A White-Bearded Plainsman
W. Raymond Wood played a leading role in the early days of Great Plains archaeology. In A White-Bearded Plainsman, he tells how his own career emerged, as the discipline of Plains archaeology developed during the post-World War II era. Readers will learn of the childhood influences that lead Wood to pursue the path of archaeologist, and of the events and people that shaped his professional life. In addition to telling Wood’s personal story, the book provides an intellectual history of the discipline of mid-continental archaeology over the last half century. It will thus be valuable to students and scholars in the field, as it describes how the paradigms in Plains and midwestern prehistory have changed over time. To understand the discipline, one must understand the cultural and intellectual underpinnings that shaped it. Wood’s book helps map for a new generation of archaeologists from whence they’ve come, and his role in the developments along the way.

The Ray Wood Story
Demanding racial equality in a system of oppression is a fight that resonated in the Black American community in the 1960's and still rings true today. From Malcolm X and Fred Hampton to Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, the crimes perpetrated by the police have shrouded America in a dark cloud of mystery, conspiracy, and corruption for far too long. The suspicious circumstances that surround the tragic assassination of Malcolm X at the Audubon Ballroom have been speculated about for over 55 years; and for 55 years, that same dark secret hovered over Raymond A Wood, an NYPD detective who served throughout the 1960's and 1970's. That was until today. In a heart wrenching confession held secret until his death, Raymond Wood reveals his and the government's cataclysmic involvement in the assassination of a prominent leader of the civil rights movement, the revered (or in the government's case, feared) Malcolm X. This is an account of an undercover detective's eyewitness and involvement in a ghastly scheme orchestrated by the NYPD that ultimately removed from this earth one of the most powerful, influential leaders of the 20th century.
