Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1921. Frontispiece by Orrin White. The book begins: It began to happen a long time ago, centuries ago, when, in a fragrant rush of rain, spring came one day to Punagwandah, fairest of the Channel Islands. Beneath the golden mists of sunrise danced a radiant sea. On steeply sloping hillsides where thickets of wild lilac bloomed, the lark shook from his tiny throat a tumult of glad music. In shadowed niches of the canyons lilies waited to fill with light their gleaming ivory cups. Spring in very truth was there.

Download or read book The Call of Gold written by Newell D. Chamberlain and published by Great West Books. This book was released on 2002 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newell D. Chamberlain was born in 1880 and spent his early years in San Francisco. In 1926 he established Camp Midpines, so named because it was "amidst the pines and midway between Merced and Yosemite." In the 1930s he compiled this chronicle of events during and after the Gold Rush -- drawing on newspapers of the time and interviews with early pioneers and their children. The result is this kaleidoscopic view of life in a dramatic era in the history of California. Illustrated with many historic photographs, some of which have not previously been published.

Book excerpt: STANFORD UNIVERSITY THE FIRST TWENTY-FIVE YEARS ORRIN LESLIE ELLIOTT Registrar of the University 1891-1925 STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CALIFORNIA LONDON HUMPHREY MILFORD OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CALIFORNIA LONDON HUMPHREY MILFORD OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS THE BAKER AND TAYLOR COMPANY 55 FIFTH AVENUE, NKW YORK MARTJNUS NlJHOFF 9 LANCE VOORHOUT, THE HAGUE THE MARUZKN COMPANY TOKYO, OSAKA, KYOTO, SENDAl COPYRIGHT 1937 BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES Ofr THE LKLANB STANFORD JUNIOR UNIVERSITY PRINTED AND BOUND IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BY STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRMS The Children of California Shall Be Our Children FOREWORD Biographies are intriguing human documents. We like to have the record tell us o a great mans ancestors, his old home, his childhood, and then his career. Universities are living units. To have one born in our midst and to watch its struggles and its growth and career has been the opportunity of the passing gen eration. Stanford University has spent its life in the open, under public and private inspection. Nearly everyone knows some things about it that are true and a good deal that is not. Dr. Orrin Leslie Elliott came to Stanford when it started its educational work. He has lived with it ever since, and knows all about its first faltering steps, its childhood diseases and acci dents, and the background of its astounding growth and success. He has written the story for us as a labor of love and with that keen sense of values that makes a true historian. As a story, regardless of the persons involved, it is a ro mance of our Western civilization that carries its own interest in every chapter. What he has writtenwill help us all to under stand Stanford better and to know about universities. As the outstanding hope o the human family we need to know as much as we can in order to do our share in keeping our univer sities alive and growing, and in providing through them a free zone for the fullest possible blooming of the human intellect and spirit. RAY LYMAN WILBUR AUTHORS PREFACE Although Stanford University has now entered upon its forty-sixth year, this book properly comes to an end with the completion of the first quarter-century of its existence. These twenty-five years, covering the presidencies of Dr. Jordan and Dr. Branner, bring to a close what may not inappropriately be termed the heroic age of the University whose course of de velopment and significant events are now far enough in the past to be seen in fair perspective. Among the characteristics which an intimate history, such as is here attempted, should be expected to bring into relief are the following The farsighted, unselfish, and nobly generous purpose of Mr. and Mrs. Stanford in the creation of a memorial foundation devoted singly to the public good the inspiring personality and daring leadership of Dr. Jordan in realizing the educational opportunities of the Found ers design and in guiding the destinies of the University through dark days and bright the courage and steadfastness of Mrs. Stanford in very trying times and circumstances the day by-day problems and the larger crises in the onflowing life of the University above all, the Stanford loyalties and the light heartedness and joyousness which characterized the life of the community, students and faculty, whatever the day might bring forth, Stanford men and women who havelived through some or all of these early years will not fail to recall countless instances which confirm, or interpret, or supplement what is here recorded. And to Stanford folk of all times may there not come a deeper realization of the price that was paid for the great inheritance which is theirs...
Download or read book The Mythical West written by Richard W. Slatta and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2001-11-20 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This cultural journey down memory lane showcases how major Western figures, events, and places have been portrayed in folk legends, art, literature, and popular culture. Ever since the days of the 49ers and George Armstrong Custer, the Old West has been America's most potent source of legend. But it is sometimes hard to separate fact from fiction. Did you know, for example, that Annie Oakley was a talented marksman who shot an estimated 40,000 rounds per year while practicing and performing for Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show in the late l800s? Or that many interpreters believe that The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is not just a fairy tale, but also a Populist allegory? These are just two of the folk legends dissected and examined in this veritable cultural geography. The volume covers everything from billionaire Howard Hughes and composer Aaron Copeland to Aztlan (the legendary first city of the Aztecs) and Area 51, the top-secret U.S. Air Force base at Groom Lake, Nevada, that has fascinated UFO and conspiracy buffs.

Download or read book Stranger God written by Richard Beck and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accessible, challenging, funny, and one of the best reads on how to love others in any situation. Love and hospitality can change the way you see the world and others. That's exactly what modern-day theologian, Richard Beck, experienced when he first led a Bible study at a local maximum security prison. Beck believed the promise of Matthew 25 that states when we visit the prisoner, we encounter Jesus. Sure enough, God met Beck in prison. With his signature combination of biblical reflection, theological reasoning, and psychological insight, Beck shows how God always meets us when we entertain the marginalized, the oppressed, and the refugee. Stories from Beck's own life illustrate this truth -- God comes to him in the poor, the crippled, the smelly. Psychological experiments show how we are predisposed to appreciate those who are similar to us and avoid those who are unlike us. The call of the gospel, however, is to override those impulses with compassion, to "widen the circle of our affection." In the end, Beck turns to the Little Way of St. Thérèse of Lisieux for guidance in doing even the smallest acts with kindness, and he lays out a path that any of us can follow.
