Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contributions by Joshua Coleman, Christine Hand Jones, Kevin C. Neece, Charlotte Pence, George Plasketes, Jeffrey Scholes, Jeff Sellars, Toby Thompson, and Jude Warne After performing with Ronnie Hawkins as the Hawks (1957–1964), The Band (Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel, Robbie Robertson, and Levon Helm) eventually rose to fame in the sixties as backing musicians for Bob Dylan. This collaboration with Dylan presented the group with a chance to expand musically and strike out on their own. The Band’s fusion of rock, country, soul, and blues music—all tinged with a southern flavor and musical adventurousness—created a unique soundscape. The combined use of multiple instruments, complex song structures, and poetic lyrics required attentive listening and a sophisticated interpretive framework. It is no surprise, then, that they soon grew to be one of the biggest bands of their era. In Rags and Bones: An Exploration of The Band, scholars and musicians take a broad, multidisciplinary approach to The Band and their music, allowing for examination through sociological, historical, political, religious, technological, cultural, and philosophical means. Each contributor approaches The Band from their field of interest, offering a wide range of investigations into The Band’s music and influence. Commercially successful and critically lauded, The Band created a paradoxically mythic and hauntingly realistic lyrical landscape for their songs—and their musicianship enlarged this detailed landscape. This collection offers a rounded examination, allowing the multifaceted music and work of The Band to be appreciated by audiences old and new.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Civil War novel Ragman's Roll takes readers back to that bitter period of American history, as two men enlist right after war breaks out. Will Wallace and Tom Jackson were aides and security agents for President Lincoln. After helping him win the presidency in 1860, they are now embarking on a new adventure, fending off death and the possible division of the union. Tom becomes a scout for Will, who rises in rank to become Union General W. H. L. Wallace. As the hero of two battles, Fort Donelson and Shiloh, Wallace was responsible for saving Grant's army at the Battle of Shiloh, despite being fatally injured on the battlefield. A secondary plot focuses on the dreams of General Wallace as he lay dying from his wounds. A vision appears to him, reminding of him of the true reason for his sacrifice: to ensure the end of slavery and preserve democracy.

Mex., to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and to the Secretary of the Interior, as follows: On my arrival tit this place, I entered my thirty-third Indian reservation, in all of which I have studied to the best of my ability the question of Indian education. Not a little time has been spent in each of the larger training schools, but much more time face to face with the great needs of the reservations, which present the primary phases of the Indian educational problem. As the result, some ideas held tentatively at first have been settling into clearer and more decided convictions. Having thus studied this problem in llicfield, in personal contact with the living issues, I respectfully avail myself of the advisory functions of my ofliee, and speak with greater confidence upon some matters than heretofore I have done. When I left Washington the attention of the office was much directed to the enlargement of the great training schools--(, 'arlisle, Haskell, Genoa, and C'hilocco, and to the building of another such at Pierre. S. Dak. I tacitly assented to the policy, though not without grave doubts as to its wisdom, at this time. It is not from lack of faith in those schools, for I have the fullest confidence, but from a growing conviction that the present most important and urgent work is in reservation schools, which greatly need to be enlarged and multiplied, and which, I fear, will be hindered, and possibly prevented, by the absorption of so much of the limited appropriations granted by Congress, for those large schools. The time has come to build more at the base and less at the apex. The.

Download or read book The Wilderness Singers written by John Zepf and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-04 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A nearly forgotten literary lion in winter, holding forth in a nursing home in New York City while a pair of media players hover around him mysteriously; a frustrated would-be impresario struggling on the fringes of nineteen-fifties popular music; a persevering cat whose adventures seem to embody a mysterious metaphor of survival; a buttoned-down engineer and his desperate gamble; these and other characters inhabit an unusual debut collection of fictional writing. Often moving and emotionally nuanced, at other times the author's language is topical and essay-like. Satirical passages, provoked by the cultural scene or world events, are unusually perceptive and savage. Antic humor co-exists with the dramatic in this collection which features a short novel and stories.
