Book Description

August 22, 2001

Tony Hillerman is beloved for his novels of intrigue in the American Southwest. In Tony Hillerman’s Navajoland, Laurance Linford takes readers on a journey through the Four Corners region to the haunts of Hillerman’s characters. Offered in encyclopedic form, each entry gives the common name of a particular location, the Navajo name and history, and a description of the location’s significance in various Hillerman novels. An understanding of the Navajo names and their relations to the landscape will lend a new dimension to the characters and events Tony Hillerman created.

This expanded third edition is updated to include all 72 sites from Hillerman’s final and location-rich novel, The Shape Shifter.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Tony Hillerman's popular mysteries, set in the Four Corners region, have helped fuel America's fascination with the Southwest over the last decade. Indeed, his books have prompted the publication of ancillary volumes like Tony Hillerman's Indian Country Map & Guide (Time Traveler Maps, 1998) and Tony Hillerman: A Reader's Checklist and Reference Guide (CheckerBee Publishing, 2001). So Laurance D. Linford (Navajo Places) is in good company and targets an already established readership (Hillerman's preface will help sales) with Tony Hillerman's Navajoland: Hideouts, Haunts, and Havens in the Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee Mysteries. Appreciative of "the way in which Tony infuses into his stories the Navajo affinity for and sense of stewardship of the land," Linford fleshes out the places "that serve as backdrop to Hillerman's yarns" with physical, historical and cultural information. One map and 54 photos not seen by PW.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Useful, May 23, 2007

Franz J. Darius (Scottsdale, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bet that 99 p.c. of Hillerman readers do not know the Four Corners region, the Navajo, Hopi and Zuni reservations to an extend that they can exactly imagine what Joe is looking at when he describes where he is presently driving or standing. Here is where this book comes in. It gives a load of details about small communities, certain mountains or washes or canyons or what have you. b/w photos... well, better than nothing. Besides, the book offers some extra goodies like the Dinee names of places and how to pronounce them. I keep this book on the table whenever I read a Hillerman book.

This book gives a wonderful, alive, feeling about the Hillerman stories. It puts the reader inside the scenes , and makes one understand the characters even better. It also makes you long to be there and visit those special places, and preserve them for all future readers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Navajoland, August 29, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Well rsearched and presented. Although o.f most interest to Hillerman fans, I would carry the book on any western trip to Hillerman country, good descriptions of the country. Tie in with the Indian Country AAA Map issued by the Auttomobile Club of Southern California, and Tony Hillerman's Indian Country Map and Guide. Now that i have read all of Hillerman's books, and am not traveling west any longer, I regret that this book was not available earlier. Recommend possession,fun to browse, even when not reading one of the Leaphorn/Chee books.
