Book Synopsis Held Captive by Indians by : Richard VanDerBeets
Download or read book Held Captive by Indians written by Richard VanDerBeets and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the early white settlers, accounts of Indian captivities and massacres became America's first literature of catharsis - a means by which a population that disapproved of fiction and play-acting could satisfy its appetite for stories about other people's misfortunes. This collection of unaltered captivity narratives, first published in 1973, remains an invaluable source of information for historians and ethnologists, providing a fascinating glimpse of a vanished era. For this edition, VanDerBeets has written a new preface discussing the proliferation of recent scholarship about captivity narratives, especially those written by women.

This book was released on 2022-05-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creating a sensation in Texas, the U.S., and even abroad, Rachel Plummer's narrative was the first narrative published in the Republic of Texas on Indian captivity by Texas Indians. The stories of those who have survived captivity by the Comanche Indians of the Texas frontier are full of harrowing interest. One such story is the captivity of Rachel Plummer, a cousin to the mother of famous Comanche Chief Quanah Parker. The capture of Rachel Plummer by Comanches and her eventual ransom is a famous episode in Texas history, and one of her fellow captives, Cynthia Ann Parker, was adopted into the tribe and became the mother of legendary Comanche chief Quanah Parker. On May 19, 1836, a large party of Native Americans, including Comanches, Kiowas, Caddos, and Wichitas attacked the inhabitants of Fort Parker where Rachel Plummer resided. Rachel Plummer (1819 -1839), the 17-year-old wife of Luther Plummer, daughter of James Parker, and cousin to Cynthia Parker, was held captive by the Comanche for two years before being ransomed by her father. Her book on her captivity, "Narrative of the Capture and Subsequent Sufferings of Mrs. Rachel Plummer in 1838," was published in 1839. During her captivity, the Indians wandered over the country, crossed the plains and, as Plummer says, went as far as the headwaters of the Arkansas, where a number of tribes of Indians in March, 1837, held a big council to get up a combined war against the Texans. She talks of being on the headwaters of the Columbia and even in Sonora. In describing a contentious run-in with one of her female captor, Plummer writes: "An enraged tiger could not have screamed with more terrific violence than she did. She got hold of a club and hit me a time or two. I took it from her, and knocked her down with it. So we had a regular fight. During the fight, we broken down one side of the house, and had got fully out into the street. I discovered the same diffidence on the part of the Indians as in the other fight. The whole of them were around us, screaming as before, and no one touched us ...." Finally, a Mexican trader ransomed her west of the Rocky Mountains and in seventeen days she arrived in Santa Fe, where she was delivered to Col. William Donoho, an American trader, who finally took her to Independence about the beginning of 1838.

Book Synopsis Unruly Waters by : Kenna Lang Archer
Download or read book Unruly Waters written by Kenna Lang Archer and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Running more than 1,200 miles from headwaters in eastern New Mexico through the middle of Texas to the Gulf of Mexico, the Brazos River has frustrated developers for nearly two centuries. This environmental history of the Brazos traces the techniques that engineers and politicians have repeatedly used to try to manage its flow. The vast majority of projects proposed or constructed in this watershed were failures, undone by the geology of the river as much as the cost of improvement. When developers erected locks, the river changed course. When they built large-scale dams, floodwaters overflowed the concrete rims. When they constructed levees, the soils collapsed. Yet lawmakers and laypeople, boosters and engineers continued to work toward improving the river and harnessing it for various uses. Through the plight of the Brazos River Archer illuminates the broader commentary on the efforts to tame this nation’s rivers as well as its historical perspectives on development and technology. The struggle to overcome nature, Archer notes, reflects a quintessentially American faith in technology.
Book Synopsis 'The Spirit of the Lord Came Upon Me' by : Lester L. Grabbe
Download or read book 'The Spirit of the Lord Came Upon Me' written by Lester L. Grabbe and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-01-11 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lester Grabbe here distills his wide body of work on the subject of prophecy. The volume considers prophecy in different cultural contexts across ancient Israel and surrounding areas. Beginning with a consideration of prophecy in the Hebrew Bible, Grabbe then looks at it as phenomenon in the ancient near east, including Mesopotamia, Egypt and the Levant. From this background in the immediate context of ancient Israel, Grabbe then widens the cultural lens to consider prophecy in more global environments, including Africa and the Americas, and recent examples of pseudo-biblical prophets such as Joseph Smith. In the final part of the book Grabbe then analyses these different prophetic types and forms, looking at the continuing traditions of prophecy alongside their ancient roots.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Established in Waco in 1968, the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum honors the iconic Texas Rangers, a service which has existed, in one form or another, since 1823. They have become legendary symbols of Texas and the American West. Thirty-one Rangers, with lives spanning more than two centuries, have been enshrined in the Hall of Fame. In The Ranger Ideal Volume 1: Texas Rangers in the Hall of Fame, 1823-1861, Darren L. Ivey presents capsule biographies of the seven inductees who served Texas before the Civil War. He begins with Stephen F. Austin, “the Father of Texas,” who laid the foundations of the Ranger service, and then covers John C. Hays, Ben McCulloch, Samuel H. Walker, William A. A. “Bigfoot” Wallace, John S. Ford, and Lawrence Sul Ross. Using primary records and reliable secondary sources, and rejecting apocryphal tales, The Ranger Ideal presents the true stories of these intrepid men who fought to tame a land with gallantry, grit, and guns. This Volume 1 is the first of a planned three-volume series covering all of the Texas Rangers inducted in the Hall of Fame and Museum in Waco, Texas.
Download or read book Brave Hearts written by Joseph Agonito and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brave Hearts: Indian Women of the Plains tells the story of Plains Indian women through a series of fascinating vignettes. They are a remarkable group of women – some famous, some obscure. Some were hunters, some were warriors and, in a rare case, one was a chief; some lived extraordinary lives, while others lived more quietly in their lodges. Some were born into traditional families and knew their place in society while others were bi-racial who struggled to find their place in a world conflicted between Indian and white. Some never knew anything but the old, nomadic way of life while others lived-on to suffer through the reservation years. Others were born on the reservation but did their best in difficult times to keep to the old ways. Some never left the reservation while others ventured out into the larger world. All, in their own way, were Plains Indian women.
