Download or read book John Price the Emigrant Jamestown Colony 1620 written by Benjamin Luther Price and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Price the Emigrant, Jamestown Colony 1620: With Some of His Descendants In former years the writer took very little interest in family history: but when he began to gather data for his wif'es admission to membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution, his family pride was aroused; and he has since persisted in an endeavor to trace the history of his people. It is a further gratification to feel that some success has attended these efforts. This fragmentary sketch has cost some time and expense; yet it has been a diversion from the duties of the pastorate, which every minister needs, at the same time it has been a labor of loyalty and love. It might appear from the pages of this booklet that our people were mainly of the Episcopal Church, but the record does not justify such a conclusion. In the days of the Colonies, when the Episcopal Church was the first on the ground, our people with many others, at once recognized the value and importance of the Sanctuary, and so naturally threw their influence, and gave their support in maintaining the Altar of Jehovah regardless of creed. The family is represented in many of the Protestant churches of the present time, though a goodly number have been and are now Presbyterians. In the year 1905 there were eight ministers bearing the name of Price, in the Southern Presbyterian Church. So far as one is able to judge the family has been by temperament and thought most naturally inclined to the doctrines of the Presbyterian faith and polity. To the family this booklet will no doubt occupy a unique position from the fact that several of the most prominent characters mentioned were Generals in contending armies, during the war between the States: Generals Samuel Woodson Price of Kentucky with William Bedford Royall of Missouri for the Union Cause; and General Sterling Price with his sons, General Edwin W.Price and Colonel Celsus Price, all of Missouri, in the Confederate Army. Certain members of the family who have devoted much care ful study to the subject have generously lent their aid and support to the project. The compiler and author wishes especially to acknowledge his obligations, for family records, to Miss Katherine Price, Rice, Virginia; Miss Mary Womack, Lunsford, Virginia; Miss Marie Louise Rhodes, Cartersville, Virginia; Judge Asa D.

Download or read book Love and Hate in Jamestown written by David A. Price and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book and aSan Jose Mercury News Top 20 Nonfiction Book of 2003In 1606, approximately 105 British colonists sailed to America, seeking gold and a trade route to the Pacific. Instead, they found disease, hunger, and hostile natives. Ill prepared for such hardship, the men responded with incompetence and infighting; only the leadership of Captain John Smith averted doom for the first permanent English settlement in the New World.The Jamestown colony is one of the great survival stories of American history, and this book brings it fully to life for the first time. Drawing on extensive original documents, David A. Price paints intimate portraits of the major figures from the formidable monarch Chief Powhatan, to the resourceful but unpopular leader John Smith, to the spirited Pocahontas, who twice saved Smith’s life. He also gives a rare balanced view of relations between the settlers and the natives and debunks popular myths about the colony. This is a superb work of history, reminding us of the horrors and heroism that marked the dawning of our nation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Captain John Smith The beginning of the United States, the very foundation of our great English-speaking nation, was laid in Virginia at Jamestown. Here was the first community that actually made its home within our land, and proved to the world that America might grow into a nation. The Virginian settlement was made only after many efforts - after more than one disastrous failure, and at the cost of many lives. It had to fight against famine, pestilence, and enemies, and in its fight it had many leaders. One by one these were tried and found wanting, until the rise to power of Captain John Smith, who proved victorious against every foe. What he was and how he had succeeded we shall see in reading his life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Address at the Three Hundredth Anniversary of the Settlement of Jamestown Classic Reprint written by Thomas Nelson Page and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Address at the Three Hundredth Anniversary of the Settlement of Jamestown It seems to me that what is said on this spot on this occasion should relate to the spiritual side of the work and the fruits of the Jamestown settlement, whose Three Hundredth Anniversary we are here today to celebrate, rather than to the material or physical side. And it is in this spirit that I wish to deal with it in this presence. And first on this spot on this occasion I wish to mention with reverence the name of Sir Walter Raleigh: "Lord, and Chief Governor of Virginia," to whom, under God's Providence, more than any other human being is due the fact that this Country belongs to the English Speaking Race, and the Civilization which it represents. Three hundred years ago, on this Island - which until then, through all the ages, since the birth of things, had lain desert and untrodden by any feet save those of the wild beast and the yet wilder savage, - to which Spain had simply asserted a traditionary right as a part of the vast unknown region of the American Continent - landed a little band of sea-worn Englishmen and took posession in the name of God and of the Crown of England. Since the 20th day of December preceding, when they weighed anchor in the River Thames and dropped down the stream with the receding tide, they had in their three little ships been making their way slowly and painfully across the wintry Atlantic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from John O'may and Other Stories All that summer and autumn and winter he would appear without warning, stay a week or two, and disappear as quietly as he had come. I liked him about; I liked his feline walk; I liked his attitude of quiescent readiness. He was so immediately willing to do anything, but at the same time so little weary of doing nothing at all. One seldom meets a man who combines stoicism with eagerness. O'may lay in wait for life. I spoke of him to my friends as a silent Irish man; I was not a little proud that I had dis covered him. I had forgotten the baboon story, you see, or, if I thought of it at all, put it down to the conversational eagerness that follows an introduction. After three months I found, quite unexpectedly, that baboons, allegorically speak ing, were poignantly characteristic of o'may.

Download or read book Captain John Smith Adventurer written by R. E. Pritchard and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2020-07-30 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The swashbuckling life of the Elizabethan explorer and colonial governor is vividly recounted in this historical biography. Captain John Smith is best remembered for his association with Pocahontas, but this was only a small part of an extraordinary life filled with danger and adventure. As a soldier, he fought the Turks in Eastern Europe, where he beheaded three Turkish adversaries in duels. He was sold into slavery, then murdered his master to escape. He sailed under a pirate flag, was shipwrecked, and marched to the gallows to be hanged, only to be reprieved at the eleventh hour. All this before he was thirty years old. Smith was one of the founders of Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in America. He faced considerable danger from the Native Americans as well as from competing factions within the settlement itself. In the face of all this, Smith’s leadership saved the settlement from failure.
