War and the Southwest Series Series editors: Richard G. Lowe, Gustav L. Seligmann, Calvin L. Christman
The University of North Texas Press has undertaken to publish a series of significant books about War and the Southwest. This broad category includes first-hand accounts of military experiences by men and women of the Southwest, histories of warfare involving the people of the Southwest, and analyses of military life in the Southwest itself. The Southwest is defined loosely as those states of the United States west of the Mississippi River and south of a line from San Francisco to St. Louis, as well as the borderlands straddling the Mexico-United States boundary. The series will include works involving military life in peacetime in addition to books on warfare itself. It will range chronologically from the first contact between indigenous tribes and Europeans to the present. The series is based on the belief that warfare is an important if unfortunate fact of life in human history and that understanding war is a requirement for a full understanding of the American past.

Preface
"Crossing the Pond" is a term which Native Americans used to describe the process of being transferred overseas for military duty during World War II. This was both an event and a duty taken quite seriously by American Indians who participated in every aspect of wartime America. On the American home front Native Americans gave comparable and sometimes exemplary contributions to civilian defense work, Red Cross drives, and war bond purchases despite a severe labor shortage on most reservations. Their story, however, reaches far beyond these normal, mainstream activities. Native Americans also resisted a serious propaganda effort by Nazi spies, discovered themselves stereotyped in the media as uncivilized and exotic, and in return, offered their own views of white society. Finally, American Indians took advantage of the wartime and postwar era to gain political, economic and educational opportunities.
