She was taken in by the Choctaw and treated as one of their own, even though she failed at the simplest of tasks. Eight years later, when two white men came into the village to claim her as their relative offering herds of cattle and horses in trade, she did what she thought was best for her Choctaw family. Bliss left her village in hopes she would find herself a better fit in the white world. Before the day was out, she learned the men were not who they said and had no intention of treating her like family. In the end, she was faced with an unforeseeable choice and an unwinnable battle.Two Feathers was a young Native learning the ways of the Choctaw. However, he was not like the other men in his village who lived off of the land, farming and raising livestock. He enjoyed spilling the blood of the invaders and was absent, fighting, more than he was home. Still, he had fallen for the little white girl who couldn't farm, couldn't make baskets, and was generally a failure at Native life.Returning from a battle, he discovered the white men had taken Bliss, the woman with whom he expected to share his life. Her unexpected departure changed everything. Gone were his desires to do anything other than locate the girl; she consumed his every thought and he vowed to bring her back. Learning that the men had nefarious intentions, only reinforced his resolve.Will he find her before she makes the dreadful decision she knows must be made?Will she be able to face her adopted, Native family after all that has happened?Will Two Feathers' love be enough to vanquish the horrors she endured at the hands of her own people?

RG3
Author: Dave Sheinin
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101623977
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
He’s been called many things—Heisman Trophy winner, MVP, the savior of the Washington Redskins—but to his millions of fans, Robert Griffin III is known simply as RG3. Robert Griffin III was a preternaturally gifted athlete from a young age, but in those early days he played nearly every sport except football. He seemed pointed toward stardom, but would it be in basketball or maybe in track, where he qualified for the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials as a hurdler? As for playing football, Griffin first had to overcome his mother’s objections to the violence and danger by making a “Pinkie Promise” with her that no one would catch him. Eventually, he began to realize that all of his remarkable talents—unrivaled speed, pinpoint accuracy, exceptional intelligence, single-minded drive—combined into a potent force that few quarterbacks could rival. What followed seemed almost destined: a football scholarship to Baylor University, three exceptional seasons capped by winning the Heisman Trophy, and the 2012 draft—where Griffin, as the second overall pick, became the franchise quarterback for one of the oldest and most storied football teams in the country. In RG3: The Promise, award-winning Washington Post reporter Dave Sheinin provides an in-depth, behind-the-scenes account of Griffin’s phenomenal rookie year—and offers a unique and intimate look inside the transformation one of the NFL’s brightest young stars.

Book Description
The United States battled the Vietnam War to contain the spread of Communism in Southeast Asia, explicitly from North Vietnam to South Vietnam. From the mid-1960s to 1973, the U.S. heightened its inclusion, first giving the South Vietnam system monetary guide and military direction to ultimately sending 2.7 million soldiers to battle Viet Cong guerrilla powers and the infringing Communist North Vietnamese Army. The Vietnamese were battling a nationwide conflict, however, the North considered the conflict the "Obstruction War Against America" or "the American War." "One man...? What is one man going to have the option to do...?" General Letcher was suspicious that one man could effectively prevent the provisions from descending the path and into the South. He needed to send the entire Division north to clear out the NVA, however, the underwear-wearing legislators in Washington could never oblige that. "He's not only a man, or besides not simply a Marine. He's a Blackfeet fighter.

Warriors
Author: Lincoln C. Yamashita
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1426957017
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 119
Book Description
Warriors: Pu` Ali Koa explores the history of how the Hawaiians established their culture and lifestyle while also chronicling historical events of the twentieth century. While researching the history of Hawaii, author Lincoln Yamashita realized that the role of the warrior in Hawaiian history had not been properly documented. To provide a complete and accurate portrait of the warrior, he determined that it was essential to document the role of Warrior Spirit, the legacy of Hawaiian culture, and the history of the Hawaiian nation. Many of the stories of the Hawaiian warriors have been passed down from generation to generation through oral storytelling. Yamashita has gathered the historical stories of the great warriors into this single volume. Warriors: Pu` Ali Koa documents a history that is vital to the cultural fabric of the forty-ninth state. For example, the legacy of the Hawaii Army National Guard began with the first Polynesians who originated in Southeast Asia. The "Ancient Ones" traveled over 2,300 miles from their homeland northward to the islands of Hawai`i. There they established a culture and language that are unique to these islands. These early warriors, and those who followed them, have made Hawai`i what it is today: beautiful, exotic, and true to their native culture and homeland.
