Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the author of Ghost Soldiers comes an eye-opening history of the American conquest of the West—"a story full of authority and color, truth and prophecy" (The New York Times Book Review). In the summer of 1846, the Army of the West marched through Santa Fe, en route to invade and occupy the Western territories claimed by Mexico. Fueled by the new ideology of “Manifest Destiny,” this land grab would lead to a decades-long battle between the United States and the Navajos, the fiercely resistant rulers of a huge swath of mountainous desert wilderness. At the center of this sweeping tale is Kit Carson, the trapper, scout, and soldier whose adventures made him a legend. Sides shows us how this illiterate mountain man understood and respected the Western tribes better than any other American, yet willingly followed orders that would ultimately devastate the Navajo nation. Rich in detail and spanning more than three decades, this is an essential addition to our understanding of how the West was really won.

Download or read book The Measure of Merit written by John Carson and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How have modern democracies squared their commitment to equality with their fear that disparities in talent and intelligence might be natural, persistent, and consequential? In this wide-ranging account of American and French understandings of merit, talent, and intelligence over the past two centuries, John Carson tells the fascinating story of how two nations wrestled scientifically with human inequalities and their social and political implications. Surveying a broad array of political tracts, philosophical treatises, scientific works, and journalistic writings, Carson chronicles the gradual embrace of the IQ version of intelligence in the United States, while in France, the birthplace of the modern intelligence test, expert judgment was consistently prized above such quantitative measures. He also reveals the crucial role that determinations of, and contests over, merit have played in both societies--they have helped to organize educational systems, justify racial hierarchies, classify army recruits, and direct individuals onto particular educational and career paths. A contribution to both the history of science and intellectual history, The Measure of Merit illuminates the shadow languages of inequality that have haunted the American and French republics since their inceptions.

Download or read book The Carsons of Mount Pleasant written by Neil Carson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-13 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When one thinks of the name Carson and the frontier, one's mind turns naturally to "Kit" Carson, one of the greatest of the frontiersmen. This history, however, is not that of Kit Carson, but of some of his cousins. It is the history of much of the family of Samuel Carson, who in the early part of the Eighteenth Century settled in Mount Pleasant Township in what became York County, Pennsylvania. Samuel was one of the brothers of Kit Carson's grandfather, William Carson, who himself came first to Pennsylvania but soon went south to North Carolina. Samuel Carson was one of the pioneer settlers in the part of Pennsylvania west of the Susquehanna River. Samuel's descendants were also frontiersmen. As the frontier moved, they moved with it, clearing new land and establishing new farms. They were among the early settlers of the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. They were also among the first to move into that part of western North Carolina that became Jefferson, Greene and Washington Counties in Tennessee. In that area one of their cousins is reputed to have hunted with Davy Crockett. Then as the Indiana Territory was opened, they moved into it. One of them supervised the first road built in Franklin County, Indiana. Others died in the malaria-ridden swamps of Johnson County, Indiana before enough trees were cleared to allow the sun to dry the land. Some of them later moved west to farm lands in North Dakota, Idaho and Washington. As some of the later generations moved off the farm, they too became pioneers in their own way. One became a saddler and harness maker, another a pharmacist. Another helped to found what later became Carson-Newman College in Tennessee. Still another became a civil engineer and plowed through the jungles of Malaysia to select sites for mini-power plants on the rivers. During the author's career as a naval officer and civilian employee of the Department of Defense, he became known as an innovator - organizing new units, developing new techniques and heading new projects. He attributed his constant desire to be on the frontiers of knowledge, which led him into the areas of atomic energy, earth satellites and finally computers, to the heritage of these pioneer ancestors. While this book attempts to adhere to sound principles of genealogical research and documentation, it was the author's hope that the frontier spirit of the Carsons whose lives are chronicled would shine through and inspire his descendants to keep that spirit alive.

Download or read book The Social History of Bourbon written by Gerald Carson and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A high-spirited history of the role bourbon has played in American life and culture, “documented and full of folklore” (Kirkus Reviews). The distinctive beverage of the Western world, bourbon is Kentucky’s illustrious gift to the nation. While much has been written about whiskey, the particular place of bourbon in the American cultural record has long awaited detailed and objective presentation. A fascinating and informative contribution to Americana, The Social History of Bourbon reflects an aspect of our national cultural identity that has been widely overlooked. Gerald Carson explores the impact of the liquor’s presence during America’s early development, as well as bourbon’s role in some of the more dramatic events in American history, including the Whiskey Rebellion, the scandals of the Whiskey Ring, and the “whiskey forts” of the fur trade. From moonshiners to the Civil War to Old West saloons and the privations of Prohibition, The Social History of Bourbon is a revealing look at the role of this classic beverage in the development of American manners and culture. “Goes into the families and personalities of bourbon’s early history and does so with humor . . . a great cause to raise a glass.” ―Rowley’s Whiskey Forge

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Figure of Kit Carson strides through the literature of the American West in heroic size. Trader, trapper, scout, brigadier general of New Mexico Volunteers, and many other things besides, he has appealed to the public imagination as no other frontiersman has. Many biographies and who versions of his “autobiography” have been published. Yet much of the legend still remains to be separated from the facts, declares the author of this new biography. “I am an admirer of Carson,” says Mr. Carter, “and have no wish deliberately to debunk him, but I am interested in correcting the statements of uncritical hero worship many by many writers.” Kit is allowed to speak for himself, as far as possible, through an exact transcription of his dictated reminiscences made from the manuscript in the Newberry Library, Chicago. Persons and places are clearly identified, and Kit’s slips of memory are corrected in the definitive annotation of his account. One hundred years of speculation about the identity of the man who transcribed Carson’s story is ended. Mr. Carter has established positive identification, based on carefully assembled facts. A new assessment of Kit’s character and reputation is included, as well as an annotated account of the last years of his life.

History, to be of service, must be remembered. A merely circumstantial mind may grasp and retain for a time a series of disconnected dates and events, but such facts do not appeal to that more common yet not less able type of intellect that asks not only when, but why, such and such a thing happened; that instinctively relates a given event to some other event, and thus goes on to a certain solidity and permanency in conclusions.

Book excerpt: The most significant acquisition of Americana by the Library of Congress in this century, the Marion S. Carson Collection contains vast amounts of historical raw material - manuscripts, photographs, prints, drawings, books, broadsides, and printed ephemera - from the Colonial era through the 1876 Centennial celebration. In essays illustrated with color photographs of 125 of the documents, noted historian Robert V. Remini and Library of Congress specialists show how the largely unplumbed Carson Collection enriches our view of early American life and culture, and may even change our present understanding of the nation's ever-evolving story.
