An eleven-year-old Navajo boy is taken by force from his Arizona reservation home and bussed to Fort Sill Indian School near Lawton and Fort Sill, Oklahoma, in 1949. The U.S. law requires the Navajo children to attend school in a federally operated boarding school. The boy is treated roughly at his capture and on the bus trip. He vows to escape from the school and walk/run back the eight hundred miles back to his home, realizing he has no money and does not trust the white man. He is forced to rely on his survival skills. He makes several friends at the school. However, in the spring, he leaves at night and starts his journey home. The challenges he faces at the school and also his journey and how he overcomes those challenges are detailed. When he finally reaches his home area, he hears crying from several people and creeps through the sagebrush to see what is happening. The same government agents who seized him are trying to wrestle an eight-year-old girl from her mother and grandmother and put her on the bus. But while that happens, the boy slips unnoticed on to the bus and invites all the children to follow him, and he will hide and protect them until the agents have gone and stopped looking for them. Twenty-one of the children come with him, and he hikes for two days, covering his trails, until he reaches an old unknown cliff dwelling that he and his family had stayed at many times. It is well hidden. For close to a year, the children survive in the cliff dwelling, learning Indian skills from the boy and school skills from a twelve-year-old girl. Meanwhile, a large political battle takes place for many months, and finally, the law is changed so the Navajo children can stay on the reservation to learn the white man's ways and education. When all the papers have been signed by the Congress and the president, the children's group is able to return home. A large dinner is planned by the tribal council for their return. At this dinner, the boy, Jeff White Cloud, has his name formally changed by the tribal leaders to Nasha Bi³ Hoga, He Who Walks Alone.

Heroes are not made; they're born with the gift of having special powers that many of us only dream about. Wrongly judged not only by authorities but also by his own father, Fabian Barna's life dramatically changes after being wrongly convicted and jailed for a crime he didn't commit before becoming a hero in the Vietnam War. A Hero Walks Alone tells of the hardships the Barna family are forced to endure after being persecuted by the Aconi family, which began as soon as they planted their feet on American soil and continued through to the adulthood. This story takes you through a journey of how (against all odds) the Barna family survived years of torment and Mafia-related incidents, before becoming outstanding citizens. It tells of the transformation of Fabian Barna from once being a mixed-up street kid to becoming a true American hero and how he discovers love and romance in spite of the brutality he witnesses during his growing years. It also reminds us of the ever-growing supply of cocaine and assorted drugs being introduced into our streets and how Special Agent Peter Barna (Fabian's brother) plays his part by introducing new technology to Central Intelligence, routing plans of criminals aspiring to become the next Al Capone. Finally, A Hero Walks Alone tells of the many twists and turns played out by two brothers as Fabian and Peter Barna combine to avenge the death of their murdered parents as they pursue, capture, and eliminate their long time archenemy, Tosawi Aconi, in what can only be described as the most bizarre ending of a person's life.

This book contains 25 essays about English words, and how they are defined, valued, and discussed. The book is divided into four sections. The first section, "Language Lore," examines some of the myths and misconceptions that affect attitudes toward language--and towards English in particular. The second section, "Language Usage," examines some specific questions of meaning and usage. Section 3, "Language Trends," examines some controversial trends in English vocabulary, and some developments too new to have received comment before. The fourth section, "Language Politics," treats several aspects of linguistic politics, from special attempts to deal with the ethnic, religious, or sex-specific elements of vocabulary to the broader issues of language both as a reflection of the public consciousness and the U.S. Constitution and as a refuge for the most private forms of expression.
