Sinopse

In "Over the Santa Fé Trail, 1857," William Barclay Napton offers a vivid and meticulous account of a pivotal expedition along one of America's most storied routes. The text blends travelogue with historical narrative, intertwining personal observations with broader commentary on the socio-economic landscape of mid-19th century America. Napton's prose evokes the spirit of adventure and exploration, revealing not only the physical challenges of the journey but also the cultural encounters that defined the era. This work serves as both a document of discovery and a reflection on the expanding national identity shaped by westward expansion. Napton, an accomplished lawyer and politician from Missouri, was deeply influenced by the prevailing sentiments of Manifest Destiny during his time. His experience as a regional figure navigating the complexities of frontier life provides a unique lens through which he views the landscapes and peoples encountered on the journey. This background, coupled with his eloquent writing style, brings authenticity and depth to his narrative, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the historical context he portrays. For readers intrigued by the interplay of adventure, history, and culture, "Over the Santa Fé Trail, 1857" is an essential addition to the canon of American exploration literature. It not only enriches our understanding of a significant historical route but also invites reflection on the complexities of American identity in the face of a changing frontier. Napton's work is a compelling read for historians, travelers, and anyone fascinated by the spirit of exploration.

    You are in luck, because you are getting extra material out of this combo. The following topics are going to be addressed: 
    Part 1: The Akkadian Empire is one of the oldest civilizations we know of. Dating back to a few thousand years B.C., it presents itself with some archaeological finds, as well as long-forgotten mysteries and unanswered questions that will probably remain that way. 
    However, despite of the many secrets this advanced, vast empire holds, it could definitely be worth our time to explore some of the things we do know. 
    Part 2: The Byzantine Empire has often been overlooked. Yet, this vast empire last for hundreds of years and has had a major impact on the world religions and politics even into the past century. 
    The Byzantine Empire was heavily influenced by the Romans and the Christian culture. Several centuries A.D. It was marked by conquests, emperors, rules, orthodoxy, and the giant capital of Constantinople (which is now Istanbul). 
    Part 3: The Mongolian Empire was not to be trifled with! Genghis Khan and his followers conquered a vast part of Asia, Europe, and beyond. There aren’t many people who haven’t heard of these conquerors and their achievement. Honor them or despise them, but at least acknowledge their existence. 
    How did the Mongol Empire grow so big? 
    What was it like before the expansion? 
    And how come Mongolia is an area with such a small population now? 
    These questions and many others will be answered in this historical guide. 
    Part 4: The Ottoman Empire was so big and lasted for so long, yet it is one of those empires that many common people have forgotten about. The people who lived in what is now Turkey, and in surrounding areas, were mostly devout Muslims who were defending their beliefs and trying to expand the realm to conquer more territory. Shockingly, the empire was slowly falling apart by the time the 20th century came around the corner.

    The underground rock wall in Rockwall, Texas has fascinated me for years. I’ve read everything I could online about it. Recently I moved from Los Angeles to Denton, Texas which is only about an hour drive from Rockwall. So I went there and spent an hour with the Rockwall County Museum Curator and learned a lot more about the structure.Was also able to examine and take pictures of the wall section moved from the actual wall and reconstructed outside the museum.In this book I’ve related the history of the wall’s discovery, excavations, interesting items and structures found on or near the wall, and information about possible giants who might have built it.There are a lot of unanswered questions about this structure which still need to be learned. Those questions are listed near the end of this book.
