Download or read book Revenge of the Pequots written by Kim Isaac Eisler and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2002-03-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mashantucket Pequots have had a long and proud history, enduring for centuries even after colonists and historians believed them to have been exterminated by the British in 1637. By the early 1970s, however, the legacy of their generations rested on the shoulders of a single elderly woman, upon whose death the Pequots' reservation would fall into government hands. Her grandson, Richard "Skip" Hayward, and other relatives responded to her pleas and kept alive the tribe and its land by coming to live on the reservation. Journalist Kim Isaac Eisler tells in riveting detail how Hayward and others skillfully manipulated laws, court decisions, and political connections to permit the Mashantucket Pequots to found the Foxwoods Resort and Casino in 1992. Located in Ledyard, Connecticut, Foxwoods today is arguably the world's most profitable casino complex, grossing over one billion dollars annually. The Mashantucket Pequots have become staggeringly rich, their tribal membership has swelled, and they are now an influential force in national politics. Their triumph has not been without controversy: Eisler also examines the volatile issue of racial identity among the Pequots and looks at the negative impact of Foxwoods on those who also make their home in the Connecticut woods.

Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From USA TODAY bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones comes a “masterpiece” (Locus Magazine) of a novel about revenge, cultural identity, and the cost of breaking from tradition. Labeled “one of 2020’s buzziest horror novels” (Entertainment Weekly), this is a remarkable horror story that “will give you nightmares—the good kind of course” (BuzzFeed). Seamlessly blending classic horror and a dramatic narrative with sharp social commentary, The Only Good Indians is “a masterpiece.

This novel follows four American Indian men after a disturbing event from their youth puts them in a desperate struggle for their lives. Tracked by an entity bent on revenge, these childhood friends are helpless as the culture and traditions they left behind catch up to them in violent, vengeful ways.

ON the same day (Monday, August 18th), between 6 and 7 A. M., the whites on the lower Agency could see that the Indians had something in view. During the previous day they had been carrying on their dances amidst extraordinary excitement and a terrible uproar. The road leading to the agency was that morning crowded with Indians decked out for war. The majority were painted in gaudy colors--many of them quite naked--and they carried, besides ammunition, the never-to-be-forgotten medicine bottle. All were well armed. After the workmen who were employed at the agency had taken their breakfast at the restaurant one of them remarked: "Boys, there is something up with the Indians. Things are not as they ought to be." His companion answered: "Bosh! what do you imagine? They will probably hold one of their sham battles." But most of these understood the state of affairs, and the foreman gave orders at once to have the sheep and cattle brought in without delay. During that time the Indians were quietly trying to get the Government horses at the agency into their hands. John Lamb had some fine animals under his care. He ran into the barn just as the Indians were leading them out...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Indians' Revenge; Or, Days of Horror: Some Appalling Events in the History of the Sioux New Ulm is situated in Brown County on the right shore of the Minnesota River, and is named after an important city and an old fort standing on the shore of the Danube in Wurtemberg. With the exception of about sixteen families of other nationalities, the inhabitants of New Ulm are Germans, and number over four thousand. The town-site will accommodate comfortably not less than 100,000 inhabitants; but, for its situation, rising as it does, terrace after terrace, from the bank of the river to the oak-crowned hills at the back, it is a beautiful spot. It can boast of a finer and more picturesque location than that of thousands of other villages and towns. Nearly all the working classes have cosy homes, surrounded by neat gardens. Built of stone and brick are substantial stores and costly dwellings, all which bespeak the prosperity of this little German burg. Two monuments adorn the city - that of Herman the Cherusci, and the Indian monument commemorating the siege of New Ulm in 1862.

Download or read book Flight written by Sherman Alexie and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the National Book Award–winning author of The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, the tale of a troubled boy’s trip through history. Half Native American and half Irish, fifteen-year-old “Zits” has spent much of his short life alternately abused and ignored as an orphan and ward of the foster care system. Ever since his mother died, he’s felt alienated from everyone, but, thanks to the alcoholic father whom he’s never met, especially disconnected from other Indians. After he runs away from his latest foster home, he makes a new friend. Handsome, charismatic, and eloquent, Justice soon persuades Zits to unleash his pain and anger on the uncaring world. But picking up a gun leads Zits on an unexpected time-traveling journey through several violent moments in American history, experiencing life as an FBI agent during the civil rights movement, a mute Indian boy during the Battle of Little Bighorn, a nineteenth-century Indian tracker, and a modern-day airplane pilot. When Zits finally returns to his own body, “he begins to understand what it means to be the hero, the villain and the victim. . . . Mr. Alexie succeeds yet again with his ability to pierce to the heart of matters, leaving this reader with tears in her eyes” (The New York Times Book Review). Sherman Alexie’s acclaimed novels have turned a spotlight on the unique experiences of modern-day Native Americans, and here, the New York Times–bestselling author of The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven and The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian takes a bold new turn, combining magical realism with his singular humor and insight. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Sherman Alexie including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.

Download or read book The Patient Assassin written by Anita Anand and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “compelling [and] vivid” (The New York Times Book Review) true story of a man who claimed to be a survivor of a 1919 British massacre in India, his elaborate twenty-year plan for revenge, and the mix of truth and legend that made him a hero to hundreds of millions. When Sir Michael O’Dwyer, the Lieutenant Governor of Punjab, ordered Brigadier General Reginald Dyer to Amritsar, he wanted Dyer to bring the troublesome city to heel. Sir Michael had become increasingly alarmed at the effect Gandhi was having on his province, as well as recent demonstrations, strikes, and shows of Hindu-Muslim unity. All these things, to Sir Michael, were a precursor to a second Indian revolt. What happened next shocked the world. An unauthorized gathering in the Jallianwallah Bagh in Amritsar in April 1919 became the focal point for Sir Michael’s law enforcers. Dyer marched his soldiers into the walled public park, blocking the only exit. Then, without issuing any order to disperse, he instructed his men to open fire, turning their guns on the crowd, which numbered in the thousands and included women and children. The soldiers continued firing for ten minutes, stopping only when they ran out of ammunition. According to legend, nineteen-year-old Sikh orphan Udham Singh was injured in the attack, and remained surrounded by the dead and dying until he was able to move the next morning. Then, he supposedly picked up a handful of blood-soaked earth, smeared it across his forehead, and vowed to kill the men responsible. The truth, as the author has discovered, is more complex—but no less dramatic. Award-winning journalist Anita Anand traced Singh’s journey through Africa, the United States, and across Europe until, in March 1940, the young man finally arrived in front of O’Dwyer himself in a London hall ready to shoot him down. The Patient Assassin “mixes Tom Ripley’s con-man-for-all-seasons versatility with Edmond Dantès’s persistence” (The Wall Street Journal) and reveals the incredible but true story behind a legend that still endures today.
