I’m heading to Hearst Castle tomorrow to promote I’m heading to Hearst Castle tomorrow to promote Straight Lady: The Life and Times of Margaret Dumont, “The Fifth Marx Brother.” Maggie and the Marx Brothers were guests of Hearst’s in the 1920s and 30s. I’ll be doing research on a new book while I’m there as well. Packing my books for the trip I was reminded of a Groucho Marx quote. “From the moment I picked up your book until I laid it down, I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it.”

From a Reader of Mochi's War "A very good history From a Reader of Mochi's War "A very good history of the conditions that led to the Massacre at Sand Creek and what occurred in the lives of some of the participants. Mochi was a young Cheyenne woman who survived the attack on the camp at Sand Creek but lost her parents and husband in the attack. She becomes a warrior and sets out to avenge the ones she lost by attempting to stop the encroachment of whites on the land promised in various treaties to the Indians. Mochi becomes one of the famous or infamous Dog Soldiers that carried the war directly to the white settlers. Mochi's part in various attacks in the West are recounted here and her capture and imprisonment. Along with her story the authors give the read a view of the people who were attacked by the Dog Soldiers and also what happen to Maj. Chivington, the leader of the infamous "battle" at Sand Creek. A very interesting and well done history of a Native American woman who set out to get revenge on the people who had destroyed her people. Her name should be placed beside that of Pocahontas and Sacagawea in the annals of Native American history."
