Washington, D.C., U.S.A.: Counterpoint, 2001. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Near-new condition. Stated First Printing. NO remainder marks or price clippings. 470 pages. Tight spine, clean pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. A collection of new and selected essays by master craftsman Evan S. Connell. Evan Connell has long been attracted to the visionary and eccentric, to those people and events slightly outside the mainstream of human experience. His subjects are people of passion and purpose, events of legend and desire. He offers stories of the Anazasi, the "old ones" of the southwestern desert, of the grand explorers Marco Polo, Columbus, Magellan, and Ibn Batuta, of heretics, fanatics, scientists, cranks, and geniuses. There are tales of fabulous advances made in anthropology, archeology, astronomy, and linguistics. This is a book of great "celebrations of man's insatiable drive to probe unknown frontiers [that] read like superb novels," says Grover Sales of the San Francisco Chronicle. "[They] establish Connell as an important writer-poet-thinker with a truly original mind." The Aztec Treasure House comprises two previous collections, The White Lantern and A Long Desire, and two new essays never published in trade book form. The whole amounts to a dazzling monument to the career of one of America's finest writers.., Counterpoint, 2001, New York, New York, USA: Basic Books, 2001.

Moses Williams of the Ninth Cavalry Regiment, an ex-slave, is now a Buffalo Soldier, a horseback fighter in a white man's campaign to eradicate the Indian and occupy his ancient tribal lands. • Nana, Moses's nemesis, is an old Warm Springs Apache chief and a tactical genius who leads his tiny band of followers against mining camps and settlements, then vanishes like a wraith into the trackless hills separating new and old Mexico. • Sheela Jones is the beautiful young mulatto woman Moses has rescued from a frontier brothel and wants to marry. Her love for Moses leads her to take a desperate chance when he marches out for his final meeting with Nana. Faraway Blue is based on the real-life exploits of Moses Williams, a Medal of Honor-winning Black soldier, and on the last days of the great Nana, perhaps the finest tactician and fighting man produced by the Apache nation.

Faraway Blue is the story of Sergeant Moses Williams, a Medal of Honor-winning buffalo soldier. Williams is an ex-slave, a Civil War veteran and now a black horseback fighter in the white man's campaign to eradicate the Indian and occupy his ancient tribal lands. The Ninth Calvary has one assignment: hunting and killing Apaches in the Black Range -- the "faraway blue" mountains of southeastern New Mexico Territory. Williams' particular nemesis is Nana, the old Warm Springs Apache chief who leads his tiny band of followers in strike after strike on mining camps and settlements, then vanishes like a wraith into the trackless hills separating New and Old Mexico.In the maddening cat-and-mouse pursuit, Williams is able to keep his sanity only because of his love for a beautiful young mulatto woman he has rescued from a frontier brothel -- and her love for Moses leads her to take a desperate chance when he marches out for his final meeting with the enemy. contemporary,fiction,genre fiction,historical,historical fiction,literature and fiction,westerns Westerns, Doherty Associates, LLC, Tom<
