New Author, Cummingswill
be autographing new book
Delano Cummings, author of the
newly released MOON DASH WARRIOR
will be on the UNCP campus
during Lumbee Homecoming festivities.
He will autographing copies of
his novel. The novel is about Cummings'
experiences in Vietnam. It is
the personal story of a young Lumbee
Indian from Robeson County, who,
inspired by simple patriotism and a
straightforward devotion to duty, grew
up to become a United States Marine
in Vietnam.
The book is not a typical coming of
age story, for Delano Cummings, born
and raised in the land of the Lumbee
among his people, seems to have been
wise in the natural ways of the world
from an early age. Since the days of
his young boyhood, Cummings had
listened to the lessons of the l.umbee
elders and honed his instincts for survival
in the swamps and woods along
the banks of the Lumber River, lessons
and instjncts that would serve
him and his fellow Marines well in the
rice paddies and jungles of South
Vietnam.
The book sells for $22.00. The
author is looking forward to meeting
friends, new and old July 4th,
