  Argentina's history is a rich tapestry that can be divided into four distinct periods: the pre-Columbian or early history (up to the sixteenth century), the colonial period (1530–1810), the nation-building period (1810–1880), and contemporary history (from approximately 1880 to the present). Each phase shaped the region, transforming it from sparsely inhabited land into the modern Argentine Republic. 
  Human presence in what is now Argentina dates back approximately 13,000 years, with evidence of early settlements in Patagonia. Archaeological findings suggest human activity through the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic periods. However, a significant depopulation of large interior areas occurred between 4000 and 2000 B.C., likely due to a prolonged period of drought. Over time, indigenous peoples in the region evolved into diverse cultural groups with varying levels of complexity. 
  Uruguayan archaeologist Raúl Campá Soler categorized Argentina’s indigenous peoples into three groups: basic hunters and food gatherers without pottery; advanced gatherers and hunters; and basic farmers who developed pottery. The Pampas and Patagonia were dominated by the first group, while the second included tribes like the Charrúa, Minuane, and Guaraní. The third group, inhabiting regions such as the Quebrada de Humahuaca, adopted farming practices and pottery.

  The Enemy Harassed -...

  In late December 1776, the American War of Independence appeared to be on its last legs. General George Washington's continental forces had been reduced to a shadow of their former strength, and the British Army had chased them across the Delaware River into Pennsylvania. Desperate times call for desperate measures, however, and George Washington responded to this crisis with astonishing audacity. On Christmas night 1776, he recrossed the Delaware as a nor'easter churned up the coast, burying his small detachment under howling sheets of snow and ice. Undaunted, they attacked a Hessian brigade at Trenton, New Jersey, taking the German auxiliaries by complete surprise. Then, only three days later, Washington struck again, crossing the Delaware, slipping away from the British at Trenton, and attacking the Redcoats at Princeton. 
   
   
   
  The British, now back on their heels, retreated toward New Brunswick as Washington's reinvigorated force followed them north into Jersey. Over the next eight months, Washington's continentals and the state militias of New Jersey would go head-to-head with the British in a multitude of battles, eventually forcing the British to flee New Jersey by sea. In this captivating narrative of the American War of Independence, Jim Stempel brings to life one of the most violent, courageous, yet virtually forgotten periods of the Revolutionary War.

As she and her siblings cling to survival, the balance of family ties is weighed against alcoholism, drug abuse, abandonment, and despair. Hope dawns in the form of foster care, only to be deferred by multiple placements and a system not equipped to support the children it's meant to protect.Through powerful vignettes of a life disjointed, Mays's story is a journey of hope that is echoed in the experiences of thousands of children in the court and foster care systems today.Dumpster Doll is brave not because it is unique, but because it unflinchingly shines a light on family turmoil, flaws in judicial systems, and ultimately, the grit and tenacity that thousands of children exhibit each day just to make it through.
