Call of the Blood Arizona, southwestern United States, Spring 1886 By the spring of 1886, there are few "free" Apaches left. Too many spend their lives in the bleak reservations, where they are herded together, often with futile attempts to force them to live according to the rules of the "white man." But among them are still rebels: men, women, and children of this proud people who dare to defy the white eyes and their laws, fighting fiercely—and often desperately—for their freedom and independence. They are as free as the wind sweeping across the desert... and as deadly as a whirlwind...

In the early 1800s (1830s – 1860s) it has been estimated that as many as 300,000 men and women may have traveled from the eastern States to the unknown lands of the American west. Some were searching for a better life; some were argonauts, seeking adventure. Whatever the reason, it was not an easy journey. Thousands lost their lives along the trail. Eventually, however, the west was settled and those who survived had stories to tell. Bitter Honey is a fictional story, although some of the experiences in this book could have been a reality for many of those pioneers. The story begins in ...

Esta es la primera edición en español de esta obra, publicada originalmente en 1823, que sigue siendo un análisis intrigante de la búsqueda de respuestas sobre los misterios de las...

A morning of mist. A single foot on sand. On 12 October 1492, a navigator who thought he’d found Asia set a map tilted on its axis. Two worlds met without a common language. The encounter that began with curiosity—gifts, glances, traded food—unfolded into an exchange that remade ecosystems, empires, and memory. Nothing about that shoreline was tidy. This short, sharp history follows that day as an origin story and a warning. It moves from decks slick with salt to the quiet rooms of archives, from Taino canoes to Spanish logs, asking when discovery becomes dominion and how the first ...
