When Money Grew on Trees

When Money Grew on Trees

A. B. Hammond and the Age of the Timber Baron

by Greg Gordon

Born in 1848, Andrew Benoni Hammond built an empire of wood that stretched from Puget Sound to Arizona—and in the process had reshaped the American West and the nation’s way of doing business. When Money Grew on Trees follows Hammond from the rough-and-tumble world of mid-nineteenth-century New Brunswick to frontier Montana and the forests of Northern California—from lowly lumberjack to unrivaled timber baron.

Lest We Forget

Lest We Forget

World War I and New Mexico

by David V. Holtby

Although New Mexicans’ wartime efforts were in some ways unique, their story ultimately provides a revealing glimpse of the experiences of all Americans during World War I. A timely reminder of the courage and tragedy that accompany full-scale modern warfare, Lest We Forget reminds us of the enduring legacy of a vast international conflict that had keenly felt and long-lasting repercussions back home.

Wellington's Two-Front War

The Peninsular Campaigns, at Home and Abroad, 1808–1814

by Joshua Moon

Recuerdos

Recuerdos

Historical and Personal Remembrances Relating to Alta California, 1769–1849 (2 Volume Set)

by Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo

Edited and translated by Rose Marie Beebe and Robert M. Senkewicz

Out of keeping with Bancroft’s American triumphalism, Vallejo’s monumental project was consigned to the archives, where it has remained for well over a century. With their deft translation and commentary, Rose Marie Beebe and Robert M. Senkewicz—authors of a companion volume on Vallejo’s work—have brought to light a remarkable perspective, often firsthand, on important events in early California history. Their efforts restore a critical chapter to the story of California and the American West.

The Search for the First Americans

The Search for the First Americans

Science, Power, Politics

by Robert V. Davis

Fossil remains from Mesa Verde, Clovis, and other sites testify to the presence of First Americans. What remains unsettled, as The Search for the First Americans makes clear, is not only who these people were, where they came from, and when, but also the very nature and practice of the science searching for answers.

Patrick Connor's War

The 1865 Powder River Indian Expedition

by David E. Wagner

The summer of 1865 marked the transition from the Civil War to Indian war on the western plains. With the rest of the country’s attention still focused on the East, the U.S. Army began an often forgotten campaign against the Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapaho. Led by Gen. Patrick Connor, the Powder River Indian Expedition into Wyoming sought to punish tribes for raids earlier that year. Patrick Connor’s War describes the troops’ movement into hostile territory while struggling with bad weather, supply shortages, and communication problems.
