Indian Country analyzes the works of Anglo writers and artists who encountered American Indians in the course of their travels in the Southwest during the onehundredyear period beginning in 1840. Martin Padget looks first at the accounts produced by governmentsponsored explorers, most notably John Wesley Powell's writings about the Colorado Plateau. He goes on to survey the writers who popularized the region in fiction and travelogue, including Helen Hunt Jackson and Charles F. Lummis. He also introduces us to Eldridge Ayer Burbank, an oftenoverlooked artist who between 1897 and 1917 made thousands of paintings and drawings of Indians from over 140 western tribes.Padget addresses two topics: how the Southwest emerged as a distinctive region in the minds of latenineteenth and earlytwentiethcentury Americans, and what impact these conceptions, and the growing presence of Anglos, had on Indians in the region. Popular writers like Jackson and Lummis presented the American Indians as a 'primitive culture waiting to be discovered' and experienced firsthand. Later, as Padget shows, Anglo activists for Indian rights, such as Mabel Dodge Luhan and Mary Austin, worked for the acceptance of other views of Native Americans and their cultures.
