Unconquerable
Author: John M. Oskison
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 1496232127
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
Unconquerable is John Milton Oskison's biography of John Ross, written in the 1930s but unpublished until now. John Ross was principal chief of the Cherokees from 1828 to his death in 1866. Through the story of John Ross, Oskison also tells the story of the Cherokee Nation through some of its most dramatic events in the nineteenth century: the nation's difficult struggle against Georgia, its forced removal on the Trail of Tears, its internal factionalism, the Civil War, and the reconstruction of the nation in Indian Territory west of the Mississippi. Ross remains one of the most celebrated Cherokee heroes: his story is an integral part not only of Cherokee history but also of the history of Indian Territory and of the United States. With a critical introduction by noted Oskison scholar Lionel Larré, Unconquerable sheds light on the critical work of an author who deserves more attention from both the public and scholars of Native American studies.

The small force of would-be kidnappers, led by Maggie Mushu, now flee, certain they will be tortured and killed if they report their failure to their queen, Nesh-nesh, and their spacecraft low on fuel. They seek refuge on the avaricious planet Dawd, unaware that an invisible tracker was placed on their ship and a group of heroes led by Princess Silk of the peaceful, God-worshipping Dronewatoners of Planet Star now pursues them. Meanwhile, Nesh-nesh mobilizes her troops across the stars to find Maggie Mushu and prepare for an assault against Planet Star. Queen Star and her military leader, Captain Ode, do their best to raise soldiers out of the pacifistic Dronewatoners of Planet Star, hoping to prepare an army in time for a potential war with the Black-Fires. As interplanetary plots and clashing motivations unfold across space, one question remains: Is conflict inevitable? Or can the people of Planet Star show the Black-Fires the glory of God before it is too late? The sequel to The Unconquerable Dust, The Unconquerable Star is a thrilling tale of good against evil and the power of God and Christian values set against an imaginative sci-fi backdrop.
