Book excerpt: When Cassandra Ringwald, a psychologist, accepts an offer from an attorney to do a psychological evaluation on one of his clients, she thinks it will be good for her budding career. Cassie has no idea that she might end up nearly paying with her life. Cassie is hired to evaluate Homer Johnson, a young Native American man who has been brought up on kidnapping charges. The first time that Cassie meets with him, she is repulsed by his attitude and also by the swastikas that he has on his shoes. She is also semi intrigued by his character--he is clearly more intelligent than the skinheads that he hangs out with, but he seems to want to protect them. As the story of what happened the night Anerd Woods disappeared continues to unravel, with little help from Homer, Cassie becomes even more determined to find the truth. She wants to know why Homer is staying so quiet when his whole life is hanging on the line. Cassie sets out on her journey to find more answers. The deeper she digs, the more she learns that there are many hidden aspects of this case--greed, self-interest, private agendas and danger to her and those around her.

Book Synopsis Modoc Vengeance by : Daniel Woodhead
Download or read book Modoc Vengeance written by Daniel Woodhead and published by Daniel Woodhead III. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1873, the Modoc War at Tule Lake and the lava beds in Northern California was big news - international as well as national. Historians have written that were it not for Custer's shocking defeat at the Little Big Horn three years later, the Modoc War would stand out as the most significant Indian war in America's western history. It is an intriguing, spell-binding story of how a small band of renegade Modocs, from their lava bed stronghold, held off over 600 troops for almost four months. Modoc Vengeance is unique from all other books on the Modoc War, in that it is composed of 1873 newspaper reports - from the San Francisco Chronicle, San Francisco Call-Bulletin, New York Herald, New York Times, Yreka Journal and Yreka Union. These reports alone, without interpretive interruption, tell the story of the war. Each of the 244 pages is a day in the life of the Modoc War giving you, the reader, a "you are there" feel for what is happening between Captain Jack's Modocs and the army at the lava beds. Complementing the 244 pages of newspaper reports is an impressive, 86 page array of Modoc War photographs, sketches and maps, historic and current - arguably more than will be found in all other Modoc War books combined. Included are photographs by the famous "father of the motion picture," Eadweard Muybridge, and drawings by the equally famous British reporter/artist, William Simpson, noted for his Crimean War sketches. Modoc Vengeance also features several human interest stories, which bring a grassroots reality to the story being told by the newspaper reports - e.g. little boys across the nation playing Modoc War games and a mother journeying from Philadelphia to Tule Lake to see her dying soldier son. Modoc Vengeance is a great information source on the 1873
Book Synopsis Great Western Indian Fights by : Westerners. Potomac Corral

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1832 to 1891 the states from the Great Lakes west to Oregon and south to Mexico saw scenes of massacre, bloody rout, amabush, fire, and pillage as the great Indian tribes--Blackfoot, Cheyenne, Sioux, Arapaho, Modoc, and Apache--fought desperately to turn back the invading white men.

Among the battles included here are the Pierre's Hole fight, the battle of Bandera Pass, the battle of Pyramid Lake, the battle of Wood Lake, the Canyon de Chelly rout, the battles of Adobe Walls, the Fetterman, Hayfield, and Wagon Box fights, the fight at Beecher Island, the battle of the Washita, the battles of Massacre Canyon and Palo Duro Canyon, the battle of the Rosebud, the battle of the Little Bighorn, the Dull Knife massacre, and the final, tragic battle at Wounded Knee. "A fine guide to the conflict that transpired across the wide Missouri."--San Francisco Sunday Chronicle "An excellent account of most of the major fights between the white man and the Indian in. . .the western part of the United States."--Library Journal "Two dozen of the most celebrated and hair-raising Indian fights on record. Good, solid reading, and a whole peck of it."--New York Times Book Review
Book Synopsis River of Shadows by : Rebecca Solnit
Download or read book River of Shadows written by Rebecca Solnit and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2004-03-02 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism, The Mark Lynton History Prize, and the Sally Hacker Prize for the History of Technology “A panoramic vision of cultural change” —The New York Times Through the story of the pioneering photographer Eadweard Muybridge, the author of Orwell's Roses explores what it was about California in the late 19th-century that enabled it to become such a center of technological and cultural innovation The world as we know it today began in California in the late 1800s, and Eadweard Muybridge had a lot to do with it. This striking assertion is at the heart of Rebecca Solnit’s new book, which weaves together biography, history, and fascinating insights into art and technology to create a boldly original portrait of America on the threshold of modernity. The story of Muybridge—who in 1872 succeeded in capturing high-speed motion photographically—becomes a lens for a larger story about the acceleration and industrialization of everyday life. Solnit shows how the peculiar freedoms and opportunities of post–Civil War California led directly to the two industries—Hollywood and Silicon Valley—that have most powerfully defined contemporary society.
