Men's Book Discussion Group: One Thousand White Women by Jim Fergus
Start: 6:30 pm

The Men's Discussion Group discussed One Thousand White Women: The Journals of May Dodd by Jim Fergus and J. Will Dodd issuing a rating (on a scale of 1 - 5 stars) of 4.7 stars for readability and 4 stars for interest.

Based on an actual historical event, One Thousand White Women tells
the story--in diary and letter form--of a young woman, who in 1875,
travels to the American West to marry Little Wolf, the chief of the
Cheyenne nation.  May Dodd and a colorful assembly of pioneer women, under the auspices of the U.S. government, travels to the western prairies in 1875 to intermarry among the Cheyenne Indians. The covert and controversial "Brides for Indians" program, launched by the administration of Ulysses S. Grant, is intended to help assimilate the Indians into the white man's world. Toward that end May and her friends embark upon the adventure of their lifetime. Jim Fergus has so vividly depicted the American West that it is as if these diaries are a capsule in time.

T.H.U.R.S. Book Club: Driftless by David Rhodes
Start: 3:00 pm

The Highly Unusual Reading Society (T.H.U.R.S.) book club will be discussing Driftless by David Rhodes.

David Rhodes's long-awaited new novel turns an unblinking eye on an
array of eccentric characters and situations. The setting is Words,
Wisconsin, an anonymous town of only a few hundred people. But under
its sleepy surface, life rages. Cora and Graham guard their dairy farm,
and family, from the wicked schemes of their milk co-op. Lifelong
paraplegic Olivia suddenly starts to walk, only to find herself
crippled by her fury toward her sister and caretaker, Violet. Recently
retired Rusty finds a cougar living in his haymow, dredging up haunting
childhood memories. Winifred becomes pastor of the Friends church and
stumbles on enlightenment in a very unlikely place. And Julia
Montgomery, both private and gregarious, instigates a series of events
that threatens the town's solitude and doggedly suspicious ways. Driftless finds the author's powers undiminished in this
unforgettable story that evokes a small-town America previously
unmapped, and the damaged denizens who must make their way through it.
