Trickster Readers may remember the colorful, boufant-toupeed ex-Congressman Jim Traficant, who appears in the book's Epilogue: expelled from Congress by a 420-1 vote, sentenced to seven years in prison, welcomed home by a crowd of 1200 at Mr. Anthony's Banquet Hall in September 2009.

This is a page about: Stories about People in the Book

Dear Eileen,

Many of the Paiute people in Trickster: an anthropological memoir, are composites, amalgams of people on the two Yerington Paiute reservations in 1964.

Dear Eileen,

Dear Eileen,

In this section, I hope to have stories about people who appear in Trickster, or just about people from that time period-from the Numa, from Youngstown, and from Yerington. Here are a few photos of some of the people.  You're invited to contribute pictures or stories. I'll start off with a story about my father, who worked in a mill in Youngstown all his life.
