Book Synopsis Sacajawea's People by : John W. W. Mann
Download or read book Sacajawea's People written by John W. W. Mann and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2004-12-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 20, 2001, a crowd gathered just east of Salmon, Idaho, to dedicate the site of the Sacajawea Interpretive, Cultural, and Education Center, in preparation for the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial. In a bitter instance of irony, the American Indian peoples conducting the ceremony dedicating the land to the tribe, the city of Salmon, and the nation?the Lemhi Shoshones, Sacajawea?s own people?had been removed from their homeland nearly a hundred years earlier and had yet to regain official federal recognition as a tribe. John W. W. Mann?s book at long last tells the remarkable and inspiring story of the Lemhi Shoshones, from their distant beginning to their present struggles. Mann offers an absorbing and richly detailed look at the life of Sacajawea?s people before their first contact with non-Natives, their encounter with the Lewis and Clark Expedition in the early nineteenth century, and their subsequent confinement to a reservation in northern Idaho near the town of Salmon. He follows the Lemhis from the liquidation of their reservation in 1907 to their forced union with the Shoshone-Bannock tribes of the Fort Hall Reservation to the south. He describes how for the past century, surrounded by more populous and powerful Native tribes, the Lemhis have fought to preserve their political, economic, and cultural integrity. His compelling and informative account should help to bring Sacajawea?s people out of the long shadow of history and restore them to their rightful place in the American story.

While awaiting spring to cross the snowfields into Warrens camp and return to their gold strike, Samuel ranches at Slate Creek and falls in love. There is one problem: Samuel cannot marry unless he and his father return to Warrens and prove up their claim. When father and son finally reach Warrens, they discover their claim has been jumped. With all hopes of earning a fortune seemingly dashed, Samuel wrestles with his desire for revenge and his drive to find gold. He reunites with his Chinese friend, Chen, and peddles merchandise in order to survive. He is also conflicted by a dancehall ladys renewed interest and his love for the ranch-hand girl. With their last hope, father and son turn to hardrock mining to get the gold they need. But it is when Samuel attempts to pack gold out of the camp under the watchful eyes of road agents that Samuel unwittingly puts everyones lives in jeopardy. Now only time will tell if everything is lost. In this continuing saga based on the history of an Idaho gold camp, a young man embarks on a dangerous coming-of-age journey that reveals an unforgettable glimpse into life in 1870s Salmon River country.

Download or read book Upstream written by Langdon Cook and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the Washington State Book Award • From the award-winning author of The Mushroom Hunters comes the story of an iconic fish, perhaps the last great wild food: salmon. For some, a salmon evokes the distant wild, thrashing in the jaws of a hungry grizzly bear on TV. For others, it’s the catch of the day on a restaurant menu, or a deep red fillet at the market. For others still, it’s the jolt of adrenaline on a successful fishing trip. Our fascination with these superlative fish is as old as humanity itself. Long a source of sustenance among native peoples, salmon is now more popular than ever. Fish hatcheries and farms serve modern appetites with a domesticated “product”—while wild runs of salmon dwindle across the globe. How has this once-abundant resource reached this point, and what can we do to safeguard wild populations for future generations? Langdon Cook goes in search of the salmon in Upstream, his timely and in-depth look at how these beloved fish have nourished humankind through the ages and why their destiny is so closely tied to our own. Cook journeys up and down salmon country, from the glacial rivers of Alaska to the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest to California’s drought-stricken Central Valley and a wealth of places in between. Reporting from remote coastlines and busy city streets, he follows today’s commercial pipeline from fisherman’s net to corporate seafood vendor to boutique marketplace. At stake is nothing less than an ancient livelihood. But salmon are more than food. They are game fish, wildlife spectacle, sacred totem, and inspiration—and their fate is largely in our hands. Cook introduces us to tribal fishermen handing down an age-old tradition, sport anglers seeking adventure and a renewed connection to the wild, and scientists and activists working tirelessly to restore salmon runs. In sharing their stories, Cook covers all sides of the debate: the legacy of overfishing and industrial development; the conflicts between fishermen, environmentalists, and Native Americans; the modern proliferation of fish hatcheries and farms; and the longstanding battle lines of science versus politics, wilderness versus civilization. This firsthand account—reminiscent of the work of John McPhee and Mark Kurlansky—is filled with the keen insights and observations of the best narrative writing. Cook offers an absorbing portrait of a remarkable fish and the many obstacles it faces, while taking readers on a fast-paced fishing trip through salmon country. Upstream is an essential look at the intersection of man, food, and nature. Praise for Upstream “Invigorating . . . Mr. Cook is a congenial and intrepid companion, happily hiking into hinterlands and snorkeling in headwaters. Along the way we learn about filleting techniques, native cooking methods and self-pollinating almond trees, and his continual curiosity ensures that the narrative unfurls gradually, like a long spey cast. . . . With a pedigree that includes Mark Kurlansky, John McPhee and Roderick Haig-Brown, Mr. Cook’s style is suitably fluent, an occasional phrase flashing like a flank in the current. . . . For all its rehearsal of the perils and vicissitudes facing Pacific salmon, Upstream remains a celebration.”—The Wall Street Journal
Book Synopsis Windy Stories by : Marjorie H. Bennett

Book excerpt: This collection of homegrown stories, transcribed in poetic format, reflects life along the Salmon River Valley, Idaho at the turn of the century. Delightful and timeless, Windy Stories tells the tales through the storytellers' eyes. This combination of stories and photos conveys a sense of these pioneers and their beloved place. "An impressive publication, long in preparation, deep in its analysis of the relationship of the story-tellers to their setting, its history, to each other. History buff will see unusual slants on historic events in the unadorned narration of children of homesteaders of Idaho. This book has a place in every public library." -Kenneth Clark PhD, University of Indiana "A significant contribution to research into the processes and productions of oral narration. Folklorist Bennett is well equipped to classify and analyze both text and contexts of tales. The materials appear well-organized, well-written and ample illustrated. The beliefs expressed are pleasurable insights into the traditions of informants. Anyone who has floated on or backpacked into the Salmon River ought to like the humor. Parts of the book are really funny." -Dr. Louie Attebury, University of Idaho "Driving thru spots like the Salmon River Valley one wonders about the folks who live in those barren hills. Marjorie Bennett stopped and asked "any good storytellers around here." She turned up 6 women and 4 men willing to share a core of community tales about their barren but beloved territory. Here are the tales in their words, wrapped in her gentle chat with brief analysis of their telling styles. Windy Stories is as engaging as a novel. Storytellers, folklorists, and anyone looking for a good read will enjoy it." -Dr. Margaret Read MacDonald, author of Scipio Storytelling: Talk in a Southern Indiana Community.
