Life in the Leatherwoods is one of the country's most delightful childhood memoirs, penned by an Ozark native with a keen, observant eye and a gift for narrative. John Quincy Wolf's relaxed style and colorful characters resemble those of another chronicler of nineteenth-century rural life, Laura Ingalls Wilder. Wolf's acerbic wit and lucid prose infuse the White River pioneers of his story with such life that the reader participates vicariously in their log rollings, house-raisings, spelling bees, hog killings, soap making, country dances, and camp meetings. Originally published by Memphis State University Press in 1974, this new edition includes additional writings of John Q. Wolf and a continuation of the autobiographical narrative after his 1887 move to Batesville. Wolf's writings are valuable resources for southern historians, folklorists, general readers, and scholars of Ozarkiana because they provide a rare glimpse into the social and family life of a largely misunderstood and stereotyped people—the independent hill farmers of the Arkansas Ozarks of the 1870s and 1880s. With Life in the Leatherwoods, Wolf bestows a benediction upon a society that existed vibrantly and humorously in his memory—one that has now forever disappeared from the American countryside.

A Yankee guerrillero: Frederick Funston and the Cuban insurrection, 1896-1897

Crouch, Thomas W

<p>Η ποιητική σύνθεση του Κωστή Παλαμά ο Δωδεκάλογος του Γύφτου εκδόθηκε το 1907 και αποτελείται από δώδεκα λόγους. Θα μπορούσαμε να ισχυριστούμε ότι αποτελεί την κορυφαία ίσως έκφραση της «λυρικής σκέψης» του ποιητή. Η υπόθεση εκτυλίσσεται στα χρόνια της Αλώσεως του Βυζαντίου, περίοδος που σηματοδοτεί ευρύτερες εξελίξεις σε Ευρώπη και Ανατολή, περίοδος που η σκυτάλη παραδίδεται στην Αναγεννησιακή σκέψη. Αυτήν ακριβώς τη χρονική στιγμή τοποθετείται ο ερχομός των Γύφτων και του Γύφτου. Βάρβαροι μεν, με ειρηνικές προθέσεις δε... Η ιερή πόλη του ελληνισμού, η Κωνσταντινούπολη, το σταυροδρόμι της τότε οικουμένης, γίνεται το σύμβολο του παλαιού κόσμου που πεθαίνει και δίνει τη θέση του στο νέο κόσμο. Ο Γύφτος αν και γέννημα μίας ταραγμένης εποχής, αισθάνεται ότι κρύβει μέσα του την ελπίδα του μέλλοντος... Στο πνευματικό του οδοιπορικό θα συγκρουστεί με αξίες όπως η αγάπη, η πατρίδα, οι θεοί, η αρχαιότητα και το Βυζάντιο... Δεν ξέρει από πού είναι, μα μόνο ότι βλάστησε ανυπότακτος, φύση ελεύθερη, οδεύοντας προς μία μελλοντική κοινωνία στηριγμένη σε μία νέα ανθρωπογονία...</p>
