Summary

Fanny Kelly's 'My Captivity Among the Sioux Indians' is a gripping firsthand account of her abduction by Sioux Indians during the Plains Indian Wars. Written in a vivid and detailed style, Kelly recounts her harrowing experiences, providing a valuable insight into the cultural clash and violence of the era. The book is a poignant reflection on resilience, survival, and the complexity of human nature in times of adversity. Kelly's narrative is both a historical document and a literary masterpiece, with its descriptive language and emotional depth capturing the reader's imagination. The book is a valuable addition to the canon of captivity narratives, shedding light on Native American history and the impact of colonization on indigenous peoples. Fanny Kelly's personal experience as a captive of the Sioux Indians inspired her to write this compelling memoir. Her unique perspective as a white woman living among Native Americans adds depth and nuance to her storytelling. Kelly's courage and strength in the face of unimaginable challenges make her a remarkable figure in American history, and her memoir serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. I highly recommend 'My Captivity Among the Sioux Indians' to readers interested in Native American history, captivity narratives, and personal accounts of survival. Fanny Kelly's powerful and moving story offers a valuable glimpse into a dark chapter of American history, shedding light on the complexities of cross-cultural interactions and the enduring impact of frontier conflicts.

    A step-by-step guide to overcoming childhood abuse—while making sure those responsible don’t get away with it.   Child abuse is a horrific crime against the innocent. Its consequences are far-ranging and long-lasting. It can be difficult to get past. And one of the hardest things to do is forgive the offenders.   Every spiritual teacher agrees that forgiveness isn’t just beneficial, it’s essential. But few explain exactly how to go about it. Reverend Wild does. She is a survivor of childhood abuse herself, and she understands the realities of this kind of trauma first-hand.   You may have done a lot of soul-searching and years of therapy, or spent hours in prayer, yet you’re still haunted by the echoes of abuse. Or you may just be starting to face what happened. No matter what stage you are at, The Art of Forgiveness will help you make peace with the past and take ownership of your own happiness.

    An account by the only British historian to have been granted open access to the Argentines who planned and fought the Falklands War.   Avoiding involvement in the issue of sovereignty and concentrating entirely upon the military story, this history is a unique and balanced look at the 1982 war for the islands that the UK called the Falklands and Argentina called the Malvinas, a ten-week conflict that killed nearly a thousand people.   Among the men the author met were the captain of the ship that took the scrap-metal merchants to South Georgia; the admiral in charge of planning the Falklands invasion; the marine commander and other members of the invasion force; two brigadier-generals, five unit commanders, and many other men of the large army force sent to occupy and defend the islands; the officer in charge of the Argentine garrison at Goose Green; and, finally, the brigadier-general responsible for the defense of Port Stanley and soldiers of all ranks who fought the final battles.
