Davy Crockett’s legend reimagined


Greenfield, Massachusetts [2020] reposting

Is it possible Davy Crockett didn't die at the Alamo?

Blue Hand Books has just released a new historical fiction “CROCKETT’s GOLD” by one of their most popular authors, John Christian Hopkins (Narragansett) who looks at the legend.  

“This is the author’s seventh book, published on his September wedding anniversary! Hopkins has brilliantly reimagined the Davy Crockett legend and how the story ends,” according to publisher Trace Hentz.  “If you love westerns, this story is driven with plenty of colorful characters,” Hentz said.

Hopkins writes that Centennial Brown left his Tennessee home to seek his fortune in the western lands, but when an old family friend needs help Brown can’t refuse.  But J.W. Crockett’s request isn’t a simple one: He wants Brown to carry a $20,000 ransom across the wild Texas frontier past outlaws, Indians and ruthless banditos and bring home his father – the famous frontiersman, Davy Crockett, who has been held captive since surviving the Alamo years earlier.

"John Christian Hopkins has a gift for taking historical facts and presenting them in a fictional setting that makes the characters come alive. In his earlier book Two Guns he continues the tradition...he writes with blazing accuracy about a place that had a lively past, to say the least.  Hopkins reminds us of that with his own unique storytelling style." - Bruce MacDonald, journalist

Hopkins is an award-winning journalist.  He currently lives on the Navajo Reservation with his wife, Sararesa.  Crockett’s Gold is available on Amazon.com as an ebook and paperback.  ISBN: 9798689149691 (Blue Hand Books)  Paperback $9.99   Kindle ebook $3.99

SURVIVAL FOOD | Native author Tom Pecore Weso (Menominee)

   Courtesy Wisconsin Historical Society Press A new memoir called SURVIVAL FOOD shares tales from growing up on the Menominee Indian Reservation. The author, Thomas Weso, was born in 1953.  He passed away in July before the book was published. Thomas Weso grew up in a time of economic transformation – when commodity goods were eaten alongside game from Wisconsin’s Northwoods.  And then there was the rise of processed foods. He often wrote about food. Here he is speaking in a 2021 interview with Wisconsin Historical Society Press. “We should think about where food comes from. Because if we think where food comes from, we’ll take better care of the land around us.” Weso’s wife, the writer Denise Low, says he was interested in writing about Indigenous people in the present. “He had a very zen sense of like, “What’s here now?” and not “what were Indians like, or Indigenous people like, 100 years ago? Here we are now.” Thomas Pecore Weso (1953-2023) was an aut...
