Book excerpt: Award-winning writer of Wyatt Earp, An American Odyssey, winner of the 2020 Will Rogers Medallion Award, a 2019 Spur Award Finalist and an “Editor’s Choice” by The Historical Novel Society In 1941 Jonas Walks-Through-the-Storm, a full-blooded Cherokee horse trainer in rural North Carolina, trains an equestrian unit at Camp Tuckasegee. As he straddles the racist divide while working with white men, a mutual love develops between him and the wife of an officer. In modern-day Chicago, Jonas’s one-quarter-native grandson, Russell, battles racism of another color. As a teacher at a mostly black school, he burns out in work, marriage, and self-esteem by sliding into alcoholic dissolution. Divorce, dismissal, and dejection quickly follow. Trying to exhume his self-respect, Russell attempts to revive his lineage through a self-imposed “trial by fire” alone in a night forest. This ceremony leads to a journey to retrace his grandfather’s story. Due to a past scandal, memories of Jonas have been erased in Russell’s family. Yet Russell’s childhood excursions with his grandfather persist. Wandering across Illinois and Wisconsin he interviews the people who knew Jonas and discovers a chain of sobering tragedies. When the search leads to North Carolina’s mountains, Russell comes full circle to his grandfather’s old homestead and discovers the love and purpose that the old man had bequeathed to him through a kinship with the land . . . and a brotherhood with horses.

Download or read book Horses in the Backyard written by John Sepich and published by . This book was released on 2011-06-17 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HORSES IN THE BACKYARD by JOHN SEPICH Internationally recognized for his scholarly NOTES ON BLOOD MERIDIAN, John Sepich brings readers to a quite different side of his writings in HORSES IN THE BACKYARD, a remarkable collection of dozens of short stories from Sepich's decade and a half of caring for horses at a boarding stable in rural central Illinois. Early reviewers of HORSES IN THE BACKYARD all agree that it is a fun, unique read. Each story can stand alone, but like a book of poems on a central theme, the compilation enriches the individual focus of each one. Illinois Poet Laureate Kevin Stein writes: "The eye serves as agent of John Sepich's wonderful HORSES IN THE BACKYARD. A thread of light stitches eye to head to heart to pragmatic fact, a luminous fabric woven by dint of daily attention and repetition. From horses Sepich knows labor but knows as well revelation. Work is work, the saying goes, but so is epiphany." John Sepich says, "There must be ten thousand picture books of horses, but every horse is frozen on the page. Here, the horses are in motion. There must be even more books on breaking and training and riding. Here, and from where I stand, the horses are more important than the people. I wasn't raised in the country. I wasn't raised with horses. But after fifteen years of experience these stories would be my answer to a number of questions. What's it like to live in the country with horses? What are the horses like? Is it a lot of work? What are the seasons like? What kinds of things happen? Where are the satisfactions?" Some stories are informational or precautionary, like advice on how to keep one's foot out from under the horse's. Others give insight into the day-to-day working life of a stable, plenty of chores and the moments between chores. But all are fascinating, all with the sense of a person discovering a world, drawing attention to that moment when the ordinary becomes sublime, where the simplest act of releasing horses into a pasture, or mowing pastures in the afternoon crosses that invisible line and the mundane turns beautiful. On the surface it may be about horses, but it is also about "Dogs and cats and snakes and mice, hawks and sparrows, hot summers and cold winters, wind and fires and rain and snow and clay mud, all in the bargain." Kevin Stein adds: "Marked by understatement and the sly aside, there's nothing grandiose here. There's only one man's genuinely seeing the creatures with whom he shares a world, each bordered by time and natural cycle as is he. Snowflakes mingle with bucketed water, snakes slither amid uncut grass, a horse's nostrils snuffle his open palm. These things mark his earthly horizon, evanescent but redemptive. Like the tiny barn bird wind-poised above his left shoulder, Sepich's eyes 'see everywhere,' the two of them 'looking out for a time over the same world.' This book's gift is to reveal that world as richly figured and vivifying." All of these things and more, HORSES IN THE BACKYARD is a highly recommended choice, engaging and entertaining the first time through, and the fifth time, and the fifteenth.

Download or read book The Horseman s Guide to the Meaning of Life written by Don Burt and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don Burt believes that we can learn as much about patience, commitment, strengths and weaknesses, and goals from our horses and other horsemen as we can teach them. He has made that perception an integral part of his life and his work with horses and riders. Whether introducing a young colt to saddle and bridle, competing in or judging an entry-level horse show or a national championship, or organizing an informal trail ride or running an international organization, Burt has observed, analyzed, and applied what he has experienced or observed to other aspects of his life. Drawing from decades of familiarity with thousands of horses and horsemen, the author distills and shares this wisdom in a folksy yet insightful style in The Horseman’s Guide to the Meaning of Life. As Burt tells us in this profound and entertaining reflection on his life and craft, “the horse will tell you everything if you take the time to pay attention.” “My experience working with Skyhorse is always a positive collaboration. The editors are first-rate professionals, and my books receive top-shelf treatment. I truly appreciate our working relationship and hope it continues for years to come.” –David Fischer, author
