Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Real America in Romance The world's greatest historians to the present time have sought to put the interest of fiction into their work, but they have been so limited by the narrative style adopted that only a few of the greatest have been even fairly successful. The vast majority of histories never have been and probably never will be read outside of a limited circle of tireless students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Real America in Romance, Vol. 5: On Savage Shores, the Age of Consolidation, 1620-1643 But, however limited the tolerance in religion, these colonists of English speech and tradition brought with them a measure of civil liberty unknown in the world else where. The voyagers on the Mayflower entered into a solemn compact for self-government which left them, except for a commercial contract with the Plymouth company, virtually independent of the world. Less than a score of years later, the new colony of Connecticut formally executed a constitution so broad in its principles that it remains to this day as a complete form of civil order, containing within itself every essential feature of the fundamental laws of the Federal Government and Sovereign States of the Union. It left Connecticut for twenty years as free from external control as any State of Europe. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Real America in Romance, Vol. 6 Between the two groups of English colonies north and south, Holland in the previous generation had driven the little wedge of New Netherland. European wars now gave the excuse needed, and the free flag of the States General gave place to the standard of Saint George and Saint Andrew. By this change, the long Atlantic reach became English, and the energies of the race began that strenuous westerly advance which enables every American to boast of pioneer blood. The first red frontier extended not a furlong from the ocean rollers; every step westward was made in the face of savage resistance. With isolated exceptions, every town in America was once a frontier village, the streets of which echoed to the war-whoop of the Indian. These outposts maintained themselves against the ferocities of the aborigines by the sheer use of the weapons of war. The struggle with the austerities of nature was only less desperate. American liberty, child of independence and self-reliance, was born upon this frontier. When it blazed red with the torch of Philip, the Wampanoag chief, New Eng land came together as one man in self-defense - and the Dutch stood beside them on the firing-line. When the Indians of Virginia made lamentable alliance with the vicious Berkeley, who held his profitable traffic with them above the lives and property of his colonists, the spirit flared forth in Nathaniel Bacon, that voice in the wilderness crying out to men to rid themselves of despots.

Download or read book The Real America in Romance Vol 7 Classic Reprint written by Edwin Markham and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Real America in Romance, Vol. 7 England and France, engaged in a duel too momentous to be finished within the limits of a single volume, are herein shown struggling for the rich prize of temperate North America. When France lost her foot hold in Florida, religious liberty failed in its first attempt to establish itself in what is now the United States. The attempt was not renewed until the death of Philip II relieved Europe of the terror he had inspired; yet even then France set her new colony in the bleaker North, far removed from the territories of Spain. Quebec was planted at almost the same instant as James town, the chief idea being not so much the settlement of the land as the exploitation of its resources. Both France and England rooted themselves deeply, but with a difference: New France remained subject to the whims of a tyrant and his tools, while Virginia began almost immediately the contest for self-government, and the Plymouth colony framed its own constitution while still on board the Mayflower. Both England and France saw their colonies grow, even beyond their own earlier ambitions. With every inch added to their stature, the prize to be fought for grew greater, the necessity for the duel inevitable. We live through thought movements, and our lives, individual and national, are the outward expression of them. In the previous volumes the undercurrents may be traced which in this book come to the surface. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Real America in Romance Vol 11 Classic Reprint written by Edwin Markham and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Real America in Romance, Vol. 11 California and all its gold were won; New Mex1co and Arizona, youngest of our commonwealths, became ours both by conquest and fair purchase; and in the north the Ore gon country, long in dispute, now settled itself in safety beneath the flag. The strip of English-speaking people along the Atlantic coast begins to balance itself with a similar fringe on the Pacific, from Columbia to N oma Point, of eager, alert, pushing Americans. The Red Frontier, which had always lain to westward, was now pushed back from the West to meet the East, and the peaceful occupation of the Louisiana Purchase was assured by the mighty reach' of the nation from ocean to ocean. History can never be more interesting than here, where every gallant deed is the forerunner of a greater gallantry in the crisis which threatens from the generation yet to come. Of a piece with it is the romantic interest in the book, which binds the history into an engrossing whole. On the field of battle the descendants of Stevens the Cavalier and Stevens the Pilgrim meet the lost remnant of the Este van family, sprung from Felipe, the grandson of Hernando, companion to Columbus, who had sought the family fortunes among his fellow Spaniards in Mexico. Romance and history combine, each adding interest to the other as it receives interest from the other, until before the reader's eyes stands a picture of a puissant nation, planted firmly on the shores of this earth's two greatest seas, at last and always The Great Republic.

Download or read book The Real America in Romance Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by Edwin Markham and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Real America in Romance, Vol. 2 Columbus bequeathed to Europe a New World. But he died not knowing the magnitude of his discoveries. Indeed, it was his countryman, John Cabot, sailing in the service of England, who first gazed upon continental America. Still another Italian, Amerigo Vespucci, was to stamp his name across a hemisphere - a name that the wit of philosophers and the fancy of poets could not have chosen more aptly. For America - the name also survives in the German Emmerich and the English Emery - means the Ruler of Work, the King of Toil. It was to the great company of Spanish explorers that the task of tracing the dim outline of the double continents fell. And what dazzling names these men have left on the pages of history! Balboa, Cortez, Pizarro, De Soto, Ponce de Leon, and Coronado! True, it was the insatiable thirst for wealth that led men on; but the credit is none the less theirs. From Vespucci's time their vision grew year by year as their quest for riches hastened their feet, now north to Florida and the Mississippi, now south to Columbia and Venezuela, now west to Yucatan, Mexico, and the expanding Pacific, and thence south once more to the golden glory of Peru. History holds no such chapters as these. The Old World thrust itself upon the New as Greece descended upon Persia, as Rome swept through the nations of antiquity; but with a difference. Through unrecorded ages the two civilizations had grown up apart, each teaching man a measure of his possibilities.

Such additional material as may be necessary to give a more comprehensive view of the course of events, but which could not consistently be placed in the general narrative, has been thrown into these notes.

Download or read book Shut Your Mouth written by George Catlin and published by . This book was released on 1869 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Catlin discusses how closing one's mouth during sleep and day to day will foster improvement in mental and physical condition. This edition contains all of the original illustrations the author made. Walking among and studying various Native American tribes in the 19th century, the author noticed that many of the elders possessed a serene and well-preserved appearance. The young members of the tribe seemed especially healthy, with an innate resistance to certain illnesses and congenital conditions. Seeing the tribe's members sleeping, he noted that they all did so with closed mouths. Catlin pondered whether this habit contributed to the physical vigor of the people, and investigated further. After venturing back to the towns of the Midwest, he attests to witnessing how terrible many people who had practiced mouth breathing throughout life appeared, and became deeply opposed to its practice. This book details how children and young people can be encouraged against mouth breathing, and notes how different the facial countenance appears between mouth breathing people and nose breathers. Today, the notion that mouth breathing promotes physical ugliness or decrepitude is wholly disavowed as an eccentric idea with no basis in fact. However, sleep researchers have demonstrated that breathing with the mouth open while asleep can result in more snoring and thus a lower quality of sleep and therefore health. Overall, one could venture that Catlin's ideas possess a certain merit, even if his book is an exaggeration. Although primarily known today as a painter and traveller who became an emissary of sorts to the Plains tribes, George Catlin was also an enthusiastic if occasional writer. He admired the Native American peoples for their traditions and distinctive appearance, and took to painting them - his marked talent led to their respect for his gifts, and they duly welcomed him with friendship.
