"Pueblo Gods and Myths most noteworthy contribution is that it synthesizes much of the previous writings on the subject concentrating specifically on 'the gods and divine things.' . 'Must' reading for those interested in the Southwest, for ethnologists, and for students of comparative religion." ~ California Historical Society Quarterly. "A fascinating journey through the mind and cosmos of the Pueblo peoples, with compass points provided in analogy with ancient Greek religion, and with insights provided by such modern thinkers as Buber and Freud. This volume is a substantial contribution to the mythology of the Far West." ~Los Angeles Times. "Tyler shows us possibilities realized, a coherent harmonious society shaped and given body by people not unlike us. We rejoice." ~ The Nation. "Field experience and wide~ranging reading have given the author an unusual kind of authority. His descriptions of Pueblo rites and ceremonies, culled from interviews, observations, and other sources, blend into a decidedly fascinating account of the tribes' practices~perhaps the most readable and provocative one extant." ~Library Journal. "'Why do the Pueblos dance? An old quest for the answer is happily continued in company with one who had the capacity to absorb drumbeats and the emphatic imagination to leave the ranks of the observers and join those of the believers." ~ New Mexico Quarterly.

These caves, with their dramatic dripwater formations, winding tunnels, and huge caverns, played a major role in the ideology and world view of the Classic Maya. Considered to be the home of ancestors and of deities associated with the sun, moon, rain, wind, and corn, caves were a portal between the tangible human world and the invisible world of the gods. It was at this portal that the Maya performed their most sacred rituals. Bassie~Sweet argues that it is these cave rituals that are most often illustrated on Late Classic Maya sculpture. Scenes found on the sculpture frequently comprise both a hieroglyphic text and an image of an action. In discussing the relationship between text and image, this groundbreaking study defines a Late Classic framing convention used to indicate which of many events described in the text is illustrated in the image. It is demonstrated that the traditional interpretation of some of these scenes as accession events is incorrect, and that they in fact represent preaccession and Period Ending rituals. Bassie~Sweet further argues that some of the motifs found in the image, such as cauac monsters, sky bands, and serpents, symbolize the cave openings and tunnels where these rituals took place. According to the author, the texts indicate that members of the elite undertook a ritual circuit to several caves in the vicinity of their community much like that made by the modern highland Maya. The primary function of the sculptures is seen to be the public commemoration of private or semiprivate cave rituals performed by these Classic Maya. Seventy~eight line drawings and photographs of Late Classic Maya wall panels and stelae illustrate the text. From the Mouth of the Dark Cave, with its potential to force a full reconsideration of Maya art and, by implication, the entire field of Maya studies, will be of interest to archaeologists, anthropologists, art historians, iconographers and epigraphers, and all readers interested in Mesoamerican studies.

Softcover. grey & green pictorial wrappers w/ white & black printing. book x, 166 pgs w/ illustrations. Generously illustrated with concept development sketches as well as site plans, section drawings, full schematics, and photographs of finished buildings, this engaging volume focuses on "organic synthesis," the creative process that is architect Gunnar Birkerts's methodology and philosophy. Birkerts likens his organic approach to listening to music: the music must be heard as it unfolds; an attempt to perceive it all at once would reduce it to noise. Organic synthesis occurs as all aspects of a project present themselves: the building site, the building program and budget, available materials and technologies, emotional or intuitive content revealed through architect-client interaction. New/Sealed; may have rubbing to edges & corners from where publisher's wrap is worn.

Yet in the autumn of 1872 Brigadier General Oliver Howard and his aide~de~camp Lieutenant Joseph Alton Slalen, entered Arizona's rocky Dragoon Mountains in search of the elusive Chiricahua Apache chief. Accompanied only by a guide and two Apache scouts, they sought to convince Cochise that the bloody fighting between his people and the Americans must stop. After twelve years of war, Cochise had already reached that conclusion, but he had found no American official he could trust. Known as the Christian general during The Civil War General Howard was a man courage, honesty, and compassion. When he went bravely to visit Cochise, who later recalled that to do so might have caused his death, he won the Indian's sincere respect. Howards devoted aide, Joseph Sladen, maintained a Journal during their two~month quest from Fort Tularosa, New Mexico to Cochise's stronghold. During the time he spent with Cochise and his Chokonen band, Sladen had the opportunity to observe the chief among his people. A student of medicine and human nature, Sladen found much to admire in Apache culture. His anecdotes about Cochise offer a perspective on the man that no other account provides. Joseph Sladen's journal is a unique source on Chiricahua lifeways and an engrossing tale of travel and adventure. Enriched by Edwin R. Sweeney's introduction, epilogue, and lively notes, Making Peace with Cochise is both a tribute to the legendary chief and his people and a remembrance of two courageous officers who helped change the course of Apache~American relations.

About sixty~six years later, writing in pencil on Big Chief tablets, he remembered this move and his other western experiences through the year 1892, when he settled with his wife and children on the claim he had staked in the Cheyenne~Arapaho Run. In the intervening years, Laban was a freighter with his brother on the Santa Fe Trail and a cowpuncher in the Dodge City stockyards. He first encountered Indians on the banks of the Verdigris River in southern Kansas, learned the Osage language, and became an agency cook at Pawhuska. Later he worked in the Cherokee Outlet as a line rider for the T~5 and Spade ranches, eventually becoming a foreman. Because of Laban's firsthand knowledge of people and events, his account adds a new perspective to several infamous episodes. For example, he barely escaped the raid by Dull Knife and other Cheyenne warriors in 1878, and he knew the participants in the Medicine Lodge bank robbery, the Talbot raid at Caldwell, and the Potts~Franklin shootout on the T~5 Ranch. In addition, Laban recounted many affectionate and often humorous stories about Outlet ranchers such as Maj. Andrew Drumm, Outlet cowpunchers such as Charlie Siringo, Texas trail drivers such as "Shanghai" Pierce, and western writers such as Thomas McNeal of the Medicine Lodge Cresset, Scott Cummings (the "Pilgrim Bard"), and Pawnee Bill. But perhaps most memorable are Laban's stories of everyday cowboy life: herding cattle with his dog Shep, riding his favorite horses, and surviving the rigors encountered by everyone on the western range ~ tornadoes, rattlesnakes, cold and snow, outlaws, and hard work. Laban concludes, "The great open range that I knew so well, worked on so hard, and loved so much . [has] vanished, as have the signs of the old cow trail." Perhaps so, but thanks to Ellen Jayne Maris Wheeler's organization of these stories, and to Laban's colorful and entertaining writing, the readers of Cherokee Outlet Cowboy can still ride that range and see that old cow trail for themselves.

Their violent success stemmed from an almost unprecedented unity of disparate factions and sophistication of planning in secrecy. Freedom proved short~lived, as Spanish forces retook the colony in the 1690s. But the revolt stands as a vitally important yet neglected historical landmark: the only significant reversal of European expansion by Native American people in the New World. Combining thorough scholarship with compelling narrative, Andrew Knaut tells the story of the Pueblo Revolt and the events and forces that led to it. The revolt reveals much about both the upheavel Europeans brought to the Pueblo world and the change experienced by Europeans themselves as they interacted with their Indian subjects and neighbors. Exercising intimidation through military might, the newcomers disrupted Pueblo life in far~reaching ways. They commandeered the Indians' food stores, leaving them vulnerable to drought and famine, and exposed the Pueblos to new diseases that brought death on an unprecedented scale. Interrupting long~established trading relationships, the unwelcome newcomers also sparked increasing raids by surrounding Athapaskan nomads. Paradoxically, this chain of events forced the Pueblos to become dependent on the hated colonists for food and military protection. Yet the Europeans were vastly outnumbered. Through proximity and necessity they gradually conformed to local ways even as the Pueblos struggled to survive in their rapidly changing world. Because most soldiers and settlers were unmarried men, unions between Pueblos and Spaniards became commonplace. After four generations, the founding population was largely unrecognizable. And as the conquerors came to look increasingly like the conquered, their power of intimidation slowly waned. The confluence of these trends set the stage for the events of August 1680~ events that deserve a prominent place in American history.
