A Fate Worse Than Death: Indian Captivities in the West 1830-1885
Gregory Michno, Susan Michno
Caxton Press, 2007
I'm not surprised...
I'm not surprised that A Fate Worse Than Death by Gregory and Susan Michno has fallen between the cracks in terms of being publicized. We live in such a "PC" world that any book that contradicts the "noble savage" theory, even if based on fact, is largely ignored. ...

The Complete Sourdough Cookbook
Don Holm
Caxton Press, 1972
Most Other Reviewers Seem To Be Missing The Point Of This Book
So what if this book has a starter recipe that calls for commercial yeast? So what if Don does a lot of Storytelling in the book? It seems to me this book was written with the home cooking enthusiast in mind, with recipes made for modern kitchens... the small amount of ...

Gregory Michno
Caxton Press, 2007
Exposing a "Lost War"
There is no better historian of the Indian Wars writing today than Gregory Michno, and in his latest book he more than confirms that judgment. His previous books, which include Lakota Noon and The Mystery of E Troop (available on amazon) - hands down two of the best ...

Art of Contrary Thinking
Humphrey Bancroft Neill
Caxton Press, 1997
One of the Best of Its Kind
Often, less experienced investors overlook the big picture topics such as macroeconmics and behavioral finance and focus on the investment book of the month which is invariably trash. This book was originally written many decades ago and the fact that it is still ...

Salvos Against the New Deal
Garet Garrett
Caxton Press, 2002
He who forgets the past . . . . .
Bruce Ramsey does an excellent job of resurrecting writings that were quite well known at the time, but have become obscure by virtue of the New Deal's political conquest over the Constitution and all of America. What we now accept blindly from our "leaders" was once ...

Sessions S. Wheeler

Nevada's Balck Rock Desert
