Book excerpt: Excerpt from George in Camp, or Life on the Plains I don't like the way things are going at all, and I just wish those two people were back where they came from. They have turned the ranche upside down since they have been here, and now I begin to feel as though they were the masters, and that I have no more rights than a tramp who had dropped in to beg a night's lodging!" The speaker, a sturdy, broad-shouldered youth, about fifteen years of age, was sitting on the porch in front of the house in which he lived, busily engaged in mending a broken bridle with an awl and a piece of waxed-end.

Book excerpt: In 1892, a young man left his home in the coastal foothills of Lebanon in search of a better life. Coming to America with his newlywed wife, he found work as a traveling peddler before settling on a small farm in central Nebraska. Years later, personal tragedy and an unexpected midnight visit from a saint changed the course of his life. Seeing the desperate need of his fellow Orthodox Christians and heeding God's call, he would spend the rest of his life traversing the Great Plains as a circuit-riding priest, known to his thousands of parishioners as Father Nicola Yanney.

Custer The boy general is a condensed sur vey Of the life Of major-general George Arm strong Custer, as told by his wife, Elizabeth B. Custer, in her matchless books, Tenting on the Plains, Following the Guidon, and Boots and Saddles. It summarizes General Custer's public services, from the reorganiza tion Of Texas after the Civil War and the sup pression Of the intended Mexican Invasion, to the pioneer work Of himself and his brave sol diers in opening up the Northwest. Sympathize as we may with the unfortunate Indian, we can but acknowledge that there is no longer any room on earth for uncivilized conditions to exist. Humanity is in the proc ess Of evolution toward a brotherhood that must be universal. The Earth is the Lord's. It is not the Indian's. It is not the White Man's. It must Open up for the good Of all men, each individual to use it for his highest development. In her descriptions Of the joys and sorrows, the glory and the grief, the courage and the sacrifices Of the daring troopers Of the Plains, Mrs. Custer has well served the purposes Of graver history, for her facts are indisputable and at first hand. She furnishes the original colors with which the future artist may paint, the action which the poet and novelist weave into song and romance. Her pages are crowd ed with pictures Oi a type Of life almost extinct. Washington Irving in his Indian stories drew On records Of a dead past. Mrs. Custer has drawn on living records Of an intense present. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

I mean the one who owns the stolen horse and his companion?" "No, sir; and I don't want to see them, either. It is true that they might not recognise me in these clothes, for every time they described me, they spoke of my buckskin coat and silver buttons; but I have no desire to run the risk!"

Download or read book The Last Days of George Armstrong Custer written by Thom Hatch and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2015-02-03 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thrilling narrative history of George Armstrong Custer's death at the Little Bighorn, award-winning historian Thom Hatch puts to rest the questions and conspiracies that have made Custer's last stand one of the most misunderstood events in American history. While numerous historians have investigated the battle, what happened on those plains hundreds of miles from even a whisper of civilization has been obscured by intrigue and deception starting with the very first shots fired. Custer's death and the defeat of the 7th Calvary by the Sioux was a shock to a nation that had come to believe that its westward expansion was a matter of destiny. While the first reports defended Custer, many have come to judge him by this single event, leveling claims of racism, disobedience, and incompetence. These false claims unjustly color Custer's otherwise extraordinarily life and fall far short of encompassing his service to his country. By reexamining the facts and putting Custer within the context of his time and his career as a soldier, Hatch's The Last Days of George Armstrong Custer reveals the untold and controversial truth of what really happened in the valley of the Little Bighorn, making it the definitive history of Custer's last stand. This history of charging cavalry, desperate defenses, and malicious intrigue finally sets the record straight for one of history's most dynamic and misunderstood figures.

Download or read book A Man Called Raven written by Richard Van Camp and published by Children's Book Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back in stock! When Chris and Toby Greyeyes find a raven in the garage, they try to trap it and hurt it with hockey sticks. To them, ravens are just a nuisance because they spread garbage all over the street. Or so they think--until a mysterious man who smells like pine needles enters their lives and teaches them his story of the raven. In this intriguing book, George Littlechild, internationally acclaimed artist and author of the Jane Addams Awardwinning book This Land Is My Land, returns to collaborate with Richard Van Camp, an exciting voice in Native American literature. Set in the Northwest Territories of Canada, Van Camp's contemporary story draws from the animal legends and folklore told to him by his Dogrib elders. Littlechild's bold use of color and perspective captures the sense of mystery and magic surrounding the strange raven man who teaches the boys the meaning of respect for nature. Blending past with present, the magical with the real, A Man Called Raven is both a tribute to the wisdom of the raven and a positive reminder that we can all learn from nature.

Download or read book Following the Indian Wars written by Oliver Knight and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a huge canvas, the author deploys the historical facts about more than one thousand fights between troops and Indians, the immediate, first-hand impressions of correspondents who participated in the battles and skirmishes, and his own interpretations from the combined evidence. It is as if the reader himself had gone along on these expeditions, to see what was happening, to assess the relative skill of commanders and their troops, and to share both the dangers and the relaxations of military life on the vast frontier beyond the Mississippi.
