Download or read book Buffalo Bill's America written by Louis S. Warren and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody was the most famous American of his age. He claimed to have worked for the Pony Express when only a boy and to have scouted for General George Custer. But what was his real story? And how did a frontiersman become a worldwide celebrity? In this prize-winning biography, acclaimed author Louis S. Warren explains not only how Cody exaggerated his real experience as an army scout and buffalo hunter, but also how that experience inspired him to create the gigantic, traveling spectacle known as Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. A dazzling mix of Indians, cowboys, and vaqueros, they performed on two continents for three decades, offering a surprisingly modern view of the United States and a remarkably democratic version of its history. This definitive biography reveals the genius of America’s greatest showman, and the startling history of the American West that drove him and his performers to the world stage.

Download or read book Convicting the Mormons written by Janiece Johnson and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2023-04-06 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On September 11, 1857, a small band of Mormons led by John D. Lee massacred an emigrant train of men, women, and children heading west at Mountain Meadows, Utah. News of the Mountain Meadows Massacre, as it became known, sent shockwaves through the western frontier of the United States, reaching the nation's capital and eventually crossing the Atlantic. In the years prior to the massacre, Americans dubbed the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints the "Mormon problem" as it garnered national attention for its "unusual" theocracy and practice of polygamy. In the aftermath of the massacre, many Americans viewed Mormonism as a real religious and physical threat to white civilization. Putting the Mormon Church on trial for its crimes against American purity became more important than prosecuting those responsible for the slaughter. Religious historian Janiece Johnson analyzes how sensational media attention used the story of the Mountain Meadows Massacre to enflame public sentiment and provoke legal action against Latter-day Saints. Ministers, novelists, entertainers, cartoonists, and federal officials followed suit, spreading anti-Mormon sentiment to collectively convict the Mormon religion itself. This troubling episode in American religious history sheds important light on the role of media and popular culture in provoking religious intolerance that continues to resonate in the present.

Download or read book Outside America written by Dan Moos and published by UPNE. This book was released on 2005 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new study of those excluded from the national narrative of the West. Dan Moos challenges both traditional and revisionist perspectives in his exploration of the role of the mythology of the American West in the creation of a national identity. While Moos concurs with contemporary scholars who note that the myths of the American West depended in part upon the exclusion of certain groups - African Americans, Native Americans, and Mormons - he notes that many scholars, in their eagerness to identify and validate such excluded positions, have given short shrift to the cultural power of the myths they seek to debunk. That cultural power was such, Moos notes, that these disenfranchised groups themselves sought to harness it to their own ends through the active appropriation of the terms of those myths in advocating for their own inclusion in the national narrative. that, because the construction of American culture was never designed to accommodate these outsiders, their writings display a division between their imagined place in the narrative of the nation and their effacement within the real West marked by intolerance and inequality.

Book excerpt: Just outside town at the river, Jon Reeves thinks about his recent football success and the impact a failing grade in math would have on his future. He decides to get help from the brainiest, most standoffish girl in high school, the black sheep who never does anything outside of school. Nancy agrees to help because she imagines what fun it will be to see a jock squirming under her tutelage. She not only teaches him math but also grills him about his personal beliefs. Surprisingly, Jon responds to the challenge with forthrightness. This puzzles Nancy. Could this "pass-catching, body-building connoisseur of jock straps, " this Mormon boy on his way to a Utah college, be taking her seriously? What she doesn't realize is how seriously Jon is struggling to wrap his mind around puzzles he has never considered. He begins silently questioning everything, all the while feeling as if he is on an emotional roller coaster. Facing the beginnings of independent mental and moral standing, Jon finds himself often returning to the river. Free from pressure, he searches for grounding there on his own terms. Up to the final chapter of this well conceived and finely executed story, Michael Fillerup offers unexpected turns of plot and mind games that readers might themselves find difficult to dismiss with easy answers.
