Apsáalooke: Life of the Crow (eBook, ePUB)

Produktbeschreibung

The Great Plains of the eighteenth century were a savagely beautiful place. It swelled with buffalo, teemed with wolves, was prowled by grizzlies, and suffered vast extremes of inhospitable weather. The native peoples who made their home amidst these dangers nevertheless loved their land and fought viciously to protect it.

War, in all its bloody glory, dominated people's lives. If the men were not chasing buffalo they were chasing honor and revenge by taking enemy scalps. The two largest tribes, the Blackfeet and Lakota, may have dominated the entire northwest if not for a small number of valiant people who refused to retreat. These were the Crow.

Autorenporträt

The furious scratch of pen to paper. Few sounds are as pleasant to a writer's ear. The thoughts that compel this actionthose ethereal wordsever pool about the mind, whispering, nudging, sometimes even shouting. The urge to write can be restrained for a time. The obligations of life, especially, are a convenient recourse for abeyance. Yet the words keep accumulating, growing, coalescing into paragraph after paragraph of dialogue and prose, straining at the capacities of memory. Finally, they must be released. Thus pours out a deluge of consciousness. Edicts of grammar are obliterated. Penmanship cast aside as flotsam. The once white paper is now stained in scribbles of ink, scribbles that will become tragedies, comedies, badinage, poetic meanderings. New worlds explored, old worlds made new. Thoughts to ponder and thoughts to scoff. But all of it, every single character and setting and conversation is now real, embossed upon the reader's mind.

Are the resulting stories worthy of an audience? An author rarely knows. Only this is certain. The words are again gathering.
