"A good story of a 'maybe' Bigfoot capture that occurred in the Big Hole area near Butte Montana is found in chapter 7 of Wardner’s autobiography, entitled 'The Wild Man of Big Hole.'” -Bigfoottales Blog, Nov. 1, 2012"Peculiarly American, a chronicle of pluck and courage." -New York Times Saturday Review, 1900."Wardner is the best-known miner from Cape Nome to Arizona, and his fame spans the continent from the Golden Gate to Sandy Hook." - New York Press, 1900"An interesting Western character sketches his own career." - New York Evening Sun, 1900"Wardner was a true soldier of fortune whose cheerful optimism was known in every mining camp the world around." -History of the City of Spokane (1912)A former fur trader and one of the most persistent and tireless searchers after hidden treasures in all parts of the world, commonly known as the silver lead king of the Coeur d'Alenes, James Wardner (1846-1905) was a widely known as mining prospector and an eccentric man with operations extending from the Klondike to the Isthmus.In 1900, this unique western miner, cat rancher, town boomer, city father, and man of legend from the Rockies to Washington, published his autobiography entitled "Jim Wardner, of Wardner, Idaho."Heading out west in the late 1860s, Wardner's first mining adventures were in Arizona, Utah, Deadwood, South Dakota. Later he grew oranges in Los Angeles, worked as a freigter in Idaho, and was a Milwaukie butter salesman. He went back to Idaho at news of gold. In Eagle City he had a freighting business. At last he became a partner in the famous Bunker Hill Mine, which made him wealthy. From there he pursued various business and mining ventures in various locations including British Columbia, Alaska, Africa, and Panama, as detailed in his highly entertaining life story.In describing a possible big foot or sasquatch creature which had been captured and kept in a barn, and would later star in his freak show, he writes: "This creature was short, well built, and his body was covered with hair of the length and shade of a black bear's, had eyebrows fully four inches long, sticking nearly straight out, behind which glistened as bright a pair of round, quick, glittering brown eyes as were ever seen in ape or chimpanzee."Wardner would eventually feel sorry for the man-like creature and allow it to "return to 'where the green grass grew' and the 'cold water ran' and fresh rabbits were plentiful, and where no 'devil's trumpet' crazed him."In describing a close scrape while working as a saloon-keeper in Deadwood, Wardner writes: "As scoundrelly a looking fellow as I had ever seen in the Hills walked in, apparently half drunk, and called for a drink. Just then I noticed that he had the handle of a big dirk knife in his right palm, the blade of the knife being concealed by his coat sleeve. Before I had time to even grab an ice pick he made a lunge at me…."Indian attacks were still common in the frontier regions travelled by Wardner; he describes one such attack near Deadwood: "I saw off to my left a party of Indians who had seen me and were evidently intent upon cutting off my trail before I could get to the crossing at Deadman's Creek. The Indians were just beginning to be troublesome. I knew I had an extra good bronco, and I also knew that I had to make the crossing before being overtaken or it would be all up with Jim Wardner. There were eight or ten Indians in the party…."Wardner eventually moved in the late 1890s to the Kootenay district of eastern British Columbia, almost due north of his previous stomping grounds in Idaho. Here another town was named for him — Wardner, British Columbia.

"I am here to tell you that the declining American standard of living has been PLANNED from the beginning...at the highest levels of American government -- a plan to fail, a plan to create insecurity and uncertainty, a plan to make the American people serfs in the New World Order!" The PLANNED DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA explains in detail: *Who is responsible for our failing economy *The secret plan behind the massive job elimination that America is now experiencing *Why the supposed "free" press hides the truth from the American public *When the control of our money supply was taken away from our government and illegally handed over to an international group of private banking interests *How the great depression of 1929-1931 was planned in secret by the same power structure which is now promoting a "New World Order" *The common thread linking the Kennedy and Lincoln assassinations and the attempted assassinations of two other U.S. Presidents *The carefully orchestrated effort to lower the moral standards of the American public and how it weakens resistence to government tyranny In this fascinating book, Dr. James W. Wardner exposes the evil forces behind the "New World Order" and reveals the unholy alliances that are bringing about THE PLANNED DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA.

Bertie was a big “hairy man” from the Angali Mountains to the south of Papunya. His mob had been called Yipandipandi since the Dreaming. But now the local blackfellas, that “Honey Ant mob,” called him Pungalungu. His “hairy” mob was sort of distant relations of the Papunya Pintupi and Luritja blackfellas. Now Bertie Jangala Pungalungu was tired. He had just walked all the way from his home, down from the Mountains to the Papunya community. Already he was missing his wife, Lipirinya. He had a lot of Walcha, (relatives), in Papunya, but decided not to visit them. His relatives would just “humbug” him too much, and demand all his “sitdown” money. He needed it for his trip. Pungalungu was going to Canberra. He was going to see the Prime Minister of Australia. Do you know why he was going to see the Prime Minister of Australia?Australian author and teacher, James Ward is uniquely placed to write about indigenous issues, having lived and worked in many remote Aboriginal communities. This deftly crated story of Pungalungu is much more than a tale of a man in search of a better way, it is a wonderful learning device with carefully selected questions and fun exercises. It will prove an invaluable tool for teachers working with indigenous children.
