Understanding James Welch
A valuable companion to the works of an acclaimed Native American writer In Understanding James Welch, Ron McFarland offers analysis and critical commentary on the works of the renowned Blackfeet-Gros Ventre writer whose first novel, Winter in the Blood, has become a classic in Native American fiction and whose book of poems, Riding the Earthboy 40, has remained in print since its initial publication in 1971. McFarland offers close readings of Welch's poems and five novels, as well as his volume of nonfiction, Killing Custer, which tells the story of the Battle of the Little Bighorn from a Native American perspective. Demonstrating how Welch wrote each of the novels from a different angle, M...
Confessions of a Night Librarian and Other Embarrassments
Ron McFarland's recollections of growing up in Brevard County in the 1950's and early 1960's provide excellent fodder for his wicked sense of humor and his somewhat warped "take on life."
Professor McFarland in Reel Time
"The traumas of trout fishing, like all traumas, require not aimless thrashing and cursing, but grace."If you ever had any doubts that fishing is an art form, put on your wading boots and step lightly into the stream with Professor Ron McFarland. If you must speak, then whisper, better to hear the hum of the line made taut by the pull of a trout.For half a century Ron has had two passions: his beloved fishing, and the romance of the English language, expressed as a lifelong career teaching literature and writing. These two endeavors do not compete for his attention; rather, they complement each other. Fishing has taught him grace-in fact, required it, and the love of language has given him the ability to convey the art and pleasures of fishing with a narrative that flows smooth as running water. There is speculation that fish compete for the right to be caught by the man of such grace and wisdom.Read Professor McFarland in Reel Time before you disregard such murmurings.

Appropriating Hemingway
In more than 30 novels, several short stories, graphic novels, movies, plays and poems, Ernest Hemingway has been introduced or "appropriated" as an important fictional character. This book is an inquiry into that phenomenon from various perspectives--including that of fan fiction--and deals with such questions as what, if anything, this biographical fiction adds to the dialogue about America's best known and most talked about writer.

Edward J. Steptoe and the Indian Wars
Lieutenant Colonel Edward J. Steptoe's escape from encirclement by 1,000 Northern Plateau Indians in 1858 is a familiar story from the Indian Wars. Yet the details of the Battle of Pine Creek (or Tohotonimme) and its aftermath remain subjects of debate. Outnumbered six to one, Steptoe's 164 troops slipped away in the night. Newspapers called it a "disaster." A few weeks later, Colonel George Wright avenged the defeat and Steptoe, who had suffered a stroke months before the battle, lived his final years in relative obscurity in his native Virginia as the Civil War erupted. This definitive biography of Steptoe chronicles the career of a field officer who served nearly four years in the Second Seminole War, won commendation for gallantry during the Mexican War, performed admirably (though controversially) in the Utah Territory, undertook construction of forts at Walla Walla in the newly defined Washington Territory and engaged with various tribes throughout his deployments. His personal letters reveal a thoughtful, sensitive commander who came to question his choice of career even before his final battle.
