  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Victoria (Sunfire #13) by Willo Davis Roberts the Girl Sleuth and Other Stories
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Victoria (Sunfire #13) by Willo Davis Roberts the girl sleuth and other stories. Usually series like Sunfire are created by adult romance publishers who want to introduce young readers to the genre before they’re old enough to know better. A variation on the ol’ candy-flavored cigarette trick, basically. A later series in a similar vein, Avon True Romance, would make this explicit; books like Nicola and the Viscount and Tess and the Highlander introduced middle-grade readers to standard romance tropes like the Regency ton and kilt-clad Scots. Sunfire was launched by Scholastic, who only markets to children—remember those mail-order book club sheets you used to get in grade school?—so presumably hookin’ ‘em while they’re young to ensure future sales wasn’t one of their major priorities. Nevertheless, Sunfire shares plenty of common ground with adult historical romance, and it’s entirely unsurprising that many adult romance readers reference it as their introduction to the genre. The problem with using Sunfire as an intro to romance tropes and themes is that it’s a strictly American series, and historical romance is a genre that looks overseas more often than not. We lose our Regency dukes and our Scottish highlanders, British rogues and Medieval knights and those harem-owning sheiks. (For a middle-grade series, dropping that last one is probably for the best.) But Sunfire retains a number of the American- set romance novelist’s favorite devices: pirates and Southern belles, pioneers and Native Americans. There are other historical romance tropes, too, not limited to American ones: the widower learning to love again in Jessica and the cross-dressing heroine in Caroline .

    SUPERMAN SAYS YOU CAN SLAP A JAP: RACE AND REPRESENTATION IN COMICS A thesis submitted to the faculty of San Francisco State University In Partial Fulfillment of The Requirements of 36 The Degree Master of Arts In History by Margaret Elizabeth Woodbury San Francisco, California May 2017 Copyright by Margaret Elizabeth Woodbury 2017 CERTIFICATION OF APPROVAL I certify that I have read Superman Says You Can Slap A Jap: Race and Representation in Comics by Margaret Elizabeth Woodbury, and that in my opinion this work meets the criteria for approving a thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree: Master of Arts in History at San Francisco State University. Dawn Mabalon Professor of History Marc Dollinger Professor of Jewish Studies Professor of History SUPERMAN SAYS YOU CAN SLAP A JAP: RACE AND REPRESENTATION IN COMICS Margaret Elizabeth Woodbury San Francisco, California 2017 This purpose of this project is to place mainstream American comics firmly in a historical context in order to analyze ideas of race, gender, and politics from the late 1930s to the end of the 1970s. Using popular heroes, the background of writers, and an understanding of 20th century U.S. history, this study argues that these comics were a racial project: a purposeful attempt by writers, distributers, and artists to shape discourse on race, identity, and a desired political and social structure. The racial project of comics shifted and evolved during this time period from a white supremacist world view to a more positive and culturally significant one influenced and shaped by white understanding of the civil rights movements that affected the United States in the mid-20th century.

  • Fort Robinson, Nebraska
    Fort Robinson RG0501 Fort Robinson, Nebraska Records, etc.: 1874-1988 Cubic ft.: 16 Approx. # of Items: 23 reels of microfilm, 25 Boxes, 288 microfiche, and uncounted Oversize blueprints of Fort HISTORICAL NOTE In March 1871, the United States Government authorized the establishment of a military camp at the Red Cloud Agency on the White River. Home of some 13,000 Indians, the agency was one of the most troublesome spots on the Plains. The camp was named Camp Robinson in honor of Lt. Levi H. Robinson, who had been killed by Indians the previous month. In May 1874, the camp was relocated west of the agency and in June 1878 was officially designated Fort Robinson. Between 1876 and 1890, Fort Robinson played an active role in the Indian Wars. In May of 1877, Crazy Horse surrendered at Fort Robinson and was killed there on September 5, 1877, while resisting imprisonment in the post guardhouse. The following year, Cheyenne Indians led by Chief Dull Knife escaped from their reservation in the Indian Territory and a group of some 150 were finally captured by troops from Fort Robinson. Imprisoned in a cavalry barracks, the Cheyenne refused to return to the Indian Territory and attempts were made to starve them into submission. Finally, on the night of January 9, 1879, the Cheyenne escaped and began a running fight with the Fort Robinson garrison. During the next two weeks, troops from the fort pursued the Indians in the nearby Butte country, and finally killed or captured the last of them on January 22nd, 1879.
