THE BUFFALO SOLDIER TRAGEDY OF 1877
Paul H. Carlson
The year 1877 was a drought year in West 'lexas. That summer, some forty
buffalo soldiers struck out into the Llano Estacado, pursuing a band of raid-
ing Comanches. Several days later they were missing and presumed dead from
thirst. Although most of the soldiers straggled back into camp, four died, and
others faced court-martial for desertion. Here, Carlson mines courts-martial
records and other sources to provide insight into the interaction of soldiers,
hunters, settlers, and Indians on the Staked Plains. "I found Paul's research the
most thorough I have seen on Nolan, his men and the hunters, and his
account very gripping."-Elmer Kelton. $24.95

Hales places Cuney in the context of his family's generations, focusing on
Cuney himself; his father, Philip; a wealthy plantation owner; and Cuney's
daughter, Maud, who became involved in the racial uplift movement of the
early twentieth century. $29.95

THE ART OF ToMn LEA
A Memorial Edition
Compiled by Kathleen C. Hjerter
With a new afterword by Becky Duval Reese
El Paso native Tom Iea was a realist whoe painted things as they were but just
happened to see more of what they were than most of us do. Any subject he
portrayed in picture or words he researched minutely, thus, he brought mar-
velous detail to the Mexican bullfighter, the cattle of the King empire, and the
Indians, pioneers, and ranch hands from his own corner of the world. This
memorial volume presents the fill range of his vigorous work. $60.00
