Book Description
Before the American Civil War, the term "jayhawker" referred to the intrepid pioneers with more gumption than good sense who streamed out to California to make their fortune in 1849.This is one man's true story of youthful exuberance, frightening near misses, near starvation, and, the thrill of the hunt for gold. Despite getting out some fairly good hauls of several pounds of gold a day, like most jayhawkers, Dow eventually had no fortune to show for it. But Dow Stephens does have one whale of a story to tell and he was successful in some of his business dealings. In his simple prose (misspellings retained), he conveys the hardships, excitement, and once-in-a-lifetime adventure that was his journey across the continent, a voyage to the Sandwich Islands, and later a trip up to Alaska to prospect.He settled in San Jose but never seemed to be done with adventure. He ranched, farmed, ran businesses, went to Alaska, and became well-known for his writing. All in all, you'll find the adventurous life of Dow Stephens to be a rollicking good true story.

Book Description
Solider, politician, miner, pioneer, scion of a Founding Father, William Stephen Hamilton led a prolific life. Rough Diamond: The Life of Colonel William Stephen Hamilton examines the tumultuous early Republic period of American history through the life of Alexander Hamilton's son. Born in New York in 1797, the fifth son of Alexander Hamilton, he was only seven when his father was infamously killed in a duel with Vice President Aaron Burr. After resigning from West Point, Hamilton moved to frontier Illinois in 1817. The famous name of Hamilton that may have acquired him rank and prestige at one time was meaningless in a Midwestern frontier society driven by the Jacksonians. Yet, despite being hurled into a clash of economic, political, and cultural cultures, Hamilton determined to live his life by his own rules. A veteran of the Winnebago and Black Hawk Wars, Hamilton was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives before moving to the Wisconsin territory, where he founded the mining town of Hamilton's Diggings (Wiota, WI). When gold was discovered in California in 1848, he traveled west, where he would die in Sacramento in 1850. In Rough Diamond: The Life of Colonel William Stephen Hamilton, author A. K. Fielding expands the story of the Hamilton family. Hamilton's life offers a firsthand account of the formation of the Midwestern states, the realities of life on the frontier, and mass migration caused by the California Gold Rush.

Book Description
The stories captured in this compelling new collection reveal that US history cannot be understood apart from our relationship to food. Beginning with Native American folktales that document foundational food habits and ending with contemporary discussions about how to obtain adequate, healthful, and ethical nutrition, this volume shows that the quest for food has always been about more than physical nourishment, demonstrating how changing attitudes about issues ranging from patriotism and gender to technology and race all affect how we set our table and satisfy our appetites.
