• A Marriage Out West: Theresa and Frank Russell's Explorations in Arizona, 1900–1903 by Theresa Russell, Nancy J. Parezo and Don D. Fowler
• Heidi J. Osselaer

In 1900, Harvard anthropology instructor Frank Russell took his bride, Theresa, on an unusual honeymoon to northern Arizona. The location was chosen because Frank was suffering from tuberculosis and they hoped the arid climate would alleviate his condition, but also because he was seeking a significant site to excavate to enhance his professional credentials. Over the next four years, the young couple traveled more than 4,000 miles throughout the territory, journeys that authors Parezo and Fowler suggest were "done in haste and at first glance appear to be random wanderings to locate a Holy Grail" (10).

The book is divided into three quite distinct parts. The first section is a lengthy overview of Frank's travails in the academic world and will interest scholars seeking an understanding of the careers of pioneering archaeologists, ethnologists, and anthropologists. After years of fruitless searching for a site to excavate, Frank finally pivoted his research to focus on recording the memories of O'odham elders in southern Arizona. This section does not rehash his findings—those were published in The Pima Indians, which was ghost written by Theresa after Frank's death in 1903—but instead provides in-depth coverage of Frank's frustrations with securing funding and working with government agencies, all while balancing his academic teaching load, reminding us that little has changed in the profession over the past century.

Parezo and Fowler's portrayal of the Russells pulls no punches, revealing that they saw their own culture as superior to the Indigenous cultures they studied and that they placed precedence on their own research over the concerns of their subjects. The authors also show Theresa's personal growth as she adjusted to her new life "out West," learning some of the skills of her husband's trade—to pack artifacts or piece together pottery fragments—while overcoming the challenges of living in primitive conditions where scorching heat and the absence of water could be deadly. With Frank's encouragement Theresa eventually "overcame her preconceptions about proper dress and ladylike behavior" and adjusted to living in the desert (72).

During their travels, Theresa kept a journal, which, after Frank's death, she published as a twelve-part serial titled "In Pursuit of a Graveyard: Being the Trail of an Archaeological Wedding Journey" in Charles Lummis's Out West magazine. Excerpts from her travelogue, along with commentary from the authors, form the second, and strongest, part of the book. Theresa's witty and enjoyable writing deserves to be included in the pantheon [End Page 491] of Euro American women who wrote about frontier Arizona, including Martha Summerhayes, Clara Spalding Brown, and of course Sharlot Hall. For example, when asked by her husband what she thought about their temporary residence, she responded, "Well, you'll just carry that little problem of Immensity around with you as long as you run about in the desert. You'll never be able to leave it behind" (192–193). Of a sunset that broke her heart with its "flippant garishness," she wrote, "'Why, my beautiful Desert,' you hear yourself saying, 'I did not suppose you had it in you!'" (184).

The last section of the book examines Theresa's life after her husband's death, when she was an English professor at Stanford University, and it provides keen insight into how women of her era navigated professional careers. One appendix provides both Frank and Theresa's journal entries while a second appendix catalogs their archaeological work.

By trying to fit these three sections, each with different audiences, into one volume, Parezo and Fowler muddle their message, but Theresa Russell's writings shine in A Marriage Out West, and by resurrecting these two people from obscurity the authors make an important contribution to the history of the Southwest.

• 西婚：特蕾莎和弗兰克·罗素在1900–1903年间在亚利桑那州的探险活动，特蕾莎·罗素，南希·帕雷佐和唐·福勒

1900年，哈佛大学人类学讲师弗兰克·罗素（Frank Russell）带他的新娘特蕾莎（Theresa）到亚利桑那州北部度过了不寻常的蜜月。之所以选择这个地点，是因为弗兰克（Frank）患有结核病，他们希望干旱的气候能够缓解他的病情，而且还因为他正在寻找重要的发掘地点以提高他的职业素养。在接下来的四年中，这对年轻夫妇在整个领土上旅行了4000多英里，作者Parezo和Fowler认为这是“匆忙完成的，乍一看似乎是在寻找圣杯的过程中随意游荡”（10）。

这本书分为三个截然不同的部分。第一部分是对弗兰克在学术界的苦难的详尽概述，将吸引那些寻求了解考古学家，人种学家和人类学家的职业的学者。经过多年徒劳的挖掘工作，弗兰克终于将研究重点放在记录亚利桑那州南部奥德姆长老的记忆上。本部分不会重述他的发现，这些发现发表在《The Pima Indians》上。，这是弗兰克（Frank）于1903年去世后由特蕾莎（Theresa）撰写的鬼书，但在平衡他的学术教学负担的同时，更深入地介绍了弗兰克（Frank）在获得资金和与政府机构合作方面的挫败感，这提醒我们，在过去的一个世纪。

帕雷佐和福勒对罗素的刻画毫不费力，表明他们认为自己的文化优于他们所研究的土著文化，并且他们将自己的研究放在优先于他们所关注的问题上。作者还展示了特蕾莎（Theresa）在适应“西部”新生活的过程中的个人成长，她学习了丈夫交易的一些技巧-将手工艺品打包或拼凑出陶器碎片-同时克服了在炎热的原始环境中生活所面临的挑战缺水可能是致命的。在弗兰克（Frank）的鼓励下，特蕾莎（Theresa）最终“克服了她对正装和淑女举止的先入之见”，并适应了在沙漠中的生活（72）。

在旅行期间，Theresa保留了一份日记，在弗兰克去世后，她以12个部分的连续出版物的形式发表在了查尔斯·鲁米斯（Charles Lummis）的《Out West》杂志上，题为“追求墓地：成为考古学婚礼之旅的足迹”。她的游记摘录，以及作者的评论，构成了本书的第二部分，也是最重要的部分。特蕾莎（Theresa）的机智和令人愉悦的写作值得列入万神殿[End Page 491]撰写关于边境亚利桑那的欧籍美国女性的资料，包括玛莎·萨默海斯（Martha Summerhayes），克拉拉·斯伯丁布朗（Clara Spalding Brown），当然还有沙洛特·霍尔（Sharlot Hall）。例如，当她的丈夫问她对临时住所的看法时，她回答说：“好吧，只要你在沙漠中奔跑，你就会随身携带这个无处不在的小问题。能够将其抛在脑后”（192–193）。她的日落因其“轻浮的花哨般的刺痛”而使她心碎，她写道：“'为什么，我美丽的沙漠'，你会听到自己在说，'我没想到你有它！”（184）。

本书的最后一部分回顾了特蕾莎在丈夫去世后的生活，当时她是斯坦福大学的英语教授，它提供了敏锐的洞察力，使她对那个时代的女性如何驾驭职业生涯有了深刻的认识。一个附录提供了Frank和Theresa的日记条目，而另一个附录则列出了他们的考古工作。

帕雷佐和福勒试图通过将这三个不同受众的部分合而为一，弄乱了他们的信息，但是特蕾莎·罗素的著作在《西方婚姻》中大放异彩，并使这两个人从默默无闻中复活。西南的历史。
