Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romance of Western History, or Sketches of History, Life, and Manners, in the West In the following volumes, therefore, nothing further is attempted than a collection of facts, some of which are the result Of the writer's own observation, and all of which are intended rather as examples and illustrations of topics connected with the Western States, than as a regular narrative of its history. They are not presented in any connected series, nor with any embellishment of style, but are placed before the reader under the most unambitious form consistent with convenience of arrange ment and propriety of expression. This is not said to disarm criticism - an author has no right to interpose himself between the critic and his duty, either to secure his clemency or resent his decision - we intend simply to explain to the reader the unpretending character of the work, in order that its title may not awaken expec tions which it is not calculated to satisfy.

Book excerpt: "Epic in its scale, fearless in its scope" (Hampton Sides), this masterfully told account of the American West from a two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist sets a new standard as it sweeps from the California Gold Rush and beyond. In Dreams of El Dorado, H. W. Brands tells the thrilling, panoramic story of the settling of the American West. He takes us from John Jacob Astor's fur trading outpost in Oregon to the Texas Revolution, from the California gold rush to the Oklahoma land rush. He shows how the migrants' dreams drove them to feats of courage and perseverance that put their stay-at-home cousins to shame-and how those same dreams also drove them to outrageous acts of violence against indigenous peoples and one another. The West was where riches would reward the miner's persistence, the cattleman's courage, the railroad man's enterprise; but El Dorado was at least as elusive in the West as it ever was in the East. Balanced, authoritative, and masterfully told, Dreams of El Dorado sets a new standard for histories of the American West.
Download or read book Love in the Western World written by Denis De Rougemont and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1983-08-21 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this classic work, often described as "The History of the Rise, Decline, and Fall of the Love Affair," Denis de Rougemont explores the psychology of love from the legend of Tristan and Isolde to Hollywood. At the heart of his ever-relevant inquiry is the inescapable conflict in the West between marriage and passion--the first associated with social and religious responsiblity and the second with anarchic, unappeasable love as celebrated by the troubadours of medieval Provence. These early poets, according to de Rougemont, spoke the words of an Eros-centered theology, and it was through this "heresy" that a European vocabulary of mysticism flourished and that Western literature took on a new direction. Bringing together historical, religious, philosophical, and cultural dimensions, the author traces the evolution of Western romantic love from its literary beginnings as an awe-inspiring secret to its commercialization in the cinema. He seeks to restore the myth of love to its original integrity and concludes with a philosophical perspective on modern marriage.

Download or read book Liberty to the Downtrodden written by Matthew J. Grow and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-12-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas L. Kane (1822-1883), a crusader for antislavery, women's rights, and the downtrodden, rose to prominence in his day as the most ardent and persuasive defender of Mormons' religious liberty. Though not a Mormon, Kane sought to defend the much-reviled group from the "Holy War" waged against them by evangelical America. His courageous personal intervention averted a potentially catastrophic bloody conflict between federal troops and Mormon settlers in the now nearly forgotten Utah War of 1857-58. Drawing on extensive, newly available archives, this book is the first to tell the full story of Kane's extraordinary life. The book illuminates his powerful Philadelphia family, his personal life and eccentricities, his reform achievements, his place in Mormon history, and his career as a Civil War general. Further, the book revises previous understandings of nineteenth-century reform, showing how Kane and likeminded others fused Democratic Party ideology, anti-evangelicalism, and romanticism.

Book excerpt: Free on Kindle Unlimited Best Selling Authors Ellen Anderson, Katie Wyatt Turn of the century America is an exciting place to be! New technologies are now firmly in place including cars, electricity, movies, and airplanes. But even as the times change, mentalities about women's traditional place in society still remain quite rigid. Fred Harvey's business establishment helped to start to change that, providing a place where women could do what was considered respectable work, gaining business experience that they then could parlay into becoming some of the first female doctors, lawyers, engineers, and architects. In her day job, Katherine Stinson is a Harvey Girl. She diligently tends to the needs of her customers, earning the respect of her colleagues for her work ethic. Everyone knows they can count on Kathy if ever something needs to be done right. But Kathy has secret dreams that soar far beyond Albuquerque's Alvarado Hotel--if only she can find a way to make them come true. Craig Ortega has a secret of his own, albeit a minor one. It would be inconvenient if anyone found out, so when Kathy is quick to realize who he is, he's glad she's someone who is clearly trustworthy and won't spill the beans. More than trustworthy, she's beautiful, intelligent, and quite the most fascinating woman he's ever met. She sees past his sometimes hard outer shell, born of a painful past, and accepts him for exactly who he is. When a tragedy brings Craig's past to light, will Kathy be able to see past her own deep hurt and forgive him? When he learns her secret, will he believe in her as fully as she's believed in him? And what of Carrie Wooster, one of the Alvarado's customers, who appears less than well? What secrets is she carrying?

Download or read book Cheese and Culture written by Paul Kindstedt and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Behind every traditional type of cheese there is a fascinating story. By examining the role of the cheesemaker throughout world history and by understanding a few basic principles of cheese science and technology, we can see how different cheeses have been shaped by and tailored to their surrounding environment, as well as defined by their social and cultural context. Cheese and Culture endeavors to advance our appreciation of cheese origins by viewing human history through the eyes of a cheese scientist. There is also a larger story to be told, a grand narrative that binds all cheeses together into a single history that started with the discovery of cheese making and that is still unfolding to this day. This book reconstructs that 9000-year story basedon the often fragmentary information that we have available. Cheese and Culture embarks on a journey that begins in the Neolithic Age and winds its way through the ensuing centuries to the present. This tour through cheese history intersects with some ofthe pivotal periods in human prehistory and ancient, classical, medieval, renaissance, and modern history that have shaped western civilization, for these periods also shaped the lives of cheesemakers and the diverse cheeses that they developed. The bookoffers a useful lens through which to view our twenty-first century attitudes toward cheese that we have inherited from our past, and our attitudes about the food system more broadly. This refreshingly original book will appeal to anyone who loves history, food, and especially good cheese"--Provided by publisher.
