In coastal towns like New Bern and Wilmington, slaves were secreted aboard ships in search of freedom along maritime routes.

Italians Of The North End - A History Of Grit, Perseverance & Tradition

de Patricia Annino

8,66€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The North End - Boston's Little Italy - is an enclave with a rich history and a culture rooted in family, food and faith. Once home to hardworking immigrant families from Italy, it was also the neighborhood of Sacco and Vanzetti, Charles Ponzi and Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy. Organizations like the North End Industrial Home and the North Benet Street School helped to educate and serve the community. With St. Leonard's of Port Maurice Church at its heart, la via vecchia (the old way) is woven through its narrow, winding streets, brick buildings, restaurants and pastry shops. Today, neighbors and tourists alike meet for coffee and cannolis, unaware of the neighborhood's complex history. Local author and resident Patricia Annino reveals the resilient journey from one of America's poorest slums to a place of opportunity.

Galveston'S Juneteenth Story - And Still We Rise

de Alice Gatson, Galveston Historical Foundation, Jami Durham, Tommie Boudreaux e W. Dwayne Jones

8,66€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Galveston was the birthplace of Juneteenth. Issued in Galveston on June 19, 1865, General Orders, No. 3 announced to the people of Texas that all slaves were free. It is one of the Island's most important historical moments. Although Juneteenth has now become the basis for a national holiday, many Americans wonder how and why this date emerged as the basis for the oldest continually celebrated commemoration of the end of slavery. To even begin to answer these questions, it is necessary to return to the historic roots of the event itself. The Galveston Historical Foundation's African American Heritage Committee tracks Emancipation Day observances through previously unknown images and untold stories which are also part of an interactive exhibit experience at Ashton Villa, the site of Galveston's city-wide Juneteenth celebration.

Wampanoag Tribe Of Martha'S Vineyard, The - Colonization To Recognition

de Thomas Dresser

11,22€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head/Aquinnah are an indigenous people on Martha's Vineyard. From their legendary giant leader Moshup, Wampanoags can trace their ancestry back more than ten thousand years. The tribe weathered colonization by missionaries in the 1600s, then endured two centuries of domination, only to have their land taken in 1870. However, over the past 140 years, the Wampanoag Tribe, which still lives in its ancestral home of Aquinnah, has shown endurance and fortitude as it continues to practice traditional crafts and its tribal heritage. Thomas Dresser captures the spirit of the tribe, tracing its survival through to recognition by the federal government in 1987, nearly twenty-five years ago. Brief interviews with elders and current tribal members offer insight into the tribe's remarkable history.

Origins Of Crow Agencies In Montana - Transitioning Beyond The Buffalo

de Ms. Patty Molinaro

8,44€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 " We do not know how to commence farming, but we are all willing to try ."--Crow leader Iron Bull On May 7, 1868, the Treaty of Fort Laramie forever altered the Crow way of life, defining reservation boundaries and establishing a federal agency. Initially stationed at Fort Parker in 1869, the agency headquarters was later moved to Absaroka in 1875. These early agencies faced numerous challenges including the rapid westward expansion, violations of the treaty, land negotiations, railroad construction, educational obstacles, and a dwindling buffalo population. This situation necessitated the Crows to adopt farming, thought idyllic for transitioning them into American society. Faced with hunger and new struggles of subsistence, Crow leaders chose to adapt the skills necessary to sustain their tribe. Author Patty Molinaro recounts the shifting boundaries and historic pivotal period for the Crow nation.
