Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Texas Frontier, 1820-1825 The purpose of this paper is to discuss the conditions and causes which led to the first serious trouble between the Mexican government and the anglo-americans who settled in Texas in the early twenties. The difficulties which proved the ruin of the colonization project of Hayden Ed wards and caused the first armed conflict between the Amer ican settlers in Texas and their adopted country were the logical, indeed the inevitable, outgrowth of conditions for which Edwards was in no wise responsible and which came into being long before he received permission to colonize the country around Nacogdoches.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Quirt and the Spur: Vanishing Shadows of the Texas Frontier And there is much that is interesting in the telling, too, notwithstanding my friend the critic may not find, in the warp and woof of the story, the weaving of a narrative that he can pronounce all wool and a yard wide. I will be content if the few remaining frontier men and their descendants can unravel a thread or two that will prove interesting reading. In the fire light when the embers glow, I see the vanishing shadows come and go, Peopled with the figures I once knew; Fancy figures now - farewell - adieu!

Download or read book The Comanche Empire written by Pekka Hamalainen and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking history of the rise and decline of the vast and imposing Native American empire. In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, a Native American empire rose to dominate the fiercely contested lands of the American Southwest, the southern Great Plains, and northern Mexico. This powerful empire, built by the Comanche Indians, eclipsed its various European rivals in military prowess, political prestige, economic power, commercial reach, and cultural influence. Yet, until now, the Comanche empire has gone unrecognized in American history. This compelling and original book uncovers the lost story of the Comanches. It is a story that challenges the idea of indigenous peoples as victims of European expansion and offers a new model for the history of colonial expansion, colonial frontiers, and Native-European relations in North America and elsewhere. Pekka Hämäläinen shows in vivid detail how the Comanches built their unique empire and resisted European colonization, and why they fell to defeat in 1875. With extensive knowledge and deep insight, the author brings into clear relief the Comanches’ remarkable impact on the trajectory of history. 2009 Winner of the Bancroft Prize in American History “Cutting-edge revisionist western history…. Immensely informative, particularly about activities in the eighteenth century.”—Larry McMurtry, The New York Review of Books “Exhilarating…a pleasure to read…. It is a nuanced account of the complex social, cultural, and biological interactions that the acquisition of the horse unleashed in North America, and a brilliant analysis of a Comanche social formation that dominated the Southern Plains.”—Richard White, author of The Middle Ground: Indians, Empires, and Republics in the Great Lakes Region, 1650-1815

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Texas Ranger Within the memory of those of us still on the sunny side of forty the more remote West has passed from rollicking boyhood to its responsible majority. The frontier has gone to join the good Indian. In place of the ranger who patrolled the border for bad men has come the forest ranger, type of the forward lapping tide of civilization.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Frontier Knight: A Story of Early Texan Border-Life The sun was shining gloriously across level sweeps of blue grass meadow-land, and sending its beams through the windows of a plain, substantial, country house, where it made squares of brightness on the whitewashed walls, sharply outlining the shadows, and touching to gold the fair hair of a girl who sat motionless on a low stool near the window. She was thinking intently and did not heed the entrance of an older girl who glanced at her with a smile and began to busy herself about the room. Finally the girl at the window gave a deep sigh and stretched her hands above her head. "Oh, is it dinner time, Christine?" she said. "Very near," was the reply. "What a brown study you were in, Alison; you must have been miles away." "And so I was. I must decide, you know." "Yes, I do know." There was a serious note in Christine's voice. "And have you decided?" she asked after a pause. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The New Urban Frontier written by Neil Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-10-26 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why have so many central and inner cities in Europe, North America and Australia been so radically revamped in the last three decades, converting urban decay into new chic? Will the process continue in the twenty-first century or has it ended? What does this mean for the people who live there? Can they do anything about it? This book challenges conventional wisdom, which holds gentrification to be the simple outcome of new middle-class tastes and a demand for urban living. It reveals gentrification as part of a much larger shift in the political economy and culture of the late twentieth century. Documenting in gritty detail the conflicts that gentrification brings to the new urban 'frontiers', the author explores the interconnections of urban policy, patterns of investment, eviction, and homelessness. The failure of liberal urban policy and the end of the 1980s financial boom have made the end-of-the-century city a darker and more dangerous place. Public policy and the private market are conspiring against minorities, working people, the poor, and the homeless as never before. In the emerging revanchist city, gentrification has become part of this policy of revenge.
