Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Bent, the son of William Bent, one of the founders of Bent's Fort on the Arkansas near present La Junta, Colorado, and Owl Woman, a Cheyenne, began exchanging letters in 1905 with George E. Hyde of Omaha concerning life at the fort, his experiences with his Cheyenne kinsmen, and the events which finally led to the military suppression of the Indians on the southern Great Plains. This correspondence, which continued to the eve of Bent's death in 1918, is the source of the narrative here published, the narrator being Bent himself. Almost ninety years have elapsed since the day in 1930 when Mr. Hyde found it impossible to market the finished manuscript of the Bent life down to 1866. (The Depression had set in some months before.) He accordingly sold that portion of the manuscript to the Denver Public Library, retaining his working copy, which carries down to 1875. The account therefore embraces the most stirring period, not only of Bent's own life, but of life on the Plains and into the Rockies. It has never before been published. It is not often that an eyewitness of great events in the West tells his own story. But Bent's narrative, aside from the extent of its chronology (1826 to 1875), has very special significance as an inside view of Cheyenne life and action after the Sand Creek Massacre of 1864, which cost so many of the lives of Bent's friends and relatives. It is hardly probable that we shall achieve a more authentic view of what happened, as the Cheyennes, Arapahos, and Sioux saw it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When faced with injustice, he stood against it, fought for justice, and stood for the truth even when he had to stand alone. He spoke out against injustice, despite the serious personal price he had to pay. And pay he did. He did not take a stand just because the individuals were Black, he took that stand because it was the right thing to do. If he did not stand for what was right, who would have? They tried to keep his mouth shut as the injustices occurred, but he did not fear the consequences of speaking out, or what others will think. If these individual airmen were White, he would have done the same, because he believes that standing up for what is right, does not have a color. He stood for truth and justice, no matter who told it, or who received it. What happened to him forever changed his life, yet, and when asked if he would do it again, he quickly replied: "yes, absolutely," and stated: Sometimes you don't know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wild characters, diverse cultures, spooky myths and slippery sales schemes color Colorado's past. In a place where shameless showdowns and dusty shootouts over money, drink and women were once standard procedure, storytelling around campfires became an integral part of a rich heritage. From the jackalope and vampires to Indian curses and snake oil salesmen, the Centennial State has it all. Weirder still are the strange but true stories like that of the first body buried in La Junta's Fairview Cemetery, a man who landed there for refusing alcohol to a kid, and that of the hotel in Telluride that once offered a promotion that included funeral costs with your stay. While history may have neglected these silly, seedy and salacious stories, author Stephanie Waters has rediscovered Colorado's best forgotten tales.

Book excerpt: In times of great change and chaos, we flail against the suffering and difficulties in our lives. In This Divine Classroom: Earth School and the Psychology of the Soul, psychotherapist, Marcia Beachy, develops the broader view that planet Earth is a classroom for human evolution. Through past life regression (PLR) research with her clients, Marcia postulates that this outpost on the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy is providing unprecedented soul maturation opportunities as momentous choices are being made. Incorporating in-depth PLR work and material from the interlife (afterlife) perspective, Marcia skillfully unravels some of the mysteries of the souls choices and what it hopes to learn from the challenges and joys of life. Fascinating stories unfold over eons of time depicting the souls long journey of evolution. The reader begins to gather a sense of the souls psychology, often shockingly different than that of our personality self. In addition, Marcia gently challenges us to a reinterpretation of our reality and to courageously see the new Earth School curriculum before us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the conceptions of justice from Zarathustra to Islam. The text explores the conceptions of justice by Zarathustra, Ancient Egypt, India, Mesopotamia, Noah, Abraham, and Moses. During the Axial Age (800-200BCE), the focus of justice is in India, China, and Greece. In the post-Axial age, the focus is on Christianity. The authors then turn to Islam, where justice is conceived as a system, which emerges if the Quranic rules are followed. This work concludes with the views of early Muslim thinkers and on how these societies deteriorated after the death of the Prophet. The monograph is ideal for those interested in the conception of justice through the ages, Islamic studies, political Islam, and issues of peace and justice. Abbas Mirakhor is former Executive Director and Dean of the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund. Previously, he taught at universities in Iran and in the US and was the First Holder of the INCEIF Chair in Islamic Finance at INCEIF in Malaysia. Hossein Askari is former Assistant Professor at Tufts University, Professor of Business and Middle East Studies at the University of Texas at Austin, and was the Iran Professor of Business and International Affairs at The George Washington University, becoming Emeritus in 2019.

But relatively little has been published about what happened after the nightmare ended. In fact, there's a positive story to be told--in the context of that regrettable period in American history--and Beyond the Camps captures it through interviews with former internees and their children."--dust jacket.

Book excerpt: True crime from the roaring 20s based on the murder of four men involved in a brazen daylight bank robbery in Colorado. The case hinges on a single fingerprint found on a murdered doctor's car, and the fledgling Federal Bureau of Identification and the new boss J. Edgar Hoover play a crucial role in turning the fingerprint into solid evidence used to find, arrest and convict members of the Fleagle Gang. The Fleagle Gang robbed banks and trains in Kansas, Colorado, Oregon and California of over $1 million in the 10 years they operated. Three gang members were hung at the Colorado Penitentiary a little over two years after committing the Colorado bank robbery. The fourth was trapped and shot on a train in Branson, Mo. by postal inspectors and detectives from several states. Cartoonist Al Capp used one of the gang to create his character Evil Eye Fleagle in the Lil Abner cartoon strip and Broadway show. Cartoonist Carl Barks used the Fleagle Gang as the inspiration for The Beagle Boys who have tormented Donald Duck since 1951.

Martinez Sr.’s book, The Prairie Monster, two children are playing, just like they do every day. But this time, they discover tracks that resemble the lizard creatures they play with. In their imaginations, they make connections, visualizing a creature stranger than reality. But with the help of a priest, who shares their enthusiasm, they learn the prairie monster actually existed! When their discovery of dinosaur tracks is made in the riverbeds of the dry prairies south of what is now La Junta, Colorado, the children and priest go on a wild expedition to expose the existence of the prairie monster to an unknowing world. The Prairie Monster is an entertaining story with historical references. As the children and the priest undertake this journey of discovery, they also witness—and contribute to—Colorado history in the making.
