Download or read book Forty Seventh Star written by David V. Holtby and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-09-28 with total page 567 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Mexico was ceded to the United States in 1848, at the end of the war with Mexico, but not until 1912 did President William Howard Taft sign the proclamation that promoted New Mexico from territory to state. Why did New Mexico’s push for statehood last sixty-four years? Conventional wisdom has it that racism was solely to blame. But this fresh look at the history finds a more complex set of obstacles, tied primarily to self-serving politicians. Forty-Seventh Star, published in New Mexico’s centennial year, is the first book on its quest for statehood in more than forty years. David V. Holtby closely examines the final stretch of New Mexico’s tortuous road to statehood, beginning in the 1890s. His deeply researched narrative juxtaposes events in Washington, D.C., and in the territory to present the repeated collisions between New Mexicans seeking to control their destiny and politicians opposing them, including Republican U.S. senators Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana and Nelson W. Aldrich of Rhode Island. Holtby places the quest for statehood in national perspective while examining the territory’s political, economic, and social development. He shows how a few powerful men brewed a concoction of racism, cronyism, corruption, and partisan politics that poisoned New Mexicans’ efforts to join the Union. Drawing on extensive Spanish-language and archival sources, the author also explores the consequences that the drive to become a state had for New Mexico’s Euro-American, Nuevomexicano, American Indian, African American, and Asian communities. Holtby offers a compelling story that shows why and how home rule mattered—then and now—for New Mexicans and for all Americans.

Download or read book The Forty Seven Ronin written by John A. Tucker and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Forty-Seven Rōnin vendetta is one of the most famous incidents in Japanese history, but it is also one of the most misunderstood. John A. Tucker seeks to provide a credible account of the vendetta and its afterlife in history. He suggests that, when considered historically and holistically, the vendetta appears as a site of contested cultural ground, with conflicts, disagreements, and debates characterizing its three-century history far more than cultural unanimity about its values, virtues, and icons. Tucker narrates the incident as the historical event that it was, within the context of Tokugawa social, political, cultural, and spiritual history, before exploring the vendetta as conflicted cultural ground, generating a steady flow of essays, novels, plays, and ideologically driven expressions intrinsic to the course of Japanese history. This engaging, accessible study provides insights into ways in which events and debates from early modern history have continued to inform developments in modern Japan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Story of Forty-Seventh: Being the History of a Regiment of Heavy Artillery Made Up of Men From Every State in the Union In Memoriam A sigh of grief is all we mourn for them; Too happy they who, in ambrosial sleep, Live midst their dreams in true reality. A sigh of grief for their life's cord is cut, While we in lonelier exile now must tread, Filled with inspirations of our most sacred dead. A sigh of grief and then a heartfelt pride To know the honor and the grace with which they died: Their spoken words, their smile, a quickening glance of bright, Well-meaning eyes. How full is memory's light! A guide to cheer us in life's future dread. A sigh of grief, a burst of tears perchance, Let that be all, for God will guard their graves in France. - S. A. S.
