the ederal policy, contributing to policy ormulation, encouraging or

discouraging policy enactment, participating in policy implementation, and provid-

ing necessary eedback on policy success or ailure. Demonstrating the workings o

these saeguards through detailed analysis o recent ederal initiatives, including the1996 welare reorm law, the Clean Air Act, moratoriums on state taxation o In-

ternet commerce, and the highly controversial No Child Let Behind Act, Nugent

shows how states promotion o their own interests preserves the Founders system

o constitutional ederalism today.

An important member o the Muskogean language amily, Chickasaw is an endan-

Chickasaw Nation o south-central Oklahoma. Lets Speak Chickasaw Chikashsha-

nompa Kilanompoli is both the frst textbook o the Chickasaw language and its

frst complete grammar. A collaboration between Pamela Munro, a linguist with an

intimate knowledge o Chickasaw, and Catherine Willmond, a native speaker, this

book is designed or beginners as well as intermediate students.

Twenty units cover pronunciation, word building, sentence structure, and usage.

Each includes our to eight short lessons accompanied by exercises that introduce

additional inormation about the language. Each unit also includes dialogues or read-

ings that reect language use by native speakers to increase students understanding

o how words and sentences are put together. Additional Beyond the Grammar

sections oer insight into the history o the language and fne points o usage. Exten-

sive Chickasaw-English and English-Chickasaw vocabularies are included.

The text is written in a conversational style and defnes terms in everyday language

to help students master grammatical concepts. The authors developed the spelling

system they use here based on earlier orthographies or Chickasaw and Choctaw. Anaccompanying CD provides examples o spoken Chickasaw that convey fne points

o pronunciation.

Classroom-tested or more than ourteen years, Lets Speak Chickasaw is the only com-

plete and linguistically sound analysis o Chickasaw, treating it as a living language

rather than as a cultural artiact. It is a vital resource or scholars o American Indian

linguistics and a rich repository o the language and culture o the Chickasaw people.

For those who have progressed beyond introductory lessons, Intermediate Creek

oers an expanded understanding o the language and culture o the Muskogee

(Creek) and Seminole Indians. The frst advanced textbook or the language, this

book builds on the grammatical principles set orth in the authors earlier book,

Beginning Creek: Mvskoke Emponvkv, providing students with knowledge crucial

to mastering more-complex linguistic constructions.

Here are clear, comprehensive explanations o linguistic eatures such as the use o

plural subject and object noun phrases; uture tense and intentive mood; commands

and causatives; postpositions and compound noun phrases; locatives; and sentences

with multiple clauses. Linguistic anthropologist Pamela Innes and native speakers

Linda Alexander and Bertha Tilkens have organized the book much as they did

Beginning Creek. Each chapter begins with a presentation o the grammatical points

to be learned, ollowed by new vocabulary, exercises, an essay relating the material to

Muskogee and Seminole lie, and suggested readings. Numerous diagrams and tables

aid understanding, while an audio CD contains examples o spoken Mvskoke

conversations, a story, and a lullabyand demonstrates the cadence and intonations

o the language.

Given resurgent interest in the Mvskoke language but a paucity o classroom

resources or advanced study, Intermediate Creek not only oers a practical means

or learning but also marks a signifcant step in preserving and revitalizing an

important Native language.
