St. Vincent Ferrer by Rev. Fr. Andrew Pradel Pdf

Commissioned by Our Lord Himself to preach His Gospel, St. Vincent began at age 50 an apostolate of preaching that would extend to France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Germany and a few other countries as well. Travelling with him were as many as 10,000 people, including at least 50 priests. The throngs that gathered to hear him came from many miles around, such that he was forced to preach in the open--no church being large enough to hold all the people.

Ghosts of St. Vincent's by Tom Eubanks Pdf

"Before the entitled lived here exclusively, the marginalized died in droves." Founded in 1849 to care for indigent immigrants in Greenwich Village, St. Vincent's Hospital was sold in 2010 to create multi-million-dollar homes. In its 161 years of existence, the legendary institution treated survivors of the Titanic, tended to victims of both World Trade Center attacks, and served as Ground Zero of the AIDS Crisis. With honesty, humor, and flights of historical fancy, GHOSTS OF ST. VINCENT'S tells the hospital's story through the eyes of a man who spent a winter on its 7th floor AIDS ward and survived just in time for the drug "cocktail" that saved so many lives. Featuring appearances by indomitable icons (from Edna St. Vincent Millay to Robert Mapplethorpe, Sidney Lumet to Vito Russo, Ed Koch and The Ramones), GHOSTS OF ST. VINCENT'S explores coming out and coming back from the dead, gender fluidity and gentrification, the price of forgiveness, the cost of survival, and the ephemeral nature of New York City.

Admiral Lord St. Vincent: Saint or Tyrant? by James D.G. Davidson Pdf

This biography of John Jervis, who became Admiral Lord Vincent, makes compelling reading. It throws an oblique light on Nelsons personality. St Vincent, who was born twenty-three years before Nelson, and survived for eighteen years after Trafalgar, fundamentally influenced the younger mans career despite the two men being diametrically different characters. Yet without him, Nelsons genius might have been submerged by professional jealousy or emotional fragility.It was St Vincents strategy and preparation which positioned Nelson to win his three famous victories, but St Vincent himself made vital contributions not only to the defeat of Napoleon but to the well-being of the Royal Navy. Before he became First Lord of the Admiralty, the Navy had been severely weakened by corruption in the dockyards, nepotism in appointments and the appalling conditions under which the seamen lived and worked.St Vincent deserves the profound gratitude of the Nation; not only for enabling Nelson to exercise his tactical brilliance, but also for the role he played in preventing Napoleon from invading the British Isles.

Savage Beauty by Nancy Milford Pdf

Thirty years after the smashing success of Zelda, Nancy Milford returns with a stunning second act. Savage Beauty is the portrait of a passionate, fearless woman who obsessed American ever as she tormented herself. If F. Scott Fitzgerald was the hero of the Jazz Age, Edna St. Vincent Millay, as flamboyant in her love affairs as she was in her art, was its heroine. The first woman ever to win the Pulitzer Prize, Millay was dazzling in the performance of herself. Her voice was likened to an instrument of seduction and her impact on crowds, and on men, was legendary. Yet beneath her studied act, all was not well. Milford calls her book "a family romance"—for the love between the three Millay sisters and their mother was so deep as to be dangerous. As a family, they were like real-life Little Women, with a touch of Mommie Dearest. Nancy Milford was given exclusive access to Millay's papers, and what she found was an extraordinary treasure. Boxes and boxes of letter flew back and forth among the three sisters and their mother—and Millay kept the most intimate diary, one whose ruthless honesty brings to mind Sylvia Plath. Written with passion and flair, Savage Beauty is an iconic portrait of a woman's life.

The Life of John Jervis – Admiral Lord St Vincent by Captain W. V. Anson R.N. Pdf

Amongst the heroic figures of the Royal Navy of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars; Admiral Nelson stands out from a number of great men. Without Lord St. Vincent, it is difficult to imagine how Horatio Nelson would have been afforded the latitude he needed for his victories. Before Nelson flew his pennant in the Victory, Sir John Jervis would lead that ship and his squadron, of which Nelson was a conspicuous part, to huge success at the battle of Cape St. Vincent that would earn Jervis his earldom. John Jervis ran away to join the Navy at the tender age of 13. After much time spent on board ships in the Caribbean, he worked his way up the ladder of promotion - from seaman to first lieutenant - before he was assigned to the expedition under General Wolfe to Canada, during which he impressed all with his conduct. At the outbreak of the wars with France, Sir John Jervis was a vice-admiral of long service and huge experience, his various postings around the fleet - along with his crowning achievement at the battle of St. Vincent - all captured in this biography. Although greatly outnumbered, his determination to bring the enemy to battle was the foundation of the aggressive self-confidence carried by the Royal Navy for many years to come. Stern disciplinarian when confronted by mutiny in the fleet, he nevertheless had a softer side which was indulged when he saw a deserving case of a man in dire straits. On his elevation to the post of First Lord of the Admiralty, his determination to improve the efficiency of the Navy and the lot of the common sailor gained him a great reputation among the Navy of the day. A first-rate biography. Illustrations – 10 portraits and 4 battle plans.

An Historical Account of the Island of St Vincent by Charles Shepard Pdf

Charles Shephard, a legal officer of the island of Saint Vincent, made no attempt at objectivity in his account of the great 1795 Carib rebellion, this book being dedicated to the British survivors. But having had access to several contemporary diaries and having interviewed survivors, he was able to correct and expand the narratives of Bryan Edwards and Dr Coke, making this work the most detailed account of the overthrow of a unique people.
