By looking at a variety of groups - Irish, German, Italian, and Chinese immigrants, primarily - and their different experiences at varying times in the city's history, this study addresses the issue of how much violence can be attributed to new groups' treatment by the host society and how much can be traced to traits found in...

The First Miss America During the Birth of the Golden State

This is the story of an actual, real life little girl, America Kelsey, who accompanied her parents and siblings on a rugged wagon trip from their home in Missouri in the 1840's to settle in California as the first Anglo family before it became a state.
That is the true part. Much of anything from there on has been somewhat fabricated, due to lack of historical substance. Her father was truly the first white man to die and be buried in what is now the Charles M. Weber Event Center in Stockton, California. All this was truly happening while California was a Department of the Mexican...

Tales of the Beartooth - Book Three: Yellowstone Burning
ISBN: 9781420828122 / Angielski / Miękka / 500 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The disastrous Yellowstone Park fires of 1988 consumed over 40% of the Park's total area - over 400,000 acres out of a total of 2.2 million. Also, fires in adjoining National Forests incinerated hundreds of thousands of additional acres. The author of "YELLOWSTONE BURNING" deplores as incredibly wrongheaded the "Let It Burn" policy of Park officials when lightning strikes ignited forests that were tinder-dry after three years of drouth. He does support, however, a policy of "Controlled Burns" under favorable weather conditions to rid the forest floors of deadfall and brush debris that pose...

Old Time Colorado Cowboy Reflections
ISBN: 9781420835724 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How much of history is lost over time because only the most exciting, or most dangerous, events were passed down through time? Most "old west history" contains accounts of Indian attacks, gunfights in the streets, and famous outlaws and lawmen. Although those events certainly occurred, it is doubtful that that is a true picture of everyday life in the early west. The real story is that of the fortitude and perseverance needed by these early pioneers just to survive. The true cowboy, although made into a hero by history and literature, only existed for about thirty of forty years, during the...
