Resumen del editor:

Son pocos los momentos de nuestras vidas en los que nos encontramos con un texto electrizante. Nos da esa sensación de que "¡esto era lo que me estaba perdiendo!". En el mundo de los nativos norteamericanos, donde la comunicación oral ocupa el lugar de la palabra escrita, esa revelación suele ocurrir cuando escuchamos por primera vez - o comprendemos por primera vez la historia del origen, la naturaleza y el carácter de nuestra gente. En el pasado, esas narraciones se relataban en las recitaciones ceremoniales que tenían lugar durante los encuentros, para asegurar que se transmitieran a las generaciones futuras. No tenemos nada "más original" que "El origen del hombre rojo".

Length: 3 mins

Release date: 11-25-14

Publisher's Summary:

The Gettysburg Address is the most famous speech of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln and one of the most quoted speeches in United States history. It was delivered at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, on November 19, 1863, during the American Civil War, four and a half months after the Battle of Gettysburg.

There are several written versions of the Gettysburg Address, each with minor differences from each other, but this one, known as the Bliss Copy, is the most reproduced and appears on the walls of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC.

Members Reviews:

but all the same it's an excellent and worthwhile and very short document to read

The Gettysburg Address by Abraham Lincoln is 200 words long, in ten sentences, and is one of the masterpieces of American political speech in defending the universality of human rights and the legitimacy of republican government. It is also available for free for those who want to read it from time on their e-readers. Seriously, downloading this document should be a no-brainer. Students used to have to memorize this task, and it is one of those writings that deserves to be read and reflected on over and over again. Given its recognized greatness, I am aware that what I say about this document is entirely redundant, but all the same it's an excellent and worthwhile and very short document to read, and one that deserves its fame.

It's riveting and important

Watching Steven Spielbergâs movie reminded me that I had never actually read the Gettyburgâs address. Born and raised in Europe I only learned the highlights and about the speechâs historical significance.

Reading the famous speech was a riveting experience.

The following lines hit home:

ââ It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated

here to the unfinished work which they

who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.

It is rather for us to be here

dedicated to the great task

remaining before us ... â

Donât these words apply to so many other issues: the extinction of poverty, saving the environment, creating a stable peaceful environment for allâ and so much more?

A must read for all! These lines will never lose significance!

American leadership at it's best!

If asked what great Americans past or present I would like to meet, Abraham Lincoln would definitely be in the top 10. His eloquent words stir the mind and the soul. They not only acknowledge the terrible state of our country during the Civil War but also give hope about what our country could become.

Narrator: John Greenman

Language: English

Release date: 10-25-14

Publisher: Spoken Realms

Publisher's Summary:

Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 - April 15, 1865) was the 16th president of the United States, serving from March 1861 until his assassination on April 15th, 1865. Lincoln led the United States through its Civil War - its bloodiest war and its greatest moral, constitutional and political crisis. In doing so, he preserved the Union, abolished slavery, strengthened the federal government, and modernized the economy.

Three days before he was shot, Lincoln delivered this, his last public speech. Dealing with "reconstruction", and especially Louisiana, Lincoln for the first time publicly endorsed black voting rights. John Wilkes Booth, who was in the audience, vowed "That is the last speech he will make." Three days later he shot Lincoln as he watched a play in Ford's Theatre.

Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover

I don't own this book but maybe the publisher could get the name of the author correct, which is William Henry Harrison vs William Henry. This mistake doesn't really provide confidence that any attention was given to the contents.

Title: The Enduring Journey of the USS Chesapeake

Subtitle: Navigating the Common History of Three Nations

Author: Chris Dickon

Narrator: Nick Hahn

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 51 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-03-14

Publisher: New Street Communications, LLC

Genres: History, American

Publisher's Summary:

As the Bicentennial of the War of 1812 is observed in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, one of its most important artifacts sits relatively intact and unknown in England. The USS Chesapeake was launched in Portsmouth, Virginia in 1799, and captured by the British in one of the most storied naval battles of the War of 1812. Though broken up in Portsmouth, England, in 1819, she endures more than any of the other American warships of her day, including the USS Constitution. Since 1820, the uncut and unaltered timbers of the Chesapeake have survived as the structure of a flour mill beside the Meon River in Wickham, Hampshire County, UK. When the Chesapeake Mill became obsolete and abandoned in the 1970s, the ship was in danger of being broken up once again. Then, at the beginning of the 21st century, the forces of historic preservation returned her to life in another form.

BUYER BEWARE: This is a remarkably poor book in a number of aspects

BUYER BEWARE:

If a "Razzie" award were given for the most inept history book of 2008, then this book would be the recipient.

Staggeringly flawed, this is an amateurish, unprofessional product, and it is very questionable if it is worth your time. I seldom review a book as a "one-star", but this one clearly deserves the low rating. This certainly looks like a low-effort attempt to "cash in on" the War of 1812 anniversaries with a shallow, derivative book, a milquetoast effort. The book lacks notes, references, bibliography, and index, which is indicative of its quality. On this basis alone, I would call this a remarkably poor history book and strongly suggest that you pass it by. If the author had invested the energy in writing his book that he does in desperately deflecting criticism, there would likely have been no criticism.

But it gets worse ...

1) The author lavished words and photographs on an unofficial visit of a handful of enlisted Tennessee Air National Guardsmen (an organization with no connection to the US Navy) to the gravesites of some of the Chesapeake USN POWs in Canada, suggesting an official significance that it never had. This was a casual visit, of no significance.

2) Amazingly, he also went to some considerable length comparing this early 19th Century frigate duel to - of all things - a massive early 20th Century land battle on the Western Front in France late in WW I (the connection: the captured USS Chesapeake was first brought to Canada and the land battle in France had involved Canadians)! Yes - seriously - he thought that such a tenuous connection was worth discussing at some length. This is the very limited quality of analysis that this author "brings to the table"! Absolutely ridiculous!

3) He then expressed astonishment that the US Navy will not name another vessel "Chesapeake" - the only ship surrendered TWICE to the British (1807 to the HMS Leopard and 1813 to the HMS Shannon), thus a remarkably "unlucky" name among sailors (who at least affect to being superstitious). Wow! Does he know nothing of the US Navy? What USN sailor would want to sail on a vessel with this name? I cringed when I read this, embarrassed for the author.

Title: Beloved Cherokee: Reflections and the Grand Finale, Part II

Author: M. R. Farrar

Narrator: Ellery Truesdell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 20 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-26-14

Publisher: Marilyn Farrar

Ratings: 1 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: History, American

Publisher's Summary:

History is important to the understanding of life; it is hoped the reader will enjoy this study of a long-time family, their love for country, and accepting failure and defeat with victory.

John-Jehu was said to be a successful businessman, early 1800s, and, since he was fluent in the Cherokee language, he had been in the employ of the Judge Advocate for the Cherokee before 1830.

This really lines up with all we have learned of his life, and we hail him as a fine American, a patriot, with all the values that made this a great nation, that is, a voice for the weak, a love of justice, and human progress.

Members Reviews:

A VERY NEW AND POWERFUL SLANT ON A FAMILIAR SUBJECT! DESTINED TO BECOME A LITERARY CLASSIC!

I read Steel in the Cotton when it was in manuscript form and Mr. Allen was hoping it could be turned into a movie. It should be a movie. It would make a great film. However, until that happens, I would hope that everyone who enjoys an amazing book will read this one. I feared it was going to be another attempt to outdo Gone With the Wind, or another rehash of what we already know about slave days. I could not have been more wrong. The setting is beautifully established, the plot is new and fresh, the view of slavery absolutely refreshing and reeks of reality. The characters are so well drawn, the situations so gripping, it has all the makings of a literary classic. One of the finest stories I've ever read...and I read a lot.

Great look at historical possibilities!

This is a historical romance set in the history of the civil War. It portrays the conflict and ;the growing together of true friends regardless of circumstances. Prepare to be totally taken in by this book. It is not a history but uses history as the backdrop. Enjoy.

Would make a great movie! Dave

If you have even a slight interest in civil war history this book is a must read . The characters really come alive and you feel you are living back in those times . Would make a great movie ! Dave DeGraff

Another "great" book by Allen

Another great book by a terrific writer who really knows his stuff. Many other books written by this author shows a well rounded grasp of history.
