Through Many Dangers, Toils and Snares: Black Leadership in Texas, 1868-1898
ISBN: 9781623494827 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Through Many Dangers, Toils and Snares," originally published in 1985, was the first book to make an in-depth examination of the cadre of African American lawmakers in Texas after the Civil War. Those few books that addressed the subject at all treated black legislators "en masse" and offered little or nothing about their individual histories. Early scholars tended to present isolated events of the violence and political deterrents inflicted upon black voters but said very little about how these obstacles affected black lawmakers.
Author Merline Pitre has departed from this traditional... "Through Many Dangers, Toils and Snares," originally published in 1985, was the first book to make an in-depth examination of the cadre of African Ame...

South Plains Army Airfield in Lubbock, Texas, was a major training base for US Army Air Force glider pilots during World War II.

Today, little remains to remind one of the feverish and important military training program that once took place on the flat, featureless South Plains of Texas. During World War II,...

The Clifton-Morenci Strike: Labor Difficulty in Arizona, 1915-1916
ISBN: 9780816535293 / Angielski / Miękka / 94 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The strike that paralyzed the mining camps of Clifton and Morenci during 1915 16 and gained nationwide attention was one of the most remarkable that ever occurred in the West. During an era when physical violence, death, and property destruction were almost accepted elements of Western labor difficulties, this walkout was peaceful. With few exceptions, law and order continually predominated. This, then, is the seldom-seen side, a positive side, to a state's labor history.
Coming at a time when western labor was purging itself of radicalism and recharting its goals, the Clifton-Morenci... The strike that paralyzed the mining camps of Clifton and Morenci during 1915 16 and gained nationwide attention was one of the most remarkable that e...

The Discovery of New Mexico by the Franciscan Monk Friar Marcos de Niza in 1539
ISBN: 9780816535675 / Angielski / Miękka / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The story of Fray Marcos and the Seven Cities of Cibola was a favorite of Adolph Bandelier (1840-1914). Bandelier's combination of methodological sophistication and control of the archival data makes the Marcos de Niza paper important, not only as a landmark in Southwestern ethnohistory, but as a work of scholarship in its own rights, with insights on Cabeza de Vaca, Marcos, and early Southwestern exploration that are still valid today. The University of Arizona Press's Century Collection employs the latest in digital technology to make previously out-of-print books from our notable...
