Book excerpt: As the railroads opened up the American West to settlers in the last half of the 19th Century, the Plains Indians made their final stand and cattle ranches spread from Texas to Montana. Eminent Western author Dee Brown here illuminates the struggle between these three groups as they fought for a place in this new landscape. The result is both a spirited national saga and an authoritative historical account of the drive for order in an uncharted wilderness, illustrated throughout with maps, photographs and ephemera from the period.
Download or read book Gathering Storm written by Morris Dees and published by Harper Perennial. This book was released on 1997-04-03 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 26, 1994, Morris Dees wrote Attorney General Janet Reno to alert her to the danger posed by the growing number of radical militia groups. He warned the Attorney General that the "mixture of armed groups and those who hate is a recipe for disaster." This was six months before the Oklahoma City bombing. In Gathering Storm, he tells for the first time why he decided to alert the Attorney General and why the danger of serious domestic terrorism still exists. The militia movement we saw so much about immediately after the Oklahoma City bombing was not a spontaneous grassroots uprising of men angry at big government but, as Dees shows, a well-organized effort by some of America's most dangerous far-right extremists. Its goal is to destabilize our democracy through domestic terrorism. Few are more qualified to expose the militia network and its close cousin, the Christian patriots, than Dees. Dees points out that the Oklahoma City tragedy was not an isolated event. He connects together a series of violent acts and plans promoted by militia groups and small secret "patriot" cells since the early 1980s. Many, he says, have ties to sources of political power in state houses and in Washington. Dees names names, gives places and details events that could prove embarrassing to some.

Book excerpt: "Drowned young Asian girls start washing up onto a San Francisco beach and City District Attorney Investigator Mary Dinosa is determined to discover the truth behind their tragic deaths and bring those responsible to justice. Her ruthless investigation reveals ugly truths and sends her into the deep dark world of domestic and international sex slave trafficking and the sad epithet of literally millions of young innocent girls around the world. It also draws the attention of the 'Justice Foundation' who accepts the challenge and sends their operations team, led by former U.S. Navy Seal Commander Ian O'Farrell, from the Bay Area to Thailand and the Hong Kong. Their unrelenting search and destroy mission then turns south to Mexico and Guatemala and eventually to the jungles of Northeast Nigeria. At each stop they leave behind an indelible and explosive impression on the diabolical men and women who profit and engage in the sex slave business and liberate innocent young victims to pursue their 'fun-dee', the Thai word for 'dreams'."

Download or read book John Dee s America written by James Alan Egan and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part 1: In 1578, John Dee (1527-1608) wrote series of four manuscripts entitled Limits of the British Empire, explaining why Queen Elizabeth had a legal right to North America (except for Florida, which the Spanish already occupied). Dee's text was lost for centuries, but in 1976, it was discovered and acquired by the British Library. In it, Dee explains that earlier Englishmen like King Arthur, Saint Brendan, Prince Madoc, and John and Sebastian Cabot had already claimed the New World for England. The farsighted Dee even coined the term "British Empire." Convinced by Dee's numerous arguments, the Queen granted letters patent for all of North America north of Florida to one of the generals in the English army, Sir Humphrey Gilbert. Dee chose the site for the Gilbert's first colony (Narragansett Bay in modern Rhode Island). He even named it after himself, the "Dee River and port." In 1582, Dee and his team sent a "preliminary expedition" of two ships and about 80 men. I claim this mission built the Tower, following Dee's blueprints, to be the colony's city center. The settlement failed to take root, but the Tower got built, and it still stands in Touro Park, Newport. Part 2: Governor Benedict Arnold (1615-1678), the first Governor of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations No, this is not Benedict Arnold the traitor. It's the traitor's great-great-great grandfather. The Revolutionary War traitor, Benedict Arnold (V), lived a century after RI Governor Benedict Arnold (I). But, because of his name, Governor Benedict Arnold has been left out of most books on Rhode Island history. And it's a shame, he is he is one of the most imprtant figures in the birth of Rhode Island, which was the birthplace of religious freedom. In 1663, Benedict was appointed by King Charles II to be first Governor of the state. The general populace re-elected him seven times, and when he died, about a thousand people attended his funeral. I also assert Benedict Arnold was responsible for naming Aquidneck island "Rhode Island." And for adopting the "Anchor of Hope" as the state symbol. And for naming the natural harbor at the mouth of the bay "Newport." Furthermore, he named it "Newport," after Newport/Caerleon, Wales, to commemorate King Arthur's Camelot. Camelot? Most modern scholars think King Arthur is fictional. But what we moderns think doesn't really matter. What matters is that back in the 1500s and 1600s the English felt King Arthur actually existed. Not only was he their inspirational hero, they felt the chivalrous Arthur would some day return to save his people. In the mid-1630s, Benedict Arnold was one of the first colonial settlers on Narragansett Bay. I suggest he claimed the Tower and used Newport as an outpost on his three-day shipping route. He transported furs and bushels of Narragansett Indian corn to Boston, and returned with cooking implements, tools, guns, ammunition, and liquor. He soon became one of the wealthiest colonists. Many clues suggest Benedict knew all about the Elizabethan colonization effort of 1583 and how the Tower functioned as a horologium, a building that keeps track of time. Benedict Arnold was buried about 500 feet west of the Tower. And about 500 feet west of his grave was where his Governor's mansion stood, on Thames Street across from his wharf (now called Bowen's Wharf). The Roots of Freedom in America During John Dee's life, England's prevailing religion flipped from Catholic to Protestant to Catholic to Protestant. Dee's dream was to establish a New World utopia, where all religions would be tolerated. And in the 1600s, it was Rhode Island Governor Benedict Arnold who made Dee's vision a reality. And the freedom of conscience enjoyed by Rhode Islanders later influenced the writers of the United States Constitution.
