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⬇️
pickThis 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.
One of my favorite photography collections... Edward S. Curtis.

pickI 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. ⬇️
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
pickGreat question and answer book about North American Indians!
pickA lot of things in here that I never learned in school.
March picks!
My book of choice is “The Captured“ (tagged).
I really want to get into the SPN book, but I've heard it'll make you cry-no bueno right now!
I'm already two Kindle books behind on #ReadYourKindle so let's wait on that.
Can't wait to dive into a Western non-fiction!
