  • How Do Academic Institutions Evaluate Their History: Campus Case Studies III: Princeton University

    Open AccessMartha A SandweiARTICLETheology Today2020

    The Princeton Slavery Project, begun in 2013, evolved into a major public history project documenting Princeton University’s historical entanglement with the institution of slavery. As a “bottom-up” project, begun as a faculty/student research effort, the project suggests the strengths and weaknesses of an institutional slavery study operating independently of administrative mandates or institutional policy concerns

  • Seeing History: Thinking about and with Photographs

    Open AccessMartha A SandweiARTICLEWestern Historical Quarterly2020

    Long before the invention of photography in 1839, people in the western half of the North American continent used visual means to make sense of their world; in petroglyphs and pictographs, on hide painting and ceramic vessels, with bead work and devotional art. But the settlement of the West as a part of the United States largely coincides with the invention and spread of photography. The new American region and the new medium came of age togethe…

  • Indians Illustrated: The Image of Native Americans in the Pictorial Press

    Martha A Sandwei, Martha A SandweissARTICLEJournal of American History2017

    This book by John M. Coward, a journalism historian, explores how wood engravings of Indians in the American pictorial press during the second half of the nineteenth century helped create and maintain popular ideas about native peoples. Building on his previous book covering nineteenth-century literary journalism about Native Americans, Coward focuses on illustrations from Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper and Harper's Weekly, with more limite…

  • Rachel McLean Sailor. Meaningful Places: Landscape Photographers in the Nineteenth-Century American West

    Martha A Sandwei, Martha A SandweissARTICLEThe American Historical Review2015

    The title of this first book by art historian Rachel McLean Sailor does not quite convey its subject. Two of the six chapters focus on twentieth-century photographers, and the great landscape photographers who accompanied the post–Civil War surveys of the West are not included here at all. Arguing, with some overstatement, that “how photographs of place functioned once settlers arrived in the West has gone unexplored” (p. xviii), Sailor explains …

  • The Oxford History of the American West

    Steven Kirk Bane, Clyde A Milner et al.ARTICLEThe Arkansas Historical Quarterly1995

    When we think of the American West, we tend to conjure up images that are known the world over: bearded forty-niners leading pack mules up a mountain trail, the Oklahoma land stampede, Custer's Last Stand, and especially the range-riding, quick-shooting cowboy. But these familiar images are only a small part of western history. From the arrival of the Navajos in the Southwest more than seven hundred years ago, to the first Spanish settlements in …
