Book Description
Dolly kept her diary from 1954 until 1975, documenting her life in north-central Minnesota. If you have wondered what it was like to live without electricity, running water or telephones, her story will give you an insight. Between these pages is the story of her daily toil, her family's love, and how they survived after leaving Chicago. The Schumacher family blazed trails through the forest and did their best to make passable roads by using ingenuity and used equipment. They fished and hunted for food, often using the meat for trade for things they did not have. For instance, out on the prairie near them was a dairy farm where they could purchase or trade for eggs and chickens. When a cow was butchered, Bob would help and would get part of the cow instead of money, plus he saved the tail, heart, liver, kidneys and tongue. Dolly would carefully package her roasts, make many kinds of German sausages and would pickle some of it so it would keep. In the winter, of course, they would keep the meat up on the roof so the wolves wouldn't get it. In the summer, there was an ice-house full of sawdust from their portable sawmill and blocks of ice cut from the lake when it was at its thickest in mid-winter, and perishables could be kept there until the next cold snap. The two little resorts they carved out of the wilderness became a second home to people from all over the region and many of those people ended up to be life-long friends. There is no intrigue here, no great scary bear attacks, just a plain, simple and straight-forward diary transcribed by Dolly's Granddaughter in order to preserve them. Spring, summer and fall were chock full of work and lots of fun-especially when it came to meeting new people. Winters were long, the temperatures extreme and it was lonely sometimes, but Bob and Dolly stuck together and showed everyone who would notice what a true partnership in life is like. Through it all, there was always plenty to eat and lots of laughter. This writer once asked the family if we were considered poor. After thinking for a while, I was told that, while we may not have much money, we were rich because we had each other and we had everything we really needed.

Book Description
Dolly kept her diary from 1954 until 1975, documenting her life in north-central Minnesota. This is the second part of her journey, faithfully transcribed by her granddaughter. The little resort was running at full tilt now, and we hear about lasting friendships and lots of new friends being made. Bud and Bob worked with the rural electric company, blazing a pathway through the forest to make way for the electric line and the resort was the final stop for that. The phone lines went up quickly, used by several small resorts and farmers who lived on the Ponsford prairie. Both the power and the phones weren't always reliable, but people were grateful to have them. Here, then, is the rest of Dolly's story.

Book Description
Having moved from Maine with her physician husband in the 1840s, Dolly lost her husband and her only living child to illness by the time she began the diary at age thirty. A devout and self-sufficient schoolteacher, she soon married her second husband, Thomas Burge, a planter and widowed father of four. Upon his death in 1858, Dolly ran the plantation independently through the Civil War, remaining on the land during Sherman's infamous march through the area. After making the transition from slave labor to tenant farming, Dolly was married a third and final time to the Rev. William Parks, a prominent Methodist minister.

Book Description
Written by Chinese Jurist Mei Ju-ao, this significant book considers both the process and the impact of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, otherwise known as the Tokyo Trial, which was convened in 1946 to try political military leaders accused of involvement in war crimes. Offering valuable research material on the establishment of the tribunal, it examines the background to the establishment of the International Military Tribunal and the lessons learned from earlier trials of World War One War Criminals. Written from the perspective of a Chinese prosecutor who was both jurist and witness, this unique text engages with the Tokyo Trial from an interdisciplinary perspective bringing in both international law and international relations, measuring over 7 decades later the significance and ongoing legacy of the Tokyo Trial for contemporary international criminal justice in Asia and beyond..

Book Description
Meandering plots, dead ends, and repetition, diaries do not conform to literary expectations, yet they still manage to engage the reader, arouse empathy and elicit emotional responses that many may be more inclined to associate with works of fiction. Blurring the lines between literary genres, diary writing can be considered a quasi-literary genre that offers a unique insight into the lives of those we may have otherwise never discovered. This edited volume examines how diarists, poets, writers, musicians, and celebrities use their diary to reflect on multiculturalism and intercultural relations. Within this book, multiculturalism is defined as the sociocultural experiences of underrepresented groups who fall outside the mainstream of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and language. Multiculturalism reflects different cultures and racial groups with equal rights and opportunities, equal attention and representation without assimilation. In America, the multicultural society includes various cultural and ethnic groups that do not necessarily have engaging interaction with each other whereas, importantly, intercultural is a community of cultures who learn from each other, and have respect and understand different cultures. Presented as a collection of academic essays and creative writing, The Diary as Literature Through the Lens of Multiculturalism in America analyses diary writing in its many forms from oral diaries and memoirs to letters and travel writing. Divided into three sections: Diaries of the American Civil War, Diaries of Trips and Letters of Diaspora, and Diaries of Family, Prison Lyrics, and a Memoir, the contributors bring a range of expertise to this quasi-literary genre including comparative and transatlantic literature, composition and rhetoric, history and women and gender studies.
