Book Synopsis Frances Slocum the Lost Sister of Wyoming by : John Franklin Meginness
Download or read book Frances Slocum the Lost Sister of Wyoming written by John Franklin Meginness and published by . This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life among the Indians Young Frances Slocum was one of a family of peaceful Quakers from the Wyoming Valley, but latterly living in Lenape, Pennsylvania when, in 1778, aged just five years old, she was abducted by a raiding party of Miami Indians and carried away into captivity. She became Maconaquah-the Little Bear-and she was destined to spend the rest of her life living as an Indian. It was nearly sixty years before her brothers finally located her on an Indian Reservation near Peru, Indiana and by that time she had been so totally integrated into tribal life, including having been married twice giving birth to four children, that a return to life as a 'white' American woman was impossible; she lived out her life in Indiana dying at the age of 75 years. The fascinating story of 'the lost sister' is another iconic tale of the struggles of women in the emergent American nation and makes riveting reading. Available in softcover and hardcover with dustjacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Slocum family of Northeastern Pennsylvania are the best of the white settlers, peace-loving Quakers who believe that the Indians hold the Light of God inside. It is from this good-hearted family that Frances is abducted during the Revolutionary war. As the child's terror subsides, she is slowly drawn into the sacred work and beliefs of her adoptive mother and of all the women of these Eastern tribes. Frances becomes Maconakwa, the Little Bear Woman of the Miami Indians. Then, long after the Indians are beaten and their last hope, Tecumseh, is killed, the Slocums hear word of their long-lost daughter and head out to Indiana to meet their beloved Frances. But for Maconakwa, it is a moment of truth, the test of whether her heart is truly a red one.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Frances Slocum: The Lost Sister of Wyoming It is with a feeling of great reluctance that I commence this sad tale of woe and sorrow which befell an ancestor of my mother in Revolutionary times. My pen is not that of a ready writer, and in the making of books, of which Holy Writ tells us "there is no end," I have until now been guiltless. My only apology is that so many of my mother's family have gone to the great beyond. The youngest daughter of our grandfather, who, in her girlhood, visited the "lost sister," has recently passed away, and the last tie is broken connecting us with those who personally knew and appreciated the long-lost Frances. I find myself almost alone among those who have heard her story from our grandfather. Several accounts have been written of the abduction and captivity of Frances Slocum, by different historians of Wyoming, as a history of our valley would not be complete without the twice-told tale of this sad tragedy.

Book Synopsis The Cult of Thomas Becket by : Kay Brainerd Slocum
Download or read book The Cult of Thomas Becket written by Kay Brainerd Slocum and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 29 December, 1170, Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, was brutally murdered in his own cathedral. News of the event was rapidly disseminated throughout Europe, generating a widespread cult which endured until the reign of Henry VIII in the sixteenth century, and engendering a fascination which has lasted until the present day. The Cult of Thomas Becket: History and Historiography through Eight Centuries contributes to the lengthy debate surrounding the saint by providing a historiographical analysis of the major themes in Becket scholarship, tracing the development of Becket studies from the writings of the twelfth-century biographers to those of scholars of the twenty-first century. The book offers a thorough commentary and analysis which demonstrates how the Canterbury martyr was viewed by writers of previous generations as well as our own, showing how they were influenced by the intellectual trends and political concerns of their eras, and indicating how perceptions of Thomas Becket have changed over time. In addition, several chapters are devoted a discussion of artworks in various media devoted to the saint, as well as liturgies and sermons composed in his honor. Combining a wide historical scope with detailed textual analysis, this book will be of great interest to scholars of medieval religious history, art history, liturgy, sanctity and hagiography.

Download or read book Justice Scalia written by Brian G. Slocum and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-03-06 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Justice Antonin Scalia (1936–2016) was the single most important figure in the emergence of the “new originalist” interpretation of the US Constitution, which sought to anchor the court’s interpretation of the Constitution to the ordinary meaning of the words at the time of drafting. For Scalia, the meaning of constitutional provisions and statutes was rigidly fixed by their original meanings with little concern for extratextual considerations. While some lauded his uncompromising principles, others argued that such a rigid view of the Constitution both denies and attempts to limit the discretion of judges in ways that damage and distort our system of law. In this edited collection, leading scholars from law, political science, philosophy, rhetoric, and linguistics look at the ways Scalia framed and stated his arguments. Focusing on rhetorical strategies rather than the logic or validity of Scalia’s legal arguments, the contributors collectively reveal that Scalia enacted his rigidly conservative vision of the law through his rhetorical framing.
