In his dual biography based on six years of archival research, Stephen Moskey offers a fresh look into Americas Gilded Age while focusing not just on the lives of the Andersons, but also on the intersection of wealth, celebrity, politics, gender, and race as one century ended and another began. While leading others back in time, Moskey shines a light on Larzs professional achievements as well as Isabels emergence as an American woman of the early modern era whose words and deeds anticipated womens roles in culture and society today. Larz and Isabel Anderson shares the story of a glittering Gilded Age couple as they lived, worked, prospered, and gave back during a fascinating time in Americas history.

It includes chapters on the inducements offered to recruit soldiers, the organization of the Society of the Cincinnati (the first veterans' organization in U.S. history), the difficulties faced by veterans in the early years of the republic, the distribution of land warrants and land grants to veterans, early veterans' narratives, the commemoration of the Revolution in the 1820s, and the pension acts of 1818 and 1832, as well as other legislation benefiting Revolutionary War veterans. It concludes with chapters on women veterans and widows of Revolutionary War soldiers and on the last Revolutionary War veterans, including those who lived long enough to be photographed in old age. These themes are illustrated by eighty-five manuscripts, books, prints, broadsides, portraits, and other artifacts from the collections of the Society of the Cincinnati and its constituent societies.
Download or read book Elizabeth Taylor written by Wayne Griffin and published by . This book was released on 2024-08-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are a fanatic fan of the late and great Elizabeth Taylor like I am, you will know that there have been almost 70 books depicting Elizabeth's amazing life. One memoir of course titled Elizabeth Taylor and written by the lady herself in 1964. Most editions are unsolicited and most rehash a story that has been told repeatedly. Elizabeth Taylor My Celebrity Connection is my story, and it all began with a simple letter I wrote to Elizabeth. Many letters and cards followed and in 1992, I was penned in Elizabeth's own hand, as her number 1 fan in Australia. We corresponded regularly until 10 months before her passing on 23 March 2011. Over the years I have amassed an extraordinary collection of all things Elizabeth Taylor, many items sourced from all corners of the world and some even from Elizabeth Taylor's very own home. In Elizabeth Taylor My Celebrity Connection, shoes, vintage fashion, whimsical treasures, personal effects, and letters written by the celebrity activist, help to embellish the story and lifestyle of the "Queen of Hollywood". Join me in celebrating the life of Elizabeth Taylor as I navigate through my connection with celebrity. Miss Taylor declared this book as being, " A very thoughtful and extensive volume, one that brought back so many memories and made her day so very special." If you are a fan of celebrity or a collector of Hollywood memorabilia, I hope too, that this volume brings back and keeps alive, the memories that once were and will forever be, Dame Elizabeth Taylor.
