  • Book Reviews
    BOOK REVIEWS The Keelboat Age on Western Waters. By Leland D. Baldwin. (Pittsburgh, University of Pittsburgh Press, 1941. xiv, 268 p. Maps, illustrations.) Here, in eight swiftly flowing chapters, is the turbulent story of river transportation in the Mississippi Valley prior to the steamboat era. Although Pittsburgh receives the spotlight and the Ohio Valley serves as the main stage for this colorful pageant, the Mississippi and the Missouri are not forgotten. The inclusion of such incidents as the capture of Vincennes on the Wabash during the American Revolution, the Battle of Campbell's Island on the Upper Mississippi during the War of 181 2, the great race of Manuel Lisa up the muddy Missouri in 181 1, and the removal of the famous Red River raft during the 1830's by Captain Henry MillerShreve illustrate the far-flung nature of the "boatable waters" of the Mississippi Valley which Thomas Hart Benton and William Clark estimated in 1820 at fiftythousand miles. Inhis opening chapter Dr. Baldwin discusses the role of the western waters in American expansion. Although primarily concerned with the keelboat, considerable space is allotted to the other types of river craft used in the Mississippi Valley from Revolutionary War days to about 1820. This is espe- cially true when boats and boat building are discussed in chapter two. The advantages and disadvantages of such craft as the bullboat and the bateau, the birchbark canoe and the dugout, the Mackinaw boat and the flatboat, the keel- boat and the barge are clearly outlined from the standpoint of cost, capacity, speed, and durability.

I believe that this is because the Buddha’s basic approach was to prescribe a different treatment for every spiritual ailment, much as a doctor prescribes a different medicine for every medical ailment. Thus his teachings were always appropriate for the par­ ticular suffering individual and for the time at which the teaching was given, and over the ages not one of his prescriptions has failed to relieve the suffering to which it was addressed. Ever since the Buddha’s Great Demise over twenty-five hundred years ago, his message of wisdom and compassion has spread through­ out the world.

  • Duelling in America, Ed
    Violence, Masculinity, Image, and Reality on the Antebellum Frontier RYAN L. DEARINGER It is a permanent and universal interest of mankind that men should not kill each other; but the particular and momentary interest of a nation or class may in certain cases make homicide excusable or even honorable. Honor is nothing but this particular rule, based on a par- ticular state ofsociety, by means of which a people distributes praise or blame. -ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE ocqueville, perhaps the most prophetic and certainly the most cited T nineteenth-century foreign observer of American life, had more to say about the image, reality, and significance of violence than scholars have rec- ognized. Like many of his contemporaries who observed Jacksonian America, he was puzzled by the ambiguous relationship between honor, violence, and social class, particularly as it played out in the ritual of the duel. The refusal of a challenge to duel, Tocqueville noted, was the only act he knew to be considered both honorable and dishonorable. Viewing Ryan L. Dearinger is a history graduate student at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana. A portion of this paper was presented at the Paul Lucas Conference in History, hosted by Indiana University, Bloomington, on April 12, 2003. 1 first wish to thank three great mentors: Mark David Hall, Kerry Irish, and Ralph Beebe of George Fox University I am particularly indebted to Nancy Gabin for her insights, guidance, and confidence in my work.

  • Reader's Guide to the Mountain Men of the American West
    Reader©s Guide to the Mountain Men of the American West Antoine Clement, by Alfred Jacob Miller Compiled by Stuart Wier October 25, 2010 This is a guide to the best books about the mountain men of the American west which I know about. Anyone can find a book here to suit them: casual readers, students, enthusiasts, reenactors, and historians. I include a few less distinguished books, too, when they are the only thing about a topic. For some fifteen years -- roughly speaking, 1823 to 1838 and beyond -- the western U.S. was the domain of the mountain men, fur trappers who spent years traveling and living in the wilderness. Long before wagon trains, settlers, gold rushes, cavalry, Indian wars, cowboys, wild west towns, or railroads, mountain men were the first from the U.S. to see the Rocky Mountains and the lands from the plains to the Pacific. Their life was highly free and adventuresome, and often dangerous and short, lived in a shining wilderness. Where to begin? Many books, many choices. For a readable and short introduction try Give Your Heart to the Hawks by Winfred Blevins. For detailed histories try A Life Wild and Perilous by Robert M. Utley or the classic history Across the Wide Missouri by Bernard DeVoto. Or try some of the best biographies, such as Westering Man The Life of Joseph Walker by Bil Gilbert and Jedediah Smith and the Opening of the West by Dale L. Morgan. For adventures or "camp fire tales" try the personal journals and narratives written by some of the mountain men themselves.

Franklin’s interests were diverse and wide-ranging. Countless volumes have been written about him. The challenge for the One Book program was to choose works that would adequately capture the true essence of the man and his times. Because of the complexity of this year’s subject, and in order to promote the widest participation possible, One Book, One Philadelphia has chosen to offer not one, but three books about Franklin. This year’s theme will be “Three Books for One Founding Father.” The featured books are: • The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin by Benjamin Franklin (various editions) • Ben and Me by Robert Lawson (1939, Little, Brown & Company) • Franklin: The Essential Founding Father by James Srodes (2002, Regnery Publishing, Inc.) The Authors BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, author of The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, was born in 1706 and died in 1790 at the age of 84. He was an author, inventor, businessman, scholar, scientist, revolutionary, and statesman whose contributions to Philadelphia and the world are countless.
