The Journals of May Dodd

Based on an actual historical event but told through fictional diaries, this is the story of May Dodd--a remarkable woman who, in 1875, travels through the American West to marry the chief of the Cheyenne Nation.

One Thousand White Women begins with May Dodd's journey into an unknown world. Having been committed to an insane asylum by her blue-blood family for the crime of loving a man beneath her station, May finds that her only hope for freedom and redemption is to participate in a secret government program whereby women from "civilized" society become the brides of Cheyenne warriors. What follows is a series of breathtaking adventures--May's brief, passionate romance with the gallant young army captain John Bourke; her marriage to the great chief Little Wolf; and her conflict of being caught between loving two men and living two completely different lives.

"Fergus portrays the perceptions and emotions of women...with tremendous insight and sensitivity."--Booklist

"A superb tale of sorrow, suspense, exultation, and triumph." --Winston Groom, author of Forrest Gump

A New Generation of Carvers

Here is the essential addition to the collection of anyone who is interested in Kachinas, not only those found on store shelves or in museums, but also those found in Hopi homes. Johnathan Day gives the reader an in-depth look at the differences between contemporary dolls made for collectors and traditional kachinas made for ceremonial use. A rare glimpse into the lives of the carvers, this unique book explains the cultural significance of the kachina and the growing popularity of collecting traditional-style dolls. The ninety color photographs and intimate interviews with the artists will take the reader into an art form that celebrates the cultural depths of the Hopis.

Pottery is one of the most important classes of artifacts available to archaeologists and anthropologists. Every year, volumes of data are generated detailing ceramic production, distribution, and consumption. How these data can be interpreted in relation to the social and cultural framework of prehistoric societies in Mesoamerica is the subject of this book. Nine chapters written by some of the most well known and respected scholars in the field offer readers an in-depth look at key advances from the past fifteen years. These scholars examine ethnoarchaeological studies and the Preclassic/Formative, Classic, and Postclassic periods and cover geographic areas from eastern to central Mesoamerica. In a series of case studies, contributors address a range of new and developing theories and methods for inferring the technological, organizational, and social dimensions of pottery economics, and draw on a range of sociopolitical examples. Specific topics include the impacts and costs of innovations, the role of the producer in technological choices, the outcomes when errors in vessel formation are tolerated or rectified, the often undocumented multiple lives and uses of ceramic pieces, and the difficulties associated with locating and documenting ceramic production areas in tropical lowlands. A compelling collection that clearly integrates and synthesizes a wide array of data, this book is the definitive text on pottery economics in Mesoamerica and an important contribution to the fields of anthropology, archaeology, ancient history, and the economics of pre-industrial societies.

What is the greatest honor a young Wampanoag Indian boy can hope forever? To be chosen to become a pniese, a warrior counselor. That is Tapenum’s dream. But his dream is dashed when other boys are chosen and he is not.

As Tapenum goes about his day, he can’t stop thinking about his disappointment. But soon, with great determination, he makes a plan. Today he will begin training himself to become stronger. He will improve his hunting skills and run long distances every day. If he can become very strong in body and spirit, perhaps he will be chosen next year.

The third book in the trilogy, this book explores the life of a Wampanoag Indian boy in the 1620s. Photographed in full color at Hobbamock’s Homesite at Plimoth Plantation in Plymouth, Massachusetts, here is an intimate and accurate portrayal of native life at the time of colonization by the Europeans.

Chosen to become a special warrior prince in 1627, Tapenum prepares himself for the great honor by hunting, fishing, and sharing a day with friends and family, in a story that is complemented by photographs of Plymouth Plantation.

1st in series/Red Ryan 

JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. WHERE DEATH RIDES FASTER THAN THE WIND. A blazing new series takes you back to the lawless frontier where every stagecoach was a moving target. Where every passenger needed protection. And where every hired gun who rides along better be fast on the draw-or be dead on arrival . . .

RIDING SHOTGUN If anyone knows the road to purgatory, it's Red Ryan. As a stagecoach guard, he's faced holdups, ambushes, and all-out attacks from every kill-crazy outlaw, Indian, and prairie rat. But even he's a bit reluctant to take on his next job- riding shotgun with his driver Buttons Muldoon on a stage bound from Fort Concho, Texas, to Fort Bliss. Word has it, the Apaches are on the warpath. They're being led by the vicious war chief Ilesh, which means "Lord of the Earth." And this lord means business, as in slaughtering every Texan from here to El Paso. Red wants to postpone the stage. But an army major's beautiful but stubborn wife insists they leave-or she'll go it alone. So Red has no choice . . . Thus begins a nightmare journey into 400 miles of harsh, unforgiving terrain, blood-drunk killers, and one scheming devil who plans to paint the town of El Paso red-starting with Red's blood . . . Live Free. Read Hard.

No marks inside or out, no blemishes, no bent or fuzzed corners. Just a book I intended to read. I've decided that a lot of the non-fiction I read is really good stuff that is nevertheless not great for my mental health. So, my loss is your gain!
