Pecos Bill: A Military Biography of William R. Shafter
ISBN: 9781585440429 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. General William R. Shafter was no gallant hero. He drank, gambled, swore, got into fights with his men. They nicknamed him for the river that was one of his targets: "Pecos Bill." He was accused of trying to start a war with Mexico and became involved in an embezzlement case. Associated with military blunders during the Spanish-American War, he has often been pictured as a fat, incompetent buffoon.
But Shafter, if coarse and abrasive, was a man who got results. A winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor, he served in the Army for forty years, from the Civil War to the Spanish-American...

The Plains Indians, 19
ISBN: 9780890968178 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. For the Plains Indians, the period from 1750 to 1890, often referred to as the traditional period, was an evolutionary time. Horses and firearms, trade goods, shifting migration patterns, disease pandemics, and other events associated with extensive European contact led to a peak of Plains Indian influence and success in the early nineteenth century. Ironically, that same European contact ultimately led to the devolution of traditional Plains Indian society, and by 1870 most Plains Indian peoples were living on reservations. In The Plains Indians Paul H. Carlson charts the evolution and...

Reenacted annually since 1934 based on Chittenden s poem, the contemporary dances attract people from... "Celebrating the celebration of the Old West"
