Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1877, America was in turmoil from a recession, labor strikes and ethnic conflicts. From far off Idaho came a heroine to raise the flagging spirits of a nation. At the beginning of the Nez Perce War Isabella Benedict carried her children up the White Bird Canyon without food, while in mortal danger, until she encountered the U. S. Cavalry. Ironically, a Nez Perce man came to her rescue when the army proved inept. Her life included 2 husbands and 9 children, a father killed in a gunfight, a stepfather lynched in Lewiston, and a son-in-law convicted of manslaughter. Isabella used her Irish toughness, perseverance, and family loyalty to make her way on the American frontier and leave a legacy for her many descendants. Her story reveals a great deal about early Florence, White Bird, Grangeville, and Slate Creek, Idaho and about all the women of the West.
Download or read book Livingstone written by Tim Jeal and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2013-02-19 with total page 551 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A superb biography, not to be missed either by armchair explorers or students of human nature…reveals the famed missionary and explorer as he really was.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer David Livingstone is revered as one of history’s greatest explorers and missionaries, the first European to cross Africa, and the first to find Victoria Falls and the source of the Congo River. In this exciting new edition of his biography, Tim Jeal, author of the National Book Critics Circle Award-winning Stanley, draws on fresh sources and archival discoveries to provide the most fully rounded portrait of this complicated man—dogged by failure throughout his life despite his full share of success. Using Livingstone’s original field notebooks, Jeal finds that the explorer’s problems with his African followers were far graver than previously understood. From recently discovered letters he elaborates on the explorer’s decision to send his wife, Mary, back home to England. He also uncovers fascinating information about Livingstone’s importance to the British Empire and about his relationship with the journalist-adventurer Henry Morton Stanley. In addition, Jeal here evokes the full pathos of the explorer’s final journey. This masterful, updated biography also features an excellent selection of new maps and illustrations. “Fascinating.”—Los Angeles Times “A thrilling and in the end moving work…The Livingstone who emerges is a man of terrifying dimensions.”—Irish Press
Download or read book Full of Hope and Fear written by Margaret Bonfiglioli and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-07-24 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First World War has survived as part of our national memory in a way no previous war has ever done. This collection of letters - which lay untouched for almost ninety years - allows a unique glimpse into the war as experienced by one family at the time, transporting us back to an era which is now slipping tantalizingly out of living memory. The Slaters - the family at the heart of these letters - lived in Oxford. Like most families, they were both typical and unique. Gilbert, the father of the family, had been head of Ruskin College in Oxford, and during the war found work as the first Professor of Indian Economics in Madras. His wife, Violet, grew to detest the war and became an increasingly vocal pacifist as the slaughter continued. Owen, their eldest son, a schoolboy in 1914, was fighting in France by war's end. In the letters they wrote to each other and their friends at this time we see how the war increasingly impacted upon each of their lives and the life of the world around them - rationing, Violet's increasing involvement in radical politics, the deaths of friends, the fear of Zeppelin raids when in London, the endless discussions between Violet and Gilbert about how to keep their son out of the trenches - and the growth of Owen from schoolboy to soldier, serving as a junior officer on the Western Front. Above all, in their privacy and immediacy, their inconsistencies and false hopes, these letters bring us as near as we can ever be to understanding what people thought, feared, and hoped for during these momentous years.
Download or read book Metis Pioneers written by Doris Jeanne MacKinnon and published by University of Alberta. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Metis Pioneers, Doris Jeanne MacKinnon compares the survival strategies of two Metis women born during the fur trade—one from the French-speaking free trade tradition and one from the English-speaking Hudson's Bay Company tradition—who settled in southern Alberta as the Canadian West transitioned to a sedentary agricultural and industrial economy. MacKinnon provides rare insight into their lives, demonstrating the contributions Metis women made to the building of the Prairie West. This is a compelling tale of two women's acts of quiet resistance in the final days of the British Empire.
