Paperback. Zustand: Good. John Singleton Mosby (18331916) was the Confederacy's best-known practitioner of guerrilla warfare. At heart a Unionist, he nonetheless joined the Southern cause when his homestate of Virginia seceded. He served first in the cavalry and later as commander of a partisan unit in Northern Virginia, where his operations tied up such large numbers of Federal troops that sufficient force could not be gathered to break Robert E. Lee's army till April 1865. Mosby's narrow escapes and impossible exploits (including the capture of a Union general from his bed) earned him a status as a cavalry commander equal to Stuart and Forrest, and a preeminence among the partisan leaders of history. Mosby was only thirty-one when the war ended. Rebel fully explores his long and eventful postwar career: his political battles; his close friendships with former enemies; his association with presidents from Ulysses S. Grant to Theodore Roosevelt; his service as U. S. consul in Hong Kong; and his involvement in the West's range-fencing crisis. In the process this book reveals the fierce independence and eccentric vision of one of America's most controversial, uncompromising figures.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Exceptionally well written.very highly recommended.-Midwest Book Review You're not stuck in history class any more. But you've discovered, as an adult, that you really like history. The problem is you don't like wading through thick prose. Something that might make it easier for you to read history is hearing some actual voices amid the prose, voices from the past, voices of people who were there. In Conquistador Voices, that is what you'll get. This two-volume set is about the so-called Spanish conquest of the Americas, a 500-year-old event the reverberations of which are still felt today. The structural bones of the story as told here consist of mostly eyewitness accounts-the voices. These voices belonged to the men who came with Columbus, Cort s, Pizarro, Soto. In the Cort s chapters, beneath the din of horsemen clattering over rocky passes and the jangle of infantry on the move you will also hear the faint and confused cry of the people themselves. The voice of a people being conquered and displaced forever. Finally, you'll hear the voice of Cabeza de Vaca, a man whose will to survive knew no bounds. We're fortunate to possess the remarkable testimony of the men who carried out this hemispheric invasion, with all their prejudices, conceits, cruelties, occasional sensitivity, and remarkable resilience. It nudges us toward informed opinion. What you won't find between these covers is moralizing, or at least not much of it. Because the author thinks you're capable of moralizing for yourself.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Rebel is the first complete biography of the Confederacy's best-known partisan commander, John Singleton Mosby, the 'Gray Ghost.' A practicing attorney in Virginia and at first a reluctant soldier, in 1861 Mosby took to soldiering with a vengeance, becoming one of the Confederate army's highest-profile officers, known especially for his cavalry battalion's continued and effective harassment of Union armies in northern Virginia. Although hunted after the war and regarded, in fact, as the last Confederate officer to surrender, he later became anathema to former Confederates for his willingness to forget the past and his desire to heal the nation's wounds. Appointed U.S. consul in Hong Kong, he soon initiated an anticorruption campaign that ruined careers in the Far East and Washington. Then, following a stint as a railroad attorney in California, he surfaced again as a government investigator sent by President Theodore Roosevelt to tear down cattlemen's fences on public lands in the West. Ironically, he ended his career as an attorney in the U.S. Department of Justice.…

Zustand: New. 464, col illus. 240x170mm. HB. NEW. . Heathlands in Europe reflect a long history of human activity and use. Through the ages heathlands have been of importance as (semi)agricultural areas, hunting territories and various other uses by mankind. This diversity of usage has created a cultural diversity over the whole Atlantic area of Europe, from Portugal and Spain in the south to Norway in the north and from Germany in the east to Ireland in the west. This book shows us both the diversity of use for heathlands throughout Europe and new insights into their ecology. The central theme of the book is how to fund the maintenance of these heathlands. Is their future as commonland, or do other types of land ownership, utilising the revenues generated by the heathland ecosystem, offer better opportunities? [9789050114615].…

Zustand: Gut. Zustand: Gut | Seiten: 340 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | "Exceptionally well written.very highly recommended."-Midwest Book Review Conquistador Voices will give you a modern, documentary-style look at the Spanish conquest of the Americas, from Columbus through Hernando de Soto. You will be taken from windswept Andes peaks to the sweltering coasts of southern Mexico, from lush Caribbean islands to bleak Texas deserts and mosquito-ridden Florida swamps.The story is told by the people who were there-witnesses and participants, conquerors and victims. These eyewitness accounts, most of which have been newly translated into today's English idiom, are tied together by an illuminating narrative.The Spanish conquest invites moral judgment, a response which the author has attempted to avoid, preferring to leave it to you, the reader.…
