William Wells and the Struggle for the Old Northwest
ISBN: 9780806157504 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 520 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Born to Anglo-American parents on the Appalachian frontier but captured and adopted by Miami Indians at the age of thirteen, William Wells moved between two cultures all his life. Vilified by some historians for his divided loyalties, he remains relatively unknown, though he is worthy of comparison with such frontiersmen as Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett. William Wells and the Struggle for the Old Northwest is the first biography of this man-in-the-middle. A servant of empire with deep sympathies for the people his country sought to dispossess, Wells married Chief Little...

Outerbridge Reach depicted how existential angst can lead to a longing for heroic transcendence. The clash of religions in Jerusalem drove Damascus Gate. Traditional town-gown...

Seventy Five Years in California: A History of Events and Life in California During the 1800s
ISBN: 9781633911611 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 494 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Seventy-Five Years in California spans the 19th century, offering William Heath Davis' view of California's Pastoral Period. He gives readers a unique look at the disintegration of missions, the rise of the rancheros, the American Invasion, the Gold Rush and the adoption of the territory as a state. Davis himself had an interesting personal history, having been born in Hawaii in 1822, raised in Boston, traveled a great deal by sea, and became one of the most prominent merchants in San Francisco by 1845. The California Gold Rush really was a bonanza. Between 1849 and 1855 the miners gathered...

Naked Faith
ISBN: 9781556359750 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Description: Now and then through the history of the church a great light appears, a prophet who calls the church back to its missional vocation. These reformers are lovers of God, mystics whose lives are utterly given to the divine vision. Yet as Jesus noted, a prophet is often without honor among her own people. In the case of Phoebe Palmer (1807-1874), honor was lost posthumously, for within a few decades after her death her name all but disappeared. Palmer's sanctification theology was separated from its apophatic spiritual moorings, even as her memory was lost. Throughout most of the...
