Book Description
History/American Studies GREAT MOMENTS IN U.S. HISTORY...THROUGH THE EYES OF THE PEOPLE WHO CREATED IT Some of the names we know: Sacajawea, the Indian girl who guided Lewis and Clark through the wilderness...Sojourner Truth, the ex-slave who became a leading advocate for the rights of women and blacks...Julia Ward Howe, inspired to write "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." Others could have been lost to history: Harriet Wilson, the first black American novelist...the first men to earn the Purple Heart...Alice Ramsey, the first woman to drive a car across the U.S. Jane McCaw has uncovered their stories. In this collection of 44 traditional and free-verse ballads covering Colonial times through 1909, the 89-year-old author gives readers an intimate glance at the unsung heroines and heroes of our history. Many of them are women, many are not white, and some, like the eagle who led battle charges in the Civil War or the horses that made the Pony Express a reality, are not even human. If you are interested in American history, patriotism, women's studies, or the experience of different cultures in the American melting pot, pick up this book and start your journey through American history, through the experiences of the people who took part in those events. It will be a journey to remember! Recommended for ages 10-adult

Warrior Women and Popular Balladry, 1650-1850

Book Description
Masquerading as a man, seeking adventure, going to war or to sea for love and glory, the transvestite heroine flourished in all kinds of literature, especially ballads, from the Renaissance to the Victorian age. Warrior Women and Popular Balladry, 1650-1850 identifies this heroine and her significance as a figure in folklore, and as a representative of popular culture, prompting important reevaluations of gender and sexuality. Dugaw has uncovered a fascination with women cross-dressers in the popular literature of early modern Europe and America. Surveying a wide range of Anglo-American texts from popular ballads and chapbook life histories to the comedies and tragedies of aristocratic literature, she demonstrates the extent to which gender and sexuality are enacted as constructs of history.
