Pueblo Sovereignty

Pueblo Sovereignty

Indian Land and Water in New Mexico and Texas

by Malcolm Ebright and Rick Hendricks

Over five centuries of foreign rule—by Spain, Mexico, and the United States—Native American pueblos have confronted attacks on their sovereignty and encroachments on their land and water rights. How five New Mexico and Texas pueblos did this, in some cases multiple times, forms the history of cultural resilience and tenacity chronicled in Pueblo Sovereignty.

Bitter Waters

The Struggles of the Pecos River

by Patrick Dearen

The first book-length environmental study ever produced on this 926-mile Pecos River, this work combines a historical overview of the river from the first arrival of European explorers and settlers in the sixteenth century with an investigation of the environmental issues facing the river today.

The Oilman’s Barrel

The Oilman's Barrel

by Robert E. Hardwicke

This book is of more than ordinary significance, for it tends to consolidate, in interesting and easily understandable terms, the history and definitions, not only of the now-standard oil barrel but also of the units that make it up and the legal pitfalls connected with it. It is a story full of oil-drilling lore—about odd-sized barrels in wagons for transporting the newly discovered petroleum in Pennsylvania in 1859; about Benedict Hagan, who supplied many an empty whiskey barrel to the producers at Oil Run; about Nelly Bly, who is more redoubtable to the oil industry for having been the “mother of steel barrels” than for besting Phileas Fogg’s time in circling the globe; about the scientific struggle for accuracy in gauging oil.
