Print: $19.99 Download: $7.54 In the preface to The Great Indian Chief of the West: Or Life and Adventures of Black Hawk, Benjamin Drake shared with the reader the hope that his book might “contribute to awaken the public mind to a sense of the wrongs inflicted upon the Indians, and to arouse the Christian statesmen of this land to the adoption of a more liberal, upright and benevolent course of policy towards them.”
Of course, that benevolent course of policy was never adopted. Between the Black Hawk War of 1832 and the Wounded Knee Massacre of 1890, numerous wars, campaigns, and massacres took place west of the Mississippi.
Benjamin Drake first published this excellent history on Black Hawk and the war named after him just six years after that war ended. This new edition, which marks the 175th anniversary of the Black Hawk War, reproduces the 1856 edition of Drake’s book, retaining the original punctuation but modernizing the spelling.

Hardcover Print: $27.95 Reprint of 1914 book:
IN “THE TOTEM OF BLACK HAWK” I have tried to do something more than just to write a story that will thrill and interest—I have endeavored to put real historical value into it, to give correct pictures of how the pioneers of the Middle West lived, how they built and furnished their homes and planted and tilled their fields.
The plot becomes involved in the Black Hawk War and that famous Indian chief plays an important part in the tale. In writing of this war I have sought to tell the truth, so far as I could learn it, even when the truth was discreditable to my own race; for, in this war, as in many of our other Indian wars, the white man was far from blameless. - EVERETT MCNEIL

Hardcover Print: $26.95 In What Really Happened, Kevin Groenhagen presents the facts concerning Bill Clinton’s actual record on Iraq and terrorism. It’s a record that is far different from what Clinton Inc, and their allies in the media have been telling the American people during the past eight years.
The facts Clinton Inc. has attempted to rewrite include, but are not limited to, the following:
• The Clinton administration in 1998 claimed that “al Qaeda reached an understanding with the government of Iraq that al Qaeda would not work against that government and that on particular projects, specifically including weapons development, al Qaeda would work cooperatively with the Government of Iraq.”
• Secretary of Defense William Cohen in July 2000 said protecting the American people from the threat posed by “axis of evil” (Iran, Iraq, and North Korea) was the most important issue to address.
• Bill Clinton’s policies vis-à-vis Iraq ultimately led to 9/11 and other “messages with no words.”
