you and i have never met until 10 minutes ago, but i have to say i feel as if i know you after so many years of reading your terrific books. you ve given me and most of the people here tonight tremendous pleasure. as i think one critic from your book said being able to get lost in a wonderful story and come out days or weeks later feeling as if you ve learned something. so you do both things i appreciate what you do so much. to make something like an historical trilogy. that is tiny little pieces. i learned on the cbs and is issued to journalism. is that true? is close to the truth, yes. my first job was university reporter in the south with echo, which is my hometown newspaper. and it worked for the london evening news and it is true that my car broke down and they couldn t afford to get it fixed. i went to the bank and ask them i needed 200 pounds which was at a lot of money in those days. i has to think for a long and they said no. the colleague on the newspaper of cours
Hundreds of Native Americans were massacred in Nevada’s Bahsahwahbee Valley in the 1800s. Now, as three tribes push for the site to become a national monument, they see a chance to tell their own story.
Back in the 1800s, white attackers turned a lush high desert oasis in eastern Nevada into killing fields. They massacred hundreds of Native people there — a horrific history once retold in hushed tones behind closed doors. That was until tribal members reluctantly found themselves defending the valley’s historical significance in state hearings. In the 2000s, they shared their painful past with authorities weighing whether to divert substantial amounts of groundwater that feed the valley their relatives have long considered sacred. Now they want to tell their story on their own terms. A three-tribe coalition representing about 1,500 enrolled members is lobbying the federal government to designate nearly 40 square miles as a national monument.
