Sinossi

In "Two Centuries of Costume in America, Volume 1 (1620-1820)," Alice Morse Earle offers an exhaustive exploration of the evolution of American fashion, intertwining detailed illustrations with meticulous descriptions of attire from the early Colonial era to the dawn of the 19th century. Earle's literary style marries scholarly rigor with accessible prose, creating a vivid tapestry that captures not just the garments worn, but the cultural and social contexts that influenced these styles. This volume delves into the intricacies of fabric, design, and the stark variations seen across different regions and social strata, illustrating how clothing became a reflection of identity and change in a nascent nation. Alice Morse Earle, a pioneering American historian, drew upon her expansive knowledge of American life and customs, influenced by her own experiences and interests in the material culture of her surroundings. Earle'Äôs background in researching and preserving early American artifacts likely contributed to her desire to document and analyze the country'Äôs sartorial history, framing it within a broader narrative of societal development and cultural exchange that resonates throughout her work. This meticulous volume is an invaluable resource for those interested in fashion history, American studies, or cultural anthropology. Earle's insightful observations and comprehensive research provide a rich understanding of how fashion informs our perception of history, making this book a must-read for scholars and casual readers alike who wish to uncover the sartorial stories of two centuries.

  • America’s Most Notorious Frontier Massacres: The History and Legacy of Shocking Attacks between Native Americans and Settlers - cover

    America’s Most Notorious...

    From the “Trail of Tears” to Wounded Knee and Little Bighorn, the narrative of American history is incomplete without the inclusion of the Native Americans that lived on the continent before European settlers arrived in the 16th and 17th centuries. Since the first contact between natives and settlers, tribes like the Sioux, Cherokee, and Navajo have both fascinated and perplexed outsiders with their history, language, and culture.  
    	Though they are not as well known as tribes like the Sioux or Cherokee, the Creek are one of the oldest and most important Native American tribes in North America. With roots that tie them to the Ancient Moundbuilders, the Natchez were one of the most established groups in the Southeastern United States, and came to be known as one of the Five Civilized Tribes. It’s also believed that they were among the first natives encountered by Spanish explorer Hernando De Soto’s historic expedition in the mid-16th century.  
    	Like various other indigenous groups, the Natchez quickly found themselves in conflict with European powers, most notably the French, who they engaged in a series of battles with during the early 18th century. The French decimated the tribe and led to the dispersal of their dwindling numbers, but the Natchez continue to occupy popular imaginations because of several unique features that make them stand out from other groups. 
    The ongoing fighting between white settlers, militias, Army units, and Native Americans not only bled into the War of 1812 but was one of the main causes of it. Many Americans chaffed at the fact that along the Northwestern frontier, the British in Canada were supporting Indian resistance to American settlement.

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. "The Transcendentalist" is an essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson that was first published in 1841. In this work, Emerson defines and reflects on the Transcendentalist movement, a philosophical and literary movement that was influential in the United States in the 19th century. Transcendentalism emphasized the importance of individualism, intuition, and a direct connection to the divine, and rejected the materialism and conformity of contemporary society. In "The Transcendentalist," Emerson argues that Transcendentalists are people who seek to transcend the limitations of the physical world and find truth and meaning through spiritual and philosophical pursuits. He also notes that Transcendentalists embrace the power of the individual and reject the notion that authority should come from institutions or tradition. "The Transcendentalist" is considered a seminal work in American literature and is widely regarded as one of Emerson's most important works. The essay continues to be widely read and studied today as a classic expression of Transcendentalist thought and philosophy.

    Relate then Educate - The Untold...

    Compiled by two former educators, Relate, Then Educate contains the firsthand stories of sixteen seasoned educators' professional hurdles and personal moments of heartbreak and joy.  To be an educator is to be thrown into the classroom without much practical training. Young teachers can languish for years without knowing if they're "doing it right," and, despite the wealth of tactical curriculum resources available, the intangible needs of educators often go overlooked and unmet. Former educators Rick Holmes and Andrea Avey understand this perspective well; they collected the stories within Relate, Then Educate for teachers seeking experienced insight and support as they decide the trajectory of their career.  This unbiased collection of candid and approachable experiences are written to challenge, inspire, correct, and console teachers—and humans—who need direction. It features stories of unthinkable tragedy, like the tragic death of a student midyear, and rich rewards, like lifelong friendships with students. Relate, Then Educate breaks down each teacher's story into three segments: their path into education, a defining moment in their career, and an instructional best practice.
