Book excerpt: My life as a sailor commenced in the year 1736, when I was but ten years of age . . . Thomas Trench, Master Mariner, looks back over fifty years at sea-fifty years that represent one of the most turbulent periods of European maritime history. As he notes, throughout the reign of King George II (1737-1760) there were "scarcely two years of peace together".As a sailor in His Majesty's Navy, Trench has fought in many battles and known the hardships, horrors and triumphs of war. A careful, practical man of his time, he describes his experiences without high emotion, but it is a key to his deeper character that, unlike many narrators, he writes more about the fighters than the fighting. After thirty-two years in the service of King and Country, a peaceful retirement seems appealing, but soon the sea calls Trench back. A new stage of his life begins when he takes a post as Master of a whaling ship in the Southern Ocean. Now he battles with pirates, the elements and fear of the unknown as fate leads him to shipwreck on an uncharted coast of the land then known as New South Wales.

Download or read book The Forty Years that Created America written by Edward M. Lamont and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-10-03 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The names “Jamestown” and “Plymouth” have become synonymous for most students of American history with “founding,” and “birth”—both, of the American nation, and of freedom and democracy themselves. In this book, author Ted Lamont asks us to reconsider our country’s formative years, and explore the stories, lives, achievements, and failures of America’s earliest founding fathers: those who paved the way for the Colonial Era, and the American Revolution. They were explorers, investors, passionate religious leaders, and determined developers who struggled for generations to successfully plant the English flag in this strange new soil. Lamont deftly details the ways in which the stories and struggles of figures like Sir Walter Raleigh, Bartholomew Gosnold, Richard Hakluyt, Sir Ferdinando Gorges, and Captain John Smith were not just related, but connected in ways that help us better understand the colonies and culture born of their efforts. The infancy of America— from Roanoke’s founding in 1585 through the firm establishment of Jamestown and Plymouth in 1625—is where we first see planted the seeds of the rest of America’s colonial, economic, political, and cultural history, that was the immensely difficult, and often overlooked, first step toward the New World we are still working to perfect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "During the century 1850-1950 Vancouver Island attracted Imperial officers and other Imperials from India, the British Isles, and elsewhere in the Empire. Victoria was the main British port on the north-west Pacific Coast for forty years before the city of Vancouver was founded in 1886 to be the coastal terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway. These two coastal cities were historically and geographically different. The Island joined Canada in 1871 and thirty-five years later the Royal Navy withdrew from Esquimalt, but Island communities did not lose their Imperial character until the 1950s."--P. [4] of cover.
