Life in America One Hundred Years Ago (Classic Reprint) by Gaillard Hunt Pdf

Excerpt from Life in America One Hundred Years Ago Committee of One Hundred to celebrate one hundred years of peace between Great Britain and the United States at the city of Washington, and is a contribution to that celebration. It is a sketch, drawn in outline, of life and manners in the United States in the year when peace was made with Great Britain, and this nation started upon a career of separate, independent national development. I have suggested some of the causes of the development, and have portrayed the character of the people in a gen eral way. I hope I have been able to communicate some of the atmosphere of the time to my narrative. It was an invigorating atmosphere, full of life and in spiration to those who breathed it. We must believe that it was, for if it had not been we should not now rank among the great nations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Our First Hundred Years by Charles Edwards Lester Pdf

Excerpt from Our First Hundred Years: The Life of the Republic of the United States of America, Illustrated in Its Four Great Periods: Colonization, Consolidation, Development, Achievement The hlmming of the great striped-leaved Agave, or Century-plant, at Messrs. Frost Co.'s, Rochester, N. Y., is quite a noteworthy event in the history of American horticulture. This plant is supposed to be about eighty years old, having been purchased of Prince C0, Flushing, L. I., in 1809. It was then about ten years old, and has escaped all the mishaps that usually fall to the lot of such tender plants until reaching a sufficient size and age to bloom. Quite a number of the common Century-plant (agave Americana) have bloomed in the Northern States within the past half century, but this, we believe, is the first instance where the striped-leaved variety has done so consequently, it is quite a novelty. The ower stem made its appearance early last spring, and has continued to grow until it reached its pre sent height, about eighteen feet. The owers are now rapidly opening, and the plant has the appearance of an immense chandelier. An idea of the general appearance of the plant may be had from the left-hand figure in the accompanying engraving. The centre figure shows the plant on a larger scale, with a small portion of the stem, with two clusters of the owers. On the right, four of the owers and ower-buds are shown about one-half their natural size. In two, the stamens and pistil have not appeared, and in the centre figure they are fully developed, while in the fourth they are decaying. The Agaves are riot what we would call beautiful plants; for they are too coarse and rugged in appearance, but there is a stateliness about them, especially when in bloom, that commands our admiration. Even the name of the genus (agave) is derived from a Greek word, which signifies something wonder ful or admirable - Hearth and Home, September 4, 1869.

One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez Pdf

One of the twentieth century’s enduring works, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a widely beloved and acclaimed novel known throughout the world and the ultimate achievement in a Nobel Prize–winning career. The novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendía family. Rich and brilliant, it is a chronicle of life, death, and the tragicomedy of humankind. In the beautiful, ridiculous, and tawdry story of the Buendía family, one sees all of humanity, just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo, one sees all of Latin America. Love and lust, war and revolution, riches and poverty, youth and senility, the variety of life, the endlessness of death, the search for peace and truth—these universal themes dominate the novel. Alternately reverential and comical, One Hundred Years of Solitude weaves the political, personal, and spiritual to bring a new consciousness to storytelling. Translated into dozens of languages, this stunning work is no less than an account of the history of the human race.
