Spanning two and a half centuries, from the earliest contacts in the 1540s to the crumbling of Spanish power in the 17908, Storms Brewed in Other Men's Worlds is a panoramic view of Indian peoples and Spanish and French intruders in the early Southwest. The primary focus is the world of the American Indian, ranging from the Caddos in the east to the Hopis in the west, and including the histories of the Pueblo, Apache, Navajo, Ute, and Wichita peoples. Within this region, from Texas to New Mexico, the Comanches played a key, formative role, and no less compelling is the story of the Hispanic frontier peoples who weathered the precarious, often arduous process of evolving coexistence with the Indians on the northern frontier of New Spain. First published in 1975, this second edition includes a new preface and afterword by Elizabeth A. H. John, in which she discusses current research issues and the status of the Indian peoples of the Southwest.
Elizabeth A.H. John, of Austin, Texas, is an independent historian engaged in research and writing, consultation, and lectures. Her primary interests lie in the history of the American Indian, the Hispanic Borderlands, and the interplay of Indian and European cultures. She has taught at Sacramento State University and at the University of Oklahoma, where she received her doctorate in history. She is the author of Storms Brewed in Other Men's Worlds: The Confrontation of Indians, Spanish, and French in the Southwest, 1540-1795 and numerous articles on Indian topics. She is the editor of José Cortés's Views from the Apache Frontier: Report on the Northern Provinces of New Spain, 1799 (University of Oklahoma Press).
