Book Synopsis Sandoz Studies, Volume 1 by : Renée M. Laegreid
Download or read book Sandoz Studies, Volume 1 written by Renée M. Laegreid and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2019-07-01 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mari Sandoz, born on Mirage Flats, south of Hay Springs, Nebraska, on May 11, 1896, was the eldest daughter of Swiss immigrants. She experienced firsthand the difficulties and pleasures of the family’s remote plains existence and early on developed a strong desire to write. Her keen eye for detail combined with meticulous research enabled her to become one of the most valued authorities of her time on the history of the plains and the culture of Native Americans. Women in the Writings of Mari Sandoz is the first volume of the Sandoz Studies series, a collection of thematically grouped essays that feature writing by and about Mari Sandoz and her work. When Sandoz wrote about the women she knew and studied, she did not shy away from drawing attention to the sacrifices, hardships, and disappointments they endured to forge a life in the harsh plains environment. But she also wrote about moments of joy, friendship, and—for some—a connection to the land that encouraged them to carry on. The scholarly essays and writings of Sandoz contained in this book help place her work into broader contexts, enriching our understanding of her as an author and as a woman deeply connected to the Sandhills of Nebraska.
Book Synopsis Great Travellers, Volume 1 by : Various
Download or read book Great Travellers, Volume 1 written by Various and published by VM eBooks. This book was released on 2016-02-22 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Next to actual travel, the reading of first-class travel stories by men and women of genius is the finest aid to the broadening of views and enlargement of useful knowledge of men and the world’s ways. It is the highest form of intellectual recreation, with the advantage over fiction-reading of satisfying the wholesome desire for facts. With all our modern enthusiasm for long journeys and foreign travel, now so easy of accomplishment, we see but very little of the great world. The fact that ocean voyages are now called mere “trips” has not made us over-familiar with even our own kinsfolk in our new dependencies. Foreign peoples and lands are still strange to us. Tropic and Arctic lands are as far apart in condition as ever; Europe differs from Asia, America from Africa, as markedly as ever. Man still presents every grade of development, from the lowest savagery to the highest civilization, and our interest in the marvels of nature and art, the variety of plant and animal life, and the widely varied habits and conditions, modes of thought and action, of mankind, is in no danger of losing its zest. These considerations have guided us in our endeavor to tell the story of the world, alike of its familiar and unfamiliar localities, as displayed in the narratives of those who have seen its every part. Special interest attaches to the stories of those travellers who first gazed upon the wonders and observed the inhabitants of previously unknown lands, and whose descriptions are therefore those of discoverers. One indisputable advantage belongs to this work over the average record of travel: the reader is not tied down to the perusal of a one-man book. He has the privilege of calling at pleasure upon any one of these eminent travellers to recount his or her exploit, with the certainty of finding they are all in their happiest vein and tell their best stories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With more than 120 titles still in print, Louis L'Amour is recognized the world over as one of the most prolific and popular American authors in history.

Now this great writer—The Wall Street Journal recently compared with Jack London and Robert Louis Stevenson—will receive his due as a great storyteller.

Download or read book Trails Plowed Under written by Charles M. Russell and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1996-06-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Russell writes easily, and in the vernacular. He tells of Indians and Indian fighters, buffalo hunts, bad men, wolves, wild horses, tough hotels, drinking customs, and hard-riding cowboys. . . . [He] lived long enough in the West to acquire a vast amount of information and lore, and he has left enough from his brush to prove his place as a sound interpreter of a stirring period and a fascinating country".-New York Times. "Russell was the greatest painter who ever painted a range man, a range cow, a range horse, or a Plains Indian. He savvied the cow, the grass, the blizzard, the drought, the wolf, the young puncher in love with his own shadow, the old waddie remembering rides and thirsts of far away and long ago. He was a wonderful storyteller. . . . His subjects were warm with life, whether awake or asleep, at a particular instant, under particular conditions. Trails Plowed Under, prodigally illustrated, is a collection of yarns and ancedotes saturated with humor and humanity".-J. Frank Dobie, Guide to Life and Literature of the Southwest. Brian W. Dippie is a professor of history at the University of Victoria, British Columbia, and the author of Catlin and His Contemporaries: The Politics of Patronage (Nebraska 1990).

Book Synopsis The Best of Robert E. Howard Volume 1 by : Robert E. Howard
Download or read book The Best of Robert E. Howard Volume 1 written by Robert E. Howard and published by Del Rey. This book was released on 2007-08-14 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert E. Howard is one of the most famous and influential pulp authors of the twentieth century. Though largely known as the man who invented the sword-and-sorcery genre–and for his iconic hero Conan the Cimmerian–Howard also wrote horror tales, desert adventures, detective yarns, epic poetry, and more. This spectacular volume, gorgeously illustrated by Jim and Ruth Keegan, includes some of his best and most popular works. Inside, readers will discover (or rediscover) such gems as “The Shadow Kingdom,” featuring Kull of Atlantis and considered by many to be the first sword-and-sorcery story; “The Fightin’est Pair,” part of one of Howard’s most successful series, chronicling the travails of Steve Costigan, a merchant seaman with fists of steel and a head of wood; “The Grey God Passes,” a haunting tale about the passing of an age, told against the backdrop of Irish history and legend; “Worms of the Earth,” a brooding narrative featuring Bran Mak Morn, about which H. P. Lovecraft said, “Few readers will ever forget the hideous and compelling power of [this] macabre masterpiece”; a historical poem relating a momentous battle between Cimbri and the legions of Rome; and “Sharp’s Gun Serenade,” one of the last and funniest of the Breckinridge Elkins tales. These thrilling, eerie, compelling, swashbuckling stories and poems have been restored to their original form, presented just as the author intended. There is little doubt that after more than seven decades the voice of Robert E. Howard continues to resonate with readers around the world.

Download or read book Manchester Treasures written by C Frank and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-04-09 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When my wife Carole and I joined the Old Trails Historical Society in 2010, I was approached by a member, asking me if I could take pictures of the old houses on Manchester Road. She wanted the pictures on a CD so that she could make a presentation at one of the local schools. I agreed, and before long my wife Carole and I were traipsing up and down Manchester Road taking pictures of the old historic homes. the CD was finished, and I thought that would be the end of that. Well, it wasn't. Being an amateur historian, I began to ask if there were other historic homes that we had missed. There were! Not only homes, but springs, creeks, caves, Indian mounds, and hidden cemeteries. At the same time, Carole and I were also tasked by the Historic Society to begin an inventory of all items in the historic 1835 Bacon Log Cabin, which is located a scant block away from our house. I was given the lofty title of "Property Master of the Bacon Log Cabin," and was given the keys to that most venerable place. In going through some of the artifacts in the log cabin I discovered more interesting information about the City of Manchester. I was bitten by the history bug. I needed to know more. I noted that there had been many histories written about Manchester City and its early beginnings. When it came time to decide to write this book, I felt that it was not necessary to repeat information already available. My wife and I decided to write a picture book instead, interspersed with snippets of the area history. Again we took more pictures of homes, churches, cemeteries, parks, etc. and organized them as you see them in this book. In some cases, the pictures and short stories of people who lived in these old homes have been included. In other cases, older residents of Manchester were interviewed and some of their memoirs have also been included separately, with their permission. During these processes, we made many new friends. Please note the lack of consistency in the spelling of some names. the names are spelled here the way they were spelled in the various sources referenced. Where addresses of homes have been changed, both the new and the old addresses are shown with the old address in square brackets. from its beginnings in the 1700's, as a small settlement called Hoards town, to the current modern city of Manchester, much history has occurred. Sadly many of the old homes, many of them log cabins and log houses, have been destroyed in the name of progress. Thanks to the Old Trails Historic Society and to the many historic minded people in Manchester, enough has been preserved for our use as a tie, back to its beginnings. Many people have contributed in making Manchester a great city. the stories of a few of them are enclosed in this book. Many thanks to all true historians who contributed to, and who supported this endeavor. Frank & Carole MasottoBallwin, Missouri 63011 October 13, 2013
