This book was released on 2024-02-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few stories can compare to the true tales that have written themselves through the lives of real people. As the title states, this book focuses on some of the intriguing events and practices of the souls who left their mark on North American lands before our present era. If you enjoy thinking about what life may have been like had you been born in the seventeen or eighteen hundreds of early America, you may get a glimpse of it through the sketches presented herein. From diaries, journals, newspaper accounts, and letters, the reader will become acquainted with some of the most heroic, as well as the more unscrupulous, people in our history. Some are known personalities, while others have been generally overlooked, until now. The beliefs, culture, and experiences of these individuals are expounded upon. They are authentic testimonies; however, like a sound bite from a speech, a story told out of context can easily be misconstrued. Therefore, though packed with quotes from the people involved, these accounts have pertinent background information woven into them as well. How did the Native Americans come to inhabit North America? Why did the early settlers drink so much? What caused the author of our National Anthem to be a witness to the bombardment of Fort McHenry in the first place? Questions like these are a sampling of topics addressed in this book. If that intrigues you, satisfy your curiosity.

Download or read book A People s History of the United States written by Howard Zinn and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2003-02-04 with total page 764 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its original landmark publication in 1980, A People's History of the United States has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history taught in schools -- with its emphasis on great men in high places -- to focus on the street, the home, and the, workplace. Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of -- and in the words of -- America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles -- the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality -- were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance. Covering Christopher Columbus's arrival through President Clinton's first term, A People's History of the United States, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history. Revised, updated, and featuring a new after, word by the author, this special twentieth anniversary edition continues Zinn's important contribution to a complete and balanced understanding of American history.
