Cherokee Treasure - Jeff Lovell
Cherokee Treasure by Jeff Lovell
Janice O’Neill, beautiful but immature, tries to abandon her husband and two daughters in the mid-1980s. Jilted by a criminal lover, she takes jobs which begin to show her skills in a variety of areas. When she fends off a bullying nasty attack from a customer at the shop where she works. He pursues her across the US and into Brazil, where she meets and falls in love with Chris. the man who will become her husband. Together they fight their way in the past against Simpkins, the villain, finally leaving him in a Hell of his own making.
When I was a little boy, a great deal of television dealt with cowboys, and a great deal of that portrayed Indians as vicious killers. One movie had the lead character talking about the Oglala Sioux: “They’re the throat cutters.” But some of the most heroic and brilliant generals in our country’s history were Native Americans: Crazy Horse, for example. Sitting Bull. Red Cloud, to name only a few. As a child, I was too young to have a sense of justice, I suppose, but I knew that it was wrong for the White Man to take the lands which were not theirs. It was wrong to slaughter the buffalo, as well, though the species seems to be making progress to repopulate now. Maybe I will succeed and give the land back to the Indians.
