If our thoughts be butterflies, then our minds must flowers be! Thoughts are quiet. Thoughts are silent. Profoundly felt. Thoughts are ours. No one can stop them. No one can start them. No one can take them away. Thoughts make us. Even break us. What we dare to think is closer to us than even our breath. Our thoughts no matter how far from reality are the ultimate truth. They are the real us. This book is a celebration of thoughts; no matter how trivial or momentous, no matter how every day or exceptional, no matter how simple or complicated, no matter how scandalous or innocuous, no matter how inspiring or dissuading, no matter how fiery or frigid, no matter how heartening or disheartening, no matter how enlivening or dampening, no matter how exalting or humbling, no matter how logical or irrational, no matter how calm or chaotic, no matter how free or bound....... Like a child who chases butterflies, I have chased thoughts, to draw upon the nectar of life. It is never easy to capture something as free as a thought. I have had to become a flower to allow them to sit upon me and consume me. I have held them preciously, delicately on my petals and then set them free again to visit another flower, another mind. If not for our thoughts, our lives would have been lost in the chaos created by loud voices, The sanity of our thoughts often lies buried in the debris of wanting words and mindless chatter. Somewhere in these pages you might find one of your thoughts, which I found floating, flying, sailing, tumbling, wandering, meandering, flowing or maybe only sitting still in the space where thoughts are known to exist...... obliviously everywhere!

This book offers a revealing look at how newspapers covered the key events of the Plains Indian Wars between 1862-1891—reporting that offers some surprising viewpoints as well as biases and misrepresentations. The Frontier Newspapers and the Coverage of the Plains Indian Wars takes readers back to the late 19th century to show how newspaper reporting impacted attitudes toward the conflict between the United States and Native Americans. Emphasizing primary sources and eyewitness accounts, the book focuses on eight watershed events between 1862 and 1891—the Great Sioux Uprising in Minnesota, the Sand Creek Massacre, the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868, the Battle of the Little Big Horn, the Flight of the Nez Perce, the Cheyenne Outbreak, the Trial of Standing Bear, and the Massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890 and its aftermath. Each chapter examines an individual event, analyzing the balance and accuracy of the newspaper coverage and how the reporting of the time reinforced stereotypes about Native Americans.
