Genealogy Books For Sale - Gently Used

I have reluctantly decided to offer my genealogy books for sale.  Space is always  an issue. These are books I have bought thinking my ancestors might have been mentioned in them.  Well, they weren't.  However, they were very interesting books to read. Hopefully your ancestors will be included in these priceless gems.  My ancestors were just not front page news people.  You almost wish they'd done something with a little noteriety... not too much, but just enough to get mentioned.

Here are the 3 I am relinquishing to new homes.

"The term "buffalo soldier" originated with the Indians, who saw that the hair of the black soldiers resembled the fur of the buffalo and that the soldiers' fighting spirit made them a worthy opponent.  The soldiers accepted the name as complimentary, and the Tenth Cavalry incorporated a likeness of a buffalo on its regimental crest."

[Buffalo Soldier 9]

Keep telling that history:

Now you can read the greatest fictionalized 'historical novel', Rescue at Pine Ridge, the first generation of Buffalo Soldiers. The website is; http://www.rescueatpineridge.com This is the greatest story of Black Military History...5 stars Amazon, and Barnes & Noble. Youtube commercials are: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iD66NUKmZPs and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVslyHmDy9A&feature=related

Rescue at Pine Ridge is the story of the rescue of the famed 7th Cavalry by the 9th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers. The 7th Cavalry got their butts in a sling again after the Little Big Horn Massacre, fourteen years later, the day after the Wounded Knee Massacre. If it wasn't for the 9th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers, there would of been a second massacre of the 7th Cavalry.

This story is about, brutality, compassion, reprisal, bravery, heroism and gallantry.

I know you’ll enjoy the novel. I wrote the story that embodied the Native Americans, Outlaws and African-American/Black soldiers, from the south to the north, in the days of the Native American Wars with the approaching United States of America.

The novel was taken from my mini-series movie with the same title, “RaPR” to keep the story alive. Hollywood has had a lot of strikes and doesn’t like telling our stories…its been “his-story” of history all along…until now. The movie so far has attached, Bill Duke directing, Hill Harper, Glynn Turman, James Whitmore Jr. and a host of other major actors in which we are in talks with…see imdb.com at; http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0925633/

When you get a chance, also please visit our Alpha Wolf Production website at; http://www.alphawolfprods.com and see our other productions, like Stagecoach Mary, the first Black Woman to deliver mail for the US Postal System in Montana, in the 1890's, “spread the word”.

Peace.
