Summary: First published in 1951, Shamanism soon became the standard work in the study of this mysterious and fascinating phenomenon. Writing as the founder of the modern study of the history of religion, Romanian émigré--scholar Mircea Eliade (1907-1986) surveys the practice of Shamanism over two and a half millennia of human history, moving from the Shamanic traditions of Siberia and Central Asia--where Shamanism was first observed--to North and South America, Indonesia, Tibet, China, and beyond. In this authoritative survey, Eliade illuminates the magico-religious life of societies that give primacy of place to the figure of the Shaman--at once magician and medicine man, healer and miracle-doer, priest, mystic, and poet. Synthesizing the approaches of psychology, sociology, and ethnology, Shamanism will remain for years to come the reference book of choice for those intrigued by this practice.

Dewey: 301.2
Date Added: 13 Apr 2009
Comments: Ralph Beals was born in Pasadena, California on July 19, 1901. He was the son of Leon Eli and Elvina (Blickensderfer) Beals. His interest in anthropology began at an early age. In high school, he made a trip to Mexico that sparked his interest in Latin American cultures. He graduated from the University of California in 1926 with a Ph.D. in Anthropology. He was married to Dorothy Manchester and they had four children including Ralph Carleton, Alan, Genevieve (deceased) and Marianna. In 1936, he became the first anthropologist at University of California, Los Angeles. In 1950 he became President of the American Anthropological Association. From 1955 to 1956, he served on the Pacific Coast Council on Latin American Studies, and in 1958 he became President of the Southwestern Anthropological Association. He spent the majority of his professional career teaching in California.
Ralph Beals made great contributions to the studies of Anthropology and Sociology. His main theoretical interest was the warfare of native peoples. Beals wrote his comparative ethnography of northern Mexico, his monographs of the Cahita, and finally his study of Mexican culture from a Native American's point of view, a work that was never finished.
Beals retired from his illustrious teaching career in 1969 and received an honorary Doctorate of Law in 1970. Ralph Beals died in 1985. Throughout his life he had many accomplishments, awards, and writings. He prepared the first version of the Beals and Hoijer textbook, An Introduction to Anthropology, that was used for almost two decades.

Summary: This mammoth volume (over 670 pages) truly is the Indians' own book. Natalie Curtis served as collector, editor, and arranger. The elegant and eloquent simplicity of the tales give testimony that these are the Native American's own words. Not only that, but since it was first published in 1905, these are the memories of chiefs, elders, and holy men that still remembered the old days and the old ways. Plus, the marvelous illustrations were all done by tribe members (except for the photographs) and really contribute to the overall magic of the whole. The songs are all authentic and are given in both English and the original tribal languages (with pronunciation guides.) While not a comprehensive reference of all the tribes it does give a good range of peoples from the eastern coast, northern woodlands, plains, southwest, and pacific coast. The tribes included are: Wabanaki, Dakota, Pawnee, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Kiowa, Winnebago, Kwakiutl, Pima, Apache, Mohave-Apache, Yuma, Navaho, Zuni, San Juan, Acoma, Laguna, and Hopi. This book is a great monument to all the peoples and their respective ways of life. It is proof that the social engineers and bureaucrats did not kill the spirit and culture of the rightful caretakers of this land. As long as such a book exists the way back to the old, centered way of living can be backtracked. This is a moving book. Even Theodore Roosevelt was moved by the "depth and dignity" of Indian thought.

Dewey: 305.4
Date Added: 13 Apr 2009
Comments: Covers experiences over four centuries and around the world by women from kitchen helpers to ambassadors’ wives. This is a collection of commentaries by 100 women pioneers dating from the early 17th century through the early 20th century. The sources are letters, diaries, journals, and published accounts, over half of them from North America and the rest from Africa, Australia, Asia, and India. The idea is to give the flavor of the pioneer experience by offering the actual writings of pioneer women. The excerpts are grouped into chapters reflecting topics of daily life, e.g., "First Impressions," "Settling In," "Matters Domestic," and "Danger and Desperation." They are presented with little regard for time or place, however; thus, a note from Nigeria in 1908 is positioned next to one from Australia in 1852, while an 1837 entry from New South Wales comes just after one from Egypt in 1875. This fluttering about gives the book a disjointed quality. Interesting in a casual way, the selections can be read as pieces of little stories, not as representations of culture or time. Recommended for larger public libraries. -Bonnie Collier, Yale Law Lib., New Haven, CT Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc

Its gradual extermination is chronicled by E. Douglas Branch, who drew on rich materials, including Indian legends, old letters and diaries, and tales of frontier travelers. No one has ever written more memorably about the great herds, their habits and haunts, their importance to the Indians, their discovery by awed whites, their decimation by huge cultural and economic forces.

She has a natural empathy for these stories of the Santa Fe country and the people who tell them. That is why she tells them well. These marvelous legends bring to life the brick and mortar of New Mexico and stir the imagination.' So said Loraine Cleaveland Lavender of these stories, which Alice Bullock spent almost three years collecting and recording, thus saving many of them for posterity.

Comments: There are two important statements in this press blurb: "The author romanticized the legends he found and has given them his personal interpretation." "In no way are these stories meant to be factual or exact translations of Native American oral traditions."
Summary: The 170 legends are listed by state, which are grouped into four parts: "The New England States," "The Central & Southern Atlantic States," "The Mississippi Valley States" and "Western Mountain States."
Oddly enough, the contents begin with an "Introduction," but there is not one in the book. It would have been interesting to read the author's thoughts about his collection.
I want to make it perfectly clear that this is a great book, especially when used for its only viable purpose -- to examine the mindset of the 1920s and the attitudes toward Native Americans. It is an interesting and vibrantly entertaining read. The artwork, far past being mere illustrations, is an optical feast that will enchant you. It is easy to become caught up in the art and lose all track of time.
However, I must point out that many of these legends have absolutely nothing to do with Native Americans. When did "Mary's Little Lamb," "The Ghost of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle" become Native American legends?

Summary: I had no idea that Joseph Cornell had written a book for children. This is a rare find. (It ranks up there with Robert Walser's little-known treatise on horse-grooming, or Arthur Brand's book of stock quotes.) There are stories here of hope and joy. You really get a sense of Cornell's engagement with a visionary romanticism when he encourages the reader to "let the child see into the world of nature, for there they will find a balm for their sorrows, a calm for their heart, and a palm against time." Cornell filled his boxes with the doodads of youth, and it's wonderful to find him speaking to children without any form of mediation. A must.

Summary: Each year over 2 million visitors to New Mexico’s Sandia Mountains enjoy more than 100 miles of trails, hiking, climbing, running, biking, skiing, and birding, as well as viewing the mountains from hang gliders and hot air balloons. This guide will assist visitors in discovering the diverse natural features of the Sandias. Field Guide to the Sandia Mountains includes sections on ecology, including weather and fire, geology, flora (grasses, flowers, trees) and fauna (arthropods, reptiles and amphibians, birds, mammals), and recreational opportunities. Plant keys and fauna checklists add to the book’s features. Rather than a comprehensive field guide, the selections offer the most commonly encountered species in each category, presenting information on just over 100 species of flowers, for example, among almost 500 species that can be found in the mountains. A labor of love conceived by the Sandia Ranger District and the New Mexico Friends of the Forest (now known as Friends of the Sandia Mountains), this book is a resource no visitor to the Sandias should be without.

Summary: New Mexico gardeners have long needed this book—a careful guide to the trees, shrubs, ground covers, and smaller plants that thrive in the state's many life zones and climates. In a state where the altitude varies from 3,000 feet above sea level at Carlsbad, to 13,000 feet at Mount Wheeler near Taos, where the annual rainfall is anywhere from 7 inches at White Sands to 30 inches in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, where the soil is loose and gravelly, or thick and hard, or dark and rich, this guide, organized by regions and specific cities, will be especially useful. It also includes information on adjacent areas in Colorado and Arizona and on El Paso. In addition to the top hundred-plus species for each location, the author provides suggestions for more adventurous gardeners and information on historic landscapes around the state. He also points out a favorite well-planned and well-maintained garden or landscape that is open to the public in each community. A landscape architect in Albuquerque for twenty-five years, Baker Morrow is intimately acquainted with how things grow in New Mexico. He is also generous in sharing his personal preferences. He mentions the species he likes "for their toughness, adaptability, and sturdy beauty in a difficult climate," and also the ones he admires for "their cheerfulness and their ability to grace our lives with shade, with helpful protection from the wind, and an endless series of wonderful colors." With many hundreds of native and exotic species readily available, no New Mexico gardener can afford to be without this book.

Summary: Never mind how the West was won; this pictorial history of how it was sold is far more interesting. Harvey, who emigrated from England at 15 and started out as a dishwasher, created the first chain of restaurants and railroad hotels in the U.S.--which his heirs expanded into a virtual empire. A person traveling from Chicago to California could stop at Harvey's flagship hotel in Albuquerque and have a complete Southwestern cultural experience without ever leaving the hotel--or so the sales pitch went. All told, a beautifully illustrated, down-to-earth chronicle of how Native America's culture was bastardized for a buck.

Summary: This comprehensive view of carvings and paintings on stone by Native Americans from 200 B.C. through the nineteenth century surveys the rock art of Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, northern Mexico, and west Texas, providing an incomparable visual record of Southwest Indian culture, religion, and society. Rock carvings and paintings are important sources in the archaeological and historical interpretation of Southwest Indians. Rock art reflects the cosmic and mythic orientation of the culture that produced it, and understanding of prehistoric peoples, both hunters and gatherers and the Hohokam, Anasazi, Mogollon, and Fremont cultures, and the Pueblo, Navajo, and Apache Indians. Culturally significant events such as the shift in prehistoric times from spear and atlatl to the bow, or, in the historic period, the introduction of the horse into the Southwest, are recorded in rock art. The illustrations--thirty-two color plates, nearly 250 photographs, and numerous line drawings--bring together in one volume petroglyphs and rock paintings that are scattered over thousands of miles of desert and mesa, giving the reader an overview of Indian rock art that would be nearly impossible to achieve in the field. "Indian Rock Art of the Southwest" examines from an archaeological perspective the rich legacy of stone drawings and carvings preserved throughout the Southwest. Professional and amateur archaeologists and historians, as well as the general reader with an interest in Indian art, will find this volume a valuable resource.

Summary: Relative to his work for the state of New Mexico as a water resource geologist, Slifer sees that "one of the principal ideas conveyed by rock art is a sense of place in the landscape...the creation of people who knew intimately their surroundings...they were keenly aware of territory since they walked everywhere; they knew which way the water ran because it was a life-sustaining element." The book includes descriptions of more than a hundred rock art sites in the region beginning near the headwaters of the Rio Grande in Colorado and progressing downstream through New Mexico to south of El Paso, Texas, with more than 300 illustrations, selected not only to represent the various styles, but to be visually interesting and when possible, not previously published. Some relatively unknown sites are presented from more than a decade of fieldwork in the region. Drawings are used when the rock art is so deteriorated that it doesn't photographs well. It begins with background information on the land and its people, progresses to a discussion of rock art styles, then goes to specific sites, first in the Ancestral Pueblo area, then the Mogollon. The last chapter is about public sites, for those who have no local informants to lead them to lesser known ones. As would be expected, throughout the book Slifer ties the rock art to the landscape, as well as the culture. This is a thoroughly researched, well-written, gracefully presented book, a must-have guide to the region for anyone interested in its rock art.

Summary: PREFACE
In 1975 the Museum of Albuquerque and the Albuquerque Archaeological Society prepared an exhibit featuring pottery made in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, largely prior to the Spanish conquest. The principal objective of the exhibit was to display the artistry and craftsmanship of the prehistoric potters. The first edition of this booklet, Prehispanic Pueblo Pottery was prepared in order to provide a deeper appreciation of the exhibit. It discussed the art, manufacturing techniques and interrelationships between the different pottery types and styles.
However, in addition to its use as an exhibit guide, the full photographic coverage of the vessels allowed the booklet to become an independent tool for understanding how pottery styles and designs evolved over time. Although the publication has been out-of-print for several years, continued interest in the booklet led the Albuquerque Archaeological Society Board to authorized the publication of a Second Edition containing a few editorial revisions and a larger format.
The text follows a theme of pottery Family Tree evolution defined by time, region and cultural ties. Although various versions of such trees have been espoused, full agreement has not been achieved. In fact, some archaeologists will argue that the use of biological evolutionary models such as Family Trees is inappropriate when considering pottery evolution. Nevertheless, this type of chart serves a useful purpose, and the example presented in the Introduction acts as a reference for text discussions.
The vessels displayed in the original exhibit were principally from the Museum's permanent collections, the collections of Frank and Francis Vernon, William and Dolores Sundt, Richard and Kitty Renwick, and the Maxwell Museum.
Members of the Albuquerque Archaeological Society aided the Museum Staff in the design and preparation of the exhibit. William M. Sundt coordinated the choice of the examples to be presented and identified the pottery types, while Tracy Green was responsible for the photography. Margaret F. Bice provided support in editing the manuscript. Richard A. Bice

Summary: A distinguished scholar of Southwestern Native arts for over thirty years, J. J. Brody here returns to his early work on the Mimbres ceramic tradition, which established him as the leading authority on the arts of this ancient people. The Mimbres cultural florescence between A.D. 1000 and A.D. 1140 remains one of the most visually astonishing and anthropologically intriguing questions in Southwest prehistory. In this revised edition, Dr. Brody incorporates the extensive fieldwork done on Mimbres sites since the original publication in 1977, updating his discussion of village life, the larger world in which the Mimbres people lived, and how the art that they practiced illuminates these wider issues. He addresses human and animal iconography, the importance of perspective and motion in perceiving Mimbres artistry, and the technology used to produce the ceramics. Placing the study of ancient art and artifacts in the present, he notes the impact of the antiquities market on archaeological and artistic research. This lively, engaging work will interest archaeologists, art historians, and all people who enjoy the beauty, humor, and humanity of Mimbres pottery. Featuring over one hundred new illustrations and insights drawn from a lifetime of study and contemplation, this is much more than a revised edition – indeed, it establishes a new standard for the artistic interpretation of a classic Southwestern culture for the new century.

Summary: Working without the use of the potter's wheel, the Pueblo Indians in the American Southwest created beautiful ceramic ware for both utilitarian and ceremonial use. A classic in the field, this book is the first comprehensive account of historic Pueblo pottery, and results from years of study by Larry Frank, an authority on this and other North American Art Forms, and lengthy technical research by Francis Harlow, an internationally known scientist. Illustrating the text are dozens of superb photographs by Bernard Lopez. With nearly two hundred examples, the authors appraise the aesthetic value of Pueblo pottery as rivaling that of any ware made by Neolithic societies, whether in America, Europe, the East of Africa. This book captures that beauty and informs the reader.

Summary: A new tradition of Pueblo fine art painting arose in the first three decades of the twentieth century, born out of a dynamic encounter between the Pueblo and Euro-American communities in and around Santa Fe, New Mexico. In Pueblo Indian Painting, art historian J. J. Brody presents the first complete history of this vibrant art and places it squarely within the contexts of Pueblo culture and Euro-American modernism, bringing long-overdue recognition to the tradition and its preeminent practitioners as a vital part of American art history.

Summary: Anthropologist Alice C. Fletcher (1838–1923) was a pioneer in the study of Indian music. Originally published in 1900, "Indian Story and Song from North America" came out of her fieldwork and friendship with the Omahas (among whom she lived), Poncas, Arapahoes, and other tribes. Fletcher provides the stories behind these songs and the scores for authentic Indian melodies in native language (which is also translated into English). They run the gamut of experience, from making war to making love. Fletcher writes: “Universal use of music was because of the belief that it was a medium of communication between man and the unseen. The invisible voice could reach the invisible power that permeates all nature, animating all natural forms. As success depended upon help from this mysterious power, in every avocation, in every undertaking, and in every ceremonial, the Indian appealed to this power through song.” When hunting, he sang to insure the aid of the unseen power in capturing game. When confronting danger and death, he sang for strength to meet his fate unflinchingly. In using herbs to heal, the men and women sang to bring the required efficacy. When planting they sang for abundant harvest. In their sports, courtship, and mourning, song increased pleasure and comforted sorrow. All occasions for singing are covered in this volume.

Summary: We'd have all had to find something else to spend money on. I have both in several states. The end of the road features .... when a two-track becomes a cow trail, are better on these than on Delorme. On the other hand, Delorme has Long/Lat in the margins, contour lines and prettier features. These just have solid information indicating everything from a fence to a farmhouse. I wouldn't want to have to choose one over the other. Nice to live in a world where a person can own both.

Summary: We are so planted in the 21st century and all its accouterments that we forget there was another time, even when some of us lived in it. Dorothy L. Pillsbury transports us back to a simpler time and tells the reader about the Spanish, Indian, and Anglo culture in mid 20th century Santa Fe, New Mexico. Reading the four Adobe series books, in order, is like watching "progress" happen while still hanging on to the old ways. If you have an interest is reasonably contemporary history, the southwest US, divergent cultures, or just want to relax while you read, get all these books and just sit back and enjoy every delightful word. I am so glad I've been able to spend time in Tenario Flat with Dorothy's friends and neighbors.

Summary: The first book of the twenty-first century on New Mexico's ghost towns, this illustrated survey is based on research, interviews, and the travels of author Linda Harris and photographer Pamela Porter. They have divided the state into eleven regions comprising seventy ghost towns, from the Santa Fe Trail and Colfax County in the north to the southern mountains and the boot heel at the other end of New Mexico. For this writing, Harris has redefined ghost town to refer not just to permanently abandoned places but also to those that have declined without necessarily dying. She sheds light on the ways some towns have survived and how some have reinvented themselves, like Madrid and Cerrillos, former mining towns turned artistic and bohemian enclaves. All the towns in this book are accessible. Many have their own web sites and most have benefited from the efforts of preservation-minded residents and museum curators. Roads have been improved, churches restored, and schools have been transformed into community centers, libraries, or residences. Ghost Towns Alive will certainly entice New Mexicans and out-of-state tourists alike to pack a lunch and hit the road. Don't forget to bring walking shoes and your camera!

Summary: Written by the man who took the lead in obtaining Judge Dundy’s famous decision that an Indian is a person.
The earliest memories of Thomas Henry Tibbles (1840–1928) were of adventure and danger as his pioneer family followed the frontier west from Ohio to Bleeding Kansas, where young Tibbles volunteered for service with John Brown's abolitionist band. After the end of the border fighting he spent a memorable winter as the guest of a friendly Omaha tribe, going on the warpath with the Omahas against the Sioux, joining with them in buffalo hunts, and gaining the insights that made him a leader in the cause of justice for the American Indian. Although he returned to civilization, Tibbles' later life was far from routine. He led a posse against Jesse James, went to college, farmed, became a gun-toting, circuit-riding preacher, and later an editor on the Omaha "Herald". As a correspondent for the "Herald" he described in unforgettable terms the battle of Wounded Knee and his meeting with the old chieftain Sitting Bull. Tibbles' second wife was his fellow-worker in the Indian relief campaigns, Susette La Flesch (Bright Eyes), daughter of Iron Eye, former head chief of the Omahas. When Longfellow met this beautiful and cultivated Indian princess, he said, ""This" is Minnehaha!" Tibbles wrote his memoirs in 1905, the year after he ran for Vice President of the United States on the Peoples' party ticket. The volume was first published in 1957, edited by Theodora Bates Cogswell.

Summary: "Canyon Gardens" is the long-awaited sequel to "Anasazi Architecture and American Design" (UNM Press). It takes a new look at ancient and modern Puebloan gardening and landscape design approaches. Part One examines early Puebloan landscapes in detail, including compact gardens and terraces, site planning, the integration of farming and landscape design into settlement complexes, and the unit-courtyard complexes of the Mesa Verde country. It also covers the first meeting of the Ancient Puebloan tradition with Spanish traditions in seventeenth-century New Mexico and the Puebloan uses of plants. New field research is included--recent findings about the Zuni area, the upper Rio Grande country, and the Tompiro and Tiwa canyons and valleys in the Manzano Range. Part Two looks at the Ancient Puebloan culture's influence today. Chapters here examine the uses of the historic landscape in today's agriculture and horticulture and the impact of governmental regulations on traditional habits of gardening and land use and perception. Modern architects, site planners, and landscape architects will find these new-found qualities of the Southwestern landscape fascinating and inspirational. Contributors: Anthony Anella is an architect, teacher, and writer in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Kurt Anschuetz is an archaeologist in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Mary Beath is a writer and artist who has worked in Zuni, New Mexico. Bruce Bradley is an archeologist and author currently based in Exeter, England. Carol Brandt is an ethnobotanist in Albuquerque.

Summary: In this interesting and highly informative book" "we are presented with an impressive view of the great movements in time of cultures and civilizations as they flowered and died. Among the many discussed in this book are the Sumerian, Babylonian, Mycenaean, Hittite, Assyrian, the always fascinating Etruscan, and the Inca, Aztec, and Maya of the Americas. Defining civilization as the city-state inhabited by specialists—politicians, priests, craftsmen, laborers— necessary in a society learning to cope with the complexities of urban life, Mr. Riley has made use of the most recent results of anthropological research and archaeological discovery in tracing man’s cultural evolution. Among the important aspects of this study of our beginnings is the evidence that man tends to develop in channeled directions toward civilization. Mr. Riley suggests that, within each hemisphere though probably not between hemispheres, this trend is reinforced by diffusion from center to center. However, coverage of the Old World and the New in the book is well-balanced and includes much new material. Special chapters are devoted to the most important areas, such as Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Indus, the Levant, Crete, the Greeks, the Western Mediterranean, China, Mesoamerica, and the Central Andes. The book is illustrated with drawings and photographs, as well as with maps and charts.

Summary: This book is an excellent overview of a handful of people who experienced the atomic bomb that exploded over Hiroshima, Japan and the rescue efforts by some courages individuals immediately afterwards.
Given the recent concerns of the U.S. and many nations with Iran potentially becoming able to produce a nuclear weapon and the continued issues with North Korea's program, and the overarching concerns related to the proliferation of nuclear weapons technology, this book shows the real horrors of what an atomic explosion causes, both immediately - death and destruction - as well in the immediate and mediate aftermath - the terrible suffering of the survivors(including, severe burns, radiation poisoning, cancer and particularly leukemia, etc.). Particularly compelling was the story of how most of the population that survived the immediate blast effects, desperately sought out water, and how some priests stationed there from the west tried to help survivors.
This is an excellent, well-researched, and brief overview of the effects of an atomic bomb explosion on a city.
An article called "Hiroshima" written by John Hersey was published in The New Yorker magazine in August 1946, a year after World War II ended. The article was based on interviews with atomic bomb survivors and tells their experiences the morning of the blast and for the next few days and weeks. It was a calm and accurate account of survival in the first city to be destroyed by a single weapon.
There were many remarkable things about the "Hiroshoma" article. Just a few:
* "Hiroshima" took over the entire issue of the The New Yorker, there were no articles or cartoons. * The issue caused a tremendous effect, and sold out within hours. * Many magazines and newspapers commented on the article. * The full text was read on the radio in the U.S. and other countries.

Summary: "More than half a century of contact between the author and the Hopi people has resulted in an unusual opportunity for long informative talks with friends from the villages. These conversations in a variety of circumstances have helped to give depth to an understanding and appreciation uncommon among persons not born and raised in the Hopi way. . . . This work gives a comprehensive view of the Hopi as a people, in length of time covered as well as in depth and breadth." —Utah Historical Quarterly
"It is personal yet precise, emotional and involved, yet objective and factual. . . . Readers who know something of Hopi history will be fascinated by the new insights and interpretations presented by James." —Arizona and the West
"The author has been an active supporter of Hopi interests for some fifty years and this book is as much a testimony to his unflagging personal devotion to a small and neglected tribe as it is a history of the Hopis' determination to maintain their identity and self-respect." —Journal of Arizona History
"Harry James writes with sympathy and restraint about a proud people who have suffered unjustly in the past, and who today are seeking an identity. He brings into sharp focus the dreams for tomorrow of the Hopi tribe. Let these dreams be shared by others before it is too late." —The American West
"An amazing and gripping account of a very great and intelligent people, concentrating on fact rather than the fantastic legends that have grown up around this unique culture." —The Masterkey
"The Hopi are indeed a most interesting people, and this authentic account of their way of life is a valuable contribution to our knowledge of the Indian tribes of Arizona." —The Book Exchange
"For an excellent account of the history of the Hopi, the Southwest, typical government intervention into tribal affairs and the lives of the people . . . a must for any library." —Whispering Winds

Summary: “This book brings a positive and decisive end to the acrimonious argument over whether the people living on the American continents before Columbus were exclusively descendants of the Ice Age nomads who migrated here across the Bering Strait.” (from the introduction)
Gloria Farley has turned the world upside down when she investigated the Norse Runes in Heavner Oklahoma. As she learned about the runes, she learned about other alphabets that have long since disappeared. Working with more than 45 Phds, she has established the fact that many european and african cultures traveled to and from the Americas and they often stayed for prolonged periods. Her findings answer a great number of questions about finds in the "New World" by other sources. Her discoveries by their sheer numbers defeats any idea of hoax. This book is a major milestone in Archaeology.

Summary: This is the retelling of the revolt with a more sympathetic view of the Pueblo that provides another dimension to the rebellion. Normally, the story has been told from a Spanish perspective that often clouds the real issues. Pope, a spiritual leader, led the revolt after the Franciscans destroyed kivas, kachina masks, prayer feathers, and other religious objects. With the final indignity of being flogged in public for conducting Pueblo rituals, Pope began to plan his revolt. The Franciscan priests not only attempted to eliminate Pueblo religion but also radically restructured the family by eliminating the kachina cult initiations and stopping puberty rituals for young women who were coming of age. Although it is a good antidote for Robert Silverberg's Pueblo Revolt and other pro-Spanish books, its weakness is the absence of any significant discussion of the various Pueblo religious factors that led to the revolt. It does, however, commemorate the only successful revolution by Native Americans against Spanish rule.Details the causes and events of the Pueblo Indians' revolt against their Spanish rulers in 1680.

Comments: Recollections of 25 yrs. at the Blue Mesa Trading Post on the Navajo Reservation, 1912-1936, by the wife of the trading post operator.
Summary: Recollections by the author of her Navaho friends and neighbors during the 25 years, starting in 1914, that she and her husband operated the Blue Mesa trading post on the Navaho reservation. Many Navaho customs, traditions and religious beliefs and practices are revealed, from healing ceremonies and means of exorcising evil spirits, to the acquiring of special "powers.
Navaho Neighbors (1966) is a collection of reservation memories. The power of Navajo women in their matrilineal society emerges as Newcomb humorously describes a woman divorcing her fat husband by narrowing her hogan door, and poignantly tells of a niece bearing a child to give her aunt, whose children had died. Lack of chronological order reinforces Newcomb's emphasis upon the continuity of personal ties and tradition in this isolated community.
Although some historians and anthropologists resented Newcomb as an amateur, N. Scott Momaday applauded her realistic portrayals of Navajo life. To Newcomb, Navajos were people, not objects for study. This basic assumption permeates Newcomb's works, enhancing their value as a record of the personal dimension of intercultural communication. The papers of Franc Johnson Newcomb, including an unpublished paper, "Autobiography of Franc Johnson Newcomb," are at the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque.

Summary: This long-awaited fourth volume of Adolph F. Bandelier's journals covers the final years of what the pioneer anthropologist considered - the greatest undertaking of my life. Durning the 3 1/2 years recorded here, Bandelier was primarily in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
In the years covered by this fourth volume, Bandelier turned from his widely ranging interests to a greater emphasis on documentary material as it related to his study of Puebloan culture history. He continued to visit various pueblos and also archaeological sites. In addition, he commented on some of the social and economic problems, local politics, land development, and education, of a territory just beginning to seek statehood.
As in each of the earlier volumes, the editors have provided an overview of his life and career, including significant data from previously unused portions of his correspondence and newly available source material; again, there is thorough annotation of the journal entries. The southwestern journals and with his final departure from Santa Fe and the beginning of a new period of his life and career in South America.
Adolph F. Bandelier was important in early southwestern anthropology and history, and today he is recognized as a forerunner of present-day F. no history. For the general reader, the journals offer a unique picture of southwestern life of the late 19th century, and a scholar will find primary materials available nowhere else.

Dewey: 970.4
Date Added: 24 Apr 2009
Summary: The Native Americans of the Southeast such as the Moundbuilders and the Five Civilized Tribes (the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole) ejoyed a particularly rich and highly developed culture before European contact. This book explores their background and history. In the first chapter, Cotterill exmines the pre-contact migrations of the Siouian, Algonquian and Muskogean Nations and their village lifestyles, cultures and government. This sets the stage for their early meetings with the English colonists, and after the Revolutionary War, the Americans as well. Several chapters go into the gradual decline of the southern Nations as they found more and more of their lands claimed by Euro-American settlers who saw today's Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississipi and the Carlonias as valuable real estate. Several historical figures and events are mentioned, such as Alexander McGillivray (Creek leader who sought an alliance with Spain against the state of Georgia), Tecumseh (the Shawnee war leader who sought to unify the Indians against Euro-American settlers) and the Creek Wars. After the Creek Wars, the book focuses an entire chapter on the beginnings of Indian Removal in 1820 which would ultimately culminate in the Trail of Tears, Andrew Jackson's forced (and illegal) deportation of the Cherokee, Creek, Chickasaw, Choctaw and Seminole from their homelands in the Southeast to "Indian Territory" (Oklahoma). It then has a further chapter focusing on how the Southern Indians changed and adapted in the fifty years afterwards, in dress, culture, dwellings, education, language and religion. The final chapter covers 1825-1830, the final removal of the Southern Nations. It focuses on the struggles (both physical and in court) that the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and especially Seminole faced with being relocated to reservations and ultimately the Trails of Tears, in which Andrew Jackson (illegally; the Cherokee won against him in court but he ignored that ruling) deported members of the Five Nations from their homelands in the south to Indian Territory (today's Oklahoma). This is really a nice, scholarly book for understanding the history of the Five Civilized Tribes of the Southeast. It is particularly nice as it focuses on a specific timeframe (from English contact to 1830) and a specific area (the traditional homelands in the Southeast), so the focus is much more specific than it could be otherwise. My only criticism of this book is that information on the Seminole is fairly scant. Still, this is an excellent book for pure history of any of the Nations in the Southeast and if you are studying Native American history or culture, I strongly recommend this book and others in the series.

Summary: 1930. With an Introduction on the General History of the American Race. Illustrated. Part I of the book is a summary of Indian culture history as it is now known to students of the native American race; in the light of this Part II with a similar treatment of the Indian communities of the Southwest, concerning which every statement is verifiable or the contrary, since a considerable body of Pueblo Indians survive and live the ancient life. Part III, under the title, The Realm of the Pick and Spade, will have to do mainly with the ruins of towns that flourished and passed out of existence without having been seen by a member of the white race; of which there was not a survivor when the Spanish occupation began nearly four centuries ago; towns of which not a scrap of contemporary literature exists. In addition, the story will be told of towns and provinces that have passed into the archaeological realm during the period of recorded history-a process that may be called archaeology in the making.

Date Added: 24 Apr 2009
Summary: The famous prehistoric roadways have an important role in research on the Chaco Anasazi. Not only do they provide insight into the development of the so-called "Chaco phenomenon," but the roads also pique the curiosity of the general public, as witnessed by the publication of a popular book on the topic (Gabriel 1991). The public and archaeologists alike are mystified by the great width and apparent length of roads in a culture that did not have wheeled vehicles or pack animals. The use of cutting-edge remote sensing technology to investigate the roadways has further stimulated interest in the topic (Lyons and Hitchcock 1977; Obenauf 1991). This curiosity, however, has had a dark side, for there has been a tendency to accept scenarios of road development and function without careful consideration of the available evidence. This brief paper hopes to contribute to the research on Chaco roads by providing a detailed description of what is known about this fascinating but controversial cultural feature.

Summary: I had the privilege of meeting and talking with Frank Waters 1-on-1 in 1992, when he autographed my first edition of Masked Gods. He was as remarkable as his contributions to the collective knowledge of Native American peoples. Masked Gods is unmatched as a chronicle of the spiritual worlds of the major cultures of the vast Colorado Plateau area Waters roamed for much of his life. Beautifully written, it was discounted by many academics for its romantic point of view, but it has lasted far longer than most standard texts on anthropology. Waters spent his life experiencing and writing about mysticism and NA cultures; in my opinion this personal commitment elevates much of his work above others in the field. He was nominated for the Nobel prize several times, but never won. Some judges' commentary included the knock that he was "too regional", a palpably political statement (how regional was Gordimer's winning work on South Africa?).
To really appreciate Masked Gods, you should also read The Book of the Hopi and The Man Who Killed the Deer. This trio of books is indispensable to understanding Native american history and culture.

ISBN:
Dewey: 970.48
Date Added: 25 Apr 2009
Comments: The archeological survey plays a part in both the development and research aspects of the park plan. Survey is necessary to determine which sites, when exhibited, will best illustrate the various phases represented and, of course first, and if possible, what those phases are. The careful plotting of sites is required for the planning of necessary roads and trails in such a manner as to destroy as little as possible of the archeological and natural values which the park was established to preserve.
Summary: The objective of the archeological survey of Wetherill Mesa was to record the presence of all archeological manifestations in the area, to locate them as accurately as possible on a map, to describe each by means of field notes, sketches and photographs, and to make surface collections. Our work was a comprehensive survey. We recorded all prehistoric remains for which there was physical evidence on the surface of the ground.

Summary: When I visited Mesa Verde some years ago, I looked for this book in the Park's Gift Shop bookcase. Sadly, it is not being sold there anymore. In its place are topical works meant for less educated [and interested] members of society. 'Indians of the Mesa Verde' gives the reader an excellent view into the world of these Ancient Americans and their way of life in their cliff dwellings. Little is sugar-coated to be politically-correct. The world of these Indians is accounted for by showing different chores through the seasons- from farming in the warmer months to the old and arthritis-ridden soaking up the feeble heat of the sun in the winters of southwestern Colorado. Don Watson's book is worth having if you want to keep in mind that a whole culture once existed at that almost-mystical place before it had to endure the scourge of being a National Treasure subject to the ravages of public use and wear.

Summary: Puebloan peoples moved into the basin during the second and third centuries of the second millennium, apparently as refugees from a long, epic migration that left vast areas of the Southwest essentially depopulated. Evidently, Anasazi Puebloans – Keresan-speaking peoples from the Colorado Plateau region – occupied the northern part of the basin. Mogollon Puebloans – heavily tattooed Piro speakers from the northern Chihuahuan Desert – settled the southern part. Over time, the immigrants built nine significant communities, with the northernmost three having primarily Anasazi roots and the other six having primarily Mogollon roots, according to James E. Ivey’s richly detailed In the Midst of a Loneliness: The Architectural History of the Salinas Missions.

Summary: George Champlin Sibley surveyed the Santa Fe Trail under the auspices of the United States government between 1825 and 1827. As he and two other federal commissioners worked their way down the trail, they treated with Indian tribes and mapped the road. Long out of print and now available again, this volume collects portions of the journals, diaries, reports, and letters that record the history of that expedition. Soon emerging as the survey leader, Sibley was the only commissioner to travel the entire length of the trail from the Missouri frontier to Santa Fe, New Mexico. His journal and diary express the voice of a prosaic dreamer and a practical federal official. Menacing horseflies and unpredictable weather, not Indian war parties, were the greatest cause of complaint by the commissioners. Kate L. Gregg's skillful editing enhances the historical value of the journals and diaries of Sibley and his colleagues. Marc Simmons ably introduces the reader to the value of The Road to Santa Fe.

Dewey: 973.04972/0092
Date Added: 23 Apr 2009
Summary: This is a great book. I first read it about thirty years ago when I was in college. The book reminded me of that part of my childhood spent growing up on the Navajo Nation, when my parents were school teachers there. The book is an anthropological document of the first order but it reads like a novel and is full of humor and pathos. It shows the joy of childhood in a 'simple' culture while painting vivid images of that culture.
While the book struck a resonant chord with me, its appeal is universal. It is a mystery, because the unexpectedness of real life is in every page, but it is free of horror and full of affection.
I would like to see the book reprinted in hard cover so I can add it to my library in proper form, though I still have the thirty year old paperback.

Summary: Prior to statehood, the Llano Estacado, the great plains of northeastern New Mexico and northwestern Texas, were colonized by Hispanic ranchers. Cabeza de Baca's beloved memoir of the era has been reissued as part of the Pasó Por Aquí Series on Nuevomexicano Literature. A member of an old Hispanic family, Cabeza de Baca celebrates her Spanish heritage rather than the Mestizo culture embraced by later writers. She portrays the erosion of Hispanic folkways under American influence, but by recording a combination of oral narrative, autobiography, family history, recipes, and poetry, she has helped to preserve these unique expressions of Hispanic culture.
