Book Description
This sweeping, richly evocative study examines the origins and legacies of a flourishing captive exchange economy within and among native American and Euramerican communities throughout the Southwest Borderlands from the Spanish colonial era to the end of the nineteenth century.
Indigenous and colonial traditions of capture, servitude, and kinship met and meshed in the borderlands, forming a "slave system" in which victims symbolized social wealth, performed services for their masters, and produced material goods under the threat of violence. Slave and livestock raiding and trading among Apaches, Comanches, Kiowas, Navajos, Utes, and Spaniards provided labor resources, redistributed wealth, and fostered kin connections that integrated disparate and antagonistic groups even as these practices renewed cycles of violence and warfare.
Always attentive to the corrosive effects of the "slave trade" on Indian and colonial societies, the book also explores slavery's centrality in intercultural trade, alliances, and "communities of interest" among groups often antagonistic to Spanish, Mexican, and American modernizing strategies. The extension of the moral and military campaigns of the American Civil War to the Southwest in a regional "war against slavery" brought differing forms of social stability but cost local communities much of their economic vitality and cultural flexibility.

Informative and thought-provoking.......2003-06-24
It would be foolish to give a book that won three prestigious professional awards (the Bancroft, Turner, and Parkman prizes) all in one year anything less than five stars, but the stars I have given this book can only hint at its remarkable contents. Captives and Cousins is based on prodigious research in original sources, and the research is wedded to a compelling and innovative analysis.
Brooks is not the first historian to show that the practice of taking captives and subjecting them to involuntary servitude was widespread in the American Southwest, but I don't think that anyone else has demonstrated so convincingly how deep and wide the cycle of capture and slavery was. Virtually all of the peoples who lived in and around New Mexico in the three centuries following the Spanish entrada (Native Americans and Europeans alike) took captives and engaged to one degree or another in the slave trade. Indians preyed on Spanish and Mexicans, and on themselves, and the Spanish and Mexicans returned the favor. To a degree, even Americans played a role in the trade after they became the controlling force in the region. They offered rewards for the return of captives and thus provided incentives for further captures. Brooks shows that the system of capture and slavery contributed in significant ways to the political, economic, and cultural development of the Southwest, providing a ready source of labor (and wives), knitting disparate peoples into webs of kinship (some biological, some adoptive, some deriving from Catholic godparenthood), helping to equalize wealth, and provoking endless cycles of revenge and retaliation. The system (a kind of "war of all against all") had its own logic, though the logic was crude and in many respects cruel.
Brooks does not saddle Europeans with all of the blame for the system. He makes it clear that capture and enslavement were practiced before the Spanish first arrived in the Southwest. But they participated in it and added refinements derived from their own Iberian traditions. In one sense, the book helps to challenge the myth of Indians as indigenous peoples "operating within subsistence-and-exchange economies that produced little intergroup conflict." Conflict there was, and in spades.
Brooks is an academic, and the book is addressed primarily to his fellow academics. General readers will find the text too dense for easy reading. I found some parts of the book slow going, but I persisted and, in the end, was glad I did. Captives and Cousins not only informed me; it made me think.
Book Description
One of the incidents that made a profound impression upon the minds of all: the meeting of eleven wagons returning and not a man left in the entire train; all had died, and been buried on the way, and the women returning alone.
--from the journals of Ezra Meeker, 1852
THEIR LIVES WOULD BE TEMPERED BY ADVERSITY, EXPANDED BY FAITH, POLISHED BY PERSEVERANCE--
For Madison "Mazy" Bacon, a young wife living in southern Wisconsin, the future appears every bit as promising as it is reassuringly predictable. A loving marriage, a well-organized home, the pleasure of planting an early spring garden--these are the carefully-tended dreams that sustain her heart and nourish her soul.
But when her husband of two years sells the homestead and informs her that they are heading west, Mazy's life is ripped down the middle like a poorly mended sheet forgotten in a midwestern storm. Her love is tried, her boundaries stretched, and the fabric of her faith tested. At the same time, she and eleven extraordinary women are pulled toward an uncertain destiny--one that binds them together through reluctance and longing and into acceptance and renewal.
Based on an actual 1852 Oregon Trail incident, All Together in One Place, Book One in the Kinship and Courage series, speaks to the strength in every woman and celebrates the promise of hope that unfailingly blooms amidst tragedy and challenge.

Interesting, but not riveting.......2007-08-09
I enjoyed this book. It was a slow read, because it contained a LOT of detail. Though it may not have been accurate in all repects, it gave me a feel for what if might have been like to strike out to the unknown and settle our land. Imagine....clean water is not always available....no shelter from the elements...either extreme heat OR wicked storms...no running to the store when the wagon breaks down....abandon some of your most prized possesions by the side of the road in order to survive. And of course, in the book as well as in our history of westward expansion, many did NOT survive! It gave me a new appreciation for my ancestors and the courage it must have taken to move from the known to the unfamiliar. Though I didn't find the book riveting, it was worth reading, and I look forward to continuing the saga.
You are part of the story...........2007-02-23
Jane Kirkland brings you into the lives of these women. Once you start this book, it will be impossible to think of anything but how these women survived. She brings rich detail to the Oregon Trail....and shows it was not all smooth sailing. Their trials in this book will have you eager to read the next two books in the Kinship, Courage & Faith series, and then wish they never ended.
A compellling read........2006-08-10
I couldn't put this book down. The characters were well rounded and so true to life. The wisdom expressed by the characters was revealing of the author's own life experiences. The descriptive prose pictures were so vivid that I could taste the dust, smell the cattle and see the trail ahead. The descriptions of life as it was on the trail in the 1850's had a ring of truth that made me glad to be living in the modern world. I will read more by this author and am eagerly looking forward to the next book.
thumbs down.......2006-06-20
I started this book with gusto. The writing was well done, the character's well developed, the speed moving along nicely. The first couple of chapters had quite a bit of action and was a page turner...and then middle of the book-bam...nothing. The story gets slooooow. Suddenly the author is going on and on about things in the characters lives that are uninteresting and of little point. The action dies completely. I struggled on, thinking it would pick back up, but gave up on the last 70 or so pages. I didn't even have enough interest to find out what happened to the characters and just felt cheated at having spent the time I did reading it. Would not recommend.
Great Read.......2005-10-21
All Together in One Place is a wonderful story. The characters are well developed and the plot has many twists and turns to keep you wanting to find out what's going to happen next. Wonderful story. Could hardly put it down. Highly recommend.
Book Description
“Jane Kirkpatrick has, almost literally, created her own genre of fiction. Her books enfold…whisper, ‘Let me tell you about a woman who…’ They find a secret place in each of us and bring it gently to the surface.”
–Salem Statesman Journal
Suzanne felt the tears press at her eyes as the dream-state drifted away–taking with it the sight of the man she loved. Awake, she blinked back the tears. This was her life now. The sounds of the women and oxen, those were real. And the darkness–her darkness. She lay inside it, resigned. She was not a wife reaching out for her husband but a widow, a blind widow, wistful and full of desire.
FACING CHALLENGES AND LOSS, A COMMUNITY OF EXTRAORDINARY WOMEN FIGHT TO OVERCOME THE PAIN OF THE PAST – AND EMBRACE THE FUTURE.
When blind and widowed Suzanne Cullver reaches California with a group of women who have survived tragedy on the Oregon Trail, she sets her mind on doing for herself all that must be done. Though she cannot see, she rejects offers of assistance, unwittingly risking her children’s safety – and her own.
Her companions blindly falter as well, held hostage by their own pasts. As Suzanne attempts to control her life in Shasta City, Ruth defends against past errors, failing to see how she limits love. Meanwhile, Mazy’s vision seems to be permanently clouded by her late husband’s betrayal. But when a young stagedriver risks all for a Wintu Indian, his life becomes entangled with the turnaround women – and together they are changed forever as they discover that No Eye Can See all the good God has in store for those who love Him.

A Second Incredible Story..........2007-02-23
Jane Kirkland brings you further into this tale of these widowed women. They make new lives for themselves, and their stories are all unique, but yet melded into a family. This book won't disappoint you, and you will be sure to want to read the next book in the series.
Jane Kirkland has won my eyes over with her books--they all are rich in trueisms and vivid pictures that she paints as she takes you on her journey. Living the the Pacific Northwest--I can assure you, it's pretty much as she says! Thanks Jane!
Great Author.......2007-02-12
Jane Kirkpatrick is a little known author with great stories. The book does not make much sense if you have not read tghe first of this series, "All together in one place." Very worth reading. relaxing, entertaining, and very well written. She makes you want to get the next in the series just to see what happens next.
No Eye Can See.......2004-08-26
It has been years since I have found a book this enjoyable to read.
I am so glad this book is one in a series. There is a lot wisdom in the characters dialog. I am a new fan of Jane Kirkpatrick's. -
Great series to read.......2003-07-30
This was a fantastic series to read. I couldn't put it down, you actually feel like you know all the women in the series. You hope that Tipton will survive her loses, and you hope for good things for Mazy and Ruth. I can't wait to read more by Ms Kirkpatrick. She makes you feel like you are there with them.
No eye can see.......2003-06-04
This is the marvelous sequel to the story of widowed women heading west.
Jane Kirkpatrick draws a detailed and very realistic picture of the life and circumstances people had to face in California during the gold rush. The writing is brilliant. She did not make too many references to the first volume of the series. Only where necessary, she placed little hints that refreshed my memory about what had happened before.
The characters are painted as strong as we were used in "All Together In One Place". The life of every one of these women develops differently, yet is interwoven with that of the others. Apparently, there were too many women in order to keep up with all their stories, since they are NOT all together in one place anymore.
Although I am aware that this could have filled a book on its own, I missed to learn more about the new lives of the "Celestials" - the newly wed Asian women. This way it seems as if they hadn't been fully accepted members of the widows' group. In the first book, however, I had the feeling that the Asian women grew more and more self-confident and independent, contrary to their own culture.
On the other hand, in my eyes, the story about the relationship between Zane Randolph and the women Ruth and Suzanne takes too long to evolve and to climax. There are too many hints and repetitions about his insanity. This space could have easily been used for the Celestials.
Book Description
Danielle Santiago's Little Ghetto Girl: A Harlem Story was an Essence magazine #1 bestseller, a compelling portrayal of the challenges young women face in ghettos across America. Now Santiago's putting it down again, better than ever, moving on from the little girl to the grown woman in Grindin', the second in her trilogy of Harlem Stories.
Holding the story down in Grindin' is Kennedy Sanchez, a twenty-two-year-old beautiful, talented, street-smart single mom with a heart of gold. After partying and "grindin'" in Las Vegas, and clearing more than $100,000 and a bag of diamonds by robbing rich, white gamblers, Kennedy and her cousin Nina fly back home to New York. Later that night, Kennedy gets a call informing her that Nina is being beaten up by her boyfriend -- and it's worse than any time before. Kennedy rushes over to help, but it's too late: Nina dies in Kennedy's arms after making her promise to take care of her children.
Kennedy steps up to the plate, now becoming the mother of three more kids and moving them into a brownstone in Harlem. She knows she needs to refocus. Her opportunity to do so comes in the form of Chaz, a successful hip-hop artist who sees star quality written all over her.
She's offered a chance to become a rapper and leaves the streets behind -- or at least shifts to another kind of grind. Once she's in the music world, she realizes that the setting may have changed, but the hustle remains the same.

A real page turner!!.......2007-08-16
This was a great book from the beginning to the end. Ken-Ken and Chaz's relationship was so great full of drama and action packed you gotta love them. I loved the mystery in this book as well. You will laugh and cry in this book it's that good.
Danielle's Best Book Yet!.......2007-08-01
This is truly a page turner. See how life on the streets compares to that of the music industry. There really is no difference. Different place same hustle. Danielle shows the pain of Kennedy Sanchez who loses loved one after loved one and then a finaltragedy that takes her over the edge. Her family tries to help her recovery but she must do it in her own way. Look for cameos from "Little Ghetto Girl" in this great work of urban fiction as well.

Great Book.......2007-05-17
This book was a great read. By far the best I've read in a while. The author draws you in from the very beginning and keeps you there until the end.... Once you reach that end you wanting more... My hat goes of to Ms. Santiago for writing an excellent Novel.

THE FINAL BOOK IN THE KINSHIP AND COURAGE SERIES
Customer Reviews:
Sorry it ended..........2007-02-23
This books does wrap up the series and puts a finishing touch to most of the characters. I would have loved for there to be another book showing these women 5 years down the line. The story was wonderful with a happy ending (hooray that Zane Randolph finaly gets his due!), and sheds some light to the beauty the settlers found in the beautiful Oregon territory.
Jane...keep them coming!
Looking for 3rd book in series, What Once We Loved.......2004-05-10
So, far I haven't found the 3rd book in the series by Jane Kirkpatrick, The Kinship and Courage Series, What Once We Loved. I did read the first two, All Together In One Place, and NO Eye Can See. I thoroughly enjoyed both and found it easy to picture in my minds eye the country as it was at that time and the courage of those women. We so often hear of what the men went through and forget there were quite often women and children at their sides helping out or left on their own to make it die along the ways. Were so fortunate to have all the modern conveniences of todays world, I marvel at the strength it took all people to make it to where we are today. It was nice to take a peak back through time and have a series that's so down to earth, where one wasn't afraid to voice one's opinion or lend a helping hand or two. Personally I think it would make a marvelous movie.
Lost Interest.......2002-05-26
I loved Kirkpatrick's first book in the series, All Together in One Place, enjoyed the second, No Eye Can See (although not as much), and lost interest by this third one, What Once We Loved. I don't even think I'll finish it. The characters and their relationships are beginning to be too sappy for me.
Outstanding.......2002-05-26
This 3rd book of the trilogy drew me into the story and the lives of these strong women from page 1. How they overcame the tradegies they faced and prevailed was heart warming. In a present-day time of easy fixes, the obstacles these women overcame shaped their personalities and gave them amazing strength to go forward with their dreams. It's about dreams. And it is about not ever giving up. Ever! Wonderful!
What once we loved.......2002-05-20
The theme through this book is one of redemption. The characters all come to realize that life is best lived with someone who truly cares about you and your independence. Not having read the other two books in the trilogy, I didn't know all the background. However, I don't think that hindered my understanding of the plot and the characters.
The characters are well written and for the most part, very likeable. The only thing that bothered me was that at times, the timing of the book seemed off. I never really knew what events were happening in the past, and somethings seemed to be skipped over. For instance, this big secret was going to be revealed, and the author cut to a different story line; when the first story line is picked back up--the secret isn't told--you only get their reaction. Parts of the book just seemed jumpy.
I would recommend this book--either on its own or as the last book in the series.
Book Description
Our foremothers are just as important to our family history as our forefathers. After all, half of your ancestors were women! By using the valuable research techniques and sources in this book, you'll be able to uncover historical facts, personal accounts and recorded events that form an intriguing narrative biography of the women in your ancestry.
Customer Reviews:
Disappointing -- more facts, less speculation needed.......2002-11-11
While the first few chapters of this book are moderately helpful, much of the book seemed to be devoted to "imagining" what life would be like for female ancestors. While this might prove to be an entertaining exercise, it is not consistent with good genealogical research.
Insightful and in-depth research approaches about women.......2002-09-07
Well-written, well-organized and enjoyable to read, this outstanding genealogical research tool provides an excellent in-depth, insightful, integrated approach to genealogical research, particularly focused on researching our female family members. It contains a good explanation of means of tracing women when their surnames have changed, and very extensive bibliographies that are exhaustively research sources on women's property rights, childbearing and women's health care.
It sets out a well-explained technique of developing, writing and preserving one's family story as an organized historical narrative, with all the information one has obtained, so that the information paints a family's portrait(s), gives meaning to facts, organizes the source materials logically, and helps to tell the family who they are, why they are the way they are, and where they came from so that the family's history is preserved. This aspect of the book provides a much needed explanation to "weekend" genealogists on how to handle and develop their research results to make sense of them and to preserve the meaning of them.
This is a thoroughly analyzed and helpful book. I have given copies of this book to several people as it responds to research needs at several levels: genealogy, women's rights and issues (property, health, probate/will), family history interests, research skills, even personal journaling and self-discovery through family discovery.
Sharon DeBartolo Carmack has an outstanding ability to teach, and I hope she will continue to expand on her collection of genealogy research books.
Far from this author's best work.......2002-07-23
Despite the fact that half of everyone's ancestors are women, they traditionally have received short shrift from genealogists. Married women frequently appear on family group sheets as "Elizabeth Blank," teenage daughters are lost track of between censuses if their new husbands' names are unknown, and even the most dedicated family man was apt to leave everything in his will simply to "my wife." (Those of Acadian or Quaker descent are fortunate that religious records usually provide a wife?s maiden name.) Carmack is a well-known author and lecturer and one opens this book with high hopes that she will describe new techniques that will enable one to knock down some of those brick walls. Unfortunately, even the moderately experienced researcher is likely to be disappointed. While the first four chapters are filled with good advice on valuable resources, nearly all of them are equally applicable to researching both men and women: passenger lists, city directories, probate records, interviewing aging relatives, etc. Chapter Five is devoted to writing about women in a family history, and Chapter Six is a brief case study of one of the author's own female ancestors -- but again, the methods described would work just as well for a great-great-grandfather as for his wife. (What does one do to identify a wife who dies before the 1850 census, leaving a dirt-farmer husband unable to read or write, who remarries and leaves his worldly goods to his second wife? I have more than one like that!) Carmack is a specialist in social and ethnic history, which can be very useful in fleshing out one's family research -- but in that case, the title is a bit misleading. She provides full citations for all of her many examples, of course, as well as a 24-page *selected* bibliography -- which may be the most useful part of the book.
Only Four Stars?.......2002-07-03
I believe this book, like many others, fails to adequetly cover all aspect of & types of searches most people are trying to solve. Eventho the auther covered some of the very basic Of places a person may look, She failed to explain how & where or the tecniques that one would to trace & find a female ancester gone many years.It lacks a show of true knowelege & expertise. If i were grading this as a high school project I would grade it as a D for Content, C for effort & overall would have been returned as I for Incomplete.The dealer was very fast & more than met m expectatitions. Th book was as advertised & in excellent condition. Dealer gets Five Stars !Author gets One Star !! And an I for Incomplete works !!!
Females Surnames are no longer unknown.......2002-04-25
This book gave me several more routes to check for my unknown female ancestors. I liked the listing of various search methods and the reasoning to reach a particular conclusion. It was very helpful, which will help me better analyze the information that I do have. The bibliography is wonderful, it covers a lot of different ethnic groups for those of us not researching European ancestors. This is a great resource.
Book Description
Christiane Klapisch-Zuber, a brilliant historian of the Annales school, skillfully uncovers the lives of ordinary Italians of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, Tuscans in particular, young and old, rich, middle-class, and poor. From the extraordinarily detailed records kept by Florentine tax collectors and the equally precise ricordanze (household accounts with notations of events great and small), Klapisch-Zuber draws a living picture of the Tuscan household. We learn, for example, how children were named, how wet nurses were engaged, how marriages were negotiated and celebrated. A wealth of other sources are tapped—including city statutes, private letters, philosophical works on marriage, paintings—to determine the social status of women. Klapisch-Zuber reveals how women, in their roles as daughters, wives, sisters, and mothers, were largely subject to a family system that needed them but valued them little.
Book Description
In many South Asian oral traditions, herons are viewed as duplicitous and conniving. These traditions tend also to view women as fragmented identities, dangerously split between virtue and virtuosity, between loyalties to their own families and those of their husbands. In women's songs, however, symbolic herons speak, telling of alternative moral perspectives shaped by women. The heron's words--and women's expressive genres more generally--criticize pervasive North Indian ideologies of gender and kinship that place women in subordinate positions. By inviting readers to "listen to the heron's words," the authors convey this shift in moral perspective and suggest that these spoken truths are compelling and consequential for the women in North India.
The songs and narratives bear witness to a provocative cultural dissonance embedded in women's speech. This book reveals the power of these critical commentaries and the fluid and permeable boundaries between spoken words and the lives of ordinary village women.
Book Description
A vivid overview of the scope of the problem of gender-based violence worldwide, and a sense of the important work now underway to eradicate it.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent for use as a textbook or personal activist agenda.......2007-02-20
Penn and Nardos' text is beautifully written about a very painful topic. The carefully documented evidence of discrimination and violence against women and girls, that the book provides, would be depressing and demoralizing if the authors hadn't also offered a variety of solutions, both interpersonal and systemically-global, to stop such violence. The book has a sophisticated integration of data-based research, ethical reasoning, and spiritual insights. It galvanized me to examine my own inner prejudices and motivated me to increase my personal response to gendered based violence. Members and employees of our local YWCA, which maintains a battered women's (domestic violence) shelter, have praised the book to me. I have been recommending the text to all my psychology students at Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston, Idaho (and had a copy purchased by our college library).
