Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels With Jottings: From Midland to the Pacific Being so near the home of our eminent fellow-citizen, U.S. G., at Galena, while my better-half was consuming time among her friends, what could I do better than run over and see friend Ulysses? So we took a run thither, and, having a pleasant chat with Sister Grant at their pleasant home, perched upon an eminence on the south side of the river, we left the company of this cordial, frank, and I should say accomplished lady, and took after Ulysses, who had gone down into the city to smoke his cigar with his old chums on the street. Mrs. Grant gave me the name of General Rowley, at whose office I would be likely to meet her husband. General Rowley informed me that he himself was the only living member of Grants staff during the war, and that he had come home not long before the close of the war not expecting to live. General Rowley was polite enough to go on to the street and find his illustrious chief and bring him in, and for two hours we three sat and conversed without interruption in General Rowleys office. Much of this conversation ran upon the governments, countries, and peoples, whom the ex-President had visited in his late circuit of the earth. He particularly took up the Turkish Government, and went over with great perspicuity its internal systems of military and civil affairs. He showed himself entirely conversant with its abominable system of taxation, and declared that the Government itself ought not to exist, and that the great Christian Powers, instead of sitting in deliberation of plans for its continuance, should have rather debated measures for its annihilation, subdivision and distribution making Constantinople a free city. That he has been a sharp, close student of the condition and state of the nations that he has visited was manifest from this conversation. I have on two former occasions come into personal conversation with and observation of Gen. Grant, and have each time been impressed with his directness, simplicity and candor, and never more so than on this occasion.

He is a gentleman of the size and general appearance of our Gov. Smith. He commands the' confidence of his people much as even Gov. Smith does ours. In conversing with him, upon the exodus of the colored people, he remarked that those who had come to Kansas, as a whole, were getting a living, and that the transfer of the freedmen at the South to the North had but just begun, that their knowledge of their rights and opportunities in this direction was universal throughout all their circles in the South. The prospects of Kansas seem to be of the most flattering kind at the present time. Our journey through her length. Via the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Railroad, was superb; good cars, good track, good eating-houses and polite conductors.

Book Synopsis Literary Culture and the Pacific by : Vanessa Smith
Download or read book Literary Culture and the Pacific written by Vanessa Smith and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-01-08 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1998 book examines a range of nineteenth-century European accounts from the Pacific, depicting Polynesian responses to imported metropolitan culture, in particular its technologies of writing and print. Texts designed to present self-affirming images of 'native' wonderment at European culture in fact betray the emergence of more complex modes of appropriation and interrogation by the Pacific peoples. Vanessa Smith argues that the Pacific islanders called into question the material basis and symbolic capacities of writing, even as they were first being framed in written representations. Examining accounts by beachcombers and missionaries, she suggests that complex modes of self-authorization informed the transmission of new cultural practices to the Pacific peoples. This shift of attention towards reception and appropriation provides the context for a detailed discussion of Robert Louis Stevenson's late Pacific writings.

Book Synopsis Dictionary of Polynesian Mythology by : Robert Dean Craig
Download or read book Dictionary of Polynesian Mythology written by Robert Dean Craig and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1989-10-11 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior to 1500 A.D. the Polynesians were the most widely spread people on earth, having settled an area of the Pacific, the Polynesian Triangle, twice the size of the United States. In this first reference guide to the mythology of these Vikings of the Pacific, Craig reviews Polynesian legends, stories, gods, goddesses, and heroes in hundreds of alphabetical entries that succinctly describe both characters and events. His wide-ranging and thorough introduction sets the subject in its geographic, historical, anthropological, and linguistic contexts, offering an illuminating overview of the origin of the Polynesians as a distinct people and tracing their voyages and settlements from Indonesia to Malaysia, Tonga, Samoa, the Marquesas, the various islands of eastern Polynesia, including Hawaii, Easter Island, and New Zealand. The introduction presents fascinating information on Polynesian navigational skills and the voyages themselves, as well as a chart that details the evolution of the thirty Polynesian languages and compares cognates from several of these languages. A simplified pronunciation guide and a selected list of Polynesian dictionaries and/or grammars are provided for those interested in pursuing the richness of the Polynesian languages. This introductory survey gives readers the necessary background to understand the origin, development, and dispersion of the myths throughout the Pacific basin. The Dictionary of Polynesian Mythology is the result of many years of research. The individual entries were gleaned from nearly 300 sources in English, German, French, and Polynesian languages with the majority extracted from a number of primary sources that date generally in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The printed source materials for this volume are fully described and listed by geographical group, including Maori, Cook Islands, Tahitian, Marquesan, Hawaiian, Samoan, and Tongan. General collections that retell the Polynesian stories are also surveyed. The entries are alphabetically arranged by major mythological figure; lesser characters can be located in the index. Short bibliographical citations--author, date, and page number--are included at the end of each main entry to direct readers to fuller information contained in the printed sources. An appendix provides valuable supplemental information on Polynesian gods and goddesses. This dictionary is sure to become a basic reference tool for libraries, students, and scholars of Pacific history and culture, as well as for courses in mythology, religion, and philosophy.
