This book was released on 2024-10-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Allow me to present a seafaring adventure of three boys, sixteen, fourteen, and twelve, sold into bondage in 1776 aboard the British Naval ship, the HMS Culloden. It is an endeavor starting on the ship’s maiden voyage as it enters the colonies’ rebellion in the American Revolution. The story ventures into the open seas like the great novel Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. The shock of being sold into such an experience by their beloved mother gives them little time to deal with the trauma of the endeavor. The sudden thrust into sailoring takes the boys by the seat of their pants into the world of sea challenges and danger. Live the life of these three boys from one adventure to another, bonded to that ship as long as it sails. Things take a turn toward a different path when the ship runs aground on Long Island in New York, and they volunteer to remain on the ship as the rest of the crew escapes the approaching French Navy with the assignment to light the explosives in the hull of the ship and flee for their lives as the ship is boarded by hostile French marines. One escape from danger and bondage brought capture by the colonists and sent to General George Washington’s forces across the bay. Using wit and survival skills, convincing the captures they are pirates washed ashore, they manage to join the colonial army as cannoneers. Their expert cannon assignment aboard the HMS Culloden brings them good favor, finding the French had finally arrived, joining the fight in full force, carrying a significant resupply of newly designed rifled cannons to the battlefield. From seafaring men to artillery men, they continued their adventure. George Washington moved his forces south to take on an exhausted British force under General Cornwallis. Using the French Navy to blockade, reinforced soldiers on the ground, they pin Cornwallis down at the port city of Yorktown, and the cannons rang a constant bombardment on the tattered army, rendering an eventual surrender of Britain’s seasoned forces. This story, told to this writer by his late grandfather, a historical fiction manuscript takes the given account and matches the research of the only British naval ship to shipwreck and sinking during the American Revolution. The story unfolds outlined by the authentic voyages of the HMS Culloden, the historically short five and a half years at sea, and the three ancestors of this author; their adventures come alive in growing up challenges, angry at their situation, but determined to stick together with hopes of one day being free.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautiful commemorative edition of Dr. Martin Luther King's essay "Letter from Birmingham Jail," part of Dr. King's archives published exclusively by HarperCollins. With an afterword by Reginald Dwayne Betts On April 16, 1923, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., responded to an open letter written and published by eight white clergyman admonishing the civil rights demonstrations happening in Birmingham, Alabama. Dr. King drafted his seminal response on scraps of paper smuggled into jail. King criticizes his detractors for caring more about order than justice, defends nonviolent protests, and argues for the moral responsibility to obey just laws while disobeying unjust ones. "Letter from Birmingham Jail" proclaims a message - confronting any injustice is an acceptable and righteous reason for civil disobedience. This beautifully designed edition presents Dr. King's speech in its entirety, paying tribute to this extraordinary leader and his immeasurable contribution, and inspiring a new generation of activists dedicated to carrying on the fight for justice and equality.
Download or read book Revolution for the Hell of It written by Abbie Hoffman and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2009-04-28 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the supremely popular Steal This Book is a guide to living outside the establishment, Revolution for the Hell of It is a chronicle of Abbie Hoffman's radical escapades that doubles as a guidebook for today's social and political activist. Hoffman pioneered the use of humor, theater, and shock value to drive home his points, and in Revolution for the Hell of It he gives firsthand accounts of his legendary adventures, from the activism that led to the founding of the Youth International Party—or "Yippies!—to the 1968 Democratic National Convention protests ("a Perfect Mess") that resulted in his conviction as part of the Chicago Seven. Also chronicled are the mass demonstrations he led in which over fifty thousand people attempted to levitate the Pentagon using psychic energy, and the time he threw fistfuls of dollar bills onto the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and watched the traders scramble. With antiwar sentiment once again in a furor and an incendiary political climate not seen since the book's original printing, Abbie Hoffman's voice is more essential than ever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does one begin to understand the idea of a distinctive southern way of life—a concept as enduring as it is disputed? In this examination of the American South in national and global contexts, celebrated historian Charles Reagan Wilson assesses how diverse communities of southerners have sought to define the region's identity. Surveying three centuries of southern regional consciousness across many genres, disciplines, and cultural strains, Wilson considers and challenges prior presentations of the region, advancing a vision of southern culture that has always been plural, dynamic, and complicated by race and class. Structured in three parts, The Southern Way of Life takes readers on a journey from the colonial era to the present, from when complex ideas of "southern civilization" rooted in slaveholding and agrarianism dominated to the twenty-first-century rise of a modern, multicultural "southern living." As Wilson shows, there is no singular or essential South but rather a rich tapestry woven with contestations, contingencies, and change.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 1013 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: V.2: Building upon their critically acclaimed first volume, Davis W. Houck and David E. Dixon's new Rhetoric, Religion, and the Civil Rights Movement, 1954-1965 is a recovery project of enormous proportions. Houck and Dixon have again combed church archives, government documents, university libraries, and private collections in pursuit of the civil rights movement's long-buried eloquence. Their new work presents fifty new speeches and sermons delivered by both famed leaders and little-known civil rights activists on national stages and in quiet shacks. The speeches carry novel insights into the ways in which individuals and communities utilized religious rhetoric to upset the racial status quo in divided America during the civil rights era. Houck and Dixon's work illustrates again how a movement so prominent in historical scholarship still has much to teach us. (Publisher).
