3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Speaking Through the AspensBy ElizaI have just received and begun to read this scholarly; but readable text. Having long been interested in the subject of Basque tree carvings; I originally ordered this book in hopes that it would give me a hint about where to find these tree as I would like to photograph them. I am not sure that I will find specific locations; but I do believe this comprehensive volume will enlighten me on the subject of Basque Tree Carvings as well as the Basque culture in America. Antidotes and photographs make the text quite enjoyable. I am delighted with the book so far and would highly recommend it.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

Enhanced with 94 black-and-white photographs and line drawingsBy Midwest Book ReviewCarving names; dates; phrases; figures and symbols into trees is probably as old as the human race itself. Today in the 'Basque country' of California and Nevada; the ubiquitous aspen tree is occasionally found to have been subjected to mysterious carvings called 'arborglyphs'; often featuring human and animal figures and with words or symbols in several languages. In "Speaking Through The Aspens: Basque Tree Carvings In California And Nevada"; J. Mallea-Olaetxe (an independent scholar and researcher at the Center for Basque Studies at the University of Nevada; Reno) has compiled an historical overview and representative examples of arborglyphs and provides as a context an introduction to the lives of Basque sheepherders in the America West. Enhanced with 94 black-and-white photographs and line drawings; "Speaking Through The Aspens" is a seminal work of original scholarship and a strongly recommended addition to community and academic library Basque Studies and American Western History Studies reference collections and supplemental reading lists.
