Purgatory crossing / by Johnstone, William W.,author.; Johnstone, J. A.,author.;
A legend, his name is mentioned alongside Buffalo Bill Cody and Wild Bill Hickok. He casts a stormcloud-sized shadow across the untamed Western frontier. Men on both sides of the law fear his wrath. For Nathan Stark is the army's avenging angel, waging war against the hostile Indian tribes that threaten the nation--and murdered his family in cold blood. In Arizona Territory, the Apache have been raiding both sides of the border, slaughtering anyone who gets in their way. This is the same Indian band that kidnapped the children of the Navajo chief whose scouts serve the U.S. Army--and the Navajo will not engage the Apache as long as the chief's children are in harm's way. Now, Stark and Crow scout Moses Red Buffalo have been tasked with rescuing the Navajo. But they aren't the only ones on the trail of the kill-crazy Apache. A group of unhinged scalphunters are looking to collect the Mexican government's bounty on the Apache. Now the territory is about to explode in an avalanche of violence and death.

Dispersals : on plants, borders, and belonging / by Lee, Jessica J.,1986-author.;
Includes bibliographical references."In fourteen essays, Dispersals explores the entanglements of the plant and human worlds: from species considered invasive, like giant hogweed; to those vilified but intimate, like soy; and those like kelp, on which our futures depend. Each of the plants considered in this collection are somehow perceived as being 'out of place'--weeds, samples collected through imperial science, crops introduced and transformed by our hand. Combining memoir, history, and scientific research in poetic prose, Jessica J. Lee meditates on the question of how both plants and people come to belong, why both cross borders, and how our futures are more entwined than we might imagine"--
