“Irish in the West” is not a historical contradiction, but it is—and was—a historical
problem. Irish Catholics were not supposed to be in the West—that was where
Protestant Americans went to reinvent themselves. For many of the same reasons
that the spread of southern slavery was thought to profane the West, a Catholic
presence there was thought to contradict it—to contradict America’s Protestant
individualism and freedom. The Catholic Irish were condemned as the clannish,

they were not assimilable, they should be kept beyond the American pale. Western History
As Emmons amply demonstrates, however, western reality was far more complicated.
Irish Catholicism may have outraged Protestant-inspired American republicanism,
but Irish Catholics were a necessary component of America’s equally Protestant-
inspired foray into industrial capitalism. They were also necessary to the successive
conquests of the “frontier,” wherever it might be found. It was the Irish who helped
build the railroads, dig the hard rocks, man the army posts, and do the other arduous,
dangerous, and unattractive toiling required by an industrializing society. Of related interest

A Perfect Gibraltar
The Battle for Monterrey, Mexico, 1846
By Christopher D. Dishman
For three days in the fall of 1846, U.S. and Mexican soldiers fought fiercely in the
picturesque city of Monterrey, turning the northern Mexican town, known for its
towering mountains and luxurious gardens, into one of the nineteenth century’s most
gruesome battlefields. Led by Brigadier General Zachary Taylor, graduates of the
U.S. Military Academy encountered a city almost perfectly protected by mountains,
a river, and a vast plain. Monterrey’s ideal defensive position inspired more than one
U.S. soldier to call the city “a perfect Gibraltar.” The first day of fighting was deadly
for the Americans, especially the newly graduated West Point cadets. But they soon
adjusted their tactics and began fighting building to building.
Chris D. Dishman conveys in a vivid narrative the intensity and drama of the Battle
of Monterrey, which marked the first time U.S. troops engaged in prolonged urban

A Pair of Shootists
The Wild West Story of S. F. Cody and Maud Lee
By Jerry Kuntz
In 1888, Samuel F. Cody, a twenty-one-year-old horse wrangler, met Maud Lee, a
sixteen-year-old aspiring circus performer, while touring with the Wild West show
cast of Adam Forepaugh’s Circus. A quick rapport developed between the girl from
Norristown, Pennsylvania, and the cowboy who dazzled audiences with his good
looks and fancy pistol shooting.
A Pair of Shootists is the exuberant and sometimes heartbreaking story of the elusive
S. F. Cody and his first wife, Maud Lee. Recounting their many dramatic exploits,
this biography also overturns the frequently romanticized view of Wild West shows.
Living the erratic lives of touring performers, S. F. Cody—who changed his name
to capitalize on his resemblance to William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody—and Maud
Lee first appeared together in vaudeville halls and dime museums. Setbacks in the
september United States made Cody and Lee eager to try their luck abroad, so they traveled to

conflict with the woman she had been emulating her entire career: Annie Oakley.
While other biographies focus mainly on Cody’s contribution to aviation, Kuntz uses
sources previously unavailable to scholars to paint a more complete picture of Cody’s
early years and to recover the forgotten—and ultimately tragic—story of Maud Lee.

Boessenecker Bandido
Bandido
The Life and Times of Tiburcio Vasquez
By John Boessenecker
Tiburcio Vasquez is, next to Joaquin Murrieta, America’s most infamous Hispanic
bandit. After he was hanged as a murderer in 1875, the Chicago Tribune called him
“the most noted desperado of modern times.” Yet questions about him still linger.
Why did he become a bandido? Why did so many Hispanics protect him and his band?
Was he a common thief and heartless killer who got what he deserved, or was he a
Mexican American Robin Hood who suffered at the hands of a racist government? In
this engrossing biography, John Boessenecker provides definitive answers.
Bandido pulls back the curtain on a life story shrouded in myth—a myth created
by Vasquez himself and abetted by writers who saw a tale ripe for embellishment.
Boessenecker traces his subject’s life from his childhood in the seaside adobe village
of Monterey, to his years as a young outlaw engaged in horse rustling and robbery.
Two terms in San Quentin failed to tame Vasquez, and he instigated four bloody

The Life of Agnes Morley Cleaveland

Agnes Morley Cleaveland found lasting fame after publishing her memoir, No Life

New Mexico captivated readers from coast to coast, and it remains in print to this

capable workers and independent thinkers. Her life, however, was not limited to the
ranch. In Open Range, Darlis A. Miller expands our understanding of Cleaveland’s
significance, showing how a young girl who was a fearless risk-taker grew up to be a

In the decade after the death of their revered chief Cochise in 1874, the Chiricahua
Apaches struggled to survive as a people and their relations with the U.S. government
further deteriorated. In From Cochise to Geronimo, Edwin R. Sweeney builds on his
previous biographies of Chiricahua leaders Cochise and Mangas Coloradas to offer
a definitive history of the turbulent period between Cochise’s death and Geronimo’s
surrender in 1886.
Sweeney shows that the cataclysmic events of the 1870s and 1880s stemmed in part
from seeds of distrust sown by the American military in 1861 and 1863. In 1876 and Volume 268 in The Civilization of the
1877, the U.S. government proposed moving the Chiricahuas from their ancestral American Indian Series
homelands in New Mexico and Arizona to the San Carlos Reservation. Some made
the move, but most refused to go or soon fled the reviled new reservation, viewing October

Sweeney draws on American and Mexican archives, some only recently opened,
to offer a balanced account of life on and off the reservation in the 1870s and
1880s. From Cochise to Geronimo details the Chiricahuas’ ordeal in maintaining
their identity despite forced relocations, disease epidemics, sustained warfare, and
confinement. Resigned to accommodation with Americans but intent on preserving
their culture, they were determined to survive as a people.

steps to sustain themselves economically. Although hunting and gathering had been
their mainstay for centuries, the Salish began farming—“getting good crops”—to
feed themselves because buffalo were becoming increasingly scarce.
Raised on the Flathead Reservation himself, the author is seeking to convey the Salish
story from their perspective, despite the paucity of written Salish testimony. What
emerges is a picture—both inspiring and heartbreaking—of a people maintaining
autonomy against all odds.

The first anthology to focus on the literary work of Native Americans who trace
their ancestry to “people who stayed” in southeastern states after 1830, this volume
represents every state and every genre, including short stories, excerpts from novels,
poetry, essays, plays, and even Web postings. Although most works are contemporary,
the collection covers the entire post-Removal era. Some of the contributors are well

Colonial Ch’olti’
The Seventeenth-Century Morán Manuscript
By John S. Robertson, Danny Law, and Robbie A. Haertel
At the time of the Spanish conquest, Ch’olti’ was spoken throughout much of the
southern Maya lowlands in what is present-day Petén and Chiquimula, and is closely
related to that spoken by the authors of the Classic Maya inscriptions. This book
presents for the first time a facsimile, transcription, English and Spanish translation,
and grammatical analysis of the Morán Manuscript, a Colonial-era document that
provides the sole attestation of Ch’olti’.
In addition to its value as a chronicle of the Colonial period, the Morán Manuscript
is crucial to our understanding of the Classic Maya, particularly their language,
captured in thousands of intricately carved and painted hieroglyphic inscriptions.
Robertson, Law, and Haertel, regarded as the ablest interpreters of Ch’olti’ now

A Place of Refuge
Maynard Dixon’s Arizona
By Thomas Brent Smith
With an additional essay by Donald J. Hagerty
Western painter Maynard Dixon once pronounced “Arizona” “the magic name
of a land bright and mysterious, of sun and sand, of tragedy and stark endeavor.”
“So long had I dreamed of it,” he professed, “that when I came there it was not
strange to me. Its sun was my sun; its ground was my ground.” The California-born
Dixon (1875–1946) first traveled to Arizona in 1900 to absorb what he believed
was a vanishing West. Dixon found Arizona a visually inspiring and spiritual
place that shaped the course of his paintings and ultimately defined him. A Place
of Refuge: Maynard Dixon’s Arizona is the first exhibition to focus solely on the
renowned painter’s depictions of Arizona subjects. distributed for the Tucson Museum of Art

Steamboats West
The 1859 American Fur Company Missouri River Expedition
By Lawrence H. Larsen and Barbara J. Cottrell
In 1859, the American Fur Company set out on what would then be the longest
steamboat trip in North American history—a headline-making, 6,200-mile trek
along the Missouri River from St. Louis to Fort Benton in present-day Montana, and
back again. Steamboats West is an adventure story that navigates the rocky rapids of
the upper Missouri to offer a fascinating account of travel to the raw frontier past the
pale of settlement. It was a venture that extended trade deep into the Northwest and
made an enormous stride in transportation.
Drawing on the journals of Dr. Elias Marsh and Charles Henry Weber and the official
accounts of Charles P. Chouteau and Capt. William Franklin Raynolds, who traveled
aboard the steamboats Spread Eagle and Chippewa, authors Lawrence H. Larsen
Volume 25 in the Western Lands and
Waters Series and Barbara J. Cottrell weave together firsthand accounts of the river journey with
helpful commentary. Along the way, they interject the river’s environmental history

western history
In the years after the Lewis and Clark expedition and before the Civil War, steamboats
were crucial in establishing commercial water routes in the inland West. Larsen and
Cottrell’s depiction of this one celebrated ride brings steamboat transport back to
life as modern, fast, and imposing—an apt symbol of the westward expansion that
spawned it.

Chickasaw Lives
Volume Three: Sketches of Past and Present
By Richard Green
Since he was hired by the Chickasaw Nation as tribal historian, Richard
Green has followed his nose for good stories for more than fifteen years.
Articles he has published during this time in The Journal of Chickasaw
History and Culture and in the tribal newspaper, the Chickasaw Times, were
well received by an interested and critical audience. The demand to have these
essays and profiles collected in books resulted in the publication in 2007 of
Chickasaw Lives, Volume One: Explorations in Tribal History, followed in
2008 by Chickasaw Lives, Volume Two: Profiles and Oral Histories.
Sketches of Past and Present is the third volume in the Chickasaw Lives
series. In contrast to a conventional, chronological history, Green’s book
is a fascinating amalgam of Chickasaw epochs and characters, grouped
under headings of common themes. The reader is treated to stories of great
november Chickasaw athletes in the twentieth century, as well as an essay on the significance

Proud to Be Chickasaw
By Mike and Martha Larsen
Among Oklahoma painters, Mike Larsen is a living legend. His work—from a
twenty-six-foot mural in the Oklahoma state capitol to a painting appearing on the
U.S. postage stamp honoring the Oklahoma centennial—is visible and prominent. In
2005, leaders of the Chickasaw Nation commissioned Larsen to create twenty-four
oil portraits of living Chickasaw elders. After those paintings were completed, the
Chickasaws commissioned a second series of twenty-four portraits—showcased in
this handsome, full-color volume.
In Proud to be Chickasaw, the Chickasaw master artist and his wife, Martha Larsen,
have again teamed up to offer insights into and insider perspectives on the lives
of two dozen tribal elders, including a storyteller, a longtime contributor to music
education in Oklahoma, and a World War II code talker. This book follows the
critically acclaimed They Know Who They Are, which exhibits Mike Larsen’s first
twenty-four paintings in the series, each accompanied by a biographical sketch of the
elder by Martha Larsen. november

Chickasaw Removal
By Amanda L. Paige, Fuller L. Bumpers, and Daniel F. Littlefield, Jr.
In the early nineteenth century, the Chickasaw Indians were a beleaguered people.
Anglo-American settlers were streaming illegally into their homelands east of the
Mississippi River. Then, in 1830, the Indian Removal Act forced the Chickasaw
Nation, along with other eastern tribes, to remove to Indian Territory, in present-day
Oklahoma. This book provides the most detailed account to date of the Chickasaw
removal, from their harrowing journey west to their first difficult years in an
unfamiliar land.
The Chickasaw removal began in 1837, a few years after the departures of the
Choctaws and Creeks. In their gripping account of the Chickasaws’ forced trek,
authors Amanda L. Paige, Fuller L. Bumpers, and Daniel F. Littlefield, Jr., describe
the array of characters the Chickasaws came across, including missionaries, whiskey
peddlers, profiteering government agents, and contractors, some of whom purchased
and distributed rations they knew would go rancid before the removing parties passed
November by their way stations.

Era, this book is a unique illumination of the “whole business” of removal, including

American Indian details of the places where the Chickasaws camped, bought supplies, sought medical
attention, and buried their dead. The story continues into Indian Territory, where
the Chickasaws faced a new set of obstacles but eventually persevered to become the
strong and successful nation they are today.
Amanda L. Paige, associated with the Sequoyah Research Center at the University
of Arkansas at Little Rock, is a historian, author, archivist, researcher, and museum
specialist. Fuller L. Bumpers is a writer and historian specializing in Native American
issues. Daniel F. Littlefield, Jr., is the director of the Sequoyah Research Center and the
author of numerous books, including The Chickasaw Freedmen: A People Without
a Country.
