Thomas Ewing Jr. Frontier Lawyer and Civil War General【電子書籍】[ Ronald D. Smith ]

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】Thomas Ewing Jr. Frontier Lawyer and Civil War General【電子書籍】[ Ronald D. Smith ]

<p>An Ohio family with roots in the South, the Ewings influenced the course of the Midwest for more than fifty years. Patriarch Thomas Ewing, a former Whig senator and cabinet member who made his fortune as a real estate lawyer, raised four major players in the nation’s historyーincluding William Tecumseh “Cump” Sherman, taken into the family as a nine-year-old, who went on to marry his foster sister Ellen. Ronald D. Smith now tells of this extraordinary clan that played a role on the national stage through the illustrious career of one of its sons.</p> <p>In <em>Thomas Ewing Jr.: Frontier Lawyer and Civil War General</em>, Smith introduces us to the Ewing family, little known except among scholars of Sherman, to show that Tom Jr. had a remarkable career of his own: first as a real estate lawyer, judge, soldier, and speculator in Kansas, then as a key figure in national politics. Smith takes readers back to Bleeding Kansas, with its border ruffians and land speculators, reconstructing the rough-and-tumble of its courtrooms to demonstrate that its turmoil was as much about claim-jumping as about slavery. He describes the seat-of-the-pants law practice in which Ewing worked with his brothers Hugh and Charlie and foster brother Cump. He then tells how Tom came to national prominence in the fight over the proslavery Lecompton Constitution, was instrumental in starting up the Union Pacific Railroad, and became the first chief justice of the Kansas Supreme Court.</p> <p>Ewing obtained a commission in the Union Armyーas did his brothersーand raised a regiment that saw significant action in Arkansas and Missouri. After William Quantrill’s raid on Lawrence, Kansas, he issued the dramatic General Order No. 11 that expelled residents from sections of western Missouri. Then this confidant of Abraham Lincoln’s went on to courageously defend three of the assassination conspiratorsーincluding the disingenuous Samuel Muddーand lobbied the key vote to block the impeachment of Andrew Johnson.</p> <p>Smith examines Ewing’s life in meticulous detail, mining family correspondence for informative quotes and digging deep into legal records to portray lawmaking on the frontier. And while Sherman has been the focus of most previous work on the Ewings, this book fills the gaps in an interlocking family of remarkable peopleーone that helped shape a nation’s development in its courtrooms and business suites. <em>Thomas Ewing Jr.: Frontier Lawyer and Civil War General</em> retells a chapter of Kansas history and opens up a panoramic view of antebellum America, the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the Gilded Age.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

A Narrative of the Life of Mrs. Mary Jemison Enriched edition. Captivating Biography of a Captive Woman on the American Frontier【電子書籍】[ James E. Seaver ]

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】A Narrative of the Life of Mrs. Mary Jemison Enriched edition. Captivating Biography of a Captive Woman on the American Frontier【電子書籍】[ James E. Seaver ]

<p>In "A Narrative of the Life of Mrs. Mary Jemison," James E. Seaver presents a compelling autobiographical account of Mary Jemison, a pioneer woman who was captured by the Seneca tribe during the French and Indian War and later adopted into their culture. The narrative is both an engaging personal memoir and a crucial historical document, offering readers a vivid portrayal of life in the 18th century American frontier. Seaver's literary style is characterized by its straightforward prose, evocative imagery, and a blend of personal reflection and cultural commentary, which situates Jemison's story within broader themes of identity, adaptation, and the complexities of colonial encounters. This work is particularly significant as it sheds light on Native American life from the perspective of a woman who straddled multiple worlds, challenging prevailing narratives of her time. James E. Seaver, a pioneer in his own right as both a historian and a writer, sought to amplify voices often excluded from historical record. His commitment to documenting narratives of marginalized individuals, particularly in the context of Native American history, reflects his belief in the importance of diverse perspectives. By capturing Jemison's experiences, Seaver not only preserves her story but also critiques the Eurocentric views dominant in the historiography of that era. "A Narrative of the Life of Mrs. Mary Jemison" is an essential read for anyone interested in early American history, ethnography, or the intersections of gender and culture. Its nuanced portrayal of Jemison's life and her remarkable resilience offers valuable insights into the complexities of cultural identity and human connection in a tumultuous historical landscape.

Service on the Skeena Horace Wrinch, Frontier Physician【電子書籍】[ Geoff Mynett ]

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】Service on the Skeena Horace Wrinch, Frontier Physician【電子書籍】[ Geoff Mynett ]

<p>His name was Horace Wrinch. It was 1880. He was fourteen years old, a farmer’s boy from England travelling on his own to Quebec. Twenty years later, a qualified doctor and newly married surgeon, he arrived in Hazelton on the Skeena River in northern British Columbia. In 1904, Horace built the first hospital in the northern interior of the province, which until his arrival had no resident doctors, no surgeons and no hospital. Over the next thirty-two years, he became widely respected as a doctor and surgeon, hospital administrator, medical missionary, Methodist minister, magistrate, farmer, community leader and progressive politician. Ever innovative, he instituted a form of health insurance for the Hazelton community as early as 1907. In the 1920s, he was a two-term president of the newly established British Columbia Hospital Association and a two-term Liberal Member of the Provincial Legislature for the Skeena riding. While in the Legislature, he championed publicly funded health insurance. Upon his death in 1939, he was called “the best known and most beloved man in Northern British Columbia.” His legacy remains in Wrinch Memorial Hospital in Hazelton. Drawn almost entirely from original and contemporaneous sources, this is the previously untold story of a remarkable British Columbian.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>The thrill of leaning forward into the half-dark and stealing a kiss when there were so many chances of getting caught felt almost as good as the kiss itself, Robert thought. Almost.</p> <p>As he broke away from Morgan, he wondered for a moment if she was going to react poorly ? maybe he had misread her ? but she didn't. She stayed still for a second, and then they both moved away from one another as they heard someone moving inside, near the porch door.</p> <p>No-one came through it, but the moment was effectively broken. Robert headed past Morgan, back through the house, and bade farewell to the Sullivans with an air of total innocence.</p> <p>The rush that had accompanied his sudden move toward Morgan, and the feeling of dizziness that came when he had felt her kiss him back, followed Robert at least half-way home.</p> <p>But no further.</p> <p>Because as his heart started to slow once more, he found himself thinking that Morgan had better not assume he was going to hang about like a lovesick schoolboy ? or worse, try to pursue her. He also hoped that she did not feel the need to confess their moment to her fianc?, who would be able to make life very difficult for Robert.</p> <p>Though if this was the way Morgan behaved around Robert, presumably this Geoff fellow was also taking a free and easy approach to his engagement. These high society types often did, Robert knew. Morgan had made it clear she wanted nothing from him besides what he had just given to her.</p> <p>And why would she want anything from him?

Texas Ranger John B. Jones and the Frontier Battalion, 1874-1881【電子書籍】[ Rick Miller ]

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】Texas Ranger John B. Jones and the Frontier Battalion, 1874-1881【電子書籍】[ Rick Miller ]

In 1874, the Texas legislature created the Frontier Battalion, the first formal, budgeted organization as an arm of state government of what historically had been periodic groups loosely referred to as Texas Rangers. Initially created to combat the menace of repeated raids of Indians from the north and from Mexico into frontier counties, the Battalion was led by an unusual choice: a frail, humorless Confederate veteran from Navarro County, John B. Jones. Under Joness leadership, the Battalion grew in sophistication, moving from Indian fighting to capturing Texass bad men, such as John Wesley Hardin and Sam Bass. Established during the unsettled time of Reconstruction, the Rangers effectively filled a local law enforcement void until competency was returned to local sheriffs and marshals offices. Numerous books cover individual Texas Rangers of note, but only a few have dealt with the overall history of the Rangers, and, strangely, none about Jones specifically. For the first time, author Rick Miller presents the story of the Frontier Battalion as seen through the eyes of its commander, John B. Jones, during his administration from 1874 to 1881, relating its historyboth good and badchronologically, in depth, and in context. Highlighted are repeated budget and funding problems, developing standards of conduct, personalities and their interaction, mission focus and strategies against Indian war parties and outlaws, and coping with politics and bureaucracy. Miller covers all the major activities of the Battalion in the field that created and ultimately enhanced the legend of the Texas Rangers. Joness personal life is revealed, as well as his role in shaping the policies and activities of the Frontier Battalion. Based largely on primary documents, especially the actual correspondence generated by the various actors in the Battalions drama that best tell the tale, this book is a major contribution to understanding the early development and growth of what became the institution celebrated in legend today. And John B. Jones at last has a definitive biography that recognizes him as one of the most important men who actually laid the groundwork for that legend.画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
