Sherman and Grace Coolidge were a remarkable couple in many
respects. Sherman Coolidge (Runs On Top), born in the early 1860s
into the Northern band of Arapahos, experienced the extreme
violence of the Indian Wars, including the death of his father, as
a young boy. Grace Wetherbee Coolidge was born into wealth and
privilege in 1873, only to reject her life as a New York heiress
and become a missionary on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming.
It was there that Sherman and Grace met and later married in 1902.
After eight years together at Wind River, both went on to achieve
prominence: Sherman as the president of the Native-run reform group
the Society of American Indians (1911-1923), Grace as the author of
Teepee Neighbors, a book describing her time on the reservation
that drew praise from critics such as H. L. Mencken. Sherman was an
Episcopal priest and a mesmerizing speaker who had the unique
ability to blend his assimilated Western perspective with Arapaho
values to educate the American public about the significant
challenges facing Native peoples, including endemic poverty,
racism, and inequality. Offering unprecedented entree into the most
significant writings and documents of a leading Native American
advocate and his wife, this volume is an intimate portrait of their
life and contributes to our understanding of American Indian
activism at a key moment of Indigenous resurgence against the
settler state.
Is time gendered? This international, interdisciplinary anthology
studies the early modern era to analyse how material objects
express, shape, complicate, and extend human concepts of time and
how people commemorate time differently. It examines conceptual
aspects of time, such as the categories women and men use to define
it, and the somatic, lived experiences of time ranging between an
instant and the course of family life. Drawing on a wide array of
textual and material primary sources, this book assesses the ways
that gender and other categories of difference affect
understandings of time.
