Synopsis

In "Archaic England," Harold Bayley offers a profound exploration of England's early history, tracing the intricate tapestry of its ancient cultures and traditions. With meticulous research and a narrative style that combines eloquence with scholarly rigor, Bayley delves into a range of subjects, from prehistoric artifacts to the customs that shaped the medieval landscape. His examination of archaeology, folklore, and linguistics not only contextualizes England's past but also reflects the broader literary currents of the early 20th century, when historical inquiry was increasingly interdisciplinary, challenging conventional narratives of national identity. Harold Bayley, a noted antiquarian and historian, was profoundly influenced by the rich cultural heritage of England. His extensive travels across the English countryside and his passion for uncovering the stories behind ancient artifacts cultivated his desire to illuminate the past for contemporary readers. Bayley's academic background in the humanities, coupled with his affinity for folklore, equipped him with a unique perspective to craft a work that significantly contributes to the understanding of archaic England and its impact on modern society. Engaging and enlightening, "Archaic England" is a must-read for history enthusiasts and scholars alike. Bayley's ability to weave together narratives of ordinary people and monumental events creates a vivid portrait of a bygone era. Readers seeking a deeper appreciation for the foundations upon which contemporary England stands will find this work both informative and inspiring.

    A look at the major events of the twentieth century through the eyes of the man who witnessed it all: celebrated BBC foreign correspondent Charles Wheeler. This audiobook is narrated by his daughter, Shirin Wheeler, and features original audio from Charles' broadcasting days. Charles Wheeler, the BBC's longest-serving foreign correspondent, was one of Britain's greatest news reporters. For more than four decades, he reported for radio and television from most of the world's trouble spots. Present at many of the key episodes of the twentieth century, he had - as a BBC manager noted after the shooting of George Wallace, Presidential candidate and Governor of Alabama, on 15 May 1972, 'a knack of being in the right place at the right time'.  It was typical of Charles that he ran towards the sound of the gunshot while the crowd was running in the opposite direction.Wheeler's investigative skill and sense of judgement made him one of the most authoritative reporters of his generation. But what was it like to have been witness to the events that shaped our modern world? In this book - part memoir, part history, part reflection - his daughter, Shirin Wheeler, examines her father's journalistic legacy and brings her personal knowledge to bear on the project. She will tell the story of her father: a patient listener and forensic interrogator who was driven by curiosity and passion to report and expose injustice, and above all to give a voice to people ignored or unheard by many.

    More than a quarter of a million Americans crossed the continental United States between 1840 and 1870, going west in one of the greatest migrations of modern times. The frontiersmen have become an integral part of our history and folklore, but the Westering experiences of American women are equally central to an accurate picture of what life was like on the frontier. 
     
     
     
    Through the diaries, letters, and reminiscences of women who participated in this migration, Women's Diaries of the Westward Journey gives us primary source material on the lives of these women, who kept campfires burning with buffalo chips and dried weeds, gave birth to and cared for children along primitive and dangerous roads, drove teams of oxen, picked berries, milked cows, and cooked meals in the middle of a wilderness that was a far cry from the homes they had left back east. Still (and often under the disapproving eyes of their husbands) they found time to write brave letters home or to jot a few weary lines at night into the diaries that continue to enthrall us. 
     
     
     
    In her new foreword, Professor Mary Clearman Blew explores the enduring fascination with this subject among both historians and the general public, and places Schlissel's groundbreaking work into an intriguing historical and cultural context.
