French Roots: Adventures along the New Madrid Fault Line, 1811-1812
Autor Norris Normanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 aug 2017 – vârsta ani
"Norris Norman has picked a very difficult subject for his book and has done wonders with it. There is probably no more obscure part of the history of Arkansas than the period in which this book is situated, namely, the second decade of the nineteenth century. Mr. Norman makes it come alive in a very convincing way. His main character, a French/Indian mixed-blood or metis, is carefully crafted and is ideally positioned to tell the tale of the New Madrid earthquake, the early White settlers of a newly-American Arkansas, and the daily lives of Indians and Europeans alike..." -- Hon. Morris S. Arnold, author of Unequal Laws Unto a Savage Race: European Legal Traditions in Arkansas 1686-1836

Recenzii
“The author not only has a fine grasp of his subject and its sources, but he is also quite obviously a master wordsman. In my experience, this combination puts him in a unique position to describe the practical world in which his characters operate. The descriptions of the Arkansas wild, and of the only real settlement at the time in what would become the state, are bound to fascinate and instruct.
“Norris Norman plainly loves his state and the people who have struggled here to make it what it is. This book is not just a labor of love, however it certainly is that: It is a revelation, and it will doubtless spur others to ponder and write about this most interesting time in Arkansas's history.”
