History

In addition to their entertainment value, comic books offered a unique world-view to a large segment of the American public in the confusing decade following World War II. Millions were distributed to service personnel during the war years, and by 1945, adults as well as children were reading an astounding 60 million comic books per month. These books treated such contemporary concerns as the atomic and hydrogen bombs, growth of international Communism, and the Korean War, and they offered heroes and heroines to deal with such problems. In response to moral criticism, the industry established a Comics Code that specified acceptable content. The code prohibited most of what had appeared in the medium prior to 1954, thus ending what has since come to be known as the "golden age" of comic books. With reproductions of five representative stories supplementing the text, William Savage's book (first published in 1990), will appeal to social historians and others interested in this vivid expression of American culture.

Warpath and Cattle Trail

Warpath and Cattle Trail is a middle-aged man's recollection of a year spent with his older brother at Red Fork Ranch, between the Reno and Chisholm trails in Indian Territory. Hubert E. Collins was eleven at the time, and the experience impressed him mightily.Collins counted among his friends the Cheyenne chief Little Robe. He spent considerable time with the Cheyennes, in their lodges and as witness to their ceremonies, including the Sun Dance. In 1928, Collins made a case for Indians as human beings that would not occur in popular culture for another two decades - in fact, Collins took Hollywood to task more than once in this memoir, not only with regard to its treatment of Indians but also in the matter of its portrayal of cowboys and other "frontier" types.Warpath and Cattle Trail provides a social history of the heyday of the nineteenth century frontier, replete with cattle drives, dog feasts, fiddle-playing gunmen, discussions of burial practices in coyote country, and stories of men who were shot between the eyes and arose and walked - well, stumbled - away.
