Visions of the Big Sky

Painting and Photographing the Northern
Rocky Mountain West
By Dan Flores
From the Wind River Range to the Canadian border, the northern Rocky Mountain
West is an outsized land of stunning dimensions and emotive power. In Visions of
the Big Sky, Dan Flores revisits the Northern Rockies artistic tradition to explore its
diversity and richness. In his essays about the artists, photographers, and thematic
historical imagery of the region, he blends art and cultural history with personal
reflection to assess the formation of the region’s character. Volume 5 in The Charles M. Russell
Center Series on Art and Photography
The volume features 140 color and black-and-white illustrations, ranging from of the American West
prehistoric rock art to modernist painting, and from charismatic wildlife scenes to
classic landscape. They demonstrate the preponderance of Indians and wilderness in april

Stephens Texas: A historical Atlas

exploration of the Lone Star State
By A. Ray Stephens For twenty years the Historical Atlas of Texas stood as a trusted resource for students
and aficionados of the state. Now this key reference has been thoroughly updated
Cartography by Carol Zuber-Mallison and expanded—and even rechristened. Texas: A Historical Atlas more accurately
reflects the Lone Star State at the dawn of the twenty-first century. Its 86 entries
feature 175 newly designed maps—more than twice the number in the original
volume—illustrating the most significant aspects of the state’s history,
geography, and current affairs.
The heart of the book is its wealth of historical information. Sections de-
voted to indigenous peoples of Texas and its exploration and settlement
offer more than 45 entries with visual depictions of everything from
the routes of Spanish explorers to empresario grants to cattle trails. In
another 31 articles, coverage of modern and contemporary Texas takes in
hurricanes and highways, power plants and population trends.
Practically everything about this atlas is new. All of the essays have been
updated to reflect recent scholarship, while more than 30 appear for the first
time, addressing such subjects as the Texas Declaration of Independence,
early roads, slavery, the Civil War and Reconstruction, Texas-Oklahoma
boundary disputes, and the tideland oil controversy. A dozen new entries
for “Contemporary Texas” alone chart aspects of industry, agriculture, and
minority demographics. Nearly all of the expanded essays are accompanied
by multiple maps—every one in full color.
The most comprehensive, state-of-the-art work of its kind, Texas:

A Historical Atlas is more than just a reference. It is a striking visual
introduction to the Lone Star State.

Pipestone
My Life in an Indian Boarding School
By Adam Fortunate Eagle
Afterword by Laurence M. Hauptman
“For those convinced that Indian boarding schools were solely instruments of
psychological and cultural oppression, Fortunate Eagle’s account will be both
surprising and unsettling. Pipestone is artfully told, frequently humorous, and
deeply moving.”—David Wallace Adams, author of Education for Extinction:
American Indians and the Boarding School Experience, 1875–1928
Best known as a leader of the Indian takeover of Alcatraz Island in 1969, Adam
Fortunate Eagle now offers an unforgettable memoir of his years as a young student
at Pipestone Indian Boarding School in Minnesota. In this rare firsthand account,
Fortunate Eagle lives up to his reputation as a “contrary warrior” by disproving the
original paperback popular view of Indian boarding schools as bleak and prisonlike.

dormitory culture, student pranks, and warrior games. Although Fortunate Eagle
recognizes Pipestone’s shortcomings, he describes his time there as nothing less than
“a little bit of heaven.”

When I Came West

By Laurie Wagner Buyer
“A tour de force, brilliant, utterly candid, and unforgettable.”—Dale L. Walker,

author of Eldorado and Pacific Destiny
As a young college student in the early 1970s, Laurie Wagner had never camped out,
never gone hiking, and never lived without electricity or indoor plumbing. Yet she
walked away from these comforts and headed for the wildest reaches of Montana to
live with a man she had not met in person.
When I Came West is Laurie Wagner Buyer’s account of her terrifying and exhilarating
years in Montana as she changes from a girl too squeamish to touch a dead mouse
to a toughened frontierswoman unafraid to butcher a domestic animal. Living in a
cabin far away from family and friends, with the nearest neighbor four miles away,
Laurie finds herself caught up in two love affairs: one with the volatile Vietnam vet
Bill and one with the untamed West—even as she recognizes, in the words of one original paperback
neighbor, “It is plumb foolishness to love something that cannot love you back.” March

corners. Peeling away the romance of escaping to the wilderness, When I Came West
reveals the brutality and bounty of a world far removed from modern urban life.
Laurie Wagner Buyer, an award-winning novelist and poet, is the author of several
works, including Across the High Divide and Side Canyons. When she is not hiking
in the high country or on the road leading workshops, she resides in Llano, Texas.

My Year Commanding First Platoon, Charlie Company
By Gary W. Bray
In the fall of 1969, Gary Bray landed in South Vietnam as a recently married, freshly
minted second lieutenant in the U.S. Army. His assignment was not enviable: leading
the platoon whose former members had committed the My Lai massacre—the
murder of hundreds of Vietnamese civilians—eighteen months earlier. In this
compelling memoir, he shares his experiences of Vietnam in the direct wake of that
terrible event.
After My Lai documents the war’s horrific effects on both sides of the struggle.
Bray presents the Vietnam conflict as the touchstone of a generation, telling how his
feelings about being a soldier—a family tradition—were dramatically altered by the
events he participated in and witnessed. He explains how young men, angered by the
deaths of comrades and with no release for their frustration, can sometimes cross the
original paperback line of legal and ethical behavior.

depictions of men plunging into jungle gloom and tragedy, he demonstrates that what

yourself. An intensely personal story, gracefully rendered yet brutally honest, After

serving in Vietnam, he was awarded the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star.

A look at the real heroes and villains of a legendary conflict
Davis wyoming range War

Wyoming r ange war
The Infamous Invasion of Johnson County
By John W. Davis
Wyoming attorney John W. Davis retells the story of the West’s most notorious range
war. Having delved more deeply than previous writers into land and census records,
newspapers, and trial transcripts, Davis has produced an all-new interpretation. He
looks at the conflict from the perspective of Johnson County residents—those whose
home territory was invaded and many of whom the invaders targeted for murder—
and finds that, contrary to the received explanation, these people were not thieves
and rustlers but legitimate citizens.
The broad outlines of the conflict are familiar: some of Wyoming’s biggest cattlemen,
under the guise of eliminating livestock rustling on the open range, hire two-dozen
Texas cowboys and, with range detectives and prominent members of the Wyoming
Stock Growers Association, “invade” north-central Wyoming to clean out rustlers
and other undesirables. While the invaders kill two suspected rustlers, citizens may
mobilize and eventually turn the tables, surrounding the intruders at a ranch where $29.95 Cloth 978-0-8061-4106-0

25 B&W Illus., 1 Map
Harrison to call out the army from nearby Fort McKinley, and after an all-night ride western history
the soldiers arrive just in time to stave off the invaders’ annihilation. Though taken
prisoner, they later avoid prosecution.
The cattle barons’ powers of persuasion in justifying their deeds have colored accounts
of the war for more than a century. The Johnson County War tells a compelling story
that redraws the lines between heroes and villains.

Recounts the rise and fall of this famous 1960s community

Matthews Droppers
Droppers
America’s First Hippie Commune, Drop City
By Mark Matthews
Sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll. In popular imagination, these words seem to capture
the atmosphere of 1960s hippie communes. Yet when the first hippie commune
was founded in 1965 outside Trinidad, Colorado, the goal wasn’t one long party
but rather a new society that integrated life and art. In Droppers, Mark Matthews
chronicles the rise and fall of this utopian community, exploring the goals behind its
creation and the factors that eventually led to its dissolution.
Seeking refuge from enforced social conformity, the turmoil of racial conflict, and
the Vietnam War, artist Eugene Bernofsky and other founders of Drop City sought
to create an environment that would promote both equality and personal autonomy.
These high ideals became increasingly hard to sustain, however, in the face of external
pressures and internal divisions.

attention, the distraction of visitors, and the arrival of new residents who didn’t share
the founders’ ideals.
Matthews bases his account on numerous interviews with Bernofsky and other
residents as well as written sources. Explaining Drop City in the context of the
counterculture’s evolution and the American tradition of utopian communities, he
paints an unforgettable picture of a largely misunderstood phenomenon in American
history.

Emigrant Girls on the Overland Trails
Edited by Kenneth Holmes
Introduction by Melody M. Miyamoto
The diaries and letters of women on the overland trails in the mid- to late nineteenth
century are treasured documents. These eleven selections drawn from the multivolume
Covered Wagon Women series present the best first-person trail accounts penned by
women in their teens who traveled west between 1846 and 1898. Ranging in age from
eleven to nineteen, unmarried and without children of their own, these diarists had
experiences different from those of older women who carried heavier responsibilities
with them on the trail.
These letters and diaries reflect both the unique perspective of youthful optimism
and the experiences common among all female emigrants. The young women write

As they journey through Indian lands, these writers show that even their youth did

Fills a significant gap in our understanding of the

River of Promise
Lewis and Clark on the Columbia
By David L. Nicandri
Foreword by Clay S. Jenkinson
In the many published accounts of the Lewis and Clark expedition, historians have
tended to undervalue the explorers’ encounter with Columbia River country. Most
narratives emphasize Lewis and Clark’s adventures through their journey to the
Bitterroot Mountains but have said little about the rest of their travels west of there.
River of Promise fills a significant gap in our understanding of Lewis and Clark’s
legendary expedition. Historian David L. Nicandri shifts the focus to an essential goal
of the explorers: to discover the headwaters of the Columbia and a water route to the
Pacific Ocean. He also restores William Clark in his role as the primary geographic
problem-solver of the partnership. Most historians assume that Meriwether Lewis
was a more distinguished scientist than Clark because of his formal training in

David Halpern’s life and career span remarkable developments in the history of
modern photography, from the introduction of Kodachrome film in 1936 to the
current digital era. As a fine art and commercial photographer, perennial student and
teacher with a passion for sharing, Halpern has embraced each new technology and
applied them to a wide range of subjects.
In Pilgrim Eye, Halpern’s first book to showcase his award-winning fine art and
landscape imagery, he provides a revealing glimpse into his lifelong journey of self-
discovery. The book showcases 128 color and black-and-white photographs made
over more than fifty years of pilgrimages across America—from the Great Smoky
Mountains of Tennessee to Thomas Bay, Alaska, and from Acadia National Park in
Maine to Joshua Tree National Park in the California desert. These stunning images

The most comprehensive overview of Ortega’s life, art, and career
StoRmes, Reeves Luis Ortega’s Rawhide Artistry

Luis Ortega’s R awhide Artistry
Braiding in the California Tradition
By Chuck Stormes and Don Reeves
Foreword by Mehl Lawson
An acclaimed rawhide braider of horse gear, Luis Ortega elevated his craft to
collectible art and influenced a generation of gear makers. This book is the most
comprehensive overview of his life, art, and career and the first book-length work
on rawhide braiding in North America, charting changes in horse gear over five
decades.
Chuck Stormes and Don Reeves introduce readers to an itinerant cowboy who strove
for a level of craftsmanship and artistry above what the market expected—and to be
the best in his field. Although grounded in the Spanish vaquero tradition, Ortega’s
work was shaped by his quest for excellence and an intuitive sense of how to fashion
humble items into objects of lasting beauty. Ever a private man, he viewed his craft as Volume 7 in The Western Legacies Series
a calling yet rarely sought attention even after his reputation was established.

How a famed unit of redcoats reflected a transatlantic identity

Campbell The Royal American Regiment
The Royal American Regiment

An Atlantic Microcosm, 1755–1772
By Alexander V. Campbell
In the wake of Braddock’s defeat at Fort Duquesne in 1755, the British army raised
the 60th, or Royal American, Regiment of Foot to fight the French and Indian War.
Each of the regiment’s four battalions saw action in pivotal battles throughout the
conflict. And as Alexander Campbell shows, the inclusion of foreign mercenaries and
immigrant colonists alongside British volunteers made the RAR a microcosm of the
Atlantic world. Not just a potent, combat-ready force, it played a key role in trade,
migration, Indian diplomacy, and settlement.
This book moves beyond the campaign orientation of most regimental histories to
explore how the Royal Americans helped forge new Atlantic connections. Campbell
draws on the regiment’s rich archival legacy—including the private papers of its first
three colonels-in-chief and of mercenary field officers—to describe more fully than

On Wellington
A Critique of Waterloo
By Carl von Clausewitz
Translated, edited, and annotated by Peter Hofschröer
The Battle of Waterloo has been studied and dissected so extensively that one might
assume little more on the subject could be discovered. Now historian Peter Hofschröer
brings forward a long-repressed commentary written by Carl von Clausewitz, the
author of On War.
Clausewitz, the Western world’s most renowned military theorist, participated in the
Waterloo campaign as a senior staff officer in the Prussian army. His appraisal, offered
here in an up-to-date and readable translation, criticized the Duke of Wellington’s
actions. Lord Liverpool sent his translation of the manuscript to Wellington, who
pronounced it a “lying work.” The translated commentary was quickly buried in
Wellington’s private papers, where it languished for a century and a half. Now Volume 25 in the campaigns and
published for the first time in English, Hofschröer brings Clausewitz’s critique back commanders series.

The British Soldier under Wellington, 1808–1814
By Edward J. Coss
“A revelation, a keystone reinterpretation of the British soldier of the Napoleonic

Wars.”—John Lynn, author of The Bayonets of the Republic: Motivation and
Tactics in the Army of Revolutionary France, 1791–94
The British troops who fought so successfully under the Duke of Wellington during
his Peninsular Campaign against Napoleon have long been branded by the duke’s
own words—“scum of the earth”—and assumed to have been society’s ne’er-do-
wells or criminals who enlisted to escape justice. Now Edward J. Coss shows to
the contrary that most of these redcoats were respectable laborers and tradesmen
and that it was mainly their working-class status that prompted the duke’s derision.

backgrounds and daily lives. He describes how these neglected and abused soldiers
came to rely increasingly on the emotional and physical support of comrades and

An overlooked turning point in the trans-Mississippi theater
Christ Civil War Arkansas, 1863

Civil War Arkansas, 1863
The Battle for a State
By Mark K. Christ
The Arkansas River Valley is one of the most fertile regions in the South. During
the Civil War, the river also served as a vital artery for moving troops and supplies.
In 1863 the battle to wrest control of the valley was, in effect, a battle for the state
itself. In spite of its importance, however, this campaign is often overshadowed by the
siege of Vicksburg. Now Mark K. Christ offers the first detailed military assessment
of parallel events in Arkansas, describing their consequences for both Union and
Confederate powers.
Christ analyzes the campaign from military and political perspectives to show how
events in 1863 affected the war on a larger scale. His lively narrative incorporates
eyewitness accounts to tell how new Union strategy in the Trans-Mississippi theater
enabled the capture of Little Rock, taking the state out of Confederate control for the

A sweeping narrative of a classic journey
Bagley So Rugged and Mountainous

So Rugged and Mountainous
Blazing the Trails to Oregon and California, 1812–1848
By Will Bagley
The story of America’s westward migration is a powerful blend of fact and fable.
Over the course of three decades, almost a million eager fortune-hunters, pioneers,
and visionaries transformed the face of a continent—and displaced its previous
inhabitants. The people who made the long and perilous journey over the Oregon and
California trails drove this swift and astonishing change. In this magisterial volume,
Will Bagley tells why and how this massive emigration began.
While many previous authors have told parts of this story, Bagley has recast it in its
entirety for modern readers. Drawing on research he conducted for the National
Park Service’s Long Distance Trails Office, he has woven a wealth of primary
sources—personal letters and journals, government documents, newspaper reports,
and folk accounts—into a compelling narrative that reinterprets the first years of
overland migration. march

A Rough Ride to Redemption

The Ben Daniels Story
By Robert K. DeArment and Jack DeMattos
Foreword by William B. Secrest
He may be little known today, but Ben Daniels was a feared gunman who typified the
journeyman gunfighter every bit as much as those whose names have become legend.
Yet his story has eluded researchers and yarn-spinners alike—until now.
Two prominent western historians have teamed up to tell the story of Ben Daniels’s
rise from outlaw and convict to presidential protégé and high-ranking officer of the
law. Tracing his life from jailhouse to White House, from Dodge City to San Juan Hill,
Robert DeArment and Jack DeMattos present a full-length biography of Daniels, the
most controversial of Teddy Roosevelt’s “White House Gunfighters.”

that he had killed eighteen men, and Jim Levy, who killed a man for disparaging his
Irish blood, though he was also the only known Jewish gunfighter.
These stories span eight decades, from the gold rushes of the 1850s to the 1920s.

Beyond Bear’s Paw

The Nez Perce Indians in Canada
By Jerome A. Greene
In the fall of 1877, Nez Perce (Nimiipuu) Indians were desperately fleeing U.S. Army

Perces headed for the Canadian border, hoping to find refuge in the land of the
White Mother, Queen Victoria. But the army caught up with them at the Bear’s Paw

and most of his people surrendered.

The story of an overlooked but important Apache leader

Shapard Chief Loco
Chief Loco
Apache Peacemaker
By Bud Shapard
Jlin-tay-i-tith, better known as Loco, was the only Apache leader to make a lasting
peace with both Americans and Mexicans. Yet most historians have ignored his
efforts, and some Chiricahua descendants have branded him as fainthearted despite
his well-known valor in combat. In this engaging biography, Bud Shapard tells the
story of this important but overlooked chief against the backdrop of the harrowing
Apache wars and eventual removal of the tribe from its homeland to prison camps in
Florida, Alabama, and Oklahoma.
Tracing the events of Loco’s long tenure as a leader of the Warm Springs Chiricahua
band, Shapard tells how Loco steered his followers along a treacherous path of
unforeseeable circumstances and tragic developments in the mid-to-late 1800s. While
recognizing the near-impossibility of Apache-American coexistence, Loco persevered

The Peyote Road

Religious Freedom and the Native American Church
By Thomas C. Maroukis
Despite challenges by the federal government to restrict the use of Peyote, the Native
American Church, which uses the hallucinogenic cactus as a religious sacrament, has
become the largest indigenous denomination among American Indians today. The
Peyote Road examines the history of the NAC, including its legal struggles to defend
the controversial use of Peyote.
Thomas C. Maroukis has conducted extensive interviews with NAC members and
leaders to craft an authoritative account of the church’s history, diverse religious
practices, and significant people. His book integrates a narrative history of the Peyote
faith with analysis of its religious beliefs and practices—as well as its art and music—
and an emphasis on the views of NAC members.
Deftly blending oral histories and legal research, Maroukis traces the religion’s history Volume 265 in The Civilization of the
from its Mesoamerican roots to the legal incorporation of the NAC; its expansion to American Indian Series

American Indians and the Fight

for Equal Voting Rights
By Laughlin McDonald
The struggle for voting rights was not limited to African Americans in the South.
American Indians also faced discrimination at the polls and still do today. This book
explores their fight for equal voting rights and carefully documents how non-Indian
officials have tried to maintain dominance over Native peoples despite the rights they
are guaranteed as American citizens.
Laughlin McDonald has participated in numerous lawsuits brought on behalf of

Native Americans in Montana, Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wyoming.
This litigation challenged discriminatory election practices such as at-large elections,
redistricting plans crafted to dilute voting strength, unfounded allegations of election
fraud on reservations, burdensome identification and registration requirements, lack
of language assistance, and noncompliance with the Voting Rights Act. McDonald

The Seminole Nation of Okl ahoma

A Legal History
By L. Susan Work
Foreword by Lindsay G. Robertson
When it adopted a new constitution in 1969, the Seminole Nation was the first of
the Five Tribes in Oklahoma to formally reorganize its government. In the face of
an American legal system that sought either to destroy its nationhood or to impede
its self-government, the Seminole Nation tenaciously retained its internal autonomy,
cultural vitality, and economic subsistence. Here, L. Susan Work draws on her
experience as a tribal attorney to present the first legal history of the twentieth-
century Seminole Nation.
Work traces the Seminoles’ story from their removal to Indian Territory from Florida
in the late nineteenth century to the new challenges of the twenty-first century. She

Wake Framing the Sacred

Fr aming the Sacred

The Indian Churches of Early Colonial Mexico
By Eleanor Wake
Christian churches erected in Mexico during the early colonial era represented the
triumph of European conquest and religious domination. Or did they? Building on
recent research that questions the “cultural” conquest of Mesoamerica, Eleanor Wake
shows that colonial Mexican churches also reflected the beliefs of the indigenous
communities that built them. European authorities failed to recognize that the meaning
of the edifices they so admired was being challenged: pre-Columbian iconography
integrated into Christian imagery, altars oriented toward indigenous sacred
landmarks, and carefully recycled masonry. In Framing the Sacred, Wake examines
how the art and architecture of Mexico’s religious structures reveals the indigenous
people’s own decisions regarding the conversion program and their accommodation
of the Christian message.

relationship to orthodox Christian iconography, she draws on a wide geographical
latin america sampling across various forms of Indian artistic expression, including religious
sculpture and painting, innovative architectural detail, cartography, and devotional
poetry. She also offers a detailed analysis of documented native ritual practices that—
she argues—assist in the interpretation of the imagery.
With more than 200 illustrations, including 24 in color, Framing the Sacred is the
most extensive study to date of the indigenous aspects of these churches and fosters a
more complete understanding of Christianity’s influence on Mexican peoples.

In their efforts to convert indigenous peoples, Franciscan friars brought the Spanish
Inquisition to early-sixteenth-century Mexico. Patricia Lopes Don now investigates
these trials to offer an inside look at this brief but consequential episode of Spanish
methods of colonization, providing a fresh interpretation of an early period that has
remained too long understudied.
Drawing on previously underutilized records of Inquisition proceedings, Don ex-

motivations for using the Inquisition and the indigenous response to it. She focuses
on the consecutive impact of four trials—against nahualli Martín Ocelotl, an

attitudes toward evangelization. Bonfires of Culture reexamines important primary
documents and offers a new perspective on a pivotal historical era.

He was the man behind Mobil Oil Company’s legendary flying Pegasus and the creator
of numerous magazine covers familiar to a generation of readers. Yet even when fully

as well, and never drew a divide between the two. Both were about expressing the
essence and particularity of life. Lougheed was a true “painter’s painter.”

After earning a place among renowned illustrators, Lougheed joined the Cowboy
Artists of America and helped found the National Academy of Western Art. Both
honored him with multiple awards. He painted prolifically abroad, bringing back
scores of fresh oils, watercolors, and sketches from France and England. Wherever
he traveled—the Virgin Islands, Hawaii, Alaska, or the American Southwest—he
painted incessantly. He mentored many young artists, schooling them in his “creative
truth,” which included the necessity of creating from life rather than photographs.
Wherever he went, he found horses, and he honored them through his art.
Author Don Hedgpeth makes clear why “contemporary western art owes a major debt
of gratitude to Bob Lougheed.” This book takes a long stride toward repaying that
debt and introduces a remarkable artist to any who have not yet had the pleasure.

Sport in Ancient Times

By Nigel B. Crowther
From the Olympic Games of Greece to the gladiatorial contests of Rome, sport in
the ancient world was fiercely competitive and included a wider range of physical
contests than we moderns might suspect. The early Chinese played forms of polo
and golf, while half a world away, Hohokam and Maya Indians enjoyed team
ball games.
Nigel Crowther, a leading authority on classical Greek sport, here casts his net over
the entire ancient world to reveal the variety, and often the intensity, of sport in earlier
times, from 3000 b.c.e. to the Middle Ages. Taking in twenty premodern societies
on five continents—with particular emphasis on ancient Greece and Rome and the
Byzantine Empire—he traces connections to modern sporting attitudes, practices,
and institutions as he describes how athletics figured in cultural arenas that extended
beyond physical prowess to ritual, social status, military associations, and politics.
Crowther takes us back to the birth of sumo wrestling in Japan and describes the january
sports of the Sumerians and Hittites. He documents bull leaping and boxing as $19.95s Paper 978-0-8061-3995-1

pharaohs in Egypt. He shows the significance of the early Olympic Games, describes classical studies

Atalanta, to female Roman gladiators.

Bloom Murder of a Landscape

Murder of a L andscape
The California Farmer-Smelter War, 1897–1916
By Khaled J. Bloom
Between 1896 and 1919, air pollution from large-scale copper smelting in northern
California’s Shasta County severely damaged crops and timber in a 1,000-square-mile
region, completely devastating a core area of 200 square miles. The poisons from
these smelters created the nation’s largest man-made desert—a shocking contrast to
the beauty of the surrounding Cascades and Trinity Alps.
This book traces the development of that environmental catastrophe and explains a
long, complex, and rancorous struggle that involved several corporations, hundreds
of farmers and ranchers, and all levels of government. In tackling this long-neglected
story—one hardly known within or beyond California—Khaled J. Bloom takes
readers back to the region of that time and shows how the copper industry posed
serious environmental threats from the beginning. He tells of hardscrabble settlers

The Nauvoo Legion in Illinois

A History of the Mormon Militia, 1841–1846
By Richard E. Bennett, Susan Easton Black, and Donald Q. Cannon
When the Mormons established their theocratic city of Nauvoo on the banks of the
Mississippi in 1839, they made self-defense a priority, having encountered persecution,
violence, and forcible expulsion elsewhere. Organized under Illinois law, the Nauvoo
Legion was a city militia made up primarily of Latter-day Saints. This comprehensive
work on the history, structure, and purpose of the Nauvoo Legion traces its unique
story from its founding to the Mormon exodus in 1846.
An American construct in design, appearance, and function, the Nauvoo Legion

quickly became one of America’s largest—and most feared—militias. The authors
describe its origins, daily activities, and general conduct, including parades, sham
battles, uniforms, and military operations. And they also present a new interpretation
of the Legion’s essential purpose and character. Drawing upon overlooked state
militia records and recently discovered archival material, they identify the thousands may

Mormon Prophet Joseph Smith. As the militia grew in strength and military prowess,
neighboring non-Mormons grew wary. Soon, local fears led to violence and the killing

the militia no longer enjoyed legal status and assumed a distinctly different role in
Mormon affairs until it was reconstituted after the Mormon emigration to Utah.

George R. Maxwell, Civil War Hero and

By John Gary Maxwell
Following distinguished Civil War service that took one of his legs and rendered an
arm useless, General George R. Maxwell was sent to Utah Territory and charged—
first as Register of Land, then as U.S. marshal—with bringing the Mormons into
compliance with federal law. John Gary Maxwell’s biography of General Maxwell
(no relation) both celebrates an unsung war hero and presents the history of the
longest episode of civil disobedience in U.S. history from the point of view of this
young, non-Mormon who lived through it.
With the onset of the Civil War, Maxwell volunteered for the First Michigan Cavalry
and fought in most of the war’s major battles in Virginia and at Gettysburg. In his
subsequent service, Maxwell waged a different war as he battled the Mormon church’s
april leadership over ownership of land, water, and timber. In the courts, in election

hero and an unappreciated shaper of Utah history. His biography reveals this period
through the eyes of a soldier and civil servant who embodied federal authority in
Utah during its turbulent post–Civil War years.

Hancock’s War
Conflict on the Southern Plains
By William Y. Chalfant
When General Winfield Scott Hancock led a military expedition across Kansas,
Colorado, and Nebraska in 1867, his purpose was a show of force that would curtail
Indian raiding sparked by the Sand Creek massacre of 1864. But the havoc he and
his troops wrought on the plains served only to further incite the tribes and inflame
passions on both sides, disrupting U.S.-Indian relations for more than a decade.
William Y. Chalfant has devoted years of research to produce a detailed narrative

covering the entire scope of Hancock’s “Expedition for the Plains.” This first thorough
scholarly history of the ill-conceived expedition offers an unequivocal evaluation of
military strategies and a culturally sensitive interpretation of Indian motivations and
reactions.
Chalfant explores the vastly different ways of life that separated the Cheyennes and volume 28 in the frontier military series

needs of the other. He shows how Hancock’s efforts were counterproductive, brought april

Hor ace Plunkett in America

An Irish Aristocrat on the Wyoming Range
By Lawrence M. Woods
When Horace Plunkett left Britain for the American West in 1879, seeking relief for
lung problems, he launched a ranching career in Wyoming that influenced the cattle
industry and altered the course of his own life. Previous biographers have studied his
career in British politics and his involvement in the agricultural cooperative movement.
Lawrence M. Woods now offers a detailed look at Plunkett’s American years.
This is the first book to portray Plunkett as a major figure in the western-range cattle
industry, unearthing new evidence that reveals how he mastered the microeconomics
of ranching. Woods brings his own business and legal acumen to the narrative to
describe how, even as other Britons failed to find fortune in the West, Plunkett
continually pursued new business arrangements while navigating the thickets of
American law.

Patrick Connor’s War

The 1865 Powder River Indian Expedition
By David E. Wagner
The summer of 1865 marked the transition from the Civil War to Indian war on
the western plains. With the rest of the country’s attention still focused on the East,
the U.S. Army began an often forgotten campaign against the Sioux, Cheyenne, and
Arapaho. Led by Gen. Patrick Connor, the Powder River Indian Expedition into
Wyoming sought to punish tribes for raids earlier that year. Patrick Connor’s War
describes the troops’ movement into hostile territory while struggling with bad
weather, supply shortages, and communication problems.
David E. Wagner’s carefully assembled account carries readers along the trail of
Connor’s men and allows soldiers to give firsthand impressions of the land and
campaign. The author draws on journals, letters, and reports—especially the James
H. Kidd Papers, a copy of Connor’s expedition report previously believed burned,

The story of Thomas Gilcrease (1890–1962) is the story of the world’s first oil boom,

of Tulsa, Oklahoma. With over 500,000 artifacts, pieces of art, and archival gems,
it is a testament to one man’s dedication and vision. In Thomas Gilcrease, the man
behind that museum is revealed.
Born in 1890, Thomas Gilcrease came of age at roughly the same time that Indian
Territory became the forty-sixth state of the Union, in 1907. As a citizen of the Creek
Nation, he received a 160-acre allotment near Kiefer—land located, as it turned out,
within the famous Glenn Pool oil field. By August 1909, the forty-nine wells on this

rarely seen historical photographs, tell the story of one man’s life and legacy. The
contributors include present and former staff of the Gilcrease Museum and regular
contributors to its journal. “Every man must leave a track,” Gilcrease once said,
“and it might as well be a good one.”

Art of the Okl ahoma State Capitol
The Senate Collection
By Bob Burke
Exploring Oklahoma through paintings and sculpture, Art of the Oklahoma State
Capitol examines the history of the state from the Indian Territory period through
the twentieth century and beyond. Focusing on the art collected by Senator Charles
Ford and sponsored by the Oklahoma State Senate Historical Preservation Fund, it
reveals—through the vision of talented artists from around the state—the personalities
of those who have shaped Oklahoma’s past and present.
Art of the Oklahoma State Capitol is divided into five sections, each detailing
different aspects of the Oklahoma experience. The first section, “Oklahoma’s
People,” features portraits of the famous as well as the ordinary men and women
who challenged themselves and those around them to improve life for the citizens
of the state and of the nation. The next section, “Oklahoma’s Beauty,” examines

“folklorist in wood”
Will ard Stone

By Randy Ramer, Carole Klein, Kimberly Roblin, and Regan Hansen
As a boy growing up in eastern Oklahoma, Willard Stone spent much of his free time
drawing. Admiring the work of Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci, he dreamed of
becoming a painter. When he was thirteen, a dynamite cap he was holding exploded
and he lost segments of two fingers and the thumb of his right hand. Deeply affected,
he withdrew, thinking he would never become the artist he hoped to be.
But Stone’s deep desire to create motivated him to rise above his disability. He began
shaping little animal figures using the wet clay from the ditches near his home.
Eventually he discovered that the medium of wood appealed to him more, and he
adapted carving tools to fit his injured hand. He was transformed by his love of wood
and his desire to shape it.
This lavishly illustrated volume presents the life and work of Cherokee woodcarver
Willard Stone. Four authors, including staff of the Gilcrease Museum and one of
Stone’s grandsons, provide insight into the artist’s biography, his carving techniques,

thoughtfulness in the planning stages of the artistic process. Referring to himself as
a “folklorist in wood,” Stone carved his philosophy of life into his works, creating
stories that glowed with universal truths and resonated with his own personality. In
addition to his ability to create beautiful forms, it is his gift of storytelling that lends
the carvings of Willard Stone their profound mark of distinction.

Showcases the range and genius of a beloved American artist
Ramer, morand, klein, haralson charles banks wilson

Charles Banks Wil son
Contributions by Randy Ramer, Carole Klein, Anne Morand, and
Carol Haralson
Charles Banks Wilson is one of Oklahoma’s most beloved and accomplished artists.
Known for his portraits and murals honoring great Oklahomans and Oklahoma history,
and for his career-spanning series of portraits of Native Americans, his place in the
history of American art is assured. This stunning book, featuring nearly two hundred
reproductions of his works, celebrates both his life story and his artistic legacy.
As demonstrated in this book, Wilson’s work is characterized both by technical

expertise and aesthetic genius. But his place in the hearts of Americans and in the
company of such great regionalists as Thomas Hart Benton is secured by his eye for
the everyday truths of humbler subjects: for example, boys leaping into a swimming
hole or cooks stirring the bean pot at a powwow. His work ranges widely across
media; he is equally skilled in pencil, ink, watercolor, and oil, and he is a master
