Pocahontas and Sacagawea: Interwoven Legacies in American History
Pocahontas and Sacagawea: Interwoven Legacies in American History

"This lively and informative study looks at key moments in American history from a very fresh angle." Joyce Appleby, Professor Emerita of History, University of California, Los Angeles.

Post this

(PRWEB) January 14, 2015 -- In her new book, Pocahontas and Sacagawea - Interwoven Legacies in American History, author Cyndi Spindell Berck weaves the stories of two Native American heroines with those of their friends, kin, and contemporaries, tracing a slice of American migration from the first permanent English settlement in Jamestown, Virginia, across the Appalachian Mountains, through the land of the Cherokees, to St. Louis, up the Missouri River, and finally to the Pacific. We meet John Smith, Daniel Boone, and William Clark on this journey. We also meet famous mountain man James Beckwourth, who was a friend of Sacagawea’s son, and a Northern Paiute woman named Sarah Winnemucca, whose family gave its name to a town in Nevada.

In the forthcoming English translation of Comments on the North American Travels of Le Rochefoucauld-Liancourt 1794-1798 Monsieur Daniel Vaugelade comments on the major themes in the duke’s 1800 page journal. Among the items M. Vaugelade discusses are Le Rochefoucauld’s descriptions of America’s natural wonders, the plight of Indians and slaves, and the irrepressible passion of Americans for money and speculation. Le Rochefoucauld was from a family that tied closely to the reform movement that preceded the revolution in France. His interest in agricultural and economic reform distinguish his observations of other French travelers of that time. A democratic gentleman and philanthropist, Le Rochefoucauld returned to France when The Terror ended and became a leader in France's post-revolutionary social reconstruction.

In his forthcoming book, George Washington's Mulatto Man - Who was Billy Lee?James Thompson has assembled a comprehensive body of reference material to substantiate his theory about "my mulatto man Billy." He develops through three phases of Washington’s life with his mulatto man. Interpreting the written record in the context of frequently tumultuous events, Thompson shows that the relationship between the two men blossomed then cooled. The issues involved, Thompson explains, were bigger than both of these remarkable men and continue to haunt us today. The most fascinating aspect of the author’s detailed analysis may be his detective work in identifying what Washington’s mulatto man looked like. This astonishing revelation provides the ultimate proof of Thompson’s astonishing theory.

Tom Crocker's espionage thriller, The Hour of the Mistress is a fiction built around the assassin of a man the author knew. Mr. Crocker sets it in his own backyard - Lisbon, Portugal in the pivotal year of 1980. Portugal has just emerged from 50 years of dictatorship into a new and unstable democracy. The United States is struggling to reverse a string of military and foreign policy defeats. Its impotence is highlighted in a hostage crisis at the American Embassy in Iran, which it has dragged on for nearly a year. The political situation at home is about to become slippery. As the presidential campaigns of President Carter and Ronald Reagan are beginning, Iran and Iraq are preparing to go to war. In the crisp, incisive style that is his trademark, Mr. Crocker follows a young Foreign Service Officer Cosmo through a labyrinth in which bad men and beautiful women connive to trade firepower for political power.
