Book Synopsis Hidden History of Exeter by : Barbara Rimkunas
Download or read book Hidden History of Exeter written by Barbara Rimkunas and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Wheelwright, a man too pure for the Puritans, founded Exeter in 1638. Resourceful, notorious and just plain unusual characters have populated the town ever since. Thinking inside the box, Albert and Lucy Tyler tried to ship themselves home to Exeter in a piano box after they ran out of funds on the West Coast. Albertus T. Dudley saved the town's founding document from the hands of William Randolph Hearst. Exeter has a paradoxical streak--it is an inland town with a working seaport, and it was both adamantly anti-abolition and home to the Free-Soil Party. Exeter Historical Society curator Barbara Rimkunas uncovers the lesser-known tidbits and gems hidden in the town's history.

It also discusses genre, bias (political and otherwise) and how to read history books between the lines. Written for undergraduates, intro graduate students and anyone with an informed interest in the subject, How to Read a History Book demonstrates that, rather than being objects that fall from the sky, history books are actually socially-constructed artifacts reflecting all the contradictions of modern meritocratic capitalism.

Book excerpt: Winner of the Telegraph Sports Book Awards Rugby Book of the Year Among the best stories in modern British team sport has been the rise of Exeter Chiefs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Exeter The writer of this work, when engaged in compiling the History of the Religious Houses in the County of Devon, was frequently astonished at the vague and inaccurate accounts that had been published of those monastic establishments which formerly flourished in the City of Exeter. After completing the above-mentioned work, he determined to devote his leisure moments to the study of the Exeter historians. He knew that Izacke's Memorials was reputed a work of authority and credit; and it was reasonable to think, that a man who was Chamberlain of Exeter for thirty years, would have availed himself of the ample means which he possessed to compile a faithful and interesting account of his native city. He had, however, proceeded but a little way, when he discovered that Izacke is a careless and misleading guide; that he betrays a lamentable deficiency of good taste and judgment; and that to excessive credulity and puerility, he unites no inconsiderable share of dogmatical assurance. Moreover, he deserves censure for not acknowledging his great obligations to Mr. John Hoker. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis A Hidden History of the Tower of London by : John Paul Davis
Download or read book A Hidden History of the Tower of London written by John Paul Davis and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2020-03-30 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Famed as the ultimate penalty for traitors, heretics and royalty alike, being sent to the Tower is known to have been experienced by no less than 8,000 unfortunate souls. Many of those who were imprisoned in the Tower never returned to civilisation and those who did, often did so without their head! It is hardly surprising that the Tower has earned itself a reputation among the most infamous buildings on the planet. There have, of course, been other towers. Practically every castle ever built has consisted of at least one; indeed, even by the late 14th century, the Tower proudly boasted no less than 21\. Yet even as early as the 1100s, the effect that the first Tower had on the psyche of the local population was considerable. The sight of the dark four-pointed citadel – at the time the largest building in London – as it appeared against the backdrop of the expanding city gave rise to many legends, ranging from the exact circumstances of its creation to what went on within its strong walls. In ten centuries what once consisted of a solitary keep has developed into a complex castle around which the history of England has continuously evolved. So revered has it become that legend has it that should the Tower fall, so would the kingdom. Beginning with the early tales surrounding its creation, this book investigates the private life of an English icon. Concentrating on the Tower’s developing role throughout the centuries, not in terms of its physical expansion into a site of unique architectural majesty or many purposes but through the eyes of those who experienced its darker side, it pieces together the, often seldom-told, human story and how the fates of many of those who stayed within its walls contributed to its lasting effect on England’s – and later the UK’s – destiny. From ruthless traitors to unjustly killed Jesuits, vanished treasures to disappeared princes and jaded wives to star-crossed lovers, this book provides a raw and at times unsettling insight into its unsolved mysteries and the lot of its unfortunate victims, thus explaining how this once typical castle came to be the place we will always remember as THE TOWER.
Book Synopsis The Secret History of Oxford by : Paul Sullivan
Download or read book The Secret History of Oxford written by Paul Sullivan and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Secret History of Oxford offers the reader an off-the-beaten-track tour of the city's landmarks and streets. Filled with hundreds of facts and anecdotes, it reveals the amusing, unlikely and downright wonderful stories hidden beneath the surface. Some, such as the fact that the founder of Oxford was eaten by wolves, will be known; many others, such as the fact that Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, stole a piece of New College's unicorn horn, that one of the Fellows of Christ Church was a bear or that Oxford Castle has England's most frequently sighted ghost, are much less widely known – and some of these stories have not appeared in print for hundreds of years. With rare photographs and intriguing information on the people, eras and events that defined the city's history, this book lets the flying cats out of the bags, rattles the dragons' cages and reveals all the skeletons in the city's cupboards.
