Book Synopsis Outlaw by : Charles Leland Sonnichsen
Download or read book Outlaw written by Charles Leland Sonnichsen and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "C. L. Sonnichsen's "grass-roots" history here pays off in one of the most interesting contributions ever made to the story of frontier life. The author had treated the Mitchell-Truit feud in his "Ten Texas feuds" but found this story particularly interesting. For years he continued his investigations through dozens and dozens of personal interviews so that he could piece the story together in full and in detail. The result is a book about how it was to be that relatively common person of the American West - the outlaw, hiding for years under alias but trying to live a family life. The feud which developed between the friendly Mitchell and Truit families suddenly erupted into violence and killing on a road in Mitchell's Bend. Then followed trials, the death of a teen-age boy, and the hanging of Cooney Mitchell - and the avenging murder of James Truit by Bill Mitchell. For thirty years after the murder, Bill Mitchell, alias Baldy Russell, lived the life of an outlaw in Texas and New Mexico. He married, reared a family, had friends but few neighbors, constantly prepared for the time he knew would come. When it came, his capture was swift and ingenious. Then came years of trials, jails, prison and "escape," a continuing running from the law until his death. In putting down this one full account of an outlaw, C. L. Sonnichsen has achieved an outstanding contribution to Americana. The book is enriched by many pictures from private sources."
Book Synopsis The Mescalero Apaches by : C. L. Sonnichsen
Download or read book The Mescalero Apaches written by C. L. Sonnichsen and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2015-04-09 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frederick Webb Hodge remarked that the Eastern Apache tribe called the Mescaleros were “never regarded as so warlike” as the Apaches of Arizona. But the Mescaleros’ history is one of hardship and oppression alternating with wars of revenge. They were friendly to the Spaniards until victimized, and friendly to Americans until they were betrayed again. For three hundred years Mescaleros fought the Spaniards and Mexicans. They fought Americans for forty more, before subsiding into lethargy and discouragement. Only since 1930 have the Mescaleros been able to make tribal progress. C. L. Sonnichsen tells the story of the Mescalero Apaches from the earliest records to the modern day, from the Indian's point of view. In early days the Mescaleros moved about freely. Their principal range was between the Río Grande and the Pecos in New Mexico, but they hunted into the Staked Plains and southward into Mexico. They owned nothing and everything. Today the Mescaleros are American citizens and own their reservation in the Tularosa country of New Mexico. While the Mescalero Apaches still struggle to retain their traditions and bridge the gap between their old life and the new, their people have made amazing progress.

Book Synopsis Geronimo and the End of the Apache Wars by : Charles Leland Sonnichsen
Download or read book Geronimo and the End of the Apache Wars written by Charles Leland Sonnichsen and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After prolonged resistance against tremendous odds, Geronimo, the Apache shaman and war leader, and Naiche, the hereditary Chiricahua chief, surrendered to General Nelson A. Miles near the Mexican border on September 4, 1886. It was the beginning of a new day for white settlers in the Southwest and of bitter exile for the Indians. In Geronimo and the End of the Apache Wars Lieutenant Charles B. Gatewood, an emissary of General Miles, describes in vivid circumstantial detail his role in the final capture of Geronimo at Skeleton Canyon. Gatewood offers many intimate glimpses of the Apache chief in an important account published for the first time in this collection. Another first-person narration is by Samuel E. Kenoi, who was ten years old when Geronimo went on his last warpath. A Chiricahua Apache, Kenoi recalls the removal of his people to Florida after the surrender. In other colorful chapters Edwin R. Sweeney writes about the 1851 raid of the Mexican army that killed Geronmio's mother, wife, and children; and Albert E. Wratten relates the life of his father, George Wratten, a government scout, superintendent on three reservations, and defender of the rights of the Apaches.

(6) Columns for Discount on Purchases and Discount on Notes on the same side of the Cash Book; (c) Columns for Discount on Sales and Cash Sales on the debit side of the Cash Book; (d) Departmental columns in the Sales Book and in the Purchase Book. Controlling Accounts.--The addition of special columns in books of original entry makes possible the keeping of Controlling Accounts. The most common examples of such accounts are Accounts Receivable account and Accounts Payable account. These summary accounts, respectively, displace individual customers' and creditors' accounts in the Ledger. The customers' accounts are then segregated in another book called the Sales Ledger or Customers' Ledger, while the creditors' accounts are kept in the Purchase or Creditors' Ledger. The original Ledger, now much reduced in size, is called the General Ledger. The Trial Balance now refers to the accounts in the General Ledger. It is evident that the task of taking a Trial Balance is greatly simplified because so many fewer accounts are involved. A Schedule of Accounts Receivable is then prepared, consisting of the balances found in the Sales Ledger, and its total must agree with the balance of the Accounts Receivable account shown in the Trial Balance. A similar Schedule of Accounts Payable, made up of all the balances in the Purchase Ledger, is prepared, and it must agree with the balance of the Accounts Payable account of the General Ledger." The Balance Sheet.--In the more elementary part of the text, the student learned how to prepare a Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the purpose of disclosing the net capital of an enterprise. In the present chapter he was shown how to prepare a similar statement, the Balance Sheet. For all practical...
Book Synopsis Kendall of the Picayune by : Fayette Copeland
Download or read book Kendall of the Picayune written by Fayette Copeland and published by . This book was released on 1943 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Wilkins Kendall, who founded the New Orleans Picayune in 1837, guided the newspaper for thirty years and built it into a powerful force in behalf of America's westward expansion. Kendall's vigorous editorials championed the cause of the infant Republic of Texas. When the Texan Santa Fe Expedition was organized in 1841, for the purpose of occupying New Mexico (then still under Mexican rule), Kendall left his editorial chair to participate - and was marched off to Mexico a captive for seven months when the expedition was overwhelmed at Santa Fe. A few year's thereafter, when he accompanied American forces invading Mexico during the Mexican War, he became America's first war correspondent, reporting directly from the battlefront. His effective courier expresses brought the first news of each battle to an eager nation, including President Polk, who often read news of the war in Kendall's Picayune before hearing the same from his field commanders.
