The DYERS of London, Boston, & Newport
ISBN: 9781500539467 / Angielski / Miękka / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. If you've read other accounts of the Dyers that have repeated the same information over and over for 350 years, you just might be blown away by what the author has learned from primary historical sources like court records, the Dyers' handwriting, the journals of their friends and enemies, natural history events, and modern evidence unavailable to the early Quaker historians. Mary Barrett Dyer gets all the ink when it comes to fame for the brilliant couple from London, who emigrated to Boston in 1635 and co-founded Portsmouth and Newport, Rhode Island in 1638 and 1639. Mary had the monster...

ISBN: 9781500834661 / Angielski / Miękka / 446 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Measured by total production, New Idria was the world's fourth largest quicksilver mine, and for a time the world's largest producer. Today it is a decrepit ghost town-population zero.

Pemmican Empire: Food, Trade, and the Last Bison Hunts in the North American Plains, 1780-1882
ISBN: 9781107044906 / Angielski / Twarda / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the British territories of the North American Great Plains, food figured as a key trading commodity after 1780, when British and Canadian fur companies purchased ever-larger quantities of bison meats and fats (pemmican) from plains hunters to support their commercial expansion across the continent.

The 430-year-old mystery of where English privateer Francis Drake landed on the Northwest Coast of America involves a case of deceit: a cover-up took place from the start and was renewed again 200 years later. Preceded only by the fleet of Magellan, first to sail around the world, Drake covered more of the globe than Magellan when he turned his ships north in the Pacific and entered a hidden sea where no Chinese junks or Russian...
