Book Description
Lewis George Clarke published the story of his life as a slave in 1845, after he had escaped from Kentucky and become a well-regarded abolitionist lecturer throughout the North. His book was the first work by a slave to be acquired by the Library of Congress and copyrighted. During the 1840s he lived in the Cambridge, Massachusetts, home of Aaron and Mary Safford, where he encountered Mary's stepsister, Harriet Beecher Stowe, along with Frederick Douglass, Lewis Tappan, Gerrit Smith, Josiah Henson, John Brown, Lydia Child, and Martin Delaney. His experiences are evident in Uncle Tom's Cabin, published in 1852, and Stowe identified him as the prototype for the book's rebellious character George Harris. This facsimile edition of Clarke's book is introduced by his great grandson, Carver Clark Gayton, who has served as director of Affirmative Action Programs at the University of Washington; corporate director of educational relations and training for the Boeing Company; lecturer at the Evans School of Public Administration, University of Washington; and executive director of the Northwest African American Museum. He lives in Seattle. A V Ethel Willis White Book

Dispatches from the Mexican War
Author: George Wilkins KendallPublisher:
ISBN: 9780806131214
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 448
Book Description
Pioneering war correspondent George Wilkins Kendall (1809-67) wrote vividly from Mexico about America's first foreign war, which, after the victories of Zachary Taylor and Winfield Scott, enlarged our borders to include California, Texas, and New Mexico in the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Noted military historian Lawrence Delbert Cress has collected and annotated Kendall's more than two hundred dispatches for the first time in this single volume. Kendall brought a keen eye, a good ear, and a critical voice to the war coverage, writing sometimes several times a day as he traveled with Taylor's army in northern Mexico and with the soldiers under Scott's command who defeated Santa Anna and occupied Mexico City. His cogent reports, published in the New Orleans Picayune, reveal a dry wit, an abiding faith in America's "manifest destiny", and a clear understanding that warfare involved much more than the marching of armies. They highlight military maneuvers and their attendant supply and communication problems, the machinations of American and Mexican politics, the burdens borne by common soldiers on both sides, and the hardships endured by Mexican civilians unable to escape the hostilities. These newspaper dispatches are indispensable for an understanding of the Mexican War, which trained the generals who later served on both sides in the Civil War.
