El Dorado Illustrated
El Dorado (pronounced [el doˈɾaðo], English: /ˌɛl dəˈrɑːdoʊ/; Spanish for "the golden one"), originally El Hombre Dorado ("The Golden Man") or El Rey Dorado ("The Golden King"), was the term used by the Spanish in the 16th century to describe a mythical tribal chief (zipa) of the Muisca people, an indigenous people of the Altiplano Cundiboyacense of Colombia, who, as an initiation rite, covered himself with gold dust and submerged in Lake Guatavita. The legends surrounding El Dorado changed over time, as it went from being a man, to a city, to a kingdom, and then finally to an empire.A second location for El Dorado was inferred from rumors, which inspired several unsuccessful exped...
El Dorado
In Paris, that city of poets and soldiers, the blood-stained walls still echo with cries of horror from the massacres of the Revolution. And now a new threat hangs over the great city: for the Committee of General Security has just acquired full powers to invade private homes, to act at will against the enemies of public welfare -- and to interrogate them without witnesses. This new law, Robespierre's latest whim, is no less than a ruse to beat up game for the thirsty guillotine News soon reaches the ears of that champion of the helpless and the innocent, the mysterious and ingenious Englishman known in France only as . . . the Scarlet Pimpernel. English novelist and playwright Baroness Emmuska Orczy (1865-1947) achieved enduring success with her novels of politics, intrigue and underground resistance, including El Dorado, set during the French Revolution.
Seeking El Dorado
From the 18th century, African Americans, like many others, have migrated to California to seek fortunes or, often, the more modest goals of being able to find work, own a home, and raise a family relatively free of discrimination. Not only their search but also its outcome is covered in Seeking El Dorado. Whether they settled in major cities or smaller towns, African Americans created institutions and organizations—churches, social clubs, literary societies, fraternal orders, civil rights organizations—that embodied the legacy of their past and the values they shared. Blacks came in search of the same jobs as other Americans, but the search often proved frustrating. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, African American leadership in the state consistently focused on achieving racial justice. The essays in this book speak of triumph and hardship, success, discrimination, and disappointment. Seeking El Dorado is a major contribution to black history and the history of the American West and will be of interest to both scholars and general readers.
