Download or read book Empire of the Summer Moon written by S. C. Gwynne and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-25 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award* *A New York Times Notable Book* *Winner of the Texas Book Award and the Oklahoma Book Award* This New York Times bestseller and stunning historical account of the forty-year battle between Comanche Indians and white settlers for control of the American West “is nothing short of a revelation…will leave dust and blood on your jeans” (The New York Times Book Review). Empire of the Summer Moon spans two astonishing stories. The first traces the rise and fall of the Comanches, the most powerful Indian tribe in American history. The second entails one of the most remarkable narratives ever to come out of the Old West: the epic saga of the pioneer woman Cynthia Ann Parker and her mixed-blood son Quanah, who became the last and greatest chief of the Comanches. Although readers may be more familiar with the tribal names Apache and Sioux, it was in fact the legendary fighting ability of the Comanches that determined when the American West opened up. Comanche boys became adept bareback riders by age six; full Comanche braves were considered the best horsemen who ever rode. They were so masterful at war and so skillful with their arrows and lances that they stopped the northern drive of colonial Spain from Mexico and halted the French expansion westward from Louisiana. White settlers arriving in Texas from the eastern United States were surprised to find the frontier being rolled backward by Comanches incensed by the invasion of their tribal lands. The war with the Comanches lasted four decades, in effect holding up the development of the new American nation. Gwynne’s exhilarating account delivers a sweeping narrative that encompasses Spanish colonialism, the Civil War, the destruction of the buffalo herds, and the arrival of the railroads, and the amazing story of Cynthia Ann Parker and her son Quanah—a historical feast for anyone interested in how the United States came into being. Hailed by critics, S. C. Gwynne’s account of these events is meticulously researched, intellectually provocative, and, above all, thrillingly told. Empire of the Summer Moon announces him as a major new writer of American history.

This book was released on 2019-03 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God gave unto mankind sanctuaries - holy, sacred, and undefiled places; consecrated and set apart for the purpose of respectful and reverential spiritual union and worship. It makes no difference whether they be out of doors under the open sky - or man-made edifices constructed exclusively for this purpose. It is a sad state of affairs when a society becomes so warped, deranged, and unbalanced - that hardened criminals, blatant lawbreakers, illegal aliens, war-faring insurgents, corrupt political malefactors, radical reprobates, traitors, demon worshipers, and all other conspirators against God and humanity are welcomed - unchecked and unrestrained - into their midst. We invite you to follow the impact such circumstances made in the lives of the PATRIOT CHILDREN - leaving the homestead, farm, and estate which, from the time of the 1849 California gold rush, had been handed down through many generations - in the quest of pursuing a sounder, safer future in rural America's mid-south.
Download or read book Macuna ma The Hero with No Character written by Mário de Andrade and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2023-04-04 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant new translation of the Brazilian modernist epic that aims to capture the country’s complex identity Here at last is an exciting new edition of the Brazilian modernist epic Macunaíma: The Hero with No Character, by Mário de Andrade. This landmark 1928 novel follows the adventures of the shapeshifting Macunaíma and his brothers as they leave their Amazon home for a whirlwind tour of Brazil, cramming four centuries and a continental expanse into a single mythic plane. Having lost a magic amulet, the hero and his brothers journey to Sao Paulo to retrieve the talisman that has fallen into the hands of an Italo-Peruvian captain of industry (who is also a cannibal giant). Written over six delirious days—the fruit of years of study—Macunaíma magically synthesizes dialect, folklore, anthropology, mythology, flora, fauna, and pop culture to examine Brazilian identity. This brilliant translation by Katrina Dodson has been many years in the making and includes an extensive section of notes, providing essential context for this magnificent work.
