LOS ANGELES: YARNELL, CAYSTILE & MATHES, PRINTERS. 1881. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1881, by HORACE BELL, In the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D.C. TO THE FEW Reminiscences of a ranger; or, Early times in southern California. By Major Horace Bell http://www.loc.gov/resource/calbk.103 SURVIVING MEMBERS OF THE LOS ANGELES RANGERS, AND TO THE MEMORY OF THOSE WHO HAVE ANSWERED TO THE LAST ROLL-CALL, THIS HUMBLE TRIBUTE IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED BY THE AUTHOR. PREFACE. No country or section during the first decade following the conquest of California, has been more prolific of adventure than our own bright and beautiful land; and to rescue from threatened oblivion the incidents herein related, and either occurring under the personal observation of the author, or related to him on the ground by the actors therein, and to give place on the page of history to the names of brave and worthy men who figured in the stirring events of the times referred to, as well as to portray pioneer life as it then existed, not only among the American pioneers, but also the California Spaniards, the author sends forth his book of Reminiscences, trusting that its many imperfections may be charitably scrutinized by a criticising public, and that the honesty of purpose with which it is written will be duly appreciated.

  • The Half-Mind Hymnal
    THE HALF-MIND HYMNAL A Songbook for Hash House Harriers "Shocking! Disgusting! Delightful!" Compiled by Flying Booger December 2014 Edition Flying Booger’s Half-Mind Hymnal The Half-Mind Hymnal is a songbook for Hash House Harriers. Hash House Harriers, like rugby players, sing offensive songs – consider yourself warned! This songbook is a work in progress. I compiled my first hashing songbook in 1993. It contained about 200 songs. Shortly afterward I met famed Colorado hasher and songmaster Zippy. In 1994 we collaborated on a 400-song hymnal, introducing it at InterHash in Rotorua, New Zealand. Zippy and I continued to update the hymnal until his death in 2003; since then I have continued to add new material. The current edition of the Half- Mind Hymnal contains more than 800 songs, poems, and toasts. The Half-Mind Hymnal is dedicated to hashers and hashing. Additional thanks to Bollox, Beaver Bam Bam Balls, Ian Cumming, Sauer Krotch, Dum BUF, Mu-Sick, Catwoman, Neptunus, Sodbuster, Smoking Wiener, and three non-hashers: Derek Cashman, Ed Cray, and John Patrick. Thanks also to the authors of hash songbooks and to the many individual hashers who contributed (and continue to contribute) songs to this collection. Finally, thanks to the pilots of the USAF and NATO fighter squadrons in the Second Allied Tactical Air Force who started me singing and taught me the basic repertoire. Without their inspiration this songbook wouldn't exist. This edition, thanks to the efforts of Lone Wanker, is hyperlinked: click on a song category or the title of an individual song in the table of contents and you will be gently wafted, as if on the wings of hash angel Zippy, directly to where you wanted to go.

  • RABARDY a Novel
    RABARDY a novel & THE SOUTH-PACIFIC SHORT STORIES OF LOUIS BECKE: A CRITICAL STUDY Victoria Warren Thesis submitted for the qualification of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of East Anglia, Department of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing. February, 2017 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Word Count: 95,221 ABSTRACT This thesis consists of a novel, Rabardy, and an extended critical analysis of the South- Pacific short stories of Louis Becke. Rabardy is based on events which took place around 1882, in what is now the Bismarck Archipelago, Papua New Guinea, a place I know personally. The story follows the activities of white traders and a missionary, who negotiate and sometimes violently conflict with the indigenous Melanesians, and who become embroiled in the dissolution of a disastrous French Catholic settler colony. My protagonist is a French sea captain in his late fifties, a man admired for his competence by traders yet considered a monster by the colonists he serves, who believe he is cynically imprisoning them. Rabardy’s ultimate disillusionment with the wider Western colonial project is suggested by the final documentary section – his journal, which redirects the story towards its hidden subject: the Melanesian people. In both elements of this thesis, one problem is addressed in different ways: how to narrate colonialism.

You may copy it, give it away or re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this eBook or online at http://www.gutenberg.org/license Title: The Dawn of Day Author: Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche Release Date: June 9, 2012 [Ebook 39955] Language: English ***START OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE DAWN OF DAY*** Friedrich Nietzsche The Dawn of Day Translated by John McFarland Kennedy Author of “The Quintessence of Nietzsche”, “Religions and Philosophers of the East” There are many dawns which have yet to shed their light.—RIG-VEDA. New York The MacMillan Company 1911 Contents Introduction. .2 Author's Preface. .8 Book I. 15 Book II. 86 Book III. 138 Book IV. 188 Book V. 267 Footnotes . 347 [v] Introduction. When Nietzsche called his book The Dawn of Day, he was far from giving it a merely fanciful title to attract the attention of that large section of the public which judges books by their titles rather than by their contents. The Dawn of Day represents, figuratively, the dawn of Nietzsche's own philosophy. Hitherto he had been considerably influenced in his outlook, if not in his actual thoughts, by Schopenhauer, Wagner, and perhaps also Comte. Human, all-too-Human, belongs to a period of transition. After his rupture with Bayreuth, Nietzsche is, in both parts of that work, trying to stand on his own legs, and to regain his spiritual freedom; he is feeling his way to his own philosophy.

  • Stefan Zweig
    Stefan Zweig - The World of Yesterday – Summary …..Joseph Hahn My aim here is to condense 317 pages into a readable summary loosely translated for those of us disappointed with the younger generation or the political mistakes of the older generation… and now realizing how we were once at the point of saying “don’t trust anyone over 30”. Thirty years ago luck had me in Eugene, Oregon for a teacher seminar- Vienna 1900. We probably read parts of “The World of Yesterday” which left some impression on me. More notable was the impact made by Egon Schwarz as a parallel character from Vienna born 40 years after Zweig. Egon however survived his exile in South America and first died in 2017. He fled Vienna in 1938 and first heard the fate of his family in August, 1945. Of 24 members only the brother of his mother survived. As we get older, we develop the maturity to read literature in a more understanding or even entertaining manner. We also develop emotions along with empathy for the fate of others while making comparisons to previous events. My fascination with Zweig grew in reading his foreword and then observing how he changes his angle on the 19th century liberalism and his perspective on the strange customs of “yesterday” as he gets older – always noting his privileged status. (Larry Rohter, Stefan Zweig, Austrian Novelist, Rises Again, New York Times, May 28, 2014)… Born in Vienna in 1881, into a prosperous Jewish family, Zweig grew up in what he would later describe as a “golden age of security.” Success and acclaim came to him early and never left, but the rise of Nazism forced him into a painful and enervating exile, first in Britain, then the United States and, finally Brazil, where he and his wife, Lotte, committed suicide in February 1942.
