Download or read book Peacemakers written by Michael Leroy Oberg and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peacemakers: The Iroquois, the United States, and the Treaty of Canandaigua, 1794 offers a glimpse into how native peoples participated in the intercultural diplomacy of the New Nation and how they worked to protect their communities against enormous odds. The book introduces students, in detail, to the Treaty of Canandaigua, which is little known outside of Central New York. It examines how the Six Nations of the Iroquois secured from the United States a recognition of their sovereign status as separate polities with the right to the "free use and enjoyment" of their lands. In the fall of 1794 leaders from the Six Nations of the Iroquois met with officials from the U.S. in Canandaigua, New York. Iroquois leaders sought the restoration of lands they had lost a decade before at the coercive treaty of Fort Stanwix, which was negotiated with delegates sent from the American Congress under the Articles of Confederation. They felt cheated and aggrieved. The Iroquois delegates also sought the "brightening" of the Covenant Chain alliance which historically had linked the Six Nations to their non-Indian friends and allies. President George Washington sent Timothy Pickering to represent the U.S. at Canandaigua. Washington instructed Pickering to secure from the Six Nations a pledge to take no part in the powerful Indian uprising then occurring in the Northwest Territory. Washington, Pickering, and others in the national government feared that hostile Indians could set the young republic's frontiers ablaze from New York through the Carolinas. Land-hungry New Yorkers, who saw in the acquisition and sale of Iroquois lands a means to finance state government without resorting to a politically inexpedient program of taxation, watched closely and with great suspicion Pickering's actions. The British, meanwhile, still clung to a number of their posts on American soil in the early-1790s. Quietly, they hoped connections to Indian communities on American territory might restrain the territorial aggressiveness of the young republic.

Book The Canandaigua Letters

  • ISBN :
  • Pages : 404 pages

Download or read book The Canandaigua Letters written by William Winship and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-02 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early weeks of 1968, North Korean leader Kim Il Sung gazed down across the Chinese mainland and-observing half a million U.S. ground troops mired in Vietnam-decided that the moment had arrived to push the Americans off the Korean peninsula. The Pentagon countered by deploying a handful of infantry battalions from the U.S. Army's Second Division along an eighteen-mile stretch of the Demilitarized Zone, fronting North Korea's traditional invasion route. What followed was a war that waxed and waned over the course of three years along the Korean DMZ-and so successfully did the Pentagon suppress all reports of this conflict that the story is still unknown today. The Canandaigua Letters provides a stunningly vivid account of the final year of this military conflict, documented by an Emmy-nominated director and multi-award-winning writer, who looks back half a century to the moment he flunked out of college as a beleaguered sophomore, was yanked from the sanctuary of a Midwestern liberal arts school, and drafted into the U.S. Army."The most comprehensive and compelling account of the military journey in the Vietnam era-and the bonds that soldiers forged along that path. An astonishing feat of memory." -Lt. Col. (ret.) Thomas W. Rutledge, U.S. Army

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: See how Conensus Lake has grown to become a Finger Lakes tourist hotspot. Conesus Lake is the westernmost of the 11 Finger Lakes. Often referred to as one of the "Little Fingers," it is located about 25 miles south of Rochester, New York. In 1924, the City of Rochester announced plans to use Conesus Lake to supplement the water supply for its residents. A year later, cottagers around the lake successfully banded together to protect Conesus's sparkling waters and preserve the area as a summer resort. Over time, the lake area has grown, and restaurants, taverns, campgrounds, and amusement parks have sprung up from the demand of the lake's many visitors. Today, four towns--Geneseo, Groveland, Conesus, and Livonia--border the approximate 18 miles of shoreline.

Book Walking in Mud

    Book Details:
  • Author : Steve Giblin
  • Publisher : Post Hill Press
  • Release : 2021-11-09
  • ISBN : 1637580657
  • Pages : 167 pages

Download or read book Walking in Mud written by Steve Giblin and published by Post Hill Press. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During his first few weeks as a Navy SEAL, Steve Giblin found a simple, typewritten document left behind in an old desk drawer by the Team commanding officer, entitled “THE TEN ESSENTIAL QUALITIES OF AN UNDERWATER DEMOLITION MAN.” That single page, and the maxims it contained, followed Steve wherever he was based during his twenty-six-year career with the SEALs—fourteen of those as part of the legendary strike force that took down Osama bin Laden. Steve still lives by those tenets today, coming to realize how it laid out a regimen not just for elite warriors, but also for the rest of us in our day-to-day lives. Now Steve has applied them to this post-COVID-19 world we find ourselves living in, a new normal that will test both our resolve and our psyches as we’re challenged as we’ve never been before. Applying his own experiences as a Navy SEAL to these everyday rigors, Steve provides a prescription for both healing and thriving, a guide map to get to the other side better and stronger than we were at the beginning of a journey none of us signed up for. We’re all walking in mud; thankfully, this book offers the best and surest strategy to lift ourselves from it.
