Download or read book A Patriot s History of the United States written by Larry Schweikart and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2004-12-29 with total page 1373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way America’s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of America’s patriots and the achievements of “dead white men.” As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin. A Patriot’s History of the United States corrects those doctrinaire biases. In this groundbreaking book, America’s discovery, founding, and development are reexamined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that make this nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America’s true and proud history.

Book excerpt: Nate Hill is a young man that grew up on the South Side of Chicago. On the road to becoming an international natural resource trader; he had to go through a little thing called life. His journey is revisited as he serves a life sentence in a Federal Penitentiary. This story has a little something for everyone. It is the true-life story of a drug kingpin. As a young man while pursuing a passion of street racing, Nate had to work on cars to get extra money to get his own car ready for the energy filled night life. He had a pretty typical life for a young black man growing up on the South Side of Chicago until an individual opted to pay him in cocaine for mechanic work. Nate had never seen cocaine before and had no clue how to go about selling it to get his money. The guy gave him a quick class and that was all she wrote. Nate went on to become the most powerful kingpin in the Midwest netting over 100 million. He took his hard-working mentality that he learned from his parents and applied it to the drug game. Now armed with the knowledge of how to build an organization and financial resources, Hill was able to leave behind his drug empire to venture into more lucrative legal businesses. He started his own newspaper, recording company, charter bus company, and filmed a major motion picture. On his journey he did business with some of the most notable names in the entertainment world such as Michael Jackson, Bernie Mac, LisaRaye McCoy, Public Announcement among others. As all of his business ventures were starting to excel, Hill drew much scrutiny and began being investigated by the federal government. He had long since gotten out of the drug game, but that didn't stop them from hunting their target. Nate became one of America's Top 10 Most Wanted Criminals. He had no choice but to flee the country for his freedom. During his trek on the continent of Africa, Nate started his most meaningful and successful business venture; a trader of natural resources. He was able to bring tribal leaders together in Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia to aid in his venture. This brought about an immense amount of pride as he was no longer poisoning his communities with drugs but helping build up his people out of poverty and feed their malnourished bodies. Nate has been on the losing side of the judicial system and federal government misconduct for the last 20 years as he serves his life sentence. This story outlines it all in hopes of shedding light on the continuous wrongdoings in the Department of Justice. Nate has always said that, "The hunger for a better life, has cost me my life". Now sit back and enjoy the ride as Nate takes you on his journey from being a mechanic, truck driver, drag racer, drug dealer, entrepreneur, humanitarian, to a convicted felon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Elk Speaks, the story of the Oglala Lakota visionary and healer Nicholas Black Elk (1863–1950) and his people during momentous twilight years of the nineteenth century, offers readers much more than a precious glimpse of a vanished time. Black Elk’s searing visions of the unity of humanity and Earth, conveyed by John G. Neihardt, have made this book a classic that crosses multiple genres. Whether appreciated as the poignant tale of a Lakota life, as a history of a Native nation, or as an enduring spiritual testament, Black Elk Speaks is unforgettable. Black Elk met the distinguished poet, writer, and critic John G. Neihardt in 1930 on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota and asked Neihardt to share his story with the world. Neihardt understood and conveyed Black Elk’s experiences in this powerful and inspirational message for all humankind. This complete edition features a new introduction by historian Philip J. Deloria and annotations of Black Elk’s story by renowned Lakota scholar Raymond J. DeMallie. Three essays by John G. Neihardt provide background on this landmark work along with pieces by Vine Deloria Jr., Raymond J. DeMallie, Alexis Petri, and Lori Utecht. Maps, original illustrations by Standing Bear, and a set of appendixes rounds out the edition.
Download or read book The Big Burn written by Timothy Egan and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2009-10-19 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Book Award–winner Timothy Egan turns his historian's eye to the largest-ever forest fire in America and offers an epic, cautionary tale for our time. On the afternoon of August 20, 1910, a battering ram of wind moved through the drought-stricken national forests of Washington, Idaho, and Montana, whipping the hundreds of small blazes burning across the forest floor into a roaring inferno that jumped from treetop to ridge as it raged, destroying towns and timber in the blink of an eye. Forest rangers had assembled nearly ten thousand men to fight the fires, but no living person had seen anything like those flames, and neither the rangers nor anyone else knew how to subdue them. Egan recreates the struggles of the overmatched rangers against the implacable fire with unstoppable dramatic force, and the larger story of outsized president Teddy Roosevelt and his chief forester, Gifford Pinchot, that follows is equally resonant. Pioneering the notion of conservation, Roosevelt and Pinchot did nothing less than create the idea of public land as our national treasure, owned by every citizen. Even as TR's national forests were smoldering they were saved: The heroism shown by his rangers turned public opinion permanently in favor of the forests, though it changed the mission of the forest service in ways we can still witness today. This e-book includes a sample chapter of SHORT NIGHTS OF THE SHADOW CATCHER.
