Letter from Michael Brant, son
of Chief Brant, to Louisa St. Clair, daughter of Governor St. Clair, after
the battle for the Northwest Territory:
"Louisa"
When stardust falls and illuminates lost trials of yesterday my
moccasin prints will not rejoice beside yours in the white pathways I hope
are before you. A beautiful dream dies of sadness in the heart.
The spirit of Spring is now hesitation upon syllables of sorrow for our
love is a mist of shadows. Teardrops tremble in my eyes and I know
it is you moving within my heart. Oh that I might weep with the rain
and whirl away with the clouds! No matter how hard I try to forget,
you will always return to my thoughts and I know any smoke you see from a
wood fire clinging to a November dawn in the Mohawk Valley will ever
remind you of me. Farewell, dearest Louisa. May you ever walk
in balance in the garden of the house of God.---
Michael" |

Southwest

In these stories of the
Heartland, Salaz has given the reader a fascinating selection of stories
which a prehistoric and modern, humorous and tragic, heroic and pathetic -
but importantly, true. I do not mean that they are true only in the
sense that eight out of ten stories are based on factual episodes.
Rather, the stories are true in that they capture the universal truth of
the human condition while preserving localized plots, settings, lives, and
themes. |

Pueblo Revolt Massacre
$19.99 |
This short work is the only book ever done from the point of view of the Christians who were slaughtered during the Pueblo Revolt. The short book nevertheless raises many important questions:
Why did non-combatants, mostly women and children, have to be killed?
How is it that this genocidal uprising got Po'pay into Statuary Hall in Washington D.C.?
Why is the massacre being celebrated?
Do New Mexicans know their own history? |
