A Tale of Adventure, Friendship, and Cultural Preservation

At its core, New Yesterdays is an adventure, but it’s also a story of friendship and cultural preservation. Jim’s journey with the Cherokee and Seminole tribes not only highlights the struggles these Native American nations faced but also showcases their resilience, intelligence, and the depth of their cultural traditions. Throughout the novel, real historical figures like Chief John Ross and President John Quincy Adams are woven into the narrative, giving readers a vivid sense of the political tensions and broken promises of the time.

As Jim introduces the Cherokee and Seminole to future knowledge and technology, the story presents a “what if” scenario, imagining how history might have unfolded differently. Through these changes, New Yesterdays reimagines the sovereignty and strength of the Native American nations, offering a powerful and thought-provoking commentary on the impact of colonization and the importance of self-determination.

Available at Amazon, as well as your favorite book outlets. Coming soon, an Audio Book and a Spanish translation!

About Ol' Big Jim

Jim L Wright has been a storekeeper, an embalmer, a hospital orderly, and a pathology medical coder, and through it all, a teller of tall tales. Many of his stories, like his first book, New Yesterdays, are set in his hometown of Piedmont, Alabama. For seven years he lived in the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world, Amman, Jordan where he spent his time trying to visit every one of the thousands of Ammani coffee shops and scribbling in his ever-present notebook. These days he and his husband, Zeek, live in a cozy little house in Leeds, Alabama. He’s still scribbling in his notebooks when he isn’t gardening or refinishing a lovely bit of furniture. His book, New Yesterdays, can be found at Amazon US, Amazon UK, Smashwords, and Barnes and Noble.
