Summary

In "The Adventures of a Revolutionary Soldier," Joseph Plumb Martin presents a vivid and personal account of life during the American Revolutionary War. Written in the form of a memoir, the text blends soldiers' tales, historical anecdotes, and keen observations, evoking the harsh realities and camaraderie that defined the period. Martin's direct and unembellished prose mirrors the struggles faced by ordinary soldiers, offering readers an authentic glimpse into the daily life, hardships, and pivotal moments that shaped the nascent nation. Joseph Plumb Martin, born in 1760, encapsulates the voice of a common soldier with a remarkable sense of detail and honesty. Having enlisted at the age of fifteen, Martin's experiences range from brutal winter encampments to the exhilaration of battle, lending his narrative the credibility of firsthand experience. His reflections not only illuminate the challenges of military life but also echo the broader struggle for independence, stemming from the ideals of liberty and self-governance that reverberated throughout the late 18th century. This engaging and informative memoir is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, military studies, or the personal stories that enrich collective narratives. Martin's eloquent and vivid retelling not only underscores the importance of individual experiences in historical context but also invites readers to ponder the lasting legacies of sacrifice and resilience during one of America's most defining eras.

    Alex slips off her headphones and savors the sensation of stillness in silence while the crowd dances on at Oslo’s hot new silent disco. She is conducting her dream field research on sound and attention when a handsome stranger beckons to her from across the dance floor. Hoping for a little warmth in Norway’s cold climate, she follows him -- going from anthropology PhD student to murder suspect. With the Norwegian police and a killer closing in, Alex is stranded in a country where every puzzle piece is slightly out of place. While dyslexia makes reading Norwegian difficult, it also gifts her an uncanny ability to read people. Soon she is channeling Ms. Marple as much as Margaret Meade, as she re-places puzzle pieces and navigates the sharp edges of the frosty Fjord in an attempt to free herself and return home.

    What are the politics of nature? Who owns it, where is it, what role does it play in our lives? Does it need to be tamed? Are we ourselves natural? In A Darker Wilderness, a constellation of luminary writers reflect on the significance of nature in their lived experience and on the role of nature in the lives of Black folks in the United States. Each of these essays engages with a single archival object, whether directly or obliquely, exploring stories spanning hundreds of years and thousands of miles, traveling from roots to space and finding rich Blackness everywhere. 
 
 
 
Erin Sharkey considers Benjamin Banneker's 1795 almanac, as she follows the passing of seasons in an urban garden in Buffalo. Naima Penniman reflects on a statue of Haitian revolutionary François Makandal, within her own pursuit of environmental justice. Ama Codjoe meditates on rain, hair, protest, and freedom via a photo of a woman during a civil rights demonstration in Alabama. And so on with wide-ranging contributions unearthing evidence of the ways Black people's relationship to the natural world has persevered through colonialism, slavery, violence, and structurally racist policies. 
 
 
 
A scrapbook, a family chest, a quilt—a work of historical engagement and literary accomplishment—A Darker Wilderness is a collection brimming with abundance and insight.
