Aurelius O. Carpenter: Photographer of the Mendocino Frontier By Marvin A. Schenck, Karen Holmes, and Sherrie Smith-Ferri Bumping along rutted dirt roads in a horse drawn wagon, an intrepid photographer named Aurelius O. Carpenter carted his camera equipment across the frontier of northern California’s rural Mendocino County region. For nearly forty years, beginning in the early 1870s, he documented the lives of Pomo Indians and White settlers; the coming of the railroad, logging and shipping industries; along with the agricultural endeavors and the natural beauties of this area. The first examination of Carpenter’s life and career, this book brings to life an important period of California history. 120 pages, includes some 100 duotone photographs drawn from the collections of the Grace Hudson Museum, softcover & hardcover. Softcover: $19.95 Hardcover: $34.95

Grace Hudson, Artist of the Pomo Indians: A Biography By Lucienne Lanson and Patricia Tetzlaff This newly released and lavishly illustrated book chronicles the life and times of Grace Carpenter Hudson, daughter of Northern California pioneers and one of the West’s most accomplished painters of Native Americans. Grace Hudson’s story encompasses the westward movement, the conflict between Native Americans and white settlers, and the culture of the Pomo Indians of Northern California. Grace’s more than 650 oil portraits of her Pomo Indian neighbors provide a unique contribution to Western art and one that will never be equaled. Her stunning and realistic portrayal of Pomo children became her passion, caught the eye of the public, and made her a national celebrity by the age of thirty. For more than forty years, Grace and her husband, Dr. John Hudson, a physician and ethnographer, dedicated their lives to the study and preservation of the Pomo Indian culture. Extensive personal correspondence as well as previously unpublished photographs provides today’s audience with new insight into the lives of this remarkable couple. 160 pages, 171 illustrations, softcover & hardcover.

Circles of Life: Katsina Imagery on Hopi Wicker Basketry By Judith W. Finger and Andrew D. Finger While the Hopi people are well known for their skill and artistry in creating ceramics, jewelry, and most especially, katsina dolls, little attention has been paid to Hopi wicker basketry, and even less to the use of katsina imagery on this medium. As the authors note, "Hopi wicker basketry plaques can be appreciated on many levels. Viewers can admire them as works of art and marvel at their makers’ talents. They can identify a katsina image and glimpse the integral part katsinam play in Hopi life. They can understand these plaques’ importance in sustaining Hopi traditions and the role they have played in Hopi and non-Hopi relations." 104 pages, more than 100 color images and B & W photos, softcover only. $24.95

Inspired Objects: The Crafts of Mendocino County Catalogue of a Juried Exhibit at the Grace Hudson Museum 28 pages, includes 30 color images of craft pieces in exhibit and a short essay tracing the history of crafts in Mendocino County. $6.95

Roots of Beauty - Video This 18 minute video uses film and weavers' voices to detail the complex processes through which Pomo Indian weavers cultivate, manage, harvest and prepare the native materials used in their famous baskets. The wealth of time, specialized knowledge and skill involved in transforming living plants into beautiful woven vessels are unappreciated though essential components of this art. This video also demonstrates the often overlooked sophistication of Indian land use and management and raises issues of differing worldviews. Available exclusively from the Grace Hudson Museum Bookstore. $15.00
