1.	[no image]	A Thousand Mile Walk to the Gulf (Nature Library, Penguin) from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $13.00 Customer Review: I am currently writing a novel set in Cedar Key. In my research, I discovered that John Muir had walked there (recorded in this book) and that he had become ill there. I read that his words about Cedar Key were revealing of the era and the place, so I purchased it. It was exactly what I was... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		Geronimo: His Own Story: The Autobiography of a Great Patriot Warrior from Plume Price: $8.46 Customer Review: As far as class textbooks go, this one is okay. It's not especially gripping, but it does give the reader an oft-overlooked view of the Native American's role in American history through the eyes of Geronimo.

4.	[no image]	Indian Boyhood from Fawcett Publications Price: $10.00 Customer Review: This is a most excellent book because it is "AUTHENTIC" and not one that speaks of prejudice and the horrors of the Native American experience; instead, it allows you to catch a glimpse of what is now lost, a world of beauty and wonder. I highly recommend it to anyone: young or old; red, white,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.		1929 from Counterpoint Press Price: $0.98 Customer Review: '1929' manages to merge what we do know about Bix Beiderbecke with an illuminating and well-written novel that's true to the era it recreates. I am a 'Bixophile' myself, and had already read everything I could find about him, collect his recordings passionately and even follow the annual Davenport... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.	[no image]	When the Boys Came Back: Baseball and 1946 from Henry Holt & Co Price: $21.41 Customer Review: Although Mr. Turner can become excessively involved in the day-to-day minutiae of the 1946 baseball season, he does a most credible and entertaining job of not only describing what the national pasttime was like a half-century ago, he fully develops three central themes essential to an understanding... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

Now,I re-read the book every year or so, and understand more about life,human spirit, and the urge to create with every reading. It is a masterful piece of heart-breaking reality.

10.	[no image]	I Have Spoken: American History through the Voices of the Indians from Pocket Price: $28.95 Customer Review: This is one of those books that you find laying somewhere burried in the back of the library perhaps covered in dust that has been long forgotten! Nevertheless, this is a little gem of a read! The main reason why I liked it so much was because of the eloquent creative and heartfelt ways in which the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
