Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spring 1766. An infant dead at childbirth. A despondent mother. Trickster Raven. Shifting allegiances. Continuing conflict. These are the things Liam Hicks must deal with as he navigates his way through a rapidly changing world. Long-held relationships are passing, and new ones need to be formed. Liam soon learns that sometimes his beliefs and the circumstances he is facing do not line up well. Trickster Raven has fooled the village midwife and Liam’s Ojibwa partner, Deedeens. Raven leads them to mistakenly believe that Deedeens’ newborn son is dead because she was not big enough to carry the baby of a man Liam’s size to term. Even though Ashagi-Manidoo’s dream that Liam and Deedeens will be together forever still holds much power, Deedeens refuses to see a future with Liam if she cannot deliver him future children. After many attempts to help Deedeens see things differently, Liam decides he must leave Aamjiwnaang to give her time and space to heal. Liam is offered the opportunity to go north with his fur-trader friend Charles de Langlade who is heading for the Ouisconsin Territory where the beaver can still be found in great numbers. On his return to Michilimackinac, Liam is asked by the new fort commander, Robert Rogers, to head out with an expedition that will be searching for the fabled Northwest Passage. As the spectre of winter looms, will Liam survive the treachery, harsh landscape, and continuing skirmishes with the Sioux so he can return to Deedeens and salvage their relationship.
Download or read book Song of the Blue Jay written by Brian Baynton and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-01-25 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Song of The Blue Jay is book two in the Liam Hicks story following closely on where the the first book, 'The Heron's Song, finishes. It is the spring/summer of 1764, one year removed from Pontiac's siege of Fort Detroit. Liam has returned to Detroit to resume his role as a scout for the English Army, but first makes plans to go to Aamjiwnaang along the shores of the beautiful St. Clair River he loves, to search for Ashagi's sister Deedeens (Blue Jay). Liam must determine if Deedeens still believes in the power of Ashagi's dream in which it was foretold she and Liam would be together forever. Liam made a solemn vow to his Heron brother Ashagi, as he lay dying, that he would seek out Deedeens and make his (Ashagi's) dream a reality. Tensions between the English, French and Native peoples of the area remain high one year removed from Pontiac's attack on Fort Detroit. With his friend Ashagi no longer around to help him navigate through these difficulties, Liam must find a way to make contact with Deedeens without sacrificing his life. The appearance of the hated Frenchmen Armand Ouellette and Guy Allard serve to make his task far more difficult than he could have imagined. Like Liam's first adventure, Song of the Blue Jay is set in the wilderness of Aamjiwnaang, on the banks of the St. Clair River, but once again has him travelling throughout the region, including his first trip up the river the French call La Tranche to the site of what is present day Chatham, Ontario. Also, like the The Heron's Song, Song of the Blue Jay examines underlying themes of racism, man versus woman, love, life and death, and the need to live the best life you can while you still have it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liam Hicks has arrived in Detroit, looking to catch on with the British army as an independent scout. It is the spring of 1763 and Pontiac is in the early stages of putting together his Indian confederacy. Liam's scouting work with the British army in the recent war against the French, has resulted in a recommendation from Sir William Johnson to the English Commander at Fort Detroit, Major Gladwin.Liam's unusual upbringing has exposed him to the best and worst of the three cultures--English, French and Native--who continue to fight for their piece of North America. The relationships he has developed with people from these cultures has caused him to take what he believes are the best parts of each and incorporate them into his daily life. As he begins his scouting duties at Detroit, some of his beliefs are challenged, and as Pontiac's War begins to spread, he is made to reflect on life and death, right and wrong, like he has never done before.
