Publisher's Notes
A trader for more than forty years, third-generation Southwesterner, founder of the Durango Collection, & raconteur, Jackson Clark presents a series of poignant, fascinating memories of people & places from his youth & his days as a dealer in Southwestern art. Through his eyes we meet such legendary figures as John Wetherill, Harry Goulding, Father Harold Liebler, & Louis L'Amour, as well as some of the best Navajo & Pueblo artisans. These engaging tales offer a unique picture of the mid-twentieth-century Southwest as few contemporaries saw it, & as none are likely to see it again.

Immortelles
by Mireille Marokvia
In Immortelles: Memoir of a Will-o'-the Wisp, Mireille Marokvia blurs the distinction between the real and the imagined to create not only a magical and poetic memoir, but an account of how a woman gives voice to her vision, and to the ghosts that continue to haunt her memory. A moving elegy of a lost world, it is testimony to the splendor of childhood, even one touched by death.

Stardust Melody
by Richard M. Sudhalter
This is the definitive biography of Hoagy Carmichael, who was one of the leading songwriters of the great age of American popular song, from the 1920s to 1960s. Carmichael was comparable to such songwriters as Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Richard Rodgers, Cole Porter, and George Gershwin, but, while they were urban and New York oriented, Carmichael had a small-town Midwest focus. Carmichael was later featured as a singer and pianist in Hollywood film. Dick Sudhalter, co-author of a biography of Bix Beiderbecke, emphasizes jazz roots in this brilliant biography.
