  • Pages : 360 pages

Download or read book The Only Good Indian written by Ralph E. Friar and published by Drama Publishers. This book was released on 1972 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Here is a book fired with the belief that Hollywood must be held publicly accountable for its complicity in the continual distortion and destruction of Native American cultures. Beginning in the sixteenth century with the white man's early descriptions, the authors show how a schizophrenic stereotype of the "Indian" as "both a bloodthirsty savage and a noble but simple child of the forest" has continued to dominate the popular art of this continent. It continues to intrigue Europeans who line up for Hollywood westerns just as they once flocked to Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. The authors expose the exploitative nature and hypocrisy of dime novels, plays, operas, popular songs, photographs, and paintings, all contributors to the notion that "the only good Indian... is a dead one." But their special outrage is reserved for Hollywood, whose golden age was plated in good part with box office receipts from movies glorifying cultural genocide"--Book jacket

Download or read book Throne of Grace written by Tom Clavin and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2024-05-07 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The explosive true saga of the legendary adventurer Jedediah Smith and the Mountain Men who explored the American frontier, written by New York Times bestselling authors of Blood and Treasure Bob Drury and Tom Clavin. It is the early 19th century, and the land recently purchased by President Thomas Jefferson stretches west for thousands of miles. Who inhabits this vast new garden of Eden? What strange beasts and natural formations can be found? Thus was the birth of Manifest Destiny and the resulting bloody battles with Indigenous tribes encountered by white explorers. Also in this volatile mix are the grizzled fur trappers and mountain men, waging war against the Native American tribes whose lands they traverse. This is the setting of Throne of Grace, and the guide to this epic narrative is arguably America’s greatest yet most unsung pathfinder, Jedediah Smith. His explorations into the forested frontiers on both sides of the Rocky Mountains and all the way to the West Coast would become the stuff of legend. Thanks to painstaking research and riveting writing, the story of the making of modern America is told through the eyes of both the ordinary and memorable men and women, settlers and Indigenous, who witnessed it. But it's Smith who drives the narrative with his trailblazing path through the unexplored terrain of the American West. Throne of Grace is a gripping yarn that drops the reader into the center of an underreported era and introduces one of the great explorers in American history.
