The Real Rosebud
Author: Marjorie Weinberg
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 9780803248083
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
Her great-grandfather was a famed Lakota warrior, her father a buffalo hunter, and Rosebud Yellow Robe hosted a CBS radio show in New York City. From buffalo hunting to the hub of twentieth-century urban life, this book chronicles the momentous changes in the life of a prominent Plains Indian family over three generations. At the center of the story is Rosebud (1907?92), whose personal recollections, family memoirs, letters, and stories form the basis of this book. Rosebud?s father, Chauncey Yellow Robe, was the son of a Lakota chief and had a traditional childhood until he was sent to the Carlisle Indian School, where he became an advocate for Indian education and citizenship. He was instrumental in planning the 1927 ceremony that brought his daughter into national prominence?an induction of Calvin Coolidge into the Lakota tribe, capped by Rosebud placing a feathered war bonnet on the president?s head. Marjorie Weinberg follows the young woman from Rapid City, South Dakota, to New York City, where she became a noted lecturer and teller of Indian tales (and where her broadcasting career brought her name to the attention of Orson Welles, who may indeed have used her name for his famous sled in Citizen Kane). Reflecting a lifelong interest and a friendship that provided Weinberg access to family archives and a rich reservoir of family oral tradition, The Real Rosebud offers an intimate picture of a century and a half of a remarkable Lakota family.

Pages : 235
Book Description
Four smart young women looking for love navigate the smooth-talking players of New Jersey’s infamous Brick City in this gritty urban series debut. Stunning, sweet, and pampered as a princess, Sasha is a hood’s treasure. So why did the love of her life suddenly cut her loose? And if she knew the answer, would she be strong enough to stay away?

Originally from LA, Neli’s got a Valley Girl drawl and a deceptively innocent beauty. There’s one East Coast dude she's got more than her eye on—and who cares if he belongs to someone else?

Over one hot summer, these girlfriends rely on each other to get through—but when secrets and betrayals are exposed, can they survive the truth? “Thicker Than Water is an urban chick flick waiting to happen.

Arctic Dreams
Author: Barry Lopez
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1668080028
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
Winner of the National Book Award This bestselling, groundbreaking exploration of the Far North is a classic of natural history, anthropology, and travel writing. The Arctic is a perilous place. Only a few species of wild animals can survive its harsh climate. In this modern classic, Barry Lopez explores the many-faceted wonders of the Far North: its strangely stunted forests, its mesmerizing aurora borealis, its frozen seas. Musk oxen, polar bears, narwhal, and other exotic beasts of the region come alive through Lopez’s passionate and nuanced observations. And, as he examines the history and culture of its indigenous communities, along with parallel narratives of intrepid, often underprepared and subsequently doomed polar explorers, Lopez drives to the heart of why the austere and formidable Arctic is also a constant source of breathtaking beauty, mystery, and wonder. Written in prose as pure as the land it describes, Arctic Dreams is a timeless mediation on the ability of the landscape to shape our dreams and to haunt our imaginations.
