  The First Fleets - Colonial...

  In The First Fleets, Benjamin C. Schaffer reveals how, contrary to widespread beliefs, the American colonies had a long tradition of independent naval defense decades before the Revolution. He demonstrates that Anglo-American governments established and maintained significant provincial naval forces and that the history of provincial navies illuminates broader aspects of colonial history and the colonies' ultimate break with the British Crown. Based on meticulous research, Schaffer recounts the sea-borne threats that American colonies faced from the French, Spanish, pirates, and others. He reviews colonial governance and the relationships between colonial governments and Great Britain. Highlighting Britain's scant naval power in North America, Schaffer demonstrates how the vulnerable coastal colonies undertook their own self-defense. 
   
   
   
  Schaffer's study offers many fascinating episodes from colonial history. Establishing a navy was controversial in pacifist-minded, Quaker-dominated Pennsylvania. South Carolina deployed its scout-boat navy to pursue enslaved Africans who fled colonial capture. The first paper money issued in North America was an initiative to pay for a naval expedition against French Quebec. These and other episodes show the intimate connection between these little-known provincial navies and the major sociopolitical developments of their day.

Hackworth was described by General Creighton Abrams, who commanded all US military operations from 1968 to 1972 in Vietnam, as "the best battalion commander I ever saw in the United States Army."

  The Neanderthals - A History...

  In August 1856, mine workers were excavating the Feldhofer Grotto in the western part of Germany. The cave was one of many in a narrow gorge cut by the Düssel River through limestone outcrops. Here, workers discovered what they believed were human bones. An amateur naturalist from the nearby town of Elberfeld, Johann Carl Fuhlrott, heard about the find and decided to take a look at the remains, which were said to be very old. This discovery would ultimately reshape our understanding of human evolution, though that realization would take many decades to unfold. 
  Fuhlrott examined the bones, which were many thousands of years old. They were similar to human bones, but also notably different. Fuhlrott took the bones to a professor of anatomy at the University of Bonn, Hermann Schaaffhausen, who agreed that these appeared to be the remains of a primitive human. In 1857, the two men announced their find and identified the remains as Homo neanderthalensis (after the Neander Valley in which they had been found). Their discovery was initially greeted with indifference and even hostility. The scientific community's resistance reflected the prevailing worldview of the era, where the biblical account of human creation still held considerable sway. However, as more similar remains were found in the decades that followed, it became accepted that the Neanderthal was a hominid that predated modern humans, Homo sapiens. 
  At first, it was generally accepted that the Neanderthals were primitive, brutish beings who were superseded by more advanced humans. It is only relatively recently that we have discovered that Neanderthal people had an advanced culture, and that most people today carry traces of Neanderthal DNA! This is the fascinating and surprising story of the Neanderthals.

  Huey P Newton - A Life from...

  Hourly History

  Some might say that Huey P. Newton was destined to bridge two worlds that rarely intersect. Here was a man who could quote Plato’s Republic as easily as he could navigate the dangerous streets of Oakland. His mind was as sharp as his street instincts were keen, and this unique combination allowed him to transform simmering frustration and deep-seated anger into something far more powerful—the Black Panther Party. This revolutionary movement would shake the very foundations of American society. 
  Yet Newton’s revolutionary path was anything but smooth. His confrontations with the law became as legendary as his political activism—from his early brushes with authority to the fateful night in 1967 when a traffic stop escalated into a deadly shootout that left one police officer dead and Newton facing murder charges. The ensuing “Free Huey!” campaign transformed his legal battles into a rallying cry for the movement, even as he navigated trials, imprisonment, and eventually fled to Cuba to escape further prosecution. His legal troubles would shadow him throughout his life, culminating in the tragic irony that a man who had fought against street violence would ultimately become its victim. 
  The legacy of Huey P. Newton is complex, controversial, and undeniably powerful—much like the man himself.
