Prime Leaf: A Novel of the Kentucky Tobacco Wars

Just after the turn of the nineteenth century, we saw the only large-scale agricultural strike in American history and the onslaught of the most violent saga since the Civil War: the Kentucky tobacco wars, a colorful period of our history relatively unknown to most Americans today. We are all too familiar with the contemporary `tobacco wars,` but few people know of the blood that spilled and property destroyed when family farmers took rage over the low prices paid them by the rapidly domineering tobacco conglomerates; evocative of today`s struggles between small farmers and corporate agri-empires. Truly a story that wrestles with what Faulkner called `the human heart in conflict with itself, PRIME LEAF is the multi-generational drama that starts with the gripping murder of Harry Converse just after the Civil War. After witnessing his father`s murder, Boyd Converse comes of age amidst family struggles, ultimately pitting him against his younger brother who joins the Dark Tobacco District Planters` Association in their struggle against Duke Trust. The Possum Hunters (later, NIGHT RIDERS) are born and subsequently ravage the land burning barns and inflicting violence against farmers who refuse to cooperate, Boyd in toe. One night, the NightRiders flog Boyd`s brother and a family drama of epic proportion is set in motion: the conflict of a man defined by his violent actions yet pulled by family loyalty. In the spirit of Robert Penn Warren`s debut novel, NIGHT RIDER, the only other fictional account of this tragic period in American history, PRIME LEAF promises a spellbinding account of the struggle between family, land, and corporate America reminding us just how violent yet redemptive our history can be.

The Last Tobacco Shop in the World

It's the year 2040 and Anton Brick finds isolation on Rabbit Island more appealing than his job as a syrup monkey chasing fringe supplies of oil in Iraq. With the world under pressure from plagues and controlling government forces, Anton encounters a tobacco lawyer pitching a job on Jarangwa, a tiny slice of post-tsunami apocalyptica in the Andaman Sea. Putting further distance between himself and the challenge of his troubled relationships, Anton lands on autonomous Jarangwa inspired by the promise of a large salary, only to discover an enigmatic island governed by complex personalities and frightening personal ambitions. As told through the engaging, often comical impressions of Anton's unique first-person narrative, The Last Tobacco Shop in the World is off-beat future fiction that interprets several of today's most relevant modern issues with Orwellian-like zeal, producing a highly imaginative, entertaining story that is both richly poignant and darkly intense.

Tobacco Use by Native North Americans: Sacred Smoke and Silent Killer (C

Recently identified as a killer, tobacco has been the focus of health warnings, lawsuits, and political controversy. Yet many Native Americans continue to view tobacco--when used properly--as a life-affirming and sacramental substance that plays a significant role in Native creation myths and religious ceremonies. This definitive work presents the origins, history, and contemporary use (and misuse) of tobacco by Native Americans. It describes wild and domesticated tobacco species and how their cultivation and use may have led to the domestication of corn, potatoes, beans, and other food plants. It also analyzes many North American Indian practices and beliefs, including the concept that tobacco is so powerful and sacred that the spirits themselves are addicted to it. The book presents medical data revealing the increasing rates of commercial tobacco use by Native youth and the rising rates of death among Native American elders from lung cancer, heart disease, and other tobacco-related illnesses. Finally, this volume argues for the preservation of traditional tobacco use in a limited, sacramental manner while criticizing the use of commercial tobacco.
