Description
This book takes an unusual
slant on life, both from a socioeconomic and cultural standpoint. The
underlying sense of humor leans towards Native American and the working class,
you know the people that really built America and every other country on this
planet. This being said, the reader will find a connection to the author and
this book. The book takes the reader on a journey of discovery that opens that
primal dormant eye of the hunter in all of us. The author was raised in a
culture that is rich in oral history. Stories told around tables and campfires
a culture that believes in signs and visions both are depicted in this
offering. The author said that the family stories were wrote just like they
happen only some of the names were changed. There are strong intelligent female
characters through-out this book. The only character created was one to help
explain a dream or vision depending on ones belief system. A vision that the
author had while in the mountains. This book asks the reader to question
everything around us, some questions are even quantum based. There is a freckle
here and a wart there but overall this book is well worth the read. You will
laugh and cry and your spirit will fly.
Beneath Archers Tree has been
read by some of the smartest people in this country, some worked for NASA, some
were professors, one, is one of the author's hero's. This hero is Russell Means
the Indian activist and actor and author of, "Where White Men Fear To Tread." A
book every American should take a moment and read. Mr. Means read a chapter
from Beneath Archers Tree, the chapter was Stain Glass Sky, he sent a note
saying how much he liked it.
