Born in 1922, Kenny Thomas Sr. has been a trapper, firefighter,
road builder, river-freight hauler, and soldier. Today he is a
respected elder and member of a northern Athabaskan tribal group
residing in Tanacross, Alaska. As a song and dance leader for the
Tanacross community, Thomas has been teaching village traditions at
an annual culture camp for more than twenty years. Over a
three-year period, folklorist Craig Mishler conducted a series of
interviews with Thomas about his life experiences. Crow Is My Boss
is the fascinating result of this collaboration. Written in a style
that reflects the dialogue between Thomas and Mishler, Crow Is My
Boss retains the authenticity of Thomas's voice, capturing his
honesty and humor. Thomas reveals biographical details, performs
and explains traditional folktales and the potlatch tradition, and
discusses ghosts and medicine people. One folktale is presented in
both English and Tanacross, Thomas's native language. A compelling
personal story, Crow Is My Boss provides insight into the
traditional and contemporary culture of Tanacross Athabaskans in
Alaska.

legend, its remain were then laid to rest in a sealed tomb high up

Different as the Trojan War was to Greeks and Romans, the two
peoples united in an identical longing for a heroism that was
attainable in the present only by reaching out for an impossible
past. Carol G. Thomas and Craig Conant's broad and varied account
of the Trojan War allows readers to investigate the archaeological
and historical foundations that underlie the epic poems featuring
Achilles and Aeneas, and to examine how the poems altered
understanding of the war for the many cultures and civilizations
touched by their narrative power.Conceived as an introduction to
this critical event in the Western tradition, The Trojan War offers
readers and researchers an engaging mixture of descriptive
chapters, biographical sketches, and annotated primary documents.
Also provided are an annotated bibliography and index.
