During the author's childhood she listened to the many stories she overheard her grandmother, Leta Oesch, and her great-grandmother telling about life in Canada. After her own daughter was born she was determined to preserve this family lore in a book about her grandmother's life. Blackberry Winter is the story of Leta Oesch, a young girl growing up in northern Saskatchewan, Canada. In 1903, Leta's parents traveled in covered wagons from Nebraska to Canada to homestead in the Northwest Territories. It was a harsh, unforgiving land where only the strongest could survive -- a land where the temperature could range from 110 degrees in summer to 60 degrees below zero in winter. Born in a log cabin during a blizzard, Leta grew up on the farm in northern Canada where time seemed to stand still. Work on the homestead was hard and never-ending. She helped her father clear the land and plant the crops, as well as breaking wild ponies and oxen. She learned the many ways to preserve food, how to keep the farm animals' drinking water from freezing solid, how to keep the chickens from freezing to death in the coop, how to keep their feet from freezing to the roost, and much, much more. At nineteen, she fell in love and married Dan Keogh, a U.S. citizen with wanderlust, and her life changed quickly and drastically. The tragedies and triumphs that take her from Canada to Southern California, through the Great Depression and World War II, are chronicled here. Leta's journey, written in a charming narrative style, touches on five generations, and includes photographs of the homestead, friends, and family.

"This propulsive and furious book is as fun to read as it is relentless and unsparing. Deranged and faltering America, Jonathan Dee has your number." --Joshua Ferris, author of The Dinner PartyIn Jonathan Dee's elegant and explosive new novel, Sugar Street, an unnamed male narrator has hit the road. Rid of any possible identifiers, his possessions amount to $168,548 in cash stashed in an envelope under his car seat. Vigilantly avoiding security cameras, he drives until he hits a city where his past is unlikely to track him down, and finds a room to rent from a less-than-stable landlady whose need for money outweighs her desire to ask questions. He seems to have escaped his former self. But can he?In a story that moves with swift dark humor and insight, Dee takes us through his narrator's attempt to disavow his former life of privilege and enter a blameless new existence. Having opted out of his material possessions and human connections, the pillars of his new self - simplicity, kindness, above all invisibility - grow shakier as he butts up against the daily lives of his neighbors in their politically divided working-class city. With the suspense of a crime thriller and the grace of our best literary fiction, Dee unspools the details of our unlikely hero's former life and his developing new one in a drumbeat roll up to a shocking final act.Dee has been compared by the Wall Street Journal to authors such as Jonathan Franzen and Jennifer Egan for his expansive, contemporary, social novels; Sugar Street is a leaner, more personal, but still uncannily timely look at the volatile America of today. A risky, engrossing and surprisingly visceral story about a white man trying to escape his own troubling footprint and start his life over.

"An important contribution to the history of women and families in the West and ...to the larger history of women in America and to the history of immigration". (Elliott West, "Growing Up in America in the Twentieth Century: A History and Reference Guide"). "A compelling portrait of the changing informal networks that women of many ethnicities and different class backgrounds used in town and on the range". (Karen R. Merrill, Princeton University). Sweetwater County lies in southwestern Wyoming, and has stood as a significant symbolic geography for the "new Western Woman's" history. As the county in which Elinore Pruitt Stewart ("Letters of a Woman Homesteader", Nebraska 1990) said she proved up her homestead in 1913, it is a fitting locale for the study of western gender relations. "The Important Things of Life" examines women's work and family lives in Sweetwater County in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The 1880's discovery of coal caused a population boom, attracting immigrants from numerous ethnic groups. At the same time, liberalized homestead law drew sheep and cattle ranchers. Dee Garceau demonstrates how survival on the ranching and mining frontier heightened the value of group cooperation in ways that bred conservative attitudes toward gender. Augmented by reminiscences and oral histories, Garceau traces the adaptations that broadened women's work roles and increased their domestic authority. Hers is a compelling portrait of the American West as a laboratory of gender role change, in which migration, relocation, and new settlement underscored the development of new social identities. Dee Garceau is an assistant professor of history at Rhodes College in Memphis Tennessee.
The U.S. Army built Fort Phil Kearny in the foothills of Wyoming’s Bighorn Mountains in 1866 to protect travelers on the Bozeman Trail headed to Montana’s gold fields. The need for this protection arose because the Bozeman Trail cut through the heart of the last bountiful hunting grounds of the Lakotas, Northern Cheyennes, and Northern Arapahos. The incursion by gold seekers led to direct competition with the allied tribes for food and supplies, and a series of violent encounters culminated in the Fetterman Fight on December 21, 1866, in which the army suffered its worst defeat on the northern plains until Custer’s defeat at the Little Bighorn ten years later. The battle became a cause célèbre and was the subject of a congressional investigation. Based on army records and firsthand reports, Dee Brown’s Fort Phil Kearny: An American Saga was the first detailed account of the battle and the loss of Lieutenant Fetterman’s eighty men. Shannon D. Smith provides an introduction to this new edition.

Presents portraits of the outstanding women who helped settle the Western frontier
The Fetterman Massacre occurred on December 21, 1866, at Fort Phil Kearny, a small outpost in the foothills of the Big Horns. The second battle in American history from which came no survivors, it became a cause célèbre and was the subject of a congressional investigation.
Here is the fascinating and little-known story of the Galvanized Yankees, who stood watch over a nation that they had once sought to destroy. They were Confederate soldiers who were recruited from Union prison camps in the North to serve in the West. On the condition they would not be sent south to fight their former comrades, they exchanged gray for blue uniforms. From 1864 to 1866 six regiments of Galvanized Yankees fought Indians, escorted supply trains along the Oregon and Sante Fe trails, accompanied expeditions, guarded surveying parties for the Union Pacific Railroad, and manned lonely outposts on the frontier. Dee Brown, the author of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, tells what happened to a lost legion, unhonored and unsung.
