Book excerpt: You may not have ever heard of Lewis Tackett. He didn't keep ledgers for us to read as did his friend, Daniel Boone. He didn't aspire to high political office as many others did. The highest political rank he attained was Justice of the Peace and his highest military rank was captain. However, he lived during a time when our nation was being formed. When men and women of great strength, courage, and determination were needed to forge a new way of life. Lewis had all of these traits in abundance, and the energy and spirit of adventure to use them. He was an extraordinary man. Almost all of the events in this book actually happened and are well documented. Lewis Tackett is buried near Lewisville, in Henry County, Indiana. His original memorial marker gave his age as, "99 years, 4 months and 21 days", and included the inscription, "A REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIER".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thirteen years, Prince Erech of Athenai has lived as a hostage of the Empire. On the eve of his much-anticipated release, Erech is severely wounded by Imperial guards who have mistaken him for an assassin intent on slaying their crown prince. Furious to learn of his son's injuries, King Pandion refuses the Imperial demand to send another hostage. Such defiance can only be interpreted as an act of war-a war he cannot hope to win. Only Erech, tutored in the empire's sciences, has the knowledge and skills to save his homeland. But first he must content with the machinations of his nemesis, Al-Jinn, the evil high priest of Bel-not to mention those of Queen Zeuxippe, his own scheming mother. With only limited time, Erech and his twin brother Boutes call on their every skill, friendship, and honor debt. As war looms, Boutes sets out on a desperate search for allies in faraway lands. At home, Erech slowly recuperates, worried that he will not have the strength needed for the final battle. Even with help from unexpected quarters Pandion's forces, still vastly outnumbered, must test to their utmost the friendships, skills and knowledge Erech gained while a hostage if they are to avoid annihilation by a ruthless enemy.

Download or read book Riot Rebellion and Popular Politics in Early Modern England written by Andy Wood and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-04-20 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Riot, Rebellion and Popular Politics in Early Modern England reassesses the relationship between politics, social change and popular culture in the period c. 1520-1730. It argues that early modern politics needs to be understood in broad terms, to include not only states and elites, but also disputes over the control of resources and the distribution of power. Andy Wood assesses the history of riot and rebellion in the early modern period, concentrating upon: popular involvement in religious change and political conflict, especially the Reformation and the English Revolution; relations between ruler and ruled; seditious speech; popular politics and the early modern state; custom, the law and popular politics; the impact of literacy and print; and the role of ritual, gender and local identity in popular politics.

Download or read book Slave Rebellion in Brazil written by João José Reis and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 1995-09 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the night of January 24, 1835, hundreds of African Muslim slaves poured into the streets of Salvador, capital of the Brazilian province of Bahia, to confront soldiers and armed civilians. Nearly 70 slaves were killed. More than 500 were sentenced to death, prison, whipping or deportation. Although the rebel slaves failed to win their freedom, the repercussions of their actions were felt throughout the nation, making this the most important urban slave rebellion in the Americas, and the only one in which Islam played a major role. In this history of the 1835 uprising, Joao Jose Reis draws on hundreds of police and trial records in which Africans, despite obvious intimidation, spoke out about their cultural, social, economic, religious and domestic lives in Salvador. Now available in this revised and expanded English edition, "Slave Rebellion in Brazil" is a portrait of the conditions of urban slavery and an absorbing account of conspiracy, uprising and punishment. --
Download or read book High on Rebellion written by Yvonne Sewall-Ruskin and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive oral history—with a foreword by Lou Reed—of the center of New York’s 1960s and ’70s underground culture. From its opening in December 1965 on Park Avenue South, Max’s Kansas City, a hybrid restaurant, bar, nightclub, and art gallery, was the boisterous meeting spot for famous—or soon-to-be-famous—figures in New York’s underground art, music, literary, film, and fashion scenes. Max’s regulars included Andy Warhol (and his superstars such as Viva, Ultra Violet, Edie Sedgwick, Gerard Malanga, Holly Woodlawn, and Candy Darling), Mick Jagger, Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Bob Dylan, Jane Fonda, and dozens more. A hotbed of drugs, sex, and creative collaboration, Max’s was the place to see and be seen among the city’s cultural elite for nearly two decades. With reminiscences from the likes of Alice Cooper, Bebe Buell, Betsey Johnson, Leee Black Childers, Holly Woodlawn, and John Chamberlain, along with Max’s owner Mickey Ruskin and several waitresses and bartenders, this vivid oral history evokes an unforgettable place where a spontaneous striptease, a brawl over the meaning of art, and an early performance by the Velvet Underground were all possibilities on any given night. High on Rebellion dazzles with rare photos and other Max’s memorabilia, and firsthand accounts of legendary nights, chance encounters, romances sparked and extinguished, and stars being born.

Download or read book Love in the Days of Rebellion written by Ahmet Altan and published by Europa Editions. This book was released on 2020-11-24 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of Like a Sword Wound weaves an “ambitious and intelligent thriller about love and war” in the early twentieth-century Ottoman Empire (Kirkus Reviews). Love in the Days of Rebellion is the second installment in Ahmet Altan’s masterful saga of Turkish history, The Ottoman Quartet. Following the vast and vivid cast of characters introduced in Like A Sword Wound, it opens with the attempted suicide of Hikmet Bey, the son of the sultan’s personal physician. Hikmet is driven to this extreme in an attempt to forget his wife, the beautiful and proud Mehpare Hanim. While Hikmet is recovering in a hospital in Thessaloniki, slowly regaining his strength and will to live, radical changes are afoot in the Ottoman capital. The power of the sultan is eroding, a rebellion is brewing, and violence erupts on the streets of Istanbul. It is the eve of the 1909 countercoup, an event that will lead to the Empire’s collapse. With striking clarity and imaginative power, Altan evokes the traumas and upheavals of Ottoman history, showing how the events and wounds of that time still resonate in the tensions and contradictions of today’s Turkey.

Download or read book The Slave s Rebellion written by Adélékè Adéèkó and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2005-07-21 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Episodes of slave rebellions such as Nat Turner's are central to speculations on the trajectory of black history and the goal of black spiritual struggles. Using fiction, history, and oral poetry drawn from the United States, the Caribbean, and Africa, this book analyzes how writers reinterpret episodes of historical slave rebellion to conceptualize their understanding of an ideal "master-less" future. The texts range from Frederick Douglass's The Heroic Slave and Alejo Carpentier's The Kingdom of this World to Yoruba praise poetry and novels by Nigerian writers Adebayo Faleti and Akinwumi Isola. Each text reflects different "national" attitudes toward the historicity of slave rebellions that shape the ways the texts are read. This is an absorbing book about the grip of slavery and rebellion on modern black thought.
