Download or read book Wynds Over Wylusing written by Gayle Carson and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confronted with her own demise, Martha Rutledge (Avia) must reveal to her granddaughter how small and interconnected the world is, and what their responsibility is in preserving it. Avia spirits Tallis to the site of Azilum-colonial America's refuge for French Royalists. There, she tells the story of the second son of Marie Antoinette, Louis-Charles XVII. Smuggled from Temple Prison in Paris to the asylum along the Susquehanna River, he is raised by Jesuits along "The Great Warrior Path" to the Carolina Lowcountry. Grown, Charlie becomes an esteemed associate of the elite in Philadelphia when it is the site of America's capitol. Wynds Over Wylusing is Charlie's story. In 2001, scientific advances enable mtDNA testing to prove the remains in the Bourbon burial chapel to be those of Marie Antoinette's son. However, only the Rutledges have the final key to the puzzle and know the truth of the American connection to Louis-Charles XVII, which they are challenged to protect. The rest of the world continues to misrepresent Charlie's life based on a myriad of legends and false claims about the Bourbon heir. The delightful personalities in Wynds Over Wylusing will jump to life for readers amid panoramic scenery and revolutionary historical connections of early eastern United States and France from 1795 until the present and stay with them long after they have put the book down.

Download or read book David Zeisberger written by Earl P. Olmstead and published by Kent State University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Zeisberger: A life among the Indians offers the unique perspective of a Moravian missionary who lived and worked for sixty-three years among the Iroquois and Delaware nations in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and Upper Canada. Earl P. Olmstead's narrative draws on thousands of pages of Zeisberger's own diaries, some of which are translated here for the first time. The diaries offer insights into the role of wampum in tribal government, problems resulting from the mass Euro-American western migration, and incidents of duplicity on the parts of both the American government and Native American nations. Of particular interest are Zeisberger's descriptions of Native American life in the years surrounding the French and Indian War and the American Revolution and the effects of these conflicts on the nations that lived in Ohio Country.

Download or read book Every Root an Anchor written by R. Bruce Allison and published by Wisconsin Historical Society. This book was released on 2005-04-13 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Every Root an Anchor, writer and arborist R. Bruce Allison celebrates Wisconsin's most significant, unusual, and historic trees. More than one hundred tales introduce us to trees across the state, some remarkable for their size or age, others for their intriguing histories. From magnificent elms to beloved pines to Frank Lloyd Wright's oaks, these trees are woven into our history, contributing to our sense of place. They are anchors for time-honored customs, manifestations of our ideals, and reminders of our lives' most significant events. For this updated edition, Allison revisits the trees' histories and tells us which of these unique landmarks are still standing. He sets forth an environmental message as well, reminding us to recognize our connectedness to trees and to manage our tree resources wisely. As early Wisconsin conservationist Increase Lapham said, "Tree histories increase our love of home and improve our hearts. They deserve to be told and remembered."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every Wisconsin waterway has a story, from the Great Lakes and the Mighty Mississippi to thousands of interior lakes, rivers, and trout streams. Wisconsin Waters takes readers on an epic tour of the geologic, natural, and human stories that have shaped these aquatic landscapes over millions of years. In this companion to his popular Wisconsin State Parks book, Scott Spoolman journeys to the distant past to examine the origins of Wisconsin’s lakes, rivers, waterfalls, and wetlands. In his accessible storytelling style, Spoolman details the natural forces—volcanic eruptions, ancient seas, erosion, glaciers, and more—that created these bodies of water and the resulting habitats for the state’s flora, fauna, and early peoples. More than a geology or natural history book, Wisconsin Waters invites readers to visit waterways in four regions of the state, where they can view the modern-day evidence of how they were formed. Nineteen travel guides suggest ways to explore a selection of Wisconsin waterscapes, providing a better understanding of the land’s history that will enhance readers’ enjoyment of and appreciation for our freshwater resources.
