Download or read book Freighters and Pilgrims written by Charles E. Young and published by . This book was released on 2021-12-26 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1865, a young man and a young woman headed wet, like thousands of other pioneers. THey never met, but they traveled roughly the same trail as so many others that summer. This book is actually two books in one: the report of Charles E. Young and his travels to Denver with a freight team, and the daily diary of Sarah Raymond Herndon, who traveled to Montana with a large wagon train.Charles was only 19 years old when he and two friends decided to see what the west might hold for them. Adventures awaited in the form of mule teams, Indian attacks, blizzards, and treacherous mountain travels. In fact, he entitled his book "Dangers of the Trail in 1865."Sarah was 24 when she and her family joined a wagon train headed for California. They were part of a large party on the Oregon Trail. Their trip west was farily pleasant and peaceful, with only some mild troubles here and there. Eventually, Sarah's family and several others decided to make Montana their home, so they changed their route.Both stories are true, firsthand accounts of the trip that so many Americans traveled over many decades of the 19 century to settle the West. These stories are the best way to really learn history! Freighters and Pilgrims is perfect for leisure reading, as well as a great supplement to any history lesson on America's westward movement.Knowledge Keepers Bookstore is excited to add this book to our growing library of authentic history accounts dating back to 1492. We strive to get factual, printed history into home libraries everywhere!

Download or read book It May Be Forever written by David M. Quinn and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2005-10-03 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It May Be Forever is a nineteenth century tale of adventure and tragedy, based upon the real-life story of Michael Quinn. To escape the grinding poverty of Irelands Great Famine, Michael and his family flee to England, where at age eight, Michael becomes a child laborer in a textile mill. As he grows older and more aware of British prejudice and discrimination, he is motivated to enlist with the Fenian rebels, a group determined to free Ireland from British colonial rule. Chronic unemployment, however, drives him to America, and defeat on the battlefield lands him on the untamed plains of the Wild West. Faced with unaccustomed opportunity, Michael quickly abandons the fight against oppression and turns away from family and friends. Dreams of achieving a great fortune lead him to support the dispossession of Native Americans of their lands and livelihood. But after the massacre at Wounded Knee, demons of conscience rise up in terrible nightmares, and only a Lakota holy man offers the hope of redemption. It May Be Forever is a cautionary tale, which shows how the many small decisions of life can create the most unintended consequences, and how easily a man of strong convictions may become that which he hates.

Download or read book One Small Candle written by New Word City Editors and published by . This book was released on 2018-08 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This vivid, deeply moving book begins in London in 1620 as Pilgrim representatives sign a contract to purchase the freighter Mayflower. We accompany them on their harrowing voyage across the Atlantic, through the rigors of the first New England winter and the threat of Indian attack as they desperately search for the home they eventually find at Plymouth. Once there, they must continue the struggle against brutal weather and disease.With masterly skill, New York Times bestselling historian Thomas Fleming gives us life-size portraits of the Pilgrim leaders. The Pilgrims' unique achievements - the Mayflower Compact, their tolerance of other faiths, the strict separation of church and state - are discussed in the context of the first year's anxieties and crises. Fleming writes admiringly of the younger men who emerged in that year as the real leaders of the colony - William Bradford and Miles Standish. And he provides new insights into the humanity and tolerance of the Pilgrims' spiritual shepherd, Elder William Brewster.On the first Thanksgiving, the Pilgrims are already aware that they are the forerunners of a great nation. It is implicit in William Bradford's words, "As one small candle may light a thousand, so the light kindled here has shone unto many. . . ."
Download or read book Two Thousand Miles on Horseback Santa F and Back written by James Florant Meline and published by . This book was released on 1868 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James F. Meline journeyed across the Santa Fe Trail. His trip began at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, along the Platte through Nebraska Territory to Denver, then South through Pueblo, and Trinidad, Colorado, entering New Mexico at the Raton Pass. He traveled to Fort Union, Mora, Las Vegas, and Santa Fe. He spent three weeks in the Santa Fe and Albuquerque area. Meline attempted to ride 33 miles each day and then in the evenings and days off compiled his notes and his writings. He returned to the East by the Santa Fe Trail "short cut," or the Cimarron Route. His journey and description of New Mexico of 1866 is one of the most accurate accounts of a century ago. He described the manners and customs of New Mexico--plows, cars, yokes, mines, pueblo dialects, legends, costumes. He met many of the people, including Kit Carson. At Mora he attended a baile and described in detail the dance of the natives of 1866
