The Ranger Ideal Volume 1
Established in Waco in 1968, the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum honors the iconic Texas Rangers, a service which has existed, in one form or another, since 1823. They have become legendary symbols of Texas and the American West. Thirty-one Rangers, with lives spanning more than two centuries, have been enshrined in the Hall of Fame. In The Ranger Ideal Volume 1: Texas Rangers in the Hall of Fame, 1823-1861, Darren L. Ivey presents capsule biographies of the seven inductees who served Texas before the Civil War. He begins with Stephen F. Austin, “the Father of Texas,” who laid the foundations of the Ranger service, and then covers John C. Hays, Ben McCulloch, Samuel H. Walker, William A. A. “Bigfoot” Wallace, John S. Ford, and Lawrence Sul Ross. Using primary records and reliable secondary sources, and rejecting apocryphal tales, The Ranger Ideal presents the true stories of these intrepid men who fought to tame a land with gallantry, grit, and guns. This Volume 1 is the first of a planned three-volume series covering all of the Texas Rangers inducted in the Hall of Fame and Museum in Waco, Texas.

Sir Ellis Clarke
Dr. Seigler has done a highly commendable job in producing a detailed biography on the life of Sir Ellis Clarke. His work, Sir Ellis Clarke: A Royal Son of the Soil is insightful, thought-provoking, and written in a reader-friendly style." Dr. Lawrence Rossow, Former Dean, University of Houston-Victoria. "Sir Ellis Clarke: A Royal Son of the Soil is an eloquent biography that introduces Americans to the life of Sir Ellis Clarke, a modern-day Founding Father of Trinidad and Tobago. Readers in the United States and around the world will be the likely beneficiaries of Dr. Seigler's insight into how Sir Ellis' struggle to devise a workable constitution for his own nation, might illuminate the constitutional jurisprudence of the United States." Dr. Harvey Hinton, Former Assistant professor of Social Studies at North Carolina Central University
Odyssey of Texas Ranger James Callahan, The
James Callahan entered Texas armed, a quixotic young man enlisted in the Georgia Battalion for the cause of independence. He barely survived the 1836 Battle of Refugio and the Goliad Massacre. Undaunted by the perils of his adopted home, he remained in the line of fire for the next twenty-one years, fighting to protect Texas settlers from Apaches, Comanches, Seminoles, Kickapoos, outlaws, mavericks and the Mexican army. As a Texas Ranger, he rode with the legendary men of Seguin and San Antonio. In 1855, he commanded the punitive expedition into Mexico that bears his name, a fiasco that has been shrouded by mystery and shadowed by controversy ever since. In this first-ever biography, Joseph Luther traces the tragic course of the wayfarer who crossed so much of the Texas frontier and created so much of its story.
The Archaeology of Engagement
When a historic battlefield site is discovered and studied, the focus is often on the “hardware”: remnants of weaponry, ammunition, supplies, and equipment that archaeologists carefully unearth, analyze, conserve, and frequently place on display in museums. But what about the “software”? What can archaeology teach us about the humans involved in the conflict: their social mores and cultural assumptions; their use and understanding of power? In The Archaeology of Engagement: Conflict and Revolution in the United States, Dana L. Pertermann and Holly K. Norton have assembled a collection of studies that includes sites of conflicts between groups of widely divergent cultures, such as Robert E. Lee's mid-1850s campaign along the Concho River and the battles of the River Raisin during the War of 1812. Notably, the second half of the book applies the editors’ principles of conflict event theory to the San Jacinto Battlefield in Texas, forming a case study of one of America's most storied—and heavily trafficked—battle sites.
Welten der Sklaverei
Sklaverei, von Gewalt begleitete Ausbeutung von Menschen durch andere Menschen, ist etwas, das sich durch die Menschheitsgeschichte zieht und bis heute existiert. Ein internationales Team von 70 Fachhistorikern ist für dieses gewaltige Buch der Geschichte der Sklaverei nachgegangen: ihrer Anfänge in der Vorgeschichte, ihrer Etablierung in den alten Hochkulturen, der Erfindung des Sklavenhandels im antiken Griechenland, der Sklaverei als Selbstverständlichkeit im alten Rom, dem Umgang von Judentum, Christentum und Islam mit der Sklavenhaltung, dem allmählichen Übergang von Sklavenhaltung zu anderen Formen der Knechtschaft im europäischen Mittelalter, der Belebung des Sklavenhandels und ...
GEO Epoche 97/2019 - DER KOLONIALISMUS
Liebe Leserin, lieber Leser Die Herrschaft, die Europäer ab etwa 1500 allmählich über weite Teile der Welt ausübten, war im Grundsatz ein brutales System der Unterdrückung, gegründet auf Habsucht, Rassismus und missionarischem Eifer. Die Kolonialmächte gingen über Leichen, und ihre Regime hinterließen Traumata, die vielerorts noch immer nicht verheilt sind – wie in Nordamerika, wo es zur fast völligen Auslöschung der Ureinwohner kam, wie in Afrika, wo mehr als zwölf Millionen Einheimische versklavt und über den Atlantik verschleppt wurden, wie in Indien, wo das British Empire millionenfachen Hungertod hinnahm. So eindeutig also das moralische Urteil über diesen fast 500 Jahre...
