Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He attended Smithville Seminary as well as the Biblical School at Whitestown, New York. In 1850 he became principal for a year of Geauga seminary, Chester County, Ohio. The same year he became one of the editors of The Morning Star and moved back to Rhode Island to become a successor to Martin Cheney. In December 1852, he published the biography of Martin Cheney. After becoming the pastor of the Olneyville church he added nearly 300 to the Sunday school in his first year. He was very active in the establishing of The Free Will Baptist Quarterly In Rhode Island and was made one of the editorial Council of five. After the editor, Rev. D, M. Graham, he was the principal working force substainer of that publication for many years. After resigning the Olneyville church, he received a call from the Roger Williams church, Providence, and after six months of vacation, he returned to that church giving the best years of his life. In 1866, he attended the General Baptist Association in England as a delegate from the General Conference of Free Will Baptist. After the death of William Burr, the board of the printing establishment were united in asking the Roger Williams church to release him to become editor of the denominational publication. Twice he reluctantly refused the presidency of Hillsdale College in Michigan and was a part of the moving of The Morning Star to Boston. It was in 1875 that his last editorial appeared shortly after the General Conference had been held at the Roger Williams church. He was buried at the same way Cemetery in Cranston, Rhode Island, close to the remains of Martin Cheney. The discourse at his funeral was delivered by the Rev. J. H. Brewster. His biography was ably written by Rev. W. H. Bowen.
Download or read book African Adventures and Misadventures written by William York and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bill York, who recently passed away, once said, “Most guiding for big game is pretty unadventuresome work.” However, when there is excitement, it comes in spades, and Bill York had his share of unusual encounters. From his early days in Kenya when he and a companion trekked alone through the desert of the NFD and had to fend off marauding lions that ate his caravan ponies to encountering a Mau Mau terrorist who took potshots at his victims with a stolen elephant gun, York gives an entertaining account of his life. York was there when the RAF bombed the rain forest to rid Kenya of the dreaded Mau Mau, and he explains how the bombing went awry—very few Mau Mau were killed but plenty of wounded and dangerously short-tempered buffalo were left to wreck havoc in the countryside. He gives an insider’s view to the funny and outrageous behavior of some his famous acquaintances--Eric Rundgren, Ken Dawson, Frank Broadbent, and Iodine Ionides. PH Eric Rundgren, for example, was so interested in getting himself good elephant tusks that he would scout out the best tuskers for himself and guide his clients to less desirable trophies! There are stories about how York found a cache of rhino and elephant ivory that J. A. Hunter had stashed before his death, and how John Boyes managed to exasperate British authorities with his dastardly deeds. There is an entire chapter on hunting giant forest hogs because Bill York spent a lot of time in their habitat, and there are encounters and adventures with crop-raiding elephant and ghost buffalo that could be seen but not killed. Then there is the story of a client who was so huge that York was not sure he could get the man a single trophy. As with York’s previous book, the pages are loaded with interesting anecdotes, fascinating tales, and well-written prose that give insight into East Africa and its more famous characters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surprising connections between the American frontier and empire in southern Africa, and the people who participated in both This book begins in an era when romantic notions of American frontiering overlapped with Gilded Age extractive capitalism. In the late nineteenth century, the U.S.-Mexican borderlands constituted one stop of many where Americans chased capitalist dreams beyond the United States. Crisscrossing the American West, southern Africa, and northern Mexico, Andrew Offenburger examines how these frontier spaces could glitter with grandiose visions, expose the flawed and immoral strategies of profiteers, and yet reveal the capacity for resistance and resilience that indigenous people summoned when threatened. Linking together a series of stories about Boer exiles who settled in Mexico, a global network of protestant missionaries, and adventurers involved in the parallel displacements of indigenous peoples in Rhodesia and the Yaqui Indians in Mexico, Offenburger situates the borderlands of the Mexican North and the American Southwest within a global system, bound by common actors who interpreted their lives through a shared frontier ideology.
