Book Synopsis Minik: The New York Eskimo by : Kenn Harper
Download or read book Minik: The New York Eskimo written by Kenn Harper and published by Steerforth. This book was released on 2017-09-26 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A true story from the great age of Arctic exploration of an Inuit boy's struggle for dignity against Robert Peary and the American Museum of Natural History in turn-of-the-century New York City. Sailing aboard a ship called Hope in 1897, celebrated Arctic explorer Robert Peary entered New York Harbor with peculiar "cargo": Six Polar Inuit intended to serve as live "specimens" at the American Museum of Natural History. Four died within a year. One managed to gain passage back to Greenland. Only the sixth, a boy of six or seven with a precociously solemn smile, remained. His name was Minik. Although Harper's unflinching narrative provides a much needed corrective to history's understanding of Peary, who was known among the Polar Inuit as "the great tormenter", it is primarily a story about a boy, Minik Wallace, known to the American public as "The New York Eskimo." Orphaned when his father died of pneumonia, Minik never surrendered the hope of going "home," never stopped fighting for the dignity of his father's memory, and never gave up his belief that people would come to his aid if only he could get them to understand.

Book excerpt: In the old days there were songs... Something is bothering Russel Susskit. He hates waking up to the sound of his father's coughing, the smell of diesel oil, the noise of snow machines starting up. Only Oogruk, the shaman who owns the last team of dogs in the village, understands Russel's longing for the old ways and the songs that celebrated them. But Oogruk cannot give Russel the answers he seeks; the old man can only prepare him for what he must do alone. Driven by a strange, powerful dream of a long-ago self and by a burning desire to find his own song, Russel takes Oogruk's dogs on an epic journey of self-discovery that will change his life forever.

Download or read book Smiler's Bones written by Peter Lerangis and published by Scholastic Inc.. This book was released on 2007 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A "hugely fascinating" (Kirkus), "wonderful" (VOYA) historical novel based on the harrowing true story of Minik, an Eskimo boy seized in the name of exploration and brought to New York in the 1900s. In 1897, famed explorer Robert Peary took six Eskimos from their homes in Greenland to be "presented" to the American Museum of Natural History. Among the six were a father and a son. Soon, four were dead, including the father (whose bones, unbeknownst to the son, were put on display). One returned to Greenland. And the other -- the young boy -- remained, the only Eskimo in New York for twelve years. His name was Minik. This is his story. A story of lies and deceptions. A story about the price of exploration. A story about discovering the truth of a culture.
Download or read book Dragon Boy written by Al Rowe and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-11-03 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea for the book has been taken from true events during the fantastic life of the author. Some of the characters are real and have played a solid role of shaping the author into the man he is today.The author met God when he was seven years old. The angel Tonghunkas Tan Bonus is real; the mother of Jesus Christ is real--the author visited with them three to four hours. This great event is absolutely true. The author's polygraph test will be released in his next book, For Whom the Bullets Kill. He will also tell readers where heaven truly is, what it looks like, and much more. The events with the dignitaries were real but have been embellished for the excitement and entertainment of the reader. Again, this book was written to captivate the reader's attention but, most importantly, covers true events that will enlighten the religious beliefs we Americans are blessed to have freedom to worship every day.If my book offends anyone, I offer the humblest apologies; if my book entertains anyone, then all my labors will have been worthwhile. I thank God that I am an American and have the right to write what I please. I also feel I have earned that right by having fought wars for my country and also for the people while serving as a police officer.

Book Synopsis The Firecracker Boys by : Dan O'Neill
Download or read book The Firecracker Boys written by Dan O'Neill and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2015-06-23 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1958, Edward Teller, father of the H-bomb, unveiled his plan to detonate six nuclear bombs off the Alaskan coast to create a new harbor. However, the plan was blocked by a handful of Eskimos and biologists who succeeded in preventing massive nuclear devastation potentially far greater than that of the Chernobyl blast. The Firecracker Boys is a story of the U.S. government's arrogance and deception, and the brave people who fought against it-launching America's environmental movement. As one of Alaska's most prominent authors, Dan O'Neill brings to these pages his love of Alaska's landscape, his skill as a nature and science writer, and his determination to expose one of the most shocking chapters of the Nuclear Age.
