A creative narrative exploring how personal identity is inescapably bound to family relationships and religious upbringing

AUTOBIOGRAPHY AND MEMOIR

Immortal for Quite Some TimeScott Abbott

“This is not a memoir. Rather, this is a fraternal meditation on the question

‘Are we friends, my brother?’ The story is uncertain, the characters are in flux, the voices are plural, the photographs are as troubled as the prose. This is not a memoir.”

Thus Scott Abbott introduces the reader to his exploration of the life of his brother John, a man who died of AIDS in 1991 at the age of forty. Writing about his brother, he finds he is writing about himself and about the warm-hearted, educated, and homophobic LDS family that forged the core of his identity.

Images and quotations are interwoven with the reflections, as is a critical female voice that questions his assertions and ridicules his rhetoric. The book moves from the starkness of a morgue’s autopsy through familial

disintegration and adult defiance to a culminating fraternal conversation. This exquisitely written work will challenge notions of resolution and wholeness.

Winner of the book manuscript prize in creative nonfiction in the Utah Arts Council’s Original Writing Competition.

SCOTT ABBOTT is professor of humanities, philosophy, and integrated stud-ies at Utah Valley University.

“Thank you, Scott Abbott, for doing the work that must be done, for being brave and loving and true—to the memory of your brother, to the quietly terrible realities of Mormon family life, to the brokenness of Mormon masculinity and its beauties as well. This book opens the door to a long overdue conversation about the suffering men in our community bear without speaking. I will give this book to the men I love and admire.”

—Joanna Brooks, author of Book of Mormon Girl and coauthor of Saving Alex

“In the search to understand his brother, Abbott begins his own meditations on family, religion, politics, sexuality, betrayal, and the things we carry. It is brave and honest writing.”

EDUCATION/UTAH

Hope, Heart, and the HumanitiesHow a Free College Course is Changing Lives

Edited by Jean Cheney and L. Jackson Newell with Hikmet Sidney Loe, Jeff Metcalf, and Bridget M. Newell

Hope, Heart, and the Humanities tells how Venture, a free, interdisciplinary college humanities course

inspired by the national Clemente Course, has helped open doors for hundreds of students who, for various reasons, faced barriers to attending college. This course has given them the knowledge, confidence, and power to rechart their lives.

Readers will go inside Venture classrooms to see what occurs when adults enter serious discussions of literature, critical writing, art history, American history, and philosophy. Also apparent are the difficulties nontraditional students often encounter and the hard choices they and their teachers make. But what readers

may remember most are the stories and voices of people whose views of the world have broadened and whose directions in life have changed.

JEAN CHENEY is associate director of Utah Humanities. L. JACKSON NEW-ELL served as dean of Liberal Education at the University of Utah and pres-ident of Deep Springs College. HIKMET SIDNEY LOE teaches art history at Westminster College in Salt Lake City. JEFF METCALF is an award-win-ning teacher and writer in the English Department at the University of Utah. BRIDGET M. NEWELL is professor of philosophy and associate vice-presi-dent for diversity at Bucknell University.

“Through personal narratives, the authors explain the transformative nature of the humanities. These stories are powerful and articulate the need for more programs like this.”

—Kristal Moore Clemons, director, online Ed.D Program, Florida State University

“A terrific introduction to a grassroots movement of oppressed people and educators worldwide, changing lives and communities through thinking and dialogue, more powerful than munitions. Students from all walks of life and backgrounds overcome poverty, racism, homelessness, abusive relationships, and hopelessness through their study of the humanities. Nuggets of teaching brilliance pervade the volume.

—David R. Kittay, director, Harlem Clemente Course for the Humanities

The surprising place of adobe in Salt Lake City homes and lives

UTAH/ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY

A Modest HomesteadLife in Small Adobe Homes in Salt Lake City, 1850–1897

Laurie J. Bryant

Stories of the ordinary people who helped build Salt Lake City emerge from a study of their often humble

adobe houses. Rather than focusing on men and women in positions of power and influence, the emphasis here is on the lives of people who built their sturdy, simple homes from mud.

A Modest Homestead provides architectural descriptions of ninety-four extant adobe houses. They are as basic as the people who built them—small tradesmen and farmers, laborers and domestics. Author Laurie Bryant discusses the neighborhoods in Salt Lake City where adobe houses have survived, often much renovated and disguised, and she showcases the houses not just as they

appear today but as they were originally built. Almost all the houses now have additions and improvements and without some dissection they are not always recognizable, often being both more comfortable and pleasant than might have been the case in the nineteenth century. What emerges through Bryant’s research is an enlarged picture of the roughhewn life of many early Utahns. Includes 120 historic and contemporary photographs.

LAURIE J. BRYANT is a transplanted Californian and retired paleontologist. After living in Salt Lake City for ten years, she was drawn to the city’s adobe buildings and to the people who built them.

“The author is a meticulous and creative researcher. She clearly has left no stone unturned.”

—Martha S. Bradley, professor, College of Architecture, University of Utah

“A substantive and data-rich volume that deserves celebration. The author conveys her passion for the topic, which is as much about the ‘little person’ as it is about their house.”

—Christopher W. Merritt, deputy state historic preservation officer, Utah Division of State History

The private life of Utah’s foremost women’s rights activist

MORMON STUDIES/WOMEN’S STUDIES/BIOGRAPHY

Emmeline B. WellsAn Intimate History

Carol Cornwall Madsen

Emmeline B. Wells was the most noted Utah Mormon woman of her time. Lauded nationally for her

energetic support of the women’s rights movement of the nineteenth century, she was a self-made woman who channeled her lifelong sense of destiny into ambitious altruism. Her public acclaim and activism belied the introspective, self-appraising, and emotional persona she expressed in the pages of her forty-seven extant diaries. After reconciling herself to the heartaches of plural marriage, she pursued a self-directed life in earnest and wrote, “I have risen triumphant.”

This new biography tells the story of the private Emmeline. The unusual circumstances of her several marriages, the complicated lives of her five daughters, the losses and disappointments interspersed with bright

moments and achievements, all engendered the idea that her life was a romance, with the mysterious, tragic, and sentimental elements of that genre. This volume, drawing heavily on Emmeline Wells’s own words, tells the complicated story of a woman of ambition, strength, tenderness, and faith.

CAROL CORNWALL MADSEN is professor emeritus of history at Brigham Young University, a past president of the Mormon History Association, and former vice-chair of the Board of Utah State History.

“Madsen’s absorbing biography is meticulously researched and elegantly composed. No Mormon studies education is complete without this book.”

—Kate Holbrook, specialist in women’s history, LDS Church History Department, and coeditor of Women and Mormonism: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives

“A significant contribution to women’s history, Utah history, and LDS history that will also appeal to the general reader.”

—Kathryn L. McKay, professor of history, Weber State University

A singular narrative woven from the biographies of four generations of women in southwestern Utah

MORMON STUDIES/WOMEN’S STUDIES/UTAH HISTORY

The WomenA Family Story

Kerry William Bate

Family history, usually destined or even designed for limited consumption, is a familiar genre within

Mormon culture. Mostly written with little attention to standards of historical scholarship, such works are a distinctly hagiographic form of family memorabilia. But in the right hands, many family sagas can prove widely engaging, owing to inherent drama and historical relevance. They can truthfully illuminate larger matters of history, humanity, and culture.

Kerry Bate proceeds on the premise that a story centering on the women of the clan could provide fresh perspective and insight. He portrays real people with well-rounded, flawed characters; builds from deep research; writes with a bit of style; and includes the rich context and

detail of these lives. His main subjects are four generations of impressive women: the pioneer Catherine Campbell Steele; her daughter Young Elizabeth, the first Mormon child born in Utah; Kate, an accomplished community leader; and Sarah, a gifted seamstress trapped in an unhappy marriage. To enter their hardscrabble lives in small southern Utah communities is to meet women who pioneered in modest but determined ways.

KERRY WILLIAM BATE has published in such periodicals as Utah Historical Quarterly, Oral History Review, The American Genealogist, and Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought.

“A detailed, lively, local history. The author has done an astonishing amount of recording and transcribing of oral histories and brings characters to life in a wonderful way.”

—Todd Compton, author of A Frontier Life: Jacob Hamblin, Explorer  and Indian Missionary

“The Women gives specific information about nearly every aspect of life on the American frontier—housing, food, medicine, animals, transportation, gas, and later electrical lighting. It personalizes a great many things that are often discussed only in general or technical and impersonal terms.”

MORMON STUDIES/AMERICAN INDIAN STUDIES

Making LamanitesMormons, Native Americans, and the Indian Student Placement Program, 1947–2000

Matthew Garrett

From 1947 to 2000, some 50,000 Native American children left reservations to live with Mormon foster

families. While some dropped out of the Indian Student Placement Program (ISPP), for others the months spent living with LDS families proved more influential than expected.

The ISPP emerged in the mid-twentieth century, championed by Apostle Spencer W. Kimball, and aligned with the then national preference to terminate tribal entities and assimilate indigenous peoples. But as the national paradigm shifted to self-determination, critics labeled the program as crudely assimilationist and colonialist. Some ISPP students like Navajo George P. Lee

fiercely defended the LDS Church before native peers and Congress, contending that it empowered Native people and instilled a true Indian identity. Meanwhile, Red Power activists organized protests in Salt Lake City, denouncing LDS colonialism. Later, a new generation of church leaders quietly undercut Indian programs, leaving many of its former participants with a sense of confusion and abandonment.

Making Lamanites traces student experiences within contested cultural landscapes to reveal how and why many of these Native youth adopted a new notion of Indianness.

MATTHEW GARRETT is professor of history at Bakersfield College, where he also works in the college archives. He recently joined the editorial board of the Journal of Mormon History.

“An outstanding contribution.”

—Laurie Maffly-Kipp, Archer Alexander Distinguished Professor of Religion and Politics, Washington University

“Using historical themes of colonization, assimilation, and identity, Matthew Garrett presents an extraordinary revelation of indigenous resilience among 50,000 native students during the second half of the twentieth century. This brilliant exposé advances our understanding of Indian-white relations and it is truly an award-winning book!”

The effects of World War I on Utah and its people

UTAH/HISTORY

Utah and the Great WarThe Beehive State and the World War I Experience

Edited by Allan Kent Powell

Copublished with the Utah State Historical Society

In time for the centennial of the United States’ entry into World War I, this collection of essays from the

Utah Historical Quarterly explores the war experience in Utah from the multiple perspectives of soldiers, nurses, and ambulance drivers who experienced the horror of the conflict firsthand and those on the home front who took active roles in supporting the war effort. Some of Utah’s Native Americans and at least one Episcopal bishop resisted the war. The terrible 1918–1919 flu pandemic killed more victims around the world than those who had died on the battlefields and did not spare Utah. A Red Scare and a fight over United States participation in a League of Nations followed the war. These essays help us understand the nature and complexity of the conflict and its impact on Utahns.

Includes artilces by James B. Allen, Leonard J. Arrington, Kerry William Bate, Marcia Black, Timothy Hearn, Andrew Hunt, Brandon Johnson, William G. Love, Robert S. McPherson, Miriam B. Murphy, Joerg A. Nagler, Helen Z. Papanikolas, Allan Kent Powell, Richard C. Roberts, John Sillito, and David L. Wood

ALLAN KENT POWELL retired in 2013 as managing editor of the Utah Histori-cal Quarterly and as senior state historian at the Utah State Historical Society.

“It is very significant to have these articles collected into one publication now that the centennial of World War I is here. It is especially important in helping us to remember that history repeats itself and that we have been through the same emotions in the past that we are going through today.”

—Robert S. Voyles, director of the Fort Douglas Military Museum

“A well-organized collection of articles that progress from the state’s military contributions to the Great War through political, protest, and health activities to the aftermath. Relevant to both scholars and general readers.”

The story of citizens working together to save the Hoback Basin from natural gas drilling

NATURE AND ENVIRONMENT

Saving Wyoming’s HobackThe Grassroots Movement that Stopped Natural Gas Development

Florence Rose Shepard and Susan Marsh

In late 2012, crowds gathered to hear a long anticipated announcement: The Trust for Public Land had

prevented natural gas development in the remote Hoback Basin of Wyoming by buying the leases owned by Plains Exploration Company. This would not have happened without the extraordinary will and expertise of local citizens. Unchallenged, the proposed natural gas development in the national forest near Bondurant, Wyoming, would have brought roads, pipelines, water and air pollution, and a complete change in the character of the landscape and its communities.

Retired schoolteachers, mine workers, big game hunters and outfitters, and other stakeholders combined their knowledge of the area to achieve a single goal: prevent

the industrialization of the wild country that was their home. Saving Wyoming’s Hoback tells the inspiring story of determined citizens who worked together to protect the land that they loved and made a difference.

FLORENCE ROSE SHEPARD is professor emerita in the Department of Educational Studies at the University of Utah. SUSAN MARSH is an award-winning writer living in Jackson, Wyoming.

“A fine, personal story of how people who don’t always agree with each other found common cause in opposing the industrial deelopment of a magnificent mountain backcountry. Success stories are rare in the environmental field, and this ‘win’ in the Wyoming Range was a big one.”

—Fred Swanson, author of Where Roads Will Never Reach (University of Utah Press 2015)

“Person by person, detail by detail, in a decade of stories both earthbound and homegrown, Florence Shepard and Susan Marsh take us to the wildlife crossroads of the Wyoming Range. As Shepard and Marsh follow these people bound by their love of Hoback Basin, they lay out a bipartisan path toward environmental redemption and justice”

Decoding Andean Mythology Margarita B. Marín-Dale

Decoding Andean Mythology analyzes native Andean oral traditions spanning five centuries. Based on

twenty years of research and a wide range of scholarship, this book departs from the Cuzco-centered focus of many published Andean narratives and includes myths, stories, and folktales from diverse regions and ethnic groups. Among them are full translations of thirty-two ancient and modern Native Andean stories. Colorful illustrations and a comprehensive glossary of Quechua, Aymara, and Spanish loan words supplement the text.

In an accessible and engaging discussion suitable for students, the author explores a number of recurring themes and characters in Andean stories. These include shape-shifting animals, the inversion of time-space (pachacuti), anthropomorphic and supernatural beings, and conflicting attitudes toward sexuality. The text also

presents a fresh perspective on traditional, non-Western concepts such as huacas (sacred objects and places), suggesting that some serve as portals between the natural and supernatural worlds. A lengthy chapter on social protest explains the rise of indigenous movements in the Andes and highlights the contemporary use of Native Andean folktales as an avenue for social and political dissent.

MARGARITA B. MARÍN-DALE taught Spanish and Latin American studies for fifteen years as an adjunct professor at American University in Washing-ton, DC. Born in Bolivia and educated in the U.S., she practiced corporate and international law before returning to her Andean roots to promote human rights and social justice for indigenous peoples.

“Margarita Marín-Dale has written an impressive book on Andean mythology, offering new interpretations of Peruvian, Bolivian, and Ecuadorian narratives supported by wide-ranging scholarship.”

—John W. Bierhorst, author of Latin American Folktales: Stories from Hispanic and Indian Traditions and The Mythology of South America

Shellfish for the Celestial EmpireThe Rise and Fall of Commercial Abalone Fishing in California

Todd J. Braje

In the 1800s, when California was captivated by gold fever, a small group of Chinese immigrants recognized

the fortune to be made from the untapped resources along the Pacific coast, particularly from harvesting the black abalone of southern and Baja California. These immigrants, with skills from humble beginnings in a traditional Chinese fishing province, founded California’s commercial abalone industry and led its growth and expansion for several decades.

Today, the physical evidence of historical Chinese abalone fishing on the mainland has been erased by development. On California’s Channel Islands, however, remnants of temporary abalone collecting and processing

camps lie scattered along the coastlines. These sites hold a treasure trove of information, stories, lifeways, and history. Todd Braje uses them to explore the history of Chinese abalone fishing, presenting a microcosm of the broader history of Chinese immigrants in America.

TODD J. BRAJE is an associate professor of anthropology at San Diego State University.

“Although other authors have documented aspects of the rise and fall of commercial abalone fishing, to my knowledge none has the particular focus of Braje’s book—the social context of the industry and links to a deeper history. The book will have a significant impact in the fields of conservation of marine resources and marine habitat restoration.”

—Michael A. Glassow, Professor Emeritus and Research Professor, University of California, Santa Barbara

The life story of Elizabeth Campbell, who homesteaded at the edge of what is now Joshua Tree National Park and whose pioneering work founded landscape archaeology

BIOGRAPHY/ARCHAEOLOGY

Purple HummingbirdA Biography of Elizabeth Warder Crozer Campbell

Claude N. Warren and Joan S. Schneider

Elizabeth Warder Crozer Campbell and her husband, William Campbell, found themselves forced to move

to the Mojave Desert in 1924. Its dry climate proved to be the best for William’s frail lungs, burned by mustard gas in World War I. They camped at Twentynine Palm Oasis in what is now Joshua Tree National Park, homesteaded nearby, and became a central part of that early community. Life in the remote, stark landscape contrasted sharply with Elizabeth’s early years of wealth and privilege in Pennsylvania, but her resilient spirit made the best of what at first seemed like a bleak situation, as she became an amateur archaeologist and explored the desert. A keen observer and independent thinker, she soon hypothesized that prehistoric people had lived in the California deserts

along the shores of late Pleistocene lakes and waterways much earlier than was then believed. She devised a means for testing her hypothesis and found evidence to support it. Her interpretations, however, conflicted with the archaeological paradigm of the day and she was dismissed by formally trained archaeologists. Even so, she and her husband continued their work, convinced of the accuracy of her findings. Four decades later the archaeological establishment validated and accepted her ideas. Campbell’s research ultimately revolutionized archaeological thought, forming the basis of today’s landscape archaeology.

CLAUDE N. WARREN is Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. JOAN S. SCHNEIDER is recently retired from her position as associate state archaeologist with California State Parks.

“The authors’ incredible breadth of knowledge of the region’s early archaeology is evident. Their book will aid future researchers in understanding the history of archaeological research in this area.”

Case studies with varied approaches to identity as revealed in the archaeological record of the Pacific coast and highlands of southeastern Mesoamerica

ARCHAEOLOGY/ANTHROPOLOGY/MESOAMERICA

Archaeology and Identity on the Pacific Coast and Southern Highlands of MesoamericaEdited by Claudia García-Des Lauriers and Michael W. Love

The Pacific coast and southern highlands of Chiapas and Guatemala is a region significant to debates

about the origins of social complexity, interaction, and colonialism. The area, however, has received uneven attention and much of what we know is largely restricted to the Preclassic period. This theoretically eclectic volume presents greater temporal coverage, is geographically unified, and engages some of the most important questions of each period through a discussion of the archaeology of identity. Chapters range from traditional assessments of identity to discussion of practice and relational personhood; all share a concern for how archaeology and ethnohistory provide opportunities and challenges in the reconstruction of identities.

Contributors:Geoffrey Braswell, Oswaldo Cinchilla Mazariegos, John E. Clark, Claudia García-Des Lauriers, Janine Gasco, Lucia R. Henderson, Michael W. Love, Hector Neff, Ruud van Akkeren

CLAUDIA GARCÍA-DES LAURIERS is assistant professor in the Depart-ment of Geography and Anthropology at California State Polytechnic Uni-versity, Pomona, and director of the Proyecto Arqueológico Los Horcones. MICHAEL W. LOVE is professor of anthropology at California State Univer-sity, Northridge.

“The volume provides new data, analysis, and ideas that will be a welcome addition to the literature. There is currently nothing comparable out there.”

—Robert M. Rosenswig, associate professor of anthropology, University at Albany–SUNY

“This volume finally brings the discussion of identity within the context of twenty-first-century anthropology with the support of hard evidence resulting from decades of sound scientific research. As such, this book will be a solid starting point for all readers interested in the art, architecture, and ethnohistory of the people of southern Mesoamerica.”

A completely new perspective on what prehistoric Southwestern people looked and sounded like and what these traits reveal

ARCHAEOLOGY/ANTHROPOLOGY

Recognizing People of the Prehistoric SouthwestJill Neitzel, with contributions by Ann L. W. Stodder, Laurie Webster, and Jane H. Hill

If you had traveled from one community to another in the prehistoric Southwest, you would have observed

tremendous diversity in how people looked and spoke. This volume is the first to look at how prehistoric people’s appearance and speech conveyed their identities. Southwest archaeologists have previously studied identity using architecture, ceramics, textiles, and jewelry. This colorful book uses a holistic, comparative approach to consider all aspects of appearance. Advocating a people-centered perspective for studying the past, Neitzel and her colleagues show how these characteristics conveyed information about an individual’s social status, cultural affiliation, inter-group connections, religious beliefs, and ceremonial roles.

Contributors:Ann L. W. Stodder, Museum of New Mexico, and Department of Anthropology, University of New Mexico; Laurie Webster, Arizona State Museum; and Jane H. Hill, School of Anthropology, University of Arizona (emerita)

JILL NEITZEL is associate professor of anthropology at the University of Delaware.

“Fills a niche of intelligent books about archaeology understandable by students and nonarchaeologists. The only other books of this sort are those that simply describe some kind of material culture (sandals or jewelry); this book is refreshingly different because it draws together several lines of evidence and makes sense of them.”

—Michelle Hegmon, professor of anthropology, Arizona State University

“This is the first broad-based comparison that focuses on these particular perspectives—how the ancient people of the Southwest looked and talked at different points in time. There is plenty of food for thought in all of the chapters.”

—Catherine S. Fowler, Foundation Professor Emerita of anthropology at the University of Nevada, Reno

Gathers research on the late mobile groups of the American Southwest and provides directions for future investigations

ARCHAEOLOGY/ANTHROPOLOGY

Fierce and IndomitableThe Protohistoric Non-Pueblo World in the American Southwest

Edited by Deni J. Seymour

Trending upward as an archaeological field of study, protohistoric mobile groups provide fascinating new

directions for cutting-edge research in the American Southwest and beyond. These mobile residents represent the ancient and ancestral roots of many modern indigenous peoples, including the Apaches, Jumano, Yavapai, and Ute. These important protohistoric and historic mobile people have tended to be ignored because their archaeological sites were deemed too difficult to identify, too scant to be worthy of study, and too different to incorporate. This book brings together information from a diverse collection of authors working throughout the American Southwest and its fringes to make the

bold statement that these groups can be identified in the archaeological record and their sites have much to contribute to the study of cultural process, method and theory, and past lifeways. Mobile groups are integral for assessing the grand reorganizational events of the Late Prehistoric period and are key to understanding colonial contact and transformations.

DENI J. SEYMOUR is a full-time research archaeologist and ethnohistorian.

“An excellent array of regional case studies spanning the Southwest, from the edge of the Great Plains to California. A consistent, scholarly sound, and very well-rounded volume.”

—John Carpenter, profesor de investigación científica, Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia, Centro Insituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia Sonora

“These essays provide insights into the activities of those often invisible groups whose presence bridged a cultural and temporal span between ‘prehistory’ and the leading edges of ‘history.’ Insofar as the southwestern archaeological literature is concerned, this book stands alone.”

—David H. Snow, former director and founder of Cross-Cultural Research Systems

The most extensive ethnographic documentation of Southern Paiute lifeways from the mid-1800s to early 1900s

ANTHROPOLOGY/AMERICAN INDIAN STUDIES

Isabel T. Kelly’s Southern Paiute Ethnographic Field Notes, 1932–1934Las VegasUniversity of Utah Anthropological Paper No. 130

Compiled and edited by Catherine S. Fowler and Darla Garey-Sage

This publication presents the first volume (Las Vegas) of the early ethnographic field work of anthropologist

Isabel T. Kelly. From 1932 to 1934, Kelly interviewed thirty Southern Paiute people—from southeastern California, southern Nevada, northern Arizona, and southern Utah—about “the old ways.” She filled 31 notebooks, made maps, took photographs, collected nearly 300 botanical specimens, purchased and shipped over 400 ethnographic artifacts to museums, and traveled more

than 7,000 miles. Her notes comprise the most extensive primary ethnographic documentation of Southern Paiute/Chemehuevi lifeways of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Although Kelly intended to publish these notes, she was unable to do so before her death. Fowler and Garey-Sage have now synthesized the first set of these handwritten field notes and sketches, providing organization, commentary, and illustrations to put them in context for the modern reader. Kelly’s data, most of which could not be gathered today, are offered here for the use of generations to come.

CATHERINE S. FOWLER is professor of anthropology emerita at the Univer-sity of Nevada, Reno. DARLA GAREY-SAGE is deputy director of the Nevada Rock Art Foundation.

“Catherine Fowler and Darla Garey-Sage do a wonderful service here in compiling Kelly’s work into a cohesive, integrated ethnographic monograph that brings this trove of information back to life.”

—David E. Rhode, research professor of archaeology, Desert Research Institute, Reno, Nevada

“This publication is a significant contribution to the specialized literature on the Southern Paiutes and provides data that can no longer be duplicated.”

—Martha C. Knack, author of Boundaries Between: The Southern Paiutes, 1775-1995

An invaluable look at how petrographic analysis of pottery aids our understanding of the past

ARCHAEOLOGY

Integrative Approaches in Ceramic PetrographyEdited by Mary F. Ownby, Isabelle C. Druc, and Maria A. Masucci

Ceramic petrography, the microscopic examination of the mineral content and structure within ceramic thin

sections, reveals the origin and movement of pottery and sheds light on the technology of the artifact. Although used by archaeologists since the 1930s, ceramic petrography has been uncommon until recently. Integrative Approaches in Ceramic Petrography highlights new results from this field and incorporates it prominently within current archaeological work.

Thirteen papers cover a broad spectrum of regional and temporal contexts. Case studies provide practical examples by combining petrography with scientific, ethnographic, and experimental methods. The varied uses of ceramic petrography and the insights it has generated

illustrate the significance of this method for understanding past societies. The volume’s conclusion provides an astute overview of the field.

MARY F. OWNBY is the research petrographer at Desert Archaeology, Inc. and a research associate at the University of Arizona. ISABELLE C. DRUC is a researcher in the Department of Anthropology at University of Wisconsin–Madison.  MARIA A. MASUCCI is professor of anthropology and director of the archaeology minor at Drew University.

“This groundbreaking volume demonstrates the resurgence of ceramic petrographic analysis. Diverse essays geographically span the American Southwest to northern China, and 5,000 BCE to nineteenth century CE. Essential, authoritative, and compelling, this anthology emphasizes methodologies and new investigations elucidating broader anthropological questions.”

—Charles C. Kolb, artifact identification consultant for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and for the National Museum of Afghanistan

“Advances the field by providing an anthology of different methodologies and different geographical areas.”

—Leslie G. Cecil, associate professor of anthropology, Stephen F. Austin State University

Philo T. FarnsworthThe Father of Television

Donald G. Godfrey

Philo T. Farnsworth (1906–1971) has been called the “forgotten father of television.”

He grew up in Utah and southern Idaho and was described as a genius by those who knew and worked with him. With only a high school education, Farnsworth drew his first television schematic for his high school teacher in Rigby, Idaho. Subsequent claims and litigation notwithstanding, he was the first to transmit a television image.

Farnsworth filed ten patents between 1927 and 1929 for camera tubes (transmitting), circuitry, and the cathode ray tube (viewing). After his early years as an inventor in San Francisco, he worked as an engineer, did battle with RCA in the 1930s over patent rights, formed the Farnsworth Television Company in the 1940s, and worked for IT&T after their purchase of the Farnsworth enterprises. Every television set sold utilized at least six of his basic patents.

Donald Godfrey examines the genius and the failures in the life of Philo Farnsworth as he struggled to be both inventor and entrepreneur.

Seeking the Center PlaceArchaeology and Ancient Communities in the Mesa Verde Region

Edited by Mark D. Varien and Richard H. Wilshusen

The continuing work of the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center has focused on

community life in the northern Southwest during the Great Pueblo period (AD 1150– 1300). Researchers have been able to demonstrate that during the last Puebloan occupation of the area the majority of the population lived in dispersed communities and large villages of the Great Sage Plain, rather than at nearby Mesa Verde. The work at Sand Canyon Pueblo and more than sixty other large contemporary pueblos has examined reasons for population aggregation and why this strategy was ultimately forsaken in favor of a migration south of the San Juan River, leaving the area depopulated by 1290.

Seeking the Center Place is the most detailed view we have ever had of the last Pueblo communities in the Mesa Verde region and will provide a better understanding of the factors that precipitated the migration of thousands of people.

Alma Richards, OlympianLarry R. Gerlach

Alma Richards, an unsung high school student, surprisingly set an Olympic record for the high jump in the 1912 Stockholm Olympics. He was the only native Utahn and the only member of the LDS church to win an Olympic gold medal in the twentieth century. After a stellar collegiate track career that saw him lead Cornell to three national championships, Richards for two decades reigned as America’s most accomplished multiple-event track and field athlete, winning national titles in five different events. Despite his prominence in the history of American sports, this is the first treatment of his athletic career and personal life.

Cass HiteThe Life of an Old Prospector

James H. Knipmeyer

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Cass Hite was a well-known prospector in the Glen Canyon area of southern Utah. He lived as a recluse yet knew most of the river explorers and travelers, cowboys, and Native Americans that passed through the region. After his death, his name remained prominent in the region; the nearby Hite Marina kept his name in the public eye for thousands of boaters. Despite this notoriety, no one has written a full-length, scholarly account of Hite’s life. This biography fills that void, detailing Hite’s story from his birth in central Illinois in 1845 to his death in Glen Canyon in 1914. It corrects some of the long-accepted stories about Hite and puts others in their proper perspective, while revealing new information. Scores of photographs and excerpts from Hite’s own writing further illuminate this colorful prospector’s life.

Directions for Mormon Studies in the Twenty-First CenturyEdited by Patrick Q. Mason

A new and exciting era in Mormon studies is emerging from an academy more attuned to the significance of religion, the increased public prominence of Mormons and Mormonism, and an increasing number of scholars applying ever-more sophisticated methods to the study of Mormonism. Directions for Mormon Studies in the Twenty-First Century captures this fruitful time by bringing together some of the most influential voices across the generations of Mormon studies. Neither a survey of the field nor a mere recapitulation of dominant themes, this volume charts areas for exploration and modes of inquiry that reflect the maturation of the field and help set the agenda for the next generation of Mormon studies scholarship.

Leonard Arrington and the Writing of Mormon HistoryGregory A. Prince

Gregory Prince follows his well-regarded biography of LDS President David O. McKay with the story of another key figure in the modern history of Mormonism. Leonard Arrington, a gregarious and generous historian, used his success to advance the careers of many others and played a key role in the intellectual development of Mormonism by broadening Mormons’ understanding of themselves. Employing Arrington’s massive personal record and dozens of interviews with his associates, Prince provides the most complete account yet of the remarkable life of this longtime face of Mormon history.

Mormonism and the Making of a British ZionMatthew Lyman Rasmussen

After many British believers left for America, church membership in England fell so sharply that the movement in Britain seemed to be on the brink of collapse. Yet British Mormonism gradually resurged and continues today. How did this religious minority flourish when so many nineteenth-century revivalist movements did not? Rasmussen explains Mormonism’s inception, perpetuation, and maturation in Britain in a compelling case study of a “new religious movement” with staying power. From its establishment in 1837 to its maturation in 1998, the Mormon perspective of Britain shifted dramatically. This book chronicles that shift, and illustrates how doctrinal adaptation has enabled Mormonism in Britain to persist.

Giant Sloths and Sabertooth CatsExtinct Mammals and the Archaeology of the Ice Age Great Basin

Donald K. Grayson

As the Ice Age came to an end, North America lost a stunning variety of animals. Mammoths, mastodons, llamas, ground-dwelling sloths the size of elephants, beavers the size of bears, pronghorn antelope the size of poodles, and the carnivores that chased them—sabertooth cats, dire wolves, American lions and cheetahs; these and many more were gone by 10,000 years ago. Giant Sloths and Sabertooth Cats surveys all these animals, with a particular focus on the Great Basin.

Ephemeral BountyWickiups, Trade Goods, and the Final Years of the Autonomous Ute

Curtis Martin

The study of the last remaining Ute wickiups, or brush shelters, along with the historic artifacts found with them has uncovered an understudied chapter of Native American history—the early years of contact with European invaders and the final years of Ute sovereignty. Ephemeral Bounty is the result of this archaeological research and its findings on the protohistoric and early historic Ute Indians of Colorado. The Colorado Wickiup Project is documenting ephemeral wooden features such as wickiups, tree-platforms, and brush horse corrals that remain scattered throughout the mesas, canyons, and mountains of the state. Many date from after the arrival of European newcomers.

Of extant languages, Ch’orti’ Mayan is the closest to the ancient Maya hieroglyphic script, but it is a language that is decreasing in usage. In southern Guatemala where it is spoken, many children no longer learn it, as Spanish dominates. From linguistic and anthropological data gathered over many years, Kerry Hull has created the largest and most complete Ch’orti’ Mayan dictionary to date. With nearly 9,000 entries, this trilingual dictionary of Ch’orti’, Spanish, and English preserves ancient words and concepts that were vital to this culture in the past.

Edited by Leslie B. Davis and John W. Fisher Jr.

This book presents eight case studies by professional archaeologists who discuss innovative approaches and advances in research methodology while examining the myriad challenges associated with interpreting this work for the public. Each study focuses on a particular Native American bison-kill site and shares the unique path from archaeological investigation to the creation of a public interpretive facility. Collectively the chapters comprise a comprehensive exploration of the multifaceted linkages between archaeological research and public education—ranging in scope from the interrelationships of an interpretive facility with its surrounding communities to the nuances of explaining bone decomposition to site visitors.

Zooarchaeology and Field EcologyA Photographic Atlas

Jack M. Broughton and Shawn D. Miller

This photographic atlas, developed over twenty years of teaching in the field, expedites the work of the zooarchaeologist by integrating both osteology and wildlife ecology into a single volume. This book is the only field guide and laboratory manual to combine animal ecology and natural history with the detailed osteology of all the vertebrate classes (fishes, amphibians, birds, and mammals) and all the primary orders native to western North America. Skeletal images are shown at a variety of magnifications and views and are accompanied by photographs of the animals in their characteristic habitats.

loreDavis McCombs

Drawn from the rich folk traditions of his native Mammoth Cave region in Kentucky as well as the folklore of his adopted Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, the poems in Davis McCombs’s third collection exist along the fraught lines where nature and agriculture collide or in those charged moments where modernity intrudes on an archaic world. These poems celebrate out-of-the-way places, the lore of plants, wild animals and their unknowable lives, and nearly forgotten ways of being and talking and doing. Rendered in a language of great lexical juxtapositions, here are days of soil and labor, nights lit only by firelight, and the beings, possibly not of this world, lured like moths to its flames. McCombs, always a poet of place and of rootedness, writes poems teetering between two locales, one familiar but achingly distant, one bewildering but alluringly present.
