Sinopse

In "Following the Guidon," Elizabeth Bacon Custer delves into her life as the wife of General George Armstrong Custer during the Indian Wars of the late 19th century. This memoir, rich with personal anecdotes and vivid descriptions, paints a complex portrait of military life and the challenges faced by women on the frontier. Custer employs a first-person narrative style that is both intimate and engaging, creating a blend of historical context and personal reflection. As she navigates themes of loyalty, courage, and patriotism, the reader is transported into a world of tumultuous change, underscored by a lyrical prose that encapsulates the trials and tribulations experienced during this transformative era in American history. Elizabeth Bacon Custer, born into a prominent New York family, was instilled with a sense of adventure and a commitment to her husband's legacy. Her experiences accompanying Custer on military campaigns provided her with a unique perspective on the socio-political climate of her time, sparking her desire to document the interplay between gender roles and military leadership. This memoir is not solely an account of events but also reflects her profound emotional journey through love and loss. "Following the Guidon" is an essential read for anyone interested in American history, military narratives, and the often-overlooked perspectives of women in wartime. Custer's eloquent storytelling invites readers to explore the complexities of her life while revealing broader truths about a nation at war. This memoir not only honors her husband's legacy but also stands as a testament to the resilience of those who lived on the periphery of history.

Were they benevolent guides or malevolent manipulators, and what will the answer mean for our understanding of the nature of reality?Was the Anunnaki's wisdom transmitted to early civilizations, then preserved and passed down through secret societies and occult practices?Were psychedelics, shamanic practices, and altered states of consciousness used to communicate with the Anunnaki and other entities? Are they still?

    Know when to show your hand… and when to hedge your bets. Special Delivery, Book 2. Randy Jensen can’t stand to just sit by and watch as a mysterious man throws money away on the roulette wheel, especially since Randy’s got his own bet going as to the reason this guy is making every play like it’s his last day on earth. The man’s dark desperation hits Randy right in the gut. Half of him warns that getting involved is a sucker’s bet, and the other half scrambles for a reason—any reason—to save the man’s soul. Ethan Ellison has no idea what he’s going to do with himself once his last dollar is gone—until Randy whirls into his life with a heart-stealing smile and a poker player’s gaze that sees too much. Randy draws Ethan into a series of wagers that leads to a scorching kiss by midnight, but he isn’t the only one with an interest in Ethan’s vulnerability. Soon they’re both taking risks that not only play fast and loose with the law, but with the biggest prize of all: their hearts. This book has been previously published and has been revised from its original release. Warning: This story contains high-stakes poker, gangsters with a weakness for kittens, foursomes, and kinky consensual sex.

    American Sheep - A Cultural History

    Why did Thomas Jefferson write that he would be happy if all dogs went extinct? What economic opportunity did attorney John Lord Hayes envision for the newly emancipated during Reconstruction? What American workers were mocked by Theodore Roosevelt as "morose, melancholy men"? What problems with revenue collection did Congressman James Beauchamp Clark mention when proposing an income tax? Why did Harley O. Gable of Armour & Company recommend that his meat-packing business manufacture violin strings? 
     
     
     
    The answers to all these questions involve sheep. From the colonial era through the mid-twentieth century, America's flocks played a key role in the nation's development. Furthermore, much consternation centered around the sheep the United States lacked, so that dependency on foreign wool became a full-blown crisis in wartime. But more than just providers of wool, sheep were valued for their meat, for their byproducts after slaughter, and even for their efficiency at lawn maintenance. 
     
     
     
    Brett Bannor explains how sheep have impacted the broader growth and development of the United States. The history of America's sheep encompasses topics that touch on many cornerstones of the American experience, such as enslavement, warfare, western expansion, industrialization, taxation, feminism, conservation, and labor relations, among others.
