Abstract

American spaces, post­American independence Louisiana and Upper Canada and post­ Mexican independence Texas, as settlers from the United States took up residence. The four essays in part 4, "Spaces and Memory," tackle how people choose to construct historical spaces. Brian DeLay analyzes Navajo­New Mexican interaction through the prism of "blood talk," a complex interplay of views on the nature and need for intergroup violence, individual and collective. There follow two essays based on analysis of nonprint sources. Birgit Brander Rasmussen takes a literary criticism approach to the picture book produced by a young Kiowa warrior exiled to Florida's Fort Marion in the 1870s. Ned Blackhawk turns his attention to a reinterpretation of the Segesser I hide painting, one of two large canvases depicting scenes from the southern Plains produced in the 1720s. Samuel Truett's essay on the "lost worlds" of early America makes a fitting conclusion to the volume, as he examines how early historians and naturalists, including Thomas Jefferson, appropriated the pre-Columbian archaeological and historical record to serve a new imperial ethos. Contested Spaces is not without its problems. For instance, Mandrini's comparison of ~ the 1758 Comanche-Norteno attack on the isolated Franciscan mission of San Saba
