Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins (Northern Paiute) has long been recognized
as an important nineteenth-century American Indian activist and
writer. Yet her acclaimed performances and speaking tours across
the United States, along with the copious newspaper articles that
grew out of those tours, have been largely ignored and forgotten.
The Newspaper Warrior presents new material that enhances public
memory as the first volume to collect hundreds of newspaper
articles, letters to the editor, advertisements, book reviews, and
editorial comments by and about Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins. This
anthology gathers together her literary production for newspapers
and magazines from her 1864 performances in San Francisco to her
untimely death in 1891, focusing on the years 1879 to 1887, when
Winnemucca Hopkins gave hundreds of lectures in the eastern and
western United States; published her book, Life among the Piutes:
Their Wrongs and Claims (1883); and established a bilingual school
for Native American children. Editors Cari M. Carpenter and Carolyn
Sorisio masterfully assemble these exceptional and long-forgotten
articles in a call for a deeper assessment and appreciation of
Winnemucca Hopkins's stature as a Native American author, while
also raising important questions about the nature of Native
American literature and authorship.
