Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Inter Ocean: Curiosity Shop; For the Year 1881 The three preceding annual volumes of Our. Curiosity Shop are so well known to the readers of The Inter Ocean that this one, the fourth, needs no introduction. Since the issue of the number for the year 1880, numerous and hearty commendations have been received from representatives of many of the leading professions educators, lawyers, editors, and business men generally in regard both to the aim and the character of this form of Our Curiosity Shop; and all have in various ways expressed the opinion that, in its treatment of the myriad subjects it touches, it has been at once thorough and concise, so that none were compelled to search through the usual bushel of chaff for the single coveted golden grain. The intelligent reader will, upon a moments reflection, appreciate the fact that each year the labor of preparing a work of this kind for the general public is materially increased. An annual encyclopedia confines itself to the recording of the events of the year; it Is, as the newspaper, the hasty historian of the day. With Our Curiosity Shop, however, it is somewhat different More than a barren chronological record of a twelvemonth or a decade, it reaches out and appropriates for the benefit of its readers the most recent developments and discoveries of science; it seeks to explain the greater or lesser social and political movements of the past and of the hour; it compresses into the smallest space possible the best thought of religious teachers and other educators; and it presents for the noble emulation of the young the outlines of the lives and characters of those who have risen to distinction in the several walks of life. And the cost of this miniature library of miscellaneous information for the people is so trifling that it rests lightly upon all who are moved to purchase copies of it for themselves or for the use of their friends. The attention of the readers of the following pages is invited to the Index, which has been compiled with considerable care, and without which Our Curiosity Shop would resemble a windowless, doorless storehouse, containing, perhaps, "many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore," but which, were it not for it, might remain "nameless here forever more."

Download or read book God s Man for the Gilded Age written by Bruce J. Evensen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-09-25 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At his death on the eve of the 20th century, D.L. Moody was widely recognized as one of the most beloved and important of men in 19th-century America. A Chicago shoe salesman with a fourth grade education, Moody rose from obscurity to become God's man for the Gilded Age. He was the Billy Graham of his day--indeed it could be said that Moody invented the system of evangelism that Graham inherited and perfected. Bruce J. Evensen focuses on the pivotal years during which Moody established his reputation on both sides of the Atlantic through a series of highly popular and publicized campaigns. In four short years Moody forged the bond between revivalism and the mass media that persists to this day. Beginning in Britain in 1873 and extending across America's urban landscape, first in Brooklyn and then in Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, and Boston, Moody used the power of prayer and publicity to stage citywide crusades that became civic spectacles. Modern newspapers, in the grip of economic depression, needed a story to stimulate circulation and found it in Moody's momentous mission. The evangelist and the press used one another in creating a sense of civic excitement that manufactured the largest crowds in municipal history. Critics claimed this machinery of revival was man-made. Moody's view was that he'd rather advertise than preach to empty pews. He brought a businessman's common sense to revival work and became, much against his will, a celebrity evangelist. The press in city after city made him the star of the show and helped transform his religious stage into a communal entertainment of unprecedented proportions. In chronicling Moody's use of the press and their use of him, Evensen sheds new light on a crucial chapter in the history of evangelicalism and demonstrates how popular religion helped form our modern media culture.
Download or read book Sovereignty RIP written by Don Herzog and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has the concept of sovereignty outlived its usefulness? SSocial order requires a sovereign: an actor with unlimited, undivided, and unaccountable authority. Or so the classic theory says. But without noticing, we've gutted the theory. Constitutionalism limits state authority. Federalism divides it. The rule of law holds it accountable. In vivid historical detail--with millions tortured and slaughtered in Europe, a king put on trial for his life, journalists groaning at idiotic complaints about the League of Nations, and much more--Don Herzog charts both the political struggles that forged sovereignty and the ones that undid it. He argues that it's no longer a helpful guide to our legal and political problems, but a pernicious bit of confusion. It's time, past time, to retire sovereignty.

Download or read book 1877 written by Michael A. Bellesiles and published by New Press, The. This book was released on 2010-08-10 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[A] powerful examination of a nation trying to make sense of the complex changes and challenges of the post–Civil War era.” —Carol Berkin, author of A Brilliant Solution: Inventing the American Constitution In 1877—a decade after the Civil War—not only was the United States gripped by a deep depression, but the country was also in the throes of nearly unimaginable violence and upheaval, marking the end of the brief period known as Reconstruction and reestablishing white rule across the South. In the wake of the contested presidential election of 1876, white supremacist mobs swept across the South, killing and driving out the last of the Reconstruction state governments. A strike involving millions of railroad workers turned violent as it spread from coast to coast, and for a moment seemed close to toppling the nation’s economic structure. Celebrated historian Michael A. Bellesiles reveals that the fires of that fated year also fueled a hothouse of cultural and intellectual innovation. He relates the story of 1877 not just through dramatic events, but also through the lives of famous and little-known Americans alike. “A superb and troubling book about the soul of Modern America.” —William Deverell, director of the Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West “A bold, insightful book, richly researched, and fast paced . . . Bellesiles vividly portrays on a single canvas the violent confrontations in 1877.” —Alfred F. Young, coeditor of Revolutionary Founders: Rebels, Radicals, and Reformers in the Making of the Nation “[A] wonderful read that is sure to appeal to those interested in the challenges of creating a post–Civil War society.” —Choice

Download or read book Jefferson Davis s Flight from Richmond written by John Stewart and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-12-24 with total page 779 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the space of a few hours on the night of April 2, 1865, Richmond, the Confederate capital, was evacuated and burned, the government fled, slavery was finished in North America, Union forces entered the city and the outcome of the Civil War was effectively sealed. No official documents tell the story because the Confederate government was on the run. First there were newspaper accounts--mostly confused--then history books based on those accounts. But much of what we know about the fall of Richmond comes from "eyewitnesses" like Confederate Navy Secretary Stephen Mallory, whose tale became history. A great deal of what has been presented over the years by historians has been plagiarized, invented or misconstrued, and nearly all we have learned of Jefferson Davis's flight from Richmond to Danville is wrong. This book closely examines all relevant source material--much of it newly discovered by the author--as well as the writers, diarists and eyewitnesses themselves, and constructs a minutely detailed new account that comes closer to what Abraham Lincoln had in mind when he said, "History is not history unless it is the truth."
