Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1840s the United States and England were in conflict over two unsettled territories along the undefined Canadian-American border. This riveting account of the Maine and Oregon boundary treaties is brought to life masterfully by Professors Howard Jones and Donald Rakestraw. The events in this story paved the way for one of the most far-reaching developments in American history: the age of expansion. The United States gradually came to believe in manifest destiny, the irreversible expansion of the States across the continent. The country's success with England in resolving the two territorial disputes marked the dawn of this new era. Complicating the U.S.-English situation in the 1840s was a border conflict brewing with Mexico. Failure to resolve the disputes with England might have led the United States to war with two nations at once. Careful negotiations led to settlements with England instead of war. But the United States went to war with Mexico from 1846 to 1848. Prologue to Manifest Destiny offers a rare, detailed look at the tense Anglo-American relationship during the 1840s and the two agreements reached regarding the land in the Northeast and the Northwest. Presidents John Tyler and James Polk and the robust master of diplomacy, Daniel Webster, were among the American actors who played center stage in the drama, as well as Britain's Lord Ashburton, who worked closely with Webster to keep the turbulent conflict over the Northeast territory from escalating into war. This gripping frontier story will fascinate as it educates. Prologue to Manifest Destiny is perfect for courses in American history, international relations, and diplomatic history.

Book excerpt: Julia Magruder's poem "A Manifest Destiny" is an exploration of the tension between individuals and society, as well as the power of one's own destiny. Through her vivid imagery and lyrical language, Magruder conveys a sense of struggle and longing to find one's place in the world. She begins by describing the individual as a "lonely ship", navigating through the turbulent waters of life, facing the constant push and pull of society. This metaphor reflects the idea that each person is on their own journey, encountering obstacles and challenges along the way. The poem then moves on to explore how our destiny is shaped by our choices. Magruder suggests that while society can influence us, it is ultimately up to us to choose our own path. She writes that we are all "masters of our fate" and must "chart our own course". This idea of free will is further emphasized when she writes that we have the ability to "weave dreams from pain". Here, Magruder conveys the idea that even in difficult times, we are capable of creating something beautiful from our struggles. Ultimately, Magruder leaves us with a sense of hope and possibility. She encourages us to embrace our manifest destiny and take control of our lives. By doing so, she suggests that we can create a better future for ourselves and those around us. With its inspiring message, "A Manifest Destiny" serves as a reminder that we all have the power to shape our own destinies.

Book excerpt: It is a time when the first automobiles have just begun to appear in the streets, and when a glimpse of stocking is something shocking. Kadran Atwin has graduated in archaeology and is about to take part in a ÔdigÕ that could shed some light on why the continent of Eurasia failed to develop an advanced civilization of any kind. Over the past four hundred years it has been progressively occupied by colonisers from technologically superior nations in North America. The story is set in an Ôalternative historyÕ scenario that develops in a series of events strongly reminiscent of events that took place in the Ôreal worldÕ at the beginning of the Twentieth Century. Among KadranÕs colleagues is Chedry Esgera, an independently-minded woman who, unusually for the time, is also a graduate. Together they make startling discoveries, encounter revolution and war, and meet people from widely different backgrounds Ð but all very similar to people who were living in the Ôreal worldÕ a hundred years ago.
