W illiam S. K iser . Coast-to-Coast Empire
William S. Kiser’s Coast-to-Coast Empire: Manifest Destiny and the New Mexico Borderlands wades into scholarly waters recently disturbed by a spate of studies seeking to connect events in the trans-Mississippi West to the American Civil War. The move to break free of traditional geographic and chronological bounds has, to be sure, excited pushback from historians committed to a narrow definition of the Civil War, but this opposition has failed to…
The War for the Common Soldier
Peter S. Carmichael's ambitious attempt to recast our understanding of soldiers’ experiences during the American Civil War is likely to remain in readers’ minds long after they finish it. To be sure, only time will reveal whether The War for the Common Soldier will become the authority of record on the subject. What can be said now is that the book provides an important introduction to essential elements of soldiers’ lives such as cowardice, reli…

Vanishing America
Miles A. Powell's Vanishing America treads familiar historiographical ground, but its approach is just unique enough to warrant a glance from historians interested in the emergence of the modern environmental movement, the cultural legacies of western expansion, and the ways scientifically minded thinkers between 1850 and 1950 understood human difference. By using the topic of species extinction as a wedge to break open an evolving nexus of ideas…
Urban Infrastructure and Energy Poverty in Maputo, Mozambique
This chapter argues for an understanding of energy access with reference to the users’ experiences, moving away from the characterization of energy access as a technical issue. This chapter focuses on the neighbourhood of Chamanculo C, in Maputo, Mozambique. Using quantitative and qualitative methodologies, the case shows that energy access is a complex issue which relates to the role of energy in local economies and social interactions, as well …
Knickerbocker Commander
In the hazy terrain between the scholarly monograph and the volume designed for the general reader, one finds Bruce A. Castleman’s biography of John Drake Sloat. This description is not intended as a slight. Castleman’s work serves both audiences well, even if professional historians reading the tome might lament the lack of an overarching argument and wish for slightly more historiographical engagement. Unwilling to confine himself too closely t…
Washington is a Long Way Off
In 1887 the Office of Indian Affairs requested that the Army evict the handful of white trespassers who claimed over 90 percent of the Round Valley Reservation in Northern California. The trespassers turned to local courts to block their evictions, and a county judge dispatched the Mendocino County sheriff to arrest the federal officer who persisted with his orders. The ensuing "Round Valley War" shows that, although elites associated with Indian…
