Download or read book Leaning on the Wind written by Sid Marty and published by Heritage House Publishing Co. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A finalist for the 1995 Governor General's Literary Award for English-language non-fiction Winner of the Mountain Environment and Culture Award at the 1995 Banff Mountain Book Festival Leaning on the Wind is a love song of the west, sung to the tune of the wild chinook wind. Sid Marty skilfully weaves together the prehistory of Alberta with the experiences of First Nations, miners, early homesteaders and his own family. At the centre of his tale is the Marty homestead, located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Sid looks back through generations of his family and celebrates the feats of wild creatures and wild westerners. The past comes alive in these pages, but so does the present, where you will meet cowboy poets, bull riders, sailplane pilots, desperate chicken farmers, curmudgeonly broncos, a homicidal cow elk, some dubious politicians and several fierce defenders of the earth. Humour and sardonic wit abound, along with abundant affection for the western earth and the people who depend on its bounties and experience its extremes of wind, frost and drought. A western classic, Leaning on the Wind is as evocative today as when it was first published in 1995.

Download or read book The Chinook Indians written by Robert H. Ruby and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1976 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chinook Indians, who originally lived at the mouth of the Columbia River in present-day Oregon and Washington, were experienced traders long before the arrival of white men to that area. When Captain Robert Gray in the ship Columbia Rediviva, for which the river was named, entered the Columbia in 1792, he found the Chinooks in an important position in the trade system between inland Indians and those of the Northwest Coast. The system was based on a small seashell, the dentalium, as the principal medium of exchange. The Chinooks traded in such items as sea otter furs, elkskin armor which could withstand arrows, seagoing canoes hollowed from the trunks of giant trees, and slaves captured from other tribes. Chinook women held equal status with the men in the trade, and in fact the women were preferred as traders by many later ships' captains, who often feared and distrusted the Indian men. The Chinooks welcomed white men not only for the new trade goods they brought, but also for the new outlets they provided Chinook goods, which reached Vancouver Island and as far north as Alaska. The trade was advantageous for the white men, too, for British and American ships that carried sea otter furs from the Northwest Coast to China often realized enormous profits. Although the first white men in the trade were seamen, land-based traders set up posts on the Columbia not long after American explorers Lewis and Clark blazed the trail from the United States to the Pacific Northwest in 1805. John Jacob Astor's men founded the first successful white trading post at Fort Astoria, the site of today's Astoria, Oregon, and the North West Company and the Hudson's Bay Company soon followed into the territory. As more white men moved into the area, the Chinooks began to lose their favored position as middlemen in the trade. Alcohol; new diseases such as smallpox, influenza, and venereal disease; intertribal warfare; and the growing number of white settlers soon led to the near extinction of the Chinooks. By 1&51, when the first treaty was made between them and the United States government, they were living in small, fragmented bands scattered throughout the territory. Today the Chinook Indians are working to revive their tribal traditions and history and to establish a new tribal economy within the white man's system.

Book excerpt: Young Tim Ethridge returns from Vietnam to find himself unwilling combatant in his father's war with Indian neighbors. Rejecting his demand to end a relationship with Amy Old Horse, daughter of his chief protagonist, the abusive and prejudiced old man sends him on a fool's errand to the mountains in search of strayed stock missed during fall roundup. Caught in a blizzard and marooned in an abandoned cabin, he's torn by indecision: await a search party, or strike out on his own. Brooding at a cabin window day after day, and haunted by his father's life-long railing that he's "just a weaklin' with hind-end lodged between two bales of straw," his life plays over and over in his mind like a bad picture show. Search party hopes dashed, and facing starvation, he sets out across the snow-locked high country, plagued by below-zero weather, another blizzard brewing, frostbitten leg and a wolf pack, reduced to a wandering, desperate soul on a swayback old mare in search of a light along the dark road of despair.
