Sinopsis

In "Rising Wolf the White Blackfoot," James Willard Schultz presents a compelling narrative that intertwines autobiography with the rich tapestry of Native American culture, specifically that of the Blackfoot tribe. The book employs a vivid and evocative literary style, drawing upon an ethnographic lens that seeks to bridge the gap between indigenous experiences and settler perspectives. Schultz's writing is imbued with a sense of authenticity, as he reflects on his life experiences among the Blackfoot, who bestowed upon him the name "Rising Wolf." This work situates itself within a broader literary context that explores the complexities of identity, cultural assimilation, and the preservation of indigenous traditions during a time of substantial upheaval in North America. James Willard Schultz was an early 20th-century author, explorer, and ethnographer whose deep affinity for the Blackfoot people shaped his life and work. His firsthand experiences living among and learning from the tribe inform the poignant narratives found in his writings. Schultz's unique position as a white man immersed in Native culture allows him to present an insider'Äôs perspective, cultivating mutual respect and understanding that is often absent from contemporary portrayals of indigenous peoples. "Rising Wolf the White Blackfoot" is a profound exploration of cultural identity and kinship that is essential reading for anyone interested in Native American history, ethnography, or multicultural narratives. It not only enriches our understanding of the Blackfoot tribe but also challenges readers to consider their own cultural narratives in the broader context of American history.

    A young boy plunged too soon into manhood when the death of his parents left him alone to fend for himself in a world where it's dog eat dog. Only fourteen years old in 1954, he meets a hobo who educates him about "riding the rails," and he catches a freight train in Fort Worth, Texas, headed for California. The trip is long, cold, and dangerous, but he is determined and strong willed. The boy finally makes it to a farm labor camp in California, where he finds his long-lost older brother, and they set out on new adventures. Hard times and new friends are in store for him. The book discusses how people who were looked down on as "Okies" during and after the Great Depression were able to rise up, accomplishing great deeds and dedication to their country. There is loss of loved ones and romance, an action-packed, historically correct novel that will leave one spellbound and wanting more. It's an entertaining, informative, and heartwarming reading experience. This is an autobiographical work of fiction that is loosely based on the real-life events of the author.

    The sight of a rotting corpse hanging from a noose is enough to stop any man in his tracks—and Luke Jensen is no exception. Sure, he could just keep riding through. He's got a prisoner to deliver, after all. But when a group of men show up with another prisoner for another hanging, Luke can't turn his back—especially when the condemned man keeps swearing he's innocent. Right up to the moment he's hung by the neck till he's dead . . .  
     
     
     
    Welcome to Hannigan's Hill, Wyoming. Better known as Hangman's Hill. Luke's pretty shaken up by what he's seen and decides to stay the night, get some rest and grab some grub. The town marshal agrees to lock up Luke's prisoner while Luke heads to a local saloon and restaurant called Mac's Place. The pub's owner—a former chuckwagon cook named Dewey "Mac" McKensie—serves up a bellyfull of chow and an earful of gossip. According to Mac, the whole town is run by corrupt cattle baron Ezra Hannigan. Ezra owns practically everything. Including the town marshal. And anyone who gets in his way ends up swinging from a rope . . .  
     
     
     
    Mac might be just an excellent cook. But he's got a ferocious appetite for justice—and a fearsome new friend in Luke. Together, they could end Hannigan's reign of terror. But when Hannigan calls in his guns, it'll be their necks on the line . . . or dancing from the end of a rope.

    A killer is on the loose, targeting victims with an elusive connection that young barrister Daniel Pitt must deduce before more bodies pile up, in this intricately woven mystery from New York Times bestselling author Anne Perry.  
     
    A serial killer is roaming the streets of London, and Daniel Pitt’s university chum Ian, now a member of the police, is leading the search. The murders happen on rainy nights, but Ian knows that the victims must have something in common  
    beyond the weather. He turns to Miriam fford Croft, Daniel’s good friend and now officially one of the first female pathologists in London, to tap her scientific knowhow to find details he and Daniel have missed.  
     
    With Miriam involved in the murder investigation, Ian passes to Daniel the case of Nicholas Wolford, their former university professor. Charged with assault after reacting violently to an accusation of plagiarism, Wolford, a proud, boastful man,  
    is loath to admit that he was in the wrong. But Daniel must defend him—whether he likes it or not.  
     
    As the murders continue with no clue as to who is committing them, Miriam, Daniel, and Ian find themselves questioning everything. Is the “Rainy-day Slasher,” as the newspapers have dubbed the killer, really just one person? Or have the  
    investigators stumbled into a more complicated web of deceit? The answer may lie closer than anyone could have expected.
