Faery Lands Forlorn: Part Two of A Man of His Word
Inos, the late king's daughter, had been kidnapped through the magic casement even as the Impish legions overrunning her tiny kingdom were storming the castle tower.

She little dreamed that the loyal stableboy Rap had jumped through the casement after her. But no one really knew how the magic worked, and Rap found himself not in a desert, but in the steaming jungles of Faerie -- half a world away from Inos!

Forlorn Hope
"Forlorn Hope" is a term that dates to the Revolutionary War or earlier It means to send a small group of men, usually soldiers, on a desperate, possibly suicidal, mission On a June morning in 1877, 109 soldiers and civilian volunteers rode into White Bird Canyon in the Idaho Territory. They planned to launch a surprise attack on a band of Nez Perce Indians camped in the canyon. In the encounter that followed, a numerically inferior force of Nez Perce warriors inflicted a defeat on the soldiers more complete than the one suffered the previous year by the Seventh Cavalry at the Little Bighorn. The battle at White Bird Canyon was the spark that ignited a four-month, 1,200-mile trek that ended in tragedy for the tribe that only seventy years earlier had saved Lewis and Clark from starvation. Published in a limited edition in 1978, Forlorn Hope was named by Indian wars historians as one of the best books ever written on the Nez Perce War. It provides an easy-to-read snapshot of the politics and people involved in a unique chapter in the history of Idaho and the American West..

Lingering Spirit: A Photographic Tribute to Indiana's Fading, Forlorn, and Forgotten Places
Lingering Spirit is a moving experience—a captivating book that is filled with forlorn and abandoned homes, barns, and vehicles that have outlived their usefulness As you turn each page, you become a living witness to a past that once defined a state. The farmsteads, general stores, churches, schools, and factories are a collective monument to the generations who lived out their lives in quiet dignity. Once integral to everyday existence, these places and objects are now relics that lie dormant across the countryside. Often ignored, they still retain an energy—a part of the soul—of their makers and users. And, it is precisely this spirit that has been so successfully captured in this timeless book. Each sepia-toned, black-and-white image will emotionally connect you to those who have gone before, to their struggles as well as their hopes and dreams. With over 200 stunning photographs—all taken in south-central Indiana—Hoosier photographer John Bower has created a compelling visual journey, one that will never be forgotten..
