Book Description
For this criminal clan, revenge is a family affair… Out a-bounty-hunting, Slocum’s just passing through the God-forsaken town of Breakneck. But when his quick thinking saves a rancher’s life from one of the notorious Beamer brothers, the gunslinger is hired on as the man’s bodyguard. Easy enough work, Slocum reckons. Sitting fat all day, meals paid for, saying howdy-do to the lovely fillies… But when Slocum kills Billy and Ike Beamer to save his own hide, the remaining brothers show up to give him what-for. And there’s something that Slocum doesn’t know: the Beamer brothers always fight dirty…

Book Description
Slocum’s on the run from the law…and gunning for revenge! Slocum knows it’s a terrible plan, but Conchita was more than persuasive. Against his better judgment, he agrees to get himself sent to San Quentin under false pretenses, find her brother José, and help him escape. It’s more trouble than any man should volunteer for…and it’s only the beginning. After the breakout, Conchita and José seem closer than brother and sister ought to be—and they leave Slocum framed for yet another crime he did not commit. With both the law and a posse from San Quentin on his back, he goes after the underhanded pair—and there’s no escape from Slocum!

Book Description
This richly detailed, well-documented history describes the life of the Squaxin spiritual leader John Slocum and the growth in the Pacific Northwest of his Indian Shaker Church (not to be confused with eastern Shakerism. Students of Native American religion and Christianity will find this a moving story both of assimilation and of the curing that is the Shaker Church’s reason for being. The Indian Shaker movement began in 1882 when the charismatic but dissolute Slocum had a vision after a near-death experience. Later his church was led by his wide, Mary Thompson, and early-day leaders such as Mud Bay Louis and Mud Bay Sam. Today church members continue to combine Native American styles of singing, body movement, and verbal declarations with bell ringing, songs, burning candles, and shaking in a unique curing tradition that is honored outside the church particularly for its success in teaching against the use of alcohol. Intense community support, for both leader and patient, is a focal point in the lives of Shaker Church members. Their tradition has endured despite the important differences in members’ tribal backgrounds and religious viewpoints chronicled in this up-to-date account by veteran scholars Robert H. Ruby and John A. Brown, the first outsiders to have access to church records.

Book Description
The Secrets of North Brother Island is about the unsolved disaster in 1904 of the burning and sinking of the pleasure boat General Slocum, the worst nonmilitary disaster in American history before September 11, 2001. It is often called the forgotten disaster because of the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 and the outbreak of World War I in 1914. However, nearly 1100 perished on the Slocum, half of them children, in what was to have been a church picnic. The captain ran it aground on North Brother Island despite the fact that the fi re broke out beside Rikers Island, equipped with a full fi re-fi ghting brigade. Crane relates it to the Civil War forty years earlier and revenge against General Slocum by one man he caused to be imprisoned in Andersonville. These pyromaniacs are also related to the record-setting fi res between 1900 and 1911, such as The Triangle Shirtwaist fi re.
