Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Records and Memorials of the Speed Family The records and memorials in this volume were collected by me during the past twenty years. I was moved to begin the work by the interest I felt in the family. While a young man there were a number of households in which I was always welcome and at home. That of my father, of course, and his brother, Dr. John J. Speed; those of the four brothers in Louisville, James, Joshua, Philip and Smith Speed; also those of their sisters, Mrs. Breckinridge, Mrs. Peay, Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Adams. In all these homes I found that kindness which wins affection, and that high degree of intelligence which wins admiration. It was but natural to desire to have some published memorial of these most excellent families, and also of their immediate ancestors, Major Thomas Speed and Judge John Speed. Then appeared the striking fact that the father of these two, Captain James Speed, was one of a family of six brothers worthy of all praise, four of whom certainly, and perhaps all, having served their country in the Revolutionary war. They were sons of an honored father who was born in Virginia and died, then an old man, 1785, he being the son of James Speed, who came to this country from England. To gather all that could be discovered about these became a work of real interest. It was a work, however, which I could not prosecute with any zeal, on account of the more pressing engagements of business. Gradually, the material I have came to my hands, and it is believed to be sufficiently extensive to justify publication. The sketches of individuals are not intended to be as full as the subjects deserve, for the limits of a volume will not so admit.

This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Records and Memorials of the Speed Family It will be observed that this book contains the history of the Speed family during the entire period it has been in America - a period of two hundred years. With this past history now furnished, all who desire to do so can, from this time, preserve their own respective descent on the lines given. The plan of the book is such as to enable the reader to find what it contains even without the use of the index. Each one of the children of John Speed and Mary Taylor, his wife, is regarded as the ancestor of a separate branch, and the descendants of that branch are given connectedly before another is taken up. It is, perhaps, proper to explain that the space occupied by the Louisville family is naturally considerable, for the reasons that it is numerically large and the acquaintance of the author with all its members. The publication is solely for private circulation among the members of the familv. This fact justifies the remark that, as a general thing, the Speed people have possessed many excellent and worthy characteristics They have stood well in every community where they have lived, and, by industry and integrity, have made the name respected everywhere, so that all who bear it have a good passport and are presumed to be worthy. They are generally inde pendent and self-reliant, and depend more upon substantial qualities than upon display. Some of the family have achieved more than ordinary distinction, but ostentation is unknown. There is an evident partiality for the name shown not only in words spoken and written, but in the noticeable frequency it appears as a given name.

Download or read book Honor's Voice written by Douglas L. Wilson and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-03-30 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abraham Lincoln's remarkable emergence from the rural Midwest and his rise to the presidency have been the stuff of romance and legend. But as Douglas L. Wilson shows us in Honor's Voice, Lincoln's transformation was not one long triumphal march, but a process that was more than once seriously derailed. There were times, in his journey from storekeeper and mill operator to lawyer and member of the Illinois state legislature, when Lincoln lost his nerve and self-confidence - on at least two occasions he became so despondent as to appear suicidal - and when his acute emotional vulnerabilities were exposed. Focusing on the crucial years between 1831 and 1842, Wilson's skillful analysis of the testimonies and writings of Lincoln's contemporaries reveals the individual behind the legends. We see Lincoln as a boy: not the dutiful son studying by firelight, but the stubborn rebel determined to make something of himself. We see him as a young man: not the ascendant statesman, but the canny local politician who was renowned for his talents in wrestling and storytelling (as well as for his extensive store of off-color jokes). Wilson also reconstructs Lincoln's frequently anguished personal life: his religious skepticism, recurrent bouts of depression, and difficult relationships with women - from Ann Rutledge to Mary Owens to Mary Todd. Meticulously researched and well written, this is a fascinating book that makes us reexamine our ideas about one of the icons of American history.

Download or read book The Three-Cornered War written by Megan Kate Nelson and published by Scribner. This book was released on 2021-02-16 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in History A dramatic, riveting, and “fresh look at a region typically obscured in accounts of the Civil War. American history buffs will relish this entertaining and eye-opening portrait” (Publishers Weekly). Megan Kate Nelson “expands our understanding of how the Civil War affected Indigenous peoples and helped to shape the nation” (Library Journal, starred review), reframing the era as one of national conflict—involving not just the North and South, but also the West. Against the backdrop of this larger series of battles, Nelson introduces nine individuals: John R. Baylor, a Texas legislator who established the Confederate Territory of Arizona; Louisa Hawkins Canby, a Union Army wife who nursed Confederate soldiers back to health in Santa Fe; James Carleton, a professional soldier who engineered campaigns against Navajos and Apaches; Kit Carson, a famous frontiersman who led a regiment of volunteers against the Texans, Navajos, Kiowas, and Comanches; Juanita, a Navajo weaver who resisted Union campaigns against her people; Bill Davidson, a soldier who fought in all of the Confederacy’s major battles in New Mexico; Alonzo Ickis, an Iowa-born gold miner who fought on the side of the Union; John Clark, a friend of Abraham Lincoln’s who embraced the Republican vision for the West as New Mexico’s surveyor-general; and Mangas Coloradas, a revered Chiricahua Apache chief who worked to expand Apache territory in Arizona. As we learn how these nine charismatic individuals fought for self-determination and control of the region, we also see the importance of individual actions in the midst of a larger military conflict. Based on letters and diaries, military records and oral histories, and photographs and maps from the time, “this history of invasions, battles, and forced migration shapes the United States to this day—and has never been told so well” (Pulitzer Prize–winning author T.J. Stiles).
