Summary

In 'Nine Years Among the Indians: 1870-1879', Herman Lehmann offers a compelling autobiographical account that immerses readers in his harrowing and transformative experiences among the Native American tribes of the American Southwest. Written in a vivid and accessible literary style, Lehmann skillfully intertwines meticulous observations with personal anecdotes, presenting a nuanced portrayal of a culture often misunderstood by mainstream society. This work not only serves as a critical historical document, shedding light on the complexities of Native American life during a period of increasing conflict and displacement, but also reflects the broader themes of identity and cultural interaction in 19th-century America. Herman Lehmann, born into a German immigrant family, was snatched away from his home at a young age and thrust into a world that would fundamentally alter his worldview. His experiences as a captive provided him with unique insights into Native American customs and social structures, which he expressed through his writing. This immersive journey into a world perceived as 'other' was driven by his desire to reconcile his own fragmented identity in the face of cultural upheaval. Recommended for historians, anthropologists, and general readers alike, 'Nine Years Among the Indians' invites an exploration of cultural resilience and adaptation. Lehmann's evocative narrative not only captures the heart of a tumultuous era but also offers timeless reflections on humanity's shared struggles. Engage with this work to deepen your understanding of the complexities surrounding Native American history and cultural exchange.

    The story of a young, Black Communist Party organizer wrongly convicted of attempting to incite insurrection and the landmark case that made him a civil rights hero. 
 
 
 
Decades before the impeachment of an American president for a similar offense, Angelo Herndon was charged under Georgia law with "attempting to incite insurrection"—a crime punishable by death. In 1932, the eighteen-year-old Black Communist Party organizer was arrested and had his room illegally searched and his radical literature seized. Charged under an old slave insurrection statute, Herndon was convicted by an all-white jury and sentenced to eighteen to twenty years on a chain gang. 
 
 
 
A legal odyssey of Herndon's narrow escape from certain death because of his unpopular political beliefs, You Can't Kill a Man Because of the Books He Reads explores Herndon's journey from Alabama coal miner to Communist Party organizer to Harlem hero and beyond. Brad Snyder tells the stories of the diverse coalition of people who rallied to his cause and who twice appealed his case to the US Supreme Court. They forced the Court to recognize free speech and peaceable assembly as essential rights in a democracy—a landmark decision in 1930s America as well as today.

    Did you know that cats were extremely sacred in ancient Egypt and those who killed one could be punished by death? 
According to many Egyptologists, the ancient Egyptians never considered animals to be gods. Instead, they were considered the personification of their powerful deities, which explained why the Egyptians often depicted their ancient gods with animal heads. The same could also be said about cats; they were most certainly not worshiped but were held in high regard. Before becoming symbols of divinity and protection, cats were often adopted by the Egyptians since they were useful predators. Cats were used to protect households from pests and dangerous animals, such as rats and snakes.  
The Persians took advantage of the Egyptians’ love of cats. In an effort to turn the tide in a certain battle, the Persians marched to the battlefield with a great number of cats, resulting in the surrender of the Egyptian troops. Of course, whether or not this was true remains disputed, especially when many of the ancient records were either exaggerated or biased—one of the reasons why curious readers might find it slightly difficult to explore the rise and fall of ancient Egypt. 
Here’s just a small fraction of what you’ll discover:The mysterious identities of Narmer and Menes, the first pharaoh of EgyptHow the Great Pyramid of Giza was constructed with human handsThe dangerous journey into the realm of the deadA detailed process of mummificationHow Egypt was forced to bow down to its first foreign pharaoh The biggest chariot war in history between the Egyptians and the HittitesHow Egypt’s religious beliefs played a role in its governmentThe fall of Egypt after the death of Cleopatra VII
