Book excerpt: Red River Mission – The Story of a People and Their Church is a graphic novel that relates remarkable historic events concerning the Catholic Church in Western Canada. This story is tightly interwoven, like a voyageur’s sash, with significant events in the history of Western Canada, thanks to the Church’s involvement since 1818 in the social, political and cultural aspects of a nascent society. In this book, Manitoba’s history comes alive: the fur trade, the voyageurs, the bison hunt on the Prairies, the Battle of Seven Oaks, the Battle of Grand Coteau, the saga of the Métis and First Nations, the founding of the Province of Manitoba, the story of Louis Riel. This fascinating historical chronicle is related in a series of true anecdotes, captured through the lens of the ninth art, illustrating the colourful history of Western Canada during the eras of bishops Provencher and Taché, the first apostles of the Catholic Church in the West, whose contributions have significantly impacted Canada’s present environment.

This book was released on 2016-11-09 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from John West and His Red River Mission This is the story of john West simply and briefly told. I had to blaze the path for myself and span the chasms, for strange to say no one has thought it worth his while to tramp this way before me. Perhaps if I had known how mislead ing are the references to this worthy man, and how scanty the information which may be had concerning him, I, too, might have refrained from making the venture, and so have missed some hours of keen pleasure. One should set himself in' such matters to secure historical accuracy first of all: this is a special obligation on those who write of things Christian. A wrong statement once admitted tends to strengthen and perpetuate itself. I have tried hard to avoid this, but there are many little points which could not be cleared up this side of the water, and a trip to England was impossible. I shall welcome therefore any corrections which the publication of this Sketch may elicit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Red River Campaign by : Ludwell H. Johnson
Download or read book Red River Campaign written by Ludwell H. Johnson and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2019-12-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1958. Johnson tells the story of the Red River Campaign, which took place in Louisiana and Arkansas in the spring of 1864. In response to the demands of Union Free-Soil interests in Texas, and the need of New England textile manufacturers for cotton, an expedition was undertaken to open the way to Texas. General Nathaniel Banks conducted a combined military and naval expedition up the Red River in a campaign that lasted only from March 23 to May 20, 1864, but was one of the most destructive of the Civil War. The campaign ended in Banks's defeat at the Battle of Sabine Crossroads. This book illustrates how military operations during the Civil War were often intimately interwoven with political, economic, and ideological factors, which frequently determined the time and place of a Union offensive. The author describes the desires and opinions of the public, the press, and Lincoln's administration regarding an invasion of Texas, as well as the motivation of the officers themselves, such as Banks's aspiration for the 1864 presidential nomination. Johnson relates vividly the various battles of the expedition and the problems posed by mustering undisciplined troops, by having to procure supplies in poor country with insufficient supply lines, and by contending with bad weather and rough terrain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lieutenant General Philip H. Sheridan, in the summer of 1874, sent two of his Division of the Missouri departments against the Southern Plains Indians. Large numbers of the Cheyenne, Comanche, and Kiowa tribes fled their Indian Territory reservations that summer and headed for the sanctuary of the Staked Plains and the Texas panhandle. In what became known as The Red River War of 1874, the Departments of the Missouri and Texas attacked and pursued the Indians for many months throughout the fall and winter of 1874 and 1875 until finally the remaining fugitive Indians returned to the reservations and surrendered. In what would be the largest US Army campaign against the Indians after the Civil War, Lieutenant General Sheridan and his subordinate commanders effectively planned and executed simultaneous operations which definitively ended Southern Plains Indian resistance to white expansion. This study looks at the role of the army along the frontier after the Civil War, and examines why and how the army was used against the Indians during the Red River War. It examines the planning and execution of the campaign and specifically looks at modern doctrinal concepts and if there is evidence the concepts were employed during that planning and execution. Through research of credible secondary source material and study of personal accounts of the campaigns planning and execution, this study demonstrates substantial evidence that the commanders recognized certain aspects of what are now termed operational art and mission command.

Book Synopsis From Mission to Diocese by : Richard Allan Willie
Download or read book From Mission to Diocese written by Richard Allan Willie and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the years from its inception in 1820 to its absorption within the diocesan structure of the Anglican Church in 1849, the experience of the Anglican Red River Mission featured a number of salient historical developments. The circumstances and events surrounding this particular Mission's passage from mission outpost to diocese are the primary focus of this study. In identifying a point at which a drift towards diocesan status began, the year 1838 is especially useful. It marked an important turning point in the Mission's affairs. Prior to that date, the prevailing theme of activity was the expansion of the Mission's numbers through the development of satisfactory working relationships between the missionary and his parishioners. Although maintaining these relationships remained important after 1838, a new goal emerged to become the dominant theme in the Mission. The future security of the Anglican Mission in Red River and in the North West was the major concern of the Anglican mission staff after 1838. Perceiving manpower, competitive and obstructionist threats to the continuation of the Mission, they sought to preserve, to defend and to secure their interests. In time, the missionaries would also come to recognize that the establishment of a bishopric was an essential step if their ultimate hopes for greater security were to be realized. Therefore, when the decision to establish the diocese of Rupert's Land was made in 1849, the action was applauded in Red River. Having prepared the circumstances in the Settlement in which the establishment of a bishopric would prove feasible, the missionaries welcomed the stability, the freedom from interference, and the guarantees that the bishopric promised to bring. The fresh sense of direction and the reorganization which coincided with the first Bishop assuming office was in fact the denouement in the quest for security which had begun a little over a decade before.
