Raney "Redeye: A Western" (Reviewed by Judi Clark MAY 15, 1999) Despite the humor, Edgerton is covering some serious territory. In 1857, 120 Tennessee emigrants heading for California were massacred in the the South West corner of Utah. The event became known as the Mountain Meadows Massacre . Although the Mormons tried to make it look like the Indians were to blame, this massacre was led and executed by the Mormons. Fortunately for the Mormons, this event missed the history books because of the Civil War. It's interesting technique to juxtapose such a startling event with this a light hearted setting. The second story line is nearly as upsetting as we follow the first expedition into the

Transmissions From Grudge Harbor and Beyond Solo: My Adventure in the Air by Clyde Edgerton , Algonquin Books, $23.95, 276 pages. By ROBERT LALASZ [This review originally appeared in the on 18 September 2005.] Clyde Edgerton’s "Solo," a memoir about the North Carolina novelist’s abiding infatuation with flying, struggles with this dichotomy. A decorated Air Force pilot who flew reconnaissance in the Vietnam War, Edgerton wants to indict the military for exploiting its troops’ teenage notions of glory and gallantry. But his 8-year-old’s excitement at the stuff of war flight — visored helmets, cockpits that fit like favorite jeans, or afterburner takeoffs to 15,000 feet in 30 seconds — keep getting in the way. It’s a half-hearted disillusionment, because he’s still in love. In retrospect — as retrospect tends to do — Edgerton’s attraction to flight seems fated. An asthmatic child, he gravitated toward danger with the encouragement of his mother, who toughened young Clyde up by taking him to funerals and showing him the state prison electric chair and pushing him back out the front door to fight with a bully who had chased him home. "She encouraged independence," says Edgerton, with a characteristic understatement that veers in this book toward the subterranean.
