Book Description
This is the life of a born storyteller. From his small-town family that always stayed close to home, Bob Gibbons would eventually travel the country on corporate jets with CEOs, follow cowboys on a cattle drive in Wyoming, and, in a small airplane, chase alligators in the swamps south of New Orleans. He's arranged stars on Hollywood Boulevard and attended private movie premieres. He's worked with Disney Imagineers on a new theme park; he's spent an evening talking with Bob Newhart, won a short story writing contest, and written a movie that played in film festivals across the world. From all his adventures, he's returned with stories to tell-and they're in here-stories of the life he's led and the fun he's had beginning with the times he spent growing up on Oriole Street.

Black Elk Speaks
Author: John G. Neihardt
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 0803283938
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 470
Book Description
Black Elk Speaks, the story of the Oglala Lakota visionary and healer Nicholas Black Elk (1863–1950) and his people during momentous twilight years of the nineteenth century, offers readers much more than a precious glimpse of a vanished time. Black Elk’s searing visions of the unity of humanity and Earth, conveyed by John G. Neihardt, have made this book a classic that crosses multiple genres. Whether appreciated as the poignant tale of a Lakota life, as a history of a Native nation, or as an enduring spiritual testament, Black Elk Speaks is unforgettable. Black Elk met the distinguished poet, writer, and critic John G. Neihardt in 1930 on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota and asked Neihardt to share his story with the world. Neihardt understood and conveyed Black Elk’s experiences in this powerful and inspirational message for all humankind. This complete edition features a new introduction by historian Philip J. Deloria and annotations of Black Elk’s story by renowned Lakota scholar Raymond J. DeMallie. Three essays by John G. Neihardt provide background on this landmark work along with pieces by Vine Deloria Jr., Raymond J. DeMallie, Alexis Petri, and Lori Utecht. Maps, original illustrations by Standing Bear, and a set of appendixes rounds out the edition.
