The Frontier's People - A Journey into Native American Lands

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

Journey through the captivating world of Native American tribes as seen through the eyes of George Catlin, a renowned artist whose passion for their culture propelled him on an extraordinary odyssey across the American frontier. In this immersive narrative, we follow Catlin's footsteps, encountering diverse tribes, witnessing their struggles and triumphs, and gaining a profound understanding of their enduring spirit.

With his keen eye for detail and deep respect for Native American traditions, Catlin's paintings offer a unique window into a world that has largely vanished. Through his art, he sought to bridge the cultural divide between Native Americans and white settlers, fostering understanding and appreciation for the richness and diversity of their cultures.

This book takes readers on a journey through Catlin's travels, from the bustling cities of the East Coast to the uncharted territories of the American West. We encounter a kaleidoscope of Native American tribes, each with its own distinct language, customs, and beliefs. We witness their daily lives, their ceremonies, and their interactions with the natural world.

Along the way, we learn about the challenges Native Americans faced as European settlers encroached on their lands and disrupted their way of life. We witness their resilience in the face of adversity and their determination to preserve their cultural heritage. We also explore the complex relationship between Catlin and the Native American tribes he encountered, a relationship marked by both mutual respect and cultural misunderstandings.

Through Catlin's eyes, we gain a deeper appreciation for the beauty, diversity, and resilience of Native American cultures. His paintings and writings serve as a testament to the enduring spirit of these communities and their unwavering connection to the land. This book is a captivating tribute to Catlin's legacy and a celebration of the rich cultural heritage of Native Americans.

State of the Union 1984

Ronald Reagan

The 1984 State of the Union address, delivered January 25, 1984, praises “bipartisan cooperation” and says: “For a time we forgot the American dream isn't one of making government bigger; it's keeping faith with the mighty spirit of free people under God.” “Inflation has been beaten down from 12.4 to 3.2 percent…” “Real after-tax income increased 5 percent last year.” “We're seeing rededication to bedrock values of faith, family, work, neighborhood, peace, and freedom…” 
Let us agree on goals to keep America free and secure. Our first goal is vigorous economic growth. “We can begin by limiting the size and scope of government.” The Grace Commission has 2500 recommendations to reduce wasteful spending. Also, the line-item veto which 43 of the 50 States, including California, grant their Governors is a powerful tool against wasteful spending. 
Additional programs are proposed including a permanently manned space station. Tuition tax credits are recommended for parents who pay private school tuition to improve education by increasing competition among schools. School prayer and a law to protect unborn children from abortion are advocated, as are enterprise zones for high-unemployment areas. 
Finally, peace is our great goal and highest aspiration. “The future is best decided by ballots, not bullets.” We will seek concerted action to combat terrorism, and work for “freer world trade, greater competition, and more open markets.” “A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.”  
Carl Sandburg said, “I see America in the crimson light of a rising sun fresh from the burning, creative hand of God… I see great days ahead for men and women of will and vision.''
