In 1862 the bloody drama of the Indian Massacre was enacted in the Minnesota Valley, and although many accounts of the massacre have been written, no pen has been able adequately to describe or portray the awful experience endured by the defenseless settlers during those dark days." These were the words of Minnesota newspaper editor on the sixty-fourth anniversary of the battle of Birch Coulie. Obscured by the cataclysm of the Civil War, the pathos of the Minnesota Indian massacre was not adequately recorded until now. But the full, authentic story is dramatized in these pages. Bernard Francis Ederer, reared on a farm within view of the Birch Coulie battlefield, he collected his data there, and with the skill of the experienced writer of Indian and pioneer tales, he has brought the saga of the brave pioneers of Minnesota out of obscurity and has placed it in its proper historical perspective.Relating exciting, suspenseful, history making events, Birch Coulie also tells the human story of the brave men and the loyal women who loved them. Written with compassion and knowledge in forceful narrative, Birch Coulie fills a gap in the literature of America's pioneer wars against the Indians
The stories of a roguish sailor in the Royal Navy braving the untamable seas, battling ruthless privateers, and getting on with the women whenever the ship has docked.
The naked lady was very beautiful and very dead. The police found that she had circled Mac's name in her phone book -- yet Mac couldn't remember her! What's a poor investigator to do -- but investigate? "Thomas B. Dewey is one of detective fiction's severely underrated writers!" -- Bill Pronzini "Mac has been called one of the most believable and humane PI's in crime fiction. He is reluctant to use either his gun or his fists, but will do so when the situation demands it, or in self-defense; he doesn't merely solve his clients' cases, but provides moral support and sympathy as well; and perhaps most notable of all, Mac feels, and is not afraid to show itópain, loss, sorrow, loneliness." --thrillingdetective.com
