Book excerpt: Six years have passed since Quinton Stone Jackson transitioned back to pure energy and those years have not been easy for the Jackson family. Quinton's numerous visits from the other side brought about the powerful epiphany of knowing there truly is no death, yet this divine knowledge is tempered with the sad reality that he isn't here with us in a physical sense. "Quinton's Legacy" shares more of the divine dichotomy as it details numerous mystical experiences the author has had along his journey, as well as stories shared by others of visitations from their deceased loved ones. This divine knowledge is uplifting, yet as in life, it is only part of the story. The author and his family share their personal struggles with losing beloved Quinton and give a broadened perspective on life. Join the Jackson's on their journey.
Book Synopsis Amelia Stone Quinton and the Women's National Indian Association by : Valerie Sherer Mathes
Download or read book Amelia Stone Quinton and the Women's National Indian Association written by Valerie Sherer Mathes and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2022-03-17 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first full account of Amelia Stone Quinton (1833–1926) and the organization she cofounded, the Women’s National Indian Association (WNIA), offers a nuanced insight into the intersection of gender, race, religion, and politics in our shared history. Author Valerie Sherer Mathes shows how Quinton, like Helen Hunt Jackson, was a true force for reform and progress who was nonetheless constrained by the assimilationist convictions of her time. The WNIA, which Quinton cofounded with Mary Lucinda Bonney in 1879, was organized expressly to press for a “more just, protective, and fostering Indian policy,” but also to promote the assimilation of the Indian through Christianization and “civilization.” Charismatic and indefatigable, Quinton garnered support for the WNIA’s work by creating strong working relationships with leaders of the main reform groups, successive commissioners of Indian affairs, secretaries of the interior, and prominent congressmen. The WNIA’s powerful network of friends formed a hybrid organization: religious in its missionary society origins but also political, using its powers to petition and actively address public opinion. Mathes follows the organization as it evolved from its initial focus on evangelizing Indian women—and promoting Victorian society’s ideals of “true womanhood”—through its return to its missionary roots, establishing over sixty missionary stations, supporting physicians and teachers, and building houses, chapels, schools, and hospitals. With reference to Quinton’s voluminous writings—including her letters, speeches, and newspaper articles—as well as to WNIA literature, Mathes draws a complex picture of an organization that at times ignored traditional Indian practices and denied individual agency, even as it provided dispossessed and impoverished people with health care and adequate housing. And at the center of this picture we find Quinton, a woman and reformer of her time.

Book Synopsis Loss, Survive, Thrive by : Meryl Hershey Beck
Download or read book Loss, Survive, Thrive written by Meryl Hershey Beck and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one is prepared for the loss of a child. No one. It feels completely unnatural for children to predecease their parents. Although it is not widely known, each year there are over 135,000 under 40-year-old deaths in the U.S. alone. And, according to one study, 19% of parents outlive their children—often carrying the weight of horrendous grief to their own graves. “Isolated and alone” is how parents often describe the grief process. Well-meaning friends and family members usually rush to their side… in the beginning. Once the floral arrangements have wilted, and the dinners from caring friends diminish, there isn’t really much that can be said to bring comfort to a suffering parent, especially if those friends haven’t experienced it themselves. Unfortunately, when these caring friends do bring up the loss, quite often they say the wrong things. Loss, Survive, Thrive offers a lifeline of hope. Each chapter is an inspirational story written by a parent who also experienced the agony of losing a child, reclaimed his/her vitality, and is now living a fulfilling life. Every story is authentic and heartfelt, designed to uplift and inspire. The collective authors reach out through the pages to virtually hold hands with those who are suffering. We, the contributors, have all been there. We know their pain, and we know about survival. And now, through our stories, we offer comfort and support in helping them get through the toughest time of their lives. Bereaved parents share an unspeakable bond. And Loss, Survive, Thrive imparts insight from what’s likely the only voices that grieving parents can hear—others who have walked in their shoes. This book is a giant step toward healing the grieving heart.
Book Synopsis Charles Ludlam Lives! by : Sean Edgecomb
Download or read book Charles Ludlam Lives! written by Sean Edgecomb and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2017-06-15 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Playwright, actor and director Charles Ludlam (1943–1987) helped to galvanize the Ridiculous style of theater in New York City starting in the 1960s. Decades after his death, his place in the chronicle of American theater has remained constant, but his influence has changed. Although his Ridiculous Theatrical Company shut its doors, the Ludlamesque Ridiculous has continued to thrive and remain a groundbreaking genre, maintaining its relevance and potency by metamorphosing along with changes in the LGBTQ community. Author Sean F. Edgecomb focuses on the neo-Ridiculous artists Charles Busch, Bradford Louryk, and Taylor Mac to trace the connections between Ludlam’s legacy and their performances, using alternative queer models such as kinetic kinship, lateral historiography, and a new approach to camp. Charles Ludlam Lives! demonstrates that the queer legacy of Ludlam is one of distinct transformation—one where artists can reject faithful interpretations in order to move in new interpretive directions.

Download or read book Helen Hunt Jackson and Her Indian Reform Legacy written by Valerie Sherer Mathes and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Helen Hunt Jackson and Her Indian Reform Legacy is a detailed account of the last six years of Jackson's life (1879-1885), when she struggled to promote the rights of American Indians displaced and dispossessed by the U.S. government. Valerie Sherer Mathes places Jackson's work within the larger nineteenth-century Indian rights movement and details her crusade of traveling, writing, and lobbying government officials. Jackson's efforts culminated in the publication of A Century of Dishonor, an indictment of the government's Indian policy, and the novel Ramona, a sympathetic portrayal of the plight of California's Mission Indians. Her influence was felt immediately in the actions of subsequent reform workers in the Women's National Indian Association, the Indian Rights Association, and the Lake Mohonk Conference."--Pub. desc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about our early family life. But the story is much more. It is about life itself the life experiences that all of us share. "A Legacy for the Eight of Us" begins with a look back at some of our ancestors, next describes Daddy and Mama's early lives and continues with their marriage in 1925. It then focuses on the early life of their family my seven siblings and myself -- concentrating on our life during the 1930s and 40s. This life took place in another era on a farm in central Illinois. You will read vivid details of that life. You will share in our familys interactions, our heritage, our faith, our love of the land; but you also will share in our challenges and shortcomings.

It can be beneficial for each of us to discover our own individual legacies. From the memories captured in these pages, I hope you discover more about our familys legacy.

Book Synopsis The Women's National Indian Association by : Valerie Sherer Mathes
Download or read book The Women's National Indian Association written by Valerie Sherer Mathes and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Women’s National Indian Association, formed in response to the chronic conflict and corruption that plagued relations between American Indians and the U.S. government, has been all but forgotten since it was disbanded in 1951. Mathes’s edited volume, the first book to address the history of the WNIA, comprises essays by eight authors on the work of this important reform group. The WNIA was formed in 1879 in reaction to the prospect of opening Oklahoma Indian Territory to white settlement. A powerful network of upper- and middle-class friends and associates, the group soon expanded its mission beyond prayer and philanthropy as the women participated in political protest and organized successful petition drives that focused on securing civil and political rights for American Indians. In addition to discussing the association’s history, the contributors to this book evaluate its legacies, both in the lives of Indian families and in the evolution of federal Indian policy. Their work reveals the complicated regional variations in reform and the complex nature of Anglo women’s relationships with indigenous people.

Book Synopsis The Edwardian Detective by : Professor Joseph A Kestner
Download or read book The Edwardian Detective written by Professor Joseph A Kestner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 1999 & examines the range of detective literature produced between 1901 and 1915 in Britain, during the reign of Edward VII and the early reign of George V. The book assesses the literature as cultural history, with a focus on issues such as legal reform, marital reform, surveillance, Germanophobia, masculinity/femininity, the "best-seller", the arms race, international diplomacy and the concept of "popular" literature. The work also addresses specific issues related to the relationship of law to literature, such as: the law in literature; the law as literature, the role of literature in surveillance and policing; the interpretation of legal issues by literature; the degree to which literature describes and interprets law; the description of legal processes in detective literature; and the connections between detective literature and cultural practices and transitions.
