A day by day documention by Esther Belle Hanna, a new wife of 27 years old. She is a Godly woman and puts great detail into her pages. The diaries of other wagon trains are put in as well. Some ahead and some behind, giving multiple viewpoints of the travels. Some written by kids and teenagers and others by adults. The diaries are so vivid that you will feel as though you are in the adventure. Some dates have multilple diaries written of the exact same days. People always think of the past as just that, so how can a book bring a past event back?That was the goal of this work. To use their own words from over 170 years ago, that are written in the present tense, along with actual paintings, early photos and drawings, to bring their journey back to life on that wagon train: As if they are alive right now. So take a travel in time and see the Frontier the way it really is, for you are there now - in these pages - as it&8217s happening. BUT WHEN YOU HEAR&8220CIRCLE THE WAGONS THE INDIANS ARE COMING"WHAT WILL YOU DO?What are some of the global reviews saying about this new release: GOODREADS5 out of 5 stars.&11088&11088&11088&11088&11088December 4, 2023SUCH A DELIGHTFUL STORY, the children, teenagers and Esther Belle have the best outlooks on their daily travels through the wild frontier. Athough the wagon travel is rough they still take time to document the beauty of the views and country, describing the Indian tribes and even trading and buying from them, the good times, the weather and what a travel it was. OR IS I should say because the book has been written in a way that is in the present so that was amazing to me. American west history at its best in this work of art. I laughed and I was on the edge of my wagon seat at times LOL. The ending is powerful I wont give any spoilers away. I really loved it. I dont think i will ever forget itBARNES AND NOBEL5 out of 5 stars.&11088&11088&11088&11088&11088&183 16 days ago THE BOOK TOOK ME ON THE WAGON TRAIL. OMGI felt like i was there in 1852. The book is a first hand account of the woman named Esther Hanna. All the added photos and paintings from that time really brought to life what was being mentioned in the diary unbelievably well. The other diaries from adults and teenagers and even 10 and 11 year olds are mixed in with Esther&8217s and many are written on the same dates as hers. It was very emotional at times for me, i am just like that. It was very fun and happy with many struggles and then joyous at times. Some of the situations that the people were in seemed impossible to get out of. What a true life documentary. Not made up fiction. That isn&8217t even needed here. That woman went through all of this in real life and she wrote every single day of her journey. It should become a movie or something on the screen. When I was done reading I had some tears of happiness. I don&8217t know why. Maybe I felt her feelings. Amazing writing skills for all involved.BOOKS A MILLION5 out of 5 stars.&11088&11088&11088&11088&11088MY TOP BOOK PICK OF THE YEARSubmitted 6 days agoBy JulieFrom Elmhurst ILVerified ReviewerI heard a lot about this new release so I was really expecting something different. When I started reading, I was automatically pulled into the story mentally. The words from the diaries brought the wagon train and the Western frontier alive I give it my best book recommendation.

Loved it Loved the refreshing new style of this author. JulieBottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

He is recognized as one of Canadas finest literary treasures. Twice he has received Canadas most prestigious prize for fiction writing: The Governor-Generals Award (equivalent to the Pulitzer Prize for fiction). Now comes new recognition for Wiebes nonfiction writing. His recently released childhood memoir, Of This Earth: A Mennonite Boyhood in the Boreal Forest, has won the Charles Taylor Prize for Literary Nonfiction (considered to be the countrys most prestigious literary nonfiction prize). The book holds Rudys memoirs of growing up through age 12. His immigrant family cut a farm out of stony bushland in remote Saskatchewan. They hand-dug their well, climbed a ladder to their beds under the rafters, farmed with horses, and traveled by sleigh on the frontier. Stories and singing and food from their native Ukraine and Poland held them and filled their bodies and souls. Of This Earth is written with "spare and eloquent prose," say the jurors who chose the book for the Charles Taylor Prize. Wiebe "conveys the riches of a hardscrabble inheritance a love of words, reading and music, a sustaining yet unsentimental faith, and a bond with the natural world, all of which have provided a compass for his writing life." One of the Taylor-Prize jurors reflected, "Rudys book haunts you it stays with you."

When eight-year-old Irene is removed from her First Nations family to live in a residential school she is confused, frightened, and terribly homesick. She tries to remember who she is and where she came from, despite the efforts of the nuns who are in charge at the school and who tell her that she is not to use her own name but instead use the number they have assigned to her. When she goes home for summer holidays, Irenes parents decide never to send her and her brothers away again. But where will they hide? And what will happen when her parents disobey the law? Based on the life of co-author Jenny Kay Dupuis&8217 grandmother, I Am Not a Number is a hugely necessary book that brings a terrible part of Canada&8217s history to light in a way that children can learn from and relate to.

When they established Kayanerenk&243:wa, the Great Law of Peace, they not only resolved intractable conflicts, but also shaped a system of law and government that would maintain peace for generations to come. This law remains in place today in Haudenosaunee communities: an Indigenous legal system, distinctive, complex, and principled. It is not only a survivor, but a viable alternative to Euro-American systems of law. With its emphasis on lasting relationships, respect for the natural world, building consensus, and on making and maintaining peace, it stands in contrast to legal systems based on property, resource exploitation, and majority rule.Although Kayanerenk&243:wa has been studied by anthropologists, linguists, and historians, it has not been the subject of legal scholarship. There are few texts to which judges, lawyers, researchers, or academics may refer for any understanding of specific Indigenous legal systems. Following the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and a growing emphasis on reconciliation, Indigenous legal systems are increasingly relevant to the evolution of law and society. In Kayanerenk&243:wa: The Great Law of Peace Kayanesenh Paul Williams, counsel to Indigenous nations for forty years, with a law practice based in the Grand River Territory of the Six Nations, brings the sum of his experience and expertise to this analysis of Kayanerenk&243:wa as a living, principled legal system. In doing so, he puts a powerful tool in the hands of Indigenous and settler communities.

In Red Brethren, David J. Silverman considers the stories of these communities and argues that Indians in early America were racial thinkers in their own right and that indigenous people rallied together as Indians not only in the context of violent resistance but also in campaigns to adjust peacefully to white dominion. All too often, the Indians discovered that their many concessions to white demands earned them no relief. In the era of the American Revolution, the pressure of white settlements forced the Brothertowns and Stockbridges from New England to Oneida country in upstate New York. During the early nineteenth century, whites forced these Indians from Oneida country, too, until they finally wound up in Wisconsin. Tired of moving, in the 1830s and 1840s, the Brothertowns and Stockbridges became some of the first Indians to accept U.S. citizenship, which they called "becoming white," in the hope that this status would enable them to remain as Indians in Wisconsin. Even then, whites would not leave them alone.Red Brethren traces the evolution of Indian ideas about race under this relentless pressure. In the early seventeenth century, indigenous people did not conceive of themselves as Indian. They sharpened their sense of Indian identity as they realized that Christianity would not bridge their many differences with whites, and as they fought to keep blacks out of their communities. The stories of Brothertown and Stockbridge shed light on the dynamism of Indians own racial history and the place of Indians in the racial history of early America.
