A
Choctaw story from Tennessee tells about how the
People acquired light. In its essence, it recounts how
wit and age, here in the person of Grandmother Spider,
found a way to trap the light from the sun to relieve the dark
world, for in the beginning there was no light. Opossum
tried first and ventured to the sun to trap a piece of light.
He tucked it under his tail, which burst into ame, so he
dropped the piece and returned home empty-handed. Then
Buzzard tried, but he kept the piece of sun on his head; he
did not succeed in trapping the light because his feathers
burned, which is why buzzards have bald, red heads to this
day. Finally, old Grandmother Spider journeyed to the place
of the sun, marking her way with a trail of spider silk and
taking with her a clay bowl. She caught a piece of the sun,
put it into her bowl, and managed to bring it back. That is
why the People have light, why bowls get baked in fire, and
why spiders make webs like the rays of the sun.

Fire—The Spark That Ignited Human Evolution
Frances D. Burton
The association between our ancestors and fire, somewhere around six to four million years
ago, had a tremendous impact on human evolution, transforming our earliest human ancestor,
a being communicating without speech but with insight, reason, manual dexterity, highly
developed social organization, and the capability of experimenting with this new technology.
As it first associated with and then began to tame fire, this extraordinary being began to
distance itself from its primate relatives, taking a path that would alter its environment,
physiology, and self-image.
Based on her extensive research with nonhuman primates, anthropologist Frances
Burton details the stages of the conquest of fire and the systems it affected. Her study examines
the natural occurrence of fire and describes the effects light has on human physiology. She
constructs possible variations of our earliest human ancestor and its way of life, utilizing
archaeological and anthropological evidence of the earliest human-controlled fires to explore
the profound physical and biological impacts fire had on human evolution.
Frances D. Burton is professor of anthropology at the University of Toronto. She has studied
primates in Costa Rica, Honduras, Barbados, China, Malaysia, Kenya, Morocco, and Gibraltar,
examining the biological bases of behavior. Her many publications include the edited volume
Social Process and Mental Abilities in Non-Human Primates: Evidences from Longitudinal Field
Studies and a pioneering CD titled “A Multimedia Guide to the Non-Human Primates.”

The Travails of Two Woodpeckers
*WPSZ#JMMTBOE*NQFSJBMT
Noel F. R. Snyder, David E. Brown, and Kevin B. Clark
Nearly two feet long with striking black, white, and red plumage, the Ivory-billed and
Imperial Woodpeckers were two of the most impressive woodpeckers in the world. Both
species were known to be in serious decline by the end of the nineteenth century and are
likely extinct today, though occasional reports of sightings persist. While the Ivory-billed
was one of the first endangered birds to receive intensive conservation attention, the efforts
were too often misdirected, and too little, too late. Concern for the fate of the Imperial
Woodpecker came even later and resulted in a similar fate.
The probable extinction of two of North America’s largest and most charismatic birds
has much to teach us regarding conservation efforts, especially as many other species face
similar problems. In closely examining the history of the decline and causes of extinction
of the Ivory-billed and Imperial Woodpeckers, the authors offer explanations for the birds’
demise and strategies for future conservation and research efforts that focus mainly on the
deadly, though largely understated, role of human depredations.
Noel F. R. Snyder is a retired field biologist formerly with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
and with Wildlife Preservation Trust International. He is an author of many books, including
The Carolina Parakeet: Glimpses of a Vanished Bird, The California Condor: A Saga of Natural
History and Conservation, Raptors of North America: Natural History and Conservation, The Parrots
of Luquillo: Natural History and Conservation of the Puerto Rican Parrot, and Parrots: Status
Survey and Conservation Action Plan 2000–2004.
David E. Brown is a research scientist affiliated
with Arizona State University. His publications
include The Grizzly in the Southwest, The Wolf
in the Southwest, Arizona Game Birds, Arizona
Wetlands and Waterfowl, Borderland Jaguars,
as well as numerous edited works, such as
Aldo Leopold’s Southwest. Kevin B. Clark is a
former U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist
who worked on the recovery of endangered
species such as the California Gnatcatcher and
California Least Tern and was regional recovery
coordinator for the threatened Western Snowy
Plover. He now works as a freelance biologist
who conducts endangered species surveys and
monitoring for government agencies and private
companies.

The Valles Caldera consists of a twelve-mile-wide collapsed volcanic crater and more than
ten postcollapse volcanic domes in New Mexico’s Jemez Mountains. For over a century, it
was safeguarded within the 89,000-acre Baca Ranch. In the year 2000, Congress passed
the Valles Caldera Preservation Act, creating the Valles Caldera Trust to purchase the
ranch and create a nine-member board of trustees responsible for the protection and
development of the Valles Caldera National Preserve.
With special permission, qualified geologists interested in volcanic processes and
hydrothermal systems have been allowed to conduct research on the preserve. One of
those volcanologists, Fraser Goff, collaborated with the Valles Caldera Trust to provide an
accessible scientific overview of the caldera’s geologic wonders.
Presented in two parts, Valles Caldera first offers a summary of significant geologic
events that have taken place in the Valles Caldera area. Then Goff presents the geology,
volcanology, and geothermal characteristics of the Caldera and the Jemez volcanic field.
Geologic terms and names unfamiliar to all but professional geologists are defined in a
summarizing glossary.
Fraser Goff is adjunct professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at
the University of New Mexico. A Fellow of the Geological Society of America, Goff retired
from the Geology/Geochemistry Group
at New Mexico’s Los Alamos National
Laboratory (LANL) in 2004 after twentysix years of service. In 1994, the respected
volcanologist discovered that the Galeras
volcano in the Colombian Andes was
spewing more than a pound of gold each
day into the atmosphere and estimated
that forty-five pounds of gold a year was
deposited into the rocks beneath the
crater. Goff has worked on more than
forty geothermal systems and fifteen
active volcanoes during his career.

The Ancient Southwest
$IBDP$BOZPO#BOEFMJFSBOE.FTB7FSEF
David E. Stuart
Over twenty-five years ago, David Stuart began writing award-winning newspaper articles on
regional archaeology that appealed to general readers. These columns shared interesting, and
usually little-known, facts and stories about the ancient people and places of the Southwest.
By 1985, Stuart had penned enough columns to fill a book, Glimpses of the Ancient
Southwest, which has been unavailable for years. Now he has rewritten most of his original
articles to include recently discovered information about Chaco Canyon, Bandelier, and
Mesa Verde.
Stuart’s unusual perspective focuses on both the past and the present: “Want to know
why gasoline now costs $4.00 a gallon, and is headed higher, yet we have no instant solution?
Chacoan, Roman, even Egyptian archaeology all provide elemental answers.” The Ancient
Southwest shares those with us.

Pot Luck
Adventures in Archaeology
Katherine Wells’s obsession with petroglyphs (images pecked on stone) began in the 1960s.
Three decades later, after careers as a teacher, a businessperson, and an artist in Southern
California, Wells and Lloyd Dennis, her partner, purchased almost two hundred acres near
Española in northern New Mexico. The large boulders on the property contained many
examples of rock art from previous Native inhabitants and the lure was overwhelming.
Wells describes the beginning of her new life and her exploration of the petroglyphs
on her new land. Meeting New Mexico archaeologists and local rock art aficionados, and
locating previously published information about petroglyphs and the prehistoric inhabitants
of the Española area, Wells learned to identify the time periods when the glyphs were made
and to understand many of the motifs found among the more than six thousand petroglyphs
on the site.
In addition to discovering all she could about her surroundings, Wells worked with
Dennis to design and construct three buildings on their property, each constructed of straw
bales. Each of their experiences introduced these transplanted New Mexicans to the oft-cited
definition of mañana:: “not today.” However, the beauty of their adopted homeland made the
trials and struggles they encountered pale in comparison.
Katherine Wells is a mixed-media artist and founder of the Vecinos del Rio Mesa Prieta
Petroglyph Project. After many years of work to protect the petroglyphs on Mesa Prieta,
Wells recently gave the land described in Life on the Rocks to the Archaeological Conservancy.
In 2005, she was awarded the Conservation and Preservation Award by the American Rock
Art Research Association.

The Fly-Fishing Predator
Raymond C. Shewnack
The modern angler, with a wide array of tools at ready disposal, seems a far cry from early
man perched at the side of a stream with spear in hand, and an even further cry from the
bobcats, bull snakes, owls, and hawks that stalk their prey in the natural world around them.
But all predators have one thing in common: they must abide by the laws of survival, ensuring
that the amount of energy they expend in catching their prey doesn’t outweigh the gain. In this
illustrated how-to guide, Raymond Shewnack invites fishermen to hone their hunting skills,
sharpen their senses, and shift their perspective from that of an angler to that of a fly-fishing
predator.
Whether you measure success by the challenge of the size or the number of the fish
you catch, Shewnack illustrates how you can improve your fishing experience by applying
predator skills. Shewnack begins by examining the tools of the trade, identifying what, out of
a seemingly endless selection of rods, reels, lines, and flies, will make angling easier and more
efficient. He then addresses skills such as casting, the ability to read the water, choosing a fly,
and hooking and landing techniques that are necessary for successful fly-fishing. A little time
spent practicing the skills learned here will improve your effectiveness and productivity the
next time you’re in the water.
Raymond C. Shewnack, CEO of Wright Edge
Advertising in Albuquerque, has been fishing
the streams of New Mexico for over fifty years.
He is the coauthor of 49 Trout Streams of
New Mexico (UNM Press).

A History
Updated edition
When Mary Stuever graduated from forestry school in the early 1980s, her profession
was facing tremendous challenges as the nation’s forests were poised for serious decline
from catastrophic wildfires, insect outbreaks, and suburban encroachment. Stuever
captured this transition over the last few decades in her syndicated monthly column
“The Forester’s Log.” Originally penned for newspapers in rural forested communities
in the Southwest, the column has found its way into various magazines, newsletters,
anthologies, and Web sites.
Stuever’s career involves firefighting, fire rehabilitation, timber sale administration,
environmental education, and many other aspects of forest management. Through
her work with native tribes, local, state, and federal agencies, and private landowners,
Stuever focuses on the important bond between land and people. With an inspiring
and informative style, Stuever’s tales weave fresh insight into forest issues. Her writings,
collected here for the first time, tell the poignant story of places, people, and experiences
that have shaped her passion while offering a rare glimpse of forestry in the Southwest
at the turn of the new millennium.
Mary Stuever works as a forester for the state of New Mexico. Her syndicated column
“The Forester’s Log” appears in newspapers in communities scattered throughout the U.S.
and Canada. She has published essays in such works as A Mile in Her Boots and served as
one of the editors for Field Guide to the Sandia Mountains (UNM Press).

Gloria Zamora
Grandparents are our teachers, our allies, and a great source of love. They supply endless
stories that connect us to a past way of life and to people long gone—people who led
ordinary lives, but were full of extraordinary teachings. This is the subject of Sweet Nata,
a memoir about familial traditions and the joys and hardships the author experienced in
her youth. Set during the 1950s and 1960s in Mora and Corrales, New Mexico, Zamora
reveals her interaction with her parents, grandparents, and other extended family members
who had the greatest influence on her life. She paints a picture of native New Mexican
culture and history for younger generations that will also be nostalgic for older generations.
“Zamora offers a unique and authentic perspective on the Hispanic experience
in New Mexico. As a memoir, it’s a rare glimpse into the daily living of a family and
a community.”—Ana Baca, author of Mama Fela’s Girls (UNM Press)
Gloria Zamora, a retired orthodontic assistant, lives in Corrales, New Mexico. Her short
stories about family, culture, and heritage have appeared in La Herencia Magazine.

Ladette Randolph
After her life as she knows it is ended by heartbreak, Mary Rasmussen, a strong-willed and
independent young ranch woman living in the Sandhills of western Nebraska, suddenly
feels that all she has believed in—God, her instincts, the land itself—has failed her, and she
abandons her cultural and emotional ties, succumbing to circumstances she thinks she is
powerless to control. In a rash decision, she marries a conservative, patriarchal preacher who
doesn’t understand Mary, the ranching community, or anything beyond his own beliefs.
“This is good, old-fashioned storytelling at its best, and Mary Rasmussen will live forever
in your hearts as a young woman who faces enormous tests and survives in order to protect
those she loves. Stubborn, determined, and loyal, Mary makes a life that requires both
imagination and grit and you end up rooting for her every inch of the way.
“Randolph is revisioning the American plains in this novel, telling the stories of the
women who struggle side-by-side with men on their Sandhills ranches and in their small
towns. These are people of great courage and even greater integrity, who love and lose and love
again, as undaunted as their pioneer forebears in their efforts to make a life for themselves and
future generations. . . .
“Randolph writes truthfully of the Nebraska Sandhills, a harsh land that exacts a brutal price
for those who choose to love it. Having lived there, one never truly leaves, as Mary Rasmussen
discovers, it etches its beautiful scar on body and soul.”—Jonis Agee, author of The River Wife
Ladette Randolph is director of the nationally renowned journal Ploughshares and a
Distinguished-Publisher-in-Residence in the Writing, Literature, and Publishing program at
Emerson College, Boston. A former acquiring editor and interim director at University of
Nebraska Press, she is the author of the short story collection This Is Not the Tropics and editor
of two anthologies, A Different Plain: Contemporary Nebraska Fiction Writers and The Big Empty:
Contemporary Nebraska Nonfiction Writers. She is the recipient of the Pushcart prize, a Rona
Jaffe Foundation grant, two Nebraska Book Awards, the Virginia Faulkner Award from Prairie
Schooner, and she has been reprinted in Best New American Voices.
“With penetrating insight and solid authority
on the rural west, Ladette Randolph has carved
out a compelling saga of a young woman ripening
into maturity. You cannot help but cheer for Mary
Rasmussen. Randolph’s work is tough, tender, and
brave, a pitch-perfect take on the hard beauty of
life on the Nebraska prairie.”—Pam Joern, author

The Sonny Baca Mysteries
by Rudolfo Anaya
.ZTUFSZ
Shaman Winter
Rudolfo Anaya
This third installment of Rudolfo Anaya’s Sonny Baca mystery series has the private detective
confined to a wheelchair. Brutal battles with his nemesis Raven have taken their toll and Baca
is struggling to regain his health.
Nights of fitful sleep and intermittent dreams introduce Owl Woman, one of Sonny’s
ancestors and the sixteenth-century daughter of a shaman. As Sonny sleeps, Raven abducts
Owl Woman and soon, one by one, each of Sonny’s forebears begin to disappear. Immobilizing
Sonny physically was Raven’s first goal; now he wants to destroy Sonny’s soul by erasing his
history.
“Be aware that if you only skate on the surface, you will miss the depth of the story.
You have to dive head-first, literally, into the waves of poetic prose to catch a glimpse of the
forces that keep our universe together.”—La Voz
“Shaman
Shaman Winter is a creative, entertaining, spiritual, and wonderful mystery.”
—BookReview.com
“The fast-paced story line of Shaman Winter is fascinating and absolutely eerie
as the master paints a vivid picture of the spirituality of another culture.”—Harriet Klausner,

The Guaymas Chronicles
La Mandadera
Human rights investigator John Alexander returns in David Stuart’s third novel as he
traverses the rough landscapes of Latin America, this time with his twelve-year-old ward,
Andalusia, in tow. Kidnapped, then rescued in northern Peru, Andy, as Alexander calls his
young companion, has extracted what their superstitious muleskinner guides believe to be
a mystical revenge when she strikes down a powerful Ecuadorian general allied to those
responsible for her mother’s death and steals the cross he profanely wears around his neck.
Andy is no saint, but she is a complicated character, traumatized by the abuses she has
suffered at the hands of her abductors. Haunted by his own childhood torments, Alexander
forms a deep bond with Andy as together they try to reconcile their troubled pasts.
The three novels in anthropologist Stuart’s collection, The Ecuador Effect, a PEN
Southwest 2007 fiction finalist, Flight of Souls, and now Angel of Vilcabamba, offer unique
glimpses into diverse cultures, the complexities of human interaction, and the psychological
effects of violence.
David E. Stuart was the first student in the state of West Virginia (1967) to earn a degree
in anthropology. He earned his MA and PhD from UNM in 1970 and 1972. A cofounder
of UNM’s Office of Contract Archaeology, he has conducted fieldwork in Mexico, Alaska,
Ecuador, and the American Southwest, where he continues to publish in both anthropology
and archaeology. Stuart served the University of New Mexico as a senior academic
administrator for many years, and still teaches the archaeology of New Mexico. His other
UNM Press books include Prehistoric New Mexico (with R. P. Gauthier), the widely read Anasazi
America, the award-winning The Guaymas Chronicles, Zone of Tolerance, and The Ecuador Effect.
His most recent work, a novel, Flight of Souls, was released in March 2008.

Nambé Year One
Orlando Romero
Foreword by Thomas E. Chávez
Long out of print, Nambé Year One is a novel of Gypsies and Payasos who reportedly wandered
through the mountains of northern New Mexico many years ago. The story portrays local
folklore themes from the old days—and of old ways—of the people in this rugged region.
“Romero’s book is a novel, but not just a novel. It is philosophy, a metaphysical selfexploration into faith, heritage, and humanity. . . . As I read the book for the second time I
began to comprehend that the message of this book is not for the self-centered and self-fooled,
those people with pretensions of superiority. This is a book for the weak and lost who are
really neither, for they are determined and strong enough to want to know the ‘why’ and
‘what’ of their very being. . . .
“This work is a contribution that stands among the stars, for, truly, it is as valuable.”
—Thomas E. Chávez, from the Foreword
Orlando Romero, novelist, sculptor, and
santero, is the retired library director of
the Palace of the Governors Museum
of New Mexico, Santa Fe. He resides
in Nambé, New Mexico. Romero is the
coauthor of Adobe: Building and Living With
Earth. Thomas E. Chávez is the former
director of the National Hispanic Cultural
Center, Albuquerque, and the former
curator and director of the Palace of the
Governors, Museum of New Mexico, Santa
Fe. He is the author of numerous books,
including New Mexico Past and Future and
Spain and the Independence of the United
States, both published by UNM Press.

Author, poet, linguist, and oral historian Nasario García turns to his childhood home,
the Río Puerco Valley southeast of Chaco Canyon in northern New Mexico, for the setting of
this collection of fictional short stories. These tales are based on García’s personal experiences
or stories he heard about people or events while growing up in his valley. They illustrate the
vibrant culture of rural northern New Mexico and its inhabitants with a cast of common
characters, above all women, whose compassion, willfulness, humor, observation, and spirit
reflect the rich heritage of the environment that inspired their creation.
Some of García’s characters proclaim their own goodness and live on to enjoy that
righteousness; others fall victim to the shortcomings of human nature. Regardless, laughter,
empathy, and introspection are the common threads that connect these wonderful stories to
one another.
García originally wrote these tales in his native tongue, Spanish, and later translated them
into English. Both versions appear here with a bilingual glossary that places regional terms and
local idioms side-by-side for those unfamiliar with northern New Mexico Spanish.
Master folklorist and native New Mexican Nasario García has published numerous books
dealing with Hispanic folklore and the oral history of northern New Mexico and for three
decades has dedicated his time to the preservation of Hispanic culture and language of the
region whose primary roots rest in Spain and Mexico.

“Cricket in the Web provides a fascinating glimpse into life in a small, politically corrupt
New Mexico town in the late 1940s. It also shows that however tragic the murder of
young Ovida ‘Cricket’ Coogler was, her death had a remarkable impact on the life of
many people, and who murdered her and why is one of the most enduring mysteries
in New Mexico history.”—

“In the early morning of March 31, 1949, Cricket [Coogler] had the worst date of
her life. She got into somebody’s car alive and left it dead. She was just 18. . . . Because
the mystery remains unresolved, we don’t find out who committed the crime. But [Paula]

she tells what happened to all the players in the story.”—Pasatiempo (Santa Fe, NM)

Over twenty years ago, Jim Belshaw compiled some of his newspaper columns for a book
called Semi-Native. As he is not a native New Mexican, Belshaw’s wife, who is a native,
decided he was entitled to that status. As Belshaw notes, “Something about the place
[New Mexico] gets inside of you and the next thing you know you’ve become a SemiNative. I still am.”
Belshaw has been a columnist for the Albuquerque Journal for nearly three decades,
writing about the people who have shared a portion of their lives with him. Conversational
in tone, some humorous and some tragic, these columns invite the reader to participate in
the discussion.
For this sequel to Semi-Native, Belshaw returned to the columns he has written since
that book appeared, selecting his favorites. He has arranged the stories into groupings dealing
with his adopted state and hometown, friends (old and young) who have passed, and people
and acquaintances with whom he can still commune.
Jim Belshaw has been a respected and loved columnist in Albuquerque since before the
introduction of cell phones and blogs. He collaborated on Closing the Chart (UNM Press)
with Stephen D. Hsi M.D. and Beth Corbin-Hsi.

“[The Weighty Word Book] will appeal to kids who want to sound as smart as they are. It offers
a clever, funny way to introduce new words into the vocabulary. . . . There’s one word for
every letter of the alphabet—wait until you see what they do with dogmatic, juxtapose and
zealot.”—The Gazette (Colorado Springs, Colorado)
“Each of these twenty-six short stories takes an elaborate, circuitous path that leads to
a ‘weighty’ one-word punch line. . . . It’s a creative and humorous approach to vocabulary
building, and a natural lead in to having students create their own tall tales with multisyllabic
conclusions.”—School Library Journal
Paul M. Levitt is professor of English at the University of Colorado, Boulder. In addition to
The Weighty Word Book, he has cowritten other children’s books, including How Raven Found

These are five of the twenty-six words, one for each letter of the alphabet, that appear in
Weighty Words, Too. As with the earlier Weighty Word Book, the stories, often fanciful, help
young readers build their vocabularies.
“Hibernate” tells the tale of Nathaniel, a very energetic Canadian bear, who plays in the
snow with the other bears. Soon all the bears tire and want to sleep, with the exception of
Nate. “He’s hyper,” one grizzly bear observes. “If it’s winter sleep you want,” advises Nathaniel,
“then I suggest you do the opposite from me, hyper Nate.” So, whenever animals sleep
through the winter, think of “hyper Nate,” and you will remember the word HIBERNATE.
Paul M. Levitt is professor of English at the University of Colorado, Boulder. In addition
to The Weighty Word Book, he has cowritten another children’s book, The Stolen Appaloosa
and Other Indian Stories with Elissa S. Guralnick, professor of English, College of Music,

University of Massachusetts in Amherst, and an MA in art education from Montclair State

Darfur
Lucian Niemeyer
Foreword by Governor Bill Richardson
Darfur, located in westernmost Sudan, is that nation’s largest region, situated on the border
with Chad. For centuries, northern Sudan has been predominantly Arab Muslim and the
south, black African. Ruled as a colonial state by, primarily, Egypt and Britain, Sudan was
granted independence in 1956 with Khartoum, in the northern Arab Muslim territory, as its
seat of power.
In 1983, the Sudanese government announced that all of Sudan would officially be a
Muslim country. The “sharia,” the Muslim code of laws, became the rule: those not Muslim
are deemed unclean and infidels. Southern Sudan began resisting the genocide waged by the
Muslim north. This resistance led to the 1992 announcement of a holy jihad by the Sudanese
government, leading to today’s humanitarian crisis in Darfur.
“Lucian Niemeyer understands that to truly tell the story of the turmoil in Darfur and
Sudan one must understand the history and root causes that brought the Sudan and its people
to this situation. His breathtaking photographs and compelling narrative tell the definitive
story of the conflict and will help the readers across the globe to understand the true nature
of the genocide and the people caught up in it every day. . . . I applaud him for this wonderful
book and join him in his urgent cry for help for those oppressed in Sudan who cannot speak
for themselves.”—Governor Bill Richardson, from the Foreword
Lucian Niemeyer is a professional photographer who operates out of Santa Fe. He has
traveled the world, photographing human and environmental conditions, and is the author
of New Mexico: Images of a Land and Its People (with Arthur Gómez), Africa: The Holocausts of
Rwanda and Sudan, and Desert Wetlands (with Thomas Lowe Fleischner), all UNM Press titles.
Bill Richardson is the governor of New Mexico and served as U.S. Ambassador to the United
Nations in 1997. He also provided the foreword for Niemeyer’s Africa: The Holocausts
of Rwanda and Sudan.

A young boy suffering from epilepsy in Nepal seeks treatment from traditional healers and
western medicine. A young girl in a Tijuana slum observes the role pollution plays in the
health of her community. A teenager in Atlanta is the only member of his family not infected
with HIV and is learning to deal with the stigma of the disease.
This collection of unique narratives told from the perspectives of young people from
around the world serves as a valuable educational tool, providing youth with a context for
understanding global health, not just in a physiological sense, but from a psychological and
sociological perspective as well. Representing six geographical regions and twenty-three
countries, these stories address chronic diseases like diabetes, cancer, and epilepsy; infectious
diseases like HIV, malaria, tuberculosis, and typhoid; and mental and behavioral health issues
such as depression, eating disorders, and smoking cessation.
These stories, along with ones that illustrate the environmental, political, and sociocultural health factors that affect young people and their communities every day, are sure
to spark debate and stimulate discussions in classrooms, community centers, and at dinner
tables around the world.
Emily Mendenhall holds an MA in public health from the Hubert Department of Global
Health, Emory University. She has conducted research and worked in Zambia, Chile,
Guatemala, and Chicago, studying health disparities, reproductive health, mental health,
HIV/AIDS, diabetes, migration, and structural violence. She is currently working on her PhD
in medical anthropology at Northwestern University. Kate Winskell, PhD, teaches courses
on global health communication, HIV/AIDS, gender, sexuality, and global health at Emory
University in Atlanta. With her husband, Daniel Enger, she coordinates the “Scenarios from
Africa” HIV/AIDS communication process (www.globaldialogues.org) which inspires tens
of thousands of young Africans to write storylines for short films about the epidemic.

San Juan Legacy
-JGFJOUIF.JOJOH$BNQT
Duane A. Smith
Photographs by John L. Ninnemann
As early as the eighteenth century, Spanish explorers left place-names, lost mines, and legends
scattered throughout Colorado’s San Juan Mountains. In 1869 and the early 1870s the legends
lured hopeful prospectors to the area, ushering in its greatest mining era and transforming it
into one of the country’s most celebrated mining districts. Faced with a boom-bust economy,
unpredictable weather, and the risk of violent death, mining camps and towns nevertheless
struggled to institute local governments that would address issues such as sanitation, the
maintenance of schools, and the enforcement of law and order.
As the economic boom headed toward its inevitable decline, towns like Silverton, Ouray,
Telluride, Creede, Lake City, and Rico found themselves seeking visitors and tourists who
wanted to experience the historical West and its accompanying folklore and legend. The
pioneers and mining communities were supplanted in that rugged and unforgiving terrain.
In this history of the San Juan mining region, Duane Smith’s text and John Ninnemann’s
photographs offer a glimpse into the lives of towns that sprang up in remote canyons and
mountain plateaus in southwestern Colorado and the settlers who attempted to recreate the
eastern communities they had left behind.
Duane A. Smith is professor of history at Fort Lewis College. He collaborated with John L.
Ninnemann on San Juan Bonanza: Western Colorado’s Mining Legacy (UNM Press). Ninnemann
is former dean of the School of Natural and Behavioral Sciences at Fort Lewis College. He
was the photographer for Canyon Spirits: Beauty and Power in the Ancestral Puebloan World
(UNM Press).

Throughout the development of the American West, prostitution grew and flourished
within the mining camps, small towns, and cities of the nineteenth-century Rocky
Mountains. Whether escaping a bad home life, lured by false advertising, or seeking to
subsidize their income, thousands of women chose or were forced to enter an industry where
they faced segregation and persecution, fines and jailing, and battled the hazards of disease,
drug addiction, physical abuse, pregnancy, and abortion. They dreamed of escape through
marriage or retirement, but more often found relief only in death. An integral part of western
history, the stories of these women continue to fascinate readers and captivate the minds
of historians today.
Expanding on the research she did for Brothels, Bordellos, and Bad Girls (UNM Press),
historian Jan MacKell moves beyond the mining towns of Colorado to explore the history of
prostitution in the Rocky Mountain states of Arizona, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada,
Utah, and Wyoming. Each state had its share of working girls and madams like Big Nose Kate
or Calamity Jane who remain celebrities in the annals of history, but MacKell also includes
the stories of lesser-known women whose role in this illicit trade nonetheless shaped our
understanding of the American West.
Jan MacKell received her MA in history
from the University of Colorado. She resides
in Victor, Colorado, and is director of the
Cripple Creek District Museum in nearby
Cripple Creek. MacKell is also the author
of Cripple Creek District: Last of Colorado’s
Gold Booms. Thomas J. Noel is a former
chair of the Denver Landmark Preservation
Commission and current National Register
reviewer for Colorado. Nicknamed “Dr.
Colorado,” Noel is a professor of history
at the University of Colorado, Denver, and
author of Riding High: Colorado Ranchers and

Lost Mines and Buried Treasures of Arizona
W. C. Jameson
Arizona’s history is liberally seasoned with legends of lost mines, buried treasures, and
significant deposits of gold and silver. The famous Lost Dutchman Mine has lured treasure
hunters for over a century into the remote, treacherous, and reportedly cursed Superstition
Mountains east of Phoenix. Gold and silver bars discovered in Huachuca Canyon by a soldier
stationed at nearby Fort Huachuca just before World War II remain inaccessible despite years
of laborious attempts at recovery. Outside the town of Yucca, bandits eager to make a fast
getaway buried a strongbox filled with gold, unaware they wouldn’t survive the pursuit of a
law-enforcing posse to recover their plunder. And somewhere in the Little Horn Mountains
northeast of Yuma lies an elusive wash containing hundreds of odd gold-filled rocks.
Selected from hundreds of tales passed down from generation to generation since the days
of the gold-seeking Spanish explorers, the tales included here are among the most compelling
that Arizona has to offer.

Mountain Time
A Yellowstone Memoir
Since it became the world’s first national park in 1872, Yellowstone has welcomed tourists
from all corners of the globe who returned to their hometowns and countries with reports of
this American wonderland. Stories from the park’s earliest visitors began to spread so rapidly
that by 1897 Yellowstone became solidly established as a successful tourist destination with
more than ten thousand tourists passing through its entrances.
Travelers in the park’s first years faced long, dusty, and tediously slow stagecoach trips
and could choose only between rather primitive hotels and tent camps for their overnight
accommodations. Devoured by nineteenth-century readers, many of the narratives from this
era are long forgotten today and are only gradually being recovered from historical archives.
Park historians Lee Whittlesey and Elizabeth Watry have combed thousands of firsthand
accounts, selecting nineteen tales that offer unique and engaging perspectives of visitors during
Yellowstone’s stagecoach era. From an 1873 newspaper serial that represents one of the earliest
park’s recorded trips to the 1914 “Little Journey” that popular writer Elbert Hubbard took with
his wife Alice, the chronicles included here reveal the enduring captivation that Yellowstone
held in the popular imagination, as it does today.
Lee Whittlesey is the historian for Yellowstone National Park and author of dozens of books
and articles on the history of Yellowstone, including Storytelling in Yellowstone: Horse and Buggy
Tour Guides (UNM Press). Elizabeth Watry will soon receive her MA in history from Montana
State University and is the author of Women in Wonderland. Whittlesey and Watry co-wrote
Images of America: Yellowstone National Park.

Hard Time at Tehachapi
$BMJGPSOJBT'JSTU8PNFOT1SJTPO
Kathleen Cairns
The California Institution for Women, Tehachapi, once stood in the stark and windswept
Cummings Valley, 130 miles northeast of Los Angeles. The state’s first prison for female
inmates, the facility served, between 1933 and 1952, as a “laboratory” where penologists and
reformers—mostly women—aimed to rehabilitate formerly “bad women” via a combination
of tough love, education, hard work, and recreation.
This approach drew strong support and equally strong condemnation. Throughout its
nineteen-year existence, the institution served as a political battleground. It pitted those who
viewed rehabilitating female inmates as crucial to creating strong community bonds against
critics who derided the “coddling” of hardened criminals, no matter what their gender.
The controversy ultimately doomed Tehachapi as a women’s prison, but Kathleen Cairns
argues that this failure does not negate its historical importance. The Tehachapi experiment
posed crucial questions about crime and punishment and about society’s treatment of
individuals who do not fit neatly into cultural stereotypes—questions that remain unresolved
to this day.

The Mexican Revolution could not have succeeded without the use of American territory
as a secret base of operations, a source of munitions, money, and volunteers, a refuge for
personnel, an arena for propaganda, and a market for revolutionary loot. El Paso, the largest
and most important American city on the Mexican border during this time, was the scene of
many clandestine operations as American businesses and the U.S. federal government sought
to maintain their influences in Mexico and protect national interest while keeping an eye on
key Revolutionary figures. In addition, the city served as refuge to a cast of characters that
included revolutionists, adventurers, smugglers, gunrunners, counterfeiters, propagandists,
secret agents, double agents, criminals, and confidence men.
Using 80,000 pages of previously classified FBI documents on the Mexican Revolution
and hundreds of Mexican secret agent reports from El Paso and Ciudad Juarez in the Mexican
Ministry of Foreign Relations archive, Charles Harris and Louis Sadler examine the mechanics
of rebellion in a town where factional loyalty was fragile and treachery was elevated to an art
form. As a case study, this slice of El Paso’s, and America’s, history adds new dimensions to
what is known about the Mexican Revolution.
Charles H. Harris III and Louis R. Sadler are emeritus history professors at New Mexico
State University, Las Cruces. They also collaborated on The Archaeologist was a Spy: Sylvanus
G. Morley and the Office of Naval Intelligence and The Texas Rangers and the Mexican Revolution:
The Bloodiest Decade, 1910–1920, both published by UNM Press. The latter publication won
the Western Writers of America Spur Award for Best Contemporary Historical Nonfiction and

Frank N. Schubert
“Schubert, an established authority on the black military experience on the plains frontier,
enhances his reputation and contributes to the literature with this anthology of documents
covering every aspect of the Buffalo Soldiers’ military service, their daily lives, and their
interaction with white military and civilian communities.”—Multicultural Review
“Although military historians will certainly appreciate this book, it will also appeal to
a wider audience in search of authentic western experiences. It is a welcome addition.”
—The Journal of Military History
“Voices of the Buffalo Soldier is a superb collection of documents that not only
illuminates the lives of these soldiers, but also helps us to understand the obstacles they
faced and the challenges they met. It is a valuable reference and well worth the read.”

Making World
Development Work
Scientific Alternatives

Edited by Gregoire Leclerc and
Charles A. S. Hall
Adaptive optics is the most revolutionary breakthrough in astronomy since Galileo pointed
his telescope skyward nearly four hundred years ago. It is critical technology that will enable
astronomers to answer challenging questions about the universe.
Over the last four decades, a formidable and persistent team of scientists from the Air
Force Research Laboratory, MIT/Lincoln Laboratory, and private contractors led the way in
achieving groundbreaking advances in adaptive optics. They demonstrated laser guide star
techniques and made adaptive optics practical on large telescopes. The military aggressively
pursued the development of adaptive optics for two reasons—imaging for space situational
awareness and laser weapons. A significant part of this research occurred at the Starfire Optical
Range in New Mexico and the Maui optical site in Hawai’i. The program remained classified
during the 1970s and 1980s, but the government declassified it in the early 1990s, enabling
significant technology transfer to the astronomy community.
Robert Duffner has compiled a unique history of the invention of laser guide stars and
other contributions to adaptive optics made by the Department of Defense. He had access
to a collection of primary source material housed in the offices of government scientists and
in the Research Laboratory’s archives at Kirtland Air Force Base, Albuquerque. Duffner also
interviewed seventy-one prominent scientists who played key roles advancing adaptive
optics research.
Robert W. Duffner is historian for the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Directed Energy and
Space Vehicles directorates in Albuquerque. He is the author of Airborne Laser: Bullets of Light
and Science and Technology: The Making of the Air Force Research Laboratory. Robert Q. Fugate
is an internationally recognized experimental physicist who made major contributions to the
development of laser guide stars and adaptive optics for large telescopes for the Department
of Defense. He has written numerous articles published in a variety of scientific journals and
is the former technical director of the Starfire Optical Range at Kirtland Air Force Base.

Religion as Art
(VBEBMVQF0SJTIBTBOE4Vm
Edited by Steven Loza
Steven Loza explores how the iconic aspects of religion transcend mere symbolism with
a collection of essays that examine the arts and their relationship to religious belief in
three cultural areas of the world: the Mexican mestizo belief in the Virgen de Guadalupe,
the West African Yoruba religion’s base in a divination system of orishas, and the Sufi
sect of Islam’s musical/textual practices of devotional ecstasy to God.
The essays included here were originally presented at the 2004 international
conference “Towards a Theory for Religion as Art: Guadalupe, Orishas, and Sufi,”
organized by the Arts of the Americas Institute at the University of New Mexico. While
they reflect the interdisciplinary design and dialogue of the conference, the essays also
reveal that many of the arts are conceptualized cross-culturally, ranging from visual art
and poetry to music and dance, and offer comparative studies of their relationships to
society, politics, and culture in general.
Steven Loza is professor of ethnomusicology at UCLA, adjunct professor in the
department of music, University of New Mexico, and the former director of the Arts of
the Americas Institute, UNM. His publications include Barrio Rhythm: Mexican American
Music in Los Angeles and Tito Puente and the Making of Latin Music.

News of María of Ágreda’s exceptional attributes spread from her cloistered convent in
seventeenth-century Ágreda (Spain) to the court in Madrid and beyond. Without leaving
her village, the abbess impacted the kingdom, her church, and the New World; Spanish
Hapsburg king Felipe IV sought her spiritual and political counsel for over twenty-two
years. Based upon her transcendent visionary experiences, Sor María chronicled the life of
Mary, mother of Jesus of Nazareth, in Mystical City of God, a work the Spanish Inquisition
temporarily condemned. In America, reports emerged that she had miraculously appeared
to Jumano Native Americans—a feat corroborated by witnesses in Spain, Texas, and
New Mexico, where she is honored today as the legendary “Lady in Blue.” Lauded in Spain
as one of the most influential women in its history, and in the United States as an inspiring
pioneer, Sor María’s story will appeal to cultural historians and to women who have struggled
for equality against all odds.
Marilyn Fedewa’s biography of this fascinating woman integrates voluminous
autobiographical, historical, and literary sources published by and about María of Ágreda.
With liberal access to Sor María’s papal delegate in Spain and convent archives in Ágreda,
Fedewa skillfully reconstructs a historical and spiritual backdrop against which Sor María’s
voice may be heard.
Marilyn H. Fedewa has
served as vice president of
Olivet College, Michigan,
and at the director level
within Michigan State
University’s development
office. Her publications
include numerous articles
about María of Ágreda.

New Mexico’s Crypto-Jews

Cary Herz
Essays by Ori Z. Soltes and Mona Hernandez
“[Cary] Herz’s photography book is the first visual exploration of the descendants of Jews
who fled the Iberian Peninsula during the Inquisition and traveled with Spanish colonial
settlers to what is today New Mexico. [New Mexico’s Crypto-Jews] introduces a unique
community whose Jewish identity is grounded in the Catholicism that characterizes the
traditions of the American Southwest.”—Forward.com
“[New Mexico’s Crypto-Jews] is a welcome prize. . . . The fact that Herz is a descendant
of Holocaust survivors means that she brings a rare and poignant Jewish sensitivity to
a subject that is more often examined through Hispanic lenses. . . . Concise essays and
commentaries accompany Herz’s striking photographs of modern residents of New
Mexico and Colorado who retain tatters and shards of Jewish religiosity and custom.”

“An authentic exploration of the conflation of the Virgin Mary with ancient mother
goddess figures from a rich variety of culture—Eurasian, Native American, and African.
The Black Madonna in Latin America and Europe is both scholarly and heartfelt. . . . Polylinguist Małgorzata Oleszkiewicz-Peralba . . . crosses cultures and religious traditions in
this impressive book. How the complex character of the Black Madonna relates to Our
Lady of Guadalupe, and how these icons have been co-opted and manipulated in recent
times, is a fascinating and challenging story. If there is any justice in the world, a few of
the readers who swooned over The Da Vinci Code and its evocation of the divine feminine
will find this volume impressive.”—Bloomsbury Review

The Monuments of Piedras Negras, an Ancient Maya City
Flora Simmons Clancy
Patronized by royalty between the sixth and eighth centuries, the monuments of Guatemala’s
ancient Maya city of Piedras Negras were carved by sculptors with remarkable skills and
virtuosity. Together patrons and sculptors created monumental imagery in a manner unique
within the larger history of ancient Maya art by engaging public viewers through illustrations
of ceremonies focusing on family and the feminine in royal agendas.
Flora Clancy’s introduction contextualizes her work with other studies and lays out her
methodological framework. She then discusses the known monuments of the city sequentially
by reigns. Individual rulers are characterized by a biography drawn from the hieroglyphic texts
and the icons or imagery of their monuments are analyzed and discussed.
Although the monuments of Piedras Negras are acknowledged as social, political, and
cultural productions, Clancy also treats them as works of art that at their best operate on
transcendent levels dissolving and overruling the contingencies of history and cultural
differences.
Flora Simmons Clancy is professor emerita of art history at the University of New Mexico.
She is a highly respected scholar in Maya art and iconography whose research has focused on
Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico. She is the author of Sculpture in the Ancient Maya Plaza.

Breaking Through
Mexico’s Past
Digging the Aztecs with
Eduardo Matos Moctezuma
Alice Dixon (1851–1910) was born into a comfortable middle class life in London that she
eagerly left behind to travel to Yucatán as the young bride of Maya archaeologist Augustus
Le Plongeon. Working side by side as photographers and archaeologists, the Le Plongeons
were the first to excavate and systematically photograph the Maya sites of Chichén Itzá and
Uxmal. After spending eleven years in the field, she devoted the rest of her life to lecturing
and published books and articles on a wide range of topics, including her exploration of
Maya civilization, political activism and social justice, and epic poetry.
Alice’s papers became public in 1999 and included photographs, unpublished
manuscripts, correspondence, and a handwritten diary; over two thousand of her prints
and negatives survive today in public and private collections. Combined with Lawrence
Desmond’s biography of this remarkable woman’s life, her diary offers readers a rare glimpse
of life in the Yucatán peninsula during the final quarter of the nineteenth century, and
an insider’s view of fieldwork just prior to the emergence of Mesoamerican archaeology
as a professional discipline.
Lawrence Gustave Desmond is senior research fellow in archaeology with the Moses
Mesoamerican Archive and Research Project at Harvard University, and a research associate
with the department of anthropology at the California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco.
He is the coauthor of A Dream of Maya, a look at the life and archaeology of the early Mayanist
Augustus Le Plongeon. Claire L. Lyons is curator of antiquities at the J. Paul Getty Museum.
Since 1999 she has been a research associate at the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology, UCLA.

Speak Like Singing

Kenneth Lincoln
Speak Like Singing focuses on select Native American writers showcasing their distinct
voices and tribal diversities. Through the pan-tribal medium of English, many of these
Native writers began as poets and went on to write novels. Pulitzer novelist and Kiowa
poet N. Scott Momaday says, “I believe that a good many Indian writers rely upon a kind
of poetic expression out of necessity, a necessary homage to the native tradition.”
“Scholar, novelist, and essayist Ken Lincoln blends his fierce cultural commitments
and propulsive, lyrical prose in page after page of this passionate yet reference-rich book,
persuading us that native dream songs, ritual liturgies, trickster narratives, and modern
novels deserve to sit at every table of American literature.”—Peter Nabokov, author of
Native American Testimony and Where Lightning Strikes
“Lincoln is that rarity among literary critics, a paragon of empathy and generosity;
he immerses himself, he rejoices in it. The proof lies in the burn and torsion of his prose
that heartens his intelligence and extraordinary learning.”—Cal Bedient, author of Eight
Contemporary Poets
“Well researched and well written, this book offers an important contextual analysis
of each writer. Recommended.”—Choice
Adopted into the Oglala Sioux by the
Mark Monroe family in his western
Nebraska hometown, Kenneth Lincoln
is professor of literature at the University
of California, Los Angeles. He has
written six books in American Indian
studies, including Native American
Renaissance, The Good Red Road, Indi’n
Humor, Sing with the Heart of a Bear, and
White Boyz Blues.

Simon J. Ortiz is widely regarded as one of the literary giants of the twentieth and twenty-first
centuries with more than two dozen volumes of poetry, prose fiction, children’s literature, and
nonfiction work to his credit and his being anthologized around the world. This edited volume
is devoted to the depth and range of Ortiz’s contribution to contemporary Native American
literature and literary scholarship.
Including interviews with Ortiz, short creative nonfiction essays by Native women writers
and scholars, and innovative critical discussions by a dozen scholars of Native literatures, the
volume shows his role in the development of cultural studies and Native American literatures
on a number of fronts, garnering tribal, regional, national, hemispheric, and global levels of
awareness and appreciation. The range of scholarship herein sheds light on the larger historical,
cultural, and political factors that have shaped Native writing over the last four decades.
This volume reveals the insights and aesthetics of Ortiz’s indigenous lens, which provides
invaluable contributions to literary studies that turn to the postcolonial, the ecocritical, the
globally indigenous and comparative as indigenous geographies of belonging are found to
inform an aesthetics of inclusion and authenticity.
Susan Berry Brill de Ramírez, Caterpillar Inc. Professor of English at Bradley University,
is the author of Native American Life-History Narratives: Colonial and Postcolonial Navajo
Ethnography (UNM Press), Contemporary American Indian Literatures and the Oral Tradition,
and Wittgenstein and Critical Theory. Evelina Zuni Lucero (Isleta/Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo) is

Behind the Paint
Ken O’Neil
Ken O’Neil left the security of a life as an engineer and entrepreneur in the halcyon years
of California’s Silicon Valley to follow his bliss and pursue a career as a painter and writer.
If you have ever wondered how an artist conceives an abstract painting, this book takes you
on one artist’s journey. From written notes in journals, gathered over more than forty years
of world travel in places both familiar and remote, Ken O’Neil built the foundation of his art.
In this book the reader can travel with him and observe the transformation from notes to
a painting.
“What impresses me most, upon seeing Ken O’Neil’s monotypes, is their inspired ability
to engage the mind and transport the spirit. His expression of elegant ideas, borne through the
medium of monotype printmaking, requires the creation of explicit syntax within an expansive
language. Ken O’Neil not only forged his unique visual language; he mastered it, and has
raised it up to poetry.”—Michael Castillo, owner and masterprinter, Hand Graphics, Santa Fe,
New Mexico
“Ken O’Neil is a student of his own journal, at once the best and worst teacher.”—Larry
Bell, Taos, New Mexico
“[Ken’s] art and the profound memories that he shares are one: as with his work, as with
his whole life.”—Sam Scott, Santa Fe

Jay Udall’s poems reflect his individual—as well as the common experience of—personal
awakening. This collection of insightful poems evokes images and memories of the places,
environments, and culture through which Udall has traveled during his lifetime. His poems
cross personal boundaries to express universal concepts of painful self-realization and the
acceptance of a beautiful, yet harsh world. However, the world he describes is not just his
own. He fantastically ventures into the skin of lions, mice, and cicadas, creating poignant
metaphors of the human condition.
The beauty of his work is that Udall finds personal connections and insight in the most
seemingly mundane experiences of life as well as the most traumatic and extreme events.
These coalesce to create an arena for us to think about our own life-realizations while joining
Udall on his journey.
Jay Udall’s poems and short stories have appeared in more than seventy-five publications,
including literary journals, magazines, newspapers, and anthologies. He is the author of four
previous books of poetry: Learning the Language, First Identity, Home in the Dark, and Another
Anatomy. He teaches at the University of Nevada and lives in Reno with his wife and young
daughter. V. B. Price, the Mary Burritt Christiansen Poetry Series editor, is the recipient of
the Arts Alliance Bravo Award for Excellence in Literary Arts, the Erna Fergusson Award for
Outstanding Achievement from the Alumni Association of the University of New Mexico,
and the ACLU-NM First Amendment Award. He is the author or editor of numerous books
including Broken and Reset from UNM Press.
To Weeds
Rising through cracks, through seams
between asphalt, concrete, thoughts,
invading pure beds, taking vacant lots
with your coarse leaves, prickling stalks, cursed
blossoms, roots of wire, Hydra’s heads
multiplying in the mothering dark;
rising with wolf spiders, black mamba snakes,
three-armed babies, lava, earthquakes—
wild messengers, emissaries of chaos,
rise through my clocks, names, deaths, eyes.

*EBIP1PFNTo
Charles Potts
The legendary poet Charles Potts, born in Idaho Falls in 1943 and educated at Idaho State
University, returned to his Idaho roots in two books of poetry, 100 Years in Idaho in 1996 and
Lost River Mountain in 1999. These books concentrate on the physical and human geography
of his family’s habitation on the land. The present volume includes two sections taken from
these works and three later sections, “Lullaby of the Lochsa,” “Sunburnt Romantic,” and finally
“Wild Horse,” written after his wife’s death in a tragic accident in 2004. In the completed
work, Potts’s meditation on family and geographical memory comes full circle. Observant,
scrupulous, passionate, and courageous, he describes his life as it embraces the lives and
events that came before it.
Charles Potts emerged as a counter-culture poet in Berkeley in 1968, challenging the
liberal consensus of his day in his volume Little Lord Shiva (1968) and calling for a poetry of
intellectual precision. While continuing his poetic production, Potts documented his Berkeley
experience in the two-volume prose account Valga Krusa (1977), written in Salt Lake City. He
moved to Walla Walla, Washington in 1978, where he continued to study the relationship
between language, causality, and politics. West End Press produced a selection of his writings,
The Portable Potts, in 2005. This is his thirtieth published volume.

These poems, written in the last decade of Paula Gunn Allen’s life and the first years of the
new century, capture the variety, ingenuity, and complexity of this beloved and influential
Native American critic and poet. In the lexicon of Paula Gunn Allen, what makes America
beautiful may come as a surprise: its horrors confront its hopefulness; its absurdities challenge
its promise. A powerful, sustained lyrical and narrative sequence written in the midst of
political and personal catastrophe (the second U.S. invasion of Iraq, a disastrous home fire,
her own battle with lung cancer), Allen’s last book of poems is at once a bonfire made up
of the ruins of civilization, a call for one more effort to set things right, and a gift to us all
from this fertile and generous writer.
Paula Gunn Allen, Laguna Pueblo/Sioux/Scots/Lebanese poet, philosopher, scholar, and
teacher, was born in Cubero, New Mexico, in 1939. She received her doctorate from the
University of New Mexico in 1976; her dissertation evolved into a major work of cultural
criticism, The Sacred Hoop: Recovering the Feminine in American Indian Traditions. Two volumes
of her poetry, Skins and Bones and Life Is a Fatal Disease, were published by West End Press.
She completed the manuscript for this book a week before her death on May 29, 2008 in
Fort Bragg, California.

Odes to Anger
Jason Yurcic
These poems reveal the heart of a survivor. In the title section, the poet, caught in
“the unspoken language of pain,” escapes his beginnings only to find that the culture
of violence has followed him. In the second section, “Meditations on Breath,” he charts
his journey to survival. In the last section, “Walking into My Mind,” he contrasts the
backbreaking manual labor of his day job with his real work, “to write/Love/Hold
my children while rocking them to sleep/Children of the flesh/Children of the word.”
V. B. Price has written of Yurcic’s work, “Anyone who has been saved by writing . . .
will feel a heartening kinship with these startlingly honest and beautiful poems.”
Jason Yurcic was born in Santa Fe while his father was in prison. Soon after his release,
his father was brutally murdered in a street fight. Yurcic grew up in Albuquerque with
his grandfather, avoided a threatened jail sentence, and became a professional boxer
at age twenty-three. Jimmy Santiago Baca helped mentor him in the writing of poetry.
Currently, Jason conducts poetry workshops for prisons, schools, and colleges. His first
play, The Little Ghost, was staged in June 2008 at the Santa Fe Performing Arts Center.

Jeanetta Calhoun Mish
Both homespun and sophisticated, this book of poems and family memories carries a
bite: the author is an Oklahoma woman with a history of hard traveling and a feminist
intellectual with a formidable critical vocabulary. She writes in a language of solidarity,
affirmation, and love. The story of the daughter who left home, traveled the country,
and returned to do her family proud is still worth telling: add to that the heartbreak,
lustiness, traditional wisdom, Okie determination, and Indian legacy of these poems
and you have quite a bundle. The historic family photographs are breathtaking in
their own right: beyond any job of archaeology, they speak the world they portray.
The author’s grandfather, Luther Leland “Luke”
Sanderson, at one of his many jobs.
Jeanetta Calhoun Mish is a native Oklahoman who returned home after twenty
years to complete her PhD in American Literature and grow good tomatoes. Her prizewinning chapbook Tongue Tied Woman appeared in 2002, and she has published
recently in poetry magazines and anthologies as well as LABOR: Studies in Working

Colorado Abstract examines the establishment of abstraction in the art of Colorado during
the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
For this groundbreaking study, Michael Paglia and Mary Voelz Chandler begin with the
first generation of artists active in the 1930s and conclude with the modernists of the 1970s
and 80s. Paglia focuses on the history of abstraction in Colorado, and Chandler’s essays
document the artistic development and vision of more than fifty contemporary artists who
are creating abstract paintings and sculptures today.
Michael Paglia’s art column appears in Westword (Denver) and his writings have been
included in Art News, Architecture, Modernism, Where Colorado, and American Contemporary
Art. He is author of Landscapes of Colorado (with Ann Scarlett Daley), published by Fresco
Fine Art Publications, and contributor to Decades of Influence/Extended Remix. Mary Voelz
Chandler, art and architecture critic for the Rocky Mountain News (Denver), moved to
Colorado in 1984 following a career as an arts editor for The Miami Herald. She is the author
of A Guide to Denver Architecture. Hugh Grant established the Kirkland Foundation in 1996
to research, acquire, rediscover, and preserve the history of Colorado art. He has collected the
works of over 170 Colorado artists who were active from 1880 to 1980. Director and curator
of the Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative Art in Denver, Grant is adjunct curator of
the Kirkland Collection at the Denver Art Museum.

Gila Descending
"4PVUIXFTUFSO+PVSOFZ
M. H. Salmon
Herein is the remarkable story of a 200-mile wilderness journey down the Gila River of New
Mexico and Arizona. Traveling partly on foot, mostly by canoe, the author was accompanied
by a hound dog and a tomcat. His trip is replete with whitewater thrills, and angling for trout,
bass, and catfish; ruminations on the wilderness ethic, and the antics of two companions who
promote humor, exasperation, and love. But besides being a modern-day excursion into the
natural world, Gila Descending is a personal odyssey as well; and little by little that story, too,
is told.
“Gila
Gila Descending is a joy to read. M. H. Salmon and his feisty animal co-pilots have enough
chutzpah to keep us laughing; enough literary audacity to delight and educate; and enough
love of land, water, and wilderness to stir the most hardened conscience.”—John Nichols
“. . . a delightful book. No reader could ask for a finer river to read about than the Gila,
or a better companion to explore it with than M. H. Salmon. May the Government (ugh!) and
God (we hope) long preserve them both.”—Edward Abbey
“As you join the author—and his coyote hound and tomcat—on a float trip down the
Gila, you will find a unique companion: a hunter with an informed environmental conscience;
a fisherman with the sense to know that catfish are as good as trout; a wry observer whose
prose owes more to local speech and the elegant essays of Aldo Leopold than to the hightech fodder in the yuppie monthlies. Above all, he is a passionate and original defender of
wilderness with its hair on.”—Steve Bodio, “Bodio’s Review,” Gray’s Sporting Journal
M. H. Salmon is publisher of High-Lonesome Books and the author of ¡Gila Libre! (UNM
Press). He lives near Silver City, New Mexico.

Butterfly Landscapes of New Mexico
Text and Photographs by Steven J. Cary
Butterfly Landscapes of New Mexico breaks new ground by
organizing butterflies around elements of landscape and
habitat. This useful book helps butterfly lovers find the more
than three hundred kinds of butterflies scattered in our state’s
diverse landscape.
Steven Cary reveals New Mexico butterflies as expressions
of local topography, climate, and plants. His vivid photographs
and informative text first portray butterflies within a region and
then in progressively smaller components of landscape.
Cary’s perspective is intimate and imaginative. A handy
companion in the field or the living room, this book appeals
to butterfly enthusiasts and others eager to learn about the
state’s remarkable array of butterflies.
Steven J. Cary is the chief naturalist for New Mexico State Parks. He has observed, studied, and photographed New Mexico
butterflies for more than twenty-five years and frequently gives butterfly walks and lectures.

The Lipan Apaches
1FPQMFPG8JOEBOE-JHIUOJOH
Thomas A. Britten
Despite the significant role they have played in Texas history for nearly four hundred years,
the Lipan Apaches remain among the least studied and least understood tribal groups in
the West. Considered by Spaniards of the eighteenth century to be the greatest threat to
the development of New Spain’s northern frontier, the Lipans were viewed as a similar risk
to the interests of nineteenth-century Mexico, Texas, and the United States. Direct attempts
to dissolve them as a tribal unit began during the Spanish period and continued with the
establishment of the Republic of Texas in 1836. From their homeland in south Texas, Lipan
migratory hunter-gatherer bands waged a desperate struggle to maintain their social and
cultural traditions amidst numerous Indian and non-Indian enemies. Government officials,
meanwhile, perceived them as a potential danger to the settlement and economic development
of the Rio Grande frontier. Forced removal from their traditional homelands diminished their
ability to defend themselves and, as they attached themselves to the Mescalero Apaches and
the Tonkawas, the Lipans faded from written history in 1884.
Thomas Britten has scoured U.S. and Mexican archives in order to piece together
the tangled tribal history of these adaptable people, emphasizing the cultural change
that coincided with the various migrations and pressures they faced. The result is an
interdisciplinary study of the Lipan Apaches that focuses on their history and culture, their
relationships with a wide range of Indian and non-Indian peoples, and their responses to the
various crises and burdens that seemed to follow them wherever they went.
Thomas A. Britten is assistant professor of history at the University of Texas, Brownsville.
He is the author of American Indians in World War One and A Brief History of the SeminoleNegro Indian Scouts.

Robbed and beaten by outlaws, stagecoach guard James Colton vows justice and recovery
of his grandfather’s watch. Determined to find his heirloom, James hunts the outlaws, only
to face an immoral sheriff who gives him no choice but to shoot. Charged with his murder,
James’s solitary hope is to get the bandits to confess to the sheriff’s villainy. With older brother
Trace along to help, James tracks the outlaws into Mexico. But after Trace is gravely wounded,
James is ambushed by lawmen as he tries to take his brother across the border. The hangman’s
noose seems closer than ever. Will James prove his innocence?
It’s 1860 southern New Mexico. Border Ambush exposes the American Southwest for what
it really was—rough, tough, and brutal.
“Melody Groves has created a couple of characters, James and Trace Colton, that you’ll
really care about. She spins a Western story that reads like a Western should—full of hairraising adventures and some really bad villains.”—Bill Pinnell, author of Terror on the Border
Melody Groves, a New Mexico native, writes about the West with real authority.
A freelance writer, she is also a New Mexico Gunfighter who reenacts Old West “shootouts” in Albuquerque’s Old Town.

Model Interstate Water Compact
Jerome C. Muys, George William Sherk, and Marilyn C. O’Leary
Over the last two decades, there has been a significant increase in bitter struggles over
the supervision of interstate water systems throughout the country. The resulting legal
actions have been of increasing concern to the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and
Natural Resources, chaired by New Mexico Senator Pete Domenici. In 2000, as a result
of Senator Domenici’s efforts, the University of New Mexico Law School received funding
for the Utton Transboundary Resources Center to draft an interstate water compact to
address these disputes.
Conferences conducted at the Center brought together lawyers and scientists from
across the nation to discuss and offer insights into the complex water issues. The result is
the Model Interstate Water Compact, which encourages states to assume oversight of transboundary resources, especially water, avoiding the inefficiency and expense of legal action.
In addition to the authors’ proposed model, there is a complete cross-referenced listing
of existing interstate water compacts in the appendix.
Jerome C. Muys is president of Muys & Associates, P.C. in Washington, D.C. Muys is past
chairman of the American Bar Association’s section of Energy, Environment and Resources
Law. He has most recently served as a consultant to the Texas state Attorney General regarding
interstate issues on the Rio Grande. George William Sherk is an associate research professor
in the Environmental Science and Engineering Division of the Colorado School of Mines,
Golden, and an adjunct professor at the University of Denver College of Law. Sherk also
maintains a limited private practice and consults on international water law and policy issues.
Marilyn C. O’Leary is director emeritus of the Utton Transboundary Resources Center in
the University of New Mexico College of Law. She is the author of Negotiating Rate Cases
and Other Difficulties and coauthor of Pueblo Indian Water Rights.

Crime has played a complicated role in the history of human social relations. Public narratives
about murders, insanity, kidnappings, assassinations, and infanticide attempt to make sense
of the social, economic, and cultural realities of ordinary people at different periods in history.
Such stories also shape the ways historians write about society and offer valuable insight into
aspects of life that more conventional accounts have neglected, misunderstood, or ignored
altogether.
This edited volume focuses on Mexico’s social and cultural history through the lens of
celebrated cases of social deviance from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Each
essay centers on a different crime story and explores the documentary record of each case in
order to reconstruct the ways in which they helped shape Mexican society’s views of itself and
of its criminals.
Robert Buf ngton is associate professor of women and gender studies at the University of
Colorado, Boulder. He is the author of Criminal and Citizen in Modern Mexico. Pablo Piccato
is associate professor of history at Columbia University. He is the author of City of Suspects:

Developing Zapatista Autonomy
$POnJDUBOE/(0*OWPMWFNFOUJO3FCFM$IJBQBT
Niels Barmeyer
Since the 1994 Zapatista uprising in the southernmost Mexican state of Chiapas, the indigenous population has seen a lot of
changes. These have been particularly salient with regard to nongovernmental (NGO) development projects that have provided
marginalized communities with social and economic infrastructure that operate independently from the Mexican state. NGOs
and solidarity groups continue to play an increasingly important role in helping these communities strengthen their autonomy
in the regions controlled by the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN).
Niels Barmeyer devoted time in Chiapas in the mid-1990s as a human
rights activist and later as an NGO volunteer and PhD researcher. Based on these
experiences, he provides an in-depth analysis of the advances and limitations of the
Zapatista autonomy project over the past fourteen years. Barmeyer’s study includes
personal histories of indigenous people and international activists from four rebel
communities who are involved in NGO development projects. Their stories of
clandestine organization, land occupation, raising money and support, and internal
disagreements offer a range of perspectives.
Niels Barmeyer first went to Chiapas to work as a human rights observer in
indigenous villages affiliated with the EZLN guerilla movement in 1996 and has
since returned to Zapatista territory many times. He currently lives in Oaxaca,
Mexico, where he works with an indigenous grassroots-organization.
