Book excerpt: Daylight in the Swamp is the bush memoirs of Selwyn Dewdney, a noted Canadian artist and recorder of native rock art. His two great loves, art and the Canadian north, come together in this book. His respect for native culture and art is reflected in his own work, his insight into native rock art, and his passion for canoeing and the northern experience.The third theme of the book is history spanning the period from 1910 through to the 1970s during which the old north largely vanished. Dewdney was there to record the images of forgotten dreams painted on rocks and cliffs throughout the Canadian Shield. Thanks to these memoirs we are all there to witness these things with Dewdney.

Book excerpt: In the churning aftermath of the turbulent sixties, teenager Seth Wickman attempts to lead a quiet life on his parents' farm. One August evening his serenity is disrupted when he receives a call from a frantic neighbor, Wylie Barone, claiming to have just seen a strange light in the dark woods beyond his home. Skeptical yet curious, Seth responds to Wylie's plea without delay and soon witnesses a glowing, green figure slowly emerging from behind a stand of tall pine trees. Much to his chagrin, Seth eventually realizes he has been lured into a hoax perpetrated by Wylie and another mutual friend, Wade Hotchner. Humiliated and wishing very much to escape the butt of a joke, Seth blindly reaches for a diversion. Utilizing the pretense of improving on their scheme, he employs them to help him organize a more elaborate charade aimed at a larger audience. While they plot to scare the daylights out of their intended victims, nothing prepares them for the radical and dangerous chain of events that are about to mar even the best laid plans. As adolescence humor and hormones abound, Seth gradually discovers that there is a fine line between imagination and the reality that accompanies learning the ultimate truth.
Download or read book The Slave in the Swamp written by William Tynes Cowa and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 2005. In 19th century plantation literature, the runaway slave in the swamp was a recurring bogey-man whose presence challenged myths of the plantation system. By escaping to the swamps with its wild and threatening connotations, the runaway gained an invisibility that was more threatening to the institution than open rebellion. In part, the proslavery plantation novel served to transform that image of the free slave in the swamp from its untouchable, abstract state to a form that could be possessed, understood, and controlled. Essentially, writers defending the institution would conjure forth the rebellious image in order to dispel it safely.

Download or read book Wildmen Wobblies Whistle Punks written by Stewart H. Holbrook and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stewart Holbrook - high-school dropout, logger, journalist, storyteller, and historian - was one of the best-loved figures in the Pacific Northwest during the two decades preceding his death in 1964. This anthology collects two dozen of his best pieces about his adopted home, the Pacific Northwest. Holbrook believed in "lowbrow or non-stuffed shirt history." Holbrook's lowbrow Northwest ranges from British Columbia logging camps to Oregon ranches, and is peopled with fascinating characters like Liverpool Liz of the old Portland waterfront, the over-sexed prophet Joshua II of the Church of the Brides of Christ in Corvallis, and Arthur Boose, the last Wobbly paper boy. Here are stories of forgotten scandals and crimes, forest fires, floods, and other catastrophes, stories of workers, underdogs, scoundrels, dreamers, and fanatics, stories that bring the past to life.

Download or read book Long Long Tales from the Russian North written by Jack V. Haney and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2013-03-19 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of folktales from the Far North of European Russia features seventeen works by five narrators of the Russian tale, all recorded in the twentieth century. The tales, distinguished by their extraordinary length and by the manner in which they were commonly told, appear to have flourished only in the twentieth century and only in Russian Karelia. Although the tales are easily recognized as wondertales, or fairy tales, their treatment of the traditional matter is anything but usual. In these tales one encounters such topics as regicide, matricide, patricide, fratricide, premarital relations between the sexes and more, all related in the typical manner of the Russian folktale. The narrators were not educated beyond a rudimentary level. All were middle-aged or older, and all were men. Crew members of a fishing or hunting vessel plying the White Sea or lumberjacks or trappers in the vast northern forests, they frequently began the narration of a tale in an evening, then broke off at an appropriate moment and continued at a subsequent gathering. Such tales were thus told serially. Given their length, their thematic and narrative complexity, and their stylistic proficiency, one might even refer to them as orally delivered Russian short stories or novellas.
