Описание: The Five (later Six) Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy were central to the story of the white colonization of the American Northeast. The European fur trade transformed their world, and the struggles between English and French colonists forced the tribes to take sides during the Beaver Wars as well as the French and Indian Wars (1689-1763), whichincluded King William's War, Queen Anne's War, King George's War, and finally ended with the French and Indian War of 1754. Sir William Johnson's efforts in the Mohawk Valley ensured that the Iroquois Nations were allies of the British crown; and the loyalty of his kinsman Joseph Brant (Thayendanegea) during the American Revolution forced the Mohawks into Canadian exile. This richly illustrated book introduces Iroquois history, social organization, religion and material culture."

The promise of opportunity drew twenty-seven-year-old Illinois schoolteacher William Winlock Miller west to the future Washington Territory in 1850. Like so many other Oregon Trail emigrants Miller arrived cash-poor and ambitious, but unlike most he fulfilled his grandest ambitions. By the time of his death in 1876, Miller had amassed one of the largest private fortunes in the territory and had used it creatively in developing the region’s assets, leaving a significant mark on the territory’s political and economic history.
Appointed Surveyor of Customs at the newly created Port of Nisqually in 1851, Miller was the first federal official north of the Columbia River. Two years later he helped organize the new territory‘s Democratic Party and quickly became a political and financial confidant of governor Isaac Stevens. His involvement in the Indian conflict in 1855–56, a term in the territorial legislature, and his bankrolling of key politicians made him the territory’s most effective political networker. His role as a “hip-pocket banker” in a region without established banks made him a powerful financial broker and a major player in territorial affairs.
But in his pursuit of success Miller compromised another ambition he carried west from Illinois. He postponed marriage and family until only a few years before his death and agonized about relationships with his family in Illinois. His experience reminds us that the pioneer settlement era was a period of social dislocation and that public economic and political success could mask personal disappointment.
Lang’s biography takes readers into the heart of Washington territorial politics, where alliances often hinged more on mutual economic interest than political principles and nearly all agreed that government should encourage ambitious and energetic men. In this world, Lang argues, Miller succeeded because he parlayed his talents in camaraderie politics and sharp-pencil business affairs with an unabashed mining of governmental opportunities. William Lang’s account of William Winlock Miller and the first quarter century of Washington’s history offers a new view of the pioneer era, emphasizing that the West was developed in large measure by men like Miller who manipulated government and its resources to their own and the region’s advantage.
Whether you're a Conservative, Liberal, Libertarian, or Independent, this ground-breaking book is a must-read! Thanks to the ongoing efforts of progressives, the stunning facts about the relationship between conservatism and confederation have been all but lost, hidden beneath an avalanche of misinformation and disinformation created by those who don't want you to know the truth.
Were you aware, for instance, that the United States of America began as a confederacy in 1781, that this was the preferred form of government of the Conservative Founding Fathers, that there were ten Confederate presidents of the U.S. before George Washington, and that the U.S. was literally known as "the Confederate States of America" by both Americans and foreigners well into the 1800s? Did you know that the Southern Confederacy of 1861 was created, not to destroy the Union as pro-North partisans claim, but rather to continue the Founders' original Confederate States of America, and that this is why the South gave itself this same name?
In Confederacy 101: Amazing Facts You Never Knew About America's Oldest Political Tradition, award-winning scholar Colonel Lochlainn Seabrook gives the reader a brief but jam-packed crash course on the history of confederation. Profusely illustrated, thoroughly researched, and clearly written, this enlightening work contains 84 little known, little discussed facts about America's many confederacies, dating from ancient times into the present.
You'll learn why the Conservative American Founders chose to confederate the original 13 colonies, why Liberals immediately set out to undermine the first Confederate States of America, why small government Conservative Jefferson Davis and the traditional South tried to resuscitate it in 1861, and why big government Liberal Abraham Lincoln and the progressive North went to war in an attempt to crush it. For academics Col. Seabrook has provided an index, extensive notes, and a comprehensive bibliography.
Discover for yourself why the old Confederacy stills burns brightly in the hearts of millions of Conservative Southerners, as well as lovers of liberty around the world. Read this explosive book, the first and only one of its kind, and share it with your family, friends, and coworkers. It's time to bring a halt to the Left's gradual demolition of the U.S. Constitution and reinstate the confederate ideals intended by the Founding Generation. This book will help lead the way! Available in paperback and hardcover.

Описание: Leonidas Polk was one of the more notable, yet controversial, generals of the US Civil War. Recognising his indispensable familiarity with the Mississippi Valley, Confederate president Jefferson Davis commissioned his elevation to a high military position regardless of his lack of prior combat experience.
Most Civil War books focus only on its male participants, but award-winning Southern historian Colonel Lochlainn Seabrook covers both genders. Having written extensively on the masculine side of the conflict, his positive, uplifting, inspiring, and educational book on Confederate females, unique in American literature, examines the feminine view of the War.
Entitled Women in Gray: A Tribute to the Ladies Who Supported the Southern Confederacy, this pictorial tour de force will evoke the gamut of human emotion, from laughter and tears to awe and outrage, as the reader pours over some 600 photos and illustrations of Victorian Confederate women, most from the South, but many from the North and West as well. Along with this visual feast - which aids in preserving our country's wonderful Confederate history - are included female-oriented reminiscences, stories, speeches, reports, poems, and obituaries regarding the Great War and the Southern Confederacy, covering the period from 1860 to 1918. Read in their own words the experiences, feelings, and views of the women who lived through both the War and Reconstruction, as well as those of their daughters and granddaughters, and discover the suppressed facts about Lincoln's War, the Confederacy, and the Union for yourself.
Women in Gray is perfect for Civil War museum stores and gift shops, historic homes, or any tourist hot spot connected to the War or American history. Makes a great personal gift as well. For the serious Civil War buff, historian, and scholar the book includes endnotes, a bibliography, and an index. This one-of-a-kind book is available in paperback and hardcover.

Описание: An incredible heroine of the Confederacy There are several accounts told through the ages, and concerning several conflicts, of women who went to war for the cause they espoused and who not only performed extraordinary feats of daring and bravery, but acted disguised and undetected in the roles of men. The history of the American Civil War offers several examples where the women concerned came from both sides of the conflict and all are incredible. Several of these dauntless Amazons have left posterity riveting accounts of their experiences, but among them all this book, written by the Cuban born Loreta Janeta Velazquez, is widely regarded not only as an extraordinary narrative among those where all are extraordinary, but also as an account of a woman's wartime experiences that has virtually no equal in history. This was an exceptional woman by any standards and her story will inform, astonish and entertain. Indeed, it has long been the subject of disputed veracity in its entirety, but modern historians have confirmed much of its authenticity. If it does contain a few 'tall stories' it will not be exceptional among memoirs irrespective of the gender of the author. Loreta enlisted for the South in 1861 as a regular soldier and, of course, as a man, under the name of Lieutenant Harry Buford. She fought at First Bull Run, Balls Bluff, Fort Donelson and at Shiloh. This remarkable woman then gave up uniform to travel behind the Union lines, there working as a spy, gathering intelligence and undertaking other dangerous and subversive activities on behalf of the Confederacy. This is an indispensable book for all those interested in outstanding women of action. Available in softcover and hardcover with dustjacket.
