As with everyone, we all go down the path of life. Sometimes that path becomes rough and dangerous, and sometimes the path is just the opposite. So it is with James York. Set in the 1800s this story is a novel based on reality about a person who was forced to leave his loved ones at an early age. He was constantly attacked by hostile natives and raised by the Shoshone who lived near the Snake River. James York becomes a great Shoshone warrior and mountain man feared by his enemies, while being honored by friends. He stepped out of the white mans world and entered an Native American world, almost totally purging all that was white in him. He did this only to be forced back in the white world again, and in doing so, there is a battle within him between the red man and white mans world. With all the pain he must go through in his life, he seems to be able to cope and adapt. As his spirit guide said to him, You will live for a long time and have many children. Also there will be some sadness and some happiness. You will be feared by some, as well as admired by others, and you will have great wealth. His spirit guide was correct. He did live long and had the wealth of many descendants, as well as fortune, and his stature was known in America and Britain.
Giới thiệu về tác giả
I was born in March 23, 1949 and was always interested in Native Americans since an early age. From a very young age I would love to roam the mountains and wilderness areas near my home. My cousin got me interested with the use of the bow and rifle which I enjoyed. In high school, I was practically voted student who wouldn’t amount to much. After high school I joined the Army and was in the 101st Airborne and what was to be more enjoyable to me a unit called Psyops ( Psychological Operations special operations) After my time in the Army I went to Ohlone College (Ohlone is a name of a Native Americans tribe in California) and the University of California where I studied Native Americans people amongst other studies and found out quickly that how Hollywood portrayed Native Americans is a lot different than what was in reality. After college, I got married and raised four boys and as the years past I became addicted to reading books which led to writing books.
