Book excerpt: Winner of the High Plains Book Award | Best Book of the Year - Outdoor Writers Association of America “A brilliant rendering of what 'the open space of democracy' must be if we are to survive its present state of erosion.” –Terry Tempest Williams The untold and “energetic” history of the extraordinary couple who rescued national parks from McCarthyism—and inspired a future of conservation (Wall Street Journal) In late-1940s America, few writers commanded attention like Bernard DeVoto. Alongside his brilliant wife and editor, Avis, DeVoto was a firebrand of American liberty, free speech, and perhaps our greatest national treasure: public lands. But when a corrupt band of lawmakers, led by Senator Pat McCarran, sought to quietly cede millions of acres of national parks and other western lands to logging, mining, and private industry, the DeVotos entered the fight of their lives. Bernard and Avis built a broad grassroots coalition to sound the alarm—from Julia and Paul Child to Ansel Adams, Arthur Schlesinger Jr., Alfred Knopf, Adlai Stevenson, and Wallace Stegner—while the very pillars of American democracy, embodied in free and public access to Western lands, hung in the balance. Their dramatic crusade would earn them censorship and blacklisting by Joe McCarthy, J. Edgar Hoover, and Roy Cohn, and it even cost Bernard his life. In This America of Ours, award-winning journalist Nate Schweber uncovers the forgotten story of a progressive alliance that altered the course of twentieth-century history and saved American wilderness—and our country’s most fundamental ideals—from ruin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2005 — Best Book Translation Prize – New England Council of Latin American Studies Gabriela Mistral and Victoria Ocampo were the two most influential and respected women writers of twentieth-century Latin America. Mistral, a plain, self-educated Chilean woman of the mountains who was a poet, journalist, and educator, became Latin America's first Nobel Laureate in 1945. Ocampo, a stunning Argentine woman of wealth, wrote hundreds of essays and founded the first-rate literary journal Sur. Though of very different backgrounds, their deep commitment to what they felt was "their" America forged a unique intellectual and emotional bond between them. This collection of the previously unpublished correspondence between Mistral and Ocampo reveals the private side of two very public women. In these letters (as well as in essays that are included in an appendix), we see what Mistral and Ocampo thought about each other and about the intellectual and political atmosphere of their time (including the Spanish Civil War, World War II, and the dictatorships of Latin America) and particularly how they negotiated the complex issues of identity, nationality, and gender within their wide-ranging cultural connections to both the Americas and Europe.

Book Synopsis This Country of Ours by : Henrietta Marshall
Download or read book This Country of Ours written by Henrietta Marshall and published by . This book was released on 2016-10-10 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the United States. At once story and history, this accurate, painstaking and alluring book is an inspiration to youth to cherish those ideals we have attained and are now fighting to preserve. "Mr. Marshall has written a long-needed history story of our own country. Americans are so frequently reminded their country is still in the making that they easily believe it is without a background vivid with the color and romance of adventure in a new land. Yet two-thirds of this book is devoted to thrilling stories of explorers and pioneers in Virginia, New England, the middle and southern colonies and regions traversed by the French in America, and to stories of the struggle for liberty. The remainder relates in briefer form the story of the United States under the constitution, brought down to the time of the great war. The pleasing story side of the history of our country minus the tiresome influence of dates, politics and facts will enliven many an hour for young Continent readers who like true stories." -The Continent "The book appears to be in the main historically accurate." -Springfield Republican "American history told in story form for boys and girls. Begins with the coming of the Vikings and ends with entrance of United States into the war." -Publishers Weekly "These are days when children should be reading most carefully the history of their own country. American children particularly should be studying most thoughtfully the grand traditions of the United States. From 1776 onward there is the glorious story of liberty and freedom - the development of democracy and the advancement of good government. In fact, there has been no time in the history of our own country when children, and grown-ups as well for that matter, should more seriously take account of their heritage - should realize through what travail their forefathers passed and this country should be free and permanently free. That such a study and review be rendered interesting and alluring - that history be made instructive yet romantic - this is the task that H. E. Marshall has once again successfully accomplished in 'This Country of Ours' - an accurate, painstaking, fascinating book that is at once story and history - that becomes an inspiration to youth to cherish those ideals we have attained and to see to it that they are preserved that their children may read of the glorious achievements of the children of these days." -The Publishers' Trade List Annual
