Sinossi

In "Our Fellows; Or, Skirmishes with the Swamp Dragoons," Harry Castlemon immerses readers in a vivid narrative inspired by the American Civil War, intertwining themes of camaraderie, valor, and the harsh realities of military life. Employing a colloquial style rich in dialogue and regional vernacular, Castlemon deftly captures the spirit of youthful adventure and the burdens of conflict. The book serves as a window into the experiences of young soldiers, blending humor with poignant moments that illuminate their struggles amidst the dismal backdrop of war-torn swamps. Harry Castlemon, an influential writer of boys'Äô literature in the late 19th century, draws on his own observations from his upbringing in rural America and the zeitgeist of growing nationalism. His personal connections to the war and youthful exploits shaped his portrayal of soldierly exploits and his character-driven narratives. These experiences are woven seamlessly into the fabric of the story, providing authenticity and emotional depth that resonate with the reader. This compelling tale is recommended for readers interested in historical fiction, character studies, and the exploration of youthful bravery during tumultuous times. Castlemon's engaging storytelling invites readers young and old to experience the trials and triumphs of his characters, making "Skirmishes with the Swamp Dragoons" a timeless adventure worth exploring.

    "Let me say at the outset that this book is not about Bear (he would be spoken of in the singular and masculine, capitalized and without an article), or it is only incidentally about him. I am less interested in defining the being of Bear than in trying to understand something about the spirit of wilderness, of which Bear is a very particular expression . . . Bear is a template of the wilderness."—from the Introduction 
 
 
 
Since receiving the Pulitzer Prize in 1969 for his novel House Made of Dawn, N. Scott Momaday has had one of the most remarkable careers in twentieth-century American letters. Here, in In the Bear's House, Momaday passionately explores themes of loneliness, sacredness, and aggression through his depiction of Bear, the one animal that has both inspired and haunted him throughout his lifetime. 
 
 
 
With transcendent dignity and gentleness, In the Bear's House celebrates Momaday's extraordinary creative vision and his evolution as one of our most gifted artists.
