As a friend from mississippi said, you have a lot of pastors a lot of bloody bastards from your state. [laughter] james one question i get about my book the real custer is why is that the title. What makes your book the real custer . The easiest way to answer that question is to say that is what the publisher wanted. That is the title. I think it is better to view it not as a conclusion, like this is the real custer, but more like a question. Who was the real custer . What we know about this guy. Little bighorn is so pervasive when we talk about George Custer, the whole man is the mistakes he made on that day. That is not the case. Yet a whole life and a whole character and he was a whole person. The book is about trying to get to the root of that question. If we can strip away all the things that have been written since then, all of the history, Everything Else and just talk about the man himself. That is what it is supposed to be about. Bighorn, the famous anheuserbusch advertisement
Incredibly charming. I think that a lot of the men couldnt help but have feelings for her. She was a gifted artist. She could write. She was good at writing. She showed her salts being able to be on the bill of the planes with all of these other shoulders and so they crooke opted accustomed to her and captain weir especially, i think, was very struck by her. I dont believe there was anything physical that ever went on between the two of them, but it wasnt beyond elizabeth to create in a georges mind that there was more that was happening. She liked george being a little jealous of her. A lot of the individuals who served with george and came up through the ranks with george were very upset that he achieved a higher rank than they did and that he was younger. One of the men who was under george was the seventh calvary and he was very resentful of george and the fact that he was 23 years old, 24 years old and telling him what to do. He was not a fan of that and he and george always clash
They were more valued, then listened more, tried to understand what they wanted and needed, plus the fact that some of these women a surprise themselves and then to ice supposed by becoming brighter waiters and decisionmakers. Goldmining is no sure income and meanwhile the children are hungry, so these women would have a boarding houses or bake pies or took in a laundry and they were successful, much more successful that earning income than their husbands or a goldmining. I would like them to get a sense of sacramento is a rich history and what i have done is try to present it through the womens point of view, what they experienced, with a witness, so there is that aspect of it and also an appreciation of what these women were like. Each of the women in here led different kind of life and came from a different place. They had different goals. Of course, they had the same goals also that women today have and they want a safe place for their children to be raised. They wanted schools, ho
This is our twiceayear book fair where we have 60 dealers from all over the west coast to come to exhibit. We use sort of to differentiate ourselves from what might be like a book fair at a school, because if we just say book fair, people dont necessarily what it is. But what we sell here isnt necessarily old, a better definition might be old and collectible but there are many relatively modern books here for sale. Some of the specialties that dealers have, Childrens Books are very popular, cook books, cowboys, indians, gold mine, world travel, specially china and japan but all over world travels, anything with maps, say like captain cook. Anything done by him is very popular. It depends really on the dealer. Were all individual businesses so we all represent what we like or what we think is interesting or valuable. This is a fun, small row book fair to do. The camaraderie of getting to see old friends out a semi regular basis. Being a bookseller, we are all recluses back home and this
From you guys who are, you know, in it. What you think would make the biggest difference. What you think would be most helpful. Since you asked it, why dont you i feel it is very taboo to speak about it in the native american communities, especially the older adults might think that it is. But i think the youth are really ready to speak about it. I feel there should be a little bit more support in the school system. Some of the schools ive actually got to work with on the reservation, they dont really have afterschool programs. They are like really strict on education, but there is really nothing that can connect you to your culture after school or keep to your traditions after school. I feel some of these are very important to youth. And there might be some kind of cultural identity or identity loss. Some of them might be confused and feel like theres no help. So the only situation the only like logical explanation they might think is maybe suicide. And for me i want to, i guess, prev
