Gentle readers within this American Chronicle, nice gifts for Christmas include good books. Here is one you may like...>
Dear Joseph,
If you watched the Ken Burns documentary series The National Parks: America´s Best Idea, on PBS last month, you´ll surely remember Shelton Johnson as the eloquent and charismatic Yosemite park ranger whose life was changed by a youthful trip to Yellowstone. You´ll also recall his tale of the "buffalo soldiers": African-Americans serving in the U.S. Cavalry who patrolled Yosemite and other parks at the turn of the last century.
Many have called Shelton the "star" of the series. But did you know he´s also the talented author of a brand-new novel, Gloryland—just published by Sierra Club Books?
Shelton´s novel follows the odyssey of a fictional buffalo soldier, Elijah Yancy—a black cavalryman and the son of slaves who finds true freedom when he is posted to patrol the newly created Yosemite National Park in 1903.
Now through December 15th get 20% off Sierra Club Books and Calendars - simply enter the code GLORY at checkout.
Ken Burns himself said of the book, "This is a work of extraordinary imagination and sympathy, a journey from slavery to the mountaintop, perfectly realized, with a voice [that´s] new and honest and insightful."
Sierra Club is proud to be the publisher of this remarkable novel, and we´re pleased to make it available to our members and supporters at a very special price, just in time for holiday giving.
