ISBN: 9780803296015
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"Nephew of Sitting Bull, chief of the Sioux, Pte San Hunka (White Bull) was a famous warrior in his own right. ... On the afternoon of June 25, 1876, five troops of the U.S. Seventh Cavalry under the command of George Armstrong Custer rode into the valley of Little Big Horn River, confidently expecting to rout the Indian encampments there. Instea, the cavalry met the gathered strength of Sioux and Cheyenne warriors, who did not run as expected but turned the battle toward the soldiers. White Bull charged again and again, fighting until the last soldier was dead. The battle was Custer's Last Stand, and White Bull was later referred to as the warrior who killed Custer. In 1932 White Bull related his life story to Stanley Vestal, who corroborated the details from other sources and prepared this biography."--

The Flaming Womb
Author: Barbara Watson Andaya
Publisher: University of Hawaii Press
ISBN: 0824829557
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
The Princess of the Flaming Womb, the Javanese legend that introduces this pioneering study, symbolizes the many ambiguities attached to femaleness in Southeast Asian societies. Yet, despite these ambiguities, the relatively egalitarian nature of male-female relations in Southeast Asia is central to arguments claiming a coherent identity for the region. This challenging work by senior scholar Barbara Watson Andaya considers such contradictions while offering a thought-provoking view of Southeast Asian history that focuses on women's roles and perceptions. Andaya explores the broad themes of the early modern era (1500-1800) - the introduction of new religions, major economic shifts, changing patterns of state control, the impact of elite lifestyles and behaviors - drawing on an extraordinary range of sources and citing numerous examples from Thai, Vietnamese, Burmese, Philippine, and Malay societies.

Wigwam and War-path

Pages : 752
Book Description
From introduction: "The chapter in our National History which tells our dealings with the Indian tribes, from Plymouth to San Francisco, will be one of the darkest and most disgraceful in our annals. Fraud and oppression, hypocrisy and violence, open, high handed robbery and sly cheating, the swindling agent and the brutal soldier turned into a brigand, buying promotion by pandering to the hate and fears of the settlers, avarice and indifference to human life, and lust for territory, all play their parts in the drama. Except the Negro, no race will lift up, at the judgement seat, such accusing hands against this nation as the Indian."
