Summary
In this autobiography, Mary Crow Dog, a Lakota Sioux, tells of her youth, when her heritage was discouraged by her mother, and of her later education into Indian ways under the tutelage of Leonard Crow Dog, a Sioux medicine man. Active in the Indian civil rights movement, Mary Crow Dog was at the Wounded Knee incident, and her autobiography contains much about the traditional practices of her people.

Prison Writings

Diana Mosley
by Anne De Courcy
Diana Mosley is the riveting tell-all biography of one of the most intriguing, enigmatic and controversial women of the twentieth century, written with her exclusive cooperation and based upon hundreds of hours of taped interviews and unprecedented access to her private papers, letters and diaries. Lady Mosley's only stipulation was that the book not be published until after her death. Society darling Diana Mosley, born June 10, 1910, was by general consent the most beautiful and the cleverest of the six Mitford sisters. She was eighteen when she married Bryan Guinness, of the brewing dynasty, with whom she had two sons.After four years, she left him for the leader of the British Union of Fascists, Sir Oswald Mosley, an admirer of Mussolini and a notorious womanizer. It was a course of action that horrified her family and scandalized society. In 1933 Diana took her sister Unity to Germany, where both met the new German leader, Adolf Hitler. Diana became so close to him that when she and Mosley married in 1936, the ceremony took place in the Goebbels' drawing room with Hitler as the guest of honor. She would continue to visit Hitler until a month before the outbreak of World War II, and afterwards she refused to believe in the horrors of the Holocaust. During the war the Mosleys' association with Hitler led them to be arrested and detained for three and a half years. After, they rebuilt their lives in exile, entertaining and being entertained by pre-war friends and new associates, including the Windsors. Attempts by Oswald Mosley to enter mainstream politics failed abjectly; for him at least, the message of the real world finally got through. His death devastated Diana, after their almost fifty years together. Her loyalty to him remained unquestioning, his political beliefs as sacred in death as in life. Anne de Courcy's gripping biography reveals the mesmerizing life of a woman whose fateful choices shocked her family, friends and fellow countrymen while she remained unbowed. This is a unique window on a world and a life that are no more but are still gripping fifty years later.

Lakota Woman
Erdoes, Richard; Brave Bird, Mary; Dog, Mary Crow
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Perennial, 1994 FIRST TRADE EDITION/FIRST PRINTING. This copy is in absolutely LOVELY condition. It does have a small sticker at the bottom extremity of the spine that says "USED"...additionally, there is a tiny red dot on the bottom of the book, perhaps the previous owner's way of identifying certain types of books. It does not appear to be the traditional "remainder" mark. All pages intact and binding is tight, without slant. No writing or highlighting although there is an extremely faint "ghost" of some pencil marks at the top of the first page...may have been pricing or inventory info. MICRO amount of edgewear to covers, right corners of covers have the slightest "bump" ever, but they are mentioned due to the anal retentive neurosis of the bookseller. They are TRULY tiny. NOT book club. No reading crease along spine. Collectible. Amazing photographs of events surrounding Wounded Knee and of the author's experiences during the 60's. This is a classic in terms of Native American history and imho should be read by every student in the U.S. Non-smoking. BellyFireBooks is a "one-woman" business that is dedicated to stellar customer service (FAST order response, accurate descriptions, and meticulous packing) and to the belief that a love for reading is one of the greatest gifts that we can give our children. Your business is truly appreciated; I hope that you will choose BellyFireBooks again and again. . FIRST TRADE EDITION/FIRST PRINTING. Soft Cover. Fine/NEW. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. NOT Ex-library.
