Dream of a Thousand Lives
by Karen Connelly
Karen Connelly was a young woman when she left Canada to spend a year in Denchai, a small farming community in northern Thailand. She arrived armed with nothing but a keen sense of adventure; she returned genuinely and forever altered by her experience, which she captures in this lyrical portrait of the real Thailand--a land shaped by both Buddhist 'nothingness' and formal Thai decorum, washed with torrential rains and flattened by steamy heat. Through a carefully crafted narrative, Connelly shares a rare awareness and consideration of Thai culture, while painting through gorgeous prose a country infinitely more complex, frustrating and intriguing than she ever imagined. This book will incite a legion of armchair travelers to pack up for asia, an exotic region made more tangible in the telling--and enchant many more by the sheer grace and humor of Connelly's writing.
Trail of Hope
by Slaughter
The western migration of more than 500,000 people is one of America's legendary stories. From 1806, when Lewis and Clark "opened" the West, until the 1869 joining of the railroads, these pioneers set out on trails leading to various points westward. Forsaking all they knew -- sometimes leaving behind friends and family -- the emigrants moved toward the unknown with hope for a new start and a better life. Within this general migration is the story of some seventy thousand Mormon pioneers who traveled on foot, in wagon trains, and, during a four-year experiment, in handcart companies to their Zion in the Great Basin of the West -- Salt Lake City. Beginning with their expulsion from Nauvoo, Illinois, in 1846 and for the succeeding twenty-two years, the migration of the Mormon pioneers was a curious saga in the settlement of the American West. Mostly poor, they came from the eastern United States, Canada, England, the European continent, and South Africa. They traveled on ships, canal boats, trains, and riverboats and then came on foot in wagon trains and handcart companies. An 1849 observer in Florence, Nebraska, described a Mormon wagon train in this way: "They began to bend their way westward over the boundless plains that lie between us and the Valley of the Great Salt Lake. Slowly and majestically they moved along, displaying a column of upwards of three hundred wagons, cattle, sheep, hogs, horses, mules, chickens, turkeys, geese, doves, goats, and...lots of men, women and children. In this company was...the farmer, the merchant, the doctor, the minister, and almost every thing necessary for a settlement in a new country".
