Download or read book The Great Gold Swindle of Lubec, Maine written by Ronald Pesha and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1897, a stranger named Reverend Prescott Jernegan arrived in Lubec and made a bold claim: he could extract gold from seawater. To do so, he used so-called accumulators of electrically charged rods in iron pots. Fooling many, he actually hid the gold beneath a wharf in the Bay of Fundy during the night. He and his accomplice, Charles Fisher, preached with fervent enthusiasm as they built their factory and encouraged inspections, which reversed doubters to greedy high-stakes investors. Hundreds of laborers accelerated factory expansion until July 1897, when Jernegan and Fisher fled. Although residents of Lubec attempted civil and criminal action, both men relocated, and fantasies of gold wealth flowed away. Relive the excitement, disappointment and anger of turn-of-the-century Mainers in this collection of accounts about the Lubec gold hoax.

Download or read book Harriet Tubman written by Jean M. Humez and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2006-02-06 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harriet Tubman’s name is known world-wide and her exploits as a self-liberated Underground Railroad heroine are celebrated in children’s literature, film, and history books, yet no major biography of Tubman has appeared since 1943. Jean M. Humez’s comprehensive Harriet Tubman is both an important biographical overview based on extensive new research and a complete collection of the stories Tubman told about her life—a virtual autobiography culled by Humez from rare early publications and manuscript sources. This book will become a landmark resource for scholars, historians, and general readers interested in slavery, the Underground Railroad, the Civil War, and African American women. Born in slavery in Maryland in or around 1820, Tubman drew upon deep spiritual resources and covert antislavery networks when she escaped to the north in 1849. Vowing to liberate her entire family, she made repeated trips south during the 1850s and successfully guided dozens of fugitives to freedom. During the Civil War she was recruited to act as spy and scout with the Union Army. After the war she settled in Auburn, New York, where she worked to support an extended family and in her later years founded a home for the indigent aged. Celebrated by her primarily white antislavery associates in a variety of private and public documents from the 1850s through the 1870s, she was rediscovered as a race heroine by woman suffragists and the African American women’s club movement in the early twentieth century. Her story was used as a key symbolic resource in education, institutional fundraising, and debates about the meaning of "race" throughout the twentieth century. Humez includes an extended discussion of Tubman’s work as a public performer of her own life history during the nearly sixty years she lived in the north. Drawing upon historiographical and literary discussion of the complex hybrid authorship of slave narrative literature, Humez analyzes the interactive dynamic between Tubman and her interviewers. Humez illustrates how Tubman, though unable to write, made major unrecognized contributions to the shaping of her own heroic myth by early biographers like Sarah Bradford. Selections of key documents illustrate how Tubman appeared to her contemporaries, and a comprehensive list of primary sources represents an important resource for scholars.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1959, this book by U.S. Army Air Corps Major George Racey Jordan tells of the loss of U.S. gold reserves under Franklin D. Roosevelt’s administration, when, in an effort to counter the deflation which was paralyzing the economy, Executive Order 6102 declared that all privately held gold of American citizens was to be sold to the U.S. Treasury and the price raised from $20 to $35 per ounce. In Gold Swindle: The Story of Our Dwindling Gold, Major Jordan discusses in detail the gold threat to national security, analyses the government’s power and sources thereof; describes the impending national crisis; and suggests steps to regain the U.S. citizens’ right to own and hold gold.

Book excerpt: A novel based on the history of Topsail Island, NC, beginning with the final days of piracy in the era dominated by the infamous Blackbeard. The story winds its way through a suspicious search for Blackbeard's treasure in The Dirty Thirties, the subsequent use of the island as a US Military Rocket Testing Facility after World War 2, through the tourism boom in the 1990's, the real estate crash of 2008 and culminating in the island's subsequent recovery. Wendell Forbes, a young real estate developer, dreamed only of success when he purchased development property on Topsail Island. When the bottom fell out of the market, facing bankruptcy, he devised an audacious plan to save his subdivision. Unfortunately his adversary was desperately awaiting Forbes' failure. His plan was to acquire both the land and Blackbeard's elusive treasure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporaries in imagination as in fact, James Joyce and Sigmund Freud pondered the complexities and depths of human consciousness and found distinct ways to represent it-the one as a great novelist, the other as the first psychoanalyst. In this book, Paul Schwaber, both a professor of literature and a psychoanalyst, brings a clinician’s attentiveness and a scholar-critic’s literary commitment to the study of characterization in Ulysses.
