Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 1930, Bob Brown predicted that the printed book was bound for obsolescence. The time has come, he insisted, to rid the reader of the cumbersome book. He invented a machine that would allow one to read books and any text extremely fast and in a hyper abbreviated form. He called these abbreviated texts, with em dashes replacing words: readies. He envisioned sending the condensed texts through wireless networks. The Readies, describes these eponymously named abbreviated texts and his plans for a reading machine, but since he printed only 150 copies, the volume is practically unknown outside of a small circle of scholars. With this new edition, Craig Saper hopes to introduce Bob Brown's Roving Eye Press books to a new generation of readers.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Critical facsimile edition making crucial modernist texts available for the first time since 1931 This new edition of Bob Brown's groundbreaking collection of modernist writing experiments has been out of print since 1931, when Brown's Roving Eye Press originally published it. Only a few copies exist in archives today. The contributors include major modernist writers such as Gertrude Stein, William Carlos Williams, F. T. Marinetti, Eugène Jolas and Ezra Pound, key social realists like Kay Boyle and James T. Farrell and daring queer novelists and artists including Charles Henri Ford and Sidney Hunt. Providing extensive scholarly commentary, analyses and newly discovered biographical information, this book sets the anthology in its broader cultural context. This is an essential resource for those interested in print and book history, the politics and culture of the expatriate avant-garde and the reading machine's impact on reading, writing and literacy. Craig J. Saper is Professor of Language, Literacy & Culture at UMBC in Baltimore, Maryland. Eric B. White is Senior Lecturer in American Literature at Oxford Brookes University.

Every member of this Company died, including both Custer men who signed this documentBy 1875, the U.S. government had decided?quietly but decisively?to seize the Black Hills, despite the protections guaranteed to the Lakota in the Treaty of Fort Laramie (1868). The trigger was the discovery of gold in the Black Hills that started the Black Hills Gold Rush, which followed George Armstrong Custer?s 1874 expedition there.In April 1875, Custer and Brig. General Alfred Terry began preparing for war with the Sioux. Full inspections and arms inventories were ordered. In July and August, the political point of no return was passed, when every Native leader rejected the terms. In November?December 1875, the U.S. government issued an ultimatum: All Lakota bands living outside reservations must report to agencies by January 31, 1876, or be treated as hostile. This order was logistically impossible in winter and was understood?by both sides?as a deliberate pretext for war.The Great Sioux War actually broke into open fighting on March 17, 1876 with the Battle of Powder River.In 1875, Custer was stationed at Fort Abraham Lincoln as commanding officer of the 7th Cavalry Regiment. Custer lived at the fort with his wife Elizabeth Bacon Custer, hosted social events, drilled troops, and conducted patrols across the northern Plains. In 1875, Company L was part of the routine garrison rotation at the fort?conducting drills, mounted patrols along the Missouri River region, and preparing for potential operations against Lakota and Cheyenne groups amid rising tensions on the northern Plains. When the regiment marched out of Fort Abraham Lincoln in May 1876 for the Great Sioux War, Company L went with it. On June 25, 1876, at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, George Armstrong Custer personally led a battalion of five companies of the 7th Cavalry Regiment:Company C, 7th CavalryCompany E, 7th CavalryCompany F, 7th CavalryCompany L, 7th CavalryCompany I, 7th CavalryAll five of these companies were annihilated with Custer on what is now called ?Last Stand Hill? and the surrounding ridges.Company L formed part of the southern defensive line along what is now called Calhoun Hill, where it was overwhelmed early in the final phase of the fight. Every officer and enlisted man in Company L was killed.Document Signed, 24 x 15.75 inches, Fort Abraham Lincoln, February 4, 1875, "Inventory and Inspection Report of Clothing, Camp and Garrison Equipage" for Company L, testifying that it has been inspected and reported on by "Lt. Colonel GA Custer". Signed by George Armstrong Custer and brother Thomas. Among the things listed are Crossed Sabers, camp kettles, axes, pickaxes, hatchets.The verso is signed by others involved in war planning, including Brig. General Terry. Terry was a general in the Civil War who had the confidence of U.S. Grant, and whose victory at the Battle of Fort Fisher led to his promotion to major general of volunteers in 1865. He was military commander of the Dakota Territory from 1866 to 1869, and again from 1872 to 1886. Some separation at folds repaired.The Battle of the Little Bighorn, in present-day southeastern Montana, was the most famous engagement of the Great Sioux War and one of the most devastating defeats in U.S. Army history. Lieutenant Colonel Custer fought against a massive gathering of Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho warriors led by figures such as Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse. Separating his command from the rest of the regiment, Custer was overwhelmed by superior numbers and killed along with more than 210 of his men, including his brothers Thomas Custer and Boston Custer. While the Native victory was total on the battlefield, it triggered an overwhelming military response that ultimately led to the defeat of the Lakota and Cheyenne resistance and their permanent loss of the Black Hills.
