Yes, I know I was just complaining that the holidays are already in the stores, and now I am adding a few holiday books to this post. BUT… picking up these books when they pop up for free is just good planning, and you don’t actually have to read them until your ready. Now I am going to go do something summerish like running through sprinklers to wash off the guilt of posting holiday stuff.

Faced with possible torture for their religious beliefs, Henry and Mary Pattenden flee 17th century England, experience a perilous trip across the Atlantic only to arrive on the barbaric shores of colonial America where they endure further hardships in the primitive days of America with Indian massacres, illness, death, loneliness, love and greed to practice their Christian faith.
Coming from diverse cultural backgrounds and separated from Jamestown by the Chesapeake Bay, the settlers of ‘Ye Kingdom of Accawmacke’ utilized the distance to avoid laws and restrictions imputed on early colonists and created an almost utopia existence among the friendly Indians.
Actual court records dating back to the early1630’s provide historical fodder for the Pattendens’ personal story, and gives the reader an accurate yet fictionalized love story and view of what life may have been like in colonial America. Based on actual residents of the Eastern Shore of Virginia, Ribbon of Lovereveals a glimpse of America’s future before the Revolutionary war and what the nation will become. An added bonus is the Appendix where the author delineates historical fact from historical fiction within each chapter of the romantic novel.

THIS IS THE 151 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE DAKOTA CONFLICT OF AUGUST 1862, PART OF THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR.
“On the morning of Monday, August 18th, 1862, as if a volcano filled with lava and blood had suddenly discharged its contents upon the earth, the Sioux massacre burst upon the breast of Minnesota, terrific and unexampled, covering her soil with the blood of her children, and, amid horrors of devastation and death, spreading anguish and consternation on every side. The very hour when, dreaming of “ Peace and Safety,” sudden destruction came.” – Biography of Col. Henry Hastings Sibley, Commander of the Indian Expedition.
The Dakota Conflict, or Great Sioux Uprising as it was called, occurred 150 years ago in 1862 and became identified as part of the American Civil War. The Dakota Conflict caused the greatest loss of civilian life in an Indian war in U. S. history, and resulted in the largest mass execution in U. S. history. The author is a direct descendant of settlers living in Blue Earth County, Minnesota, who witnessed this dark chapter in American history. We commemorate all victims of the Sioux Uprising, we forgive the crimes of our ancestors, and we support efforts at reconciliation between the white and Indian cultures. Read this American Civil War Ebook novel of historical fiction now, which is based on the events of the Sioux Uprising, and is also available here at Amazon in a hardcover collector’s copy for personal and community libraries.
“The Native Peoples of the United States could only take so much from the world. “Blood on the Prairie” is a novel set amongst this theater of the American Civil War, where the Sioux Nation rebelled against Minnesota and led to some of the bloodiest conflicts of the period. Author Steven Ulmen draws on his own personal history to tell the story of the conflict.
