Journal of the Southwest archives from March 2001

Acknowledgments.
March 22, 2001... I am grateful to the people I have gone to for help in finding my way through the landscape of Apache culture. They shared their life stories and offered help, advice, and insight in assembling this volume. For help in reviewing the manuscript...

Introduction.
March 22, 2001... This issue of Journal of the Southwest is a collection of pieces gathered around a central theme: the life and works of my father, Grenville (Grennie) Goodwin. They are for the most part only loosely connected, each part bearing a stronger...

Grenville Goodwin.(excerpts from the 'Apache Diaries')
March 22, 2001... Although Grenville Goodwin was only thirty-three when he died in 1940, he had published several papers and two books about the Western Apache. Soon after his death, his great friend, anthropologist Edward Spicer, wrote that Goodwin's landmark...

Captive children.(excerpts from the 'Apache Diaries')(Excerpt)
March 22, 2001... "Captive Children" is a longer version of one of the chapters in my book The Apache Diaries. It appears in part 4 of that book following the conclusion of Grennie's Mexico diaries and begins to tell the story of my own search for survivors and...

Carmela.
March 22, 2001... We--that is, Barney Burns, my wife Margot, my son Seth, and his wife Kathy Doherty--have been camping in Mexico, exploring one of the abandoned Apache camps visited and surveyed by Grennie in 1931. All trace of Carmen has apparently vanished,...

Jan and Grennie.
March 22, 2001... "Jan and Grennie" was written as a single, very long chapter in an early draft of The Apache Diaries. In the published version of that book, I used only the first half. In this, the original version, "Jan and Grennie" begins immediately...

Letters.(excerpts from the 'Apache Diaries')(Excerpt)
March 22, 2001... "Letters" was originally a chapter in The Apache Diaries but was eventually dropped during the editing process. It begins by comparing the two mysteries with which I begin the quest of The Apache Diaries. the Sierra Madre Apaches and Grenville...

The San Carlos Experience.
March 22, 2001... This section was not written as part of The Apache Diaries; it would have been too much of a digression, but the journey attempted in "The San Carlos Experience" was very much on my mind as I wrote the last part of The Apache Diaries. I knew...

An Apache Family's Day.(excerpts from the 'Apache Diaries')(Excerpt)
March 22, 2001... "An Apache Family's Day," Grennie's fictionalized but entirely accurate description of a day in the life of a typical Apache family in the 1930s, seems a fitting addition to this volume. When Grennie wrote it, he meant it to embody those things...

An Apache Rancheria.(excerpts from the 'Apache Diaries')(Excerpt)
March 22, 2001... This section is the sum total of the surveys and inventories both my father and I have made of the major Apache rancheria in the Sierra las Espuelas mountains in Mexico, some thirty miles south of the New Mexico boot heel. Grennie was...

Where did they go?(excerpts from the 'Apache Diaries')
March 22, 2001... The people who built the rancherias in the Sierra las Espuelas and the people of the other scattered bands to the south were the last holdouts, the survivors of the longest war waged against an indigenous people by either the U.S. or the...
