Book Review

Indian Country: Travels in the American Southwest, 1840–1945. By Martin Padget. (Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 2004. xiv + 250 pp. Illustrations, notes, index. $37.95.)

From John Wesley Powell to Georgia O'Keeffe to those drawn to Arizona's New Age tourist vortex of Sedona, some Anglo-Americans have long exhibited a fascination with the Southwest. Lured by its stark topography and hybrid Native American, Spanish, and Mexican culture, Anglos have traveled though this region describing it in words, documenting it with photographs, and interpreting it through art. It is this written and visual record that serves as the subject of Martin Padget's Indian Country. In a broad overview of regional literary and artistic production, Padget reevaluates various authors, artists, and genres of southwestern travel writing, asserting that they were of not only regional but national consequence.
