Book Synopsis The a to Z of the War Of 1812 by : Robert Malcomson
Download or read book The a to Z of the War Of 1812 written by Robert Malcomson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2009-08 with total page 766 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While some wars are remembered forever, others quickly fade away. The War of 1812 has all but disappeared from American history, which might lead one to erroneously assume that it was not terribly important. Although there was no clear winner, this conflict deeply affected all participants. The Americans were proud that they had taken on one of the world's greatest powers and were not crushed. Britain still managed to hold onto its colonies, strengthening both their loyalty and identity as Canadians. The only real losers were the native peoples, who saw their claims to the land further eroded. The war was far from dull. There was plenty of action on the diplomatic front, as well as stirring encounters on land and at sea, many of which are carefully described in the entries in The A to Z of the War of 1812. Others deal with the more significant political and military figures; ships and weaponry; and the role of the British, Canadians, Native Americans, and the fledgling and not yet convincingly "United" States. The introduction presents an overview of the war, while the chronology outlines significant events. An extensive bibliography provides access for further studies that will be useful to those discovering just how important this war was. -- Back cover

Book Synopsis Sail, Steam, and Diesel by : Eric Hirsimaki
Download or read book Sail, Steam, and Diesel written by Eric Hirsimaki and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2024-04-01 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water transportation has played a key role in the Great Lakes region’s settlement and economic growth, from providing entry into the new lake states to offering cheap transportation for the goods they produced. There are numerous tales surrounding the Great Lakes shipping trade, but few storytellers have addressed the factors that influenced the use, design, and evolution of the ships that sailed the inland seas. Sail, Steam, and Diesel: Moving Cargo on the Great Lakes provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of Great Lakes ships over the centuries, from small birch-bark canoes originally used in the region to the massive thousand-footers of today. The author also looks at the economics of vessel operation in the context of the expanding scope of the shipping industry, which was crucial in catapulting America into becoming an industrial juggernaut. The captains of industry and the sailors whose labor propelled the trade populate this account, which also offers solemn acknowledgment of the high cost paid in both lost ships and lives. Although they might not realize it, millions of Americans have owed their livelihoods to the Great Lakes boats, and this volume is an excellent way to recognize the importance of this regional industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The War of 1812 was an extremely complicated war motivated by British seizures of American vessels and goods, American desire to expand into Canada, and impressment of American sailors into the British Navy.

This book does just that, as it covers the period leading up to the war (1803-1812) and the events of the war itself (1812-1815) through the use of a dictionary consisting of more than 1,400 cross-referenced entries covering descriptions of engagements, ships, weaponry, the compositions of regiments, significant political and military figures, and a full list of key places, issues and terms. Also included are 21 photographs, 6 maps, a chronology of events, an introductory essay, and a comprehensive bibliography, subdivided by topic and fully annotated.

Book Synopsis Around-the-World Flights by : Patrick M. Stinson
Download or read book Around-the-World Flights written by Patrick M. Stinson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2011-08-12 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Wilbur and Orville Wright's first machine-powered flight, adventurers have pondered the prospect of flying around the world. Though in the early 20th century the idea seemed as plausible as traveling to Mars, aviators made their first attempts in the wake of World War I and have never looked back. This history of around-the-world flights explores the endeavor, starting with the first tentative journeys that allowed changing aircraft en route due to expected breakdowns. Once flying machines demonstrated reliable performance over global distances, a period of one-upmanship emerged, with each new venture striving to outdo the previous one. Today, even with international air travel having become routine, aviators strive to set records, now using unconventional aircraft and fuel sources. Paying tribute to the supporting personnel as well as to the flight captains at the center of attention, this work celebrates aviation's continued spirit of adventure.

What damage they may do to us and our very way of life is yet to be realized.
