Book excerpt: Excerpt from Noble and Heroic Deeds of Men and Women, Vol. 10 We can best learn to hate cowardice and n groveling spirit by studying their opposites. Bravery and nobility of character have been honored and respected as long as man has existed; They are the cardinal virtues of true manhood or womanhood, and always com mand respect. It is a sacred duty of every person to make his life as grand and noble as possible; and there can be no better, no surer'manner of bringing this about than by instilling into the minds of the youth such examples as are grand and noble. To build a fine, abiding and beautiful architectural structure, in which proportion and grace are blended, the first thing that is done is to build well a good sub-structure, a foundation on which torest. Just so in forming a beautiful character. The first thing necessary is to have a pure mind; before which, as an entrancing mirror, are reflected the images and casts of noble deeds, heroic actions, and 'that nobility of character which is'universally respected. The province of this volume is then seen. We are not pretentious enough to claim originality in the major ity of the facts and incidents 'found in these pages. We have only aimed at an acceptable compilation, such as is found in no other work, and which the author and publishers believe will meet a demand long felt. We have had recourse to a large number of standard and antiquated works, from which we have drawn liberally. Many of the stories have been en tirely rewritten and modernized. If it shall be the means of inspiring any youth to better and renewed exertions, or to spur any one to better efforts, the aim of the compilers will have been amply met. To do good has been the motive in presenting this to' the public, and should it fail in this it will fail utterly. The actions and deeds herein recorded are worthy of study and imitation by all. An ambition to be noble is laudable. By a knowledge of the lives of the great, we can regulate our own course and steer star-guided over life's trackless ocean.

Book excerpt: Ramona is a 1884 American novel written by Helen Hunt Jackson. Set in Southern California after the Mexican-American War, it portrays the life of a mixed-race Scottish-Native American orphan girl, who suffers racial discrimination and hardship. This enormously popular novel has had more than 300 printings and been adapted five times as a film. The novel's influence on the culture and image of Southern California was considerable. Its sentimental portrayal of Mexican colonial life contributed to establishing a unique cultural identity for the region. As its publication coincided with the arrival of railroad lines in the region, countless tourists visited who wanted to see the locations of the novel. James' book is the major work written in response to the need for an accurate picture of the historical setting of Jackson's novel (part fact, part fiction) and Native American culture in Southern California.

Download or read book Women in the United States Armed Forces written by Darlene M. Iskra and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-03-23 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides the reader with an historical and contemporary overview of the service by women in all branches of the U.S. military, tracing the causes and effects of evolving policies, issues, structural barriers, and cultural challenges on the record and in the future of the accomplishments by women warriors. Women in the United States Armed Forces: A Guide to the Issues covers over a century of accomplishments of military women, from the Civil War to the current wars in the Middle East. Readers will learn, for example, that during World War II, 565 women in the Women's Army Corps stationed in the Pacific theater received combat decorations, proving that women had the courage, strength, and stamina to perform in a combat environment. They will also learn that, perhaps surprisingly, it wasn't until the mid- to late 1970s that women had their first opportunities to serve at sea and as aviators (crew as well as pilots), albeit on noncombatant ships and aircraft. The book's final four chapters discuss the issues that continue to plague women in the military, including sexual harassment, noting that women's performance in America's two-front wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have made a positive difference in attitudes. The handbook closes with an epilogue that is at once a summary of the issues and a call for action.
