Mary G. Boyer's _Arizona in Literature_, Glendale, California,
1934, is an anthology that runs toward six hundred pages.
_Texas Prose Writings_, by Sister M. Agatha, Dallas, 1936, OP,
is a meaty, critical survey. L. W. Payne's handbook-sized _A
Survey of Texas Literature_, Chicago, 1928, is complemented by
a chapter entitled "Literature and Art in Texas" by J. Frank
Dobie in _The Book of Texas_, New York, 1929. OP.
_A Guide to Materials Bearing on Cultural Relations in New
Mexico_, University of New Mexico Press, Albuquerque, 1944, is
so logical and liberal-minded that in some respects it amounts
to a bibliography of the whole Southwest; it recognizes the
overriding of political boundaries by ideas, human types, and
other forms of culture. The _New Mexico Quarterly_, published
by the University of New Mexico, furnishes periodically a
bibliographical record of contemporary literature of the
Southwest. _New Mexico's Own Chronicle_, edited by Maurice G.
Fulton and Paul Horgan (Dallas, 1937, OP), is an anthology
strong on the historical side.
In the lists that follow, the symbol OP indicates that the
book is out of print. Many old books obviously out of print
are not so tagged.

Indian Culture; Pueblos and Navajos
THE LITERATURE on the subject of Indians is so extensive and
ubiquitous that, unless a student of Americana is pursuing it,
he may find it more troublesome to avoid than to get hold of.
The average old-timer has for generations regarded Indian
scares and fights as the most important theme for
reminiscences. County-minded historians have taken the same
point of view. The Bureau of American Ethnology of the
Smithsonian Institution has buried records of Indian beliefs,
ceremonies, mythology, and other folklore in hundreds of
tomes; laborious, literal-minded scholars of other
institutions have been as assiduous. In all this lore and
tabulation of facts, the Indian folk themselves have generally
been dried out.
The Anglo-American's policy toward the Indian was to kill him
and take his land, perhaps make a razor-strop out of his hide.
The Spaniard's policy was to baptize him, take his land,
enslave him, and appropriate his women. Any English-speaking
frontiersman who took up with the Indians was dubbed "squaw
man"--a term of sinister connotations. Despite pride in
descending from Pocahontas and in the vaunted Indian blood of
such individuals as Will Rogers, crossbreeding between Anglo-
Americans and Indians has been restricted, as compared, for
instance, with the interdicted crosses between white men and
black women. The Spaniards, on the other hand, crossed in
battalions with the Indians, generating _mestizo_ (mixed-
blooded) nations, of which Mexico is the chief example.
As a result, the English-speaking occupiers of the land have
in general absorbed directly only a minimum of Indian
culture--nothing at all comparable to the Uncle Remus stories
and characters and the spiritual songs and the blues music
from the Negroes. Grandpa still tells how his own grandpa
saved or lost his scalp during a Comanche horse-stealing raid
in the light of the moon; Boy Scouts hunt for Indian
arrowheads; every section of the country has a bluff called
Lovers' Leap, where, according to legend, a pair of forlorn
Indian lovers, or perhaps only one of the pair, dived to
death; the maps all show Caddo Lake, Kiowa Peak, Squaw Creek,
Tehuacana Hills, Nacogdoches town, Cherokee County, Indian
Gap, and many another place name derived from Indian days. All
such contacts with Indian life are exterior. Three forms of
Indian culture are, however, weaving into the life patterns of
America.
(1) The Mexicans have naturally inherited and assimilated
Indian lore about plants, animals, places, all kinds of human
relationships with the land. Through the Mexican medium, with
which he is becoming more sympathetic, the gringo is getting
the ages-old Indian culture.
(2) The Pueblo and Navajo Indians in particular are impressing
their arts, crafts, and ways of life upon special groups of
Americans living near them, and these special groups are
transmitting some of their acquisitions. The special groups
incline to be arty and worshipful, but they express a salutary
revolt against machined existence and they have done much to
revive dignity in Indian life. Offsetting dilettantism, the
Museum of New Mexico and associated institutions and artists
and other individuals have fostered Indian pottery, weaving,
silversmithing, dancing, painting, and other arts and crafts.
Superior craftsmanship can now depend upon a fairly reliable
market; the taste of American buyers has been somewhat
elevated.
O mountains, pure and holy, give me
a song, a strong and holy song to bless
my flock and bring the rain!
This is from "Navajo Holy Song," as rendered by Edith
Hart Mason. It expresses a spiritual content in Indian life
far removed from the We and God, Incorporated form of religion
ordained by the National Association of Manufacturers.
(3) The wild freedom, mobility, and fierce love of liberty of
the mounted Indians of the Plains will perhaps always stir
imaginations--something like the charging Cossacks, the
camping Arabs, and the migrating Tartars. There is no romance
in Indian fights east of the Mississippi. The mounted Plains
Indians always made a big hit in Buffalo Bill's Wild West
Show. Little boys still climb into their seats and cry out
when red horsemen of the Plains ride across the screen.
See "Apaches, Comanches, and Other Plains Indians," "Mountain
Men."
APPLEGATE, FRANK G. _Indian Stories from the Pueblos_,
Philadelphia, 1929. Charming. OP.
ASTROV, MARGOT (editor), _The Winged Serpent_, John Day, New
York, 1946. An anthology of prose and poetry by American
Indians. Here are singular expressions of beauty and dignity.
AUSTIN, MARY. _The Trail Book_, 1918, OP; _One-Smoke Stories_,
1934, Houghton Mifflin, Boston. Delightful folk tales, each

COOLIDGE, DANE and MARY. _The Navajo Indians_, Boston, 1930.
Readable; bibliography. OP.
COOLIDGE, MARY ROBERTS. _The Rain-Makers_, Boston, 1929. OP.
This thorough treatment of the Indians of Arizona and New
Mexico contains an excellent account of the Hopi snake
ceremony for bringing rain. During any severe drought numbers
of Christians in the Southwest pray without snakes. It always
rains eventually--and the prayer-makers naturally take the
credit. The Hopis put on a more spectacular show. See Dr.
Walter Hough's _The Hopi Indians_, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, 1915.

CUSHING, FRANK HAMILTON. _Zuni Folk Tales_, 1901; reprinted,
1931, by Knopf, New York. _My Adventures in Zuni_, Santa Fe,
1941. _Zuni Breadstuff_, Museum of the American Indian, New
York, 1920. Cushing had rare imagination and sympathy. His
retellings of tales are far superior to verbatim recordings.
_Zuni Breadstuff_ reveals more of Indian spirituality than
any other book I can name. All OP.

Grant Foreman is prime authority on the so-called "Civilized
Tribes." University of Oklahoma Press has published a number
of excellent volumes in "The Civilization of the American
Indian" series.
GILLMOR, FRANCES, and WETHERILL, LOUISA WADE. _Traders to the
Navajos_, Boston, 1936; reprinted by University of New Mexico
Press, Albuquerque, 1952. An account not only of the trading

emphasis on their spiritual qualities.
GODDARD, P. E. _Indians of the Southwest_, New York, 1921.
Excellent outline of exterior facts. OP.

Indian nature. (With Bertha P. Dretton) _The Pueblo Indian
World_, University of New Mexico Press, Albuquerque, 1945.

Outstanding writing.
NELSON, JOHN LOUW. _Rhythm for Rain_, Boston, 1937. Based on
ten years spent with the Hopi Indians, this study of their
life is a moving story of humanity. OP.
PEARCE, J. E. _Tales That Dead Men Tell_, University of Texas
Press, Austin, 1935. Eloquent, liberating to the human mind;
something rare for Texas scholarship. Pearce was professor of
anthropology at the University of Texas, an emancipator from
prejudices and ignorance. It is a pity that all the college
students who are forced by the bureaucrats of Education--
Education spelled with a capital E--"the unctuous elaboration
of the obvious"--do not take anthropology instead. Collegians
would then stand a chance of becoming educated.
PETRULLO, VICENZO. _The Diabolic Root: A Study of Peyotism,
the New Indian Religion, among the Delawares_, University of
Pennsylvania Press, Philadelphia, 1934. The use of peyote has
now spread northwest into Canada. See Milly Peacock Stenberg's
_The Peyote Culture among Wyoming Indians_, University of
Wyoming Publications, Laramie, 1946, for bibliography.
REICHARD, GLADYS A. _Spider Woman_, 1934, and _Dezba Woman of
the Desert_, 1939. Both honest, both OP.
SIMMONS, LEO W. (editor). _Sun Chief: The Autobiography of a
Hopi Indian_, Yale University Press, New Haven, 1942. The
clearest view into the mind and living ways, including sex
life, of an Indian that has been published. Few
autobiographers have been clearer; not one has been franker. A
singular human document.

Apaches, Comanches, and Other Plains Indians
THE APACHES and the bareback Indians of the Plains were
extraordinary _hombres del campo--_men of the outdoors,
plainsmen, woodsmen, trailers, hunters, endurers. They knew
some phases of nature with an intimacy that few civilized
naturalists ever attain to. It is unfortunate that most of the
literature about them is from their enemies. Yet an enemy
often teaches a man more than his friends and makes him work
harder.
See "Indian Culture," "Texas Rangers."
BOURKE, JOHN G. _On the Border with Crook_, London, 1892.
Reprinted by Long's College Book Co., Columbus, Ohio. A truly
great book, on both Apaches and Arizona frontier. Bourke had
amplitude, and he knew.
BUCKELEW, F. M. _The Indian Captive_, Bandera, Texas, 1925.
Homely and realistic. OP.
CATLIN, GEORGE. _Letters and Notes on the Manners, Customs and
Conditions of the North American Indians, Written during Eight
Years' Travel, 1832-39_, 1841. Despite many strictures,
Catlin's two volumes remain standard. I am pleased to find
Frank Roe, in _The North American Buffalo_, standing up for
him. In _Pursuit of the Horizon: A Life of George Catlin,
Painter and Recorder of the American Indian_, New York, 1948,
Loyd Haberly fails in evaluating evidence but brings out the
man's career and character.
CLUM, WOODWORTH. _Apache Agent_, Boston, 1936. Worthy
autobiography of a noble understander of the Apache people.
OP.
COMFORT, WILL LEVINGTON. _Apache_, Dutton, New York, 1931.
Noble; vivid; semifiction.
DAVIS, BRITTON. _The Truth about Geronimo_, Yale University
Press, New Haven, 1929. Davis helped run Geronimo down.
DESHIELDS, JAMES T. _Cynthia Ann Parker_, St. Louis, 1886;
reprinted 1934. Good narrative of noted woman captive. OP.
DOBIE, J. FRANK. _The Mustangs_, Little, Brown, Boston, 1952.
The opening chapters of this book distil a great deal of
research by scholars on Plains Indian acquisition of horses,
riding, and raiding.
GRINNELL, GEORGE BIRD. _The Cheyenne Indians_, New Haven,
1923. This two-volume work supersedes _The Fighting
Cheyennes_, 1915. It is noble, ample, among the most select
books on Plains Indians. _Blackfoot Lodge Tales: The Story of
a Prairie People_, 1892, shows Grinnell's skill as storyteller
at its best. _Pawnee Hero Stories and Folk Tales_, 1893, is
hardly an equal but it reveals the high values of life held by
representatives of the original plainsmen. _The Story of the
Indian_, 1895, is a general survey. All OP. Grinnell's
knowledge and power as a writer on Indians and animals has not
been sufficiently recognized. He combined in a rare manner
scholarship, plainsmanship, and the worldliness of publishing.

HALEY, J. EVETTS. _Fort Concho and the Texas Frontier_, San
Angelo Standard-Times, San Angelo, Texas, 1952. Mainly a
history of military activities against Comanches and other
tribes, laced with homilies on the free enterprise virtues of
the conquerors.
LEE, NELSON. _Three Years among the Comanches_, 1859.
LEHMAN, HERMAN. _Nine Years with the Indians_, Bandera, Texas,
1927. Best captive narrative of the Southwest.
LOCKWOOD, FRANK C. _The Apache Indians_, Macmillan, New York,
1938. Factual history.
LONG LANCE, CHIEF BUFFALO CHILD. _Long Lance_, New York, 1928.
OP. Long Lance was a Blackfoot only by adoption, but his
imagination incorporated him into tribal life more powerfully
than blood could have. He is said to have been a North
Carolina mixture of Negro and Croatan Indian; he was a
magnificent specimen of manhood with swart Indian complexion.
He fought in the Canadian army during World War I and thus
became acquainted with the Blackfeet. No matter what the facts
of his life, he wrote a vivid and moving autobiography of a
Blackfoot Indian in whom the spirit of the tribe and the
natural life of the Plains during buffalo days were
incorporated. In 1932 in the California home of Anita Baldwin,
daughter of the spectacular "Lucky" Baldwin, he absented
himself from this harsh world by a pistol shot.
LOWIE, ROBERT H. _The Crow Indians_, New York, 1935. This
scholar and anthropologist lived with the Crow Indians to
obtain intimate knowledge and then wrote this authoritative
book. OP.
MCALLISTER, J. GILBERT. "Kiowa-Apache Tales," in _The Sky Is
My Tipi_, edited by Mody C. Boatright (Texas Folklore Society
Publication XXII), Southern Methodist University Press,
Dallas, 1949. Wise in exposition; true-to-humanity and
delightful in narrative.
MCGILLICUDDY, JULIA B. _McGillicuddy Agent_, Stanford
University Press, California, 1941. Dr. Valentine T.
McGillicuddy, Scotch in stubbornness, honesty, efficiency, and
indi-
vidualism, was U.S. Indian agent to the Sioux and knew them to
the bottom. In the end he was defeated by the army mind and
the bloodsuckers known as the "Indian Ring." The elements of
nobility that distinguish the man distinguish his wife's
biography of him.
MCLAUGHLIN, JAMES. My _Friend the Indian_, 1910, 1926. OP.
McLaughlin was U.S. Indian agent and inspector for half a
century. Despite priggishness, he had genuine sympathy for the
Indians; he knew the Sioux, Nez Perces, and Cheyennes
intimately, and few books on Indian plainsmen reveal so much
as his.
MARRIOTT, ALICE. _The Ten Grandmothers_, University of
Oklahoma Press, Norman, 1945. Narratives of the Kiowas--a
complement to James Mooney's _Calendar History of the Kiowa
Indians_, in Seventeenth Annual Report of the Bureau of
Ethnology, Washington, 1893. Alice Marriott, author of other
books on Indians, combines ethnological science with the art
of writing.
MATHEWS, JOHN JOSEPH. _Wah'Kon-Tah: The Osage and the White
Man's Road_, University of Oklahoma Press, 1932. This book of
essays on the character of and certain noble characters among
the Great Osages, including their upright agent Leban J.
Miles, has profound spiritual qualities.
NEIHARDT, JOHN G. _Black Elk Speaks_, New York, 1932. OP.
Black Elk was a holy man of the Ogalala Sioux. The story of
his life as he told it to understanding John G. Neihardt is
more of mysteries and spiritual matters than of mundane
affairs.
RICHARDSON, R. N. _The Comanche Barrier to the South Plains_,
Glendale, California, 1933. Factual history.
RISTER, CARL C. _Border Captives_, University of Oklahoma
Press, Norman, 1940.
RUXTON, GEORGE F. _Adventures in Mexico and the Rocky
Mountains_, London, 1847. Vivid on Comanche raids. See Ruxton
in "Surge of Life in the West."
SCHULTZ, J. W. _My Life as an Indian_, 1907. OP. In this
autobiographical narrative of the life of a white man with a
Blackfoot woman, facts have probably been arranged, incidents
added. Whatever his method, the author achieved a remarkable
human document. It is true not only to Indian life in general
but in particular to the life of a "squaw man" and his loved
and loving mate. Among other authentic books by Schultz is
_With the Indians of the Rockies_, Houghton Mifflin, Boston,
1912.
SMITH, C. L. and J. D. _The Boy Captives_, Bandera, Texas,
1927. A kind of classic in homeliness. OP.
VESTAL, STANLEY. _Sitting Bull_, Houghton Mifflin, Boston,
1932. Excellent biography. OP.
WALLACE, ERNEST, and HOEBEL, E. ADAMSON. _The Comanches: Lords
of the South Plains_, University of Oklahoma Press, Norman,
1952. A wide-compassing and interesting book on a powerful and
interesting people.
WELLMAN, PAUL I. _Death on the Prairie_ (1934), _Death in the
Desert_ (1935); both reprinted in _Death on Horseback_, 1947.
All OP. Graphic history, mostly in narrative, of the struggle
of Plains and Apache Indians to hold their homelands against
the whites.
WILBARGER, J. W. _Indian Depredations in Texas_, 1889;
reprinted by Steck, Austin, 1936. Its stirring narratives made
this a household book among Texans of the late nineteenth
century.

Spanish-Mexican Strains
THE MEXICAN Revolution that began in 1910 resulted in a rich
development of the native cultural elements of Mexico, the art
of Diego Rivera being one of the highlights of this
development. The native culture is closer to the Mexican earth
and to the indigenes than to Spain, notwithstanding modern
insistence on the Latin in Latin-American culture.
The Spaniards, through Mexico, have had an abiding influence
on the architecture and language of the Southwest. They gave
us our most distinctive occupation, ranching on the open
range. They influenced mining greatly, and our land titles and
irrigation laws still go back to Spanish and Mexican sources.
After more than a hundred years of occupation of Texas and
almost that length of time in other parts of the Southwest,
the English-speaking Americans still have the rich
accumulations of lore pertaining to coyotes, mesquites,
prickly pear, and many other plants and animals to learn from
the Mexicans, who got their lore partly from intimate living
with nature but largely through Indian ancestry.
See "Fighting Texians," "Santa Fe and the Santa Fe Trail."
AIKEN, RILEY. "A Pack Load of Mexican Tales," in _Puro
Mexicano_, published by Texas Folklore Society, 1935. Now
published by Southern Methodist University Press, Dallas.
Delightful.
ALEXANDER, FRANCES (and others). _Mother Goose on the Rio
Grande_, Banks Upshaw, Dallas, 1944. Charming rhymes in both
Spanish and English in charming form.
APPLEGATE, FRANK G. _Native Tales of New Mexico_,
Philadelphia, 1932. Delicious; the real thing. OP.
ATHERTON, GERTRUDE. _The Splendid Idle Forties_, New York,
1902. Romance of Mexican California.
AUSTIN, MARY. _One-Smoke Stories_, Boston, 1934. Short tales
of Spanish-speaking New Mexicans, also of Indians.
BANDELIER, A. F. _The Gilded Man_, New York, 1873. The dream
of El Dorado.
BARCA, MADAM CALDERON DE LA. _Life in Mexico_, 1843; reprinted
by Dutton about 1930. Among books on Mexican life to be ranked
first both in readability and revealing qualities.
BELL, HORACE. _On the Old West Coast_, New York, 1930. A
golden treasury of anecdotes. OP.
BENTLEY, HAROLD W. _A Dictionary of Spanish Terms in English_,
New York, 1932. In a special way this book reveals the
Spanish-Mexican influence on life in the Southwest; it also
guides to books in English that reflect this influence. OP.
BISHOP, MORRIS. _The Odyssey of Cabeza de Vaca_, New York,
1933. Better written than Cabeza de Vaca's own narrative. OP.
BLANCO, ANTONIO FIERRO DE. _The Journey of the Flame_, Boston,
1933. Bully and flavorsome; the Californias. OP.
BOLTON, HERBERT E. _Spanish Exploration in the Southwest_,
1916. The cream of explorer narratives, well edited. _Coronado
on the Turquoise Trail_ (originally published in New York,
1949, under the title _Coronado: Knight of Pueblos and
Plains_; now issued by University of New Mexico Press,
Albuquerque). By his own work and by directing other scholars,
Dr. Bolton has surpassed all other American
historians of his time in output on Spanish-American history.
_Coronado_ is the climax of his many volumes. Its fault is
being too worshipful of everything Spanish and too uncritical.
A little essay on Coronado in Haniel Long's _Pinon Country_
goes a good way to put this belegended figure into proper
perspective.
BRENNER, ANITA. _Idols Behind Altars_, 1929. OP. The pagan
worship that endures among Mexican Indians. _The Wind that
Swept Mexico: The History of the Mexican Revolution, 1910-
1942_, 1943, OP. _Your Mexican Holiday_, revised 1947. No
writer on modern Mexico has a clearer eye or clearer intellect
than Anita Brenner; she maintains good humor in her realism
and never lapses into phony romance.
CABEZA DE VACA'S _Narrative_. Any translation procurable. One
is included in _Spanish Explorers in the Southern United
States_, edited by F. W. Hodge and T. H. Lewis, now published
by Barnes & Noble, New York.
The most dramatic and important aftermath of Cabeza de Vaca's
twisted walk across the continent was Coronado's search for
the Seven Cities of Cibola. Coronado's precursor was Fray
Marcos de Niza. _The Journey of Fray Marcos de Niza_, by Cleve
Hallenbeck, with illustrations and decorations by Jose
Cisneros, is one of the most beautiful books in format
published in America. It was designed and printed by Carl
Hertzog of El Paso, printer without peer between the Atlantic
and the Pacific, and is issued by Southern Methodist
University Press, Dallas.
CASTAnEDA'S narrative of Coronado's expedition. Winship's
translation is preferred. It is included in _Spanish Explorers
in the Southern United States_, cited above.
CATHER, WILLA. _Death Comes for the Archbishop_, Knopf, New
York, 1927. Classical historical fiction on New Mexico.
CUMBERLAND, CHARLES C. _Mexican Revolution: Genesis under
Madero_, University of Texas Press, Austin, 1952.
Bibliography. To know Mexico and Mexicans without knowing
anything about Mexican revolutions is like knowing the
United States in ignorance of frontiers, constitutions, and
corporations. The Madero revolution that began in 1910 is
still going on. Mr. Cumberland's solid book, independent in
itself, is to be followed by two other volumes.
DE SOTO. Hernando de Soto made his expedition from Florida
north and west at the time Coronado was exploring north and
east. _The Florida of the Inca_, by Garcilaso de la Vega,
translated by John and Jeannette Varner, University of Texas
Press, Austin, 1951, is the first complete publishing in
English of this absorbing narrative.
DIAZ, BERNAL. _History of the Conquest_. There are several
translations. A book of gusto and humanity as enduring as the
results of the Conquest itself.
DOBIE, J. FRANK. _Coronado's Children_, 1930. Legendary tales
of the Southwest, many of them derived from Mexican sources.
_Tongues of the Monte_, 1935. A pattern of the soil of
northern Mexico and its folk. _Apache Gold and Yaqui Silver_,
1939. Lost mines and money in Mexico and New Mexico. Last two
books published by Little, Brown, Boston.
DOMENECH, ABBE. _Missionary Adventures in Texas and
Mexico_, London, 1858. Delightful folklore, though Domenech
would not have so designated his accounts.
FERGUSSON, HARVEY. _Blood of the Conquerors_, 1921. Fiction.
OP. _Rio Grande_, Knopf, New York, 1933. Best interpretations
yet written of upper Mexican class.
FLANDRAU, CHARLES M. _Viva Mexico!_ New York, 1909; reissued,
1951. Delicious autobiographic narrative of life in Mexico.
