Book Review: The Fred Jones Jr. Museum Of Art At The University Of Oklahoma: Selected Works, Gary Hood
Book Review: The Fred Jones Jr. Museum Of Art At The University Of Oklahoma: Selected Works, Gary Hood
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
In an effort to outline the depth of the collections of the University of Oklahoma Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, Selected Works is a genuine mix of many varying styles and media. After gifts of Asian art formed the beginnings of the OU art collection in the 1930s, a significant acquisition was made by founding director Oscar Jacobson in 1948 consisting of 117 American paintings from the "Advancing American Art" exhibition organized by the u.s. Department of State. Many of the works are illustrated. The paintings cover the gamut of American Modernism, including work by Georgia O'Keeffe, Romare Bearden, …
Book Review: Keeping Heart On Pine Ridge: Family Ties, Warrior Culture, Commodity Foods, Rez Dogs, And The Sacred, Harvey Markowitz
Book Review: Keeping Heart On Pine Ridge: Family Ties, Warrior Culture, Commodity Foods, Rez Dogs, And The Sacred, Harvey Markowitz
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
For most outsiders to South Dakota's Pine Ridge Reservation, the subtitle of Vic Glover's book will probably seem little more than an odd (and slightly blasphemous) melange of disassociated categories. For the Oglala Lakota residents of Pine Ridge, however, these categories are bound together by a cultural and spiritual logic embedded in their daily experiences. It is a testimony to Glover's status as a participant in and keen observer of Pine Ridge life that readers of the forty-four vignettes comprising his collection will come away with a deep appreciation of the strengths, weaknesses, tragedies, and joys that characterize this American …
Book Review: Flood Stage And Rising, Shiela Coghill
Book Review: Flood Stage And Rising, Shiela Coghill
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
Jane Varley's Flood Stage and Rising opens with what becomes the haunting echo of the narrative, "how far north should we go?" The "north" of the Great Plains impresses itself on Varley's consciousness immediately when she observes, "the land was flat. So flat it looked bizarre." In order to begin her PhD studies, she and her husband Gary move from one landscape (the lush greenery and hills of Virginia) to the rich diluvian river bed of Grand Forks, North Dakota. A Great Plains town that inspires tall tales, Grand Forks is built on the edge of the Red River, the …

Review Essay: Encyclopedia Of The Great Plains, Linda M. Hasselstrom
Review Essay: Encyclopedia Of The Great Plains, Linda M. Hasselstrom
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
The Encyclopedia of the Great Plains is a terrific soapbox for Plains historians, teachers, writers, and residents. I'm not referring only to its size-though standing on it would elevate one nicely for fervent speechmaking.
No, I mean it's the best advertisement I've seen lately for Great Plains reality. The nation's central region has been ignored, abused, misunderstood, and trampled. This collection represents the ardent efforts by the finest scholars in the country to analyze it with respect-even affection-and portray it without the romanticism that has colored too many views.
Book Review: Goodbye, Judge Lynch: The End Of A Lawless Era In Wyoming's Big Horn Basin, Stephen J. Leonard
Book Review: Goodbye, Judge Lynch: The End Of A Lawless Era In Wyoming's Big Horn Basin, Stephen J. Leonard
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
In Goodbye, Judge Lynch, John W. Davis details two early twentieth-century murder cases and their aftermaths in Wyoming's Big Horn Basin. In 1902, Jim Gordon killed his older brother, Thomas, supposedly because Jim coveted Thomas's wife, Margaret. The jury found Jim innocent of first- and second-degree murder, but convicted him of manslaughter. Jim demanded a new trial. The second jury convicted him of first-degree murder, a capital offense. Jim's attorney appealed to the Wyoming Supreme Court arguing that conviction of a greater offense in the second trail violated the U.S. Constitution's prohibition against double jeopardy.
Book Review: 6666: Portrait Of A Texas Ranch, Luther Smith
Book Review: 6666: Portrait Of A Texas Ranch, Luther Smith
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
This is a coffee-table book about a two-parcel ranch in the Plains of the Texas Panhandle owned by businesswoman and philanthropist Anne Marion. The 6666 ranch occupies 290,000 acres of Texas prairie. The informative text, which includes a foreword by Red Steagall and an afterword by Mike Gibson, the ranch foreman, contains a brief history of the ranch from its purchase in pieces in 1898 by legendary pioneer, businessman, and rancher Burk Burnett to its current stewardship by his great-granddaughter Anne Marion.
Book Review: Shadows On The Rock, Steven Trout
Book Review: Shadows On The Rock, Steven Trout
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
As James Woodress, Willa Cather's foremost biographer, remarks, "An historical novel laid in Quebec in the seventeenth century seems an unlikely product from the pen of Willa Cather." Unlikely and unwelcome, some readers might add. Indeed, Shadows on the Rock (1931) is perhaps the most forbidding of Cather's works. Plotless, slowly paced, and indifferent to the conventions of standard historical fiction, the novel focuses on a single year in the lives of two fictional characters-Euclide Auclair, an apothecary who has left his practice in Paris for the wilds of French Canada, and Cecile, his twelve-year-old daughter. Real-life figures, such as …
Book Review: Western Subjects: Autobiographical Writing In The North American West, Larry Ellis
Book Review: Western Subjects: Autobiographical Writing In The North American West, Larry Ellis
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
Prior to the middle of the twentieth century, North American autobiography was defined largely by chronological, full-life narratives written by and about "great men." Since then, the canons of "self-lifewriting" have expanded to include not only memoir, diary, and correspondence, but also genres as far afield as autoethnography, oral tradition, and pictography. In Western Subjects: Autobiographical Writing in the North American West, editors Kathleen A. Boardman and Gioia Woods chart contemporary theoretical and critical approaches to North American autobiography in an anthology of intriguing, cogent essays that explore how autobiographers construct, communicate, and perform self in relation to its …
Book Review: Stepping Twice Into The River: Following Dakota Waters, Gary Totten
Book Review: Stepping Twice Into The River: Following Dakota Waters, Gary Totten
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
During his year-long journey along North Dakota's Sheyenne River, Robert King travels not merely for pleasure or personal fulfillment but to share "local truth true in general," in the process discovering how North Dakota's "Nowhere" becomes "Everywhere." The book's title and controlling metaphor come from Heraclitus, who insisted that one cannot step into the same river twice. King, however, seeks to do just that, claiming that he intends to "step into the same river" as did French geograpJoseph Nicollet, who crossed the Sheyenne in the 1830s while mapping the Mississippi waterway.
Book Review: The Railroad And The State: War, Politics, And Technology In Nineteenth-Century America, James A. Ward
Book Review: The Railroad And The State: War, Politics, And Technology In Nineteenth-Century America, James A. Ward
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
Angevine's book is a thought-provoking new look at how the railroads affected the United States. Among other things, it promotes a fresh understanding of why the government took over the railways in 1917 to unsnarl traffic at eastern ports.
Book Review: Tell Me, Grandmother: Traditions, Stories, And Cultures Of Arapaho People, Loretta Fowler
Book Review: Tell Me, Grandmother: Traditions, Stories, And Cultures Of Arapaho People, Loretta Fowler
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
Organized as a series of "imagined conversations" between Virginia Sutter and her great-grandmother Goes In Lodge (1830-76), Tell Me, Grandmother presents in alternating chapters Goes In Lodge's and Sutter's recollections of their life experiences.
Book Review: One Soldier's Story: A Memoir, Burdett A. Lewis
Book Review: One Soldier's Story: A Memoir, Burdett A. Lewis
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
Bob Dole's story is a familiar one, by dint of his long political career and three attempts to win the presidency. The Depression-era Kansas boy grows up in the Heartland and heads to the state university to pursue sports, academics, and ultimately a medical career. Drafted into the army, he's grievously wounded in the waning days of World War Two. After a remarkable and agonizing recovery, he enters politics and climbs the ladder to lead the Senate and come within a hairbreadth of the Oval Office.
Book Review: A Common Humanity: Kansas Populism And The Battle For Justice And Equality, 1854-1903, Jeffrey A. Johnson
Book Review: A Common Humanity: Kansas Populism And The Battle For Justice And Equality, 1854-1903, Jeffrey A. Johnson
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
Across the landscape of modern American politics, the "Populist moment," as Lawrence Goodwyn's 1976 study labeled it, has fascinated scholars. Indeed, late nineteenth-century Populism posed a vocal and effectual political voice for Gilded Age America's discontented. Since his original 1969 study, Kansas Populism: Ideas and Men, O. Gene Clanton has meticulously examined the fundamental role of Kansa, Populists in shaping local and national politics. A Common Humanity, with great efficacy, revisits and reinterprets Kansas's Populism as a fight for fundamental working-class rights and agrarian values, amidst industrialization gone awry.
Book Review: The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story Of Those Who Survived The Great American Dust Bowl, Pamel Riney-Kehrberg
Book Review: The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story Of Those Who Survived The Great American Dust Bowl, Pamel Riney-Kehrberg
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
Egan's The Worst Hard Time is a literary and journalistic treatment of the Dust Bowl's impact on the southern Great Plains. He follows the history of the region from the agricultural development of the early twentieth century through the events of the 1930s, focusing on the states of Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Texas.
Book Review: Horizons West: Directing The Western From John Ford To Clint Eastwood, Joanna Hearne
Book Review: Horizons West: Directing The Western From John Ford To Clint Eastwood, Joanna Hearne
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
First published in 1969, Horizons West was one of the early structuralist treatments of a Hollywood genre and a pivotal text in American writing on the Western. Borrowing from anthropological studies of myth, Kitses outlined a series of binary oppositions between the individual and the community, nature and culture, the West and the East, and wedded this thematic outline to a stylistic exploration of three directors: Anthony Mann, Budd Boetticher, and Sam Peckinpah. The book signaled serious academic consideration of Westerns not only as a legitimate art form but also as a complex and meaningful expression of American cultural history. …

Which Place, What Story?: Cultural Discourses At The Border Of The Blackfeet Reservation And Glacier National Park, Donal Carbaugh, Lisa Rudnick
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
Among every known people, places are named, and in every known place, stories are told. Yet as one place, Jerusalem, makes so abundantly clear, the meanings of the place and the variety of stories attached to it can derive from a variety of traditions and can lead in many different directions. Just as various pilgrims are drawn to some sacred places, so do all people, in all places, come to know the meanings of at least some places through names, with the stories about them capturing their deeper significance, from the sacred to the mundane. Yet for each such place, …
Book Review: At Home On This Moveable Earth, David R. Pichaske
Book Review: At Home On This Moveable Earth, David R. Pichaske
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
In this third of a projected four-book memoir, William Kloefkorn examines his late high school and early college years, a time of physical growth and intellectual exploration, of redefining relationships with parents and community, and of laying the foundation for his career as a teacher, scholar, and Nebraska State Poet. Adolescence is the time for what Robert Bly aptly calls "the road of ashes," a period of metaphorical "basement work in the kitchen" (Iron John: A Book About Men). Kloefkorn's reminiscences focus on basement and earth and tedious physical exertion: excavating a foundation for the Zenda Co-op Grain …

Book Review: True Women And Westward Expansion, Jimmy L. Bryan, Jr.
Book Review: True Women And Westward Expansion, Jimmy L. Bryan, Jr.
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
With True Women and Westward Expansion, Adrienne Caughfield examines the contributions that Texas women made to the meanings and achievement of U.S. expansion between 1820 and 1860. She argues that they did so in two ways. First, they embraced nineteenth-century ideas of feminine domesticity with which they sought to civilize the wilderness. Second, a select few like Jane McManus Storm Cazeneau, Mary Austin Holley, and Lucy Holcombe Pickens supported expansion with their public writings. ''At its heart," Caughfield explains, "expansionist philosophy closely paralleled domesticity so that adherents to the latter tended to accept the former. The true woman, then, …
Book Review: Approaches To Teaching Louise Erdrich, Julie Barak
Book Review: Approaches To Teaching Louise Erdrich, Julie Barak
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
That a critical vocabulary has been established for addressing Louise Erdrich's body of work is quite evident in Approaches to Teaching Louise Erdrich. Key words in the Erdrich lexicon- syncretic, hybridize, amalgamate, mediate, integrate, dialogic, accretive, connective, merging, blurring, webbed, multivoiced, transformative- echo throughout the collection and stamp the text's theoretical approach to her oeuvre. There are two common pedagogical themes that dominate the essays. Teachers elaborate on ways to help students understand the challenges to hegemonic views of culture, history, gender, and religion that Erdrich, drawing upon an imagination nourished by her ethnic and cultural identity as a …
Book Review: The Western Pursuit Of The American Dream: Selections From The Collection Of Kenneth W. Rendell, Ron Tyler
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
Like many other lovers of the West, collector and dealer Kenneth Rendell was inspired by his childhood experiences in nature-in his case, his family's annual summer stay at a lakeside cabin sans utilities north of Boston. It was nurtured by his firsthand acquaintance with the original materials of history when he began his dealership in 1959, flourished in his friendship with historian Stephen Ambrose, and reaches its zenith with the stunning collection of materials he shared in a 2004-05 exhibition at the National Heritage Museum in Lexington, MA, and published in this book.
Book Review: Challenging Frontiers: The Canadian West, Molly P. Rozum
Book Review: Challenging Frontiers: The Canadian West, Molly P. Rozum
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
"To me what is most important is to come to grips with both colonial history and contemporary life," writes Emma LaRocque in her essay, "When the 'Wild West' Is Me," on de-mythologizing the cowboys and Indians of popular culture. What makes this new collection fresh is its emphasis on connections between past and present communities in the Canadian West. Eighteen thought-provoking articles are organized in three parts: "Images of the West," "Challenging Western History and Frontier Myth-Making," and "New Frontiers." A scholarly introduction and editorial analyses between the various sections bind the articles to key themes of community building and …
Fields Of Opportunity: Wind Machines Return To The Plains, Jacob Sowers
Fields Of Opportunity: Wind Machines Return To The Plains, Jacob Sowers
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
The last two decades have seen a rebirth of wind machines on the rural landscape. In ironic fashion the wind's kinetic energy has grown in significance through its ability to generate commercial amounts of electricity, the commodity that a few generations earlier hastened the demise of the old Great Plains windmill. Yet the reemergence of wind machines on the landscape has been slowed by local opposition. Many places across the country have seen resistance to the construction of vast wind turbine arrays. Although wind energy fulfills both the businessman's requirement for profit and the environmentalist's desire for clean electrical production, …
Book Review: Travelling Knowledges: Positioning The Immigrant Reader Of Aboriginal Literatures In Canada, Rob Appleford
Book Review: Travelling Knowledges: Positioning The Immigrant Reader Of Aboriginal Literatures In Canada, Rob Appleford
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
Canadian Aboriginal writing has blossomed in the past two decades and made a major contribution to the cultural life of both Aboriginal peoples and the general public. Given this wealth, it becomes necessary for the non-Aboriginal literary critic to develop sensitive models for approaching this creative and critical work, both in the classroom and in academic research. The question becomes: how can a non-Aboriginal critic use her "outsider" status in an enabling way when teaching and studying this culturally-specific material? In Travelling Knowledges: Positioning the 1m/Migrant Reader of Aboriginal Literatures in Canada, Renate Eigenbrod has attempted to use her …
Book Review: No One Ever Asked Me: The World War Ii Memoirs Of An Omaha Indian Soldier, Kenneth W. Townsend
Book Review: No One Ever Asked Me: The World War Ii Memoirs Of An Omaha Indian Soldier, Kenneth W. Townsend
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
No One Ever Asked Me is the memoir of a rather typical American Indian veteran of World War II. Like most of the 25,000 Native American servicemen, Hollis Stabler was not a code talker. His reasons for enlistment mirrored the diverse motivations found among Indians spread across the Great Plains and Southwest, and the acceptance he received from non-Indians and his record of service were equally representative. Common to most Native American servicemen, Stabler walked in two worlds. His spirit was that of an Omaha Indian, and he cherished his cultural values and traditions; his daily existence, however, was in …

Book Review: Indian Country: Essays On Contemporary Native Culture, William Asikinack
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
In examining this volume, I came to realize very quickly that Valaskakis is following the style of a traditional North American Indigenous person whom we are meeting for the first time. By way of introduction, she speaks about her family and family life, in a narrative style, in chapter 1. She finishes the book by going full circle and returning to how we are "all related."
