Book Synopsis Back to the Red Road by : Chandra Lahiri
Download or read book Back to the Red Road written by Chandra Lahiri and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-19 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book Savoring memories of his 2018 solo pilgrimage across the Native sites of the Great Plains, a little at a time, every morsel full of riches, Chandra Lahiri eventually got to thinking of Crazy Horse and more so of the two women who played such a massively influential role in his life, even indirectly shaping the course of his career. His first love interest, Black Buffalo Woman, disappears from the pages of history shortly after the attempt on his life by her husband. His wife, Black Shawl, vanishes almost equally completely soon after his assassination at Fort Robinson. What became of them? How did their lives play out? Did they have descendants, perhaps living today? Did they ever find happiness again? Understandably, they have been of limited or no interest to historians over the years, living as they did in the gigantic shadow of the legendary Crazy Horse, whose story is the very stuff of sagas. It is somehow fitting that an entire mountain is required to build a modern-day memorial to him, and it is unlikely that the sculptors take much notice of the fauna at its base, far, far below the peak. These women have effectively become footnotes to his story, if they appear at all. Knowing what he now does of them, Chandra considers this historical oblivion grossly unfair and unjust after the impactful roles they played in the great warrior’s life. This is their story. About the Author Chandra Lahiri is an “Indian from India” who lives in the Sultanate of Oman. After many years as a global CEO, he now focuses on his lifelong passion for Native American heritage, especially of the northern Great Plains Nations. His wife is a Special Needs Educator in Oman, and his two sons live and work in the U.S.A. He loves hearing from like-minded readers—contact details and more pictures, maps, etc., can be found at www.dawnvoyager.com.
Download or read book Crazy Horse written by Kingsley M. Bray and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2014-10-30 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crazy Horse was as much feared by tribal foes as he was honored by allies. His war record was unmatched by any of his peers, and his rout of Custer at the Little Bighorn reverberates through history. Yet so much about him is unknown or steeped in legend. Crazy Horse: A Lakota Life corrects older, idealized accounts—and draws on a greater variety of sources than other recent biographies—to expose the real Crazy Horse: not the brash Sioux warrior we have come to expect but a modest, reflective man whose courage was anchored in Lakota piety. Kingsley M. Bray has plumbed interviews of Crazy Horse’s contemporaries and consulted modern Lakotas to fill in vital details of Crazy Horse’s inner and public life. Bray places Crazy Horse within the rich context of the nineteenth-century Lakota world. He reassesses the war chief’s achievements in numerous battles and retraces the tragic sequence of misunderstandings, betrayals, and misjudgments that led to his death. Bray also explores the private tragedies that marred Crazy Horse’s childhood and the network of relationships that shaped his adult life. To this day, Crazy Horse remains a compelling symbol of resistance for modern Lakotas. Crazy Horse: A Lakota Life is a singular achievement, scholarly and authoritative, offering a complete portrait of the man and a fuller understanding of his place in American Indian and United States history.

Book Synopsis The Spirit of Time by : Peter A Hainsworth
Download or read book The Spirit of Time written by Peter A Hainsworth and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2021-12-02 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE NOVEL! THE SPIRIT OF TIME. There is no one reason for having written this story. In my lifetime I have collected within my memory many thoughts and facts of Australia. With this in mind, I have attempted to tell things as they are and not be politically correct in whom I might hurt or not. To assume is to allow others to experience what indeed is in your intellect to do. I have placed a heroine as the main character in the book to allow for the difference between the ugliness of man to fight, against that of the female insight into love. Blending the two, I hope to have captured life in reality. We have taken the time zone back to the forties at the start to enable us to have a greater understanding of the pioneers as they struggled under greater adversity than they do today. Having said that, it was of course the right of the Indigenous people to say they had those hardships before the white man. It was because of them the people were able to expand this Island and in that, had the right to be themselves then and also today. Perhaps this is the reason I have placed a great emphasis on them and the customs. To capture the dreamtime in one’s mind is to know who you are! Having achieved that I wished to give some insight so others may find peace in their life time! Politically there remains an undercurrent of stupid acquiescence that threatens to demolish this once great country. This is not directed towards any one group, but more to the point ridiculing to the apathy of my fellow Australians. Their being afraid of what they do not know creates this monster termed as racism. The towns, places, plants along with the wild life are real and if this book can get one person to seek out what is out there then I have achieved the need that is yours. The realness of the Indigenous people of the region along with their language are also real and as you find the beauty, you would be one step towards thanking the pioneers for their strength and tenacity.

It's about understanding your emotions around money, knowing who you can turn to for support and being aware of your subconscious beliefs about self-worth. Melanie Eusebe, founder of Money Moves, shares the tools and resources you need to reset your relationship with money, and take charge of your financial happiness, whatever your situation, and regardless of the economy.

Book Synopsis Representative Americans by : Norman K. Risjord
Download or read book Representative Americans written by Norman K. Risjord and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2002-10-23 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans in the middle decades of the nineteenth century were a people with boundless energy capable of heroic deeds, monumental achievements, and tragic errors. In The Civil War Generation, his newest volume in The Representative Americans series, noted scholar Norman K. Risjord uses biographical sketches to create a composite portrait of the United States during and immediately after the Civil War. Risjord begins his study with Stephen A. Douglas and Frederick Douglass, who provide two different viewpoints on the events leading to the conflict, while Harriet Tubman represents a form of social activism during the same years. Profiles of Stonewall Jackson and William Tecumseh Sherman, as well as infantryman James Anderson, give the reader an insightful view of the men fighting the war. Risjord then leads the reader inside both the Northern and Southern governments as well as the Reconstruction Era through the eyes of people such as William H. Seward and Thaddeus Stevens. Looking at the postwar period, Risjord examines the social and economic changes the conflict wrought, describing the lives of Clara Barton and Cornelius Vanderbilt. As the nation's eyes turned westward, the tragic tale of Crazy Horse unfolds, as well as the chronicle of two of the first scientists to explore the new land. Masterfully written and eminently readable, The Civil War Generation brings to life one of our nation's most turbulent decades and will be of great value to students of the Civil War.

Book Synopsis Crazy Horse and Custer by : Stephen E. Ambrose
Download or read book Crazy Horse and Custer written by Stephen E. Ambrose and published by Anchor. This book was released on 1996-05-01 with total page 551 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The full story of what led Crazy Horse and Custer to that fateful day at the Little Bighorn, from bestselling historian Stephen E. Ambrose. On the sparkling morning of June 25, 1876, 611 U.S. Army soldiers rode toward the banks of the Little Bighorn in the Montana Territory, where 3,000 Indians stood waiting for battle. The lives of two great warriors would soon be forever linked throughout history: Crazy Horse, leader of the Oglala Sioux, and General George Armstrong Custer of the Seventh Cavalry. Both were men of aggression and supreme courage. Both had become leaders in their societies at very early ages; both had been stripped of power, and in disgrace had worked to earn back the respect of their people. And to both of them, the unspoiled grandeur of the Great Plains of North America was an irresistible challenge. Their parallel lives would pave the way, in a manner unknown to either, for an inevitable clash between two nations fighting for possession of the open prairie.
Book Synopsis The Battle of the Greasy Grass/Little Bighorn by : Debra Buchholtz
Download or read book The Battle of the Greasy Grass/Little Bighorn written by Debra Buchholtz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In June of 1876, the U.S. government’s plan to pressure the Lakota and Cheyenne people onto reservations came to a dramatic and violent end with a battle that would become enshrined in American memory. In the eyes of many Americans at the time, the Battle of Little Bighorn represented a symbolic struggle between the civilized and the savage. Known as the Battle of the Greasy Grass to the Lakota, the Battle of Little Bighorn to the people who suppressed them, and as Custer’s Last Stand in the annals of popular culture, the event continues to captivate students of American history. In The Battle of Little Bighorn, Debra Buchholtz narrates the history of the battle and critically examines the legacy it has left. Through government documents, newspaper articles, and eyewitness accounts, Buchholtz situates the material and symbolic impact of the battle at the time. Using popular film and cultural references, she investigates the ways in which the wake of the event continues to shape the way students understand indigenous peoples, the Wild West, and the history of America.
Book Synopsis Early Conference and Executive Reports of the Labor Party in New South Wales, 1912-1917 by : Michael Hogan
Download or read book Early Conference and Executive Reports of the Labor Party in New South Wales, 1912-1917 written by Michael Hogan and published by Federation Press. This book was released on 2008-06-27 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume chronicles the increasing divisions inside the Labor Party that came to a head in the disastrous split in 1916 over conscription for overseas military service. The central figure of this era was William Holman, who became Premier in June 1913 when James McGowen retired from that office. Before conscription became the central issue Holman had come to be heartily detested by many in the extra-parliamentary party, largely because of his refusal to do anything to abolish, or curb the power of, the Upper House. The AWU and its journal, The Australian Worker, led the criticism of Holman and his Government during these years. For a few years Holman's superb political skills guaranteed his survival. However, by 1916 Holman's enemies had organized a tightly disciplined modern faction, the 'Industrial Section', (later the 'Industrial Vigilance Council') to take control of the Executive and Conference and force policy changes on Holman. When the conscription issue reached a climax with the first plebiscite ordered by Prime Minister Hughes, the party at Commonwealth and State level split. Both Hughes and Holman were expelled from the party, continuing in office in new Nationalist administrations, leaving a factionalised Labor Party to begin the process of reconstruction.See Labor Pains Series link, to the right, for details of other Volumes.
