Sinopsis

In 'The Tusayan Ritual: A Study on the Influence of Environment on Aboriginal Cults,' Jesse Walter Fewkes meticulously examines the intersection of environmental factors and indigenous spiritual practices in the Tusayan region of Arizona. Employing an ethnographic lens, Fewkes details the ceremonial life of the Hopi people, articulating how their rituals are deeply intertwined with the landscape, climate, and ecology of their surroundings. His scholarly work is characterized by a clear, descriptive style that blends vivid narrative with analytical rigor, offering insight into the complex relationships between culture and environment within the context of Native American spirituality. Jesse Walter Fewkes, an esteemed American anthropologist, was profoundly influenced by his experiences with indigenous communities in the Southwest. His pioneering fieldwork and a commitment to preserving aboriginal traditions stemmed from a broader interest in anthropology and ethnology prevalent during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Fewkes'Äôs work reflects both a reverence for the cultures he studied and a scientific curiosity, positioning him as a crucial figure in the understanding of Native American religious life. This book is an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of anthropology, Native American studies, and ritual practices. Fewkes's detailed observations and analyses not only inform our understanding of Hopi rituals but also inspire broader reflections on how cultural expressions are shaped by specific environmental contexts. A thoughtful read for anyone interested in the intricate dynamics between culture and ecology.

  • America's Legendary Frontier Towns: The History of Tombstone Deadwood and Dodge City - cover

    America's Legendary Frontier...

    The Wild West has made legends out of many men, but it has forged a lasting legacy for the city of Tombstone, Arizona, a frontier boomtown that has come to symbolize everything about the Old West. In many ways, Tombstone fit all the stereotypes associated with that era in American history. A dusty place on the outskirts of civilization, Tombstone brought together miners, cowboys, lawmen, saloons, gambling, brothels, and everything in between, creating an environment that was always colorful and occasionally fatal. 	Those characteristics might not have distinguished Tombstone from other frontier outposts like Deadwood in the Dakotas, but some of the most famous legends of the West called Tombstone home for many years, most notably the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday. And ultimately, the relationships and rivalries forged by those men in Tombstone culminated in the legendary Gunfight at the O.K. Corral on October 26, 1881. 
    	The mining town of Deadwood quickly sprung up as prospectors descended on the area, even though the federal government had ordered military troops to set up posts there to keep prospectors out. Men like Al Swearengen and Charlie Utter came to make fortunes one way or another, Calamity Jane amused and irritated the townspeople in equal measure, and the legendary Wild Bill Hickok was shot and killed in one of Deadwood’s saloons while holding the “Dead Man’s Hand” by “the coward McCall.”  
    By 1876, however, Dodge City had become a popular destination spot for cattle drives starting from as far south as Texas, earning itself the nickname “The Cowboy Capital of the World”. With that, the town also came to symbolize everything about the Old West. Dodge City brought together cowboys, lawmen, saloons, gambling, brothels, and everything in between, creating an environment that was always colorful and occasionally fatal. Since Dodge City was on the frontier, it took awhile for the law to catch up to it.

    No part of America scars its children as does the south. 
     
     
     
    In this incandescent memoir, Robert Coram tells how a rough-edged boy escaped from a nowhere little town in rural southwest Georgia and became an accomplished writer. 
     
     
     
    With a flawless ear and an unblinking eye, Coram escorts us across a unique landscape, capturing the nuances of life in a small southern town during the 1950s, not by writing of the romantic south, but rather of a south that can be narrow and harsh and brutal. He takes on the big issues: race, religion, love, death, and family values. His coming-of-age story is troubling, sometimes embarrassing, but always hilarious. 
     
     
     
    As a native son, Coram captures in pitch-perfect tone the voice of a teenage boy, a new voice from the old south. 
     
     
     
    Coram holds nothing back. No part of his early life is too embarrassing or too personal, including losing his virginity in a church and public beatings by his father. Though centered on Coram's long-suffering mother, his brutal father, and his dog that lived in hope, the main feature of his story may be the humor. Rarely does a writer draw so much humor from such a harsh childhood. His story will linger in your heart.
