Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a great deal of information on the native peoples of the United States, which exists largely in national publications. Since much of Native American history occurred before statehood, there is a need for information on Native Americans of the region to fully understand the history and culture of the native peoples that occupied Rhode Island and the surrounding areas. The first section is contains an overview of early history of the state and region. The second section contains an A to Z dictionary of tribal articles and biographies of noteworthy Native Americans that have contributed to the history of Rhode Island. The third section contains several selections from the classic book, A Century of Dishonor, which details the history of broken promises made to the tribes throughout the country during the early history of America. The fourth section offers the publishers opinion on the government dealings with the Native Americans, in addition to a summation of government tactics that were used to achieve the suppression of the Native Americans.

This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical Encyclopedia of Connecticut and Rhode Island of the Nineteenth Century This work, then, lays no claim to historic merit, except the history of Individuals. The annals of the Commonwealths of Connecticut and Rhode Island have been often and well written, and little or nothing remains to be added thereto. But the Biography of their noble and worthy sons is all unwritten, except in rare instances. No States in the Union have been more fertile in deserving men than these two. To bring the main facts in the lives of some of these into public View is the real object of this volume. We say saim, for we do not propose to assert that all the deserving merit of two States is concentrated in this book. Many of the persons here mentioned have lived in public stations but others have lived away from the public eye, in private worth alone. The actions, the lives of both classes are fruitful subjects of study, as a sort of preparation for the larger subject of the general history of their States. But we enter into no vexed questions of political or relig ious influences, leaving the facts simply to speak for themselves. These facts have been gathered from the most reliable sources, and it is confidently asserted that the record here presented is in every sense trustworthy. It is believed that such a record will be of incalculable benefit, not only to the living, but to yet others who are to come after, and a part of whose culture will be the study of the history of these very times in which these men, of whom we have written the Biographies, play no mean part. Will it be indulging 'a hope utterly vain, if we venture to foresee that these Biographies may form one of the most acceptable sources from which the future historian of Connecticut and Rhode Island may draw his material, when these, our times, shall have passed into the domain of history? To so hope is only to' anticipate what the past has already demonstrated to be the almost uniform rule. In that justified confidence, then, of present and prospective value, we commit to its fate this volume, freighted, as it is, with the o'utline_of so many valuable and commendable lives. We trust in the verdict the two Commonwealths will pronounce on their beloved sons. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volcanoes are unquestionably one of the most spectacular and awe-inspiring features of the physical world. Our paradoxical fascination with them stems from their majestic beauty and powerful, sometimes deadly, destructiveness. Notwithstanding the tremendous advances in volcanology since ancient times, some of the mystery surrounding volcanic eruptions remains today. The Encyclopedia of Volcanoes summarizes our present knowledge of volcanoes; it provides a comprehensive source of information on the causes of volcanic eruptions and both the destructive and beneficial effects. The early chapters focus on the science of volcanism (melting of source rocks, ascent of magma, eruption processes, extraterrestrial volcanism, etc.). Later chapters discuss human interface with volcanoes, including the history of volcanology, geothermal energy resources, interaction with the oceans and atmosphere, health aspects of volcanism, mitigation of volcanic disasters, post-eruption ecology, and the impact of eruptions on organismal biodiversity. - Provides the only comprehensive reference work to cover all aspects of volcanology - Written by nearly 100 world experts in volcanology - Explores an integrated transition from the physical process of eruptions through hazards and risk, to the social face of volcanism, with an emphasis on how volcanoes have influenced and shaped society - Presents hundreds of color photographs, maps, charts and illustrations making this an aesthetically appealing reference - Glossary of 3,000 key terms with definitions of all key vocabulary items in the field is included
