Book Synopsis Strange Empire by : Joseph Kinsey Howard
Download or read book Strange Empire written by Joseph Kinsey Howard and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-01 with total page 812 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Joseph Kinsey Howard’s last major work. It describes for the first time in detail, the heroic struggle of a primitive people to establish their own empire in the heart of the North American continent. Throughout his lifetime, Joseph Kinsey Howard was absorbed by the fateful dream of these American primitives, the Métis: their fathers, the English, the French, the Scots frontiersmen; their mothers the Native Americans. “The compass of Strange Empire is the history of the resistance put up by people of mixed French and Indian blood and by their cousins, the Plains Indians, to the advance of the Canadian settlement frontier. Mr. Howard’s narrative...is outstanding, not because he has offered much that hitherto was not known about the events, but because of his sensitive delineation of the cultures of the Plainsmen.”—Douglas Kemp, The Beaver “Mr. Howard’s book...is history reflective of his humanity, as it is reflective of his integrity, his scholarship, his depth, his informed respect for language. It will endure as a contribution to historiography. “—A. B. Guthrie, Saturday Review “The author has sacrificed neither fact nor detail in bringing to life events which hitherto have escaped the attention of most historians. Recommended.”—J. E. Brown, Library Journal “A moving and brooding book.”—R. L. Neuberger, New York Times “Vivid and absorbing. This book describes one of the crucial struggles in the long war for the west. It is sound and significant history, written with ardor and skill.”—Walter Havighurst, Chicago Sunday Tribune
Book Synopsis The Picky Eagle by : Richard W. Maass
Download or read book The Picky Eagle written by Richard W. Maass and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-15 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Picky Eagle explains why the United States stopped annexing territory by focusing on annexation's domestic consequences, both political and normative. It describes how the US rejection of further annexations, despite its rising power, set the stage for twentieth-century efforts to outlaw conquest. In contrast to conventional accounts of a nineteenth-century shift from territorial expansion to commercial expansion, Richard W. Maass argues that US ambitions were selective from the start. By presenting twenty-three case studies, Maass examines the decision-making of US leaders facing opportunities to pursue annexation between 1775 and 1898. US presidents, secretaries, and congressmen consistently worried about how absorbing new territories would affect their domestic political influence and their goals for their country. These leaders were particularly sensitive to annexation's domestic costs where xenophobia interacted with their commitment to democracy: rather than grant political representation to a large alien population or subject it to a long-term imperial regime, they regularly avoided both of these perceived bad options by rejecting annexation. As a result, US leaders often declined even profitable opportunities for territorial expansion, and they renounced the practice entirely once no desirable targets remained. In addition to offering an updated history of the foundations of US territorial expansion, The Picky Eagle adds important nuance to previous theories of great-power expansion, with implications for our understanding of US foreign policy and international relations.
Book Synopsis Reporting the Resistance by : Alexander Begg
Download or read book Reporting the Resistance written by Alexander Begg and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2003-12-19 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reporting the Resistance brings together two first-person accounts to give a view "from the ground" of the developments that shocked Canada and created the province of Manitoba. In 1869 and 1870, Begg and Hargrave were regular correspondents for (respectively) the Toronto Globe and the Montreal Herald. While neither man was a committed supporter of the Metis or Louis Riel, each gives a more complex, and more sympathetic, view of the resistance that is commonly expected from the Anglophone community of Red River. They describe, often from very different perspectives, the events of the resistance, as well as give insider accounts of the social and political background. Largely unreprinted until now, this correspondence remains a relatively untapped resource for contemporary views of the resistance. These are the Red River's own accounts, and are often quite different from the perspective of eastern observers.

Book Synopsis Louis Riel, the Rebel and the Hero by : Hartwell Bowsfield
Download or read book Louis Riel, the Rebel and the Hero written by Hartwell Bowsfield and published by Oxford University Press Canada. This book was released on 1971 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise and fall of Louis Riel (1844-85) spanned only fifteen years, yet he is one of the most controversial and colourful people in Canadian history. The central figure in two rebellions, which he led on behalf of the French-speaking half-breeds called Metis, Riel has caught the imagination of Canadians as few other historical personalities have done. His career began with the acts of resistance at the Red River Settlement in 1869, and continued through the formation of a Provisional Government and the notorious shooting of Thomas Scott in 1870, through years of mental illness and exile in the United States, to the North West Rebellion of 1885. It reached an inevitable climax with his surrender and trial and the passionate outpouring of feeling that rocked the country when he was found guilty of treason and executed. The religious and racial emotions of the time, the bigotry and opportunism of politicians, and Riel's own unstable mental condition all combine to make of his life a Canadian tragedy, one that had profound consequences for Confederation.
