War and the Southwest Series
Series editors:
Richard G. Lowe, Gustav L. Seligmann, Calvin L. Christman
The University of North Texas Press has undertaken to publish a series of
significant books about War and the Southwest. This broad category includes
first-hand accounts of military experiences by men and women of the South-
west, histories of warfare involving the people of the Southwest, and analy-
ses of military life in the Southwest itself. The Southwest is defined loosely as
those states of the United States west of the Mississippi River and south of a
line from San Francisco to St. Louis as well as the borderlands straddling the
Mexico-United States boundary. The series will include works involving mili-
tary life in peacetime in addition to books on warfare itself. It will range
chronologically from the first contact between indigenous tribes and Euro-
peans to the present. The series is based on the belief that warfare is an
important if unfortunate fact of life in human history and that understand-
ing war is a requirement for a full understanding of the American past.
