This book is unique, including a wide variety of records that provide an unbroken view into life on the Clifford estates in England, (as well as the borders of Wales,Ireland, and Scotland) for centuries, as well as the family's involvement at the centre of political life. Here we glimpse the lives of simple widows, traders, farmers, and labourers juxtaposed with the adventures of soldiers, lords and ladies, princes and princesses. We see how rebellions,crusades, and foreign wars impacted both the great and the humble. And we witness changes in the practices of justice and custom. In this book Anne Clifford asserts the centrality of women to the success of the Clifford and other noble families, including the monarchy.Anne Clifford writes herself into this history, asserting her own rights to govern the lands of her father after her decades long inheritance dispute.

Those interested in the lives of medieval and early modern women, changes in culture, the effect of the political uponindividuals, and the inspiring life of Anne Clifford will find this a rich and rewarding book.
Download or read book What It Is written by Clifford Thompson and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An African-American writer's concise, heartfelt take on the state of his nation, exploring the war between the values he has always held and the reality with which he is confronted in twenty-first-century America. In the tradition of James Baldwin's The Fire Next Time and Ta-Nehisi Coates's Between the World and Me comes Clifford Thompson's What It Is. Thompson was raised to believe in treating every person of every color as an individual, and he decided as a young man that America, despite its history of racial oppression, was his home as much as anyone else's. As a middle-aged, happily married father of biracial children, Thompson finds himself questioning his most deeply held convictions when the race-baiting Donald Trump ascends to the presidency—elected by whites, whom Thompson had refused to judge as a group, and who make up the majority in this country Thompson had called his own. In the grip of contradictory emotions, Thompson turns for guidance to the wisdom of writers he admires while knowing that the answers to his questions about America ultimately lie in America itself. Through interviews with a small but varied group of Americans he hears sharply divergent opinions about what is happening in the country while trying to find his own answers—conclusions based not on conventional wisdom or on what he would like to believe, but on what he sees.

Download or read book Our Lanham History written by Clifford W. Lanham and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BISAC: Our Lanham History It has been some 388 years since the Lanham name immigrated into the colonies which later became the United States of America. The earliest Lanham appears to be a Josias Lanham who arrived from England in 1628. Many Lanham's trace their blood line back to this individual. Our Lanham line comes from a Jonathon Lanham. Jonathon did not come to the colonies. His son John (cousin of Josias, 1626) did arrive in Maryland in 1668. From John our Lanham line begins with the family migration from Maryland westward across West Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, Texas and to Oklahoma over a period of two hundred years. Our linage in the colonies is John (1661), Thomas (1695), Stephen (1726), Thomas (1757), Sylvester (1790, Curtis H. (1813), Hiram D. (1845), Thomas B. (1882), Oran S. (1916) and myself. Yes, we do show data concerning Jonathon, Josias and Roger Lanham of England. Like most of the immigrants arriving in the 1600s, the Lanham's were agrarian producers. They survived hard times from nature, the Indians, wars, diseases and other experiences to succeed in this new world. It appears our line produced a few tough Indian fighters, as well as, participants in the Revolutionary War. While many of our line would be considered the silent majority of citizens of our country, a few displayed great courage. Thomas was at Ft. Boonesbourgh, KY. Stephen and Thomas saw service in the Revolutionary War. At the turn of the century 1900s, Lanham's were coming off the land to try their hands at business and new fangled things like the automobile and the airplane. We have tried to not only be a chronicle of facts about our Lanham line, we have added a bit of human history where that history could be found. Section Three of this book provides some genealogical data of Thomas and Patience Sappington Lanham's seventeen children which may be of benefit to others seeking their roots. Clifford W. Lanham is a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel with combat experience in Viet Nam, experienced in business ownership and in the public school teaching chemistry and physics.

Download or read book The Winter Family written by Clifford Jackman and published by Random House Canada. This book was released on 2015-04-14 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing a gang of ruthless outlaws from its birth during the American Civil War to a final bloody showdown in the Territory of Oklahoma, The Winter Family is a hyperkinetic Western noir and a full-on assault to the senses. From the 1860s to the 1880s, the outlaws known as the Winter Family roam the harsh frontier, both serving and battling the fierce advance of civilization. Among its twisted specimens are the psychopathic killer Quentin Ross, the mean and moronic Empire brothers, the impassive ex-slave Fred Johnson, and the gunslinging child prodigy, Lukas Riddle. At the centre of this ultraviolent storm is their cold, dandified and golden-eyed leader, Augustus Winter--a man with a pathological resistance to the rules of society and a preternatural gift for butchery. From their political thuggery during a Chicago election to their work as bounty hunters in the deserts of Arizona, Winter and his crew follow a grim, borderland morality that plays out, time and again, in ruthless carnage. With its haunting, hard-edged style, The Winter Family is a feverishly paced meditation on human nature, violence and the deep contradictions of progress.

Download or read book Survivors written by Rebecca Clifford and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Told for the first time from their perspective, the story of children who survived the chaos and trauma of the Holocaust How can we make sense of our lives when we do not know where we come from? This was a pressing question for the youngest survivors of the Holocaust, whose prewar memories were vague or nonexistent. In this beautifully written account, Rebecca Clifford follows the lives of one hundred Jewish children out of the ruins of conflict through their adulthood and into old age. Drawing on archives and interviews, Clifford charts the experiences of these child survivors and those who cared for them—as well as those who studied them, such as Anna Freud. Survivors explores the aftermath of the Holocaust in the long term, and reveals how these children—often branded “the lucky ones”—had to struggle to be able to call themselves “survivors” at all. Challenging our assumptions about trauma, Clifford’s powerful and surprising narrative helps us understand what it was like living after, and living with, childhoods marked by rupture and loss.

Book excerpt: "131 women were hanged in England and Wales between 1797 and 1837, executed for crimes including murder, baby-killing, theft, arson, sheep-stealing and passing forged bank notes. Most of them were extremely poor and living in desperate situations. Some were mentally ill. A few were innocent. And almost all are now forgotten, their voices unheard for generations. Mary Morgan – a teenager hanged as an example to others. Eliza Fenning – accused of adding arsenic to the dumplings. Mary Bateman – a ‘witch’ who duped her neighbours out of their savings. Harriet Skelton – hanged for passing counterfeit pound notes in spite of efforts by Elizabeth Fry and the Duke of Gloucester to save her. Naomi Clifford has unearthed the events that brought these ‘unfortunates’ to the gallows and has used contemporary newspaper accounts and documents to tell their stories"--
