Book Review

Catarino Garza's Revolution on the Texas-Mexico Border. By Elliott Young. (Durham: Duke University Press, 2004. xvi, 407 pp. Cloth, $84.95, ISBN 0-8223-3308-2. Paper, $23.95, ISBN 0-8223-3320-1.)
This book is a part of the American Encounters/Global Interactions series edited by Gilbert M. Joseph and Emily S. Rosenberg. As such, it aims, as do all the contributions to this series, to develop fresh interpretive views on the history of the global presence of the United States, the extension of its power, and the encounters and interplay between the global and the local.	1
To do this Elliott Young, like other authors in the series, pursued scholarship based on multiarchival historical research. Following a binational research model initiated by a generation of previous historians (for example, Juan Gómez Quiñones, James Sandos, Linda Hall, Don Coerver, Ward Albro, and W. Dirk Raat, to name a few), Young not only mined the federal, state, local, and family archives in Mexico and the United States; he also conducted oral history projects that involved interviews with Catarino Garza's living relatives and reconstructed several corridos, or South Texas ballads. In addition, he made extensive use of Garza's unpublished autobiography. In short, the research base is more than solid for his work on Garza's revolution on the Texas- Mexico border.	. . .
