A descendant of the Algonquins explores a rapidly disappearing world in which there is no word for time and life moves with the rhythms of nature - the world of the Algonquin Indians. One of the largest and most diverse language groups in the world; the nations and tribes which are related under the title "Algonquin" once occupied most of the northeastern United States; from the Mississippi River to the Atlantic Ocean; and great portions of southern Canada. Their influence on the culture and history of North America has been immense. Here we share this world and experience with the author a sweat lodge; vision quest; ceremonial dances and the wise teachings of Algonquin elders. Pritchard also points out the remarkable parallels between Algonquin beliefs and those of better-known religions; Taoism; Buddhism; Judaism; and Christianity.

Five StarsBy jdc; sr.Detailed info about the activities of the troops I was looking for; the SC 17th Infantry; Company F.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Wandering to Glory: Confederate Veterans Remember Evans's BrigadeBy David A. ZarrWandering to Glory was what I have been seeking... information on Evans "Tramp" Brigade. The stories written by the actual troops were very useful and painted a very good picture of what this General and his companies did during the Civil War as well as what went on between the General and his troops as well as his commanding officers.Very little information on this General and this brigade can be found on the web. This book was very well researched and written.
