You are so beautiful,” I say, unable to shed the awe in my voice. I hear it, the childish wonder in my tone, and it embarrasses me more than it should. I know I shouldn’t be ashamed to feel deeply. To be moved. This non fiction focuses on the trauma, experiences, and more during the time of the conflict. The book begins from when Jerry was taken prisoner, to when he blinked Morse code “Torture” during an interview, to the connections and secret codes he helped the other POW’s form. This YA book is well researched and documented and parts of it deal with the controversy of Americans not actually declaring it a war and how this effected the POW’s rights. Betty, looking through binoculars, observed an "odd-shaped" craft flashing multicolored lights travel across the face of the Moon. [9] Because her sister had several years earlier said she had seen a flying saucer, Betty thought it might be what she was observing. Through binoculars, Barney observed what he reasoned was a commercial airliner traveling toward Vermont on its way to Montreal. However, he soon changed his mind, because without looking as if it had turned, the craft rapidly descended in his direction. This observation caused Barney to realize, "this object that was a plane was not a plane." [10] For four months, Elizabeth Marsh made it her mission to survive by whatever means possible, including firmly resisting the sexual harassment she was subjected to by the Prince who wanted her as his concubine.

The sun drops into the ocean and splashes browns and reds and yellows and oranges into the world outside my window. A million leaves from a hundred different branches dip in the wind, fluttering with the false promise of flight. The gust catches their withered wings only to force them downward, forgotten, left to be trampled by the soldiers stationed just below. Scott Zechs’s great-great-great-uncle, Adolph Korn, was captured by Indians in 1870. From family stories, Zesch learned that his relative had difficulties readjusting to a farming life once he returned. He decided to find out more about his Uncle Adolph’s life. Since it had been so long and only a small amount of information specific to his uncle was available, he expanded his research to similar situations. This book describes the capture, captivity, release, and ultimate outcomes for nine such individuals, ranging in age from eight to fourteen at the time of their abduction. Most were held by Apaches or Comanches. All were from the Texas hill country and most were German immigrants. Elizabeth and her fellow captives including James Crisp, left Morocco. With their freedom now restored, the return to normality was a difficult transition to make. Condition: Very Good. Very Good condition.

Clearly it was a narrow range of age that were captured/kidnapped and lived to either return to settler life, or return to American Indian tribal adulthood. That age was between 8 to 14 years upon capture. Both boys and girls after that age usually were killed outright by the Indians, as too untrustworthy for adoption, or just too hard to physically control. Under 7 or 8 they were also usually killed outright because of the difficulty in fast and long journey movement that was intrinsic to their strategy. That middle age worked for new tribal members and for hostage fees in exchange (profit)both. Zeta Reticuli Incident". gravitywarpdrive.com. December 1974.

Elizabeth was navigating a difficult and complex cultural situation whereby the social acceptance of slavery and harems at this time in Arab culture, meant her position as a white female captive was particularly precarious.

She and Barney were taken to their car, where the leader suggested that they wait to watch the craft's departure. They did so, and then resumed their drive home.

Her uncle, who held a good position in the Navy Office, would also go on to secure his brother a desirable position in Menorca. Now out of captivity, Elizabeth owed a great debt to James Crisp.

The Last Escape: The Untold Story of Allied Prisoners of War

I was watching, loving and grieving my best friend all at once while sitting alone in her home; empty chairs being the hardest element to look at. Thankfully somewhere within myself, I found the strength to write the story of her life, and mine in many ways, and within nine months of starting it, I had it completed. I’m really proud of Gran and even if we don’t win the award, I know in my heart she will be in Heaven smiling from ear to ear as I will be doing on earth. I lean against the unusually white wall, studying her as she frowns at me, her lips still parted around the shape of a word she seems to have forgotten. While many were killed on these raids, Zesch focused on those taken by the Natives and incorporated into tribal life. In most of these cases, this occurred to children, as they are easier to mold and influence. Additionally, for those who for whatever reason returned to white society, most found it incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to ever fully reclaim their biological family and culture.I feel like "inspiring" gets thrown around far too often, but this actually is an inspiring story. There are a lot of heroes here, but it centers around Jeremiah "Jerry" Denton, who was a POW for seven and a half years. He was instrumental in helping his fellow soldiers keep hoping, and he managed to keep everyone's morale as high as possible. (Which, given the conditions, is probably an actual miracle.) Dogged original research and superb narrative skills come together in this gripping account of pitiless evil. coaccess". apps.crossref.org. doi: 10.1215/9780822387015-002. S2CID 192125982.
