Published by University of Texas Press, Austin, TX, 1994. 1st Stated Ed 1st Pr. Paperback. 8vo. Spine not broken, content like new. 270 Pgs. The author has analyzed historical sources and archaeological data to investigate whether the Jumanos were a distinctive group or whether the name was simply applied loosely to various groups of tribes. The author proposes that they were a distinctive tribe, their wide travel pattern linked over well-established itineraries. Drawing on extensive primary sources, she also explores their crucial role as traders in a network extending from the Rio Grande to the Caddoan tribes' confederacies of East Texas and Oklahoma. Her findings reinterpret the cultural history of the south Plains region, bridging numerous gaps in the area's comprehensive history and in the chronicle of these elusive people.

Jesse Chisholm, Ambassador of the Plains

University Press of Colorado, Niwot, CO, 1991, 1st Ed 1st Pr. Hardbound. Jesse Chisholm, Ambassador of the Plains by Stan Hoig. Published by University Press of Colorado, Niwot, CO, 1991. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardbound w/Glassine Protected DJ. Size 8vo (up to 9-1/2'' tall). Condition: Nr Fine in Good DJ. Discarded Library Book. 226 Pgs. ISBN 0870811983. LCCN 90-27722. The Chisholm Trail, traveled by Texas longhorn cattle moving northward across present-day Oklahoma to Kansas, was named for mixed-blood Cherokee Jesse Chisholm (1805-1868). Though Chisholm's prominence in western lore rests largely on this connection, he was active on the frontier long before the naming of the trail. Because he left no diaries, letters, or personal documents, however, his life has been shrouded in mystery. Drawing from many sources, including early state and federal documents, news-paper accounts, and trade and military records, the author offers the clearest picture to date of the many important roles Chisholm played: trailblazer; friend of Indian chiefs; linguist of Indian languages; scout; and liaison between Indian tribes, the US government, and the Republic of Texas. With his formidable intellect and talent for diplomacy, Chisholm blazed a trail in the history of the American Southwest more fascinating even than the one that bears his name. Illustrated.
