  Between Square Buttes is 35 short pieces that chronicle the American West over the last 50 years.  It is bird hunting, fly fishing, dog breeding, dog trialing, decline of habitat, loss of access, but mostly it is the story of the greatness that still exists in America today.  It started as a tribute to the last best place, Montana.  But in the end, it may be the beginning of the end of the last best place.  Told anecdotally, it brings to life the rivers, the plains, and the dogs that hunt these vast stretches of prairie.  And finally, it tells of the changes in land ownership in the West as more and more of it is being eaten up by developers and new landowners from all over the world who want a piece of it before it all goes away.  Revel in the rare beauty and incredible richness through the eyes and understanding of a man who has been there and done that.  Between Square Buttes will make you happy, make you sad, lift your spirit and break your heart as you follow the life of a serious fly fisherman and bird hunter who hunted and fished the best when it was the best and left the rest behind in search of more rivers, and newer land to hunt.

  Across the Plains in the Donner...

  Virginia Reed Murphy

  The story of the Donner Party is very much the story of James F. Reed's family, not simply because the Reeds were prominent members, but because they left much documentary evidence: diaries, memoirs, correspondence, and letters written en route and interviews shortly after the disaster. 
   
  The adopted daughter of Reed, Virginia Reed Murphy's memoir is a noteworthy recounting of the Donner party disaster and its gruesome end. Her writing is sprightly, informal, and full of human interest.

  In 1968, civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer called for Americans to "wake up" if they wanted to "make democracy a reality." Today, as Black communities continue to face challenges built on centuries of discrimination, her plea is increasingly urgent. In this exhilarating anthology of original essays, Keisha N. Blain brings together the voices of major progressive Black women politicians, grassroots activists, and intellectuals to offer critical insights on how we can create a more equitable political future. 
   
   
   
  These women draw on their diverse experiences and expertise to speak to three core themes: claiming civil and human rights, building political and economic power, and combating all forms of hate. We hear from Black Lives Matter cofounder Alicia Garza, who argues that Black communities must organize to wield increased political power; EMILYs List president Laphonza Butler, who spells out ways to fight for women's reproductive rights; and Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, who delineates practical, thorough steps toward tangible reparations. Additional incisive essays include those by former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner; prison abolitionist Mariame Kaba; disability rights activist Andraéa LaVant; Boston's first woman and first Black mayor, Kim Michelle Janey; and others at the forefront of the ongoing fight for social justice.
