Stones from the Creek shines a light on some lesser-known stories of resistance against racial and class power at the beginning of the twentieth century. The heroes include a Black army veteran, discharged after the so-called Brownsville Raid; an Apache leader trying to find a way for his people to survive; and a New Mexican Territorial assemblyman whose constituents have been dispossessed by Anglo ranchers. Many are actual historical figures, now forgotten. Rick Levine brings you into their worlds and lets you hear their voices. You end up caring deeply for these people and their struggles. This is the hidden history of the United States, the history that cannot be found anywhere else. And it is the story of David, picking up whatever is at hand to fight the Giant.
