2. The book I am reading at the moment

is "Killing Custer". It's about the Battle at the Little Bighorn from the perspective of the Native Americans.
He wrote some novels too. Haven't read them yet. But the book about Custer is fantastic.
Welch was a Native American.

5. I know... I am terrible and I apologize for not staying in touch.

New job, 2nd shift has got me all turned around, upside down. Have been working a lot of overtime. Good for the pocketbook, not so good for my social life.

This book will also make a good gift for my brother. He is a huge history buff!
