Book excerpt: Black Hawk, An Epic American Indian Tragedy, offers poetic and historic perspectives on Chief Black Hawk and the Black Hawk War (April - August 1832). The epic poem sings the praises of Black Hawk and his family, including son Whirling Thunder, and laments their defeat. The history traces Black Hawk's life before, during and after the war, along with a day by day account of the battles fought against the US Army. After Black Hawk was captured he was brought to the East to act as a spokesman for native Americans and developed into a celebriity among the whites. Black Hawk was born in 1767 in the Sauk village of Saukenuk on the Rock River where Rock Island, Illinois is now located. His father, Pyesa, was the tribal medicine man. The Sauk people used the village in the spring and summer for raising corn and as a burial site, then broke into small groups and moved across the Mississippi River for winter hunting and fur trapping. Although Black Hawk inherited an important medicine bundle, he was not one of the Sauk's civil chiefs. His status came from leading successful war parties against competing Indian tribes and serving the British as head of all the native forces allied with them in the War of 1812. He carried the rank of brevet Brigadier General and was familiar with military strategy and protocol as a result of that experience. JOAN BONNELL CLARK brings her long time passion for the Black Hawk story to the written page with this small volume containing her epic poem on the Black Hawk War, along with a day by day history of the conflict. Rev. Clark is an ordained Episcopal deacon and retired from the faculty of Rockford University in Rockford, Illinois. She currently lives and writes in Florida. She is the author of four previous books: Along The Way, Glimpses Of God, and All About Love From Mixed Experience--all poetry collections--and a novel, All My Ladies.

Book excerpt: #1 New York Times Bestseller: The “riveting” account of the 1993 operation in Mogadishu—the longest sustained firefight involving US troops since Vietnam (The Wall Street Journal). On October 3, 1993, about a hundred elite US soldiers were dropped by helicopter into the teeming market in the heart of Mogadishu, Somalia. Their mission was to abduct two top lieutenants of a Somali warlord and return to base. It was supposed to take an hour. Instead, they found themselves pinned down through a long and terrible night fighting against thousands of heavily armed Somalis. The following morning, eighteen Americans were dead and more than seventy had been badly wounded. Drawing on interviews from both sides, army records, audiotapes, and videos (some of the material is still classified), Bowden’s minute-by-minute narrative is one of the most exciting accounts of modern combat ever written—a true story that captures the heroism, courage, and brutality of battle. “One of the most gripping and authoritative accounts of combat ever written.” —USA Today “Journalistic writing at its best.” —The Boston Globe “Vivid, immediate, and unsparing.” —The Washington Post Includes a new afterword

Download or read book The Corpse in the Kitchen written by Adam John Waterman and published by Fordham University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-21 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reassessing the archive of the Black Hawk War, The Corpse in the Kitchen explores relationships between the enclosure of Indigenous land, histories of resource extraction, and the literary culture of settler colonialism. While conventional histories of the Black Hawk War have long treated the conflict as gratuitous, Adam John Waterman argues that the war part of a struggle over the dispensation of mineral resources specifically, mineral lead—and the emergence of new cultures of killing and composition. The elemental basis for the fabrication of bullets, lead drawn from the mines of the upper Mississippi, contributed to the dispossession of Indigenous peoples through the consolidation of U.S. control over a vital military resource. Rendered as metallic type, Mississippian lead contributed to the expansion of print culture, providing the occasion for literary justifications of settler violence, and promulgating the fiction of Indigenous disappearance. Treating the theft and excarnation of Black Hawk’s corpse as coextensive with processes of mineral extraction, Waterman explores ecologies of racial capitalism as forms of inscription, documentary traces written into the land. Reading the terrestrial in relation to more conventional literary forms, he explores the settler fetishization of Black Hawk’s body, drawing out homoerotic longings that suffuse representations of the man and his comrades. Moving from print to agriculture as modes of inscription, Waterman looks to the role of commodity agriculture in composing a history of settler rapine, including literal and metaphoric legacies of anthropophagy. Traversing mouth and stomach, he concludes by contrasting forms of settler medicine with Black Hawk’s account of medicine as an embodied practice, understood in relation to accounts of dreaming and mourning, processes that are unforgivably slow and that allow time for the imagination of other futures, other ways of being.

Book excerpt: In 1832, facing white expansion, the Sauk warrior Black Hawk attempted to forge a pan-Indian alliance to preserve the homelands of the confederated Sauk and Fox tribes on the eastern bank of the Mississippi. Here, Patrick J. Jung re-examines the causes, course, and consequences of the ensuing war with the United States, a conflict that decimated Black Hawk's band. Correcting mistakes that plagued previous histories, and drawing on recent ethnohistorical interpretations, Jung shows that the outcome can be understood only by discussing the complexity of intertribal rivalry, military ineptitude, and racial dynamics.

Book excerpt: George Kilgo was a simple farmer living with his wife and children in Winston County, Alabama when the Civil War started. Owning no slaves, all he and his neighbors wanted was to remain neutral and be left alone. Unfortunately the Confederacy and the notorious Home Guard had other plans for these Tories. After a series of tragic events George and his friend Bill Looney were faced with either death or being forced into the Confederate army. Instead they fled north and went to work for the Union General John Alexander Black Jack Logan as recruiters and scouts. A part of what happened in the Free State of Winston was made famous in the play The Incident at Looney's Tavern (which ran for thirteen years and was named one of the top 20 events in the Southeast.) This book fills in the gaps with the adventures of George Kilgo, the Black Hawk and Bill Looney, the Black Fox. Their story is a legend passed down from generation to generation in the Free State of Winston. The author is proud to share family stories of his great grandfather, George the Black Hawk Kilgo an imperfect man who carried out a personal mission of love for his wife and children.
