An ethnographic account of courtship, marriage and family life among the natives of the Trobriand Islands.
Why this book? Because last year, in the heart of the Sierras, I saw women and children chained together and marched down from their cool, healthy homes to degradation and death on the Reservation. This book is another little known 'Trail of Tears' story, but the word 'story' seems to diminish this tragedy of human suffering, at the hands of the US Government and the Republican Party 'Radical Rumps.' This is the failure of 'democracy' when it becomes majority rule, mob rule, and rule of the rich. This is the repeated horror, time and time again, of Christianity and Christian governments.
It is the earnest desire of the author of this Monitor to discover that all the Commanderies invest the beautiful, instructive and entertaining Order of the Red Cross with the interest its importance demands. The Ritual provides ample opportunity for the display of true dramatic taste, both in robing and in reading.
Lights & Shadows of The Great City : And The Great City was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and Great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath: Revelation 16:19 : 'Real' Biblical students recognize this verse and many prophecy teachers claim that, so far, New York City is the only city that fits this description in the past 2000 years. NYC is called, not just a great city, but 'THE GREAT CITY.' The City of New York is the largest and most important in America. For most historians The Great City is about 400 years old--it is older than the State of New York, older than the U.S.A. The world's attention has once again been cast upon 'America's' city since 9-11
"It is patently impossible to discuss social engineering or the automation of a society, i.e., the engineering of social automation systems (silent weapons) on a national or worldwide scale without implying extensive objectives of social control and destruction of human life, i.e. slavery and genocide."
Simon Bolivar was the liberator of many South American nations from far away rule and dictatorial tyranny. Statues to his honor dot the U.S. scene, but most U.S. Americans know very little about this great man's history and role in the Americas.
A Detailed and Accurate Account of the Most Awful Marine Disaster in History: LIKE a bolt out of a clear sky came the wireless message on Monday, April 15, 1912, that on Sunday night the great Titanic, on her maiden voyage across the Atlantic, had struck a gigantic iceberg, but that all the passengers were saved. The ship had signaled her distress and another victory was set down to wireless. Twenty-one hundred lives saved!
I was a member of the "National Council" formed in 1902 by Mr. Arthur Griffith on the occasion of the visit of the late Queen Victoria, and of the Executives of "Cumann na nGaedheal," the "Dungannon Clubs," and the "Sinn Fein League," by the fusion of which the old "Sinn Fein" organisation was formed.
Were the American people asked to name the five great historic figures of the first century of our national existence -- the illustrious men who contributed most to build and glorify the United States of America -- the answer would be, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Ulysses S. Grant.
Humorous tales and events touched by the Texian culture.
IT is our design to present a pleasing and interesting miscellany, which will serve to beguile the leisure hour, and will at the same time couple instruction with amusement. We have used but little method in the arrangement: Choosing rather to furnish the reader with a rich profusion of narratives and anecdotes, all tending to illustrate the Female Character, to display its delicacy, its sweetness, its gentle or sometimes heroic virtues, its amiable weaknesses, and strange defects-than to attempt an accurate analysis of the hardest subject man ever attempted to master, viz-WOMAN.
Seldom does the Western world get introduced or enlightened concerning Slavic history and legends. This book goes one step farther, in that it retells the legends and myths of the common working people.
Detailed and illuminating analysis of the origins and the rise of the well connected secret movement that has spread over the entire world since the times of the Jacobins. An in depth look at the socialist/communist organizations involved in the network.
Letters on the relationship of the Pyramid to measure and its kaballistic connections.
With the firm conviction that the Pyramids of Egypt were built and employed, among other purposes, for one special, main, and important purpose of the greatest utility and convenience, I find it necessary before I can establish the theory I advance, to endeavor to determine the proportions and measures of one of the principal groups. I take that of Gïzeh as being the one affording most data, and as being probably one of the most important groups.
