The French Revolution (Vol1-3) - Complete Edition: The Origins of Contemporary France

Hippolyte Taine

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

Hippolyte Taine's "The French Revolution" is a profound and meticulous analysis of one of history's most significant upheavals, intricately examining the socio-cultural and political factors that fueled this tumultuous period. Written in a clear yet erudite style, Taine employs a narrative that blends empirical observation with philosophical inquiry, capturing the complexity of revolutionary fervor and its pervasive impact on French society. The three-volume work serves not only as a historical recounting but also as a critique of the ideological underpinnings of the revolution, embodying the intellectual currents of the 19th century that sought to understand historical movements through a lens of determinism and empiricism. Taine, a prominent figure in the development of 19th-century historiography, imbibed influences from French positivism and the prevailing currents of elitism in political thought. His extensive education and experience in various academic fields, including philosophy and literature, provided him with a multifaceted perspective that he deftly applied to the examination of the French Revolution. His intent was not merely to narrate events but to delve into the psychological and social motivations driving the revolutionaries, reflecting his belief in the interconnectedness of culture and history. Readers seeking a deep and nuanced understanding of the French Revolution will find Taine's work indispensable. With its rich insights and scholarly rigor, "The French Revolution" offers valuable lessons on the complexities of human society and the often tumultuous path toward political change, making it a timeless study for scholars, students, and anyone intrigued by the forces that shape our world.

Colorado Frontiersmen - Forts...

Linda Wommack

Early Icons and Landmarks As western migration came to the Colorado frontier, forts were established to protect the settlers. These forts were intertwined with the lives of the frontiersmen. Scout Thomas Tate Tobin oversaw the workers who built the adobe fortress known as Fort Garland. Here, Tobin delivered the heads of the murderous Espinosas gang to Colonel Sam Tappan. Fort Sedgwick, originally known as Camp Rankin, was attacked by the Cheyenne Dog soldiers, including George Bent. Fort Lyon, an expanded fortress of William Bent's third fort, became the staging point for Colonel John M. Chivington's march to Sand Creek where peaceful Cheyenne were murdered. Later, Christopher "Kit" Carson died in the fort's chapel. Legendary Jim Beckwourth was associated with both Fort Vasquez and Fort Pueblo. Author Linda Wommack revisits the glory and the mistakes of the frontiersmen who defined Colorado and the forts that dotted the wild landscape.

American Sheep - A Cultural History

Brett Bannor

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.
