Sinossi

The Mythic Life of Crazy Horse: Warrior, Hero, and Martyr in Three Biographical Visions offers a profound and multifaceted exploration of one of the most iconic figures in Native American history. Through the lens of three distinct biographical perspectives, this compelling narrative paints a rich portrait of Crazy Horse, the legendary Lakota warrior who resisted U.S. expansion with unmatched bravery and an unwavering commitment to his people.In this captivating work, the author delves into Crazy Horse's life as both a historical figure and a mythic hero, drawing on historical accounts, oral traditions, and spiritual interpretations to create a nuanced understanding of his significance. Each of the three visions — rooted in war, protection, and sacrifice — reveals new layers of his character, offering a deeper appreciation of his role in the battle for Native American sovereignty.From his legendary leadership at the Battle of the Little Bighorn to his enduring legacy as a symbol of resistance, The Mythic Life of Crazy Horse intertwines biography with myth and historical fact with spiritual truth. This book is essential for anyone interested in the complexities of Native American history, the lasting impact of Crazy Horse's legacy, and the intersection of history and legend in shaping cultural identities.

    She details how she navigated her way from deep sorrow and shock, to once again beginning to live life with joy and celebration. 
    She remembers all of the small acts of kindness shown to her along the way; and how they lifted her up and inspired her to keep going, and to try to find a new way of living for herself and for her children. She discovers just how much determination she has within to survive her tragedy, and to find a way to move forward in the way her husband would have wanted.

    The true crime story of the kidnapping, rape, and murder of a Missouri teen and her family’s journey to justice. In the early hours of March 22, 1989, two friends—career criminals with violent felony convictions—drove around the eastern Kansas City area in a stolen car committing a series of crimes. The weather was mild for late March in Kansas City; the sky was clear, and there was the pale remnant of a Full Moon that bore the dubious name of Death Moon, the last full moon of winter. A little before 7 a.m., fifteen-year-old Ann Harrison walked to the end of her driveway on Kansas City’s east side to wait for the bus to take her to Raytown South High School. Ten minutes later, she disappeared but no one saw what happened. As if waiting for her return, her belongings were still stacked carefully by the side of the road.By the Side of the Road is the true crime story of the kidnapping, rape, and murder of Ann Harrison and the long journey forced upon her family who had to wait nearly three decades to see her killers brought to final justice.
