Paperback. Condizione: Good. John Singleton Mosby (18331916) was the Confederacy's best-known practitioner of guerrilla warfare. At heart a Unionist, he nonetheless joined the Southern cause when his homestate of Virginia seceded. He served first in the cavalry and later as commander of a partisan unit in Northern Virginia, where his operations tied up such large numbers of Federal troops that sufficient force could not be gathered to break Robert E. Lee's army till April 1865. Mosby's narrow escapes and impossible exploits (including the capture of a Union general from his bed) earned him a status as a cavalry commander equal to Stuart and Forrest, and a preeminence among the partisan leaders of history. Mosby was only thirty-one when the war ended. Rebel fully explores his long and eventful postwar career: his political battles; his close friendships with former enemies; his association with presidents from Ulysses S. Grant to Theodore Roosevelt; his service as U. S. consul in Hong Kong; and his involvement in the West's range-fencing crisis. In the process this book reveals the fierce independence and eccentric vision of one of America's most controversial, uncompromising figures.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Exceptionally well written.very highly recommended.-Midwest Book Review You're not stuck in history class any more. But you've discovered, as an adult, that you really like history. The problem is you don't like wading through thick prose. Something that might make it easier for you to read history is hearing some actual voices amid the prose, voices from the past, voices of people who were there. In Conquistador Voices, that is what you'll get. This two-volume set is about the so-called Spanish conquest of the Americas, a 500-year-old event the reverberations of which are still felt today. The structural bones of the story as told here consist of mostly eyewitness accounts-the voices. These voices belonged to the men who came with Columbus, Cort s, Pizarro, Soto. In the Cort s chapters, beneath the din of horsemen clattering over rocky passes and the jangle of infantry on the move you will also hear the faint and confused cry of the people themselves. The voice of a people being conquered and displaced forever. Finally, you'll hear the voice of Cabeza de Vaca, a man whose will to survive knew no bounds. We're fortunate to possess the remarkable testimony of the men who carried out this hemispheric invasion, with all their prejudices, conceits, cruelties, occasional sensitivity, and remarkable resilience. It nudges us toward informed opinion. What you won't find between these covers is moralizing, or at least not much of it. Because the author thinks you're capable of moralizing for yourself.
