In Modoc: The Tribe That Wouldn't Die, Cheewa James, a direct descendent Modoc War hero Shkeitko, aka "Shacknasty Jim", recounts the explosive and personal story of her ancestors in a richly documented, non-fiction narrative that occasionally incorporates fictionalized inserts to help bring the story to life-an asset for school and family reading. Covering Modoc history from ancestral times to the present, this unique book includes over 100 rare black and white photographs of the Modoc War, historic Modoc men, women and children--many handed down through Cheewa's family--and life from times past. There are 40 color photographs of Modocs and their activities in current times. The book contains accounts from the letters of soldiers and eye-witnesses never before published. The six-month long Modoc War, fought in 1872-73, pitted some fifty-five Modoc warriors against 1,000 U.S. soldiers in the jagged, hostile terrain of today's Lava Beds National Monument, where both warriors and families held out in Captain Jack's Stronghold, a massive lava-cave maze named after the Modoc leader. The surviving Modocs were exiled to Oklahoma Indian Territory, where they faced the added trauma of ...

Dusklands Dusklands

Editura: PENGUIN GROUP

Anul aparitiei: 1985

"J.M. Coetzee's vision goes to the nerve center of being."--Nadine Gordimer The revolutionary first fiction by Nobel Prize Winner, J.M. Coetzee A shattering pair of novellas in the tradition of Conrad's Heart of Darkness , Dusklands probes the links between the powerful and the powerless. "Vietnam Project" is narrated by a researcher investigating the effectiveness of United States propaganda and psychological warfare in Vietnam. The question of power is also explored in "The Narrative of Jacobus Coetzee," the story of an eighteenth-century Boer frontiersman who vows revenge on the Hottentot natives because they have failed to treat him with the respect that he thinks a white man deserves. With striking intensity, J. M. Coetzee penetrates the twilight land of obsession, charting the nature on colonization as it seeks, in 1970 as in 1760, to absorb the wilds into the Western dusklands. 2024 is the 50th Anniversary of the publication of Dusklands
