Brian DeLay received his PhD from Harvard University in 2004. At CU Professor DeLay teaches classes on inter-ethnic borderlands, the American Southwest to 1900, Native American History, and contact-era dynamics in the Americas. He specializes in nineteenth-century United States and Mexican history, and has a particular interest in connections between independent native peoples and the interlocked histories of American nation states. His article "Independent Indians and the U.S.-Mexican War" (American Historical Review 112, Feb. 2007) has been awarded the 2008 Stuart Bernath Article Prize from the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations. He is co-author of the U.S. History Textbook Nation of Nations (McGraw Hill, 2007), and his book War of a Thousand Deserts will be published by Yale University Press in September of 2008. His next project will be a study of the international arms trade and Indian freedoms in the Americas during the long nineteenth century. He can be reached at brian.delay@colorado.edu
