The American West: A New Interpretive History

6 reviews
Robert V. Hine, John Mack Faragher

Yale University Press, 2000

A very good book, whose point of view will irritate many
On its own terms, this book is a huge success. It synthesizes the past 30 years of serious historical research which revolutionized the presentation of the history of the American West by rescuing the experiences of groups who had been relatively ignored by standard interpretations. Indians, women, blacks, Latinos, Asians, workers are dealt with at length and with sympathy. The research of ...

Following Sarah Royce (a woman who truly existed) in a work of historical fiction

"I Have Seen the Fire" is a splice of reality and fiction, following Sarah Royce (a woman who truly existed) in a work of historical fiction. Telling of her family's journey west, "I Have Seen the Fire" is an eye-opening look at the harsh journey and trials people undertook for a ...

no title
Boy! I thought I'd never finish this book! Had it with me on a covered wagon trip in Montana - 416 pages of small print. Writings from all sorts of people, lettered and not, about the American West in all phases. I sent the entire chapter on the cattle frontier to one of the men who helped run our trip. On the whole, informative, but dry. Not as readable as "The Plains Across" by John D. ...

Sun Chief: The Autobiography of a Hopi Indian (The Lamar Series in Western History)

6 reviews
Don "Sun Chief" Talayesva

Yale University Press, 1963

Insight into turn-of-the-century Hopi
I enjoyed this book so much that I finished it in a couple of days. In my opinion, Don Talayesva is a charming narrator. His sometimes humorous, many times heart-breaking recollections underscores the tremendous cultural, social and religious upheavals the Hopi tribe were going through at the beginning of the 20th century, as no anthropological or historical work could ever do.

Autobiography of a Los Angeles Newspaperman 1874-1900
William Andrew Spalding

Huntington Library Press, 2007

As a young man barely in his twenties, William Andrew Spalding arrived in Los Angeles in 1874 and obtained his first job on the Herald by writing an editorial on the dilapidated state of the Plaza. From that date to 1900 his life was intimately associated with the newspapers of his city--the Express and the Times, as well as the Herald --and he worked in almost every capacity for them: reporter, business manager, and editor. Spalding ...
