He follows this section with an important analysis of intertribal resistance and its role in the Great Lakes. As the final two chapters discuss the event itself and its aftermath, one can clearly see seeds of memory-making and the role of narrative in the emerging American nation. As a brief piece, there are moments when one might like to see more detail, however, as an introductory volume this work would be well suited to the classroom. Of particular value is how Calloway deftly navigates the political intrigues of the era, the difficulties of managing an expansive settler populace and the ways the Americans sought to legitimize their hold on the west. While the event was both a defeat and an emerging crisis, Calloway makes clear the path ahead for the Americans through the success of Anthony Wayne, the Jay and Pickney treaties, and continued dispossession of indigenous land.

Coxey’s Army has much to recommend it. Alexander writes clearly and crisply, and he effectively conveys the crisis of the moment that produced the Coxey movement as well as the considerable colorfulness of the characters involved, including not only Coxey (who named a son “Legal Tender” shortly before the march) but also accomplices such as A. P. B. Bozarro (mysteriously introduced at his public appearances as “the Great Unknown”), “Oklahoma Sam” Pfrimmer, and Carl Browne, “a journalist, political agitator, patent medicine salesman, carnival barker, and sketch artist” (40). The same brevity that serves as one of the book’s strengths (a U.S. history professor could easily envision assigning it to undergraduates) also becomes a weakness at times, though. The ties between Coxey’s army and other momentous and certainly related events of 1894, such as the emerging strength of the Populist Party, the Pullman strike, and, especially, the national miners’ strike led by Coxey’s friend John McBride, are not developed or considered as fully as they certainly could have been, and even the endnotes are lacking at times—more than once, this reviewer wanted to see the sources for certain pieces of information, only to find that no citation exists. This brief book will not supplant the older studies of Coxey’s army by Donald L. McMurry and Carlos Schwantes, but it certainly takes its place squarely alongside them.

The General Lloyd Tilghman Monument captures the instant that the Confederate general received a mortal bullet wound (59). Tilghman extends his arms in agony, holding his sword upward, while his horse rears back from the shock of the blow. This bronze in particular serves as a vivid and powerful reminder that Vicksburg claimed the lives of men of all ranks and reputations. The Cavalry portion of the Wisconsin Monument, meanwhile, shows the urgency of being called upon to make split-second, life-or-death decisions (19). A cavalryman leaps from his dying horse in order to confront and return fire at his opponent. And the relief panels of the Iowa Monument portray with unrelenting accuracy and detail Union soldiers aiding and comforting their dying comrades (50). There is a vital and unmistakable sense of both humanity and tragedy in each of these works of art. We are being asked to recall over and over again that the inferno that was the Battle of Vicksburg consumed thousands indiscriminately. Most monuments at Vicksburg are devoted to the reality of war, but perhaps the most important and moving of all is one based upon a fiction. It envisages a meeting of reconciliation between Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis that did not and could not have taken place given the tragedy of Lincoln’s assassination in April 1865. The monument is inspired by the compelling and ironic fact that both leaders were born in the commonwealth of Kentucky. According to Panhorst, the original design was to show the Lincoln and Davis bronzes shaking hands, but apparently that notion was subsequently discarded (107). I wonder if it is time to re-evaluate that decision and consider resetting the two figures in closer proximity to one another. At a time when the nation is struggling anew with the legacy of that awful war fought against the terrible evil of slavery, we might do well to attempt to fulfill, even if only symbolically, Lincoln’s call to “bind up the nation’s wounds.” If Lincoln, the man who put slavery on the road to abolition, toiled so painfully and relentlessly to rescue and strengthen a union of American people that was even more fundamental than the one that exists among the states, then who are we not to continue to try to do the same?

It is a mostly positive history of innovators and doers, of strivers and settlers, and is written for a general audience. Midwest Maize is a useful source for anyone seeking to understand the importance of this grain in American history and especially the Midwest. While little in this synthesis will be new for academics, most readers will find it to be an entertaining read. Maize is a type of grass, with big leaves that effectively convert sunlight and nutrients into growth. Humans have been tinkering with the crop for thousands of years. It was a vital crop for Mexico and Central America more than 5,000 years ago. By 500 A.D. the crop had adapted to northern climates and was grown in what is today the state of New York. It was easy to grow and provided lots of food for native societies, as well as Europeans. One ear of corn provides as much grain as 100 ears of wheat. Maize became known as Indian corn and then simply corn in the American colonies. Corn helped conquer the American frontier, feeding generations of settlers as they moved west. Crop-fed farmers and city dwellers spawned all sorts of innovations that helped to bring the crop from seed to table. Tools and machinery were made to help harvest it—plows and tractors cut labor needs, for example. Grain elevators, grain bins, stockyards, and railroads all evolved to help produce and transport the crop. There is rarely a technological advance that does not appear tied to corn, from cast-iron stoves to canned foods to pivot irrigation. Much of the book is a history of white men and their inventions. The grain is often consumed by livestock and poultry, rather than by humans. Corn is the only one of the major three grain crops—the others are rice and wheat—that is widely fed to Book Reviews","PeriodicalId":338407,"journal":{"name":"Ohio Valley History","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121192878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
