SCULPTING QUITO is available now! In this richly researched study, Leslie E. Todd examines the role of domestic religious sculpture in eighteenth-century Quito, where polychrome devotional figures transcended churches and were integrated into everyday life. Drawing on archival sources including wills and dowries, Todd reveals how these objects shaped a distinctly Quitenian visual culture across class and social boundaries, at once reinforcing and complicating the colonial order.

We’re excited to share that Tim Seiter’s WRANGLING PELICANS: MILITARY LIFE IN TEXAS PRESIDIOS has received the Excellence in Historic Preservation Award from the Daughters of the American Revolution.

A richly detailed history of daily life on the eighteenth-century Texas Gulf Coast, WRANGLING PELICANS examines the experiences of Presidio La Bahía’s Hispano soldiers and the communities they helped shape. Through stories of diplomacy, conflict, family life, leisure, and resistance, the book offers a vivid and nuanced portrait of colonial Texas and the complexities of life at the edge of the Spanish Empire.

Congratulations to Tim Seiter on this outstanding recognition for preserving and illuminating an important chapter of Texas and American history.
