Baggattaway

Baggattaway Review

Once, before the sunrise, they had a game. Until they were removed to the sidelines for a long, silent age in which their last numbers are inert as upright fossils. How the blood of these fossils would be stirred up if even a single inning of baggattaway (lacrosse) could be played again. Chippewa sons Birch Charlevoix and Neil Longbow LaSalle intend to stir up that Native blood. Drawing the rancor of Indian haters and the lacrosse establishment, they fight to honor their game, to institute Indian rules for the Lacrosse World Cup of 2010. They recruit Native peoples from tribal lands in Oklahoma and South Dakota as spectators. A vast interstate caravan of buses, a trail of tears in reverse, chugs innocently toward the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for the tournament. Birch and Neil's personal lives are not spared. Age-old secrets come to the light of day, including one studiously shrouded by Neil about Birch's wife Marla. Is Birch's dream of Indigene remembrance even a possibility?

American Rally Action 2

American Rally Action 2 Review

It's racing where split seconds count. Where teams keep going even after rolling their cars. Where nerve, skill, and luck, combine to get rally teams to the finish line. Motorsport photographer Ronnie Arnold has again captured the thrill and action of the sport during the 2006 season of the Rally America Championship and the U.S. Rally Championship series. His camera followed outstanding international teams of drivers and co-drivers on stages that tested their speed and endurance and their cars' performance. Follow Travis Pastrana, Ken Block and Tanner Foust as they compete for honors in the 2006 season. Subaru, Mitsubishi, Ford, Dodge and many more are represented. American Rally Action 2 is the top chronicle of the 2006 season. Hundreds of brilliant action photographs of cars and competitors, plus the event results, will bring back memories of the unforgettable races and even more unforgettable drivers.
