Download American Burial Ground Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In popular mythology, the Overland Trail is typically a triumphant tale, with plucky easterners crossing the Plains in caravans of covered wagons. But not everyone reached Oregon and California. Some 6,600 migrants perished along the way and were buried where they fell, often on Indigenous land. As historian Sarah Keyes illuminates, their graves ultimately became the seeds of U.S. expansion. By the 1850s, cholera epidemics, ordinary diseases, and violence had remade the Trail into an American burial ground that imbued migrant deaths with symbolic power. In subsequent decades, U.S. officials and citizens leveraged Trail graves to claim Native ground. Meanwhile, Indigenous peoples pointed to their own sacred burial grounds to dispute these same claims and maintain their land. These efforts built on anti-removal campaigns of the 1820s and 30s, which had established the link between death and territorial claims on which the significance of the Overland Trail came to rest. In placing death at the center of the history of the Overland Trail, American Burial Ground offers a sweeping and long overdue reinterpretation of this historic touchstone. In this telling, westward migration was a harrowing journey weighed down by the demands of caring for the sick and dying. From a tale of triumph comes one of struggle, defined as much by Indigenous peoples' actions as it was by white expansion. And, finally, from a migration to the Pacific emerges instead one of a trail of graves. Graves that ultimately undergirded Native dispossession.

Download Love Letter to Ramah Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In 1998 Tim and Lucia Amsden left their familiar lives in Kansas City and moved to the Ramah Valley in northwestern New Mexico. Love Letter to Ramah recounts their two decades of experiences there, nestled among an eclectic and diverse community of loving, earth-rooted people. It is also an evocation of the rich human and natural history permeating the area and the importancecentral to the traditional beliefs of Indigenous peopleof living in concert with the living earth. They built their house a few miles outside the tiny town of Ramah, an area where Mormons farm, old Spanish missions hunker above the bones of ancient peoples, and Native cultures abound. Beside the town runs New Mexico Highway 53, a two-lane road that meanders southwest from Grants to the Arizona border, tracing an ancient trade and exploration route that has existed for more than a thousand years. Much of New Mexico carries a strong sense of place, and that’s especially true in the Ramah area where the rich cultural tapestry, the geology and natural history, and the sky and brilliant night stars all give the land a deep and abiding energy. Many traditional Native American belief systems recognize the spiritual life of all things; in the land of the Puebloans and the Navajo, it’s easy to believe. Living in that place and within that community gave Tim and Lucia a profound and visceral understanding of our need to move the fragile blue marble of our earth back into balance. Just as important, it enhanced their awareness that we must shift ourselves into acknowledgment of and respect for our global community. It also gave them a firm belief that those things are indeed possible.

Download Olive Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In February of 1851, when Royce Oatman makes the fatal decision to take his pregnant wife and seven children across the Arizona desert alone in his haste to get to California, they are attacked and slaughtered by Tonto Apaches. Two of the children, Olive, fourteen and Mary Ann, eight, are captured and taken to the Apache village where they endure a year of slavery and deprivation. They are purchased by the daughter of the Chief of the Mojaves and taken to the Mojave village where they receive somewhat better treatment but are still slaves. After Mary Ann dies in a famine, Olive, if she is to survive, must assimilate into the Mojave tribe. She witnesses scenes of torture and savagery that disparage any thoughts of escape. When, after five years of captivity, she is suddenly returned to civilization, she must re-learn the ways of white society and never reveal the secrets of her past. Although every attempt is made to portray her as ‘the virgin captive,’ rumors persist until, in a dramatic climax, Olive reveals the shocking truth to her husband.
