American Trinity

Jefferson, Custer, and the Spirit of the West

By: Larry Len Peterson

American Trinity is for everyone who loves the American West and wants to learn more about the good, the bad, and the ugly. It is a sprawling story with a scholarly approach in method but accessible in manner. In this innovative examination, Dr. Larry Len Peterson explores the origins, development, and consequences of hatred and racism from the time modern humans left Africa 100,000 years ago to the forced placement of Indian children on off-reservation schools far from home in the late 1800s. Along the way, dozens of notable individuals and cultures are profiled. Many historical events turned on the lives of legendary Americans like the "Father of the West," Thomas Jefferson, and the "Son of the West," George Armstrong Custer - two strange companions who shared an unshakable sense of their own skills - as their interpretation of truths motivated them in the winning of the West. Dr. Peterson reveals how anti-Indian sentiments were always only obliquely about them. They were victims but not the cause. The Indian was a symbol, not a real person. The politics of hate and racism directed toward them was also experienced in prior centuries by Jews, enslaved Africans, and other Christians. Hatred and racism, when taken into the public domain, are singularly difficult to justify, which is why Europeans and Americans have always sought vindication from the highest sources of authority in their cultures. In the Middle Ages it was religion supplemented later by the philosophy of the Enlightenment. In nineteenth-century Europe and America, religion and philosophy were joined by science and medicine to support Manifest Destiny, scientific racism, and social Darwinism, all of which had profound consequences on Native Americans and the Spirit of the West. Presenting research in anthropology, archaeology, biology, history, law, medicine, religion, philosophy, and psychology, Dr. Peterson provides the latest observations that delineate why the Native American's life was destroyed. American Trinity is a stunning portrait, a view at once unique, panoramic, and intimate. It is a fascinating book that will make you think about the differences between belief and knowledge; about the self-skepticism of science and medicine; and about what aspects of the world we take on faith.

Halfway to Midnight

By: Larry Len Peterson

It's 2020 and there's no Gary Cooper around to fight the bad guys, but fortunately for America, Dr. Don Lewis, another Montanan, is ready to meet the challenge. The prodigal son returns to his hometown on the rolling prairie of northeastern Montana to find his soul and practice family medicine. Instead, he discovers a community under the dark spell of the Trinity Project, whose headquarters casts a shadow over Cottonwood's main streets. The Project's goal is to control every aspect of American life, from health care to religion, transforming a democracy into a totalitarian society. If the Project isn't stopped at ground zero in Cottonwood, then America is doomed. Don Lewis is a man driven by his conscience, a doctor who believes in serving his patients, a small-town son who is surprised to be facing powerful and evil adversaries in his homeground, some of whom he has known his entire life. They captured the heart of the townspeople and will stop at nothing to win. He cannot let them. Fortunately, he is not entirely alone. With his beautiful wife, pastor Anne; his old flame, Abigail Anderson; and a handful of friends with true grit by his side, Don Lewis face the battle of his life as he untangles the mystery of the Trinity Project as it is managed by the smooth-talking lawyer Bruce Deeds, the cocky and unhinged Dr. Dennis Anderson, Abigail's husband; the charismatic evangelical pastor Luke Wright, and the stunning and intelligent Susan Chen. And in Halfway to Midnight all the action takes place over just one week in a fiery autumn haze in Big Sky country. Can western justice push back evil? Find out in this fast-paced suspense thriller packed with western color and historical facts.

Fred Barton and the Warlords' Horses of China

How an American Cowboy Brought the Old West to the Far East

By: Larry Weirather

In the years before World War I, Montana cowboy Fred Barton was employed by Czar Nicholas II to help establish a horse ranch--the largest in the world--in Siberia to supply the Russian military. Barton later assembled a group of American rodeo stars and drove horses across Mongolia for the war-lords of northern China, creating a 250,000 acre ranch in Shanxi Province. Along the way, Barton became part of an unofficial U.S. intelligence network in the Far East, bred a new type of horse from Russian, Mongolian and American stock and promoted the lifestyle of the open range cowboy. Returning to America, he married one of the wealthiest widows in the Southwest and hobnobbed with Western film stars at a time when Hollywood was constructing the modern myth of the Old West, just as open range cowboy life was disappearing.

John Fery

Artist of Glacier National Park and the American West

By: Larry Len Peterson,Brian W. Dippie

In John Fery's lifetime, more Americans saw his art in person than almost any other artist. Train depots, hotels, universities, ships, travel agencies, and corporations all proudly displayed his magnificent paintings. What was not familiar was the man behind these impressive landscape paintings not only of Glacier National Park but also many other vistas of the American West. This biography makes use of almost 300 illustrations that document a remarkable life while also presenting the people and times in which Fery lived. Born Johann Levy in 1859 to a well-to-do family from Hungary, Fery was smitten early on with painting the Alps. After the death of both of his parents when he was just a teenager, Johann sought formal art training in Vienna, Munich, and Düsseldorf. By the early 1880s he had changed his name to John Fery and was hired on by German immigrant painters to work on cycloramas in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Years later, in 1910 Louis Hill hired John Fery to paint the scenery of Glacier National Park. These paintings were used as promotional tools to entice tourists to ride the train to the park and stay at the chalets and lodges that the Great Northern Railway built from 1910 to 1915. When that highly successful commission ended, Fery headed to California and was hired by the Southern Pacific Railway to paint Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, and other views of California and Arizona. Thereafter, Fery wandered the West painting landscapes in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. John and Mary Fery lived for awhile in Salt Lake City where several dealers sold his paintings, and he garnered commissions from a number of patrons to not only paint the Wasatch Mountains, but also the canyon lands of Bryce and Zion. In 1925 Fery once again was hired to paint Glacier country, especially the area around the newly constructed Prince of Wales Hotel (1927) in Canada just north of Glacier National Park. Later, he moved to the Puget Sound area and spent his final days there before dying in 1934.
