Published in conjunction with an acclaimed new exhibition at the Navajo Nation Museum, this landmark volume explores the complex social, cultural, and political transformations across the Navajo Nation during the critical livestock-reduction period as documented through the extraordinary photography of Milton Snow.Milton Snow was a non-Native photographer hired to document Bureau of Indian Affairs Commissioner John Colliers paternalistic federal Indian policies, which were intended not only to rehabilitate the land through the elimination of up to 50 percent of Navajo livestock but to introduce and reinforce the use of Western logics and technologies. The images Snow captured from 19371959 offer windows to a complex past.Featuring over two hundred archival illustrations and photographic plates from the Navajo Nation Museum, the University of New Mexicos Maxwell Museum of Anthropology, and the Museum of Northern Arizona, this volume privileges the voices of Dine scholars, artists, community members, and allies. The seventeen contributors to the first-ever publication of the Navajo Nation Museums Milton Snow Photography Collection explore themes of landscape and home; education, nation, and democracy; community and kinship; refusal and resistance; and visual sovereignty and critical archival studies. Here, Denetdale and McEnaney merge deep historical context and archival research with Dine knowledge systems, oral histories, and community-based relationships, situating the archive as a site for renewed storytelling and sovereignty.

For Civil War enthusiasts, the collected writings of a long-neglected figure who was crucial to the pivotal Civil War years in New Mexico.From Jerry Thompson, the preeminent historian of the Civil War in the American Southwest, When All Our Troubles Will be Forgotten presents the collected writings of an important and long-neglected Civil Warera figure in New Mexico.As the unofficial historian of the California Column, George Henry Pettis was a firsthand witness to a series of important historic events, including the march of Californians to New Mexico, the Confederate invasion of New Mexico, and the Indian Wars in the region.By the time Pettis arrived on the Rio Grande, the Civil War in the Southwest had evolved into a radically different conflict from what he envisioned when he enlisted in the Union Army in 1861. Over the course of five years and fifteen days in the California and New Mexico infantry, Pettis marched an astonishing 4,245 miles across Arizona, New Mexico, and West Texas while suffering through sweltering summer heat and frigid winter coldlikely a greater distance than any soldier in the entire Union Army. The climax of Pettiss career came at the Battle of Adobe Walls when he found himself in command of two small artillery pieces in Colonel Christopher Kit Carsons vain, ill-advised, and far-reaching punitive expedition on the Texas plains against the Comanche and Kiowa.Pettis adeptly records the monotony of garrison life at remote military posts in the desert of West Texas as well as the army headquarters at Fort Marcy in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and the Union fortresses of Fort Craig and Fort Union. In his letters, Pettis details the high drama of a mutiny and hanging at Mesilla, the freeing of a young Indigenous woman at Algodones, the tragic drowning of soldiers in a Rio Grande flood, and the defense of a colleague in a Santa Fe murder trial.Jerry D. Thompsons introductory essay provides a definitive biography of Pettis, and his invaluable annotations offer detailed background on the people, places, and events mentioned in Pettiss writings.
