Summary

Fanny Kelly's 'The Narrative of My Captivity Among the Sioux Indians' is a compelling and harrowing account of her experiences as a captive of the Sioux tribe in the mid-19th century. Written in a straightforward and descriptive style, the book provides vivid details of the hardships and dangers faced by Kelly during her captivity. The narrative offers readers a glimpse into the cultural and social dynamics of the Sioux people, as well as the challenges of survival in the harsh wilderness. Kelly's captivating storytelling and engaging prose keep readers on the edge of their seats, making this book a valuable addition to the genre of captivity narratives. Fanny Kelly, a white woman who was captured by the Sioux during the Dakota War of 1862, drew on her personal experiences to write this powerful narrative. Her firsthand account sheds light on the complexities of intercultural encounters and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Kelly's courage and determination to survive against all odds make her a remarkable figure in American frontier history. I highly recommend 'The Narrative of My Captivity Among the Sioux Indians' to readers interested in history, Native American studies, and captivity narratives. This book offers a unique perspective on the experiences of a female captive among the Sioux tribe, and sheds light on the challenges of survival and adaptation in a cross-cultural context.

    The little-known history of how enslaved African Americans contributed to the building of the White House and other landmarks—includes illustrations.   In 1791, President George Washington appointed a commission to build the future capital of the nation. Workers flocked to the city—but the commission found that paying masters of faraway Maryland plantations sixty dollars a year for their slaves made it easier to keep their payroll low.   In 1798, half of the two hundred workers building the two most iconic Washington landmarks, the Capitol and the White House, were slaves. They moved stones for Scottish masons and sawed lumber for Irish carpenters. They cut trees and baked bricks. These unschooled young black men left no memoirs. Based on his research in the commissioners’ records, author Bob Arnebeck describes their world of dawn-to-dusk work, salt pork and corn bread, white scorn and a kind nurse, and the moments when everything depended on their skills.

As the value of information increases by the second and new methods of communication alter societies, the process of securing messages and data, which is called encryption, will be playing an increasingly significant part in our daily life. 
In The Code Book (1999), Simon Singh traces the history of secret codes and their crucial role in deciding the outcomes of wars and dynasties. He explores the evolution of encryption from simple substitution of letters to a complex cipher system, and shows how the subject of coding is more relevant in the Digital Age than ever before.

    An “excellent” collection of case studies and stories from the forensic anthropologist who founded Tennessee’s “Body Farm” (Charleston Post & Courier). 
 
A pioneer in forensic anthropology, Bill Bass created the world’s first laboratory dedicated to the study of human decomposition—three acres on a Tennessee hillside where human bodies are left to the elements. His research at the Body Farm has revolutionized the field, helping crack cold cases and pinpoint time of death. But during a forensics career that spans half a century, Bass’s work has ranged far beyond the gates of the Body Farm. In this riveting book, the bone sleuth explores the rise of modern forensic science, using fascinating cases he’s worked on to take readers into the real world of C.S.I. 
 
Some cases rely on the simplest of tools and techniques, such as reassembling—from battered torsos and a stack of severed limbs—eleven people hurled skyward by an explosion at an illegal fireworks factory. Other cases hinge on sophisticated techniques Bass couldn’t have imagined when he began his career: harnessing scanning electron microscopy to detect trace elements in knife wounds, or extracting DNA from a long-buried corpse, only to find that the murder victim may have been mistakenly identified a quarter-century before. 
 
Beyond the Body Farm follows Bass as he explores the depths of a lake with a twenty-first-century sonar system in search of an airplane that vanished thirty-five years ago; exhumes a fifties pop star to determine what injuries he suffered in the plane crash that killed three rock and roll legends; and works to decipher an ancient Persian death scene. Witty and engaging, Bass dissects the methods used by homicide investigators every day on an extraordinary journey into the high-tech science that it takes to crack a case. 
 
“Case studies and anecdotes from the field of corpse identification [with] careful attention to detail and the occasional darkly humorous aside.” —Publishers Weekly 
 
“The real crimes and mysteries here are just as or more intriguing than any fictional crime drama . . . offers a real-life understanding of forensic anthropology and the science behind it.” —Knoxville News-Sentinel
