Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Inter-American Acquaintances This little book makes no claim to completeness; its preparation by the author in the few spare moments of his life as a railway employe may perhaps excuse any fault of historical diction or exhaustiveness. It is intended to be suggestive rather than directly instructive, - to stimulate perhaps a few of those now engaged in studying South American history in its various phases in our colleges and universities to elaborate its material into historical or economic studies of permanent value. It aims to furnish proofs for the two following statements: - (1) That the moral and material aid and example of the United States were a factor in the Latin-American wars for independence; (2) That during that time, as well as previously, much was spoken and written by both North and South Americans which forecasted the Pan-American movement, embodying the fundamental ideas on which the Pan-American Union is based.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Americans Happily his conception of what distinction and dignity included for a man like himself took in a great deal; nearly everything, in fact, except tolerance and a sense of humour. He had been gifted with a robust frame which he had been at pains to break to manly accomplishments: he could ride and shoot, fence, box, wrestle, and swim with proficiency; he openly despised any man not a consumptive who could not; and these consumptive he despised, instinctively, in secret. He had inherited a strong, dull intelligence in which he never found anything which he had not first put there; but from his childhood good masters had been offered him; he had spent a certain number of hours every day in adding to the stock of notions they had given him, and it was not his habit to forget what he had once learned. Neither was it his habit to unlearn anything: what had once obtained lodgment in his head formed an insuperable obstacle to the passage of everything not consistent with it; and the considerable library he had collected at Estcourt served mainly to dress out his preconceptions in the foppery of scholarship. He had been a young buck in his day, looking at himself seriously in the glass. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Macy s Latin American Fair written by Macy's Macy's and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Macy's Latin American Fair: Jan. 17-Feb. 7, 1942 American. In the Western Hemisphere we have come to the realization that if we would solve those problems successfully, we must face them not as North Americans or South Americans, but as Americans All. Through the years there has been sporadic talk, always well meant, of good will and good neighbors, of inter-american friendship and Hemisphere unity. Our Latin American friends have felt, perhaps rightly, that talk was cheap. Talk is cheap and good will makes fine diplo matic conversation, but friendship does not live on promises and there can be unity only when there is knowledge, understanding, and a free and profitable exchange of the products of the hands and hearts of men. We in the United States have become acutely aware of our geographic identity with Latin America, of our interdependence and of our unity of purpose. We are awake to the obligation to let our deeds speak louder than words. Concrete evidence of our good will can best be shown by a strenuous effort to improve our economic relations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • An "extraordinary ... profoundly moving" history (The New York Times Book Review) of the American Civil War that reveals the ways that death on such a scale changed not only individual lives but the life of the nation. An estiated 750,000 soldiers lost their lives in the American Civil War. An equivalent proportion of today's population would be seven and a half million. In This Republic of Suffering, Drew Gilpin Faust describes how the survivors managed on a practical level and how a deeply religious culture struggled to reconcile the unprecedented carnage with its belief in a benevolent God. Throughout, the voices of soldiers and their families, of statesmen, generals, preachers, poets, surgeons, nurses, northerners and southerners come together to give us a vivid understanding of the Civil War's most fundamental and widely shared reality. With a new introduction by the author, and a new foreword by Mike Mullen, 17th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Intellectual and Cultural Relations Between the United States and the Other Republics of America From the organization of the Division of Intercourse and Education of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in 191 1, one of the bits of work most clearly in mind has been the development of closer acquaintance and better understanding between the peoples of the various republics on the American con tinent. Owing to difficulties and delays interposed by distance as well as by slow communication, it has not been possible to proceed as rapidly with this part of the work of the Division as had been hoped. One or two plans that had been fully worked out failed of execution because of the illness of those who had been selected to execute them. On the other hand, something has perhaps been gained by the necessary delay. It has been possible to study more closely the various elements of the problems involved and to seek and obtain advice from leaders of opinion in the various countries of South America. In pursuance of these plans and of the information and advice so gained. Mr. Robert Bacon made a noteworthy journey through some of the chief South American capitals in the summer of 1913. He explained in forceful and sym pathetic fashion the organization and purpose of the Carnegie Endowment and took steps to form branches of the American Association for International Con ciliation and of the American Society for International Law in the countries that he visited. Mr. Bacon was everywhere received with much cordiality and was listened to with marked and sympathetic attention. Following Mr. Bacon's visit, a Pan American Division of the American Association for International Conciliation was organized. One of its first tasks was to arrange for the visit to South America during the summer of 1914 of a group of carefully selected and thoroughly representative teachers in the higher educational institutions of the United States. The object in view was to assure the presence in various widely scattered educational institutions in the United States, of men who had seen South America with their own eyes, who had talked with its representative men, and who could speak with some authority concerning the problems and activities of the other American republics.

May it be given you to feel how full and how precious is that redemption which comes through Him. May the affections, the understanding and the will of every one of you, my dear friends, be so brought into subjection to the guidance and the government of the Holy Spirit, as that you may, in your intercourse among men, show, out of a good conversation, your works with meekness of wisdom. In taking a retrospect of some of the occurrences in the course of a lengthened life, my thoughts recur to the visits, both in earlier and later years, of several devoted ministers of the Gospel from your land to ours. Their work of faith was blessed to many: I partook, amongst others, of the privilege of their earnest pleadings.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bird Friends: A Complete Bird Book for Americans These pages are written, not only for the bird lover, but also for the general reader who has no special interest in birds, but who is interested in those matters that pertain to community welfare. Most of the topics presented in this book have been treated in an entertaining way in many excel lent bird books, but most of these books cover only one or two phases of bird life, so that a. Person de siring to be generally informed on birds must secure several books. The bird enthusiast is glad to do this, but not the average citizen, who has no more inter est in birds than in many other topics. It is highly desirable that every citizen should be informed on the need of conserving bird life as one of our valu able national resources. It has been the purpose of the author to gather within one set of covers a brief discussion of the essential facts concerning bird life that are of general interest, which are now scattered through many books, bulletins, and magazines.

Download or read book A Service of Love in War Time written by Rufus M. Jones and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Service of Love in War Time: American Friends Relief, Work in Europe, 1917-1919 This book does not profess to be a history of the work of relief and reconstruction which Friends have done in France and Russia and in other countries since the fateful autumn of 1914. Only one who has been in the thick of the work on the field can write the final, intimate history of any one of the major relief undertakings of Friends. And as the work since 1917 has been a joint endeavor of English and American Friends the complete history of it must be composite, i.e. written by both English and Americans. It is to be hoped that persons of leisure will be found in the not distant future who can tell with sufficient detail the interesting story of the labors of this large band of volunteers who have rebuilt homes, revived agriculture, restored the spirits of depressed refugees, saved the lives of many children and reconstructed extensive areas of the desolated war-zones, who have gone out with living faith and with efficient relief into some of the darkest regions of the suffering world, both in war-time and in the no less appalling period which has followed the armistice. My attempt is much more modest. I am merely endeavoring here to interpret the effort which American Friends have made to express their spirit of human love to a part of the world - an innocent part - caught in the awful tangle of the tragedy.
