Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Records and Studies, Vol. 12: June, 1918 Among the remarkable events entering into the history of the United States during the past century the great expansion of its territory stands out prominently. The original thirteen States, forming the Union, comprised an area of 892,135 square miles. Therafter, commencing with the Louisiana purchase in 1803, and continuing down to the recent (1917) purchase of the Danish Islands in the West Indies, the United States has been adding to its territory until the present time when the total area over which our sovereignty extends amounts to 3,743,448 square miles or more than four times the original area of the Union. By far the larger part of this added territory was acquired by peaceful cession and treaty, France, Spain and Russia being the largest contributors. The most of this teritory lies adjacent to our original boundaries, some of it within the nearby waters of the Caribbean Sea. The furthermost limits of the great Alaskan tract, which lie within the Arctic Zone, are separated from Eastern Siberia by Behring's Strait, a waterway only thirty-six miles wide at its narrow point, while the Philippines lie within the continent of Asia and are more than 6,500 miles distant across the vast expanse of the Pacific from the nearest port of continental America. This new territory so widely distributed implies a great variety of climate and natural resources as well as a diversity in the races of people by whom the same is occupied, and every section carries with it its own political and religious history. Each has been the scene of Catholic missionary effort. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Dictionary of Early American Philosophers written by John R. Shook and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-04-05 with total page 1252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dictionary of Early American Philosophers, which contains over 400 entries by nearly 300 authors, provides an account of philosophical thought in the United States and Canada between 1600 and 1860. The label of "philosopher" has been broadly applied in this Dictionary to intellectuals who have made philosophical contributions regardless of academic career or professional title. Most figures were not academic philosophers, as few such positions existed then, but they did work on philosophical issues and explored philosophical questions involved in such fields as pedagogy, rhetoric, the arts, history, politics, economics, sociology, psychology, medicine, anthropology, religion, metaphysics, and the natural sciences. Each entry begins with biographical and career information, and continues with a discussion of the subject's writings, teaching, and thought. A cross-referencing system refers the reader to other entries. The concluding bibliography lists significant publications by the subject, posthumous editions and collected works, and further reading about the subject.

This book was released on 2017-07-07 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Records of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia, Vol. 12 Church in America, and of its distinguished men and women, ecclesiastical and lay, religious and secular, result in the elucidation of truth and the correction of error, we Shall have done a work not less important, perhaps even more so, than that of the noble organizations who visit the widow and the orphan, who alleviate the miseries of the prisons, and who watch by the bedside of the Sick or minister to the dying on the battle-field. If we can build up a great library of works of original reference, we Shall aid the teachers whose explanations of the truth of the religion in which all these good men and women find their incentive are so powerful; and aiding these we aid every good effect that follows from their efforts. We have taken for our field American Catholic History. In taking this we embrace a wide domain; the materials for its truthful recital will be found not alone amidst the archives of our own land, but wherever the records of events are preserved throughout the world. To understand its philosophy, the writer must be familiar not alone with the written words, but his knowledge must extend to racial peculiarities. He must know the proud Spaniard, the tena cious Dutchman, the Frenchman who manifests himself in so many different aspects from the brilliant soldier to the humble missionary priest. The history of the all-conquering Englishman must be his special study; while the aboriginal tribes of the North and the South, from the savage Iroquois to the semicivilized Aztec and Peruvian, pass in review before his keen intelligence.

Download or read book Mormonism written by W. Paul Reeve and published by ABC-CLIO. This book was released on 2010-08-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering its historic development, important individuals, and central ideas and issues, this encyclopedia offers broad historical coverage of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Mormonism: A Historical Encyclopedia helps readers explore a church that has gone from being an object of ridicule and sometimes violent persecution to a worldwide religion, counting prominent businesspeople and political leaders among its members (including former Massachusetts governor and recent presidential candidate Mitt Romney). The encyclopedia begins with an overview of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—six essays cover the church's history from Joseph Smith's first vision in 1820 to its current global status. This provides a context for subsequent sections of alphabetically organized entries on key events and key figures in Mormon history. A final section looks at important issues such as the church's organization and government, its teachings on family, Mormonism and blacks, Mormonism and women, and Mormonism and Native Americans. Together, these essays and entries, along with revealing primary sources, portray the Mormon experience like no other available reference work.
