DOWNLOAD EBOOK →On a rainy New Years Day, I embarked on an adventure unlike any other. With just the belongings that fit behind my saddle, I mounted my horse Apollo and rode away from everything I knew and loved to explore America by horseback. The next four years would bring me to over 10,000 miles of roads and towns that I had never visited before and where I knew nobody. I would ride through all kinds of weather, in the mountains and across the plains, with near constant pain from the sheer level of exertion necessary to travel in the saddle, and as often on my own feet, day after day after day. I would only reach my goal of riding to all 48 contiguous states by the tenacity to keep going, the kindness of strangers, and a whole lot of luck.This collection of short stories and regional recipes tells but a small part of the many adventures Apollo and I experienced on our journey. This third part covers the Midwestern states from June to October 2018. Our story continues in the fourth collection: Northeast.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Uncovers the surprising history of Muslim life in the early American Midwest The American Midwest is often thought of as uniformly white, and shaped exclusively by Christian values. However, this view of the region as an unvarying landscape fails to consider a significant community at its very heart. Muslims of the Heartland uncovers the long history of Muslims in a part of the country where many readers would not expect to find them. Edward E. Curtis IV, a descendant of Syrian Midwesterners, vividly portrays the intrepid men and women who busted sod on the short-grass prairies of the Dakotas, peddled needles and lace on the streets of Cedar Rapids, and worked in the railroad car factories of Michigan City. This intimate portrait follows the stories of individuals such as farmer Mary Juma, pacifist Kassem Rameden, poet Aliya Hassen, and bookmaker Kamel Osman from the early 1900s through World War I, the Roaring 20s, the Great Depression, and World War II. Its story-driven approach places Syrian Americans at the center of key American institutions like the assembly line, the family farm, the dance hall, and the public school, showing how the first two generations of Midwestern Syrians created a life that was Arab, Muslim, and American, all at the same time. Muslims of the Heartland recreates what the Syrian Muslim Midwest looked, sounded, felt, and smelled like—from the allspice-seasoned lamb and rice shared in mosque basements to the sound of the trains on the Rock Island Line rolling past the dry goods store. It recovers a multicultural history of the American Midwest that cannot be ignored.
