Awful
Prof. Stuntz is the worst teacher I have ever taken. I am an A student, but I almost got an F in her class. Since I do not have credits, I could not drop her class. Do not take her or else you'll get an F.

This class is hard, she is a tough grader, but if you read the weekly chapter and use critical thinking you will pass. Take advantage of the extra credit opportunities she gives every week! If you don't put in the time and work than you won't pass. You have to work for your grade, plain and simple.

Awesome
Professor Stuntz' class is doable once you unravel the weekly work pattern. The weekly tasks seem like a lot, but they are short two to three paragraphs. Her feedback sharpened my learning. There is enough additional credit for homework and unlimited tries on quizzes. She also allowed us to voice our concerns about the pandemic crisis.

African Americans in Amrillo
Arcadia Press
Amarillo became a town in 1887 when merchants opened stores to cater to railroad workers. The first African Americans in the area were Jerry Callaway, who came to the area in 1888 with a white family, and Mathew “Bones” Hooks, a highly respected cowboy who moved to Amarillo in 1900 and later worked for the railroad. By 1908, five African American families had moved to Amarillo. The black community grew and people established churches, businesses, and schools. With the 1950s and 1960s, Amarillo citizens participated in ending segregation and bringing about equality. Today African Americans in Amarillo are still bound together by their churches but have access to many opportunities both locally and nationally. They are justifiably proud of their rich heritage.

"The Civilizations of the Southern Plains, 1860-1930" in Women on the North American Plains
Texas Tech University Press
The first comprehensive view of women on the North American Plains, these essays explore the richness, variety, and complexity of their experiences. From prehistory to the present, the Great Plains have played a significant role in the lives of women who moved to or across them, cleaving to cultural ideas and patterns while adapting to the rigors of the region. Twelve essays—arranged chronologically within sub-regions—draw upon innovative theoretical and methodological approaches, including gender/transgender studies, decolonization of Native peoples, and the influence of nation states. Richly grounded in the particular, these essays also contextualize the stories of specific women and locales within larger social, political, and economic trends. Individually and collectively, they reveal the intricate relations that tie together people and place. Here are long-needed perspectives on the diverse lives of women who have been—and who continue to be—too often ignored in wider histories of the Plains.

Hers, His, and Theirs: Community Property Law in Spain and Early Texas
Texas Tech University Press
"In the mid-1700s, in the tiny villa of San Fernando de Béxar, on the northern fringes of the Spanish Empire in North America, Hispanic women had legal rights that would have astonished their British counterparts half a continent to the east. Under Spanish law, even in the sparsely settled land that would one day become Texas, married women could own property in their own names. They could control and manage not only their own property but even that of their husbands. And if their property rights were infringed, they could seek redress in the courts.” —from the Introduction? ?In the Texas Republic, Spanish law came to be seen as more equitable than English common law in certain areas, especially women’s rights, and some Spanish traditions were adopted into Texas law. Upon statehood, traditions in community property and women’s legal status were written into the state constitution.??Through legal battles, documents, and court cases, Hers, His, and Theirs explores the evolution of Castilian law during the Spanish Reconquest and how those laws came to the New World and Texas. Jean A. Stuntz looks carefully at why the Spanish legal system developed so differently from any other European system and why it survived in Texas even after settlement by Anglos in the 1830s. She discusses what this system of community property offered that English common law did not and why this aspect of married women’s property rights has not been well studied.?
