ISTORY
COPUBLISHED WITH THE UTAH STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY
The Awkward State of Utah Coming of Age in the Nation, 1896–1945
Charles S. Peterson and Brian Q. Cannon
A thorough and engaging account of Utah’s fi rst fi fty years of statehood
The half century between statehood in 1896 and the end of World
War II in 1945 was a period of transformation and transition for Utah.
This book interprets those profound changes, revealing sweeping
impacts on both institutions and ordinary people. Drawing upon
expertise honed over decades of teaching, researching, and writing
about Utah’s history, the authors incorporate fresh archival sources,
new oral histories, and hundreds of scholarly articles and books as
they narrate the little -known story of the crucial formative years
when Utah came of age.
During its sometimes awkward years of adolescence and matu-
ration, Utah was gradually incorporated into the American political,
social, and economic mainstream. Urban and industrial infl uences
supplanted agrarian traditions, displacing people socially, draining
the countryside of population, and galvanizing a critical crisis in val-
ues and self -identifi cation. National corporations and mass labor
movements took root in the state as commerce expanded. Involve-
ment in world events such as the Spanish -American War, two world
wars, and the Great Depression further set the stage for entry into
the modern, globalized world as Utahns immersed themselves in
national politics and became part of the democratic, corporate cul-
ture of twentieth -century America.
CHARLES S. “CHAS” PETERSON is Professor Emeritus of History at
Utah State University. His publications include Take Up Your Mission:
Mormon Colonizing along the Little Colorado River, 1870–1900 and
Utah: A Bicentennial History.
BRIAN Q. CANNON is professor of history and director of the Charles
Redd Center for Western Studies at Brigham Young University. He
is the author of numerous books, including Reopening the Frontier:
Homesteading in the Modern West, and coeditor, with Jessie L. Embry,
of Utah in the Twentieth Century and Immigrants in the Far West: Histor-
ical Identities and Experiences (University of Utah Press, 2015).
“What a wonderful example of how history should be written! It is engaging, warm, and colorful.”
—Stanford J. Layton, author of To No Privileged Class: The Rationalization of Homesteading and Rural Life in the Early Twentieth Century.
“This study represents not only a sound narrative, but puts forth excellent analysis and synthesis. A solid, positive, and needed contribution to Utah history.”
—Philip F. Notarianni, former director of Utah State History; author of Carbon County: Eastern Utah’s Indus-trialized Island

Where Roads Will Never Reach Wilderness and Its Visionaries in the Northern Rockies
Frederick H. Swanson
How the courageous actions of citizens in Idaho and Montana saved some of America’s largest wilderness areas
The Rocky Mountains of Idaho and Montana are home to some
of the most important remaining American wilderness areas, pre-
served because of citizens who stood against massive development
schemes that would have diminished important wildlife habitats
and the abiding sense of remoteness found in such places. Where
Roads Will Never Reach tells the stories of hunters, anglers, outfi tters,
scientists, and other concerned citizens who devoted themselves
to protecting remnant wild lands and ecosystems in the Northern
Rockies. Environmental historian Frederick Swanson argues that
their heartfelt, dedicated work helped boost the American wilder-
ness movement to its current prominence.
Based on newly available archival sources and interviews with
many of the participants, this groundbreaking study explores for the
fi rst time the grassroots campaigns that yielded some of the largest
designated wilderness areas in America.
FREDERICK H. SWANSON writes about the wild landscapes of the
West from his home in Salt Lake City. His books include The Bitterroot
and Mr. Brandborg: Clearcutting and the Struggle for Sustainable For-
estry in the Northern Rockies (University of Utah Press, 2011). Among
his awards are the Wallace Stegner Prize in Environmental and Amer-
ican Western History, the Spur Award, and the Utah Book Award.
“Off ers a provocative, stimulating, and engaging study of the history of wilder-ness and of the eff orts to protect wilder-ness areas. The author has delved deeply into this subject and probed its major milestones, campaigns, and arenas.”
—Mark Harvey, author of Wilderness Forever: Howard Zahniser and the Path to the Wilderness Act
“Outside of Alaska, the Northern Rocky Mountains are the absolute heart and soul of what’s left of primitive America. We owe a great deal of thanks to the many ordi-nary citizens and small handful of legisla-tors who saved these tracts from extensive fragmentation during the frenzy of post-war industrial overdevelopment. And we owe Swanson our gratitude for telling their story in clear, direct, and readable prose.”

The Mapmakers of New ZionA Cartographic History of Mormonism
Richard Francaviglia
How maps helped shape the Mormon experience and worldview
From their earliest days on the American frontier through their
growth into a worldwide church, the spatially expansive Mormons
made maps to help them create idealized communities, migrate
to and colonize large parts of the American West, visualize the sto-
ries in their sacred texts, and spread their message internationally
through a well -organized missionary system. This book identifi es
many Mormon mapmakers who played an important but heretofore
unsung role in charting the course of Latter -day Saint history. For
Mormons, maps had and continue to have both practical and spiri-
tual signifi cance. In addition to using maps to help build their new
Zion and to explore the Intermountain West, Latter -day Saint map-
makers used them to depict locations and events described in the
Book of Mormon.
Featuring over one hundred historical maps reproduced in full
color—many never before published—The Mapmakers of New Zion
sheds new light on Mormonism and takes readers on a fascinating
journey through maps as both historical documents and touch-
stones of faith.
RICHARD FRANCAVIGLIA, Professor Emeritus of History and Geog-
raphy at the University of Texas at Arlington, has been interested in
maps since childhood. His diverse publications include the recent
Go East, Young Man: Imagining the American West as the Orient. He
lives in Oregon where he teaches courses in religious studies at
Willamette University.
“The Mapmakers of New Zion is a brilliant history of Mormons and Mormon thought, viewed through the unique lens of car-tography. Written in an engaging style, Mapmakers documents the minutiae of history and geography and off ers an ongoing meditation on Mormon cosmol-ogy and Latter -day Saint views on space and time. A stimulating and enlightening book.”
—Todd Compton, author of A Frontier Life: Jacob Ham-blin, Explorer and Indian Missionary
“Provides an excellent introduction to his-torical cartography and asks a series of illuminating questions about the art and science of mapmaking. Carefully crafted and full of cultural insights.”

Past and Future YellowstonesFinding Our Way in Wonderland
Paul Schullery
Our keystone national park and how we redefi ne and recreate it
Drawing on historical perspectives, personal excursions, and
decades of professional research and work in the fi eld, Paul Schul-
lery illuminates many of the possible truths embedded within the
natural and cultural reality that is Yellowstone National Park. By
varying the scale of observation—from a single encounter between
a cow elk and a grizzly bear to the sweeping forces of evolution—
Schullery celebrates the park’s history and future potential as a lab-
oratory of ideas. It is, as he states, a place with “layers of meaning
waiting to be explored . . . many possible truths to be weighed.” He
thus invites us all to participate in the “Yellowstone conversation.”
According to Schullery, national parks allow for the study of rel-
atively unmanipulated ecological processes, even amidst civiliza-
tion’s increasing infl uence. They act as reservoirs for water, wildlife,
and essential wildness. The uncertainties inherent in wild land-
scapes and in the unfolding idea of Yellowstone allow scholarly and
popular dialogues to advance management practices and public
understanding. Through this inquiry, Schullery establishes a frame-
work for approaching conservation and the experience of America’s
great wildlands.
Paul Schullery delivered this lecture on March 26, 2014, at the
19th annual symposium sponsored by the Wallace Stegner Center
for Land, Resources and the Environment at the S. J. Quinney Col-
lege of Law at the University of Utah.

Lost in the Yellowstone“Thirty-seven Days of Peril” and a Handwritten Account of Being LostNEW EDITION
Truman Everts Edited by Lee H. Whittlesey
A new edition of a classic story of adventure and survival published for the fi rst time with a handwritten record by Truman Everts
In 1870, Truman Everts visited what would two years later become Yel-
lowstone National Park, traveling with an exploration party intent on
mapping and investigating that mysterious region. Scattered reports
of a mostly unexplored wilderness fi lled with natural wonders had
caught the public’s attention, and the fi fty-four-year-old Everts, near-
sighted and an inexperienced woodsman, had determined to join
the expedition. He was soon separated from the rest of the party
and from his horse, setting him on a grueling quest for survival. For
over a month he wandered Yellowstone alone and injured, with little
food, clothing, or other equipment. In “Thirty-seven Days of Peril” he
recounted his experiences for the readers of Scribner’s Monthly.
In June 1996, Everts’s granddaughter arrived at Mammoth Hot
Springs in Yellowstone National Park to meet with park archivist Lee
Whittlesey. She brought two documents that her father had kept
hidden and both were handwritten by Everts. One was a brief auto-
biography that gave new insight into his early life. The other was a
never-published alternative account of his confused 1870 journey
through Yellowstone. Both have been added to this volume, further
enhancing Everts’s unlikely tale of survival.
LEE H. WHITTLESEY is the Yellowstone National Park historian and
the author of multiple books on the park, including Yellowstone Place
Names and Storytelling in Yellowstone: Horse and Buggy Tour Guides.
“One of the most remarkable stories in early Yellowstone history. A nice addition to the growing Yellowstone library.”

Rediscovering National Parks in the Spirit of John MuirMichael Frome
Longtime environmental journalist Frome refl ects on a lifetime of involvement with national parks
As a journalist, advocate, and professor, Michael Frome has spent
decades engaged with conservation topics and has taken partic-
ular interest in America’s national parks. He draws on this experi-
ence and knowledge to address what remains to be done in order
to truly value and preserve these special places. Part memoir, part
history, and part broadside against those who would diminish
this heritage, Rediscovering National Parks in the Spirit of John Muir,
through thoughtful refl ections and ruminations, bears witness to
the grandeur of our parks and to the need for a renewed sense of
appreciation and individual responsibility for their care.
In recollections of his encounters and conversations with key
people in national park history, Frome discusses park politics, con-
fl icts between use and preservation, and impacts of commercializa-
tion. He proposes a dedicated return to the true spirit in which the
parks were established, in the manner of John Muir. He advocates
maintaining these lands as wild sanctuaries, places where we can
fi nd inspiration, solitude, silence, balance, and simplicity, reminding
us why we must preserve our national treasures and why we need to
connect with the deeper values they hold.
MICHAEL FROME is an author, educator, and tireless champion
of America’s natural heritage. He has been a featured columnist in
the Los Angeles Times, Field & Stream, American Forests, and Defend-
ers of Wildlife, and has written twenty -two books, including Battle for
the Wilderness (1997) and Green Ink: An Introduction to Environmen-
tal Journalism (1998). In 1995 he retired from the faculty of Western
Washington University, where he directed a pioneering program in
environmental journalism and writing.
“Very engaging. Frome is a signifi cant fi g-ure in modern park and environmental history, having been preeminent as a jour-nalist in the fi eld for many, many years. What he thinks on these matters is worth pondering.”

The RivalSara Wallace
Poems exposing a woman’s life through experiences of devastation and transcendence
In The Rival, Sara Wallace takes her readers on an intimate journey
through a woman’s solitary, surreal rural childhood and her bru-
tal, sexually fraught fi rst marriage to the confl icted redemption she
fi nds in motherhood and a second chance at love. In this debut
poetry collection, Wallace reveals how closely emotional devasta-
tion and transcendence can coexist. The Rival is sensuous, darkly
humorous, and frequently luminous in its unfl inching exploration of
the inner life.
SARA WALLACE is the author of Edge, winner of the 2014 Cen-
ter for Book Arts Chapbook Competition. Her work has appeared in
such publications as Agni, Hanging Loose, Michigan Quarterly Review,
Grand Street, and others. She teaches at New York University and
lives in Brooklyn.
“Always in motion through a landscape in restless mimesis of the speaking self, these poems declare ‘I’m going to take you as far as I can.’ And Wallace’s unabashedly naked words lay bare hidden urgencies in that quest to arrive at some always shifting center. ‘This life, so redolent and stark / you’d split open if you stopped’ she tells us. This is a stunning debut collection.”
—Peter Cooley, director of creative writing, Tulane University.
“Sara Wallace’s brilliantly conceived poetry is both searing and ten-der by turns. Visceral, fi erce, and unapologetic, her poems con-front the reader like a series of shattered mirrors. Operatic in scope yet incisive as a laser, this work will seize you—so be warned—and refuse to let go.”

“Sara Wallace is a poet of quiet extremes. The poetry is serious or breezy or written with the high art of a Mozart or Bach, and then it veers casually into the everyday when it must. Wallace is an extraordinary poet, one who sees and feels everything and brings it to us beauti-ful and new. In The Rival she understands the deep mystery of the human experi-ence and plays wildly and crafts seriously right there between reality and imagi-nation, where the poetry is. These are unforgettable poems.”

Sushi in CortezInterdisciplinary Essays on Mesa Verde
Edited by David Taylor and Steve Wolverton
An interdisciplinary exploration of Mesa Verde that seeks a broader understanding of place by sharing diff ering perspectives
The Mesa Verde region is one of the most popular tourist destina-
tions in the world and is an area fraught with complexities, anoma-
lies, and layers of histories. Sushi in Cortez is a collection of essays by
an interdisciplinary group of academics, artists, and cultural observ-
ers that explores this diverse landscape and heritage by combining
and sharing the diff ering perspectives provided by various disciplines.
Poetry, fi lm, environmental philosophy, nature photography, native
Pueblo perspectives, and archaeology are used to touch on the com-
mon questions people ask about the value of their work and lives as
well as the impotance of visiting ancient sites such as Mesa Verde. The
authors share personal stories about the diffi culties, joys, confusions,
and epiphanies they experienced as they crossed the boundaries of
their professional lives, coming to understand how incomplete any
single rendition of place can be. Find a video of the experience as well
as additional images on our website www.UofUpress.com.

Brook University. His publications include Praying Up the Sun; The
Log from The Sea of Cortez: A Poem Series; and Lawson’s Fork: Headwa-

STEVE WOLVERTON is an associate professor in environmental
archaeology and conservation paleozoology in the Department of
Geography at the University of North Texas. He is co editor of Conser-

“We are brought into the world of sharing, humor, humility, and exploration that tran-scends the traditional limitations of aca-demic or scholarly work. Given the recent interest in interdisciplinary and trans -disciplinary work, this book has the poten-tial to fi ll a real niche.”
—Sylvia D. Torti, dean of the Honors College and assistant research professor of biology, University of Utah
“This volume would be very eff ective for all incoming college freshmen. It would create a platform for discussion of what happens intellectually as one trains to become a professional in any fi eld, and for discussion of the pros and cons of this kind of professionalization.”

The Electric Edge of AcademeThe Saga of Lucien L. Nunn and Deep Springs College
L. Jackson NewellForeword by William T. Vollmann
The life story of a daring innovator, entrepreneur, and educational reformer
Here is a look at the life and legacy of an irrepressible innovator.
Pushing against both social convention and technological bound-
aries, L.L. Nunn left enduring marks on economic and social history,
labor development, and educational reform. The Electric Edge of Aca-
deme is a bold portrayal of this progressive -era hydroelectric power
magnate who, driven by a dynamic conscience, also became a force
for social change and educational experimentation.
In 1891, Nunn, working with Tesla and Westinghouse, pioneered
the world’s fi rst commercial production of high-tension alternating
current (AC) for long -distance transmission—something Thomas
Edison deemed dangerous and irresponsible. After creating the
Telluride Power Company, Nunn constructed the state -of -the -art
Olmsted Power Plant in Provo Canyon and the Ontario Power Works
at Niagara Falls. To support this new technology, he developed an
imaginative model of industrial training that became so compelling
that he ultimately abandoned his entrepreneurial career to devote
his wealth and talents to experimenting with a new model of liberal
education. In 1917, Nunn founded Deep Springs College in eastern
California. The school remains one of the most daring, progres-
sive, and selective institutions of higher learning in America. Newell
examines how Nunn’s radical educational ideas have survived inter-
nal and external challenges for nearly a century and explores their
relevance today.
L. JACKSON NEWELL is Professor Emeritus of Educational Lead-
ership at the University of Utah, where he was also dean of liberal
education for sixteen years. He served as president of Deep Springs
College from 1995 to 2004. His previous books include Maverick Col-
leges, Creating Distinctiveness: Lessons from Uncommon Colleges (with
Barbara Townsend), and Matters of Conscience, a biography of Ster-
ling M. McMurrin.
“A unique, thorough work by anoutstanding, established historian and philosopher of education. It fi lls a voidin institutional and regional history.”
—John R. Thelin, author of A History of American Higher Education
“This elegant volume is as informative as it is fascinating. More than a study or a story, this account is an absorbing exploration of one of the most unusual and impor-tant examples of liberal education in the United States.”
—Katherine E. Chaddock, author of Visions andVanities: John Andrew Rice of Black Mountain College
“A thoroughly researched and fair -minded history of one of the world’s most unique colleges. I recommend it without reserva-tion to any and all who care about educa-tion and learning.”

American Indian TreatiesA Guide to Ratifi ed and Unratifi ed Colonial, United States, State, Foreign, and Intertribal Treaties and Agreements, 1607–1911
David H. DeJong
A comprehensive list of American Indian treaties and their historical context and meanings
When it comes to American Indian treaties, the American polity
too often forgets the realities of history. Prevailing perceptions are
often not only inaccurate but also premised on outright falsehoods.
Treaty-making was profoundly infl uenced by tribal conceptions of
diplomacy. Colonial and early U.S. treaties especially were clothed in
ritual, metaphor, and covenants that emphasized the sacred nature
and purpose of diplomacy and represented a time when tribal
nations were equal partners. To understand the nature and meaning
of tribal treaties one needs to read them and recognize their sacred
pledges and meaning, which are still relevant today.
This volume examines intertribal treaties and treaty -making
and provides understanding of both the agreements and the diplo-
matic protocols in which they were enmeshed. It summarizes colo-
nial Indian treaty discourse, intertribal treaties and diplomacy, the
diff erent eras of ratifi ed and unratifi ed U.S. treaties, foreign and state
treaties with Indian nations, and the Indian agreements that fol-
lowed the cessation of offi cial treaty -making. It provides extensive
lists of over 1,500 Indian treaties from all tribal diplomatic eras and
includes dates, participants, purposes, and references.
DAVID H. DEJONG is director of the Pima -Maricopa Irrigation Proj-
ect and has written extensively on the history of Gila River Indian
Community water rights. His publications include Forced to Abandon
Our Fields (University of Utah Press, 2011).
“This volume stands out not only for the additional entries of Indian documents supplementing the earlier works of Delo-ria Jr., Prucha, DeMallie, and Fixico, but also because DeJong draws the reader into his lengthy discussion of traditional Indian agreement protocols and rituals for suc-cessful bilateral negotiations.”
—Blue Clark, author of Lone Wolf v Hitchcock: Treaty Rights and Indian Law at the End of the Nineteenth Century
“This set of appendices alone will be worth the price of the book, as it is indeed the most detailed list I have seen. They refl ect careful attention to detail and years of patient collection and collating of documents.”

Native Wills from the Colonial AmericasDead Giveaways in a New World
Edited by Mark Christensen and Jonathan Truitt
Indigenous life under colonial rule as revealed through never -before -published wills and testaments
Native Wills from the Colonial Americas showcases new testamentary
sources from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. It provides
readers with translations and analyses of wills written in Spanish,
Nahuatl, Yucatec Maya, K’iche’ Maya, Mixtec, and Wampanoag.
Divided into three thematic sections, the book provides insights
and details that further our understanding of indigenous life in the
Americas under colonial rule. Part One employs testaments to high-
light the women of Native America and the ways their lives frequently
challenged prescribed gender roles and statuses. Part Two uses testa-
ments to illustrate the strategies of the elite in both negotiating and
maintaining their power in a colonial Spanish world. Part Three con-
tributes to our understanding of the individual and collective nature
of death by extracting from wills the importance of conversion, kin-
ship, and societal ties in the colonial Americas. Capturing individual
voices during dramatic periods of change, the documents presented
here help us understand how cultures both adapt and persist.
MARK CHRISTENSEN received his PhD from Penn State and is
an assistant professor of history at Assumption College. He is the
author of Nahua and Maya Catholicisms and Translated Christianities.
JONATHAN TRUITT received his PhD from Tulane University and
is currently an associate professor of colonial Latin American and
world history at Central Michigan University.
“This collection off ers a solid body of new scholarship on indigenous wills in the colo-nial Americas, as well as critical teaching tools for instructors in Latin Americanhistory and historical anthropology. For introductory courses, it provides access to transcribed primary source materials that off er key insights into indigenous social experiences during the sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries. For advanced courses, the articles exemplify the diver-sity of interpretive approaches that schol-ars are currently employing to make sense of a crucial category of materials.”

Rivers, Fish, and the People Tradition, Science, and Historical Ecology of Fisheries in the American West
Edited by Pei -Lin Yu
Presents new scientifi c and cultural data about the roles of Native peoples on river ecosystems throughout the American West
America’s western rivers are under assault from development, pollu-
tion, invasive species, and climate change. Returning these ecosystems
to the time of European contact is often the stated goal for restoration
eff orts, yet neither the infl uence of indigenous societies on rivers at the
time of contact nor the deeper evolutionary relationships are yet
understood by the scientifi c world. This volume presents a unique
synthesis of scientifi c discoveries and traditional knowledge about
the ecology of iconic river species in the American West.
Building from a foundation in fi sheries biology and life history
data about key species, the book reveals ancient human relation-
ships with those species and describes time -tested Native resource
management techniques, drawing from the archaeological record
and original ethnographic sources. It evaluates current research
trends, summarizes the conceptual foundations for the cultural
and evolutionary signifi cance of sustainable use of fi sh, and seeks
pathways for future research. Geographic areas described include
the Columbia Plateau, Idaho’s Snake River Plain, the Sacramento
River Delta, and the mid -Fraser River of British Columbia. Previously
unpublished information is included with the express permission
and approval of tribal communities. This approach broadens and
deepens the available body of data and establishes a basis for future
collaboration between scientists and Native stakeholders toward
mutual goals of river ecosystem health.
PEI -LIN YU is an ethnoarchaeologist who has worked for the U.S.
Forest Service, Bureau of Reclamation, and National Park Service.
She is currently a professor at Boise State University. She is the
author of Hungry Lightning: Notes of a Woman Anthropologist and
coeditor of The Archaeology and Ethnoarchaeology of Mobility and

“Outstanding. A solid, uniformly treated, set of case studies with a geographical, ecological, and cultural thread that ties them together, but with unique instances of technological, economic, and social adaptation to local conditions. A fi rst rate example of the diversity and com-plexity of human/nature interaction in a single region. This is a really important contribution.”

The Paleoarchaic Occupation of the Old River Bed DeltaUniversity of Utah Anthropological Papers No. 128

Synthesis and interpretation of ten years of archaeology and paleoecology along the Great Basin’s Old River Bed Delta
About 12,000 years ago, a major river ran from the Sevier Basin to the
Great Salt Lake, feeding a wetland delta system and creating riparian
habitat along its length. But after three thousand years the river dried
up and the surrounding lands became more like what we see today.
Because the Old River Bed Delta experienced less environmental and
human disturbance than other areas, many of the Paleoarchaic sites
found there have remained relatively intact—a rare fi nd in the Great
Basin. This book presents a comprehensive synthesis of a decade of
investigations conducted by research teams working in diff erent parts
of the delta and explores questions about how the old riverbed was
formed, how its distributary system changed through time, and how
these changes aff ected early foragers. It concludes with an integrated
summary and interpretation. Additional material from this study will
be available online at UofUpress.com.

Migration and Ethnicity in Middle -Range SocietiesA View from the Southwest
Tammy Stone
A case study of the complex social dynamics of migration and identity
Author Tammy Stone focuses on a number of general deliberations
on the archaeology of middle -range society and the prehistory of
the American Southwest. This includes the complex dynamics of
migration, identity, ethnic interaction, and the ability of archaeol-
ogists to identify these patterns in the archaeological record. The
integration and ultimate expulsion of a group of Kayenta Anasazi
at Point of Pines Pueblo in the Mogollon Highlands of east -central
Arizona provides a case study at the location where these themes
played out. Stone uses a detailed architectural analysis of the pueblo
to attain a nuanced and dynamic understanding of migration from
the perspective of both the Kayenta migrants and their Mogollon
hosts. By examining the choices that individuals, families, and small
groups made about identity and alliance from the perspective of
both the migrants and host community—the latter being an aspect
often missing from analyses of migration—this volume provides
never-before -published data on Point of Pines Pueblo and contrib-
utes considerably to the study of community dynamics at large.
TAMMY STONE is a professor of anthropology at the University of
Colorado, Denver. She has published numerous articles and three
books, including The Prehistory of Colorado and Adjacent Areas (Uni-
versity of Utah Press, 1999).

FOUNDATIONS OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL INQUIRY
Explorations in Behavioral ArchaeologyEdited by William H. Walker and James M. Skibo
Discusses the impact and contributions of behavioral archaeology to archaeology at large
Behavioral archaeology, defi ned as the study of people -object inter-
actions in all times and places, emerged in the 1970s, in large part
because of the innovative work of Michael Schiff er and colleagues.
This volume provides an overview of how behavioral archaeology
has evolved and how it has aff ected the fi eld of archaeology at large.
The contributors to this volume are Schiff er’s former students,
from his fi rst doctoral student to his most recent. This generational
span has allowed for chapters that refl ect Schiff er’s research from
the 1970s to 2012. They are iconoclastic and creative and approach
behavioral archaeology from varied perspectives, including archae-
ological inference and chronology, site formation processes, prehis-
toric cultures and migration, modern material culture variability, the
study of technology, object agency, and art and cultural resources.
Broader questions addressed include models of inference and def-
initions of behavior, study of technology and the causal perfor-
mances of artifacts, and the implications of artifact causality in
human communication and the fl ow of behavioral history.
WILLIAM H. WALKER is a professor of anthropology at New Mex-
ico State University. He is the co author of The Joyce Well Site: On the
Frontier of the Casas Grandes World (University of Utah Press, 2002)
and Expanding Archaeology (University of Utah Press, 1995).
JAMES M. SKIBO is Distinguished Professor of Anthropology at Illi-
nois State University. He is co editor of the Journal of Archaeologi-
cal Method and Theory, editor of the Foundations of Archaeological
Inquiry series, and author of numerous books on anthropology and
archaeology, including Ants for Breakfast (University of Utah Press,
1999).
“Well written, accessible, and current. The papers included here attest to the fact that behavioral archaeology is still very much alive and well. A welcome contribution to the general fi eld of archaeology.”

Language and Ethnicity among the K’ichee’ MayaSergio Romero
Explores the unbreakable link between language, history, and ethnicity in the Maya highlands
This book explores the articulation between “accent” and ethnic iden-
tifi cation in K’ichee’, a Mayan language spoken by more than one mil-
lion people in the western highlands of Guatemala. Based on years of
ethnographic work, it is the fi rst anthropological examination of the
social meaning of dialectal diff erence in any Mayan language. Romero
deconstructs essentialist perspectives on ethnicity in Mesoamerica
and argues that ethnic identifi cation among the highland Maya is
multiple and layered, the result of a diverse linguistic precipitate cre-
ated by centuries of colonial resistance.
In K’ichee’, dialect stereotypes (accents) act as linguistic markers
embodying particular ethnic registers. K’ichee’ speakers use and
recombine their linguistic repertoire—colloquial K’ichee’, tradi-
tional K’ichee’ discourse, colloquial Spanish, Standard Spanish, and
language mixing—in strategic ways to mark status and authority
and to revitalize their traditional culture. The book surveys literary
genres such as lyric poetry, political graffi ti, and radio broadcasts,
which express new experiences of Mayan -ness and anticolonial
resistance. It also takes a historical perspective in examining oral
and written K’ichee’ discourses from the sixteenth to the twenty -fi rst
centuries, including the famous chronicle known as the Popol Vuh,
and explores the unbreakable link between language, history, and
culture in the Maya highlands.
SERGIO ROMERO is an assistant professor and director of the Indig-
enous Language Initiative at the Center for Latin American Studies,
University of Texas at Austin. He has worked and lived with the Maya
for more than twenty years, especially with the K’ichee’ of highland
Guatemala, whose language he speaks fl uently.
“Adds signifi cantly to our understanding of the specifi c history and sociolinguistics of K’ichee’ in Guatemala. This book shows how careful analysis of the minutiae of daily interactive conversational practice encodes, indexes, reveals, and creates the social structure of a community.”
—Judith Maxwell, associate professor and head of the Interdisciplinary Linguistics Program at Tulane University
“Romero masterfully blends together three disciplines—ethnography, lin-guistics, and literary studies—to make a compelling argument about the interrela-tionship between language and ethnicity. His command of the language and his skill as a linguist shines throughout the book.”

Skeletal Biology and Bioarchaeology of the Northwestern PlainsEdited by George W. Gill and Rick L. Weathermon
Reveals a picture of Northwestern Plains prehistory and early history through skeletal and burial records
The prehistory and early history of the Northwestern Plains as told
by human bones is vivid and dramatic. The skeletal and burial record
spans thousands of years, a wide geographic expanse, and contains
important evidence of human existence in this vast region of North
America. This volume helps clarify the emerging picture.
Most of the contributions assembled here were initially pre-
sented as part of a symposium at the 2003 Plains Conference.
Twenty-one preeminent scholars, working across many fi elds within
bioarchaeology and skeletal biology—including paleopathology,
dental pathology, and human osteology—bring their expertise to
bear not only on prehistoric Native American burials, but on numer-
ous other case studies. They look at specifi c Wyoming samples of
pioneer-era burials, Indian War–era casualties, historic Chinese buri-
als, and remains from the Benick Ranch and the Korell-Bordeaux sites.
Reports on Crow Indian mummies from Montana and military burials
from Missouri and Nebraska continue the exploration into recent his-
toric times. Human burials provide a rich source of information about
people’s lives—who they were, what activities they pursued, and how
they may have participated in rituals of death and mourning.
GEORGE W. GILL is distinguished emeritus professor of anthro-
pology at the University of Wyoming.
RICK L. WEATHERMON is a senior research scientist in anthro-
pology at the University of Wyoming.
“Very few people, other than George Gill, could have planned and coordinated this in-depth study of the human skele-tal remains from both the prehistoric and early historic period of the Northwestern Plains . . . . This [is a] remarkable addition to the literature of what the early humans in this geographic area were like and what happened to them.”
—William M. Bass, University of Tennessee
“Even the casual history buff will fi nd the volume of interest for the stories it tells and the history it illuminates. The work is an exemplar of a scientifi c monograph. Hats off to George Gill and Rick Weather-mon for a job well done!”

Gasa Gasa Girl Goes to CampA Nisei Youth behind a World War II Fence
Lily Yuriko Nakai Havey
Foreword by Cherstin Lyon
In this creative memoir, Lily Havey
combines storytelling, water-
color, and personal photographs
to recount her youth in two Japa-
nese American internment camps
during World War II. She uses short
vignettes to describe how a ten -
year -old girl grew into a teenager
inside these camps. Enhanced by
vintage photographs and vivid,
sometimes startling watercolors,
Havey’s animated writing draws
readers into a turbulent era when
America disgracefully incarcer-
ated thousands of its own citi-
zens because of their race. In turns
funny, wrenching, touching, and
biting but consistently engross-
ing, these stories elucidate the daily
challenges of life in the camp.

Immigrants in the Far WestHistorical Identities and Experiences
Edited by Jessie L. Embry
and Brian Q. Cannon
This collection showcases the
cutting -edge research and innova-
tive approaches that a new gener-
ation of scholars is bringing to the
study of immigration in the Ameri-
can West. Often overlooked in gen-
eral studies of immigration, the
western United States has been and
remains an important destination.
The unique combination of ethnic-
ities and races in the West, com-
bined with political and economic
peculiarities, has given the region
an immigration narrative that
departs significantly from those of
the East and Midwest. This volume
explores facets of this narrative
with case studies that reveal how
immigration in the American West
has influenced the region’s devel-
opment culturally, economically,
socially, and politically.

Joseph’s TemplesThe Dynamic Relationship between Freemasonry and Mormonism
Michael W. Homer
The apparent parallels between
Mormon ritual and doctrine and
those of Freemasonry have long
been recognized, although each
organization has tended to down-
play the connection. In Joseph’s
Temples, Michael Homer reveals
how deeply the currents of each
movement entwined during the
early nineteenth century and how
the intellectual, social, and religious
ferment of the time influenced
them and placed them either in the
current or against the flow of main-
stream American culture and pol-
itics. Providing a comprehensive
examination of this dynamic rela-
tionship, the book makes a signif-
icant contribution to the history
of Mormonism, Freemasonry, and
their places in American history.

idly recounts the daily ups and
downs of prairie dog life in Bryce
Canyon National Park. As part of
John Hoogland’s long -term study,
Manno and other members of the
“Dog Squad” came to know the per-
sonalities and social structure of the
town’s inhabitants. Demonstrating
an unbridled passion for research,
Manno communicates the satis-
faction, excitement, and sadness
that comes with watching marked
individuals over time. His narra-
tive, accompanied by more than
150 photos by wildlife photogra-
pher Elaine Miller Bond, provides
a full overview of what is currently
known about Utah prairie dogs,
a species that is threatened with

of mountain life. His provocative
accounts of birds, insects, rodents,
predators, trees, and flowers are
sure to stir the reader’s curiosity.
The narratives, often brought home

ten about the canyon. A Zion
Canyon Reader is filled with liter-
ary and historical essays that pres-
ent diverse perspectives on Zion
Canyon and the surrounding area
as seen through the eyes of native
inhabitants, pioneer settlers, boost-
ers, explorers, artists, park rangers,
developers, and spiritual seekers.
The newest visitors to Zion and
those who return to the park again
and again will come to understand
what this place has meant to differ-
ent people over the centuries. As
readers learn about the plants, ani-
mals, geology, history, and people
of Zion Canyon, they will discover
unfamiliar corners of the park and
see favorite places in a new light.

Requiem for the LivingA Memoir
Jeff Metcalf
After nine years of keeping his
prostate cancer at bay, the drugs
were no longer working. Doctors
told him his time was nearly up.
Jeff Metcalf turned this diagno-
sis into motivation, tasking him-
self to write one essay every week
for a year. His collection of fifty -two
essays was chosen by the Utah Divi-
sion of Arts and Museums as the
winner of their 2012 Original Writ-
ing Competition and together they
form a memoir of sorts. Requiem for
the Living contains the best of these
essays, selected and reworked by
the author, who continues to defy
his medical prognosis. Often funny,
sometimes moving, profoundly per-
sonal, they draw from Metcalf’s rich
experience. He does not describe a
life defined by cancer but writes to
discover what his life has been, who
he has become, and what he has
learned along the way.
