  • Hillbilly Maidens, Okies, and Cowgirls

    Renée M LaegreidARTICLEAgricultural History2024

    In Hillbilly Maidens, Okies, and Cowgirls, Stephanie Vander Wel examines the role of women during the first decades of the country music era, 1930–60, as country music migrated beyond the South into the Midwest and California and ultimately became a national phenomenon centered in Nashville.

    Rebecca Scofield’s Outriders: Rodeo at the Fringes of the American West is an important and welcome contribution to the understanding of rodeo and its place in American history.

    Renée M LaegreidARTICLEThe American Historical Review2016

    Cold War scholarship characteristically addresses big picture topics: international relations, national/international policies, and political or popular figures who sought to mitigate, aggravate, or manipulate tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. David W. Mills narrows the focus by arguing that American attitudes toward the Cold War differed according to regionally historic patterns of immigration, culture, economics, and relationship …
