Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the First Defenders: District of Columbia, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts It is an "old, old story," yet like the Story of the Redemption of Man, is ever and forever new. It is the story of a people enlightened by the lessons of history and devoted to the cultivation of science and the peaceful industries which rendered them superior to the conditions of the false nobility of the Old World, the sham chivalry of the New, and the forced servility of any class or race on the earth. Like the story of the minute-men of Concord and Lexington, the ride of Paul Revere, and the uprising of the infant colonies to meet the attacks of the armies of Great Britain, which is rehearsed in prose and verse with grateful interest and renewed zest in these later years, so the wonderful story of the awaking of the giant to the insidious designs of a hateful element of our political society, the bursting of the bands of contentment and ease, the assertion of the right of free manhood and the leap to arms, the direful conflict, the repulse of liberty's foes, and the conquest of a great, brave people and their restoration to peace, progress, wealth and happiness yet moves the pulse of the patriot with growing intensity, and will fire the free hearts of Americans with zeal for liberty and with love for advancing manhood while the world endures. Pennsylvania and Massachusetts! What paeans of praise have been sung to the gory! How have the historian and the poet immortalized the valor of thy sons and the devoutness of thy daughters! Shall we forget - shall our country ever case to remember, to its latest generation, the heroic service ye rendered her in the hour of trial and danger? Can the men and women, the boys and the girls of this or any succeeding age fail to value truly the blessing of a saved Union, erst in peril from treacherous foes in her own borders, saved to bless the very enemies of her existence, and to travel onward from the glory to glory along the pathway of centuries of increasing Honor?

Download or read book The Alamo s Forgotten Defenders written by Phillip Thomas Tucker and published by Savas Beatie. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the annals of Alamo and Texas Revolutionary historiography, the important contributions of the Irish in winning the struggle against Mexico and establishing a new republic are noticeably absent. Breaking new ground with fresh views and original insights, Phillip Thomas Tucker’s The Forgotten Defenders of the Alamo: The Irish of the Texas Revolution, 1835-1836, sets forth one of the best remaining untold stories of the Alamo and Texas Revolution by exploring a largely forgotten and long ignored history: the dramatic saga of the Irish in Texas. Dr. Tucker has thoroughly explored a hidden history long ignored by generations of historians. Relying upon a wealth of previously unexplored primary sources, The Forgotten Defenders of the Alamo is the first book devoted to the dramatic story of Irish achievements, contributions, and sacrifices in winning independence for Texas. In doing so, Tucker’s study bestows much-needed recognition upon the Irish and shatters a host of long-existing stereotypes and myths about the Texas Revolution. Reflecting a distinctive cultural, political, and military heritage, the Irish possessed a lengthy and distinguished Emerald Isle revolutionary tradition reborn during the Texas uprising of 1835-1836. The Irish were the largest immigrant group in Texas at the time and among the most vocal and passionate of liberty-loving revolutionaries in all Texas. Symbolically, the largely Ireland-born garrison of Goliad raised the first flag of Texas Independence months before the Alamo’s fall. More than a dozen natives of Ireland fought and died at the Alamo, and the old Franciscan mission’s garrison primarily consisted of soldiers of Scotch-Irish descent. From 1835-1836, Irish Protestants and Catholics made invaluable and disproportionate contributions in the struggle for Texas Independence that will no longer pass unrecognized. Presented not only as a military history of the Irish in the Texas Revolution, but also as a social, economic, and cultural history of the Irish in Texas, The Forgotten Defenders of the Alamo will stand as a long-overdue corrective to the outdated “standard” views of the story of the Alamo and the Texas Revolution.

Download or read book America s First Ladies written by Nancy Hendricks and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-10-13 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet the First Ladies of the United States—sometimes inspiring, sometimes tragic, always fascinating—women who, though often unsung, helped hold the nation together in its infancy and advance it as a world power. More than simply serving as America's "hostesses," many of the nation's First Ladies played vital roles in shaping their husband's presidency and serving as political activists in their own right. From Martha Washington to Michelle Obama, their inspiring stories come alive in this handsomely illustrated encyclopedia. Within its pages, the First Ladies are revealed as human beings who, one day, awoke to find the eyes of the world upon them. The book differs from others by showcasing America's First Ladies in their own words, as flesh-and-blood individuals. Readers will discover which First Lady held off Napoleon's army with a toy sword, why women had to be "pale, frail, and ailing," and which First Lady was called "Sunshine" and which was "Hellcat." Each entry includes a biographical essay that details the life of the woman and places her within the political, social, and cultural context of her time. Each also offers a related primary document that helps define the First Lady's legacy as well as a short bibliography for further information. Written in a lively, compelling style, this highly readable volume is perfect for junior high, high school, and college students as well as the general public.
