Download or read book A Dangerous Idea written by Peter Metcalfe and published by University of Alaska Press. This book was released on 2014-11-15 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades before the marches and victories of the 1960s, a group of Alaska Natives were making civil rights history. Throughout the early twentieth century, the Alaska Native Brotherhood fought for citizenship, voting rights, and education for all Alaska Natives, securing unheard-of victories in a contentious time. Their unified work and legal prowess propelled the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, one of the biggest claim settlements in United States history. A Dangerous Idea tells an overlooked but powerful story of Alaska Natives fighting for their rights under American law and details one of the rare successes for Native Americans in their nearly two-hundred-year effort to define and protect their rights.

Download or read book Dangerous Ground written by John Suval and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-06-14 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The squatter--defined by Noah Webster as one that settles on new land without a title--had long been a fixture of America's frontier past. In the antebellum period, white squatters propelled the Jacksonian Democratic Party to dominance and the United States to the shores of the Pacific. In a bold reframing of the era's political history, John Suval explores how Squatter Democracy transformed the partisan landscape and the map of North America, hastening clashes that ultimately sundered the nation. With one eye on Washington and the other on flashpoints across the West, Dangerous Ground tracks squatters from the Mississippi Valley and cotton lands of Texas, to Oregon, Gold Rush-era California, and, finally, Bleeding Kansas. The sweeping narrative reveals how claiming western domains became stubbornly intertwined with partisan politics and fights over the extension of slavery. While previous generations of statesmen had maligned and sought to contain illegal settlers, Democrats celebrated squatters as pioneering yeomen and encouraged their land grabs through preemption laws, Indian removal, and hawkish diplomacy. As America expanded, the party's power grew. The US-Mexican War led many to ask whether these squatters were genuine yeomen or forerunners of slavery expansion. Some northern Democrats bolted to form the Free Soil Party, while southerners denounced any hindrance to slavery's spread. Faced with a fracturing party, Democratic leaders allowed territorial inhabitants to determine whether new lands would be slave or free, leading to a destabilizing transfer of authority from Congress to frontier settlers. Squatters thus morphed from agents of Manifest Destiny into foot soldiers in battles that ruptured the party and the country. Deeply researched and vividly written, Dangerous Ground illuminates the overlooked role of squatters in the United States' growth into a continent-spanning juggernaut and in the onset of the Civil War, casting crucial light on the promises and vulnerabilities of American democracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a fallen world, where bad things happen to good people, Grady McCracken is chosen to set things right... The Hankotchetejas nation has been under the power of a foul smelling, mind-numbing potion and enslaved by Charon, their evil chief, since the loss of the sacred seeds many years ago. The Great Father has promised the restoration of justice, peace, and the righting of all evils with the return of his good son, Anomon. But before good Chief Anomon can come to power and depose his evil brother, the sacred seeds must be recovered and the people in the Valley of the Chiefs must be liberated from the evil power that binds them. A mild mannered and gentle schoolteacher, Grady McCracken, is chosen by a miniature Indian chief to travel with him into the mountains of Colorado to find the seeds, free the captives, and restore the Valley of the Chiefs to its rightful owners. In their quest for the seeds, Grady McCracken and the Chief face constant perils from the Farmundos, Charon's dangerous army. In addition, Grady's quest leads him on a path of self-discovery and spiritual evolution that will forever leave him changed. As delightfully entertaining as it is thought-provoking, Grady McCracken and the Valley of the Chiefs offers a modern day allegory that readers of all ages and backgrounds can appreciate.

Book excerpt: A consummate Federation Marine in the consummate elite unit, Bret McCord was worried about a mission for the first time. Going beyond the barrier was a first and something felt different this time. When they arrived, his worries proved to be valid as it was an environment beyond description. Fighting an elusive foe armed only with primitive weapons, how could they hold off the finest fighting unit in the universe? As time passed, Bret discovered why, they had help and that help was a near divine being who resided on Dadaleon. What transpired over the course of time there went beyond anything he could have ever foreseen and as a result his life went in directions he didn't anticipate. Evolving as a man, Bret took steps caused by strange circumstances, but ones that proved fortuitous on many levels for him personally and eventually for the entire Federation. Joining the Ethereal being in a fight against arch evil in the form of its cousin and its minions, the outcome of that war threatened all life if they lost. Could there be a happy ending?

This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the time of Columbus, explorers dreamed of a water passage across the North American continent. President Thomas Jefferson shared this dream. He conceived the Corps of Discovery to travel up the Missouri River to the Rocky Mountains and westward along possible river routes to the Pacific Ocean. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark led this expedition of 1804?6. Along the way they filled hundreds of notebook pages with observations of the geography, Indian tribes, and natural history of the trans-Mississippi West. This last volume recounts the expedition's experiences as they continued their journey homeward from present-day Idaho and the party divided for separate exploration. Lewis probed the northern extent of the Louisiana Purchase on the Marias River, while Clark traveled southeast toward the Yellowstone to explore the river and make contact with local Indians. Lewis's party suffered from bad luck: they encountered grizzlies, horse thieves, and the expedition's only violent encounter with Native inhabitants, the Piegan Blackfeet. Lewis was also wounded in a hunting accident. The two parties eventually reunited below the mouth of the Yellowstone and arrived back in St. Louis to a triumphal welcome in September 1806.
