Book Synopsis In a Barren Land by : Paula M. Marks
Download or read book In a Barren Land written by Paula M. Marks and published by William Morrow Paperbacks. This book was released on 1999-03-17 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award-winning historian Paula Mitchell Marks reconfirms her status as one of the foremost contemporary chroniclers of the American West with this often appalling, yet always engrossing, account of American Indian cultures under siege from 1607 to the present. In a dazzling synthesis of the latest research with masterful storytelling, Marks portrays the systematic dispossession of America's original inhabitants over centuries of broken promises and bloody persecutions. Well-known events and personalities -- the Battle of Little Big Horn, the Trail of Tears, Geronimo, to name a few -- are juxtaposed with lesser-known but equally pivotal episodes such as the Navajos' Long Walk, the Snake Indian resistance, and more.

The only hunter supporting his starving community, Misewa, Ochek welcomes the human children, teaching them traditional ways to survive.

Book Synopsis Barren, Wild, and Worthless by : Susan J. Tweit
Download or read book Barren, Wild, and Worthless written by Susan J. Tweit and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2003-02-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Appearing barren and most definitely wild, the Chihuahuan Desert of northern Mexico and the southwestern United States may look worthless to some, but for Susan Tweit it is an inspiration. In this collection of seven elegant personal essays, she explores undiscovered facets of this seemingly hostile environment. With eloquence, passion, and insight, she describes and reflects on the relationship between the land, history, and people and makes this underappreciated region less barren for those who would share her journeys. "There's often little to this terrain, but to the author it's a beautiful landscape bursting with stories and wildlife, with big cities and small chunks of quietness found in few other places on earth. Tweit's essays have a pleasant style that combines history with personal discovery." —Book Talk "Sense of place is measured by one's awareness of the landscape and the extent to which it dictates thought and behavior. Barren, Wild, and Worthless dramatizes the aspirations, needs, and functional rhythms of life that are revealed and defined by this seventh sense." —Southwestern American Literature

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jeremy Gavron's new novel invites you on a remarkable walking tour - a tour during which the ghosts of London's Brick Lane open up their front doors." "Each house has a story to tell. At number 30, in the autumn of 1888, a man is arrested with a packet of entrails in his pocket and Inspector Abberline wonders if he has caught the Whitechapel murderer. Where number 111 now stands a medieval apprentice and a young nun are caught meeting at a spring. At 98, in 1904, the People's Revolution gets underway." "As we journey down the street, these lives begin to echo each other across time. At number 41 a man tries to hide his family in the shadows of a ruined London; 1500 years later, a gangster's sister lives with the consequences of having been found. At 246 a mammoth dies, and long afterwards, a giant's thighbone is discovered. Beneath it all, a young woman trawls through the sewers, finding the things the rest of us have lost or forgotten. From within these individual stories, we hear the echoes of history." "In a blend of fiction, history and archaeology, Jeremy Gavron uncovers the story of one street - the story of Brick Lane, the story of London, and the story of Britain."--BOOK JACKET.

In 2015 the archivist of Sherborne School (Dorset) disclosed the possession of Bullock's diary from his journey with John Hornby. An authentic and often very personal account, based on letters to a dear friend in England. A narrative about a winter spent in a self-dug cave on the edge of the Canadian Barren Lands, with intimate insights of hope and despair. About their ensuing journey on foot overland and by canoe down the Hanbury and Thelon Rivers, via Baker Lake and Chesterfield Inlet to Hudson Bay. Compiled from letters archived in the USA, Canada and England. Supplemented with content from Bullock's son's personal archive. Featuring unpublished photos, new insights into their journey and previously unknown details about John Hornby. Completed with Guy Houghton Blanchet's narration of a particular incident, never before published in full. “I can’t get over regretting that you did not yourself take the place of Waldron in writing the story of the Hornby-Bullock adventure.” Vilhjalmur Stefansson (May 1931) “Why did not you write up your trip with Hornby yourself? And I might ask further – Why, since you have such a gift of fluent writing you don’t do something in that line?” Guy Houghton Blanchet (August 1950)
