Here are some suggested books published this year to help narrow your choices.

n New Mexicos Palace of the Governors: Highlights from the Collections edited by Daniel Kosharek and Alicia Romero. (Museum of New Mexico Press). From front to back, this book is source of enjoyment, admiration and enlightenment, containing materials of wildly diverse subjects and many periods in the museums collections. For example, theres the image on the front cover, and on page 157, of five men of the Santa Fe Fire Department bearing intense expressions and wearing smart deep red coats, dark pants and stylish hats. The photo, an ambrotype, was taken between 1861 and 1880, and helps the reader understand the collecting function of the Palace of the Governors in Santa Fe. Ambrotype and tintype, the book states, are cased image processes that followed the ground-breaking daguerreotype. The book is a companion to the exhibit A Past Rediscovered set to open March 6, 2020 at the New Mexico History Museum in Santa Fe. A Race Around the World: The True Story of Nellie Bly & Elizabeth Bisland written by Caroline Starr Rose, illustrated by Alexandra Bye. (Albert Whitman & Company). On Nov. 14, 1889, the two ladies in the title both New York journalists began their competition in a global race against each other and against time. Nellie headed east by steamer. Elizabeth westward by train. Nellie eventually won the race. But there was more at stake. The participants were making a statement about womens independence.

Byes illustrations are bright, attractive and draw the reader to the art and the text. The audience is ages 4-8. Our History is the Future: Standing Rock versus the Dakota Access Pipeline, and the Long Tradition of Indigenous Resistance by Nick Estes. (Verso). From his indigenous perspective, the author details how a small 2016 Indian protest of the planned Dakota Access oil pipeline blossomed into the largest indigenous protest movement of this century. Estes also thinks of the anti-pipeline movement as a statement of goals growing out of the tradition within the long history of native resistance in the United States. The context relates in part to the contentious white-indigenous relations stretching back into the 19th century.

Estes is a citizen of the Lower Brule Sioux tribe and an assistant professor of American Studies at the University of New Mexico.
