Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ahead of the 400th anniversary of the first Thanksgiving, a new look at the Plymouth colony's founding events, told for the first time with Wampanoag people at the heart of the story. In March 1621, when Plymouth's survival was hanging in the balance, the Wampanoag sachem (or chief), Ousamequin (Massasoit), and Plymouth's governor, John Carver, declared their people's friendship for each other and a commitment to mutual defense. Later that autumn, the English gathered their first successful harvest and lifted the specter of starvation. Ousamequin and 90 of his men then visited Plymouth for the “First Thanksgiving.” The treaty remained operative until King Philip's War in 1675, when 50 years of uneasy peace between the two parties would come to an end. 400 years after that famous meal, historian David J. Silverman sheds profound new light on the events that led to the creation, and bloody dissolution, of this alliance. Focusing on the Wampanoag Indians, Silverman deepens the narrative to consider tensions that developed well before 1620 and lasted long after the devastating war-tracing the Wampanoags' ongoing struggle for self-determination up to this very day. This unsettling history reveals why some modern Native people hold a Day of Mourning on Thanksgiving, a holiday which celebrates a myth of colonialism and white proprietorship of the United States. This Land is Their Land shows that it is time to rethink how we, as a pluralistic nation, tell the history of Thanksgiving.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Construction on the California State Capitol began during the Civil War using stone, brick, and iron, showing confidence in the future. The capitol building showed that California had come a long way from the days of its transient, chaotic roots, born of the Gold Rush. Once the capitol was located in Sacramento in 1854, there was still no guarantee that the city would remain its permanent home. When it was completed in 1873, it was the largest structure of its day west of the Mississippi River. Its presence has continued to not only dominate the Sacramento landscape for a century and a half but has also come to shape the very outlook and future of Sacramento and of California itself. The state capitol and its majestic dome have become the iconic symbol of the city.

Section 1 of the contract law of the State Department of Engineering, approved June 8, 1915, provides that "Whenever provision is made by law for the erection, construction, alteration, repair or improvement of any State structure, building, road, or other State improvement of any kind, excepting improvements on the property of the State on the waterfront of the City and County of San Francisco under the jurisdiction of the Board of State Harbor Commissioners, the total cost of which will exceed the sum of $1,000.00, the same shall be under the sole charge and direct control of the Department of Engineering.'' Section 11 of the Department of Engineering law, approved May 19, 1915, is in part as follows: "All architectural work of the Department shall be under the charge of the State Architect. When, however, it shall be deemed to be for the best interests of the State, the Board of Control, with the approval of the Governor, may require and arrange for public competition, and in all such Competitions the Board of Control with the approval of the Governor and with the advice of the State Architect, may prescribe the schedule of prizes, the total of which, exclusive of the fee of the winner, shall not exceed one per centum of the amount appropriated for any building. The fee of the successful Architect shall not exceed six per centum of the cost of said building.''

This act of the Legislature was ratified by the people at the general election held in the month of November, A. D. 1914. Section 5 of this act is as follows: "Section 5. Any and all moneys derived from the sale of the bonds provided for in this act are hereby appropriated and shall be used exclusively for the following purpose, to wit: The constructing and equipping of State Buildings in the City of Sacramento, State of California, for the various officers, boards and commissions of the State, at a cost not to exceed the total sum of three million dollars, such portion of said sum of three million dollars to be used for furnishing and equipping of said State Buildings as may be determined by a board consisting of the Governor, the presiding justice of the Supreme Court, and the State Librarian, which board for such purpose is hereby created; provided, however, that no moneys provided for by this act shall be used for such purpose until a site suitable for such purpose, and acceptable to the State Board last above created, shall be donated or given to the State, the title thereto to be free and clear of all liens and encumbrances; the number of buildings and their location on the lands to be donated shall be determined by said board in this subdivision of this section mentioned; the plans and specifications for said buildings, and each of the same, shall be prepared under the direction and control of said board in this subdivision of this section provided for."

Download or read book The House of Twenty Thousand Books written by Sasha Abramsky and published by Halban. This book was released on 2014-06-26 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of Sasha Abramsky's grandparents, Chimen and Miriam Abramsky, and of their unique home at 5 Hillway, around the corner from Hampstead Heath. In their semi-detached house, so deceptively ordinary from the outside, the Abramskys created a remarkable House of Books. It became the repository for Chimen's collection of thousands upon thousands of books, manuscripts and other printed, handwritten and painted documents, representing his journey through the great political, philosophical, religious and ethical debates that have shaped the western world. Chimen Abramsky was barely a teenager when his father, a famous rabbi, was arrested by Stalin's secret police and sentenced to five years hard labour in Siberia, and fifteen when his family was exiled to London. Lacking a university degree, he nevertheless became a polymath, always obsessed with collecting ideas, with capturing the meanderings of the human soul through the world of great thoughts and thinkers. Rejecting his father's Orthodoxy, he became a Communist, made his living as a book-dealer and amassed a huge, and astonishingly rare, library of socialist literature and memorabilia. Disillusioned with Communism and belatedly recognising the barbarity at the core of Stalin's project, he transformed himself once more, this time into a liberal and a humanist. To his socialist library was added a vastrove of Jewish history volumes. Chimen ended his career as Professor of Hebrew and Jewish studies at UCL, London and rare manuscripts expert for Sotheby's. With his wife Miriam, Chimen made their house a focal point for left-wing intellectual Jewish life: hundreds of the world's leading thinkers, from at their table. The House of Twenty Thousand Books brings alive this latter-day salon by telling the story of Chimen Abramsky's love affair with ideas and with the world of books and of Miriam's obsession with being a hostess and with entertaining. Room by room, book by book, idea by idea, the world of these politically engaged intellectuals, autodidacts and dreamers is lovingly resurrected. In this extraordinary elegy to a lost world, Sasha Abramsky's passionate narrative brings to life once more not just the Hillway salon, but the ideas, the conflicts, the personalities and the human yearnings that animated it. 'The sheer richness of this marvellous book - in terms of its style, think Borges, Perec - amply complements the wondrous complexity of the family - in terms of its subject-matter, think the Eitingons, the Ephrussi - about which Sasha Abramsky writes so lovingly. And as a portrait of London's left-wing Jewish intellectual life it is surely without equal.' Simon Winchester 'I loved this touching and heartfelt celebration of a scholar, teacher and bibliophile, a man whose profound learning was fine-tempered by humane wisdom and self-knowledge. We might all of us envy Sasha Abramsky in possessing such a remarkable grandfather, heroic in his integrity and evoked for us here with real eloquence and affection.' Jonathan Keates 'Sasha Abramsky has combined four kinds of history - familial, political, Jewish, and literary - into one brilliant and compelling book. With him as an erudite and sensitive guide, any reader will be grateful for the opportunity to be immersed into the house of twenty thousand books.' Samuel Freedman 'The House of Twenty Thousand Books is a grandson's elegy for the vanished world of his grandparents' house in London and the exuberant, passionate jostling of two traditions - Jewish and Marxist - that intertwined in his growing up. It is a fascinating memoir of the fatal encounter between Russian Jewish yearning for freedom and the Stalinist creed, a grandson's unsparing, but loving reckoning with a conflicted inheritance. In the digital age, it will also make you long for the smell of old books, the dust on shelves and the collector's passions, all on display in The House of Twenty Thousand Books.' Michael Ignatieff
