Of all the iconic figures of Native American history, Crazy Horse remains the most enigmatic. To this day he strides across American history as a man who lived—and died—on his own terms. “’Stone Song’ is a deeply spiritual story about the soul journey of a great and mysterious American hero.” ~ The Dallas Morning News. Ridiculed as a boy for his white-man looks, he called for a vision, and received a great one . . . a vision that would shape his life. He was to fight for his people. In order to be successful, he must not accept traditional Lakota finery, rewards, and would sacrifice the dream of a wife and children. By following his vision, and his destiny of that as a mystic warrior, he was able to lead his people to their greatest victory—the defeat of General Custer at the Battle of the Little Bighorn.Called to his monumental task, and tortured by his deeply passionate love of a woman, Crazy Horse found peace only in battle. Drawing inspiration from the eternal wisdom of his people, he discovered the means to defeat the U.S. Army at its own deadly game.

    For Nina, an ecologist working alongside local archaeologists, the discovery of a baby’s grave dating from the thirteenth century is of far more interest than just academic. Nina is mourning the loss of her own baby – a fact that seems not to have gone un-noticed by the spirits disturbed by the dig. And she is not alone in feeling an unusual affinity with the dig site: her boss Mark also senses strange presences there. Nina is drawn to Mark, but she is unsure of their relationship, and unable to communicate her feelings. Mark, meanwhile, is not a man given to clear expressions of affection and he too is mourning – mourning the failure of his engagement. As Mark and Nina continue to work on the Wye Valley site, their developing relationship has uncanny echoes of the past. The baby buried in the Wye Valley is the child of Gawyn, a headstrong Crusader knight who once travelled from France to Wales with a sacred secret; a secret that has lain dormant for hundreds of years. Until now...The baby’s mother, his wife Roese, followed a hugely challenging and at times death-defying path to find her home in the quiet Wye Valley. As Nina and Mark delve ever deeper into the past, they find out more of Gawyn's story, his travels across Europe and – perhaps most important of all – his encounter with a group of religious believers who held to their beliefs despite being mercilessly persecuted by the Crusaders. With their own story developing and sometimes mirroring that of Roese and Gawyn, will Nina and Mark find a spiritual home? Only time will tell…

    With a new epilogue.

    Most of the text is taken from journals in which I recorded observations, experiences, thoughts and feelings during the many days and nights I spent on houseboats and in camps in the Atchafalaya Basin. These journal entries, which are not necessarily arranged in chronological order, go back to 1992 when I began seriously my effort to return to an earlier, simpler kind of life. And I started at Bayou Chene, once the site of a community of six hundred people, approachable only by water, now abandoned and covered by layer upon layer of sand and silt - the sediment dumped into the Atchafalaya Spillway each year by the waters of the Mississippi and Red Rivers. So this is a book about change: change in the landscape and waters due to sedimentation, change in appearance and character due to the effects of logging, and change in myself as I attempt to simplify my life and become focused. For the most part the photographs included here represent my attempts to capture on film that time of early morning and later afternoon sometimes called "the magic hour." Many of these images were made at Lake Fausse Pointe, an exceptionally beautiful part of the Basin, and the present location of my own houseboat. Although nearly all the changes that have occurred in the Atchafalaya Basin before and during my lifetime are negative and disappointing to me, the entire area remains my favorite place on earth. I believe that this book will help reveal why that feeling is not unreasonable.
