Book excerpt: Today the forests have fallen; its gloomy inhabitants, gradually rejected by the civilization that persecutes them without truce or rest, have fled step by step before it; they have gone in search of safer retreats in the distance, taking their parents' bones with them lest they be unearthed and desecrated by the ruthless share of the white plow, which carves its long and productive furrow over their former homelands. hunt. Is this continuous, incessant clearing of the American continent an evil? Not by the way; on the contrary, progress, which marches by leaps and bounds and tends to transform the soil of the New World within a century, deserves all our sympathies. Nevertheless, we cannot help feeling a feeling of painful sympathy for this unfortunate race brutally outlawed, pitilessly hemmed in on all sides, diminishing day by day and fatally doomed to disappear very soon from that land, whose immense territory, four centuries ago at the most, covered with its innumerable masses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Galveston Bay, Republic of Texas . . .Caleb Landers and his associates embark on a trading voyage to New York and London aboard their sailing ship Atlantic. A Spanish sea captain and his eight men are booked as passengers. Captain Arredondo has urgent business in Spain, so he asks to charter the Atlantic, but his request is denied.Bored and heavily in debt, Arredondo accepted an assignment to capture and return three rebellious teenagers to Spain. They had run away to Texas to avoid being forced into arranged marriages with rich, elderly Spanish aristocrats.As the Atlantic rounds the tip of Florida, Arredondo and his men take Caleb, his business associates, and the Atlantic's Captain and First Mate captive and then take command of the ship. They change course and head for Spain. When water and food supplies run low, they are forced to stop in the Azores Islands where the Atlantic becomes becalmed.Four ships are sighted. Through his spyglass, Arredondo sees that they are well-manned, sweep-driven ships with cannons. The black skull-and-crossbones flag is hoisted. Pirates! The Atlantic is trapped, unable to move as the pirate ships close in. Arredondo fears the worst, but has no idea that Muslim pirates are not his biggest problem.As the battle with the pirates ensues, Caleb and his fellow prisoners escape. They confront the “Spanish pirates” aboard the Atlantic. Arredondo, his men, and the Atlantic's First Mate are killed. Caleb, his associates, and the Atlantic's crew retake the ship. Now they must escape from the pirates, re-provision the ship, and sail to New York. Caleb tells the crew, “We're going to fight as hard as we can to win our freedom and we'll kill as many of these pirate bastards as we must to get away!”

This book was released on 2016-03-04 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of the antebellum frontier in Texas, from the Red River to El Paso, a raw and primitive country punctuated by chaos, lawlessness, and violence. During this time, the federal government and the State of Texas often worked at cross-purposes, their confused and contradictory policies leaving settlers on their own to deal with vigilantes, lynchings, raiding American Indians, and Anglo-American outlaws. Before the Civil War, the Texas frontier was a sectional transition zone where southern ideology clashed with western perspectives and where diverse cultures with differing worldviews collided. This is also the tale of the Butterfield Overland Mail, which carried passengers and mail west from St. Louis to San Francisco through Texas. While it operated, the transcontinental mail line intersected and influenced much of the region's frontier history. Through meticulous research, including visits to all the sites he describes, Glen Sample Ely uncovers the fascinating story of the Butterfield Overland Mail in Texas. Until the U.S. Army and Butterfield built West Texas’s infrastructure, the region’s primitive transportation network hampered its development. As Ely shows, the Overland Mail Company and the army jump-started growth, serving together as both the economic engine and the advance agent for European American settlement. Used by soldiers, emigrants, freighters, and stagecoaches, the Overland Mail Road was the nineteenth-century equivalent of the modern interstate highway system, stimulating passenger traffic, commercial freighting, and business. Although most of the action takes place within the Lone Star State, this is in many respects an American tale. The same concerns that challenged frontier residents confronted citizens across the country. Written in an engaging style that transports readers to the rowdy frontier and the bustle of the overland road, The Texas Frontier and the Butterfield Overland Mail offers a rare view of Texas’s antebellum past.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book publishes Martin Legassick's influential doctoral thesis on the preindustrial South African frontier zone of Transorangia. The impressive formation of the Griqua states in the first half of the nineteenth century outside the borders of the Cape Colony and their relations with Sotho-Tswana polities, frontiersmen, missionaries and the British administration of the Cape take centre stage in the analysis. The Griqua, of mixed settler and indigenous descent, secured hegemony in a frontier of complex partnerships and power struggles. The author's subsequent critique of the "frontier tradition" in South African historiography drew on the insights he had gained in writing this dissertation. It served to initiate the debate about the importance of the precolonial frontier situation in South Africa for the establishment of ideas of race, the development of racial prejudice and, implicitly, the creation of segregationist and apartheid systems. Today, the constructed histories of "Griqua" and other categories of indigeneity have re emerged in South Africa as influential tools of political mobilisation and claims on resources.
