Sinopse

In "The Long Arm of the Mounted," James French Dorrance weaves a gripping narrative set against the backdrop of the Canadian wilderness, showcasing the diligent efforts of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police. Dorrance employs a vivid literary style that blends rich description with stark realism, effectively capturing both the serene beauty and harsh realities of frontier life. The novel is infused with themes of justice, duty, and the moral complexities faced by those in law enforcement, examining the profound impact of colonialism on indigenous populations during the late 19th century. Dorrance's keen eye for detail and character-driven storytelling invite readers into a world defined by both adventure and ethical dilemmas, resonating with the Western literary tradition while offering a fresh perspective on law and order in a changing landscape. James French Dorrance, an established writer influenced by the rugged landscapes and historical narratives of his native Canada, brings a personal connection to this subject. Having conducted extensive research into the history of the Mounties and their role in Canadian society, Dorrance's own experiences living in remote areas imbue his writing with authenticity. His passion for storytelling, combined with a profound understanding of the complexities of human ethics, moves readers to ponder the responsibilities of those who uphold the law. This book is a must-read for fans of historical fiction and those interested in the intricate relationship between law enforcement and societal change. Dorrance's thoughtful exploration of conscience and duty presents a compelling narrative that prompts reflection, making "The Long Arm of the Mounted" not just a thrilling adventure but also an important commentary on justice and morality in a rapidly evolving world.

    How We Got Our Antiracist...

    Over the past decade, several American cities have been rocked by race riots. With each passing year, a new racial agenda emerges—from police defunding to education reform to reparations—inciting more and more division and radicalization along racial lines. What started all of this? The roots of this pathology run much deeper than the recent symptoms suggest. The civil rights revolution unleashed an assault on the US Constitution, and the sacralization of that revolution, marked by the canonization of Brown v. Board of Education (1954), has transformed our constitutional order. A system once rooted in local self-governance and natural rights now operates along new moral axes, entirely foreign to the American way of life. The choice is increasingly obvious: Either the traditional American order or the new civil rights regime will prevail.

    Stand Watie: The Life and Legacy...

    Stand Watie’s life connects the traditional Cherokee homeland in Tennessee and Georgia, the fight within the tribe over leaving for the West or staying on their homeland and trying to resist, and the Trail of Tears. At the same time, his life also includes the ongoing split between mixed-blood and full-blood Cherokee in the Cherokee Nation, and the chaos of Indian Territory during the Civil War.  
    	On the surface, Indian Territory was peaceful and fairly prosperous, but old resentments simmered under the surface. The most dangerous of these was in the Cherokee Nation. Following the Cherokee removal, the leaders of the faction of the tribe that had actually signed the Treaty of New Echota suffered violence. There had been a law that giving away Cherokee land was punishable by death, and several of the leaders who signed the treaty were murdered. Stand Watie was one of the signers, and he barely escaped, but one of his brothers was executed. 
    	The Principal Chief was John Ross. He and his faction managed to retain political control of the Cherokee tribe, but there was lasting enmity between the Watie and Ross factions of the tribe. In a broad sense, the signers of the hated treaty were mixed-blood Cherokee, and the resistance had been led by full-bloods. Stand Watie headed the mixed-blood faction and John Ross the full-blood faction. Ironically, John Ross himself was mixed-blood and Watie was a full-blood, but regardless, this tribal split had important ramifications for the Cherokee in the coming war. 
    	Like the country as a whole, the Cherokee Nation was split over the question of slavery, and with an estimated 100 slaves owned, Watie was the biggest native slaveholder in the region. At the start of the war, Watie was commissioned as a colonel in Confederate service and later as a brigadier general. His 1st Cherokee Mounted Rifles Regiment fought more engagements than any other Confederate unit west of the Mississippi River.
