ISBN: 9781533000637 / Angielski / Miękka / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While English and Dutch explorers began settlements along the coastal areas of North America, bold Frenchmen sought to bring their civilization inland, away from the threats that other nations posed and close to the source of furs. The result was that a few intrepid Frenchmen reached The Great Lakes beginning in 1615, traveling hundreds of miles inland, while other European settlements in North America were still perched on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. This book tells the stories of the men who made the first journeys through the rivers, lakes and woods to reach the place where the fresh...

America in Chains: A History of Enslavement in North America: 1524-1868, Companion Volume to Stillbirth of a Nation
ISBN: 9781533216311 / Angielski / Miękka / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. America in Chains tracks the evolution of servitude in America and presents such uncomfortable facts as: The English rarely referred to America as the "colonies" but as the "plantations." Plantations were envisioned as places were people, not crops, were planted. The people to be planted in these places were to be the poor of the British Isles, who had been outlawed in 1572. It was a crime to be poor in Great Britain and the penalty was a life of hard labor, starvation, mutilation and beatings. For the first 100 years the plantations were staffed almost exclusively by English children,...

Memories of Childhood's Slavery Days
ISBN: 9781533277299 / Angielski / Miękka / 50 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The memory of my happy, care-free childhood days on the plantation, with my little white and black companions, is often with me. Neither master nor mistress nor neighbors had time to bestow a thought upon us, for the great Civil War was raging. That great event in American history was a matter wholly outside the realm of our childish interests. Of course we heard our elders discuss the various events of the great struggle, but it meant nothing to us.

Bison and People on the North American Great Plains: A Deep Environmental History
ISBN: 9781623494742 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The near disappearance of the American bison in the nineteenth century is commonly understood to be the result of over-hunting, capitalist greed, and all but genocidal military policy. This interpretation remains seductive because of its simplicity; there are villains and victims in this familiar cautionary tale of the American frontier. But as this volume of groundbreaking scholarship shows, the story of the bison s demise is actually quite nuanced.
