Produktbeschreibung
The history of the American West includes a sorry story of abuse and domination of Native Americans by the United States government and its enforcement arm, the U.S. Army. The destruction of the life style and autonomy of indigenous people has resulted in denying to Native Americans "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" even today. This book has a heroic White genius of 7 y/o who, over 20 years, teaches the tribe the English language and modern military technique enough to stand up to the U.S. Army. Eventually, they must flee to Canada where their modern skills enable them to be accepted as Canadian citizens. The book is extensively and accurately researched and reflects a non-fictional foundation to the imaginative ending.
Autorenporträt
He was born in Los Angeles of Jewish parents, growing up with a love of the outdoors--swimming in the Pacific Ocean, hopping a freight train that followed the Colorado River from its headwaters and climbing Wyoming's Grand Tetons. He was encouraged to enter medical school, practicing emergency medicine until a serious illness caused him to return to writing historical novels of America's West. A Native woman of Wailaki and Yuki heritage revealed to the author the suppressed history of this massive rubout of Northern California's indigenous people during the time period, 1849-1870. RR
