Bowie Knife Fights, Fighters and Fighting Techniques
Author: Paul Kirchner
Publisher: Paladin Press
ISBN: 9781581607420
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 390
Book Description
In 1827, James Bowie carved his way into American history at the Sandbar Fight, and soon every fighting man of the South and West had to have a knife like his. The bowie knife could cut like a razor, chop like a cleaver, and stab like a sword, and many considered it deadlier than a pistol at close range. So great was the dread it inspired that by 1838 it was banned in several states—a ban that did little to stanch the flow of blood. Bowie's story is well known, but what of the other cutters and stabbers of his day? Gunfighters have long been celebrated, but those who fought with the bowie knife have been largely ignored—until now. Unearthing accounts from memoirs, court records, regional histories, and newspaper archives, Paul Kirchner, author of the Paladin bestsellers The Deadliest Men and More of the Deadliest Men Who Ever Lived , presents their stories for the first time in Bowie Knife Fights, Fighters, and Fighting Techniques. Kirchner identifies and profiles the four greatest bowie knife fighters of history, as well as numerous other wielders of the blade. He details the weapon's use in the Texas War of Independence, the Mormon exodus, the Mexican War, the slave system, the Gold Rush, Bleeding Kansas, the Civil War, the Lincoln assassination, the Indian Wars, and the Western frontier. The book describes bowie knife fighting tricks and techniques and provides numerous accounts of knife-against-knife and knife-against-gun encounters. Its final chapter surveys the continued use of the bowie and other fighting knives in modern warfare.

Russian/Soviet Studies in the United States, Amerikanistika in Russia
Author: Ivan Kurilla
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 1498517994
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
The contributors in this interdisciplinary collection address the problem of interconnection between the study of the “Other,” either Russian or American, and the shaping of national identities in the two countries at different stages of US–Russian relations. The focus of research interests were typically determined by the political and social debates in scholars’ native countries. In this book, leading Russian and American scholars analyze the problems arising from these intersections of academic, political, and sociocultural contexts and the implicit biases they entail. The book is divided into two parts, the first being a historical overview of past configurations of the interrelationship between fields and agendas, and the second covering the role of institutionalized area studies in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.In both parts the role of the “human factor” in the study of mutual representations is elucidating.

Blood Brothers
Author: Randy Roberts
Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 046509323X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 394
Book Description
An “engrossing and important book" (Wall Street Journal) that brings to life the fateful friendship between Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali In 1962, boxing writers and fans considered Cassius Clay an obnoxious self-promoter, and few believed that he would become the heavyweight champion of the world. But Malcolm X, the most famous minister in the Nation of Islam, saw the potential in Clay, not just for boxing greatness, but as a means of spreading the Nation’s message. The two became fast friends, keeping their interactions secret from the press for fear of jeopardizing Clay’s career. Clay began living a double life—a patriotic “good negro” in public, and a radical reformer behind the scenes. Soon, however, their friendship would sour, with disastrous and far-reaching consequences. Based on previously untapped sources, from Malcolm’s personal papers to FBI records, Blood Brothers is the first book to offer an in-depth portrait of this complex bond. An extraordinary narrative of love and deep affection, as well as deceit, betrayal, and violence, this story is a window into the public and private lives of two of our greatest national icons, and the tumultuous period in American history that they helped to shape.

Book Description
Excerpt from Speech of Cassius M. Clay Before the Law Department of the University of Albany, N. Y: February 3, 1863 The founders of our Republic were not ignorant of this fact: and, in the enacting clause of the Constitution, they declared one of its great objects to be, to establish justice. Tautological was it then in them to include liberty, among their purposes. For, without justice, there is no liberty; and what is liberty but justice - which, perceiv ing the true relation of all things, obeys them? Theseeternal relations of things are laws. Well may it then be said, that without law, there is no liberty. I stand before you the defender of law. A citizen of the United States, and a Republican, I would vindicate my party, and my country; for I believe they are one. I stand by the Union, the Constitution, and the laws. T 116 Constitution as it is. The Union as our designed it: as it ought to be: based not upon injustice, usurping the name of law; but truly upon the law of nature, and of nature's God. First, then, we claim the name of Republican, be cause it best represents what we are; it is a good name: let us never abandon it It is not our fault, in this crisis of life and death to the nation, that party names and party organizations are revived. I ardently hoped that, in this struggle for our national being, all citizens of the United States of America would have stood for them, in support of their chosen powers that -be. But the Democratic party has decreed otherwise: and we have nothing left but to accept the issue. I accept it with reluctance, but not with fear. I have no personal enmities to avenge the friends of my country are my friends: the enemies of my country are my enemies. If we are right, we will stand if we are wrong, we will fall. It is a signifi cant fact, that, the foes of our Republic abroad, in the rebel States, and in our Northern homes, all take common ground against us.
