Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Around the turn of the twentieth century, the formation of the U.S.-Mexico border through the rise of capitalism brought new forms of violence, this time codified in law, land surveys, and capitalist land and resource regimes—the markers of modernity and progress that were the hallmarks of Gilded Age America and Porfirian Mexico. Military units, settlers, and boosters dispossessed Southern Apache peoples of their homelands and attempted to erase the histories of Mexican colonists in the Lower Mimbres Valley region. As a result, people of multiple racial and national identities came together to forge new border communities. In Raid and Reconciliation Brandon Morgan examines the story of Pancho Villa’s 1916 raid on Columbus, New Mexico—an event that has been referenced in various histories of the border and the Mexican Revolution but not contextualized on its own—and shows that violence was integral to the modern capitalist development that shaped the border. Raid and Reconciliation provides new insights into the Mexican Revolution and sheds light on the connections between violence and modernization. Lessons from this border story resonate in today’s debates over migration, race, and what it means to be an American.

Download or read book Carleton s Raid written by Ida H. Washington and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The secret orders read: "Destroy all the supplies, provisions, and animals which the rebels may have assembled on the shores of Lake Champlain ... destroy all the boats ... as well as all the sawmills and gristmills which could have been built in the area." The threat of an American invasion of Canada triggered a major attack in 1778, which violated the trust the American colonists had placed in the British and resulted in widespread and cruel hardship for the men, women, and children who lived in the Champlain Valley. In the vast panorama of the historical landscape, persons and events of great importance to one era sometimes escape notice of later generations. So it has been with Carleton's Raid. Although a major invasion involving hundreds of Canadian troops, it was overshadowed by contemporary and subsequent happenings. It records have remained practically untouched in Canadian and Vermont archives. This book brings together the separate and sometimes conflicting accounts of Carleton's Raid so that the reader sees the invasion from the very different ,perspectives of attacker and attacked., On the Canadian side, discussions and decisions are followed in official correspondence, while Carleton's own journal gives details of the action and records a rapport and cooperation with the company Indians very rare in British annals. From the Vermont side, letters and stories vividly paint the sufferings of the settlers and tell dramatic tales of imprisonment and escape. Carleton's Raid is not only of scholarly importance because it is the first thorough study of the invasion of November 1178, but it is also of scholarly importance because it is the first thorough study of the invasion, but it is also exciting reading for anyone interested in American history.

Download or read book Pax Feminica written by Ajit Chaudhuri and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2018-06-07 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine a society ruled by women, where women are the administrators, judges, and military commanders. Would it be free of want, injustice, and violence, as feminists would have us believe, or would it be much the same as any other society? This novel describes such a world, with its rules and norms and its philosophical underpinnings, from the viewpoint of patriarchal outsiders. Two middle-aged male wannabe adventurers, one an inveterate womanizer and the other a family man, stumble upon this world via a series of accidents in this work that takes the reader from Delhi and Kiev to a remote valley in the Indian Himalayas and flits between the thirteenth century, when Mongol hordes invaded Europe and a group of women decided that they had had enough of men, and the previous decade.
Download or read book Ranger Raid written by Phillip Thomas Tucker and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A figure of legendary, almost mythic proportions, Robert Rogers is widely considered the father of U.S. Army Rangers. He gained his fame during the French and Indian War, fighting in the American and Canadian wilderness for the British colonies and the English Empire against the French and Indians, but a decade later, during the Revolution, he was almost a man without a country. During the American Revolution, George Washington didn’t trust him—indeed, he had Rogers arrested in 1776—nor did the British, who, desperate, gave him a command anyway, and Rogers was pivotal in arresting and executing American spy Nathan Hale. However, Rogers' saga begins in the French and Indian War in what was a true American Odyssey. Ranger Raid digs deep into Rogers’ most controversial battle: the raid on St. Francis in Canada during the French and Indian War. On October 4, 1759, Rogers and 140 Rangers raided the Native American town of St. Francis, Canada, as part of British general Jeffery Amherst’s plan to gain intelligence in the St. Lawrence region. At the time, and for many decades thereafter, this was seen as a great victory—but now it seems like more of a massacre. Phillip Thomas Tucker refreshes this story, combining the biography of Robert Rogers, the history of his Rangers, and the history of the native peoples in this region, to tell a new story of the St. Francis raid and its influence in the French and Indian War, the Revolutionary War, and ever after.
