I loved making these origami paper cranes when I was a child. I was taught by Japanese friend of the family when we were stationed in Japan. It's a small, calming, creative action, taking a piece of paper and transforming it into something else.
Now at home we are seeing graphs and counters showing casualties and deaths of our soldiers in Iraq in ever growing numbers. We aren't being told of civilian casualties or deaths. In fact, we are told that we aren't even bothering to try to keep track of civilian casualties and deaths.
'And Should We Die' is a historical novel, written by Arthur Ruger, with a compassionate look at a little known tragedy in American pioneer history; the Willie-Martin handcart trek (the last of the handcart pilgrimages) with incredulous hardships that took so many lives. A novel about faith and courage in the Old American West.
