Sinopse

Fanny Kelly's "The Narrative of My Captivity Among the Sioux Indians" is a gripping first-person account that delves into the harrowing experience of captivity amid the social and cultural turmoil of the mid-19th century American frontier. Kelly's prose is both vivid and intimate, offering readers an unfiltered glimpse into her life as a captive. Through detailed descriptions and emotional depth, she artfully conveys the challenges she faced, the relationships she formed, and the resilience required to survive in a challenging environment, all set against the backdrop of the complex interactions between Native Americans and European settlers during a time of significant upheaval. As an author and survivor, Fanny Kelly's reflections are rooted in her own traumatic experiences. Captured by the Sioux in 1856, her narrative not only highlights the harrowing aspects of her captivity but also serves as a testament to her strength and adaptability. Kelly's background as an educated woman of her time adds a unique lens through which she articulates her observations and experiences, enriching the narrative with an exceptional perspective on both cultural exchange and conflict. This compelling narrative is highly recommended for readers interested in American history, anthropology, and personal memoirs. Kelly's insightful and poignant storytelling captivates, offering profound reflections on resilience and the human spirit that remain relevant today. Her work invites further exploration of the often-misunderstood dynamics between Native American tribes and European settlers, making it an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of this historical period.

    Fifteen leading writers explore what Gilmore Girls means to them in this delightful celebration of a contemporary TV classic. 
     
     
     
    Fast-talking, warm-hearted, and endlessly rewatchable, Gilmore Girls has bonded real-life mothers and daughters since 2000, when its iconic pilot introduced us to Lorelai, Rory, and their idyllic Connecticut town of Stars Hollow. More than twenty years later, it has become one of the most-streamed TV shows, ever. 
     
     
     
    In an anthology as intimate and quick-witted as Gilmore Girls itself, bestselling author Ann Hood invites fifteen writers to investigate their personal relationships to the show. ("It's a show? It's a lifestyle. It's a religion.") Joanna Rakoff considers how Emily Gilmore helped her understand her own mother; Sanjena Sathian sees herself—and Asian American defiance—in Lane Kim; Freya North connects with her son through the show; Francesco Sedita discovers an antidote to pandemic loneliness; Nina de Gramont offers a comic ode to the unreality of Stars Hollow. For anyone who identifies as Team Logan, Team Jess, or even Team Dean, Life's Short, Talk Fast reveals what Gilmore Girls tells us about ourselves—and why it matters.

    The Louisiana Purchase encompassed all or part of 15 current U.S. states and two Canadian provinces, including Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, parts of Minnesota that were west of the Mississippi River, most of North Dakota, nearly all of South Dakota, northeastern New Mexico, Northern Texas, the portions of Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado east of the Continental Divide, and Louisiana west of the Mississippi River, including the city of New Orleans (parts of this area were still claimed by Spain at the time of the Purchase.) In addition, the Louisiana Purchase contained small portions of land that would eventually become part of the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. The purchase, which doubled the size of the young nation, comprises around 23% of current American territory.  
    	In the aftermath of the Louisiana Purchase, the Lewis and Clark expedition was a much-heralded blow for American rights in the face of international competition, but that was only one of four expeditions authorized by Jefferson. Four years before Lewis and Clark set off, an army officer from New Jersey led two long-distance treks, one northward to the headwaters of the Mississippi River and the other to the Southwest. These were the only expeditions authorized by Jefferson while they were already en route, planned and launched by subordinates within the military. 
    	Of all the legends and folk heroes who lived in the 19th century, men such as Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett, few actually accomplished as much as Kit Carson. A frontier boy who hopped onto the Santa Fe Trail as a teen, Carson became the quintessential mountain man during the 1830s and was literally a trailblazer for John C. Fremont’s historic expeditions through the West in the 1840s. Along the way, Carson learned so many Native American dialects that he was considered nearly as proficient talking with them as he was fighting them.
