Sinopsis

In "On the Kentucky Frontier," James Otis vividly chronicles the tumultuous interactions between settlers and Native Americans in 18th-century Kentucky. Through a blend of historical narrative and adventure, Otis employs a straightforward, engaging prose style that captures the reader's imagination while remaining accessible. Set against the backdrop of the frontier's rugged landscapes, the book reflects the complexities of colonial expansion, underlining themes of survival, conflict, and the struggle for identity in a rapidly changing world. Drawing on primary sources and contemporary accounts, Otis crafts a compelling tableau of life on the frontier, offering readers a nuanced perspective on this pivotal period in American history. James Otis was a prolific author known for his commitment to American history and literature, particularly aimed at younger audiences. His own adventures and experiences in various historical contexts fueled his desire to write books that not only entertained but also informed. Living during a time of significant national identity development, Otis'Äôs insights into frontier life were shaped by the socio-political climate of his time, particularly the conflict between settlers and indigenous peoples. This book will captivate readers interested in early American history, educators seeking engaging materials for students, and anyone longing for tales of bravery and resilience. "On the Kentucky Frontier" is not merely a recount of historical facts but a poignant exploration of the human spirit and the harsh realities of pioneer life.

When novels became a thing around the seventeenth century, it was all thrilling. It wasn't possible for readers to say, “This is unoriginal, this has been done before, this is a good or bad novel.” Every novel was an innovation. As time progressed, a framework for the conventional novel emerged: a linear narrative, stories about people growing up or falling apart, compelling characters, and definite conclusions that provide emotional satisfaction. 
In How to Read Novels Like a Professor (2008), Thomas C. Foster dives deep into each of these elements, using his own set of laws for the novel to help readers increase their understanding. He backs up his explanations with a wealth of vivid literary examples that will make you want to read every novel he mentions.

    Displaced - A Holocaust Memoir...

    Displaced is Linda Schwab’s Holocaust memoir, a retelling of her experience surviving 18 months in a man-made cave, another year as an exile in Poland and Germany, and three years as a refugee in a displaced persons camp. Just six years old when a band of Nazi soldiers arrived in her tiny shtetl in Myadel, Poland, Linda observed atrocities no child ever needs to witness.With her parents and two brothers, during the summer of 1942, Linda was forcibly relocated into a ghetto where most of the Jewish men were led to the nearby forest and killed in a pogrom. After the massacre, Linda escaped with her family into the Ponar Forest, but only after evading Polish nationals and Nazis that patrolled Poland's countryside. Deep in the woods, Linda’s family lived in a cave. They survived brutal winters, eluded partisan fighters that might force Linda’s father to leave the family, and remained out of sight from Nazis and Polish police, who at one point, came only feet from their dugout.Written with historian Todd M. Mealy during a time when Holocaust deniers aim to rehabilitate the Nazi ideology and as roughly 400,000 survivors remain with us, Displaced presents Schwab’s singular voice. Her narrative will help maintain—if not bolster—Holocaust knowledge, as her story of surviving the Polish wilderness during WWII and in a Displaced Persons Camp after the war is unique from most accounts. Displaced will inspire the rest of us to confront hatred in its many forms.
