How George Rogers Clark Won the Northwest: and Other Essays in Western History
ISBN: 9781633910416 / Angielski / Miękka / 410 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. George Rogers Clark's expedition was of immense importance to both the United States and Canada. But for him, Canada's border arguably would be much further south. His younger brother William, in partnership with Meriwether Lewis is perhaps better known for an adventure that gave Americans a continental vision. However, the winning of the Northwest can be laid at the door of George Rogers. This volume is but a sample of the prodigious work of Reuben Gold Thwaites (1853-1913), who enormously increased the collections of the Wisconsin Historical Society as its director, edited 73 volumes of...

Lifting Oregon Out of the Mud: Building the Oregon Coast Highway
ISBN: 9781505612127 / Angielski / Miękka / 114 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Oswald West, Oregon's rascally one-term governor, wrote historic legislation in 1913 that set aside Oregon's beaches as Oregon's first coast highway. By 1919, building began in earnest and moved the highway east of the beaches and punched it through four hundred miles of the most rugged and remote terrain on the continent. This breathtaking story concludes in 1936 with an array of five stunning bridges designed by Oregon's premier architect, Conde B. McCullough and resulted in creating one of the most spectacular coastal highways in the world.

Traveling Prehistoric Seas: Critical Thinking on Ancient Transoceanic Voyages
ISBN: 9781629580661 / Angielski / Twarda / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Until recently the theory that people could have traversed large expanses of ocean in prehistoric times was considered pseudoscience. But recent discoveries in places as disparate as Australia, Labrador, Crete, California, and Chile open the possibility that ancient oceans were highways, not barriers, and that ancient people possessed the means and motives to traverse them. In this brief, thought-provoking, but controversial book Alice Kehoe considers the existing evidence in her reassessment of ancient sailing. Her book-critically analyzes the growing body of evidence on prehistoric sailing...
