  • Orozco's American Epic: Myth, History, and the Melancholy of Race

    Open AccessFlannery BurkeARTICLEJournal of American History2021

    On the cover of the art historian Mary K. Coffey's Orozco's American Epic is a reader. He reclines on his right elbow, engrossed in a book, the title not visible to viewers. Behind him rises his work site, a building under construction. His workman's cap suggests that he has grabbed a moment of leisure for study. Coffey is attuned to her own readers' likely responses to the image. Scholars may identify with the act of reading and even with the sk…

  • The Arrogance of the East: How Westerners Created a Region

    Open AccessFlannery BurkeARTICLEWestern Historical Quarterly2018

    This article tells the story of the Harvard Commission on Western History (1912–1920) and its principal collector, Thomas P. Martin, a graduate student of Frederick Jackson Turner. Martin attempted to parlay his western background into donations to Harvard Library’s western history collection, but many westerners objected to sharing their archival material with an elite eastern institution. Martin’s correspondence reveals how western collectors v…

  • Wires That Bind: Nation, Region, and Technology in the Southwestern United States, 1845-1920

    Flannery BurkeARTICLEJournal of American History2018

    Torsten Kathke's Wires That Bind grew from his dissertation on the Mesilla Valley, the region acquired from Mexico by the United States in the Gadsden Purchase of 1853–1854. Home to numerous indigenous groups as well as several Mexican communities, the area was a “perennial periphery” in the eyes of imperial and national powers at the time of the purchase. An extensive overview of the project's theoretical underpinnings occupies the introduction …

  • Ladies of the Canyons: A League of Extraordinary Women and Their Adventures in the American Southwest. By Lesley Poling-Kempes

    Flannery BurkeARTICLEWestern Historical Quarterly2016

    There are two especially gratifying elements of Lesley Poling-Kempes’s Ladies of the Canyons. The first is that the members of her “league of extraordinary women” come together in the Southwest much like the members of television’s A-Team assemble for their maverick adventures. We first meet Natalie Curtis Burlin, a brilliant and talented pianist born to Manhattan’s elite, on Washington Square. When she suffered a breakdown, her brother invited h…

  • Spud Johnson and a Gay Man's Place in the Taos Creative Arts Community

    Flannery BurkeARTICLEPacific Historical Review2010

    This article explores the status of Willard "Spud" Johnson within the modernist arts community of Taos, New Mexico, in the 1930s. By highlighting Johnson's entertaining and self-reflective journal, the article addresses how Johnson's homosexuality contributed to his position as a middling member of the Taos arts community, a position poised between white members of the colony, especially women, and the non-white local New Mexicans whom members of…
