Thoroughly researched and eloquently told by author and Spirit family descendant James Barnes, this resonant, non-fiction history showcases the amazing resiliency of a people who refuse to let suffering keep them from maintaining joy, love, and cultural identity. Follow the Spirit family from 1826-1910, through one of the darkest periods of cultural persecution in our nation's history, as they fight, grieve, and advocate for the Cherokee Nation's sovereignty in the face of steep opposition from the United States government. A multi-generational account of perseverance and hope, Barnes skillfully weaves his family's and Nation's history together to bring both alive. Providing both a broad historical canvas for understanding Cherokee history and an intimate view of family lives during the critical periods of removal, the Civil War, and Allotment, this book will resonate deeply with audiences of all backgrounds.

In 1905, on the Fort Sill Apache Reservation in Oklahoma, Geronimo agreed to tell his life story to Stephem Melvil Barrett, superintendant of education in Lawton Oklahoma. Geronimo said, "Write what I have spoken." During several sessions, he then told in detail the beginnings of the Apache, his own birth and family, his growing up as an Apache child, his wife, children, and the massacre of them and his mother by Mexicans, which led to a life-long revenge against anyone in Mexico. His story details the history of conflicts with white men, his capture and finally reservation life. This book, "Geronimo - His Words His Story His Life" lays out one of the best detailed episodes of the old Pioneer West, with accounts of many famous American Indians and their life dealing with encroachment on and loss of their hereditary lands.
