DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs the Civil War rages through the South, two men take fate into their own hands as fortune hunters, venturing into Mexico where the sacred Bells of El Diablo, forged of pure gold, are said to be buried… The son of a wealthy plantation owner, Confederate Lieutenant James Dunn is young, brash, and a fierce fighter. But during a guerilla mission in the north Georgia mountains, he learns first-hand how horrific and destructive the war really is. Having lost his taste for bloodshed after a brutal act on a night-cloaked bridge, he goes AWOL…and he isn’t alone. Crosseye Reeves, a former sharecropper on the Dunn plantation, was there to witness James’ moment of horror. And he’s had his own bellyful of war. Together, the men make for Denver, where a tale of treasure in Mexico gives them a new destination…perhaps even a new life.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWith the rise of nationalism, and with it the nation-state in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, so arose new polemical issues. As the Spanish Empire expanded in the sixteenth century, theologians, jurists, artists and politicians commented on the morality and legitimacy of the imperial enterprise. With the increase in power of successive Spanish sovereigns from the Catholic Monarchs to Philip II (1556–98), followed by the decadence of the state through the reign of Charles II (1665–1700), political participants and observers alike put their thoughts on paper for mass dissemination. The study of epic poetry, poetry, drama, novels, rhetoric, imperial administrative documents and religion, reveals a plethora of means by which these people conveyed thoughts and opinions, often negatively critical, concerning Spain’s monarchs, their imperial policies, the Catholic Church, the role of the nobility in government, and societal limitations. Providing innovative literary interpretations and revealing newly-discovered archival material, experts from US and UK universities have contributed original scholarly studies to this volume which delve deeper than academia has thus far into the operations of imperial Spain and the reactions of the people of the time. Studying works by the likes of Alonso de Ercilla, Juan de la Cueva, Miguel de Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Francisco de Quevedo, and Calderón de la Barca, among others, On Wolves and Sheep explores the various methods used in the Spanish Golden Age to voice political opinions and ideas.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThough thousands of African slaves escaped or were freed from southern plantations in the United States during the 1860s, very little has been investigated, studied, or discussed about what happened to these new African American United States citizens who had to live out their existence on the North American continent. Since none of the former slaves were provided transportation back to their African homeland, every former slave or former African-American Civil War soldier had a story to tell about how the rest of their life was spent in North America. Many former African American slaves who fought in the civil War were placed in the 9th or 10th Cavalry Regiments that were organized and sent to patrol the Arizona territory after the end of the Civil War were issued horses, rifles, and pistols and learned to use them well. Jacob Savage was a member of a slave family that escaped from a Mississippi plantation before the beginning of the United States Civil War and escaped to Western Canada with the help of the underground railroad where he and his brothers and sister were raised just north of the Montana border of the United States and south of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Range. You will learn how Jacob lived among the American Indian, found a wild stallion, a wolf, and a gold claim in the Sawtooth and Wind River Mountains of the early American West, then journeyed back to his boyhood Canadian home.
