Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} I'll Storm Hell by Noel B. Gerson I'll Storm Hell Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} I'll Storm Hell by Noel B. Gerson I'll Storm Hell. While tensions grow between the British Crown and its American colonies, precocious tearaway 'Mad' Anthony Wayne studies the victories of Hannibal, Caesar and the Duke of Marlborough, in the hope one day leading an army of his own. Then in 1774, inspired by the call-to-arms of Benjamin Franklin and George Washington, he raises a battalion of militiamen; a rag-tag bunch of farmers, but tough Pennsylvanian Patriots nonetheless. By 1775 the colonies have declared themselves the United States of America, and Anthony Wayne is marching his men to expel the Redcoats and protect a new country's independence. Following unprecedented success in the field, he swiftly earns the respect of revolutionary leaders and British generals alike. But as war drags on, the challenges facing the Americans evolve. The British army is the best trained in the world. Devastating bayonet raids are taking their toll on an exhausted, malnourished and under-equipped militia. Congress vacillates on a course of action, while the morale of Anthony's men wanes by the day. Washington knows the capture of Stony Point, a formidable British redoubt, could be the turning point of the war. Despite the odds, Anthony Wayne believes he can storm it. Indeed, for independence, he'll storm hell. In this inimitable blend of fact and fiction Noel Gerson brings to life not a mad man, but an unjustly overlooked founding father and American hero. 'Like Wayne, the story has virtually everything - adventure, color, romance' - Kirkus Review. Noel Bertram Gerson (1913-1988) was a prolific American author, who wrote 325 books under his own name and under several pseudonyms. He channeled his own wartime experience in military intelligence into many of his novels, as well as writing widely about American history. His titles include 'Liner', 'The Conqueror's Wife', 'The Great Rogue: A Biography of Captain John Smith' and 'Daughter of Earth and Water: A Biography of Mary Shelley'. Endeavour Media is the UK's leading independent publisher of digital books. Genre: Thriller. I'LL STORM HELL. This is one of Gerson's bi-annual biographical assignments one step down the road in his determination to cover the whole field of American history. Now it's ""Mad Anthony"" Wayne, gentleman farmer from Pennsylvania and unpredictably able general of the American Revolution who specialized in accomplishing the manifestly impossible by means of ""mad"" bayonet charges supported by artillery. The book covers the span of his erratic life and a career which teetered between public disgrace and adulation. Like Wayne, the story has virtually everything--adventure, color, romance, etc. but unlike him, it is guaranteed to offend no one which is the closest to a positive recommendation one can make.

    ALIENABLE RIGHTS: NEGATIVE FIGURES OF U.S. CITIZENSHIP, 1787-1868 by CARRIE HYDE A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Literatures in English written under the direction of Professor Michael Warner and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey October 2011 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Alienable Rights: Negative Figures of U.S. Citizenship, 1787-1868 By CARRIE HYDE Dissertation Director: Michael Warner This dissertation examines how the literature of early U.S. citizenship reinvents the terms, sentiments, and limits of political membership. I argue that “negative civic exemplars”—expatriates, slaves, traitors, and dispossessed subjects—dominated the imagination of citizenship from the ratification of the Constitution until the passage of the Fourteenth Amendment. Amid fractious controversies over borders and loyalties, authors such as Washington Irving, Edward Everett Hale, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Frederick Douglass, and Harriet Beecher Stowe set aside the figure of the “body politic,” with its ideal of organic incorporation, to explore the ardent pathos of disenfranchised subjects and alienated citizens. Reading fiction alongside legal debates, political philosophy, and sermons, I suggest that we misunderstand early U.S. citizenship if we take it as either self-evident or reducible to any single legislative act. The uneven development of citizenship requires a hybrid method that attends as much to the discordant fantasies of affiliation as to the empirical conditions within which they arose. Alienable Rights offers an alternative genealogy of citizenship that takes discontinuous modes of allegiance, not geopolitical borders, as the principal measure of ii politics.

  • {PDF EPUB} Because I Loved Him the Life and Loves of Lillie Langtry by Noel B
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Because I Loved Him The Life and Loves of Lillie Langtry by Noel B. Gerson Lillie Langtry Noel B Gerson. Lillie Langtry: A Biography of her Life and Loves (Paperback) Noel B Gerson. Published by Sapere Books, United States, 2021. New - Softcover Condition: New. Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. Brand new Book. Politicians, poets, artists, princes; Lillie Langtry was adored by all. This biography explores the life of a remarkable woman who enthralled Victorian Britain and Gilded Age America. Before Kim Kardashian, Jackie Kennedy and Zsa Zsa Gabor there was Lillie Langtry. Born on the remote island of Jersey in the English Channel, Lillie moved to London at the age of twenty with her new husband, the Irish landowner, Edward Langtry, in 1876 and took society by storm. Social, political and artistic giants from Oscar Wilde to William Gladstone were enraptured by her charm and beauty. Theodore Roosevelt said of her "That woman is a real marvel. And she's so pretty she takes away a man's breath." While Walt Whitman noted "There shines in Lillie Langtry a purity of spirit. Therein lies the essence of human poetry." Yet it was Edward, Prince of Wales and future King of England, who truly became infatuated with Lillie and soon she became his mistress. Over the course of the next few decades she travelled between America and Britain, as she transformed from socialite to actress, captivating newspaper readers with details of her turbulent love life. Noel B. Gerson uncovers the twists and turns of the most famous, some would say infamous, woman of her age as she mesmerized society on both sides of the Atlantic.

    CREATING LASTING LEGACIES AND POWERFUL POSITIONS: A Survey History of the Roles, Traditions, Impacts and Influences of Sixteen First Ladies of the United States, from 1789-2001. By Jess R. Gagliardi A THESIS Submitted to Adams State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of M.A. in United States History May 2015 ABSTRACT CREATING LASTING LEGACIES AND POWERFUL POSITIONS By Jess R. Gagliardi First ladies are an important element in presidential administrations and have parallel structures, as they are in a position to be leaders, have important roles, supported various causes and have tremendous influence over presidents. First ladies have developed this role from scratch, entirely since Martha Washington who built a powerful institution in the federal government. Many first ladies have sponsored programs and causes, and have been role models for the people of their times. At times, activism by these women in support of causes and policies has run afoul of social convention and ideological opposition, consistent with evolving roles and expectations for women. Sixteen first ladies have been highly influential in creating and establishing influence and importance in United States History. The early first ladies of influence and importance include: Martha Washington, Dolley Madison, Sarah Polk, Mary Todd Lincoln, Lucy Hayes, Edith Wilson and Lou Hoover. In 1933, Eleanor Roosevelt significantly changed the role of first lady, becoming a vital facet of the presidential administration. First ladies since 1945 of authority and influence include: Bess Truman, Jacqueline Kennedy, Lady Bird Johnson, Betty Ford, Rosalynn Carter, Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush and Hillary Clinton. Each of these ladies have established themselves as assets to presidents, and enlarged their public role beyond serving as the unofficial White House hostess.
