Making a Difference
My Fight for Native Rights and Social Justice
By Ada Deer with Theda Perdue
Foreword by Charles Wilkinson
This stirring memoir is the story of Ada Deer, the first woman to serve as head of
the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Deer begins, “I was born a Menominee Indian. That
is who I was born and how I have lived.” She proceeds to narrate the first eighty-
three years of her life, which are characterized by her tireless campaigns to reverse
the forced termination of the Menominee tribe and to ensure sovereignty and
self-determination for all tribes.
Massacre in Minnesota
The Dakota War of 1862, the Most Violent
Ethnic Conflict in American History
By Gary Clayton Anderson
In August 1862 the worst massacre in U.S. history unfolded on the Minnesota
prairie, launching what has come to be known as the Dakota War, the most
violent ethnic conflict ever to roil the nation. When it was over, between six and
seven hundred white settlers had been murdered in their homes, and thirty to forty
thousand had fled the frontier of Minnesota. But the devastation was not all on
one side. More than five hundred Indians, many of them women and children,
perished in the aftermath of the conflict; and thirty-eight Dakota warriors were
executed on one gallows, the largest mass execution ever in North America.
The horror of such wholesale violence has long obscured what really happened
in Minnesota in 1862—from its complicated origins to the consequences that
reverberate to this day. A sweeping work of narrative history, the result of forty

AMERICAN INDIAN/U.S. HISTORY Focusing on key figures caught up in the conflict—Indian, American, and Franco-
and Anglo-Dakota—Gary Clayton Anderson gives these long-ago events a striking
Of Related Interest immediacy, capturing the fears of the fleeing settlers, the animosity of newspaper
editors and soldiers, the violent dedication of Dakota warriors, and the terrible
struggles of seized women and children. Through rarely seen journal entries,
newspaper accounts, and military records, integrated with biographical detail,
Anderson documents the vast corruption within the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the
crisis that arose as pioneers overran Indian lands, the failures of tribal leadership
and institutions, and the systemic strains caused by the Civil War. Anderson

Tulsa, 1921
Reporting a Massacre
By Randy Krehbiel
Foreword by Karlos K. Hill
In 1921 Tulsa’s Greenwood District, known then as the nation’s “Black Wall
Street,” was one of the most prosperous African American communities in the
United States. But on May 31 of that year, a white mob, inflamed by rumors that a
young black man had attempted to rape a white teenage girl, invaded Greenwood.
By the end of the following day, thousands of homes and businesses lay in ashes,
and perhaps as many as three hundred people were dead.
Tulsa, 1921 shines new light into the shadows that have long been cast over this
extraordinary instance of racial violence. With the clarity and descriptive power
of a veteran journalist, author Randy Krehbiel digs deep into the events and their
aftermath and investigates decades-old questions about the local culture at the
SEPTEMBER
root of what one writer has called a white-led pogrom.

to the circumstances that led to the disaster and helped solidify enduring white Of Related Interest
justifications for it. Some historians have dismissed local newspapers as too biased
to be of value for an honest account, but by contextualizing their reports, Krehbiel
renders Tulsa’s papers an invaluable resource, highlighting the influence of news
media on our actions in the present and our memories of the past.

Arequipa Sanatorium
Life in California’s Lung Resort for Women
By Lynn Downey
As San Francisco recovered from the devastating earthquake and fire of 1906, dust
and ash filled the city’s stuffy factories, stores, and classrooms. Dr. Philip King
Brown noticed rising tuberculosis rates among the women who worked there,
and he knew there were few places where they could get affordable treatment. In
1911, with the help of wealthy society women and his wife, Helen, a protégé of
philanthropist Phoebe Apperson Hearst, Brown opened the Arequipa Sanatorium
in Marin County. Together, Brown and his all-female staff gave new life to
hundreds of working-class women suffering from tuberculosis in early twentieth-
century California.
Until streptomycin was discovered in the 1940s, tubercular patients had few
treatment options other than to take a rest cure at a sanatorium and endure its
painful medical interventions. For the working class and minorities, especially SEPTEMBER

Arequipa gave female doctors a place to practice, female nurses and social workers
a place to train, and white society women a noble philanthropic mission. Although
Arequipa was founded by a male doctor and later administered by his son, the
sanatorium’s mission was truly about the women who worked and recovered there,
and it was they who kept it going. DUDE RANCHING IN YELLOWSTONE COUNTRY

Foreword by Patricia Nelson Limerick
There’s “western,” and then there’s “Western”—and where history becomes myth
is an evocative question, one of several questions posed by Josh Garrett-Davis

Under Garrett-Davis’s careful observation, cultural objects such as films and
literature, art and artifacts, and icons and oddities occupy the terrain of where the
