Ghost Peoples More Detail
Ghost Peoples By Cliff Woffenden
Paperback: $14.95
Prints in 3-5 business days
In 1956 the Canadian government declared the Arrow Lakes Indian Band extinct. There was only one problem – they were still alive. But the government was about to begin negotiations with the USA... More > for the Columbia River Treaty that would dam the Columbia and create a reservoir stretching from Castlegar in the south to Revelstoke in the north. This two hundred mile long lake would eventually wipe out all archaeological traces of a culture that had endured for over five thousand years. Ghost Peoples is the story of the Sinixt: their origins, their culture, their history and their present situation. This story is not one of blame but one that hopes to shine a light on a darkness that pervades our history so that it can be reconciled. Our story is not complete without the truth of our prehistory; our landscape is barren without its original inhabitants.< Less

Paperback: $10.00

Sally Tompkins was a very wealthy young woman who was a nurse that owned and ran her own private hospital in Richmond, Virginia during the American Civil War. The hospital had the highest survival... More > rate of any hospital north or south. This statistic was even more remarkable considering that the worst cases were sent to her. She was also commissioned as Captain in the Confederate Cavalry because, by law, all hospitals had to be under military rule to be able to receive medical supplies. She took her rank seriously. She was adored by the Confederate troops and received probably hundreds of marriage proposals, all of which she declined. It was said that “her strength of mind and character took the place of more frivolous charms.” Capt. Sally Tompkins demonstrated that women were capable of doing so many things that, in this time period, women were thought incapable of doing. As a hospital administrator, she challenged gender expectations and helped to expand the role of women in all management positions.< Less

More > that’s in the middle of a civil war. I didn’t have to wait long to be under fire and see death up close. The reader looking for action will find plenty of that…but I wanted to write about the people I loved and hated and the relationships between men from different parts of America. It’s a story of sex, drugs and rock and roll…though not necessarily in that order. You can’t tell a true story about Vietnam without addressing race relations and I hope I gave an accurate description of what I saw in those days. I also describe the hierarchy and their privileges. There are stories of highly decorated men; a Medal of Honor posthumously and a Distinguished Service Cross, that I personally wrote the recommendation for.< Less
