Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indian Stories Many years ago I lived among the Indians and knew them well. They were very different from the Indians of to-day. It would be hard now to find any Indians who are as close to the original traditions as were those old friends of mine. I want to give the boys and girls of to-day a chance to see the Indian as I saw him, and to know how he lived and what he thought. It is a pleasure to tell this story; for I came to love the Indian, and I had great respect for him and for his manner of life. When I first lived among the Dakotas, they were still strongly prejudiced in favor of the old ways, tradi tions and customs. They looked back-with regret upon earlier times, when they lived, unmolested, the wild, free life of the forests. They said that their ancestors were better men than they, because their ancestors lived closer to the Great Spirit, by whom the actions of all Indians were guided. I give the stories as they were told to me by old men who knew and loved the old-time ways, and who wanted to give me the real facts because they saw that I respected their customs and believed in them. In these stories I share with the boys and girls of to-day, who can never know the old-fashioned Indians, my recollections of a busy and happy life among them, at a time when they had not unlearned all the old customs.

I came when the great autumn feast of the Mother was past I was there at the ending of the winter, when plague broke out in our midst, and the streets at night were thronged with seething multitudes who sang strange litanies and went half mad with religious excitement; I remained through the terrific heat, when activity became a burden, and only one's Hindu friends understood how to live; I left my home for a time when the tropical rains had begun, and in the adjoining roads the cab horses were up to their girths in water hour after hour.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Friends and I Friendships fade from him, but the success ful man stands firm. It may be that on that dizzy point where, like the eagle, he has placed himself, there is no room for amate. Alone he has fought the solemn battle of life; he has been bold and cautious; with a single eye and for his own hand he has waged war upon the world, and has gotten the victory. Friends may have disappointed him; friends may have forgotten him he does not complain. The hero of his boyish fancy has made no mark in the world the comrade of his first struggles in political life has been alienated from him she whom he chose to be closer than a friend, has been to him the greatest disappointment of all. But, come what disillusions may, he who is strong to help himself, and to make others help him in the world's great battle, will raise his head proudly, and with a wary eye on friends and foes alike, go on grandly self-confident from victory to victory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indian Home Memories I belong to an anglo-indian family, and am saturated with Indian traditions and associations. My father and grandfather were in the Indian Civil Service before me, and one of my sons is now a member of that Service. I was myself in the Civil Service for thirty-five years. My life in India was not devoid of incident; I have had the honour to rise to high office, and for four years after my retirement I sat as a Member of the House of Commons. I have made many friends, and, I am sorry to say, not a few enemies. In these pages, which are an unvarnished record, I submit my memoirs to the judgment of the public, and venture to hope that they may add to the number of my friends and not increase the ranks of those who are enrolled upon the other side.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Friends and Memories A short time ago, during one of my periodical visits to London, a friend asked me if I had never thought of writing my memoirs. I was very much astonished, for it had never occurred to me that anyone would care to read anything I had to say about myself and my extremely erratic life. And I couldn't help thinking of a little story that had just been told to me by the landlady of the rooms where I was staying. She was one of the kindest and nicest women I ever came across, and was often extremely amusing. This was her story.

Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXI GIVE THE RED MAN HIS PORTION The Treasury of the United States holds something like thirty-six million dollars in funds belonging to the Indians. The fund, as it stands, might be described as an endowment for the creation of paupers and the perpetuation of the present state of dependence among the people to whose credit it stands. In addition to this fund, the government holds for the Indians a vast amount in landed property, the title to a great deal of which property will pass to the Indian in twenty-five years after he accepts an allotment. The issuance of the patent in fee may be expedited by any Indian who thinks well enough of his heirs to betake himself to the happy hunting-grounds; for in that event, the land may be sold for the benefit of the decedent's family. It is quite impossible to value the land even approximately, but it is worth many millions of dollars. And, resting as he does under the weight of this burden of wealth, getting enough of iMrom time to time to keep the life in his body and prevent him from exerting himself to any great extent on his own behalf, the American Indian is fated to die in a state of unthrift and indigence, a sort of half-starved ward in chancery. It appears to me that it is the duty of the government to make some provision presently for the emancipation of these unhappy victims, to deliver them from the evils that guarantee a future of ungentle paupery, by giving to the Indian his portion and turning him adrift to work out his own salvation. The Indian and his condition is not so important a matter to the majority of the people of the United States as the smashing of the trusts and the reformation of the "system"; but no question that affects the moral and physical salvation of over...
Book Synopsis My Friend Bill by : Anson Albert Gard
Download or read book My Friend Bill written by Anson Albert Gard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Friend Bill: Many Stories Told in the Telling of One The writer of My Friend Bill has made no attempt at a literary production, and he trusts that his readers will not view his first effort from any such standpoint. He believes that a story may contain interest even though the strict rules of literature are not followed. To write by rule is to lay down a plan and make everything fit to that plan. My Friend Bill is a life-story: and no rule can be laid down to fit 'a life. Each day brings forth a change, and the rules of yesterday may be broken by the happenings of to-day. My Friend Bill is a human story, in which the heart rather than the intellect guided the pen. That which pleases the intellect is a passing pleasure - that which touches the heart is a lasting impression. The author has a kindly feeling for all those who see only the seamy side of life, and no patience with those whose selfishness would crush the hopes and ambitions of the under man.

Here for a while their routes became different, as Hampton Was to go in a steamer with the heavy luggage from Southampton, while she journeyed across France a few days later, with her new friends, meeting again at Alexandria. Mrs. Chantney was quite an old Indian in her appearance and manners, although she was not at all an old woman. She had that worn, haggard look, which Englishwomen acquire after a long residence in the tropics, and was dressed fashionably and yet carelesslv. She was much less stiff, our heroine thought, than untravelled Englishwomen generally are, and altogether had a slightly foreign air which rather pleased than otherwise. She seemed satisfied with her young companion's appearance, and very soon commenced a series of lectures concerning her conduct on board ship, &c You know, my dear, she said, without any flattery, you are very nice looking, and there are alwavs a number of good for nothing young officers on board these steamers, who will try to persuade you that they are ready to jump overboard for your sake, while the truth is they are probably engaged to some confiding girl in England, or have sworn the same vapid oaths to every one they have danced with; and in fact have been so spoiled by the way the young women go on now-a-days, that they are insufferable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the bestselling author of Before We Were Yours comes a dramatic historical novel of three young women searching for family amid the destruction of the post–Civil War South, and of a modern-day teacher who learns of their story and its vital connection to her students’ lives. “An absorbing historical . . . enthralling.”—Library Journal Bestselling author Lisa Wingate brings to life startling stories from actual “Lost Friends” advertisements that appeared in Southern newspapers after the Civil War, as newly freed slaves desperately searched for loved ones who had been sold away. Louisiana, 1875: In the tumultuous era of Reconstruction, three young women set off as unwilling companions on a perilous quest: Hannie, a freed slave; Lavinia, the pampered heir to a now destitute plantation; and Juneau Jane, Lavinia’s Creole half sister. Each carries private wounds and powerful secrets as they head for Texas, following roads rife with vigilantes and soldiers still fighting a war lost a decade before. For Lavinia and Juneau Jane, the journey is one of stolen inheritance and financial desperation, but for Hannie, torn from her mother and siblings before slavery’s end, the pilgrimage west reignites an agonizing question: Could her long-lost family still be out there? Beyond the swamps lie the limitless frontiers of Texas and, improbably, hope. Louisiana, 1987: For first-year teacher Benedetta Silva, a subsidized job at a poor rural school seems like the ticket to canceling her hefty student debt—until she lands in a tiny, out-of-step Mississippi River town. Augustine, Louisiana, is suspicious of new ideas and new people, and Benny can scarcely comprehend the lives of her poverty-stricken students. But amid the gnarled live oaks and run-down plantation homes lie the century-old history of three young women, a long-ago journey, and a hidden book that could change everything.
