Download or read book Chief of Chiefs written by Al Kennedy and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2018-01-02 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspiring true story of one of New Orleans’s most beloved citizens, whose remarkable life spanned most of the twentieth century. From his birth in 1915, Robert Nathaniel Lee faced hardship and discrimination. But the man who would one day be known as Big Chief Robbe always found a way to do what he believed in?even if that meant using his fists to beat back bullies. When he saw the Mardi Gras Indians for the first time, he knew that he was going to be one of them, part of the long tradition of song and dance processions held in ceremonial attire that enliven Fat Tuesday year after year. Joining the Mardi Gras Indian community at only ten, he quickly became known for his stunning sewing and singing abilities. By the end of his life in 2001, he had been the Big Chief of four different tribes—the first and only person to be named “chief of chiefs” by the Mardi Gras Indian Council—given a lecture at Yale University, and become a role model for generations of New Orleans black youth. In this book, Al Kennedy, author of Big Chief Harrison and the Mardi Gras Indians, enhances the story of Chief Robbe’s life with extensive detail and interviews from their personal relationship, creating a biography that reflects the rich history and personality of New Orleans.
Book Synopsis Harry T. Burleigh by : Jean E Snyder
Download or read book Harry T. Burleigh written by Jean E Snyder and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harry T. Burleigh (1866-1949) played a leading role in American music and culture in the twentieth century. Celebrated for his arrangements of spirituals, Burleigh was also the first African American composer to create a significant body of art song. An international roster of opera and recital singers performed his works and praised them as among the best of their time. Jean E. Snyder traces Burleigh's life from his Pennsylvania childhood through his fifty-year tenure as soloist at St. George's Episcopal Church in Manhattan. As a composer, Burleigh's pioneering work preserved and transformed the African American spiritual; as a music editor, he facilitated the work of other black composers; as a role model, vocal coach, and mentor, he profoundly influenced American song; and in private life he was friends with Antonín Dvořák, Marian Anderson, Will Marion Cook, and other America luminaries. Snyder provides rich historical, social, and political contexts that explore Burleigh's professional and personal life within an era complicated by changes in race relations, class expectations, and musical tastes.

Download or read book The Western written by David Lusted and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-13 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Western introduces the novice to the pleasures and the meanings of the Western film, shares the excitement of the genre with the fan, addresses the suspicions of the cynic and develops the knowledge of the student. The Western is about the changing times of the Western, and about how it has been understood in film criticism. Until the 1980s, more Westerns were made than any other type of film. For fifty of those years, the genre was central to Hollywood's popularity and profitability. The Western explores the reasons for its success and its latter-day decline among film-makers and audiences alike. Part I charts the history of the Western film and its role in film studies. Part II traces the origins of the Western in nineteenth-century America, and in its literary, theatrical and visual imagining. This sets the scene to explore the many evolving forms in successive chapters on early silent Westerns, the series Western, the epic, the romance, the dystopian, the elegiac and, finally, the revisionist Western. The Western concludes with an extensive bibliography, filmography and select further reading. Over 200 Westerns are discussed, among them close accounts of classics such as Duel in the Sun, The Wild Bunch and Unforgiven, formative titles like John Ford's epic The Iron Horse, and early cowboy star William S. Hart's The Silent One together with less familiar titles that deserve wider recognition, including Comanche Station, Pursued and Ulzana's Raid.

Download or read book Indian Chief written by Rex Maxon and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-03-25 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chief, first appeared in Dell Comics Four Color issue #290 in August, 1950. Four Color comics was a vehicle that Dell used to pilot potential new titles. Each issue was dedicated to a character, most of these were already licensed properties and comparatively few original characters debuted in its pages. If the issue, or series of issues, was a success then it may well be spun off into its own title. The Chief, who was one of the rare original characters proved popular and was granted his own title starting with issue #2 in April 1951 and then to add to the confusion the title was renamed Indian Chief for issue #3 in July 1951. The Chief was that creation of writer Gaylord Du Bois, who during his long career was a prolific author. Du Bois is credited with well over 3000 comic book stories and strips in addition to publishing children's novels. He specialized in outdoor adventure stories, in particular westerns and animal stories. During his long career Gaylord Du Bois worked on such titles as: The Lone Ranger, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Tarzan, National Velvet and Lassie. This wonderful book contains stories from three complete issues.
