Women Artists of
the American West
By Phil Kovinick and
Marian Yoshiki-Kovinick
This encyclopedia is a biographical dictio-
nary of some 1,000 women artists of the
American West.The product of a twenty-
year, coast-to-coast research project by the
authors, it offers accurate, concise introduc-
tions to women painters, graphic artists,
and sculptors, all of whom achieved recog-
nition as depictors of Western subjects be-
tween the 1840s and 1980. Each entry
features the salient facts of the artist's life
and career, with attention to her work with
Western subject matter, while an overview
of the history of women in western art
complements the biographical entries.

Texas Sawmill Communities,
1880-1942
By Thad Sitton and
James H. Conrad
Drawing on oral history, company
records,and other archival sources,
this book recreates the lifeways of
Texas'sawmill communities, many of
which sprang up almost overnight and
disappeared just as quickly. During
their heyday, these company towns
made Texas the nations's third largest
lumber producer.The authors describe
the companies that ran the mills and
the usually rough-hewn towns,and
characterize the lives of the people,
from the hard, awesomely dangerous
mill work to the dances, picnics, and
other recreations that offered wel-
come diversions.

Capital Punishment in Texas,
1923-1990
By James W. Marquart,
Sheldon Ekland-Olson, and
Jonathan R. Sorensen
Here, the authors show persuasively
how slavery and the racially biased
practice of lynching in Texas led to the
institutionalization and public ap-
proval of executions skewed according
to race, class, and gender.They also
track long-term changes in public
opinion.The stories of the condemned
are masterfully interwoven with fact
and interpretation to provide compel-
ling reading for scholars of law, crimi-
nal justice, race relations, history, and
sociology as well as partisans on both
sides of the debate.
