Tah-hy! I jerked my head up as I heard my name. Tah-hy! They are coming!

On June 17, 1877, gunshots marked the start of war--one that swept twelve-year-old Tah-hy (Chief Joseph's daughter) and her people into a harrowing journey across the American West. Relentlessly pursued, they endured multiple battles, cold, hunger, and death. Eventually, after months of exile and heartbreak, they began their path to a new way of life.

Based on actual events and narrated by Tah-hy's youthful voice, this biographical novel is intended for young adults, but will also interest older readers. The story presents many aspects of the Nez Perce Dreamer culture and reminds us of what was lost when they were overpowered and displaced.

She was an archaeology student destined to have the dirty fingernails associated with digs. He was the same as they both attended the same classes in college. Over a period of several years, she became a super model and then rose from the high fashion runways to the top of the company that hired her. It was recognized that she was to become the top operations chief that caused the explosive growth and profit of the company. In a company shake-up, she emerged with 51% ownership and thereby a billionaire. His passion was the science of archaeology. He became an expert in his field and received international acclaim. They married each other while still in college and were divorced not long afterwards.

Much later, she formed a partnership with her ex-husband whereby she made huge charitable contributions to their archaeological ambitions.

The Vikings roamed Scandinavia, first in trade, and then in marauding. In the 7th to the 11th centuries, the Vikings became the dominant power from the Volga westwards, across Europe and then across the Atlantic in the Arctic. They were known for placing settlements on the Faroes, on Iceland, on Greenland and also on Newfoundland. The author and many others believe they placed settlements further south than Newfoundland, which placed them in America more than five centuries before Columbus. In following the adventures of the Vikings, we speculate the routes of their expansions.

Their inquisitive nature sent them to all parts of Europe and much of America. Since this story follows them, it has something approaching a historical travelogue. The underlying explorations define the Vikings and who they were. This makes the case for their further settlements, perhaps as far from Newfoundland as Long Island and Quebec.

There are two fundamental economic systems in the world. These are autocracy and capitalism. Autocracy means rule by one person or a small group. Power is concentrated here. Autocracy usually leads to murder on a mass scale as seen with Nazism as in Germany or Communism as in Russia. This propensity for state murder disqualifies this as a viable ideology. Sooner or later, the masses clamber over the walls and dispose of the autocracies. The mill that keeps capitalism turning is technology. This has been true since about 1776 or the country's founding, first for the military market, and then for the general market. Today's technology is based on the personal computer and the cell phone that combines power, communications or electronics and computers. The argument is made that an Information Revolution (shortened to Inforev) has been underway since 1980, paralleling the Industrial Revolution. It is argued that electricity is the greatest innovation of all time and has brought us all to wealth and advanced culture. This story develops the history of electronics that has spawned most of today's innovations. For instance, today's hand-held devices house batteries for mobile power, microscopic communications and computer functions as will be developed.

The book is about a military family during WWII through the Cold War. Their background and history touches the highlights of WWII, then winnows its history down to that of the Cold War and an over-flight. One recognizes and develops a metaphor with the Rime of the Ancient Mariner, a lyrical ballad or poem that captures both the exaltation and the misery of their lives.

Charlie joined the Air Force in 1941 and later married Charlotte Lee. Jackson, her brother, joined the Navy in 1947. Both became officer pilots and flew intelligence aircraft during the Cold War, and both became intelligence officers. Their ages made one a veteran of both wars while the other itched to be a veteran of WWII but had missed it. When Jackson joins a China over-flight, he causes a mortal crash that eventually drives him mad, just as the ship did to the Ancient Mariner.
