Hezekiah Butterworth

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

Crafted with the threads of historical encounters and the rich tapestry of the American frontier, 'The Log School-House on the Columbia' by Hezekiah Butterworth delves into the intersection of cultures amid the settlement of the American West. By interlacing factual pioneering narratives with the fibers of fiction, Butterworth constructs a nuanced tableau that captures the spirit and challenges of an era. The prose beckons with the poise of historical authenticity, fused with creative invention, while intricately rendering the lives of its characters, particularly Gretchen, the German orphan, her caretaker Mrs. Woods, and the visionary schoolmaster Marlowe Mann, who serves as a bridging figure between European settlers and Native American communities.

Hezekiah Butterworth, esteemed for his contributions to American literary heritage, was evidently inspired by the tales of early pioneers he interviewed, whose firsthand accounts of life in the Rockies and along the Columbia River breathe authenticity into his work. Butterworth's illustrious career as a storyteller is evidenced in his ability to weave social commentary into a rich historical context, showcasing an insightful understanding of the educational and missionary ambitions that defined the settlement era and were central to the formation of the American ethos.

This novel is a resonant recommendation for readers with an appetite for historical fiction that serves both to enlighten and entertain. 'The Log School-House on the Columbia' offers a poignant exploration of the cultural milieu of the American Settler era, enlightening the modern reader through its deliberate juxtaposition of differing worldviews. Scholars and enthusiasts of historical narratives will find Butterworth's work a compelling addition to the American literary canon, offering a window into the past that is as educational as it is enthralling.

Turning the Giant - Disrupting...

John Berra

John Berra is no stranger to turning giants. As someone who spent over three decades in the automation community, Berra knows what it’s like to confront major obstacles and leverage then to his advantage. For example, in the mid-1990s, Berra was faced with a unique challenge. The automation industry was at a crossroads, and as President of Fisher-Rosemount Systems, Berra could have played it safe and maintained business as usual. But doing so would have ensured companies like Honeywell would have gained the upper hand. Instead, Berra focused on developing a revolutionary operating system named DeltaV. And in doing so, he led Fisher-Rosemount Systems to disrupt an entire industry. Moves like this set Berra apart from his competitors. On one hand, Berra is one of the most intelligent innovators of his era and there is a reason Intech Magazine named him one of the fifty most influential industry innovators ever. That said, Berra was also incredibly practical and willing to take his share of calculated risks. Because Berra believed is disruptive innovation, he was able to turn giants others were not willing to touch.
