Download or read book The making of a soldier written by Thomas William Crouch and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 1274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While many prominent persons have received the attention of biographers, one-- a fervent participant in the nation's overseas expansion-- has not been examined in any significant way. This man, Frederick Funston, 1865-1917, was an adventurer, explorer, writer, soldier of fortune, and finally a war hero and professional member of the United States Army. The author presents a portrait of Funston's early years and a study of his colorful adult life. At the turn of the century, Funston first attracted public attention by his service with the Cuban insurrectos. Subsequently, he served his own country as a fighting man with the 20th Kansas Volunteer Infantry Regiment and won fame, honors, and a regular commission for his deeds during the Philippine Insurrection. His exploits and his opinions earned him both staunch friends and ardent foes. Consequently, the story of Frederick Funston's triumphs and tribulations reveals something about American society during that time. How this colorful and restless American finally joined the ranks of the regular army and why he often was such a controversial figure constitutes the theme of this study.

Book excerpt: The author of Men Explain Things to Me explores the moments of altruism and generosity that arise in the aftermath of disaster Why is it that in the aftermath of a disaster? whether manmade or natural?people suddenly become altruistic, resourceful, and brave? What makes the newfound communities and purpose many find in the ruins and crises after disaster so joyous? And what does this joy reveal about ordinarily unmet social desires and possibilities? In A Paradise Built in Hell, award-winning author Rebecca Solnit explores these phenomena, looking at major calamities from the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco through the 1917 explosion that tore up Halifax, Nova Scotia, the 1985 Mexico City earthquake, 9/11, and Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. She examines how disaster throws people into a temporary utopia of changed states of mind and social possibilities, as well as looking at the cost of the widespread myths and rarer real cases of social deterioration during crisis. This is a timely and important book from an acclaimed author whose work consistently locates unseen patterns and meanings in broad cultural histories.
