Book Synopsis The Romance of Conquest, the Story of American Expansion, Through Arms and Diplomacy (Classic Reprint) by : William Elliot Griffis

This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romance of Conquest, the Story of American Expansion, Through Arms and Diplomacy When the "Free Quakers" of Philadelphia inscribed on their new meeting-house "Erected in the year of our Lord, 1783, of the Empire 8," they were not "Jingos" or "imperialists," but believers in God and in the growth of the United States of America. Among these Friends, who had drawn sword for their country, were my ancestors and kinsmen. It is not wonderful that their descendant inherits also their view. To-day there are those who read the words "empire" and "expansion" in the same light. They see in the events of the pivotal year of 1898 the Divine hand, and they hear in the new developments fresh calls to duty. On history is based surest prophecy. Those who are most familiar with the story of our country will be best fitted to comprehend intelligently the part they are called upon to play in the future. With emphasis upon the original meaning of the word "conquest," I have in this volume told the story of our national expansion and of the triumphs of American arms and diplomacy from July 4, 1776, when we began to be a corporate nation or empire, until this first year of Greater America.

In using the historic events of a heroic time as a background, and the sentiments of a heroic people as a set ting for my story, I have endeavored to make all my historical references accurate. Beyond that I have attempted nothing of the histo rian's task. I make no pretence of right to invade the domain of that superb scholarship which is just now writing our country's won der-story anew and more worthily than has ever been done before. Patriotism, and an unflinching sense of hon or - love and heroic devotion - these alone are my themes. If I have succeeded in any wor thy degree in illustrating these high virtues and in reflecting the spirit and sentiment of the people among Whom this story is laid, I have accomplished all that I set out to do.

Book Synopsis Texas, Or the Broken Link in the Chain of Family Honors by : Fannie Eoline Selph

This book was released on 2017-04-28 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Texas, or the Broken Link in the Chain of Family Honors: A Romance of the Civil War In presenting a romance under the theme, The Broken Link, with scenes laid under the cloud of the civil strife, I feel it necessary to make a brief explanation. Though the story is largely fictional, yet it contains facts as well. The Civil War has been relegated to the past sufficiently to soften the bitterness which actuated the strife, and to calm the elements which raged during the four years of storm. In this atmosphere we are enabled to look back to it through another spectrum - that of the vari-colored Romance. There is never a history without its romance But while history is manipulating the annals of nations, the quiet affairs of the individual are generally over shadowed. It is in the calm of the aftermath that the spirit of romance rises like an echo, and enjoys its season of recognition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dealer in Empire a Romance Spain was the proudest of kingdoms and America a wild field for the first-comer to sow as he would. Spaniards were the pioneers in America, but bent rather on reaping than on sowing, for it is the Spanish way to say mana na while snatching at the treasure of to-day. The English settler who came after the Span iard made little talk of to-morrow, but plowed his rocky acres with an eye fixed ahead down the centuries. That is one reason why this book is written for Americans to read, not in Spanish, but in English. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis The Romance of Steel by : Herbert N. Casson
Download or read book The Romance of Steel written by Herbert N. Casson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romance of Steel: The Story of a Thousand Millionaires This book is the first popular history of our greatest American industry. The wonderful story of steel is here told in such a way that those who have no technical knowledge of steel-making may enjoy and appreciate the miracles that have been accomplished. First, it is a story of the electric expansion of a business from bankruptcy to billions. It is an American story of self-help - of the unprivileged men who climbed from poverty to the commercial supremacy of the world. And also it is a biography of that most useful of all metals - the structural metal of modern civilisation. Now that the iron and steel business has passed into the hands of more than sixty thousand stockholders, there has come a demand for a popular book on the subject, which shall be not only picturesque, but accurate and instructive as well. Therefore, while I have written these pages after the manner of fiction, the facts have been gathered from the highest authorities. Fully nine-tenths of the material has been obtained at first hand, either from the Steel Kings themselves or from original documents. The book is, in fact, the result of a two-years' study of the American iron and steel business, made on the spot, and with the assistance of many experts. I take this opportunity to express my thanks to the following gentlemen for their courtesy and friendly co-operation: - Andrew Carnegie, H. C. Prick, John Fritz, Charles M. Schwab, Elbert H. Gary, George W. Perkins, George Gould, James M. Swank, George Lauder, John Walker, F. T. F. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Approaches to American Cultural Studies written by Antje Dallmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-20 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approaches to American Cultural Studies provides an accessible yet comprehensive overview of the diverse range of subjects encompassed within American Studies, familiarising students with the history and shape of American Studies as an academic subject as well as its key theories, methods, and concepts. Written and edited by an international team of authors based primarily in Europe, the book is divided into four thematically-organised sections. The first part delineates the evolution of American Studies over the course of the twentieth century, the second elaborates on how American Studies as a field is positioned within the wider humanities, and the third inspects and deconstructs popular tropes such as myths of the West, the self-made man, Manifest Destiny, and representations of the President of the United States. The fourth part introduces theories of society such as structuralism and deconstruction, queer and transgender theories, border and hemispheric studies, and critical race theory that are particularly influential within American Studies. This book is supplemented by a companion website offering further material for study (www.routledge.com/cw/dallmann). Specifically designed for use on courses across Europe, it is a clear and engaging introductory text for students of American culture.

Download or read book Heraclitus written by Philip Wheelwright and published by Colchis Books. This book was released on 1974 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heraclitus himself was a native of Ephesus, an Ionian city some twenty-five miles north of Miletus and inland from the sea, and he is said by Diogenes Laertius to have flourished there in the sixty-ninth Olympiad, which would be roughly equivalent to 504-500 B.C. His family was an ancient and noble one in the district, and Heraclitus inherited from them some kind of office, partly religious, partly political, the exact nature of which is not clear, but it involved among other things supervision of sacrifices. Doubtless such an office was not congenial to a man of his impatient temperament, and he resigned it in favor of a younger brother. The banishment of his friend Hermodorus by a democratic government increased a natural antagonism to the masses and confirmed him in his philosophical withdrawal. So much is virtually all that can be known about Heraclitus with reasonable probability. Diogenes Laertius’ short essay on him in Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers10 is a rather scatterbrained affair, and there is no reason to take seriously his fantastic account of the philosopher’s death by self-burial in a cow stall in a vain effort to cure an attack of dropsy. Such improbable tales were not uncommon about ancient “wise men,” and Diogenes provides more than his share of them; quite possibly their origin was aetiological in that they grew out of popular misunderstandings of something that the philosopher had taught. In the case of Heraclitus we cannot even know whether it is true that he died of dropsy; the story could easily have been a figment suggested by his remark, “It is death for souls to become water.” In temperament and character Heraclitus was said to have been gloomy, supercilious, and perverse. Diogenes calls him a hater of mankind, and says that this characteristic led him to live in the mountains, making his diet on grass and roots, a regimen which brought on his final illness. Such an account, however, is of the sort that could easily have been invented out of a general view of the philosopher’s character. At any rate, Heraclitus was certainly no lover of the masses, and his declaration, “To me one man is worth ten thousand if he is first-rate” (Fr. 84), makes it evident that he was not one to suffer fools gladly. He would have understood and approved of Nietzsche’s definition of the truly aristocratic man as one whose thoughts, words, and deeds are inwardly motivated by a “feeling of distance.”11 However, to call him a pessimist and compare him to Schopenhauer, as more than one interpreter of his writings has done, is to treat him in a misleadingly one-sided manner. Pessimism, where it is a philosophy and not just a mood, affirms the doctrine that there is more evil in the world than good, or that the evil is somehow more fundamental or more real. Heraclitus does not commit himself to so partisan a statement. His doctrine is rather that good and evil are two sides of the same reality, as are. up and down, beauty and ugliness, life and death. The wise man attempts to set his mood by looking unflinchingly at both sides of the picture, not at either the bright or the dark alone.
Download or read book Love and the Novel written by G. Paizis and published by Springer. This book was released on 1998-09-07 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The popularity of romance fiction is such that it constitutes nearly one quarter of new paperback fiction printed in the world. Its success depends on its ability to reflect and articulate the reader's aspirations for a better life and stands at the same time as a testament to her alienation. This fresh look at the romantic fiction seeks to discover the reason for its appeal by combining analysis of the poetics of the genre with a study of the real reader's intervention.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hester Blair: The Romance of a Country Girl A preface to an author's first work might, it seems to me, be deemed and impertinence. However, new authors, young or old in years, if not in judgment, have a last word to say; and, in my opinion, most improperly say it in the form of an introduction to their work. It were better, perhaps, with justice to himself and his readers, that his foreword embody an apology. What right has he to presume on the readers patience or good-nature? Most assuredly, none; and yet - and yet I have a story to tell. It is a simple tale, as life is simple, yet running through it, the veins, eddies, and undercurrents that make our lives more or less complex. Each of us knows a Hester, a John Gary or a Slack. They are of the common, everyday sort of people. I have endeavored to paint them as they are - of flesh and blood. This is a plain tale of love, of joy, of suffering. However, it may be I have failed in the telling. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
