Ordinary Soil by Alex Woodard
The soil you see is not ordinary soil--it is the dust of the blood, the flesh, and the bones of our ancestors . . . You will have to dig down through the surface before you find nature's earth.--Ashishishe (c. 1856-1923), Crow Nation Warrior Critically acclaimed author and singer-songwriter Alex Woodard's latest offering is an extraordinary work of historical fiction.

The book balances lyrical, powerful storytelling with deliberately researched historical and empirical themes, offering readers an evocative tale of humanity punctuated by startling glimpses into the symbiotic, tragic, and beautiful relationship between planet and human.
