【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！】Molly McDonald: A Tale of the Old Frontier【電子書籍】[ Randall Parrish ]

＜p＞When, late in May, 1868, Major Daniel McDonald, Sixth Infantry, was first assigned to command the new three company post established southwest of Fort Dodge, designed to protect the newly discovered Cimarron trail leading to Santa F? across the desert, and, purely by courtesy, officially termed Fort Devere, he naturally considered it perfectly safe to invite his only daughter to join him there for her summer vacation. Indeed, at that time, there was apparently no valid reason why he should deny himself this pleasure. Except for certain vague rumors regarding uneasiness among the Sioux warriors north of the Platte, the various tribes of the Plains were causing no unusual trouble to military authorities, although, of course, there was no time in the history of that country utterly devoid of peril from young raiders, usually aided and abetted by outcast whites. However, the Santa F? route, by this date, had become a well-travelled trail, protected by scattered posts along its entire route, frequently patrolled by troops, and merely considered dangerous for small parties, south of the Cimarron, where roving Comanches in bad humor might be encountered. Fully assured as to this by officers met at Fort Ripley, McDonald, who had never before served west of the Mississippi, wrote his daughter a long letter, describing in careful detail the route, set an exact date for her departure, and then, satisfied all was well arranged, set forth with his small command on the long march overland. He had not seen his daughter for over two years, as during her vacation time (she was attending Sunnycrest School, on the Hudson), she made her home with an aunt in Connecticut. This year the aunt was in Europe, not expecting to return until fall, and the father had hopefully counted on having the girl with him once again in Kentucky. Then came his sudden, unexpected transfer west, and the final decision to have her join him there. Why not? If she remained the same high-spirited army girl, she would thoroughly enjoy the unusual experience of a few months of real frontier life, and the only hardship involved would be the long stage ride from Ripley. This, however, was altogether prairie travel, monotonous enough surely, but without special danger, and he could doubtless arrange to meet her himself at Kansas City, or send one of his officers for that purpose.＜/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。

【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！】Rising Wolf the White Blackfoot Enriched edition. A Captivating Tale of Adventure and Survival in the American Frontier【電子書籍】[ James Willard Schultz ]

＜p＞In "Rising Wolf the White Blackfoot," James Willard Schultz presents a compelling narrative that intertwines autobiography with the rich tapestry of Native American culture, specifically that of the Blackfoot tribe. The book employs a vivid and evocative literary style, drawing upon an ethnographic lens that seeks to bridge the gap between indigenous experiences and settler perspectives. Schultz's writing is imbued with a sense of authenticity, as he reflects on his life experiences among the Blackfoot, who bestowed upon him the name "Rising Wolf." This work situates itself within a broader literary context that explores the complexities of identity, cultural assimilation, and the preservation of indigenous traditions during a time of substantial upheaval in North America. James Willard Schultz was an early 20th-century author, explorer, and ethnographer whose deep affinity for the Blackfoot people shaped his life and work. His firsthand experiences living among and learning from the tribe inform the poignant narratives found in his writings. Schultz's unique position as a white man immersed in Native culture allows him to present an insider's perspective, cultivating mutual respect and understanding that is often absent from contemporary portrayals of indigenous peoples. "Rising Wolf the White Blackfoot" is a profound exploration of cultural identity and kinship that is essential reading for anyone interested in Native American history, ethnography, or multicultural narratives.

＜p＞＜strong＞When a wildfire destroyed her home and worldly possessions in the hills above Los Angeles,＜/strong＞ it didn’t take Megan Edwards long to recognize an opportunity. It took her husband a little longer (“Give me five minutes to grieve!”), but they were both soon planning to make the most of their sudden “stufflessness” and hit the road. They did so a few months later in a freshly built four-wheel-drive motorhome that was even more unusual because of the office in the back instead of a bedroom. This all happened back when “Internet” had not yet entered the lexicon but “email” had. The mobile office would allow Edwards to file stories with the newspapers she wrote for by cell phone. That was the idea, at least. At the beginning of 1994, cell service was patchy, unreliable, and expensive.＜/p＞ ＜p＞They also thought they’d be traveling for six months or so, when, they believed, they’d settle down and get back to normal. But five years and thousands of miles later, they were still on the road. In that time, they’d watched the Internet grow from a mysterious fad prized by people in remote locales into an unstoppable universal phenomenon. They started a website, RoadTripAmerica.com, to share road tripping tips and ideas. Slowly, their dream of being “at work, at home, and on the road, all at the same grand time” became a reality.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This edition marks the twentieth anniversary of Edwards’s memoir, which was first released in 1999. At its heart a story of making lemonade when life gives you lemons, this memoir is also a riveting and at times hilarious look at the early years of the World Wide Web. With a new introduction by the author and a foreword by Chris Epting, enjoy an armchair adventure across North America when the Internet was young. This edition also includes 22 photos dating from when the author lived on the road.＜/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＞＜strong＞The first full-length biography of the well-connected, but nearly forgotten frontier politician of antebellum America.＜/strong＞＜br /＞ The scion of a well-to-do Richmond, Virginia, family, William Pope DuVal (1784?1854) migrated to the Kentucky frontier as a youth in 1800. Settling in Bardstown, DuVal read law, served in Congress, and fought in the War of 1812.＜br /＞ In 1822, largely because of the influence of his lifelong friend John C. Calhoun, President James Monroe appointed DuVal the first civil governor of the newly acquired Territory of Florida. Enjoying successive appointments from the Adams and Jackson administrations, DuVal founded Tallahassee and presided over the territory's first twelve territorial legislative sessions, years that witnessed Middle Florida's development into one of the Old Southwest's most prosperous slave-based economies. Beginning with his personal confrontation with Miccosukee chief Neamathla in 1824 (an episode commemorated by Washington Irving), DuVal worked closely with Washington officials and oversaw the initial negotiations with the Seminoles.＜br /＞ A perennial political appointee, DuVal was closely linked to national and territorial politics in antebellum America. Like other "Calhounites" who supported Andrew Jackson's rise to the White House, DuVal became a casualty of the Peggy Eaton Affair and the Nullification Crisis. In fact he was replaced as Florida governor by Mrs. Eaton's husband, John Eaton. After leaving the governor's chair, DuVal migrated to Kentucky, lent his efforts to the cause of Texas Independence, and eventually returned to practice law and local politics in Florida. Throughout his career DuVal cultivated the arts of oratory and story-tellingーskills essential to success in the courtrooms and free-for-all politics of the American South. Part frontiersman and part sophisticate, DuVal was at home in the wilds of Kentucky, Florida, Texas, and Washington City. He delighted in telling tall tales, jests, and anecdotes that epitomized America's expansive, democratic vistas. Among those captivated by DuVal's life and yarns were Washington Irving, who used DuVal's tall tales as inspiration for his "The Early Experiences of Ralph Ringwood," and James Kirke Paulding, whose "Nimrod Wildfire" shared Du Val's brashness and bonhomie.＜br /＞ "In large brushstrokes, but with great attention to detail, Denham embeds DuVal's life in a wider portrait of the young Republic, and particularly in issues affecting the western states and the former Spanish borderlands Readers will find in this book a well-researched and well-written history that informs on many levels." ー ＜em＞The Historian＜/em＞＜br /＞ "Relying on a variety of sources extending well beyond DuVal's papers, Denham's work provides an intriguing account of a southerner immersed in the dynamics of politics at both the local and national levels.

＜p＞This book explores how human interaction in the frontier zones of the early modern Mediterranean was represented during the period, across genres and languages. The Muslim-Christian divide in the region produced an unusual kind of slavery, fostered a surge in conversion to Islam and offered an ideal habitat for Catholic martyrdom. The book argues that identities and alterities were multiple, that there was no war between Christianity and Islam and that commerce prevailed over ideology and dogma.

【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！】Hardscrabble; or, the fall of Chicago: a tale of Indian warfare A gripping tale of frontier conflicts and cultural clashes【電子書籍】[ Major Richardson ]

＜p＞In "Hardscrabble; or, the fall of Chicago: a tale of Indian warfare," Major Richardson presents a vivid narrative that intertwines historical events with rich, imaginative storytelling. Set against the backdrop of early 19th-century America, the novel captures the complexities of frontier life, detailing the struggles and resilience of settlers amidst the encroaching threat of Indigenous resistance. Richardson's prose is marked by a stark realism and a poignant exploration of the themes of survival, community, and the consequences of conflict, embodying the tensions inherent in manifest destiny during a pivotal era in American history. Major Richardson, a military figure turned author, draws on his own experiences in the tumultuous frontier life and the conflicts of his time. His firsthand knowledge of the landscape and interactions with Indigenous tribes provide an authenticity to his work, allowing him to grapple with the moral ambiguities of war and colonization. The lived experiences of Richardson, coupled with his proximity to significant historical events, inform a narrative that is as much a personal reflection as it is a historical account. I highly recommend "Hardscrabble" not only for its captivating storyline but also for its thoughtful engagement with historical and ethical questions. Readers with an interest in American history, literature, and the dynamics of colonialism will find Richardson's work both illuminating and provoking, as it challenges the prevailing narratives of its time.＜/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。

【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！】Boys Book of Frontier Fighters【電子書籍】[ Lily F. Wesselhoeft ]

＜p＞Excerpt: "The BOYS' BOOK OF INDIAN WARRIORS told of the deeds by the red Americans in defense of their lives and to keep their homes. This second book tells of the deeds by the white Americans, in defense of their lives and also to clear the way for their homes. It commences with the pioneers and hunters in the East, and continues on to the frontiersmen and soldiers in the West. These are stories of bravery and of pluck amidst great odds. In many of the stories victory was won by the aid of powder, ball and steel, used manfully. In others it was won by sheer nerve and wit aloneーfor a good fighter fights with his heart and head as fully as with his hands. Americans have always been great fighters, when called upon to fight in self-defense. They never quit until they are killed or triumphant; and although many may be killed, those they leave press forward again. In France the Americans "never gave up an inch." We Americans of to-day, looking back, may be proud not only of the part played by our blood in the World War, but likewise of the part it played in the days when, rifle in hand, we were hewing the peace trail in our own country. Clothes do not make the soldier. Whether in buckskin, wool, cotton gown or army uniform, those men and womenーyes, and boys and girlsーof frontier times in the forest and upon the plains and prairies were soldiers all, enlisted to face danger. It is largely the quick, dauntless spirit inherited from the American pioneers, hunters and Indian fighters of the old days that shone so brightly in the recent days when, in record time, we raised a gallant army of fighters, at home and abroad, against a desperate enemy."＜/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。
