Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) John Charles Fremont was the illegitimate child of a Virginia aristocrat and a working-class French immigrant; Jessie Benton was the daughter of the most powerful pre-Civil War U.S. senator, Thomas Hart Benton of Missouri, and, her gender notwithstanding, had been groomed as much as any young man to be president.

The massacre produced international headlines for weeks and prompted President...

Approximately 140 people were slaughtered; only 17 children under the age of eight were spared.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Laurie Brown has long been fascinated with what happens at the edge of cities.

It was only natural that Brown would turn her artistic attention to the eastern end...
