Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Man With the Iron Hand The purpose of this book is to present in read able narrative form, yet with strict accuracy, some of the events which attended the coming of the French explorers into the Mississippi Valley, and to deal with these events as much as possible from the standpoint of the Indians whose country the white men entered. In other words, an effort has been made to place the reader in the position and environment of the native inhabitants in order that he may witness the coming of the whites through the eyes and minds of the Indians instead of viewing from the outside the exploration, by men of his own kind, of an unknown land peopled by a strange and vaguely understood race.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Man With the Iron Hand: Chevalier Henry De Tonty's Exploits in the Valley of the Mississippi In the geographical nomenclature of the North American continent are perpetuated the names of the adventurous men whose achievements have made the story of the great lakes region the most romantic period of American history. Cities, rivers and islands suggest by their names the adventures of hardy coureur de bois and zealous Jesuit and Sulpitian priests. The names of La Salle, DuLuth, Joliet, Perrot, d'Iberville, Bienville, Marquette and Allouez have been thus associated with the scenes of their adventures. Even Louis Hennepin, the vainglorious Franciscan friar, has had honor done his name by two great commonwealths of the old Northwest. But nowhere on the modern map - from the Gulf of Mexico to Baffin's Bay and from the Vermilion Sea to the Bay of Fundy, appears the name of Chevalier Henry de Tonty. Historians have accorded Tonty a meagerness of mention amounting to neglect. With singular unanimity - for, like the doctors, historians are wont to disagree in their judgments - they have recognized his right to a leading place among the men whose courage and fortitude rendered possible the exploration and settlement of the great Mississippi basin; but a connected narrative of Tonty's life remains to-day unwritten. It can be found only in scattered fragments, incidents that figure in the telling of other men's careers.

Download or read book The Iron Hand of Mars written by Lindsey Davis and published by Minotaur Books. This book was released on 2011-06-21 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Germanic troops in the service of the Empire begin to rebel, and a Roman general disappears, Emperor Vespasian turns to the one man he can trust: Marcus Didius Falco, a private informer whose rates are low enough that even the stingy Vespasian is willing to pay them. To Falco, an undercover tour of Germania is an assignment from Hades. On a journey that only a stoic could survive, Falco meets with disarray, torture, and murder. His one hope: in the northern forest lives a powerful Druid priestess who perhaps can be persuaded to cease her anti-Rome activities and work for peace. Which Falco is eagerly hoping for as, back in Rome, the Titus Caesar is busy trying to make time with Helena Justina, a senator's daughter and Falco's girlfriend. Lindsey Davis' historical mystery Iron Hand of Mars is a "Seamless blending of humor, history and adventure" (Publishers Weekly).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Victor Hugo These Greek capitals, black with age, and quite deeply graven in the stone, with I know not what signs peculiar to Gothic caligraphy imprinted upon their forms and upon their attitudes, as though with the purpose of revealing that it had been a hand of the Middle Ages which had inscribed them there, and especially the fatal and melancholy meaning contained in them, struck the author deeply. He questioned himself; he sought to divine who could have been that soul in torment which had not been willing to quit this world without leaving this stigma of crime or unhappi ness upon the brow of the ancient church.

His friends had prepared an elaborate hoax, per haps a mechanical toy, he thought, by way of a birthday joke. But Iris was first to speak. Well! If I ever! She exclaimed. What in the world can it be? Vail thrust his hand in his pocket, as they stood there looking at the box. It's probably a railroad - a lot of toy cars, loco motives, track, and all the rest. For half a cent I'd let it stand unopened and wait for the sender to give himself away by asking fool questions about it.

Being one of the few to know the prisoner’s identity, Aramis conspires to replace the King of France with his twin brother, with the idea that the prisoner will be a better ruler for France. How will this plan turn out? Will Aramis succeed? When the other musketeers find out about the plan what stand will they take? To find out, read this classic tale of love, politics and loyalty.
