The Medicine-Men of the Apache - Illustrated Edition

John G. Bourke

Sinopse

In "The Medicine-Men of the Apache," John G. Bourke offers a groundbreaking ethnographic exploration of the spiritual and healing practices among the Apache tribes of the American Southwest during the late 19th century. Bourke's narrative blends meticulous fieldwork with a rich tapestry of native lore, utilizing a vivid and descriptive literary style that reflects both reverence and curiosity for Apache culture. This work is situated in the context of the burgeoning interest in indigenous studies during a time when the dislocation of Native American communities prompted a critical reevaluation of their traditions and beliefs. John G. Bourke, a military officer in the U.S. Army, forged his understanding of native cultures through his interactions with the Apache people during his service in the territory. His firsthand experiences and his extensive research serve as a lens through which the complex roles of medicine men, their rituals, and their significance within Apache society are artfully unveiled. Bourke's commitment to documenting their practices stems from his belief in the importance of preserving indigenous wisdom and the profound impact of cultural encounters in shaping American history. This compelling account is not just an academic treatment but a heartfelt plea for understanding and respecting indigenous practices. Students and scholars of anthropology, history, and indigenous studies will find "The Medicine-Men of the Apache" enlightening, as it grants readers a unique glimpse into the intricate relationship between spirituality and healing within Apache culture, making it an essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of medicine and anthropology.

Ludlow Massacre The: The History...

Editors Charles River

As labor unions and movements began to form and coalesce in the 19th century, the tensions between workers and companies led to demonstrations, encounters, and even conflicts that descended into violence. Among those, few were as notorious as the fight that took place on April 20, 1914 at Ludlow in the southern Colorado coalfields, during which two units of the Colorado National Guard had a firefight with striking miners who lived in a United Mine Workers (UMW) camp. The Guardsmen had at least one machine gun, and the strikers were also armed. The gunfire lasted most of the day, and at the day’s end, the miners were routed and fled the camp with their families.  
	Perhaps as many as a dozen miners in the camp were killed during the fighting, but after it was over, the Guardsmen cautiously entered the camp, did some looting, and then soaked the miners’ tents with kerosene in order to burn the whole camp to the ground. The Guard’s arsonists were unaware that in one tent, four women and 11 children had hidden themselves in a sort of cellar under a tent, seeking protection from the gunfire. After the camp burned, a deeply disturbing aspect of the fighting was discovered: two of those women and all 11 children had been asphyxiated from the smoke of their burning tent. 
	These grim deaths marked Ludlow as more than just another regrettable coal war battle and earned it the title of the Ludlow Massacre. In the previous several decades, there had been a number of violent incidents during strikes in several states that killed more people, but in 1914, Victorian sentimentality about women and children was still prevalent, and the Ludlow tragedy deeply shocked the nation.
