Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This heartfelt memoir captures the joys and hardships of a boyhood shaped by love, labor, and the unyielding land. Childhood isn't always easy. With two older sisters at home-spoiling him one moment and teasing him the next-Robert learns to navigate the joys and sorrows of growing up. His mother's words, 'Big boys don't cry,' echo in his ears as he strives to be as strong and resilient as his hardworking father. Caught between childhood tenderness and the expectation to be 'tough like Dad.' His days were filled with simple pleasures: chasing barn cats, raising a bottle calf, and dreaming of becoming a cowboy. That dream came true, if only briefly, when he joined a cattle roundup, riding tall on a horse he could finally call his own. This deeply personal memoir paints a vivid picture of a bygone era, where the spirit of the American farm family shine through every challenge. Big Boys Don't Cry is more than just a coming-of-age story-it's a testament to the unbreakable bond of family and the relentless pursuit of a dream, no matter the odds. The first in a duology, Big Boys Don't Cry has a sequel which traces the rise and fall of the community that shaped his life-from hopeful settlement to forgotten ghost town.

From the Preface: "This study is presented for the purpose of clarifying and adding to the analyses which began in 1939. The results of earlier work were published in 1942. At this time the researches were somewhat hampered by the lack of precedent as to method. Some progress was made, but obviously, and perforce, much was left undone. Therefore, when a nearby deep excavation in the Back Bay region was opened for the purpose of constructing a building for the John Hancock Life Insurance Company, we seized the opportunity to continue the work. Here we have the pleasure presenting a considerable quantity of new data." Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 4 lbs 3 oz. Category: Archaeology; Geology; Books; Science & Technology.

A collection of rare albumen portraits from the studio of Robert Phillips (d. 1882), the official photographer to two successive viceroys of India. They are made in carte-de-visite format, likely for the sake of convenience, but very much reflect the Western ethnographic gaze. Through such photographs, taken a decade after Sikkim became a de facto British protectorate, Europeans could hold in their hands knowledge of these subjects of suzerainty. Phillips's proximity to British India's political establishment is clearly advertised on the verso of each card, with text and decoration proclaiming his current appointment as the official photographer to Lord Northbrook (viceroy between 1872 and 1876), as well as his past work in the service of Northbrook's predecessor, Lord Mayo. Portrait photography became the staple output of European commercial photographers in India in the second half of the 19th century, with Darjeeling serving as home to the studios of several leading practitioners including Phillips and his contemporary John Doyle. Few details of his life survive, making the present collection a particularly valuable record of his contributions to the history of photography in India and its connections to the British imperial project. 6 photographs in carte-de-visite format (105 x 63 mm, image size 94 x 62 mm). Mounted on photographer's studio backing. Fading concomitant with age, minor crease to one photograph and small marginal blemish to another, faint traces of manuscript on verso of five photographs with the words "Lepcha", "Bhooteah", and "Princess". A very good set.
