Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The battle of Prairie Rose. In the dust and dirt of the Prairie Rose reservation, Chief Lincoln Red Crow built an empire. Now he's going to burn it all down. After decades spent selling darkness to the people he once swore to protect, Red Crow's seen the light. And he's made a declaration that his associates-- even his lethal, loyal bodyguard Shunka-- can't abide: stop all drug dealing and gangbanging immediately or die at his hand. But in the next county over, a similar change of heart has turned a crooked sheriff straight. Way he sees it, there's no better place to start cleaning up than by taking down Red Cloud himself-- even if that means disrupting the FBI's best-laid plans to do the same. Between them all stands agent Dash Bad Horse. Badly wounded, he's lost his voice but found the secret he's been looking for: the identity of the man who killed his mother, the crime that started it all. These men are about to go to war for the soul of the rez. Once they knuckle up, there's no telling who's going down" -- p. [4] of cover.

Book Andrew Jackson

Download or read book Andrew Jackson written by H. W. Brands and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2006-10-10 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist and New York Times bestselling author of The First American comes the first major single-volume biography in a decade of the president who defined American democracy • "A big, rich biography.” —The Boston Globe H. W. Brands reshapes our understanding of this fascinating man, and of the Age of Democracy that he ushered in. An orphan at a young age and without formal education or the family lineage of the Founding Fathers, Jackson showed that the presidency was not the exclusive province of the wealthy and the well-born but could truly be held by a man of the people. On a majestic, sweeping scale Brands re-creates Jackson’s rise from his hardscrabble roots to his days as frontier lawyer, then on to his heroic victory in the Battle of New Orleans, and finally to the White House. Capturing Jackson’s outsized life and deep impact on American history, Brands also explores his controversial actions, from his unapologetic expansionism to the disgraceful Trail of Tears. Look for H.W. Brands's other biographies: THE FIRST AMERICAN (Benjamin Franklin), THE MAN WHO SAVED THE UNION (Ulysses S. Grant), TRAITOR TO HIS CLASS (Franklin Roosevelt) and REAGAN.

Book excerpt: From his decision to leave school at fifteen to roam the world, to his recollections of life as a hobo on the Southern Pacific Railroad, as a cattle skinner in Texas, as a merchant seaman in Singapore and the West Indies, and as an itinerant bare-knuckled prizefighter across small-town America, here is Louis L'Amour's memoir of his lifelong love affair with learning—from books, from yondering, and from some remarkable men and women—that shaped him as a storyteller and as a man.

Their friend Egil has his own place nearby. Kathrine, a priest, is flying home from a Bible seminar, questioning her marriage. Journalist Jostein is out drinking for the night, while his wife, Turid, a nurse at a psychiatric care unit, is on a night shift when one of her patients escapes. Above them all, a huge star suddenly appears blazing in the sky. It brings with it a mysterious sense of foreboding. Strange things start to happen as nine lives come together under the star. Hundreds of crabs amass on the road as Arne drives at night; Jostein receives a call about a death metal band found brutally murdered in a Satanic ritual; Kathrine conducts a funeral service for a man she met at the airport – but is he actually dead?
