Download and Read Apache Warrior vs US Cavalryman PDF by Sean McLachlan Full Book and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-25 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 1840s onward, United States military forces clashed with the Apache, a group of Native American peoples associated with the southwestern part of North America. US territorial expansion and conflict – first with Mexico and then during the Civil War – led to an escalation of hostilities that culminated in the defeat of the Apache leader Geronimo in 1886, although fighting continued into the 20th century. In this study the clashes at Cieneguilla (1854), First Adobe Walls (1864), and Cibecue Creek (1881) are assessed in detail. Fully illustrated and featuring contemporary accounts and specially commissioned artwork, this history examines exactly how the Apache were able to pose such a grave threat to US forces and how their initial advantages were gradually negated by the cavalry. Examining the tactics, equipment and training available to each side over four decades of evolving conflict, this is an eye-opening combatant's eye view of one of history's most intriguing campaigns.

This book was released on 2009-02-01 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poverty is one of the great challenges of the 21st century. But poverty is not new. And neither is God's deep concern for the poor--it is a theme deeply woven throughout the Bible. Yet sadly, churches and individual Christians have too often been blind to this emphasis, or they have been paralyzed into inaction by feelings of helplessness. In this urgent, provocative book, Ash Barker offers both challenge and hope. Pulling out and reflecting on significant passages from both testaments, he reveals what the Bible says about both the nature of poverty and about how God calls his people to respond. These studies, ideal for either individual or small group use, are interlaced with personal reflections--first-hand accounts from fifteen years of ministry among the poor.

This book was released on 2005-09-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Centered in New York's Hudson River Valley are a series of mysterious stone chambers and carved standing megaliths that have perplexed researchers of the paranormal and archaeologist for decades. What are the strange carvings and language written on the chambers walls? Why are these structures built over areas of negative magnetic anomalies? Scientists and historians tend to write off these structures as colonial root cellars, but authors Philip Imbrogno and Marianne Horrigan, who have researched and studied the chambers for more than ten years, believe they are evidence that the East Coast of North America was explored by people from Europe centuries before Columbus. The ancient people who constructed these chambers may have been Druids who came to the new world in search of a gateway to the world of the gods. The paranormal and UFO phenomena associated with these stone chambers suggest they may indeed be windows to another reality. "The book is a must read for anyone who is interested in the paranormal, UFOs, and ancient archeology. If you like a real life mystery, then this book will keep you enthralled from cover to cover." -- Greenwich Time Philip Imbrogno has been investigating and researching paranormal phenomena for more than thirty years. He has a BS degree in astronomy from the University of Texas, a BS degree in Earth Science from Northeastern/ Boston College, and a Masters degree in chemistry from M.I.T. He is has been a science educator for the past 25 years and has authored countless magazine articles, numerous newspaper columns, and several books on science and the paranormal. Marianne Horrigan is a paranormal researcher whose articles have appeared in Fate and UFO Universe. She has been involved in research projects at the Bowman Observatory in Greenwich, Connecticut, and has co-authored several books with Philip Imbrogno.

Kila, a young and beautiful village girl from a Christian family in the North West of Cameroon, observes the forewarning meticulously even when she is physically and mentally tormented because of her moral rectitude in a coastal town far away from her parents. However, many people ignore the warning and indulge in the pleasures of unprecedented dissolute promiscuity.

What is the cause of the plague? Who will survive the plague? Will the forewarning of Father Michael come true? Will Kila find things easy in her marriage home? Will she be a victim of the plague?

Download and Read The Origin Myth of Acoma Pueblo PDF by Edward Proctor Hunt Full Book and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-09-22 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A masterpiece of Pueblo Indian mythology, now in a restored edition Edward Proctor Hunt, a Pueblo Indian man, was born in 1861 in the mesa-top village of Acoma, New Mexico, and initiated into several secret societies, only to later break with his people’s social and reli­gious codes. In 1928, he recited his version of the origin myth of the Acoma Indians to Smithsonian Institution scholars. Hailed by many as the most accessible of all epic narratives recounting a classic Pueblo Indian story of creation, migration, and ulti­mate residence, the myth offers a unique window into Pueblo Indian cosmology and ancient history, revealing how a premodern society answered key existential questions and formed its customs. In this new edition, Peter Nabokov renders this important document into a clear sequence, adds excerpted material from the original storytelling sessions, and explores the creation and roles of such myths in Pueblo Indian cultures. The remarkable life of Edward Hunt is the subject of Peter Nabokov’s companion volume, How the World Moves, which follows Hunt and his sons on their passage from tradition to modernity as they strike out as native entrepreneurs and travelling interpreters of American Indian lore.
