ISBN: 9780874222807 / Angielski / Miękka / 305 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. At the remarkable age of 65, Nimrod O'Kelly--Ioner, former blacksmith--made the arduous trek from Missouri along the Oregon Trail in 1845 and became one of the first to stake a claim in the lush Willamette valley. Although he made few improvements to the land, he professed that he had a wife and family back home and thus had a right to 640 acres--one full square mile--of fertile ground.

Eventually the dispute boiled over,...

Breeding Better Vermonters
ISBN: 9780874519525 / Angielski / Miękka / 253 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780875651729 / Angielski / Miękka / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Few people who know him or read his Sunday column in the "San Antonio Express-News" are neutral about Maury Maverick Jr., not only one of the twentieth century's most outspoken iconoclasts but an individualist who helped shape American constitutional history.
