Claimed by both Virginia and Pennsylvania for years, Western Pennsylvania was the stage for one of the most hostile land battles in early American history. Characters from Hossler's previous book, The Summer of 1763, return in this story to fight for their families and the preservation of their way of life. The native Indians of the territory struggle to maintain the property rights given to them by the English crown in 1763. And wealthy political figures orchestrate a plan to confiscate both the settlers and Indians of their land. All parties converge upon the prize that is now Western Pennsylvania. Rife with bribery, deception, stealing, political intrigue, battle, and pioneer spirit, The Great Land Grab brings this territorial struggle to life.

On May 12, 2008, a Magnitude 8 earthquake struck China’s Sichuan Province, the deadliest tremor to hit China since 1976. Felt as far away 288 as Beijing and Shanghai, the earthquake took nearly 70,000 lives and made an estimated 5 million people homeless. Drawing concern and aid from all across China and throughout the world, the earthquake summoned an unprecedented spirit of cooperation as people swarmed to the affected areas to assist in relief efforts. At the same time, the disaster laid bare weaknesses in the system, as well as conflicts and resentments that had long been festering beneath the surface of rural society. Carrying out research on rural governance in one of the affected counties at the time, the writer Yefu stayed behind to observe how local officials dealt with the aftermath of the disaster. Through a combination of sociological observation, historical anecdotes and stirring narrative, Yefu describes efforts to rebuild not only the physical structures of the disaster zone, but also the spirit of its inhabitants.

He also underscores the tragic history of the indigenous peoples of these regions and shoes how they came to lose "possession" of their land to newly formed governments made up of Europeans with European interests at heart. Weaver shows that the enormous efforts involved in defining and registering large numbers of newly carved-out parcels of property for reallocation during the Great Land Rush were instrumental in the emergence of much stronger concepts of property rights and argues that this period was marked by a complete disregard for previous notions of restraint on dreams of unlimited material possibility. Today, while the traditional forms of colonization that marked the Great Land Rush are no longer practiced by the European powers and their progeny in the new world, the legacy of this period can be seen in the western powers' insatiable thirst for economic growth, including newer forms of economic colonization of underdeveloped countries, and a continuing evolution of the concepts of property rights, including the development and increasing growth in importance of intellectual property rights.

In 1971, Kat Mission, recently divorced, headstrong and independent, packs her belongings, her geology degree, and her five-month-old daughter in her old pickup and drives to Alaska seeking adventure and a better life. She hears of a hardscrabble mining camp deep in the Isabel Pass that needs a cook. Awed by her surroundings, Kat has found a home. After tragedy and betrayal, the small company faces collapse. Kat offers a solution, and moves into an arena dominated by men. Then Kat meets a man whose love and patience is challenged by her stubborn determination and misplaced loyalties. By 1975, the Alaska oil pipeline changes everything, and tens of thousands of people flood the state for high-paying jobs. During the boom, lawlessness and greed create excitement and danger. Survival is key: surviving her own hardheadedness, the wilderness, injury, a bear attack, cabin fever, two shootings, and a raging blizzard that traps her in the middle of a frozen river in the Isabel Pass.

CLICK HERE to download a free sample from Swallowed by the Great Land “Seth Kantner illuminates an Alaska most of us will never know.” –Andrea Barrett, author of Ship Fever and The Voyage of the Narwhal • Nonfiction short stories that pull you into the lives of those living in an otherworldly place • Seth Kantner received a Whiting Award naming him one of the nation's top-ten emerging writers • Publisher’s Weekly called the author’s 2004 debut novel, Ordinary Wolves, "a tour de force" When Seth Kantner’s novel, Ordinary Wolves, was published 10 years ago, it was a literary revelation of sorts. In a raw, stylized voice it told the story of a white boy growing up with homesteading parents in Arctic Alaska and trying to reconcile his largely subsistence and Native-style upbringing with the expectations and realities tied to his race. It hit numerous bestseller lists, was critically acclaimed, and won a number of awards. Seth’s nonfiction second book, the memoir Shopping for Porcupine, was even more compelling for many readers—the same raw details of a homesteading upbringing, but intensely personal. Now, in Swallowed by the Great Land, he once again brings us into his lyrical wilderness existence. Swallowed by the Great Land features slice-of-life essays that further reveal the duality in the author’s own life today, and also in the village and community that he inhabits—a mosaic of all life on the tundra. Unique characters, village life, wilderness and the larger landscape, a warming Arctic, and hunting and other aspects of subsistence living are all explored in varied yet intimate stories.
