DOWNLOAD EBOOKA Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year In August 1862, after suffering decades of hardship, broken treaties, and relentless encroachment on their land, the Dakota leader Little Crow reluctantly agreed that his people must go to war. After six weeks of fighting, the uprising was smashed, thousands of Indians were taken prisoner by the US army, and 303 Dakotas were sentenced to death. President Lincoln, embroiled in the most devastating period of the Civil War, personally intervened to save the lives of 265 of the condemned men, but in the end, 38 Dakota men would be hanged in the largest government-sanctioned execution in U.S. history. Writing with uncommon immediacy and insight, Scott W. Berg details these events within the larger context of the Civil War, the history of the Dakota people and the subsequent United States–Indian wars, and brings to life this overlooked but seminal moment in American history.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Stans, who served as Eisenhower's director of the Bureau of the Budget and as Nixon's secretary of commerce, has the distinction of being the last author of a balanced federal budget. Chairman of the Finance Committee for the Reelection of the President at the outbreak of the Watergate affair, he was accused of more than 100 campaign-finance violations. In this engrossing memoir, he describes a three-year ordeal of investigations, threatened indictments and a trial for breaches of the law. Cleared of all charges (after spending a million dollars in legal expenses), Stans is still regarded, unfairly he believes, as a major Watergate figure because of his longtime friendship with and support of the late Richard Nixon. In this lively memoir, he convincingly establishes that he had no knowledge of the break-in or cover-up, and he describes how he has struggled to restore his good name. Stans incidentally reveals for the first time an earlier personal crisis in which he was forced to resign as president of Western Bancorporation by the combined pressure of the Kennedy White House, the Justice Department and the CIA, as punishment for political activities in support of President Eisenhower."--Amazon.com.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKConsidered one of Sweden's greatest 20th-century writers, Vilhelm Moberg created Karl Oskar and Kristina Nilsson to portray the joys and tragedies of daily life for early Swedish pioneers in America. His consistently faithful depiction of these humble people's lives is a major strength of the Emigrant Novels. Moberg's extensive research in the papers of Swedish emigrants in archival collections, including the Minnesota Historical Society, enabled him to incorporate many details of pioneer life. First published between 1949 and 1959 in Swedish, these four books were considered a single work by Moberg, who intended that they be read as documentary novels. These editions contain introductions written by Roger McKnight, Gustavus Adolphus College, and restore Moberg's bibliography not included in earlier English editions. Book 4 portrays the Nilsson family during the turmoil of living through the era of the Civil War and Dakota Conflict and their prospering in the midst of Minnesota's growing Swedish community of the 1860s-90s. "It's important to have Moberg's Emigrant Novels available for another generation of readers."?Bruce Karstadt, American Swedish Institute.
