But as a young adult he kept going back - in dreams and reality and by way of books. With this beautifully written narrative about a seemingly empty but actually rich and complex place he has reclaimed his childhood his unusual family - and the Great Plains. Among the subjects and people who bring his Plains to life are the destruction and resurgence of the American bison; his great - great - grandparents twenty - year sojourn in Nebraska as homesteaders; Native American \" Ghost Dancers \" who attempted to ward off destruction by supernatural means before the 1890 massacre at Wounded Knee; the political allegory to be found in The Wizard of Oz; and current attempts by ecologists to \"rewild\" the Plains. Ghost Dances is a fluid combination of memoir and history and reportage that reminds us that our roots matter - and might even be inspiring and fascinating.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Ghost Dances Proving Up Onthe Great Plains\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Garrett - Davis Josh\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Little Brown \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780316199841\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 256 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 8\/21\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Memoirs","brand":"Garrett - Davis Josh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49594355155249,"sku":"IN-G-9780316199841","price":41.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9780316199841.jpg?v=1753230331","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780316199841-ghost-dances-proving-up-onthe-great-plains","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
