Book Synopsis Marooned in the Creeks by : J. H. O. Olowe
Download or read book Marooned in the Creeks written by J. H. O. Olowe and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Joshua Olowe earned his bachelor's degree in 1978, he took part in the compulsory National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) program in Nigeria. Along with his teaching partner, Samuel, Joshua served for one year in the Koloama District in the Niger Delta area as an English teacher. But though he set out to make a difference in the lives of members of the community, he encountered debilitating setbacks. Filled with rich detail and intense emotion, Marooned in the Creeks tells one man's story of navigating the challenges, joys, and opportunities of being a social and geographic transplant into an unfamiliar world. Olowe shares how his work within the small Ijaw community of Ukubie along the Akpoi creek offered him firsthand knowledge of the hardship and travails these people endured, and mirrored his own strategies and struggles he adopted to survive. Despite disliking his post and having no chance to relocate, Olowe decided to make the best of the situation. He formed an incredibly close bond with the place and the people, and found attitudes far different from his own. He details his confrontations with the school principal, his love affair with the intriguing Ebitonye, and the strange inner workings of the village itself. A compelling narrative, Marooned in the Creeks reveals how a single eye-opening experience can forever change our perception on life.

Book Synopsis Negotiating Freedom in the Circum-Caribbean by : Helen M. McKee
Download or read book Negotiating Freedom in the Circum-Caribbean written by Helen M. McKee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-02-05 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together Jamaican Maroons and indigenous communities into one framework – for the first time – McKee compares and contrasts how these non-white, semi-autonomous communities were ultimately reduced by Anglophone colonists. In particular, questions are asked about Maroon and Creek interaction with Anglophone communities, slave-catching, slave ownership, land conflict and dispute resolution to conclude that, while important divergences occurred, commonalities can be drawn between Maroon history and Native American history and that, therefore, we should do more to draw Maroon communities into debates of indigenous issues.

Book Synopsis The Great Ohio River Flood of 1937 by : James E. Casto
Download or read book The Great Ohio River Flood of 1937 written by James E. Casto and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2009-02-16 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the time settlers first pushed into the Ohio Valley, floods were an accepted fact of life. After each flood, people shoveled the mud from their doors and set about rebuilding their towns. In 1884, the Ohio River washed away 2,000 homes. In 1913, an even worse flood swept down the river. People labeled it the "granddaddy" of all floods. Little did they know there was worse yet to come. In 1937, raging floodwaters inundated thousands of houses, businesses, factories, and farms in a half dozen states, drove one million people from their homes, claimed nearly 400 lives, and recorded $500 million in damages. Adding to the misery was the fact that the disaster came during the depths of the Depression, when many families were already struggling. Images of America: The Great Ohio River Flood of 1937 brings together 200 vintage images that offer readers a look at one of the darkest chapters in the region's history.

Download or read book Exploring Colorado's Wild Areas written by Scott S. Warren and published by The Mountaineers Books. This book was released on 2002 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover 69 wilderness areas--including seven new ones--showcasing everything from mountains to canyons, rushing rivers to desert landscapesA comprehensive guide to Colorado's wild areas Totally updated and revised Includes 74 maps and 90 photosMuch has changed in the landscape of Colorado's wilderness designations since the first edition of this book appeared in 1992. At the newly designated Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, visitors peer into the depths of this narrow canyon that drops 2,000 feet to the Gunnison River below--and some choose to follow rugged backcountry routes down to the inner canyon. A trail in Spanish Peaks Wilderness, established in 2000, leads up one of these twin sentinels that rise above the edge of the high plains. Nestled at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and standing up to 750 feet high, the dunes of the newly enlarged Great Sand Dunes National Monument and Preserve are the tallest in the Western Hemisphere. Other recent additions to Colorado's protected lands include the Castle Peak Wilderness Study Area, Bull Gulch Wilderness Study Area, San Luis Hills Wilderness Study Area, and Demaree Canyon Wilderness Area. Colorado is one of the nation's primary adventure-travel destinations, and both visitors and locals will find this book the most all-inclusive reference available to the state's wildness areas. From the state's high peaks to its spectacular canyons and deserts, Exploring Colorado's Wild Areas provides detailed information on seasons, flora and fauna, geology, history and activities.
