Synopsis

In "Life Among the Indians," George Catlin presents an evocative and meticulous account of his experiences with Native American tribes during the 1830s. His narrative, rich in descriptive imagery and observational detail, blends travelogue and anthropological study, reflecting a Romantic era's fascination with the 'noble savage.' Catlin's prose is complemented by his stunning illustrations, which provide a visual documentation of indigenous cultures, rituals, and landscapes, offering readers a captivating glimpse into a world on the brink of transformation due to westward expansion and encroaching civilization. George Catlin was not only an artist but also an early ethnographer who felt a profound sense of responsibility to document the lives and customs of Native Americans as he perceived them. His travels across the American frontier and interactions with various tribes fueled his desire to preserve their culture in the face of inevitable change. This passion led him to advocate for the establishment of a national Indian museum, highlighting his commitment to preserving the legacy of Native American tribes through both art and writing. Catlin's "Life Among the Indians" is essential reading for those interested in American history, indigenous cultures, or the evolving narrative of the American frontier. Its vivid illustrations and heartfelt prose invite readers to engage with the complexity of Native American life while reflecting on the impact of colonization, making it a significant contribution to both literary and historical discourse.

    Before Trump even ran for President, his disdain for the rules, procedures, and norms of American democracy and the US Constitution was well-known and led prominent Republicans to repudiate him as "unfit" for the GOP nomination. Given the clear-eyed assessment of candidate Trump, why did the Republican Party nominate him as its presidential candidate in 2016 and then stand by him during the next four years? 
     
     
     
    Much of the attention paid to Trump's rise to power has focused on his corrosive personality and divisive style of governing. But he alone is not the problem. The vulnerability is much broader and deeper. The ascendance of Trump is the culmination of nearly 250 years of political reforms that gradually ceded party nominations to small cliques of ideologically-motivated party activists, interest groups, and donors. 
     
     
     
    In Democracy under Fire, Lawrence Jacobs provides a highly engaging history of political reforms since the late-eighteenth century that over time dangerously weakened democracy, widened political inequality as well as racial disparities, and rewarded toxic political polarization. Jacobs's searing indictment of political reformers concludes with recommendations to restrain the unbridled ambition of politicians who thrive on division and instead generate broad citizen engagement with tangible policy making.

    The only state born as a result of the Civil War, West Virginia was the most divided state in the nation. About forty thousand of its residents served in the combatant forces about twenty thousand on each side. 
     
     
     
    The Mountain State also saw its fair share of battles, skirmishes, raids, and guerrilla warfare, with places like Harpers Ferry, Philippi, and Rich Mountain becoming household names in 1861. When the Commonwealth of Virginia seceded from the Union on April 17, 1861, leaders primarily from the northwestern region of the state began the political process that eventually led to the creation of West Virginia on June 20, 1863. Renowned Civil War historian Mark A. Snell has written the first thorough history of these West Virginians and their civil war in more than fifty years.

    Directly from the headlines: Even before its mandated closer due to the Covid-19 virus epidemic, after spending billions of dollars, the American education system was in crisis. Students were not being prepared for anything except more years without adequate benefit and were turning off. Teachers were quitting in droves, and taxpayers were losing faith in the schools they paid for with their taxes. Resulting in nation-wide teacher shortages, it never needed to happen. This project is as explosive to the field of education as Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring was for agriculture and pesticides, or Ralph Nader’s Unsafe at Any Speed was for auto safety. And like those books, A Teacher’s Quest not only identifies problems but offers solutions.
