Download or read book Covered Wagon Women 1853 1854 written by Kenneth L. Holmes and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “We traveled this forenoon over the roughest and most desolate piece of ground that was ever made,” wrote Amelia Knight during her 1853 wagon train journey to Oregon. Some of the parties who traveled with Knight were propelled by religious motives. Hannah King, an Englishwoman and Mormon convert, was headed for Salt Lake City. Her cultured, introspective diary touches on the feelings of sensitive people bound together in a stressful undertaking. Celinda Hines and Rachel Taylor were Methodists seeking their new Canaan in Oregon. Also Oregon-bound in 1853 were Sarah (Sally) Perkins, whose minimalist record cuts deep, and Eliza Butler Ground and Margaret Butler Smith, sisters who wrote revealing letters after arriving. Going to California in 1854 were Elizabeth Myrick, who wrote a no-nonsense diary, and the teenage Mary Burrell, whose wit and exuberance prevail.

Download or read book Bravos of the West written by John Myers Myers and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1995-06-01 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bravos of the West is a panoramic history of the development of the West after the Lewis and Clark expedition. Appearing, exiting, and reappearing in this history are trappers, traders, prospectors, gunslingers, missionaries, soldiers, and scientists. Here they are shown trapping beaver, confronting bears, trading, and discovering natural wonders as they advance ever farther into the wilds. John Myers Myers begins with the struggle for Texas and follows the men and women who came West: the mountain men beyond the mouth of the Yellowstone, the emigrants to Oregon, the fortune hunters to California, the Mormons to Salt Lake, the stagecoaches, express ponies, and steam-engine trains through mountain passes and open country, and the outlaws to all of it. Playing their roles on this huge historical stage are Andrew Jackson, Davy Crockett, Hugh Glass, Jim Bowie, William Ashley, Mike Fink, Jim Bridger, Kit Carson, Thomas Hart Benton, Stephen Austin, Sam Houston, Peg-leg Smith, Mountain Lamb, Marcus and Narcissa Whitman, Jack Swilling, Henry Plummer, Jack Coffee Hays, Deaf Smith, John Charles Frémont, Brigham Young, John Sutter, Sitting Bull, Cynthia Ann Parker, Joaquin Murrieta, and Wild Bill Hickok.

Download or read book The Angel Room written by Lee Call and published by J Emrys Press. This book was released on 2022-05-24 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Things I hate about Creep: Always around Never shuts up Thinks he’s SO funny Perfect memory Ugly AF Basically a horrible person Things I like about Creep: Actually funny sometimes Was there for me when no one else was Someone to talk to Already knows … everything Have you ever sat in the dark with a secret, and a voice in your ear telling you that you’re not good enough? From debut novelist Lee Call comes a story about what it means to grow out of your past and into your forever. Everyone has demons, but fifteen-year-old Eleanor can actually talk to hers. When her family moves to a new neighborhood, gender-questioning artist Eleanor thinks she can escape her past —and the secret she’s been carrying since she was little — but Creep won’t be left behind. He’s her childhood bestie and her only confidant. Always there: fish-bone teeth and gravel voiced. The monster under her bed. The top-tier fan of all her nightmares who keeps her from what she wants most: a new start. Eleanor has anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and Creep. She doesn’t expect to make friends. Then she meets Mia, a Black goth-girl lesbian in lipstick and army boots, and Virgil, a reformed bad boy with a stable full of horses. Thanks to her new friends, Eleanor begins to question everything. What love really looks like. Her own identity. Who she could be without Creep. Can she find the courage to share her story and be rid of him forever? A queer coming-of-age in the tradition of Speak and The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Angel Room explores the power and healing of authenticity. The redemptive nature of friendship. The strength and resilience needed to mend family bonds. And the courage it takes to realize that you deserve to be heard. A psychological tale in a literary style, this book sifts the shadows and finds hope. The Angel Room may lead readers into the dark, but it leaves the light on.
Download or read book Best of Covered Wagon Women written by Kenneth L. Holmes and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2014-10-20 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The diaries and letters of women on the overland trails in the mid- to late nineteenth century are treasured documents. These eleven selections drawn from the multivolume Covered Wagon Women series present the best first-person trail accounts penned by women in their teens who traveled west between 1846 and 1898. Ranging in age from eleven to nineteen, unmarried and without children of their own, these diarists had experiences different from those of older women who carried heavier responsibilities with them on the trail. These letters and diaries reflect both the unique perspective of youthful optimism and the experiences common among all female emigrants. The young women write of friendship and family, trail hardships, and explorations such as visits to Indian gravesites. Some like Sallie Hester even write of enjoying the company of men, and many speculate about marriage prospects. Domestic roles did not define the girls’ trail experience; only the four oldest in this collection recorded helping with chores. As they journey through Indian lands, these writers show that even their youth did not prevent them from holding notions of white racial superiority. Two of the selections are newly published, having appeared only in limited-distribution collector’s editions of the original series. For all readers captivated by the first Best of Covered Wagon Women collection, this new volume’s focus on youthful travelers adds a fresh perspective to life on the trail.
