Book Description
Ruben Sálaz M. has broadened the study of Southwest history to include multicultural aspects as well as important discussion items often neglected by various writers. As can be seen by a quick look at the Table of Contents, Epic of the Greater Southwest is a more complete history of the Southwest where documented facts take the reader where they may. Epic is intended for everyone interested in a valid introductory history to our eight Southwestern States but especially for readers young and old who wish to get beyond standard concepts of American historiography. If you are a fan of William H. Prescott, Herbert E. Bolton, Lesley B. Simpson, Lewis Hanke, Irving Leonard, Salvador de Madariaga, Philip Wayne Powell, Donald Cutter, Alvin Josephy Jr., Howard Zinn, James W. Loewen, Stewart Udall, etc., this volume might well become your Southwest history item. Epic of the Greater Southwest is a true adventure. "In the tradition of Howard Zinn (A People's History of the United States) and James W. Loewen (Lies My Teacher Told Me), Ruben Sálaz M. examines American historiography under a culturally broad magnifying glass and exposes its hidden assumptions and misapplications. Epic of the Greater Southwest is a useful corrective to the standard interpretation of history in the Southwest. The Sálaz Epic will not leave you unmoved and will certainly promote many lively discussions. I would love to be in on them."--Dr. Richard J. Griego, Presidential Professor Emeritus, University of New Mexico

Book Description
For his brilliant reportage ranging from the forested recesses of the Amazon to the manicured lawns of Westchester County, New York, Alex Shoumatoff has won acclaim as one of our most perceptive guides to the oddest corners of the earth. Now, with this book, he takes us on a kaleidoscopic journey into the most complex and myth-laden region of the American landscape and imagination. In this amazing narrative, Shoumatoff records his quest to capture the vast multiplicity of the American Southwest. Beginning with his first trip after college across the desert in a station wagon, some twenty-five years ago, he surveys the boundless variety of people and experiences constituting the place--the idea--that has become America's symbol and last redoubt of the "Other. From the Biosphere to the Mormons, from the deadly world of narcotraffickers to the secret lives of the covertly Jewish conversos, Shoumatoff explores the many alternative states of being who have staked their claim in the Southwest, making it a haven for every brand of refugee, fugitive, and utopian. And as he ventures across time and space, blending many genres--history, anthropology, natural science, to name only a few--he brings us a wealth of information on chile addiction, the diffusion of horses, the formation of the deserts and mountain ranges, the struggles of the Navajo to preserve their culture, and countless other aspects of this place we think we know. Full of profound sympathy and unique insights, Legends of the American Desert is a superbly rich epic of fact and reflection destined to take its place among such classics of regional portraiture as Ian Frazier's Great Plains. Alex Shoumatoff has created an exuberant celebration of a singularly American reality.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Conquest of the Southwest: The Story of a Great Spoliation So far as I know there is no book devoted entirely and specifically to the subject of this monograph, unless it be Jay's Review, referred to below, which has long been out of print. We have general histories in which the subject is treated at more or less length; and special histories, as of Texas or of the Mexican War, or of Slavery, in great number; as well as many biographies of the principal actors in the transactions hereinafter described. But there is no book with which I am acquainted which begins with the Treaty of 1819 and closes with the Compromise of 1850.
