Beschreibung

In the heart of the American West, a tale of two warriors unfolds, their lives intertwined by destiny. Crazy Horse, the fearless leader of the Oglala Sioux, and George Armstrong Custer, the audacious general of the United States Army, were men of courage, ambition, and unwavering determination.

This book delves into the rich history of the Great Plains, exploring the culture, traditions, and struggles of the Oglala Sioux as they faced the encroaching forces of white settlers. Crazy Horse emerges as a symbol of resistance, his vision for unity and freedom propelling him to the forefront of a fight for the survival of his people.

On the other side of the conflict, George Armstrong Custer, a rising star in the United States Army, seeks glory and advancement on the frontier. His belief in the superiority of his troops and his unwavering determination to subdue the Native American tribes set him on a collision course with Crazy Horse and the Oglala Sioux.

American Whitelash - A Changing...

Wesley Lowery

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
An NPR Best Book of the Year • Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year
Longlisted for the 2024 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence
“American Whitelash is indispensable. Really. It is.” – Ibram X. Kendi, author of How to Be an Antiracist
Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Wesley Lowery confronts the sickness at the heart of American society: the cyclical pattern of violence that has marred every moment of racial progress in this country, and whose bloodshed began anew following Obama’s 2008 election.
In 2008, Barack Obama’s historic victory was heralded as a turning point for the country. And so it would be—just not in the way that most Americans hoped. The election of the nation’s first Black president fanned long-burning embers of white supremacy, igniting a new and frightening phase in a historical American cycle of racial progress and white backlash.
In American Whitelash, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and best-selling author Wesley Lowery charts the return of this blood-stained trend, showing how the forces of white power retaliated against Obama’s victory—and both profited from, and helped to propel, the rise of Donald Trump. Interweaving deep historical analysis with gripping firsthand reporting on both victims and perpetrators of violence, Lowery uncovers how this vicious cycle is carrying us into ever more perilous territory, how the federal government has failed to intervene, and how we still might find a route of escape.

Steel Drivin' Man: John Henry...

Scott Reynolds Nelson

The ballad "John Henry" is the most recorded folk song in American history and John Henry--the mighty railroad man who could blast through rock faster than a steam drill--is a towering figure in our culture. 
In Steel Drivin' Man, Scott Reynolds Nelson recounts the true story of the man behind the iconic American hero, telling the poignant tale of a young Virginia convict who died working on one of the most dangerous enterprises of the time, the first rail route through the Appalachian Mountains. Using census data, penitentiary reports, and railroad company reports, Nelson reveals how John Henry, victimized by Virginia's notorious Black Codes, was shipped to the infamous Richmond Penitentiary to become prisoner number 497, and was forced to labor on the mile-long Lewis Tunnel for the C&O railroad. Equally important, Nelson masterfully captures the life of the ballad of John Henry, tracing the song's evolution from the first printed score by blues legend W. C. Handy, to Carl Sandburg's use of the ballad to become the first "folk singer," to the upbeat version by Tennessee Ernie Ford. 
Attractively illustrated with numerous images, Steel Drivin' Man offers a marvelous portrait of a beloved folk song--and a true American legend.
