Pretty good book but I would have liked to see even more detail and any more conflicts they had with others in the military. Also wanted some more about the Navajo culture. Otherwise I'd recommend it if you are into WW2 history.

Starting a book about the Navajos who kept radio messages from the Japanese in WW2. They spoke in a version of Navajo which the enemy could not figure out. There were about 500 in the war.

ARE YOU DISTRACTED ENOUGH YET?

Today‘s #ranttime is about how this man has to have his fingers in every. Single. Pie. Just because he thinks he can. And to distract us.

I don‘t care what the Washington football team is called. If he wants to change the name again, how about the Epsteins? Or the Orangeskins?

This regime doesn‘t exactly have a great record when it comes to Native Americans or respecting the city of Washington either. News links⬇️

ncsufoxes I said to my husband (& I posted about the MLL files release) in a few weeks we may know all of our nations secrets. He‘s going to do everything he can to distract maga & use racism to draw them back on his side. 2mo
KadaGul Mango 🥭 Syndicate has a severe allergy to any goodness. It is as if they are trying their best to put us back in 1600 BC. In the future, when historians look 👀 back @ our times, are WE LOOKING 👀 HISTORY 📜 OR WATCHING SOME teenagers‘ YouTube channel?#MangoSyndicate #MangoMafia 2mo
Bette The old: “look over there” ploy…like people are dumb. 🤔🙄 2mo
Butterfinger This upsets me. It's just like him to do something racist, but I had to do research on the branding of indigenous people. The name originated from the king/government to pay for natives killed. The evidence was from the number of collected 'skins'. I am devastated that he is using this as an issue. I know the files are more important, though. 2mo
AnnCrystal Thank you @Butterfinger for researching and sharing that truth. They even had to use reduced powered rifles when hunting our young 😢.

First Coulter's comment that stated “we didn't kill enough Indians“ now Little t is threatening the NFL Commanders to return to the name Redskins...🤨🤬.

For those who don't know, words like, “redskin,“ “squaw,“ & “red apple“ are similar to Native Americans as the N word or Oreo cookie for African Americans.

AnnCrystal P.S. It is true...he's throwing things into chaos and giving distractions to keep us busy. (edited) 2mo

This is Everett‘s collection of short stories about the West. I didn‘t particularly love the book, and none of to the stories are a must read, but I was entertained throughout. My faves included The Day Comes, which had a suspenseful ending, and Wrong Lead about a horse trainer and riding instructor who mistakenly becomes enmeshed with one of his student‘s romantic lives. I think Everett‘s novels seem more impactful than his shorts.

I read James last year and am reading more of Everett‘s books this month for #authoramonth. If this book of stories doesn‘t prove the versatility of Everett than nothing will. The stories are set in cold cowboy country. A man tries to save a girl surrounded by rattlers, an old woman rides off to what seems like heaven, and a father and daughter go on a quarrelsome hike but they bond over an unfortunate event. A mystery box is, well, mysterious. ⬇️

Texreader I‘m not a big fan of short stories. It‘s a personal thing because I am unable to get into them and if I don‘t read a whole story in one sitting, I inevitably forget what I‘d previously read and I have to start over! (It didn‘t help I was reading another book of short stories.) But when it comes to darned good writing and you cannot get enough of Percival Everett, then I recommend reading these stories a little at a time. (edited) 4mo

I‘m still reading The Trees (so good) by this author but getting close to the end so I‘ve checked out two more of his books from Libby. I may like Trees better than James, which I read last year. What an author!! #authoramonth @Soubhiville

TheKidUpstairs Trees is my favourite of his (of the ones I've read). 5mo
perfectsinner I just grabbed James from my library 😀 and idk what Trees is about, but I love them! So the title caught my eye. Hopefully i like James as much as others seem to and maybe I'll check out his other stuff, too. Happy reading 🤓 5mo
AmyG I really enjoyed Erasure. 5mo
Readerann I want to read everything this man has written! (Only read the 3 mentioned here so far.) 5mo
Deblovestoread Trees is my favorite so far as well. 5mo
