The University of Utah Press is a memberof the Association of American UniversityPresses.

This year marks the sixtieth anniversary of the University of Utah Press. As the new and varied titles featured in this catalog demonstrate, the Press has come a long way since the 1949 release of New Teeth for Old­­a pamphlet about false teeth. In the past year and a half our books have been honored for excellence in writing and research; recent titles have won the Evans Handcart and Evans Biography awards, the Utah Book Award, the Idaho Book of the Year Award, and several awards from the Mormon History Association.

And there are exciting plans for the future.

Splendid HeritagePerspectives on American Indian Arts

John and Marva WarnockEdited by Clinton Nagy

Foreword by Robert Redford

!e Splendid Heritage catalog of American Indian artifacts represents the commitment of American collectors to share the beauty and significance of hundreds of ethnographic treasures with a worldwide audience. Originally exhibited as the Akicita Collection at the Southwest Museum and as Splendid Heritage at the Wheelwright and Eiteljorg Museums, the expanded collection of artifacts will be on display at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts beginning in February 2009.!is catalog became a reality through the thoughtful, collaborative e"orts of John and Marva Warnock and several other collectors of rare and unusual artifacts, the majority of which were produced by Plains and Eastern Woodlands cultures. !e passionate respect and attention to detail of these collectors is reflected in descriptions and provenance for every artifact, presented in magnificent full-page color images and accompanied by essays from internationally recognized scholars. !e contributors celebrate the artifacts not merely for their singular qualities as fine art, but also for their significance in the religious and political lives of their original owners.

More than one hundred years later, the legacy of their dream continues to define Utah. !e spirit of the pioneers’ endurance, progress, and hope during the journey to statehood is the Utah experience of yesterday and today.

Topaz“Forty-five years ago, Japanese-American children pledged allegiance” to the flag while caged behind barbed wire at Topaz, a desert encampment in central Utah. !eir crime was their ancestry; their penalty was loss of freedom. Over 8,000 men, women, and children were interned in Utah, victims of wartime fears after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

The Long Walk Tears of the Navajo!e year was 1864. Eight thousand Navajo men, women, and children were forced from their sacred homeland to march more than 300 miles to a barren reservation called Bosque Redondo. Many died along the way and during the four-year incarceration that followed. It was called “!e Long Walk,” and is a story of heartbreak and triumph in the face of enormous adversity.

Maynard Dixon To the Desert AgainHe survived the destruction of his city by earthquake and fire, the Great Depression, and the civilizing of the West. He spent over two decades sketching it for western novels, and then decades more on a quest to find and portray the “real” West–the vast space, intense silence, and profound spirit of the land and people of the American desert. Maynard Dixon captured the endless sky and towering mesas in paint and poetry.

Spring/Summer 2009Western History6

“Any historian of the American West will agree that the voyages of John Wesley Powell down the Green and Colorado rivers in 1869 and again in 1871 are among the most important and meaningful expeditions ever undertaken in the region. Not only were they Homerian epics of exploration, complete with danger, hardship, and even tragedy, but genuine scientific work was accomplished: blank spaces on the map were filled in, canyons and features were named, the entire expanse of land encompassed by the river basins was taken from the realm of obscurity and mystery and made a real part of the United States. But what makes the Powell journeys unique among such sagas is the fact that they were so well documented. Most exploring expeditions of this type are recorded by the leader or at most one or two others; among the 21 men who were part of Powell’s two trips, no less than 17 of them kept journals or wrote long, detailed letters to family members or to their hometown newspapers recounting their adventures and impressions. !us the whole epic can be seen not just through the eyes of the leader, but from the standpoint of the people who made it happen. In the 1940s, the Utah State Historical Society did scholars and historians an immense favor by gathering virtually all of these accounts into two bound volumes, but these are long out of print and have since become collector’s items, scarce and expensive. Now the University of Utah Press has stepped up and reprinted these essential works in new editions, thus earning the gratitude of a whole new generation of readers, historians, and river runners.”

Diary of Almon Harris ThompsonExplorations of the Colorado River of the West and Its Tributaries, 1871–1875Edited by Herbert E. GregoryCo-published with the Utah State Historical Society

In some respects the most important of the early Colorado River exploration journals, the diaries of Almon Harris !ompson can naturally be divided into three sections: the navigation of the Green and Colorado rivers; the exploratory traverse from Kanab to the mouth of the Fremont River; and the systematic mapping of central, eastern, and southern Utah and northern Arizona. !ompson’s maps of the Colorado drainage basin, including the first maps of southern Utah and the

canyons of the Green and Colorado rivers, place him in the front rank of geographic explorers and they proved invaluable to the later Powell expedition. Originally published in 1939 in volume seven of the Utah

Historical Quarterly, !ompson’s journal is reprinted here for the first time in seventy years.

Almon Harris !ompson (1839–1906) was brother-in-law to Major Powell and joined the expeditions as chief assistant, geographer, and topographer. Following the expeditions he served as chief geographer for the United States Geological Survey and was a leader in the founding of the National Geographic Society.

April 2009

The University of Utah Press is honored to announce a co-publishing program with the Utah State Historical Society. The initial undertaking brings to life three out-of-print volumes covering the numerous accounts of the exploration of the Colorado River between 1869 and 1875.

The Exploration of the Colorado River in 1869 and 1871–1872 Biographical Sketches and Original Documents of the First Powell Expedition of 1869 and the Second Powell Expedition of 1871–1872Edited by William Culp Darrah, Ralph V. Chamberlin,and Charles KellyCo-published with the Utah State Historical Society

Volume fifteen of the Utah

Historical Quarterly was primarily devoted to Powell’s initial reconnaissance of the canyons of the Green and Colorado rivers, an expedition that would prove to be the last great exploration through unknown country in the continental United States. Powell and nine companions launched from Green River Station, Wyoming, on May 24, 1869, embarking on a journey that would become a race against starvation and grow tragic with the deaths of three of the party at the hands of the Shivwits (Paiute) Indians. !e maps, field notes, and journals of this first exploration would guide Powell when he returned to the canyons in 1871 for a second expedition.

Major John Wesley Powell (1834–1902) fought for the Union in the Civil War. He later served as director of the Bureau of Ethnology at the Smithsonian and was the second director of the United States Geological Survey.

George Young Bradley (1836–1885) left his position with the U.S. Infantry to join Powell’s first expedition as chief boatman and to assist in geological work.

Walter Henry Powell (1842–1915) was invited on the expedition by his brother in hopes it would help him recover from the mental and emotional turmoil he su"ered as a prisoner of war during the Civil War. His July 3, 1869 letter to the Chicago Evening Journal is reprinted here.

Oramel G. Howland (1883–1869) was tasked by Powell with mapping the river and taking notes throughout the expedition. He was one of three men killed by Indians.

John C. Sumner (1840–1907) was a first-rate marksman and an excellent manager of the expedition’s lead boat.

Francis Marion Bishop (1843–1933) joined the second expedition as topographer, making the first map of the Colorado River based upon actual field measurements and data.

April 2009

The Exploration of the Colorado River and the High Plateaus of Utah by the Second Powell Expedition of 1871–1872Edited by Herbert E. Gregory, William Culp Darrah, and Charles KellyCo-published with the Utah State Historical Society

!e Second Powell Colorado River Exploration, consisting of eleven men and three boats at the time of launch, departed from Green River Station, Wyoming, on May 22, 1871. Most members kept journals, and this volume contains the writings of three men, Stephen Vandiver Jones, John F. Steward, and Walter Clement Powell, as well as excerpts from the journals of John Wesley Powell. Taken together, they provde diverse points of view about the second expedition, both in terms of its human components and in its scientific labors.

Stephen Vandiver Jones (1840–1920) left his position as a principal in Washburn, Illinois, to serve as assistant topographer on the second expedition. He wrote relatively little about himself or his companions in his journals, choosing instead to focus his records on the typical tasks of a topographer: instrumental observations, sketches, and mathematical calculations.

John F. Steward (1841–1915) joined the Powell expedition as assistant geologist, but he was forced to resign his post when the exertion required by the exploratory work combined with a rheumatic a#iction and an old war injury to nearly disable him. His journal is frank, honest, and informative, and his technical geological notes surpassed on occasion the detail of even Major Powell.

Walter Clement Powell (1850–1883) was first cousin of Major Powell and joined the expedition as assistant to E. O. Beaman, the o$cial photographer. His journal focused on the personalities rather than the science of the expedition, and his picturesque and lively entries provide the fullest understanding of the day-to-day joys and sorrows, achievements and frustrations of the expedition.

Fire PondJessica Garratt

Winner of the 2008 Agha Shahid Ali Prize in Poetry

“Jessica Garratt’s Fire Pond sifts through raw experience and su"ering, in this case betrayal rather than marginalization or family trauma, toward acceptance and understanding of a deep nature. Garratt’s philosophical curiosity and openness are counterpoints to her refreshing wit and humor. She narrates her private tragedy candidly but without self pity or narcissism,

while infusing her work with an Emersonian sense of place as sacred.”

Jessica Garratt is a doctoral candidate in poetry at the University of Missouri-Columbia, where she serves as poetry editor of The Missouri Review. Her poems have appeared or are forthcoming in The Missouri Review, Shenandoah, North

Elite Craft Producers, Artists, and Warriors at AguatecaLithic AnalysisKazuo Aoyama

Volume Two of Monographs of the AguatecaArchaeological Project First PhaseTakeshi Inomata and Daniela Triadan, general editors

!is archaeological report centers on findings at Aguateca, a unique site in the Petexbatun region of the southern Mayan lowlands that was unexpectedly attacked in AD 810. !e subsequent rapid abandonment and burning of many of the elite and nonelite residences at the site provide archaeologists with an encapsulated record of domestic and political activities on the last day of occupation. !e in situ artifact assemblages from use and storage structures enable the study of specific activities and allow them to be addressed in depth owing to the precise spatial patterning of the assemblages, which di"er significantly from those of gradually abandoned sites. Elite Craft Producers, Artists, and Warriors at Aguateca uses the excavation data from twelve structures and various use areas to investigate artistic and craft production activities by elite men and women and warriors in Classic Maya society. Specifically, Aoyama focuses on detailed use-wear analysis of stone tools by employing high-power microscopy to address production, warfare, and the domestic and ritual lives of the Maya. He provides descriptions and discussion of over ten thousand lithic artifacts from the Aguateca site, which was a center of both utilitarian and luxury goods.

“A fine piece of lithic scholarship that advances knowledge of the Classic Maya elite in a number of important domains.”

The Archaeology of Meaningful PlacesEdited by Brenda J. Bowser and María Nieves Zedeño

Foundations ofArchaeological InquiryJames M. Skibo, series editor

In the broadest sense this book is concerned with describing and explaining how particular places contain the key elements necessary for understanding the social worlds constructed, maintained, and modified by those who once inhabited them. !is is achieved through the investigation of biographical, topographic,

geopolitical, ideological, cosmological, and mnemonic facets of place, beginning with processes of place making and continuing with the development of networks among and between places and broader landscapes. Diverse spatial and temporal contexts in two culture areas–Mesoamerica and the Greater Southwest–serve as backdrops for nine chapters in which fourteen contributors show how place is an ideal starting point to begin unraveling the human past.

Brenda J. Bowser is an assistant professor of anthropology at California State University, Fullerton. She is author of Cultural Transmission and Material

The Northern World, AD 900–1400Edited by Herb Maschner, Owen Mason, and Robert McGhee

Anthropology of Pacific North America

!e region stretching across the Arctic from the Bering Straits to Greenland is one of the most critical for understating modern global climate change, especially as it a"ects keystone species and indigenous peoples. However, substantial changes in the Arctic environment are not solely modern phenomena. !e period between AD 900 and 1400 witnessed some of the most dynamic and variable arctic climates

since the last Ice Age. !roughout the period from the Medieval Climatic Anomaly (an unusually warm period) to the Little Ice Age, this region also saw two of the greatest migrations in human history, an unprecedented level of warfare among hunters, the rise and fall of widespread cultures, hemispheric trade networks, and the beginnings of today’s indigenous northern peoples.

Herbert Maschner is research professor of anthropology at Idaho State University.

Owen K. Mason is editor of the Alaska Journal of Anthropology and a board member of the Alaska Anthropological Association.

Robert McGhee is a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and of the Arctic Institute of North America.

Shifting SandsThe Archaeology of Sand HollowRichard K. Talbot and Lane D. Richens

BYU Museum of Peoples and CulturesOccasional Paper No. 13

Hidden beneath the beautiful shifting dunes within the Sand Hollow Basin of southwestern Utah are thousands of campsites dating from the Early Archaic period into Historic times. !e sites attest to life in a marginal environment, where small groups of people moved outward from the nearby Virgin River into the surrounding landscape, seasonally exploiting a surprisingly rich variety of plants and animals. Sites range from short-term, hearth-centered camps that were occupied for hours or days, to some wickiup-focused occupations that lasted for weeks and even months. !is report summarizes archaeological, geomorphological, botanical, and climatological studies that have expanded our understanding of Native American land use and subsistence in this hot desert environment.

Lane Richens is a senior sta" archaeologist with the O$ce of Public Archaeology at Brigham Young University.

Touching the PastRitual, Religion, and Trade of Casas GrandesEdited by Glenna Nielsen-Grimm and Paul Stavast

BYU Museum of Peoples and Cultures Popular Series 5

!e florescence of the Casas Grandes culture (AD 1150-1300) was arguable the most complex society to develop in the American Southwest. Centered at Paquimé in Chihuahua, Mexico, this desert culture influenced development throughout the Southwest. What caused its collapse is not known, but by the arrival of the Spanish in the 1500s, Paquimé was in ruins. !is volume explores Casas Grandes ideology, pottery, sport, and trade relations with other areas of the New World. To many, the Casas Grandes culture is of most interest because of its pottery, characterized by beautifully crafted e$gy vessels and pottery jars with intricately painted, geometric maze like patterns. !is volume includes a full-color catalog of 125 vessels that comprise the Museum of Peoples and Cultures’ Casas Grandes pottery collection. Also included is a field guide for identifying the various types of Casas Grandes pottery.

Glenna Nielsen-Grimm was a co-curator of the exhibit Touching the Past: Traditions of the Casas Grandes at the Museum of People and Cultures.

Paul Stavast was a co-curator of the exhibit Touching the Past: Traditions of the Casas Grandes at the Museum of People and Cultures.

Amasa Mason Lyman, Mormon Apostle and ApostateA Study in DedicationEdward Leo Lyman

!e early history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is filled with fascinating characters, but few led a more tumultuous life than Amasa Lyman. He served as a missionary in the “burned-over” district of upstate New York and in Ohio before moving to Kirtland. He participated in the conflicts with hostile Missourians and emigrated to Nauvoo, Illinois. !ere, he became a leader in the church and a close associate of Joseph Smith. Lyman then led a

company of pioneers across Iowa to Winter Quarters and on to the Salt Lake Valley. He was sent to the California gold fields and led the colonization of San Bernardino, where he became its first mayor, before returning to Utah. Having spent more than thirty years in the service of his church, Lyman began to move away from its teachings after a series of conflicts with its second leader, Brigham Young. Lyman was one of the first Mormons to criticize the Mountain Meadows Massacre, which led to his dismissal as an apostle. He was excommunicated in 1870 and became one of the foremost spokesmen of the Godbeite–Church of Zion movement before his death in 1877.

Edward Leo Lyman taught history at North High School, Victor Valley College, California Polytechnic University at Pomona, and California State University, San Bernardino.

On the Mormon FrontierThe Diary of Hosea Stout, 1844–1889Edited by Juanita Brooks

Hosea Stout was a participant in the mainstream movement as the newly formed Mormon Church expanded its membership and range. He held numerous positions of responsibility in church, civic, and governmental organizations, including as an o$cer of the militias of Illinois and Utah, attorney general of the State of Deseret and the Territory of Utah, and president of the house of the Utah Territorial Legislature. Such positions gave Stout the opportunity to observe and record events of great moment in Mormon history that were outside the reach of many diarists. His records of the territorial legislature o"er a more informative and detailed account of the a"airs of the legislative assembly than even the o$cial journals of that body. Yet Stout also imbues his diaries with a sense of the familiar, recounting moving experiences from his daily life. !is edition of On the Mormon Frontier presents Stout’s diary in a single volume, proving that it continues to be an essential work in the study of Mormon and American history.

“One of the most magnificent windows upon Mormon history ever opened, an enduring contribution to American history.”

—Dale Morgan, historian and author of The Great Salt Lake

Juanita Brooks (1898–1989) remains among the most notable and recognized of Utah historians, widely respected for her courage, integrity, and thoroughness in documenting and interpreting Mormon history and culture. Her many publica-tions include The Mountain Meadows Massacre; the monumental A Mormon

Chronicle: The Diaries of John D. Lee, 1848–1876; and her autobiography Quicksand and Cactus.

The Giant JoshuaMaurine Whipple

Set in the 1860s at Utah’s Dixie Mission, The Giant

Joshua is the deeply moving story of a far-flung outpost in the desert where a band of Mormons, like the giant Joshua, fight to survive in an arid land. A young Mormon girl–innocent, tender, courageous–finds herself torn between fear of her older husband and love for his son; between her passionate faith in the stern tenets of Mormonism and her equally passionate desire for beauty and gaiety.

Among the MormonsHistoric Accounts by Contemporary Observers Edited by William Mulder and A. Russell Mortensen

A fascinating eyewitness history of the Mormon movement, from its beginnings as a curious, controversial sect to its present-day prosperity. Told through contemporary accounts, letters, newspaper columns, documents, and memoirs by the Saints themselves and by the travelers, journalists, soldiers, o$cials (and their wives), humorists, and sensation-seekers who followed and observed the Mormons in their great trek westward and in the later struggles and adventures in Zion.

The Historical Guide to Utah Ghost TownsStephen L. Carr

Ghost towns: the shadowy remains of a town’s former life and activity, houses, schools, and churches left behind to dry and crumble in the arid winds of Utah. Carr presents more than 150 such sites across the state–towns formed around mines, railroads, and agriculture–but there remains a nagging suspicion that there are other ancient, forgotten villages still lurking in the hills.

Utah Ghost RailsStephen L. Carr and Robert W. Edwards

Just as there are ghost towns in Utah, there are ghost railroads, lines that have run the course of their existence. Ghost rails are helpful in developing an understanding of why lines are built and how railroads are pertinent to the economy of the state. More engaging, though, is the sense of abandonment that comes from standing on a vacant roadbed where once twin rails lay, and over which passed thousands of trains.

Salt Desert TrailsCharles KellyEdited and with an introduction by Peter H. DeLafosse

First published in 1930, Salt Desert Trails tells the story of the Great Salt Desert crossings by early explorers and emigrant parties. Central to the story is the opening of the Hastings Cuto" in 1846, which led to the tragedy of the Donner Party and the pioneering of the emigrant trails through Utah’s Wasatch Mountains.

Lost Treasures on the Old Spanish TrailGeorge A. Thompson

!e Old Spanish Trail was a pathway with but one purpose: to lead followers to the legendary land of Cibola and its immeasurable treasures of silver and gold. Lost Treasures

on the Old Spanish Trail takes readers through the history of the trail and its surrounding lands, from the arrival of Spanish conquistadors and the treasures of Montezuma, through its expansion northward, to the traces of the trail that can still be found today.

Papa Married a MormonJohn D. Fitzgerald

John D. Fitzgerald promised his mother–a Mormon woman who married a Catholic man–to present a true portrayal of the courageous people in Mormon territory, the “little people who built the West.” Based on memories of his early life, this heart-warming story is filled with a cast of rollicking characters, a touching narrative of the life and times of the author’s venturesome family.

Bark Beetle Outbreaksin Western North AmericaCauses and ConsequencesHannah NordhausEdited by Barbara Bentz

Since the 1990s, bark beetles have collectively killed billions of trees across millions of acres of forest in western North America, from Alaska to northern Mexico. Although a force of natural change in forest ecosystems, the increased intensity, expanded range, and synchroneity of recent bark beetle outbreaks have proved the most devastating in recorded history, and there seems to be no indication that future infestations will slow.

Bark Beetle Outbreaks in Western North America: Causes and Consequences is the result of a symposium convened by scientists with the US Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Center. !is easy-to-read booklet examines the ecology and biology of bark beetles, the extent of historical and current outbreaks, and the potential consequences of such widespread infestations on forest ecosystems. Factors contributing to increased outbreaks, such as climate change, natural disturbances, and human influence are discussed, and possible preventative measures proposed.

Climate Warmingin Western North AmericaEvidence and Environmental E!ectsEdited by Frederic H. Wagner

Western North America is a unique area to use as a laboratory for climate change. Aridity makes it highly sensitive to changes in precipitation and the majority of its water resources come from mountain streams fed by snowfall. Any change to water availability has a direct a"ect on agriculture and livestock ranching throughout the region. !is book focuses largely on climate change during the twentieth century and the associated environmental e"ects in western

North America. It also uses models based on twentieth-century changes to project twenty-first-century changes. !e scientific evidence presented here does not engage in policy advocacy, but provides policy makers useful information in planning for the future.

Frederic Wagner is professor emeritus in the Department of Forest, Range, and Wildlife Sciences at Utah State University, where he served as director of the Ecology Center.

Man CornCannibalism and Violence in the Prehistoric American SouthwestChristy G. Turner II and Jacqueline A. Turner

!is study of prehistoric violence, homicide, and cannibalism explodes the myth that the Anasazi and other Southwest Indians were simple, peaceful farmers. Using detailed osteological analyses and other lines of evidence the Turners show that warfare, violence, and their concomitant horrors were as common in the ancient Southwest as anywhere else in the world.

“Man Corn is a remarkable achievement, a joy to read, and a sobering learning experience. At the risk of sounding trite, this book is one of the few that truly belong on the shelf of every Southwestern archaeologist.”

—Kiva

“Man Corn presents significant scientific research that cannot fail to focus the factions of the “science wars” on archaeology, and the relative values of data and discretion in archaeology’s search for truth.”

Armenians and the Alliesin Cilicia, 1914–1923Yücel Güçlü

In the midst of World War I, the Ottoman government forcibly removed most of its Armenian citizens from their eastern Anatolian lands. According to reliable estimates, close to forty percent of the prewar population perished. While recognizing the controversy and tragedy of the events of 1915 that led to the death of hundreds of thousands of Armenians, author Yücel Güçlü refrains from accepting the genocidal label that other scholars have assigned the episode.

Güçlü bases his claim largely on evidence from state and military archives in Turkey, Britain, and the United States that look specifically into the Ottoman version of history, placing the whole question of genocide in a wider and more nuanced perspective than that in which it is usually depicted. According to the author, revolutionary Armenian forces were threatening the Ottoman Empire from within as it was simultaneously threatened by external forces. Armenians were also actively involved with Allied forces throughout World War I. In response, the Ottoman government ordered the movement of the Armenian population away from protected and sensitive war zones. !e actions taken by the Ottoman Empire to control the Armenian population were those of relocation, not extermination. Working to explain why the Armenian conflict emerged and how it was eventually resolved, this book discusses the Armenian revolutionary and separatist movements, Turkish measures of self defense, and Allied schemes regarding the region during the period. It places special emphasis on the influence of Allied forces on the actions of Armenians in Cilicia.

Yücel Güçlü is first counselor at the Turkish Embassy in Washington, DC.
