peal to a wide range of those interested in archaeology. The focus of

Frontier Times, Marvin Hunter's 192o's magazine devoted to "fron-
tier history, border tragedy and pioneer achievement" is being reissued
in facsimile form, starting with Vol. 1, No. 1. Articles in Frontier
Times, many of which are first-hand accounts, are concerned with In-
dians, the Texas Rangers, local history, problems of pioneers and
frontiersmen, and other subjects relating to the West generations ago.
Subscriptions to Frontier Times are based on twelve or twenty-four
monthly issues, and average out to cost 50o per issue. They may be
ordered from Frontier Times, P.O. Box 3338-L, Austin, Texas 78764.

James Ludden was a New Englander, but some of his descendants mi-
grated to Texas in later years. One of them, Frank Ludden, was a
pioneer in the utilities field in the Lower Rio Grande Valley.
Da Capo Press has released four new titles in its Narratives of the
Trans-Mississippi Frontier reprint series. Scenery of the Plains, Moun-
tains and Mines by Franklin Langworthy was written in the 185o's
during an overland journey from Illinois to California. Langworthy,
an educated and cultured man, attempted to explain the phenomenon
of the gold rush and the geographical aspects of the West in the light
of the most advanced scientific knowledge of his time. The search for
gold also inspired The Emigrants' Guide to California by Joseph E.
Ware and The Past and Present of the Pike's Peak Gold Regions by
Henry Villard. Ware's book was the first to attempt a complete de-
scription of the best route for the forty-niners, and Villard reported
the Colorado gold rush a decade later. The Mexican War is the focus212
