The Historia chronicles the almost two-thousand-year history of Britain's pre-Anglo-Saxon (i.e., Celtic) kings, from the foundation of Britain by the Trojan exile Brutus through the decline and fall of British sovereignty in the seventh century after the death of its final king, Cadwallader. And by anyone's measure, the book was a bestseller, with 217 surviving copies still found throughout Europe. His pseudo-history, the Historia Regum Britanniae ( History of the Kings of Britain) shaped medieval Britain's understanding of its own past like no other text. ![]() Geoffrey of Monmouth justly takes his place among the most influential and creative minds of the Middle Ages. ![]()

McClurken explains how the Little River Band was forced, in 1858, onto a reservation on the Pere Marquette and Manistee Rivers where they settled with a number of other Ottawa bands. Although the Little River Ottawas were successful at integrating their economic and cultural practices with those of Europeans, they were forced to cede land in the face of American settlements. He describes the Band's struggles to find land to call its own over several centuries, including the hardships that began with European exploration of what is now the upper Midwest. In his thoroughly researched chronicle, McClurken documents in words and images every major lineage and family of the Little River Ottawas. Published in 1830, the Narrative offers an entrée into the circulation of knowledge and debates about religion among Native Americans and white settlers in a time and place from which we have little record of such debates. ![]() Our People, Our Journey is a landmark history of the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians, a Michigan tribe that has survived to the present day despite the expansionist and assimilationist policies that nearly robbed it of an identity in the late nineteenth century. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I loved reading about Bitty’s journey again- his experience on the hockey team, JACK, bakingggg, Shitty being the best.
