Perhaps as in no other single document of its kind is the plight of the Indian written about with such candor and with such personal conviction as it is in these memoirs. From over seventy-five years of notes, Chief Red Fox, with the help of Cash Asher - journalist and former Executive Director of the American Indian Defense Association - has given us a remarkable record of the Red man's fight for survival, the loss of his rights and his identity. In doing so, he forces us to recognize what we have done and what we must now do to alter our course: The Indian people you put here weep for what has happened. They have a sturdy background of morality and discipline. Forgive those who tried to remake them in to the image of the White man, and let the wealth of their heritage be preserved as a vital force in the world, and not entombed in museums or consigned to oblivion.

The dust jacket is identical to the laminated pictorial boards and has a small chunk missing at the top of the spine area. From the dull thud of the first cannon shot at Ft. Sumter to the scratch of Lee's surrender pen at Appomattox, the Civil War affected Americans and our history forever. The great War tested the divided nation during a dramatic, four-year struggle that was filled with both grandeur and terrible carnage. Human will and courage were tested in battle after battle as modern firepower confronted human heroism. In this book, respected author and historian Jim Murfin tells the action-packed story of the Civil War in masterful narrative. The tactics, strategy, victories and defeats of the war come alive through the words of those who were there, from the explanations of the generals to the first-hand accounts of the foot soldiers. Each of the important battles, from the firing on Sumter in April 1861 to Lee's capitulation in 1865, is described in this book with clarity, detail and drama. The great figures of the war - Lincoln, Davis, Grant, Lee, Jackson, Sherman, and all the rest, speak across decades, and there are vivid descriptions from lesser-known eye-witnesses who on the firing lines and heard the roar of cannon and the crack of muskets. Pictures of the war by photographers and artists who covered the battles show people and places in their own time, and a beautiful 48-page color portfolio illustrates many of the battlefields as they are today preserved as hauntingly beautiful reminders of the conflict. The story of the Civil War includes grand strategy and small acts of supreme human valor, all of it told here in inspiring words and pictures. Clucas, Philip - Design (ilustrador).…
