Download or read book The Chinook Indians written by Robert H. Ruby and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1976 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chinook Indians, who originally lived at the mouth of the Columbia River in present-day Oregon and Washington, were experienced traders long before the arrival of white men to that area. When Captain Robert Gray in the ship Columbia Rediviva, for which the river was named, entered the Columbia in 1792, he found the Chinooks in an important position in the trade system between inland Indians and those of the Northwest Coast. The system was based on a small seashell, the dentalium, as the principal medium of exchange. The Chinooks traded in such items as sea otter furs, elkskin armor which could withstand arrows, seagoing canoes hollowed from the trunks of giant trees, and slaves captured from other tribes. Chinook women held equal status with the men in the trade, and in fact the women were preferred as traders by many later ships' captains, who often feared and distrusted the Indian men. The Chinooks welcomed white men not only for the new trade goods they brought, but also for the new outlets they provided Chinook goods, which reached Vancouver Island and as far north as Alaska. The trade was advantageous for the white men, too, for British and American ships that carried sea otter furs from the Northwest Coast to China often realized enormous profits. Although the first white men in the trade were seamen, land-based traders set up posts on the Columbia not long after American explorers Lewis and Clark blazed the trail from the United States to the Pacific Northwest in 1805. John Jacob Astor's men founded the first successful white trading post at Fort Astoria, the site of today's Astoria, Oregon, and the North West Company and the Hudson's Bay Company soon followed into the territory. As more white men moved into the area, the Chinooks began to lose their favored position as middlemen in the trade. Alcohol; new diseases such as smallpox, influenza, and venereal disease; intertribal warfare; and the growing number of white settlers soon led to the near extinction of the Chinooks. By 1&51, when the first treaty was made between them and the United States government, they were living in small, fragmented bands scattered throughout the territory. Today the Chinook Indians are working to revive their tribal traditions and history and to establish a new tribal economy within the white man's system.
Download or read book Vietnam by Chinook written by Edward Corlew and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like many other young men during the Vietnam War, Ed Corlew enlisted in hopes of having some influence regarding assignment--safety and training. Instead he found himself in the dangerous door gunner position and, soon after, the crew chief aboard a CH-47 Chinook, 15 miles from the DMZ in 1967 and 1968. Assigned to the famed 1st Cavalry Division, Corlew was shot down three times: in the Battle of Hue, the Battle of Quang Tri, and the A Shau Valley. This memoir began both as a journal and as counselor-recommended therapy for PTSD. He earned four bronze service stars for his service (an estimated 1000 flying hours) during the war's bloodiest year, enduring enemy mortar and rocket attacks. Engaging, frank, and full of action, Corlew describes his many combat experiences as well as the emotional effects--all through the lens of his Christian faith.

From metal fragments and dusty artifacts, she pieces together a story about a settlement situated in today’s picturesque Glenbow Provincial Park. Chronicling the development of ranching, village life, industry, and the Canadian Pacific Railway, Alberta’s Cornerstone is an engaging and authoritative history that reads like an archaeological detective story. As Peyerl dispels archaeological myths, explains scientific techniques, and shares the excitement of unearthing lost histories, she introduces readers to a colourful array of characters who once lived at Glenbow, including a local embezzler, Alberta’s first graduate nurse, a Canadian soccer champion, an acclaimed mathematician, and a member of an international spy agency. Written for the general public, the detective-like attention to detail of this carefully annotated book will also appeal to historical scholars. Beautifully illustrated with modern colour photographs and many historic photographs (including fifteen previously unpublished), Alberta’s Cornerstone brings the ghosts of Glenbow to life.

Download or read book Mr Nobody written by Michael J. & Mary Ellen Rasmussen and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in rural Wisconsin on a dairy farm, Michael Rasmussen learned the importance of working hard at an early age. He was one of twelve children and was responsible for chores that contributed to the family's livelihood. Living in a small town didn't stop Michael from dreaming of a life on the road, traveling and seeing all the wonders of the world. When Michael dreamed of seeing the world, he hadn't envisioned seeing it while fighting in a war. However, in 1968, he enlisted in the army during the Vietnam War. Michael found himself a driver in convoys, stationed in Long Binh, Vietnam. Instead of sights full of wonder, Michael, or 'Raz' as his army buddies knew him, saw destruction in his three tours served. Michael watched countless friends killed in convoy attacks and came very near death himself. Once he returned from the war, Michael was not the same. His home did not feel like home anymore, and it certainly wasn't a welcome homecoming. Fueled by his wanderlust, Michael became a trucker. He fell in love with the business, but the life of a trucker didn't always cater to families especially when dealing with demons of the past. After three broken marriages, Michael married the love of his life, Mary Ellen. Together, they faced one of the most difficult obstacles of Michael's life: multiple myeloma, an incurable bone marrow cancer. Thirty years after leaving Vietnam, Michael faced the consequences of Agent Orange. Michael's story is one of strength, a story of encouragement to beat seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Discover that Michael isn't just a Mr. Nobody, and learn your own lessons from his stories of hard knocks.
