Book excerpt: This volume is an empathetic work based on seven years of reporting from the front lines of the culture wars that continue to divide America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Narrative of the Battle of Cowan's Ford: February 1st, 1781 Having seen the following most valuable and interesting narrative quoted very often in "King's Mountain and its Heroes," written by Lyman C. Draper, L. L. D., of Wisconsin, I wrote the Doctor with a view of obtaining the original manuscript if possible, but was unable to procure it. He however very generously instrusted to me the following copy which he had himself "carefully transcribed" from the original paper in his hands, in January 1874, and which had been sent to him by Dr. J. F. E. Hardy, of Asheville, North Carolina. The original manuscript had been placed in Dr. Hardy's possession by Wm. L. Henry, of Buncombe County, a son of Robert Henry - William L. Henry is still living. In a note to "King's Mountain and its Heroes," page 259, is the following brief sketch of Robert Henry, who was wise enough to preserve this contribution to our Revolutionary history - to wit: "Mr. Henry was born in a rail pen, in then Rowan, now Iredell county, North Carolina, January 10th 1765. Full of patriotism though young, he shared in the trials and perils of the Revolution, and in due time recovered from the severe wounds he received at King's Mountain. In 1795, he was one of the party who ran the boundary line between North Carolina and Tennessee. He subsequently studied law, and practiced his profession many years in Buncombe County. He served in the House of Commons in 1833 and 1834. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Securing Sex written by Benjamin A. Cowan and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2016-03-02 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this history of right-wing politics in Brazil during the Cold War, Benjamin Cowan puts the spotlight on the Cold Warriors themselves. Drawing on little-tapped archival records, he shows that by midcentury, conservatives--individuals and organizations, civilian as well as military--were firmly situated in a transnational network of right-wing cultural activists. They subsequently joined the powerful hardline constituency supporting Brazil's brutal military dictatorship from 1964 to 1985. There, they lent their weight to a dictatorship that, Cowan argues, operationalized a moral panic that conflated communist subversion with manifestations of modernity, coalescing around the crucial nodes of gender and sexuality, particularly in relation to youth, women, and the mass media. The confluence of an empowered right and a security establishment suffused with rightist moralism created strongholds of anticommunism that spanned government agencies, spurred repression, and generated attempts to control and even change quotidian behavior. Tracking how limits to Cold War authoritarianism finally emerged, Cowan concludes that the record of autocracy and repression in Brazil is part of a larger story of reaction against perceived threats to traditional views of family, gender, moral standards, and sexuality--a story that continues in today's culture wars.

Download or read book Milvian Bridge AD 312 written by Ross Cowan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-07-20 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In AD 312, the Roman world was divided between four emperors. The most ambitious was Constantine, who sought to eliminate his rivals and reunite the Empire. His first target was Maxentius, who held Rome, the symbolic heart of the Empire. Inspired by a dream sent by the Christian God, at the Milvian Bridge region just north of Rome, he routed Maxentius' army and pursued the fugitives into the river Tiber. The victory secured Constantine's hold on the western half of the Roman Empire and confirmed his Christian faith, but many details of this famous battle remain obscured. This new volume identifies the location of the battlefield and explains the tactics Constantine used to secure a victory that triggered the fundamental shift from paganism to Christianity.

Download or read book Maori in the Great War written by James Cowan and published by . This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Maori form a significant proportion of the modern New Zealand Army, and Maori officers have achieved the very highest commands, Their unique culture is deeply embedded in its tradition and daily routines; celebrated by Maori (indigenous) and pakeha (non-indigenous) soldiers alike. The exploits of the 28th (Maori) Battalion in WWll - peerless in attack - are well-remembered. Not so well known is the major Maori contribution to the Allied cause in the Great War. Maori were quick to respond in 1914. Over five times as many as the specified contingent of 500 men volunteered, and that number of places was allocated on a tribal basis. As the centennial of the start of WWl approaches, it is timely to revise and republish Cowans 1926 work."--Publisher's description.
