Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The masterful and poignant story of three African-American families who journeyed west after emancipation, by an award-winning scholar and descendant of the migrants Following the lead of her own ancestors, Kendra Field’s epic family history chronicles the westward migration of freedom’s first generation in the fifty years after emancipation. Drawing on decades of archival research and family lore within and beyond the United States, Field traces their journey out of the South to Indian Territory, where they participated in the development of black and black Indian towns and settlements. When statehood, oil speculation, and Jim Crow segregation imperiled their lives and livelihoods, these formerly enslaved men and women again chose emigration. Some migrants launched a powerful back-to-Africa movement, while others moved on to Canada and Mexico. Their lives and choices deepen and widen the roots of the Great Migration. Interweaving black, white, and Indian histories, Field’s beautifully wrought narrative explores how ideas about race and color powerfully shaped the pursuit of freedom.

Download or read book Our Westward Expansion written by John Kekec and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-21 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story is about the Westward Expansion Era of our great American heritage as actually experienced by pioneer families spanning several generations. The original European immigrants began arriving on our shores about four hundred years ago and they were the founders of our country, which became a 'melting pot' for all these ethnic groups. These families eventually emerged from colonial times in early America however, and gradually started moving westward displacing the native Indian nations that were here before. The exemplary families of this story were thoroughly immersed in this western migration that has become known as the Western Expansion Era of our American History. This was also the period of the sad commentary regarding the displacement of the native Indian nations as they were crowded out of their homeland and eventually placed on reservations while the descendants of the migrating settlers continued to move on west as the new land opportunities became available. In this setting the story is told of these rugged and tenacious settlers on the frontier facing the hardships of 'hacking out' a homestead from the wilderness forest while facing the dangers of Indian uprisings and other encounters in the wild native environment. This new Our American Heritage series takes a genealogy approach in presenting our American History. This different look at our past through the eyes of some of our ancestors affords a more personal touch that results in a deeper understanding and more lasting impressions that are not usually garnered through the reading of textbooks. Images of ancestors engaged in the associated historic events are enabled to be brought into sharper focus from their often fuzzy obscurity. Such historic accounts in our ancestor's lives are intertwined and are all integrally wrapped up together in our American History; and we should know them both better than just the cursory impression gained from a smile in a faded photograph or a few memorized dates of some long ago historic events. Some of these ancestor generations were born in special eras with unique sets of circumstances and challenges that fate had designated for them; and for which make interesting life stories. For these reasons they provide enjoyable and worthwhile reading as well as a better appreciation of our great American heritage. The exemplary families of this story first settled in western Pennsylvania before moving on to North Carolina, and then on successively to Ohio, Indiana, and finally Kansas, always staying on the very edge of the wilderness, it seemed, as they moved on west. The lives of these descending generations were full of the usual gamut of human experiences and accomplishments. They homesteaded, raised children, farmed, mined and other such endeavors, and overcame their adversities until the next generation took over. Each family has ancestors waiting to be remembered and family stories waiting to be written. These unique cameo glimpses of family experiences help to fill in the pieces of our history and make them more interesting. For some of us the hardy pioneer families of this story are buried and long forgotten in an era that has long ago quietly disappeared into the past. Yet some of us in these succeeding generations can still hear those voices calling to us from across the years. Our ancestors left many footprints in time in many places, such as their names on streets, gravestones, granite markers around old battlefields, and headstones on buildings. But most of all they left behind the vast amount of historic records, which were used to document the accounts of this story. They served as resounding echoes from the past, without which this story could not have been written. There is a legacy left behind for each life that is lived, and if a person is remembered by those left behind, that person lives on in their memories. The same can be said of our American History which is all a part of our great American Heritage.
