The Navajo Long Walk

The Navajo Holocaust is what Lawrence W. Cheek calls it in this volume of the Look West series. In Navajo history it is commonly known as the Long Walk. The disaster began in 1863 when Gen. James Henry Carleton decided to move the Navajo people forcibly from their traditional Arizona homeland to a reservation on the high plains of northern New Mexico. He assigned this job to a veteran soldier named Kit Carson, who broke Navajo resistance with a series of military raids. Then the remaining Navajo were herded in large groups across distances of 300 to 500 miles (routes varied) to a small camp at Fort Sumner, New Mexico. Winter was coming on. By the best estimate now possible 1,500 to 3,000 people—up to a fifth of the Navajo population at the time—died either en route or in what amounted to a concentration camp, writes Cheek. It became known as the Long Walk—the Southwestern counterpart to the Cherokees' Trail of Tears. More than 8,000 Navajos attempted to live at the 40 by 40-mile camp. By 1868 the experiment had clearly failed. Many Navajos had starved to death. Their chief Barboncito made a plea to Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman, who by now had inherited the problem: I hope to God you will not ask me to go to any other country except my own. Sherman relented, arizona camping northern and the survivors were finally allowed to go home. And yet, as Cheek observes in a riveting, terrible, beautifully written account, this tragic episode preserved Navajo identity instead of destroying it. 30 photos& illustrations.

Assembling California

At various times in a span of fifteen years, John McPhee has made geological field trips in the company of Eldridge Moores, a tectonicist at the University of California at Davis. The result is Assembling California, a cross-section in human arizona camping northern and geologic time, from Donner Pass in the Sierra Nevada through the golden foothills of the Mother Lode arizona camping northern and across the Great Central Valley to the wine country of the Coast Ranges, the rock of San Francisco, arizona camping northern and the San Andreas family of faults. The two disparate time scales occasionally intersect - in the gold disruptions of the nineteenth century no less than in the earthquakes of the twentieth - arizona camping northern and always with relevance to a newly understood geologic history in which half a dozen large arizona camping northern and separate pieces of country are seen to have drifted in from far arizona camping northern and near to coalesce as California. McPhee arizona camping northern and Moores also journeyed to remote mountains of Arizona (where Moores grew up in a gold-mining camp), arizona camping northern and to Cyprus arizona camping northern and northern Greece, where rock of the deep-ocean floor has been transported into continental settings, as it has in California. A specialist in such ocean rock arizona camping northern and the histories it suggests, Moores routinely works at the applied outer boundary of the theory of plate tectonics, reconstructing ancestral worlds. Presented here in global dimension is a sweeping narrative of maps in motion, of evolving arizona camping northern and dissolving lands. In 1978 arizona camping northern and 1979, John McPhee also began his wider series of related journeys, traversing North America at about the fortieth parallel, using roadcuts of interstate 80 as windows into regional geologies, arizona camping northern and incidentally profiling the lives of the geologists with whom he travelled. A continental tetralogy, gathering underthe title Annals of the Former World, began with Basin arizona camping northern and Range (1980), arizona camping northern and continued with In Suspect Terrain (1982) arizona camping northern and Rising from the Plains (1986), arizona camping northern and is now completed by Assembling California. In the overall structure of these compositions, the controlling element has been not...
