“One of Ten Best History Books of 2021.” —Smithsonian Magazine For fans of The Boys in the Boat and The Storm on Our Shores, this impeccably researched, deeply moving, never-before-told “tale that ultimately stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit” (Garrett M. Graff, New York Times bestselling author) about a World War II incarceration camp in Wyoming and its extraordinary high school football team. In the spring of 1942, the United States government forced 120,000 Japanese Americans from their homes in California, Oregon, Washington, and Arizona and sent them to incarceration camps across the West. Nearly 14,000 of them landed on the outskirts of Cody, Wyoming, at the base of Heart Mountain. Behind barbed wire fences, they faced racism, cruelty, and frozen winters. Trying to recreate comforts from home, they established Buddhist temples and sumo wrestling pits. Kabuki performances drew hundreds of spectators—yet there was little hope. That is, until the fall of 1943, when the camp’s high school football team, the Eagles, started its first season and finished it undefeated, crushing the competition from nearby, predominantly white high schools. Amid all this excitement, American politics continued to disrupt their lives as the federal government drafted men from the camps for the front lines—including some of the Eagles. As the team’s second season kicked off, the young men faced a choice to either join the Army or resist the draft. Teammates were divided, and some were jailed for their decisions. The Eagles of Heart Mountain honors the resilience of extraordinary heroes and the power of sports in a “timely and utterly absorbing account of a country losing its moral way, and a group of its young citizens who never did” (Evan Ratliff, author of The Mastermind).

A tumultuous relationship with his father, a single friend, and no woman to give his affection already make him downtrodden, but he finds himself in more trouble after being released from prison for stabbing a man. Though his only desire is to be a cowboy, it seems like that dream will always elude him, until he decides to take matters into his own hands and head west.

Harold was about ten years of age when his father, the Rev. Mr. Excell, took the pastorate of the First Church in Rock River. Many of the people in his first congregation remarked upon "the handsome lad." The clear brown of his face, his big yellow-brown eyes, his slender hands, and the grace of his movements gave him distinction quite aside from that arising from his connection with the minister. Rev. John Excell was a personable man himself. He was tall and broad shouldered, with abundant brown hair and beard, and a winning smile. His eyes were dark and introspective, but they could glow like sunlit topaz, or grow dim with tears, as his congregation had opportunity to observe during this first sermon-but they were essentially sad eyes.

In the summer of 1942, the federal government forced 120,000 Japanese Americans from their homes and sent them to concentration camps across the West. Eleven thousand of them landed on the desolate outskirts of the Wild West town of Cody, Wyoming, at Heart Mountain Relocation Center. It would be their home for the next three years. The same racism and discrimination that led to their removal continued in camp, as armed guards and FBI spies watched their every move. In that environment, little brought joy to the imprisoned. That is, until the fall of 1943, when the Heart Mountain High School football team, the Eagles, started its first season. Despite every obstacle, the Eagles ran through the competition-who traveled to the camp from majority-white high schools across Wyoming and Montana-and finished undefeated. As the team's second and final season kicked off, the federal government began drafting boys and men from the camps for the front lines. The Eagles had to choose: join the Army or resist the draft. With the war, draft, and family obligations crashing around them, they fought to keep their perfect record and their pride. Based on archival research and interviews with players, their families, former incarcerees, and camp employees, The Eagles of Heart Mountain is a book about a football team, yes. But it's more than that: it's about a group of people wronged by their government standing up and saying "Enough." Book jacket.

Outskirts Press: An ebook takes just a moment to download. Thank You!"An Eagle Heart and Scanderbeg, General of the Eagles make great gifts" Tim Lezi. Faith is a bird that knows the dawn and sings while it is dark. Although Sevastia thinks this traditional Eastern saying describes the nightingale, it also is an apt metaphor for her, the heroine of An Eagle Heart. A young, humble Albanian woman, Sevastia is able to help save her homeland from annihilation with a last moment communication to President Woodrow Wilson.A Turkish Pasha and a Greek Orthodox priest have been in local power under the Ottoman Empire, but Sevastia and her brother Gerasim have started an Albanian school for girls despite fierce local opposition. Constantly struggling, they are only able to keep the school open because of Gerasims connections outside the country through the British Bible Society. His wide circle of contacts with American missionaries and Western European consuls stave off the local attacks on the school.When the Ottoman Empire finally begins to crumble, Albanias neighbors make plans to take over the country for themselves, but Sevastia continues to ask for support from afar from President Wilson so that the dark curtain of extinction is not pulled over her homeland forever.Because of her pleas and his own opposition to the Social Darwinism so prevalent in the European world view at that time, Albania is saved from political dismemberment.Sevastias faithful singing through that long darkness of Albanias night has ultimately allowed the country itself to know the dawn of a bright new era. Praise for An Eagle Heart: Tim Lezis debut has all the ingredients of an attractive political thriller--with assassination attempts and a last minute communiqu? to President Woodrow Wilson--woven artistically through the plot.
