Download or read book Prince Rupert written by Frank Kitson and published by Constable & Robinson. This book was released on 1998 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes up the story of Prince Rupert from 1647, when his army career came to an end, and examines his work as an admiral, then sometimes known as general-at-sea -- the first book to study this aspect of his life in any detail. When Rupert first took command of the Royalist fleet the Commonwealth government was firmly established in England. For the next four and a half years with no base he kept the Royalist flag flying in the approaches to the Channel, the Mediterranean, the Atlantic and the Caribbean, harried by Parliamentary commanders and buffeted by storms. It was a tremendous achievement. After the Restoration Rupert returned to England where until his death twenty-two years later he played a prominent role in the government. His career at sea continued in the Second and Third Dutch wars, when, as commander-in-chief of the fleet, he took part in some of the most heavily contested battles in naval history. Finally, in 1673 he was made in effect First Lord of the Admiralty -- a post he held for the next six years. As in General Kitson's earlier book, Prince Rupert: Portrait of a Solider (to which this is a sequel), Rupert is here brought to life an engaging, vigorous, supremely intelligent man; while the reader is also given a vivid picture of life at sea in the seventeenth century. -- Inside jacket flap.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immediately following Pearl Harbour, the United States shipping facilities in the Pacific were running at full capacity, but it was still not enough to combat the serious Japanese threat. At this critical juncture, Prince Rupert, located in British Columbia, Canada, was placed at America's disposal, to ship troops and materials to Alaska to fend off the enemy. It was, as many called it, an American Invasion. With Japanese submarines lurking off of Prince Rupert, thousands of Canadian Army, Navy, and Air Force, were posted to man the fort defence system, fly reconnaissance missions, and protect the dry dock and shipyard, all vital to the Pacific war effort. All eyes were peeled for the enemy. The City was truly at war. Drawing from a diverse field of information, making use of published, primary, first hand recollections, and photographs, this book puts the events and developments of these years all together into one definitive source.

Download or read book The Black Legend of Prince Rupert s Dog written by Mark Stoyle and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compelling book from Mark Stoyle sets out to uncover the true history of Boy, the canine companion of Charles I's famous nephew, Prince Rupert. Like his master, Boy was held to possess dark powers and was elevated to celebrity status as a 'dog-witch' during the English Civil War of 1642-46. Many scholars have remarked upon the fantastical rumours which circulated about Prince Rupert and his dog, but no-one has investigated the source of these rumours, or explored how the supernatural element of the prince's public image developed over time. In this book, Mark Stoyle recounts the occult stories which centred upon Prince Rupert and his dog. He shows how those stories grew out of, and contributed to, the changing pattern of witch-belief in England during the Civil War. Shortlisted for the Folklore Society's Katharine Briggs Award 2012.

Download or read book So They Want Us to Learn French written by Matthew Hayday and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1960s, bilingualism has become a defining aspect of Canadian identity. And yet, today, relatively few English Canadians speak or choose to speak French. Why has personal bilingualism failed to increase as much as attitudes about bilingualism as a Canadian value? In So They Want Us to Learn French, Matthew Hayday explores the various ways in which bilingualism was promoted to English-speaking Canadians from the 1960s to the late 1990s. He analyzes the strategies and tactics employed by organizations on both sides of the bilingualism debate. Against a dramatic background of constitutional change and controvery, economic turmoil, demographic shifts, and the on-again, off-again possibility of Quebec separatism, English-speaking Canadians had to decide whether they and their children should learn French. Highlighting the personal experiences of proponents and advocates, Hayday provides a vivid narrative of a complex, controversial, and fundamentally Canadian question.
