Book excerpt: Excerpt from For California, Vol. 4: A Monthly Publication "for Those Who Desire the Best There Is in Life" In presenting the third number of the series of For California devoted to the counties of the State, The California Promotion Committee wishes to call attention to the fact that when this series is complete the numbers devoted to it will be one of the best means of Information regarding California that can be found, as every article is written by some one who is thoroughly conversant with the conditions of the county represented. In the present number Santa Cruz County is told of by H.R. Judah, Secretary of the Santa Cruz Board of Trade; and he presents the peculiar features and advantages of the county with a ready pen that shows the reader just exactly what is to be found in that wonderful county. Del Norte is one of the little-known counties of California, owing to the fact that it is stored away in the northwestern corner of the State, where transportation facilities are inadequate. The prospects and advantages offered by this county are told by a staff writer of the magazine. Mrs. B. F. Walton, Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce of Sutter County, writes in a most interesting manner of Sutter County, and tells of its advantages in words that can but induce the prospective home-seeker to look there before deciding on a permanent settlement in the State. Lawrence Wilson, Secretary of the Board of Trade of Winters, tells what Yolo County has to offer, and he puts forward the claims of his county in a manner that will attract attention. The county is one that has had but little advertising but deserves all the praise given it. San Benito County is one that demands recognition, as it is going forward with steady progress. E. W. Tiffany, Secretary of the San Benito County Improvement Club, writes about its possibilities and presents a most tempting story for the prospective settler. Lake County, the "walled-in kingdom," is one of Californias counties which is always alluring and attractive, and Percy H.Milberry, Secretary of the Lakeport Improvement Association, tells of its unique possibilities in a manner that will well inform the reader. Napa County, that beauty-spot which lies on the north of the bay, and which is. destined to become the summer and winter home of many of San Francisco's people, is told about by S. H. Wyckoff, Secretary of the Napa Chamber of Commerce, in an entertaining and instructive manner. Inyo and Modoc are two other counties which are little known to the average Californian, and a staff writer of this magazine has attempted to tell about their advantages so that they will not remain entirely so. These counties have much of the mystery and strangeness that attaches to unknown lands, and here are fields for explorers almost as wild as the depths of Africa or the southern half of the American Continent. Taken as a whole, this issue of For California is one that will be especially interesting on account of the counties that are represented therein.

Book Synopsis An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States (10th Anniversary Edition) by : Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz
Download or read book An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States (10th Anniversary Edition) written by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller Now part of the HBO docuseries "Exterminate All the Brutes," written and directed by Raoul Peck Recipient of the American Book Award The first history of the United States told from the perspective of indigenous peoples Today in the United States, there are more than five hundred federally recognized Indigenous nations comprising nearly three million people, descendants of the fifteen million Native people who once inhabited this land. The centuries-long genocidal program of the US settler-colonial regimen has largely been omitted from history. Now, for the first time, acclaimed historian and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz offers a history of the United States told from the perspective of Indigenous peoples and reveals how Native Americans, for centuries, actively resisted expansion of the US empire. With growing support for movements such as the campaign to abolish Columbus Day and replace it with Indigenous Peoples’ Day and the Dakota Access Pipeline protest led by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States is an essential resource providing historical threads that are crucial for understanding the present. In An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States, Dunbar-Ortiz adroitly challenges the founding myth of the United States and shows how policy against the Indigenous peoples was colonialist and designed to seize the territories of the original inhabitants, displacing or eliminating them. And as Dunbar-Ortiz reveals, this policy was praised in popular culture, through writers like James Fenimore Cooper and Walt Whitman, and in the highest offices of government and the military. Shockingly, as the genocidal policy reached its zenith under President Andrew Jackson, its ruthlessness was best articulated by US Army general Thomas S. Jesup, who, in 1836, wrote of the Seminoles: “The country can be rid of them only by exterminating them.” Spanning more than four hundred years, this classic bottom-up peoples’ history radically reframes US history and explodes the silences that have haunted our national narrative. An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States is a 2015 PEN Oakland-Josephine Miles Award for Excellence in Literature.
