ISBN: 9780875802770 / Angielski / Twarda / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Consisting of a rare memoir and also a diary, this title provides a glimpse into the domestic life of Russia's nobility in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. By the standards of the day, Anna Labzina was relatively well educated, and she travelled widely through the Russian Empire. Yet unlike most writers of her time, she writes primarily as a dutiful, if inwardly rebellious, daughter and wife, reflecting the onerous roles assigned to women in a male-centred society.

When Abraham Lincoln called for 300,000 volunteers to fortify Union forces in July 1862, George and Lycurgus Remley enlisted in the 22nd Iowa Infantry to serve God and country - and for them, this phrase had real meaning. When their native Virginia had become hostile to men unafraid to speak out against slavery, the Remley family had taken refuge in the Midwest. This collection of the brothers' letters to and from home sharply portrays the human costs of the Civil War. The Remley brothers saw action in an unusually wide geographic area. Their regiment fought the battles of Port Gibson and...

Land Is the Cry!: Warren Angus Ferris, Pioneer Texas Surveyor and Founder of Dallas County
ISBN: 9780876111611 / Angielski / Twarda / 247 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Land Is the Cry " is the fascinating, untold story of Warren Ferris, a New York Yankee who deserves to be remembered as the "Father of Dallas County." Except for a twist of fate, Dallas, Texas, would have been named "Warwick" by its two founders, surveyor Ferris and land speculator William P. King. Historian A. C. Greene calls Warren Ferris the most "unappreciated figure in Dallas history." But Ferris has more than regional significance, for his remarkable story encompasses three arenas: the Niagara frontier of western New York, the fur-trading country of the Rocky Mountains, and frontier...

Mistress of Manifest Destiny: A Biography of Jane McManus Storm Cazneau, 1807-1878
ISBN: 9780876111796 / Angielski / Twarda / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Jane McManus Storm Cazneau (1807-1878) was a complex person who died at sea the way she lived--at the center of a storm of controversy. Whether as Aaron Burr's mistress, land speculating in Texas, behind enemy lines during the Mexican War, filibustering for Cuba or Nicaragua, promoting Mexican revolution from a dugout in Eagle Pass, or urging free blacks to emigrate to the Dominican Republic, Cazneau seldom took the easy path. She foresaw a nation with equal rights for all in a world in which representative government was the norm rather than the exception.

Robert G. Ingersoll
ISBN: 9780879755881 / Angielski / Twarda / 426 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Robert G. Ingersoll (1833-1899) was a complex figure - a brilliant lawyer and orator who courageously advanced the concept of freethought; a magnetic extrovert whose public esteem, eagerly sought, never earned him the private favors he so generously bestowed on others.
Ingersoll was a staunch republican in the great tradition of Abraham Lincoln, and he vigorously championed such progressive causes as equal rights for blacks, women, and children; liberal divorce laws; and better wages and conditions for workers. Perhaps Ingersoll's greatest legacy derives from his daring rejection of... Robert G.
