When her husband dies, Sarah Perry is left with no way to support herself and her daughter, Rebecca. Reluctantly, she takes over operation of her husband's freight-hauling business, managing to save enough money to send Rebecca east to a boarding school-- to an easier life and a future Sarah could not provide. With the boarding-school fees consuming Sarah's savings, there is no money left for trips home.

What hope is there of breaking down the enormous barriers between them?

This book was released on 2024-04-22 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ethos, culture, and climate of a school lie at the very heart of its success and have a dramatic impact on the future of its students. This exciting new book shows how through values-based, inclusive, and aspirational leadership, teachers and school leaders can support students in becoming well rounded, globally minded change-makers of the future. Based on the principle that every young person can be a leader, it offers step-by step guidance to support the development of leadership skills and shows how leadership opportunities can be made accessible to all learners. Arguing that leadership needs to be actively and inclusively taught, the book explores how young leadership models, reward systems, risk-taking, well-being strategies, and growth-mindset implementation can transform student motivation levels by creating aspiration, fulfilling dreams, and building character. Packed with practical suggestions and resources, the chapters cover: diversity and leadership establishing a strong student leadership team how to meaningfully mark significant global days making the most of tutor time student well-being fear of failure and how to overcome this building links with the local and wider community. Written by a Director of Ethos at an outstanding Trust, this is essential reading for all teachers and school leaders wanting their students to become empathetic, ambitious, values-driven, and happy young people.

Download or read book West written by David Larson and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-08-22 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2014 Peacemaker Award Finalist for Best Western Novel Sarah Jennings, a blond and pretty 17 year-old, is traveling West with her family from Pittsburgh to San Francisco in 1849. She is left behind in Independence, Missouri (the start of the Oregon Trail) because, as her father Johnathan writes in his journal on May 19, 1949, "A savage fever came upon Sarah yesterday and she slipped into darkness as we readied to depart. Doctors told us she will surely perish. And if we stay, we may fall prey to the same illness. If we linger longer, we will forgo our journey west. I have left behind sums of money for her final caring and resting. All I can do now is send word to her caretakers at each post." In 1849, over 30,000 pioneers headed West across America to California, another 20,000 by sea. These "pioneers" came in droves for the promise of gold - and from every crevice of society - farmers, blacksmiths, immigrants, teachers, thieves and soldiers, lone fortune-seekers, businessmen, and vagabond families - all unprepared and unknowing. Less than half arrived. Too many perished from starvation, disease, or at the hands of others. The remainder turned aside - broken - miles of regret crushing their hearts, their descendants forever severed from their will to discover. So begins the story of WEST: Journey Across the Plains. It's a tale of a family separated by 2,000 miles of unrelenting hardships - and it is told solely through "found" journal entries and letters. Miraculously, Sarah recovers three months later and there she begins her own journal. "With no counsel from my family and to carry on, I borrowed sums from a Madam Floret and was signed into her servitude. I have no learning of these things. I am alone and dismayed to my deepest being. By my last count, 46 men have entered my body. I did not understand such things could be done to a woman." Though 1,000 miles apart, now the journal entries from both Johnathan Jennings and Sarah Jennings are carefully woven together. Their lives, heartaches, and triumphs spill forth on the pages - with Sarah struggling through the horror of her life and the rest of her family (mother, brother Simon at 15, twin sisters Rebecca and Deborah at 9) as they plod their way West. The resounding hope of WEST is that their journals will finally be brought together, and hopefully what remains of their family.
Book Synopsis Pioneer Children On The Journey West by : Emmy E Werner
Download or read book Pioneer Children On The Journey West written by Emmy E Werner and published by Westview Press. This book was released on 1995-03-21 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incorporating primary materials in the form of diaries, letters, journals, and reminiscences that are by turns humorous and heartrending, the author tells a timeless tale of human resilience. For six months or more, the young travelers traversed two thousand miles of uncharted prairies, deserts, and mountain ranges. Some became part of makeshift families; others adopted the task of keeping younger siblings alive. They encountered strangers who risked their own lives for the youngsters and guides whose erroneous advice led to detours and desolation. The children endured excessive heat and cold and often suffered from cholera, dysentery, fever, and scurvy. They also faced thirst and starvation, cannibalism among famished members of their own parties, kidnappings, and the deaths of family members and friends.

Download or read book Journeys West written by Virginia Kerns and published by University of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2010-03 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journeys West traces journeys made during seven months of fieldwork in 1935 and 1936 by Julian Steward, a young anthropologist, and his wife, Jane. Virginia Kerns identifies the scores of Native elders whom they met throughout the Western desert, men and women previously known in print only by initials and thus largely invisible as primary sources of Steward’s classic ethnography. Besides humanizing Steward’s cultural informants—revealing them as distinct individuals and also as first-generation survivors of an ecological crisis caused by American settlement of their lands—Kerns shows how the elders worked with Steward. Each helped to construct an ethnographic portrait of life in a particular place in the high desert of the Great Basin. The elders’ memories of how they and their ancestors had lived by hunting and gathering—a sustainable way of life that endured for generations—richly illustrated what Steward termed cultural adaptation. It later became a key concept in anthropology and remains relevant today in an age of global environmental crisis. Based on meticulous research, this book draws on an impressive array of evidence—from interviews and observations to census data, correspondence, and the field journals of the Stewards. Journeys West illuminates not only the elders who were Steward’s guides but also the practice of ethnographic fieldwork: a research method that is both a journey and a distinctive way of looking, listening, and learning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Mary Rockwood Powers left her comfortable home in Wisconsin in 1846 with her doctor husband and three children, she was a reluctant emigrant. Like many women of her time, her fate lay not in her hands but in those of her husband, and she was forced to leave behind home and family for the arduous overland trek on the Oregon Trail. Shortly into their travels west, it became painfully obvious that Doctor Powers was simply not up to the task of making sure his family "Outlasted the Trail" and Mary had to step in and become the head of the household with its canvas roof and wheels--leaving behind her ideals of femininity along with her beloved possessions. Based on the dramatic events of a real family's overland crossing.
