The Untimely Death and Afterlife of Captain James Munroe

About the Book

A writer inherits an old home in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Plumas County but finds it it's still occupied. The occupant, the restless spirit of a United States Army Captain who was ordered to lead a detachment of Cherokee on a forced removal to Oklahoma in 1838. Named Munroe-Who-Can-Not-Die by an old medicine woman, court martialed for a traitor and deserter and hanged as a result of prejudicial justice, he's waited 158 years to clear his name by telling his story; the story of an immoral and illegal campaign to exterminate the native people of North America.

About the Author

Mary Nation lives in the Sierra Nevada Mountains with her supersized 11 year-old German shepherd, Cisco who is, coincidentally, a seriously trained Nap Dog, skilled in the arts of lolling about uselessly, excessive, high pitched whining to illicit back massages as well as being able to lick himself in places that are impossible for even the most limber of humans. Miss Nation is the proud mother of 26 year-old daughter who is extremely well-educated, intelligent and highly skilled in several thrill-seeking adventures that have taken several years, if not decades, off her mother’s life. Miss Nation has a Bachelor’s Degree in English from the University of San Diego in duh, like San Diego dude (Hey Sr. Hotz), a Master’s Degree in Criminal Justice with an emphasis in Public Safety from Cappella University in Minneapolis, and an Honorary Degree from the University of Saint Blarney’s in general BS with an emphasis in Parental Guilt Management (PGM) (Yes. I made that up). Her parents are, to say the least, very proud.
