Description To Books People of the Weeping Eye (Moundville Duology #1)

People called Old White the "Seeker," a man never long with any people or place. For years he had wandered, leaving a trail of war, wonder, and broken love in his wake. Now he is headed home, called back by visions of chaos, blood, and fire. But there is more to the Seeker than most know. He is a man driven by a secret so terrible it may topple the greatest city in North America.
 
When the far-off Katsinas told Old White it was time to go home, he had no idea that his journey would take him to the head of the Mississippi, where he would encounter the mystical Two Petals--a  youngsoul woman obsessed with Spirit Power, who lives life backwards. But before Two Petals can find her way out of the future, Old White must heal the rift in her tortured soul. To do so, he will need the help of Trader, a loner consumed by his own dark past. 

 

People of the Weeping Eye is an epic set against the might and majesty of the great Mississippian Chiefdoms. The Gears have breathed new life into North America's forgotten heritage with a sweeping saga that will forever change your appreciation of our country.

Evaluation Of Books People of the Weeping Eye (Moundville Duology #1)

In People of the Weeping Eye, the Gears take us along on one of the last big adventures for the elder called Old White or the Seeker. A healer, a magician or a trader, is always traveling, never staying in one place for too long, trying to forget the terrible secret he holds. It has haunted him since boyhood. He now finds himself traveling back east after dreaming with kachinas in the southwest. He is in search of a young woman who has been calling to him in his dreams, seeking his help and

An interesting story with intriguing people--but just too many scenes of torture, rape and murder for me. I'll probably read the sequel because I want to know what becomes of the Seeker, Trader and the other main characters. I'm just hoping it's at least a bit less grim a read.

As always with the gears, a well written tale that stays faithful to a good telling and an uplifting moral. Makes one appreciate the strengths, weaknesses, and stupidity of modern society as well as those of history. In terms of its importance as a story of pre-historical Alabama, surpasses Gone With The Wind. As anthropology fiction definitely deserves a Hugo.

Book one of a two parter. Prehistorical novel set in the Mississippian Culture in Meso-America. Well written and entertaining, combining archaeological facts and spiritual assumptions of the people living the parts in the book. I read this book and it's sequel captured in the time living the parts of the characters. Good read.

As always the First Native American series is complicated and rich in Native American lore and customs. This one takes place in the Mississippi Valley and Tennessee and is a two-parter. The beginning present story is about Mary Wet Bear who lives in Oklahoma and makes pottery the old way. Every year she drives to Tuscaloosa, Alabama to sell her pottery at the Moundville Native American Festival. This year a young boy questions her about what makes an Indian. And she introduces him to the

I love reading about older cultures and I always enjoy these books. This one was no exception.The characters were interesting and engaging. The plot was diverse and had some interesting twists and turns.The characters were so different and each set of characters had their own subplots. At first I couldn't see where the authors were going with some of it and it was neat to see things start coming together and making sense. It is a two parter! I can't wait to read the 2nd book!

I've read and enjoyed all of the Gears' First North Americans novels. In this book they achieved their norm of recreating and giving life to ancient societies and cultures and providing readers in the twenty-first century with an idea of what Native Americans experienced well before Europeans arrived en masse. However, unlike all of the other stand-alone novels in this series, People of the Weeping Eye is the first half of a larger story to be completed in a later novel. This book lays the
