Sinossi

In "A Life on the American Frontiers: Collected Works of Henry Schoolcraft," readers are offered a profound exploration of early American frontiers through the eyes of a pioneering ethnographer and geologist. Schoolcraft's prose combines an analytical rigor with captivating narrative, detailing not just the geographical landscapes but also the intricate social and cultural fabrics of Native American tribes. Rich in descriptive detail, his writings serve as both an ethnographic record and a compelling journey into the heart of 19th-century America, contextualizing the complex relationship between settlers and Indigenous peoples during a time of profound transformation and conflict. Henry Schoolcraft, often regarded as one of the first serious American anthropologists, drew upon his extensive travels through the Great Lakes region and beyond to produce this collection. His background in geology and a deep interest in Native American cultures, fostered by an early mentorship with figures like the Ojibwe, played a critical role in shaping his worldview. Schoolcraft's commitment to preserving Native American histories and languages is evident in his meticulous research, making him a significant voice in the early discourse on American identity and Indigenous rights. This collection is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersections of culture, history, and geography in early America. Schoolcraft's work provides invaluable insights into the American frontier's complexities, challenging contemporary readers to reflect on the narratives that shaped a nation. Ideal for scholars, students, and general readers alike, it stands as a cornerstone in understanding the diverse tapestry of American history.

    "Part diary, part scientific journal, part detective story, part love story: The Case of Emily V is thoroughly post-modern in its deliberate blurring of the distinction between fact and fiction, its cavalier blending of literary genres. But Oatley's first novel … also resembles old 19th-century literature. His characters are dynamic, his storylines complex and suspenseful, his soial commentary broad and integral to the plot." - Marie Campbell, Quill& Quire Quotables

    Two leaders of the National Park Service provide a front-row seat to the disastrous impact of partisan politics over the past fifty years—and offer a bold vision for the parks’ future. 
      
    The US National Parks, what environmentalist and historian Wallace Stegner called America’s “best idea,” are under siege. Since 1972, partisan political appointees in the Department of the Interior have offered two conflicting views of the National Park Service (NPS): one vision emphasizes preservation and science-based decision-making, and another prioritizes economic benefits and privatization. These politically driven shifts represent a pernicious, existential threat to the very future of our parks. 
      
    For the past fifty years, brothers Jonathan B. and T. Destry Jarvis have worked both within and outside NPS as leaders and advocates. National Parks Forever interweaves their two voices to show how our parks must be protected from those who would open them to economic exploitation, while still allowing generations to explore and learn in them. Their history also details how Congress and administration appointees have used budget and staffing cuts to sabotage NPS’s ability to manage the parks and even threatened their existence. Drawing on their experience, Jarvis and Jarvis make a bold and compelling proposal: that it is time for NPS to be removed from the Department of the Interior and made an independent agency, similar to the Smithsonian Institution, giving NPS leaders the ability to manage park resources and plan our parks’ protection, priorities, and future.
