Although he was not a professional photographer, Moorehouse, who was a businessman and military officer, produced over 9,000 glass-plate negatives, one-third with Indians as his subjects. This collection depicting the lives of Pacific Northwest Indians at the turn of the 20th century is a valuable aid to tribal researchers and historians, because the individuals photographed are identified by name. Fleming, a retired photo archivist at the Smithsonian National Anthropological Archives, provides an introduction to Native American photography.

Written by the commander of the Allied Military Mission to the Greek Resistance fighting the Germans, this 1976 work analyzes the politics of the Greek resistance movement during World War II from a conservative vantage. Woodhouse portrays the Greek peasants that supported the communist guerillas as uneducated, superstitious, and deluded by unscrupulous leaders. He discusses the political rifts that resulted in the Greek Civil War and the military dictatorship that was to rule Greece until 1974. In addition, significant attention is paid to the military history of the conflict. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
