What Was Lost Is Found
I decided to put On Promised Land out in print edition, with a few changes here and there. The cover is giving me fits. A single front image for an ebook doesn’t always translate to a good front-spine-back needed for a print project.
I also wanted to check a few details in my text, and looked for the pamphlet sent to me years ago by Tuskoma Brown Miller. Miller was one of the people instrumental in founding the Seminole Nation Museum in Wewoka, Oklahoma (~1974); I met him in 1983 and he encouraged me to write about the Seminole—especially the black Seminole. The pamphlet was a reprint of a lecture he had given at the Smithsonian in 1976. I couldn’t find it any where, and became resigned to the possibility that I accidentally tossed it when I recently did some major rearranging.
Yesterday, as I hummed a �49er song, I thumbed through books on the top shelf in my bedroom, and...there it was, tucked at the end of my Blue Cloud Quarterly collection. Those chapbooks, and this pamphlet are the same size, same color. But now I have it!
Hopefully, the cover for On Promised Land will handily fall in place, too.
