Excerpt: ...build up a faith which should command their actions? Certainly not; they valued gold and silver only for their beauty, not for intrinsic worth. The national character had adapted itself to local circumstances, not been formed by them. As it is thus evident that the Northern and Southern aborigines were descendants of a widely difierent stock, the question is, on what nation of Asia might the latter, with some degree of credibility, make out a case of afliliation? Am I too fanciful in discovering numerous aflinities between the characteristics, moral and personal, of this race and the Chinese, weakened to their present degree of faintness by time and the distance of their transit, which might have taken place after some rebellion, when a leader and his party were expatriated. The nations have at least these features in common--configuration of countenance, worship of the sun, a love of congregating in cities, and an ingenuity in various arts arising from their social relations. Some of the principal Indian antiquities--with the general character of which most are acquainted--are to be found at Marietta, where a square area of forty acres is enclosed by a firm wall of peculiarly cemented earth, ten feet high, which has three openings at equal distances on each side. Similar constructions are to be seen on the banks of the Muskingum, where the ramparts are upwards of eighteen feet in height, and on a hill near the Tioga River, where the defences are surrounded by an entrenchment and various pits, which had evidently been dug and covered over to receive assailants--all attesting ingenuity and the existence of system---besides the sculpture of human and animal heads, helmets, spears, etc., on rocks in various parts of the country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Retrospections of America, 1797-1811 On his retirement from the stage and return to England, Bernard began the preparation of his biography; and about a year before his death he completed the work, but, as his son tells us, in too voluminous a state for publication. His son was the late W. Bayle Bernard, who was born in Boston, Mass, in 1808, and died in Lon don, England, in 1875. He began life as an actor, but soon turned critic and dramatist, and was the author of the Nervous Man, the Dumb Belle, and His Lost Legs. For Hackett he wrote the earliest drama of Rip Van Winkle, and for Yankee Hill, Silsbee, and other American character actors, he wrote many other plays which entitle him to be considered one of the inventors of the Stage Yankee. After John Bernard's death, in 1828, Bayle Bernard selected and condensed from his father's autobiography the interesting Retrospections of the Stage, by the Late John Bernard, Manager of the American Theatres, and formerly Secretary of the Beefsteak Club. 2 vols. Lon don, Henry Colburn and Richard Bentley, This work met with great and instant success, and is still high ly prized by all collectors of theatrical literature on both sides of the Atlantic. It was republished by Carter 85 Hendee, in Boston, in 1832, but both editions have been long out of print.

Book excerpt: A fascinating and illuminating account of how George Washington became the dominant force in the creation of the United States of America, from award-winning author David O. Stewart “An outstanding biography . . . [George Washington] has a narrative drive such a life deserves.”—The Wall Street Journal Washington's rise constitutes one of the greatest self-reinventions in history. In his mid-twenties, this third son of a modest Virginia planter had ruined his own military career thanks to an outrageous ego. But by his mid-forties, that headstrong, unwise young man had evolved into an unassailable leader chosen as the commander in chief of the fledgling Continental Army. By his mid-fifties, he was unanimously elected the nation's first president. How did Washington emerge from the wilderness to become the central founder of the United States of America? In this remarkable new portrait, award-winning historian David O. Stewart unveils the political education that made Washington a master politician—and America's most essential leader. From Virginia's House of Burgesses, where Washington mastered the craft and timing of a practicing politician, to his management of local government as a justice of the Fairfax County Court to his eventual role in the Second Continental Congress and his grueling generalship in the American Revolution, Washington perfected the art of governing and service, earned trust, and built bridges. The lessons in leadership he absorbed along the way would be invaluable during the early years of the republic as he fought to unify the new nation.

Download or read book Sambo written by Joseph Boskin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1988-09-08 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the tumultuous events of the 1960's ended his long life, "Sambo" prevailed in American culture as the cheerful and comical entertainer. This stereotypical image of the black male, which developed during the Colonial period, extended into all regions and classes, pervading all levels of popular culture for over two centuries. It stands as an outstanding example of how American society has used humor oppressively. Joseph Boskin's Sambo provides a comprehensive history of this American icon's rise and decline, tracing the image of "Sambo" in circuses and minstrel shows, in comic strips and novels, in children's stories, in advertisements and illustrations, in films and slides, in magazines and newspapers, and in knick-knacks found throughout the house. He demonstrates how the stereotype began to unravel in the 1930s with several radio series, specifically the Jack Benny show, which undercut and altered the "Sambo" image. Finally, the democratic thrust of World War II, coupled with the advent of the Civil Rights movement and growing national recognition of prominent black comedians in the 1950's and '60's, laid Sambo to rest.
