They are adorned in strange capes and wear odd coverings on their heads. They must be gods from the land beyond the setting sun!"Charquin lifted his hand high above his head in greeting. His fellow tribesmen, following their leader's gesture, did the same.The strange vessel banked across the wind and headed out to sea. An acknowledging puff of blue-gray smoke appeared at the center, signaling the presence of fire. Then came a deafening roar. There was a long silence after the last speck of the visitors' craft disappeared.Finally, Charquin spoke. "What we have seen must be remembered."Spain is on the move in California and in turmoil at home. As wars ensue and revolutions brew, a Gypsy woman flees her captors, a young soldier dreams of a future, and a French naval officer conquers a dancer's heart.On the crescent shores of the great bay, a priest battles inner demons while pursuing men's souls. An Ohlone chief is worried. He does not understand his spirit guide, the Lioness. He hopes the shaman's lifeforce in his young daughter will point the way.Set during the latter half of the turbulent eighteenth century, Five Hundred Moons spans nearly five decades and two continents.

Download or read book War and Gold written by Kwasi Kwarteng and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2014-05-27 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world was wild for gold. After discovering the Americas, and under pressure to defend their vast dominion, the Habsburgs of Spain promoted gold and silver exploration in the New World with ruthless urgency. But, the great influx of wealth brought home by plundering conquistadors couldn't compensate for the Spanish government's extraordinary military spending, which would eventually bankrupt the country multiple times over and lead to the demise of the great empire. Gold became synonymous with financial dependability, and following the devastating chaos of World War I, the gold standard came to express the order of the free market system. Warfare in pursuit of wealth required borrowing -- a quickly compulsive dependency for many governments. And when people lost confidence in the promissory notes and paper currencies issued during wartime, governments again turned to gold. In this captivating historical study, Kwarteng exposes a pattern of war-waging and financial debt -- bedmates like April and taxes that go back hundreds of years, from the French Revolution to the emergence of modern-day China. His evidence is as rich and colorful as it is sweeping. And it starts and ends with gold.
