Book excerpt: Annabelle Gates lost her parents at the age of fourteen when a madman broke into the farmhouse and murdered them both. Without any possessions left after her house burned to the ground, Annabelle was sent to an orphanage in her hometown of Cedarville, Nevada. At eighteen, she would be sent out to work and make a living for herself unless she found a husband before then. Although her life drastically changed, Annabelle found herself blessed with a kind caregiver. All she wanted was happiness and security, the things that had been so brutally taken from her at a young age. Would she ever find them again? Ira Knox didn’t have a typical childhood either. After the death of his mother, his father would eventually abandon him to work out his room and board for the Fortescues, an older couple very popular in the town of Deepwater, Texas. He doesn’t suspect his life will change when he picks up the new maid, Annabelle, from the train station. But it is about to. Cedarville and Deepwater were formed into sister towns during the Long Winter of 1883. Because of their close connection, both Annabelle and Ira have memories of how people pulled together to survive during that terrible winter. This bond helps them through when their lives are threatened by a sudden, inexplicable danger. They will have to work together – just like the townsfolk did in 1883 – if they want to survive.

Download or read book Hijos Del Pueblo written by Deborah E. Kanter and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The everyday lives of indigenous and Spanish families in the countryside, a previously under-explored segment of Mexican cultural history, are now illuminated through the vivid narratives presented in Hijos del Pueblo("offspring of the village"). Drawing on neglected civil and criminal judicial records from the Toluca region, Deborah Kanter revives the voices of native women and men, their Spanish neighbors, muleteers, and hacienda peons to showcase their struggles in an era of crisis and uncertainty (1730-1850). Engaging and meaningful biographies of indigenous villagers, female and male, illustrate that no scholar can understand the history of Mexican communities without taking gender seriously. In legal interactions native plaintiffs and Spanish jurists confronted essential questions of identity and hegemony. At once an insightful consideration of individual experiences and sweeping paternalistic power constructs, Hijos del Pueblocontributes important new findings to the realm of gender studies and the evolution of Latin America.

Download or read book Morgenthau written by Andrew Meier and published by Random House. This book was released on 2022-10-11 with total page 1105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “magisterial” (The Wall Street Journal) portrait of four generations of the Morgenthau family, a dynasty of power brokers and public officials with an outsize—and previously unmapped—influence extending from daily life in New York City to the shaping of the American Century A New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice • A New Yorker Book of the Year “Exhaustively researched, vividly written, and a welcome reminder that even the most noxious evils can be vanquished when capable and committed citizens do their best.”—David M. Kennedy, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Freedom from Fear After coming to America from Germany in 1866, the Morgenthaus made history in international diplomacy, in domestic politics, and in America’s criminal justice system. With unprecedented, exclusive access to family archives, award-winning journalist and biographer Andrew Meier vividly chronicles how the Morgenthaus amassed a fortune in Manhattan real estate, advised presidents, advanced the New Deal, exposed the Armenian genocide, rescued victims of the Holocaust, waged war in the Mediterranean and Pacific, and, from a foundation of private wealth, built a dynasty of public service. In the words of former mayor Ed Koch, they were “the closest we’ve got to royalty in New York City.” Lazarus Morgenthau arrived in America dreaming of rebuilding the fortune he had lost in his homeland. He ultimately died destitute, but the family would rise again with the ascendance of Henry, who became a wealthy and powerful real estate baron. From there, the Morgenthaus went on to influence the most consequential presidency of the twentieth century, as Henry’s son Henry Jr. became FDR’s longest-serving aide, his Treasury secretary during the war, and his confidant of thirty years. Finally, there was Robert Morgenthau, a decorated World War II hero who would become the longest-tenured district attorney in the history of New York City. Known as the “DA for life,” he oversaw the most consequential and controversial prosecutions in New York of the last fifty years, from the war on the Mafia to the infamous Central Park Jogger case. The saga of the Morgenthaus has lain half hidden in the shadows for too long. At heart a family history, Morgenthau is also an American epic, as sprawling and surprising as the country itself.
