Download or read book Stories of American Life and Adventure written by Edward Eggleston and published by IndyPublish.com. This book was released on 1895 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1895. American novelist and historian, Eggleston's novels depicting early life in southern Indiana have been widely read. The design of this volume is laid out in the Preface: This book is intended to serve three main purposes. One of these is to make school reading pleasant by supplying matter simple and direct in style, and sufficiently interesting and exciting to hold the reader's attention in a state of constant wakefulness; that is, to keep the mind in the condition in which instruction can be received with the greatest advantage. A second object is to cultivate an interest in narratives of fact by selecting chiefly incidents full of action, such as are attractive to the minds of boys and girls whose pulses are yet quick with youthful life. The early establishment of a preference for stories of this sort is the most effective antidote to the prevalent vice of reading inferior fiction for mere stimulation. But the principal aim of this book is to make the reader acquainted with American life and manners in other times. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is one of its kind, written by an immigrant who experienced firsthand the real life of an immigrant in America. It exposes the truth about the real struggles some immigrants endure when they initially set foot in American soil. The reader will be intimated on how difficult things could be for some immigrants, especially those who go to America with the preconceived idea that America is the land free of struggles. Those who plan to go to America thinking that money is easy to come by may be royally disappointed after spending a short time in America. The author writes from personal experience of the difficulties she encountered, some of which could have derailed her goals and aspirations. In spite of all odds, her courage, perseverance, and tenacity helped her overcome and become successful in achieving the American dream. In the pages of this book, the author passionately describes examples of various adversities she endured, including racism and discrimination. Racism and discrimination were and still are endemic in American society. The author emphasizes the importance of hard work, believing in oneself, having faith in God, and persistence as the factors that helped her navigate her challenges successfully. This book is a good resource for anyone who has plans to visit or emigrate to America for any reason for an extended period of time. The reader will be well prepared and pleasantly surprised if he or she fails to experience any challenges similar to what the author has described...

Download or read book America s First Adventure in China written by John R Haddad and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-29 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1784, when Americans first voyaged to China, they confronted Chinese authorities who were unaware that the United States even existed. Nevertheless, a long, complicated, and fruitful trade relationship was born after American traders, missionaries, diplomats, and others sailed to China with lofty ambitions: to acquire fabulous wealth, convert China to Christianity, and even command a Chinese army. In America's First Adventure in China, John Haddad provides a colorful history of the evolving cultural exchange and interactions between these countries. He recounts how American expatriates adopted a pragmatic attitude-as well as an entrepreneurial spirit and improvisational approach-to their dealings with the Chinese. Haddad shows how opium played a potent role in the dreams of Americans who either smuggled it or opposed its importation, and he considers the missionary movement that compelled individuals to accept a hard life in an alien culture. As a result of their efforts, Americans achieved a favorable outcome—they established a unique presence in China—and cultivated a relationship whose complexities continue to grow.
