The Mirror of Literature, Amusement, and Instruction; Volume 17

Praise for Tracks Along the Left Coast&#8220;Tracks Along the Left Coast more than accomplishes its self&#8211;appointed task of celebrating de Angulo&#8217;s legacy.&#8221; &#8212;Rain Taxi&#8220;Schelling's biography of Jaime de Angulo&#8212;'cattle puncher, medical doctor, bohemian, buckeroo,' among other things&#8212;presents a fascinating, full&#8211;bodied portrait of a man and an era, as well as delving deep into California's Native history. De Angulo's isn't a household name, but in Schelling's work the man called by Ezra Pound the 'American Ovid' comes blazing to life in all his singular brilliance.&#8221; &#8212;Stephen Sparks, Literary Hub&#8220;Jaime de Angulo! If you could corral into one volume all the legends he inspired, you would already have given us a book worth reading, but poet Andrew Schelling has been able, in this magnificent, long&#8211;awaited biography, to reshape the myth into a human being. In a larger frame, Tracks Along the Left Coast illustrates something of the troubling ease with which Modernism, hand in hand with the new science of anthropology, fixed and adapted what it imagined as 'the Primitive.' As his personal evanescence flickered and burned through the decades, de Angulo shot direction into the skies; we see why generations of Western poets, musicians, and artists were drawn to him, beyond that brilliant intellect. Through California foothills his horse galloped him, naked but for a jockstrap: if you blinked you would miss him.&#8221; &#8212;Kevin Killian, author of Poet Be Like God and Impossible Princess

"It is a treat to have a wonderfully erudite scholar determined to instruct and entertain readers. . . . In an historiographical world in which historians are expected to be balanced and practise cool ironic detachment, it is fun to read a book where the writer&rsquo;s heart is always on his sleeve. Linebaugh gives a marvellous portrait of one of the most interesting periods in British and Irish history, taking the side of the disadvantaged against those who wanted to keep the disadvantaged in their place."
