Apache Jack: Native Visions & Stories

In the summer of 1993 the writer received word that his great grandmother on his father’s side, Mary Noriega, who had been thought of Hispanic origin, was in fact a full-blood Apache. While other family members subsequently disputed that report, it affirmed a deep empathy for the native peoples of this continent and led to a series of writings featuring native beliefs, culture and characters. Jack Random is the author of numerous novels including Wasichu: The Killing Spirit, Number Nine: The Adventures of Jake Jones and Ruby Daulton, A Patriot Dirge, Pawns to Players (The Stairway Scandal, A Match for the White House) and Hard Times: The Wrath of an Angry God. He has also penned a memoir (The Grand Canyon Zen Golf Tour), a collection of political essays (The Jazzman Chronicles: Volumes I-X), numerous plays and a second collection of short stories (Random Jack: Tales from Jazztown & Beyond).
