They say revenge is a dish best served cold.... They better be right. Sixteen-year-old Lon Pearce is an orphan who has lost both his parents separately at the hands of the same man, local business owner Carl Teverence. Grief-stricken by their murders, he heads into town, half-cocked and ready to take his vengeance... only things don’t quite turn out the way he’d hoped. Teverence and his men see him coming a mile away. They turn the tables on him with ease, and Lon is lucky to escape with his life. Alone and hunted, Lon is forced to leave everything he knows and loves behind, even his name. Now known only as Shawnee, he journeys west across the plains on a long and lonely trail. He hasn’t forgotten the score he has to settle, but he needs to learn the skills to make it possible. He lends a hand to those he finds in need along the way—even when it forces him further outside the law. Will Shawnee find his way back home to deliver the justice he so desperately desires? Will he have learned enough to defeat Teverence and his men, or will he wind up in a shallow grave next to his parents? And even if he is successful, will he have enough integrity—enough of his soul remaining—to think of himself as a good man? An action-filled adventure of loss and revenge, Bob Giel’s Shawnee will have you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.

Always Of Home written by Edgar A. Imhoff and has been published by SIU Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1993 with Biography & Autobiography categories.
Edgar Allen Imhoff renders a series of touching, colorful vignettes about growing up in southern Illinois during the Great Depression. He writes poignantly of his family and their struggles (including his father's exhausting but successful effort at self-education) as he revisits his early childhood years in the country and his eventual move to the town of Murphysboro, where he encountered school bullies, outstanding teachers, first love, World War II, and adolescence. Imhoff contrasts these memories of his youth with events, incidents, and thoughts from his more recent past. While writing a government check with six figures to the left of the decimal, he remembers how his mother once scrounged together thirty cents so Imhoff and his brother and sister could go to the circus with their classmates. Listening to President Carter give a speech in the Rose Garden reminds him of the contrasting elocutionary style of the Reverend William Boatman, the pastor at his country church, which was built by Imhoff's great-great-grandfather and others. Through such contrasts, Imhoff not only paints a loving picture of his past, he also comments on the alienation and emptiness that mark many lives in the United States, especially those of modern nomads. Imhoff has himself become a nomad, living far from the land of his birth, enjoying a successful and rewarding career. Yet he is drawn repeatedly to his past, his family, his childhood home, and the intricate combination of events, attitudes, values, and loyalties that influenced and molded him.

One hundred members of NatChat, an electronic mail discussion group concerned with Native American issues, responded to the recent Disney release Pocahontas by calling on parents to boycott the movie, citing its historical inaccuracies and saying that "Disney has let us down in a cruel, irresponsible manner." Their anger was rooted in the fact that, although Disney had claimed that the film's portrayal of American Indians would be "authentic," the Pocahontas story the movie told was really white cultural myth. The actual histories of the characters were replaced by mythic narratives depicting the crucial moments when aid was given to the white settlers. As reconstructed, the story serves to reassert for whites their right to be here, easing any lingering guilt about the displacement of the native inhabitants. To understand current imagery, it is essential to understand the history of its making, and these essays mesh to create a powerful, interconnected account of image creation over the past 150 years. The contributors, who represent a range of disciplines and specialties, reveal the distortions and fabrications white culture has imposed on significant historical and current events, as represented by treasured artifacts such as photographic images taken of Sitting Bull following his surrender, the national monument at the battlefield of Little Bighorn, nineteenth-century advertising, the television phenomenon Northern Exposure, and the film Dances with Wolves. Well illustrated, this volume demonstrates the complacency of white culture in its representation of its troubled relationship with American Indians.
