Book excerpt: There are books written solely for enlightenment, and there are books written solely for entertainment. The reader will find Black Vignettes: Essays of African American History and Culture to be a seamless blending of both. It is a delightfully eclectic mix of people, places, events, occurrences and culturally significant topics not found in ordinary United States history books. But all that is contained herein has a substantial importance to black history and culture. Few of the essays contained in Black Vignettes are very long. The brevity of the essays and variety of topics found within these pages will engross even the most severe cases of attention deficit disorder. - P.O.W.E.R. Magazine International

Download or read book America's Yesteryears written by James A. Crutchfield and published by J. Crutchfield Publishers. This book was released on 2007-02 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award winning historical writer James A. Crutchfield chronicles obscure, yet highly important, episodes from America's past in this far-ranging volume. Arranged in chronological order by year, the vignettes portray the events that signaled change and defined our country, and they cover all aspects of our history-social life, religion, warfare, the frontier army, inventions, exploration, and more. Each episode is depicted in a brief, yet comprehensive, paragraph and is often accompanied by an illustration. Between the first entry recounting Columbus's landfall in the New World on October 12, 1492, and the last episode describing the first running of the Pony Express on April 3, 1860, are narratives of more than 450 events and 170 illustrations, all of which help the reader gain a perspective on America's storied past. The volume is literally an "almanac" of early American history.

Download or read book Illuminating History: A Retrospective of Seven Decades written by Bernard Bailyn and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The brilliance of a master historian shines through this “elegant and engaging memoir” of a lifetime’s work (Richard Aldous, Wall Street Journal). Over a remarkable career Bernard Bailyn has reshaped our understanding of the early American past. Inscribing his superb scholarship with passion and imagination honed by a commitment to rigor, Bailyn captures the particularity of the past and its broad significance in precise, elegant prose. His transformative work has ranged from a new reckoning with the ideology that powered the opposition to British authority in the American Revolution, to a sweeping account of the peopling of America, and the critical nurturing of a new field, the history of the Atlantic world. Illuminating History is the most personal of Bailyn’s works. It is in part an intellectual memoir of the significant turns in an immensely productive and influential scholarly career. It is also alive with people whose actions touched the long arc of history. Among the dramatic human stories that command our attention: a struggling Boston merchant tormented by the tensions between capitalist avarice and a constrictive Puritan piety; an ordinary shopkeeper who in a unique way feverishly condemned British authority as corrupt and unworthy of public confidence; a charismatic German Pietist who founded a cloister in the Pennsylvania wilderness famous for its strange theosophy, its spartan lifestyle, and its rich musical and artistic achievement. And the good townspeople of Petersham, whose response in 1780 to a draft Massachusetts constitution speaks directly to us through a moving insistence on individual freedoms in the face of an imposing central authority. Here is vivid history and an illuminating self-portrait from one of the most eminent historians of our time.
