In the East, his people has lived on the land for thousands of years. Now it was a nation bitterly divided, and Nickjack had decided to leave it behind. But when his country's broken heart came chasing after him in the West, he found himself with enemies he didn't choose, forcing him to pick an old, oiled pistol, and aiming it at a stranger in self-defense. A reckoning has begun--as Nickajack faced a law that accused him of murder, and sealed his fate forever.
Nickajack is Robert J. Conley's classic novel of the Cherokeee nation, its tragic displacement, and the confluence of suffering, betrayal, politics and fate that led one man into a fight for survival--and his soul.

The author of Honor at Daybreak, praised as a richly authentic American voice (John Jakes), now writes a new saga that surpasses even his own classic frontier novels. The great Civil War has ended, but on the wild Staked Plains of Texas, another ancient struggle continues as white buffalo hunters slaughter herds of bison and the Commanche nation fights back with strength and guile.

Fourteen-year-old John Barron is asked, like his father and grandfather before him, to spend the summer taking care of their sheep in the haymeadow. Six thousand sheep. John will be alone, except for two horses, four dogs, and all those sheep.
John doesn't feel up to the task, but he hopes that if he can accomplish it, he will finally please his father. But John finds that the adage "things just happen to sheep" is true when the river floods, coyotes attack, and one dog's feet get cut. Through it all he must rely on his own resourcefulness, ingenuity, and talents to survive this summer in the haymeadow.

One of the great historians of the American West, author of the highly acclaimed The Way to the Western Sea ( LJ 12/88) and the classic Bent's Fort (1954), here draws on his studies of the fur trade to recount the history of the Nez Perce. Following such formidable predecessors as Merrill D. Beal's exciting "I Will Fight No More Forever" (1963) and Alvin M. Josephy Jr.'s authoritative The Nez Perce Indians and the Opening of the Northwest (1965), Lavender meets the challenge of comparison in an excellent narrative history grounded on documentary and interpretive sources. He covers events from the tribe's generous welcome of Lewis and Clark in 1805 through their increasing alarm over hordes of permanent settlers to the tragic surrender of Chief Joseph to General Nelson Miles in 1877. Each chapter reads smoothly and makes an exciting sequel to its predecessor. Historians familiar with the controversy over Chief Joseph will find Lavender's contribution to the debate interesting. Highly recommended for general readers and specialists. History Book Club selection.

Illus. with photographs from the Dust Bowl era. This true story took place at the emergency farm-labor camp immortalized in Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath. Ostracized as "dumb Okies," the children of Dust Bowl migrant laborers went without school--until Superintendent Leo Hart and 50 Okie kids built their own school in a nearby field.

When John Stonecipher lay dying he longed for only one thing - to end his days where he'd had the greatest adventure of his life sixty years earlier. It was on that special mountain that John and Wally Bledsoe had their hideout, holding the cattle that Wally's spiteful, cheating half-brothers tried to keep from him. Maybe that's what started all the trouble. Or maybe not...
