Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Oklahoma Scout At Louisville I remember spending fifty cents in fractional currency (they were not introducing laws to abolish silver in those days, for it had abolished itself) for a couple of cylinder escapement pies, that is, pies whose contents, if they ever had any, had escaped like my fellow out of the car window. I next found myself quartered in the Zollicoffer House at Nashville, Tennessee. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Boy Scouts written by Thornton Waldo Burgess and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-04-22 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Boy Scouts: On Lost Trail Those who have read The Boy Scouts of Woodcraft Camp, the first book in this series, will need no introduction to most of the char actera of the present volume. Four of them are members of Dr. Merriam's famous vaca tion school in the deep woods, a camp con ducted under Boy Scout law, but with tribes instead of patrols, each tribe having as chief a Scout of the first class. Three of them were principal characters in the second volume, The Boy Scouts on Swift River. On that trip they made practical use of the things they had learned at Woodcraft Camp, and their experiences further fitted them for the severer tests, such as are necessarily entailed by an overland trip through the wilderness, such a trip as in this volume they take in their search for Lost Trail.

Book excerpt: Born at the start of the Civil War, Juliette "Daisy" Gordon Low struggled to reconcile being a good Southern belle with being true to her adventurous spirit. Accidentally deafened, she married a dashing British patrician and moved to England, where she quickly became dissatisfied with the aimlessness of privileged life. Her search for greater purpose ended when she met Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts, and was inspired to recreate his program for girls. The Girl Scouts of the USA—which can now count more than fifty-nine million American girls and women among its past members—aims to instill useful skills and moral values in its young members, with an emphasis on fun. In this lively and accessible biography of its intrepid founder, Stacy A. Cordery paints a dynamic portrait of an intriguing woman and a true pioneer whose work touched the lives of millions of girls and women around the world.

Download or read book Kit Carson written by David Remley and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2011-11-10 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History has portrayed Christopher "Kit" Carson in black and white. Best known as a nineteenth-century frontier hero, he has been represented more recently as an Indian killer responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Navajos. Biographer David Remley counters these polarized views, finding Carson to be less than a mythical hero, but more than a simpleminded rascal with a rifle. Kit Carson: The Life of an American Border Man strikes a balance between prevailing notions about this quintessential western figure. Whereas the dime novelists exploited Carson's popular reputation, Remley reveals that the real man was dependable, ethical, and—for his day—relatively open-minded. Sifting through the extensive scholarship about Kit, the author illuminates the key dimensions of Carson's life, including his often neglected Scots-Irish heritage. His people's dire poverty and restlessness, their clannish rural life and sternly Protestant character, committed Carson, like his Scots-Irish ancestors, to loyalty and duty and to following his leader into battle without question. Remley also places Carson in the context of his times by exploring his controversial relations with American Indians. Although despised for the merciless warfare he led on General James H. Carleton's behalf against the Navajos, Carson lived amicably among many Indian people, including the Utes, whom he served as U.S. government agent. Happily married to Waa-Nibe, an Arapaho woman, until her death, he formed a lasting friendship with their daughter, Adaline. Remley sees Carson as a complicated man struggling to master life on America's borders, those highly unstable areas where people of different races, cultures, and languages met, mixed, and fought, sometimes against each other, sometimes together, for the possession of home, hunting rights, and honor.
