Men go out in the desert to find their puha–their power. Why can a woman not do the same? The girl wondered. She looked at her hands. Maybe this is a dream, she hoped. A medicine woman once told Wa Shana that if one could see their own hands in a dream, they could control their dream to learn many secrets. Wa Shana’s hands were cracked and bleeding, from days of scraping buffalo hides and tending the cooking fires. Her whole life was one of toil, drudgery and scolding from the older women of the village. The dizziness, this sense of being apart from her body, had started in mid-afternoon. Only a swallow or two remained in her goatskin bag; she needed to save it. Except for some pemmican and a small knife, she had no other provisions. What little status Wa Shana had in the tribe was gone. A woman’s power, her ‘puha’, came from being the center of a family—the power of drawing in a man, becoming the wife of a warrior, giving birth and raising children. Wa Shana no longer had any of that. She only had the reputation of humming strange songs to herself when she worked, which only intensified the tribe’s belief that she was possessed by an evil spirit. Amelia D.

The book is one of twelve books of the Black Children Speak series. The books are compiled interviews taken from slaves by the interviewers of the Federal Writers Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 19361938. Most of the ex-slaves giving the interviews were children during slavery and gave interviews of their experiences and insights about living on plantations. The ex-slaves answered questions on all aspects of the plantations in seventeen states of the United States before the Civil War. African Americans were freed from slavery after the Civil War in 1865. The series is dedicated to all people of the world.

The Voices From The Past is a compilation of first-hand testimonies by former slaves, gathered and recorded by the Work Projects Administration. This powerful and poignant book provides readers with a unique insight into the lives and experiences of individuals who were enslaved in America. The raw and unfiltered narratives included in this volume shed light on the hardships, resilience, and strength of those who were oppressed, making it a valuable historical and literary resource. The book is written in a straightforward and unembellished style, allowing the voices of the former slaves to speak for themselves and resonate with readers. The literary context of this work is significant as it captures a crucial period in American history and provides a perspective often overlooked in traditional accounts. The Work Projects Administration, an agency established during the Great Depression, compiled these testimonies as part of their efforts to provide employment for writers and researchers. Their commitment to preserving the stories of those who lived through slavery serves as a testament to the importance of recording marginalized histories. This book stands as a testament to the dedication of the WPA in preserving the voices of the past for future generations. I highly recommend The Voices From The Past to readers interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the human experience during the era of slavery in America. This compelling and enlightening collection of testimonies offers a unique perspective on a dark chapter in our history and is a must-read for those seeking to broaden their knowledge and empathy towards the struggles of the past.

In this, the second of a two-part work on the life of Abraham Lincoln, Firedrake follows the exploits of young Ezra Cutshaw, a poor dirt farmer from Kentucky. Ezra comes of age in a nation, gone crazy for war. The story chronicles his rebuff by his childhood sweetheart, his experiences as a member of Morgans Raiders, his grievous wounding on the battlefield and his subsequent recuperation in a military hospital near Washington D.C. As the momentous conflict races to its conclusion, Ezra crosses paths with several historical figures. With Presidents Lincoln and Davis, plus a supporting cast of reprobates and pitiable souls, Ezra struggles to make sense of a world coming apart around him.
