Napoleon Bonaparte; Letter from the general Dumouriez to

Charles-François Dumouriez (), general. Letter with handwritten signature & handwritten document, Hamburg (Denmark), 10 October quarto (28 lines) p & 3 p quarto (85 lines). EXCEPTIONAL letter to the general Buonaparte accompanied by a 3 p handwritten document that should have been published. « Général Buonaparte, On vient de m’assurer que vous aviez arreté la publication d’un ouvrage en 4 volumes imprimé à Paris contre moy. Si cela est, je vous dois des remerciements, & rien n’est plus agréable pour moy que de vous avoir cette obligation. Si cela n’est pas, je suis mon inclination en vous écrivant. » He praises Buonaparte whose « le génie a rendu à la France sa splendeur ». He has been living off his pen for seven years, without « solde ou pension d’aucun souverain étranger ». He announces the release of a book, never published, from which he gives an extract from the warning cencerning Buonaparte and continues to praise him, ending his letter by « Quand vous aurez lû cet extrait, vous serez convaincu que personne ne désire plus réellement votre gloire & votre bonheur que le général DuMouriez ». The extract of the warning goes in the same direction. He has « toujours justice à son génie » and talks about « l’époque où la calomnie cherchait à diminuer le mérite de cet homme célèbre ». He even a biography of Buonaparte, who profited from the purchase of Corsica, otherwise « il eut été toute sa vie un être turbulent, ignorant & obscur. Son génie s’est déployé à l’Ecole Militaire. […] C’està la bonté du Roy de France […] qu’il doit tout ce qu’il est ». This document shows also all the faithfulness of Dumouriez « Royalisme […] indestructible en France », calling even repeatedly Buonaparte to restore the Prince legitimate on the throne. The last sentence is eloquent: « Puisse enfin Buonaparte, après avoir été le vainqueur de l’Europe, écraser le monstre hideux de l’Anarchie, & être reconnu dans tous les siècles comme le restaurateur de l’autorité légitime, l’appuy du trône, & le bienfaiteur de sa patrie et de l’Univers ! ».UNIQUENote that the end of , Dumouriez offers his services to Russia, who will refuse, taking a stand for France. He will go into exile in England. Read More

Exodus from the Alamo: The Anatomy of the Last Stand Myth

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Tucker, Phillip Thomas, PUBLISHER: Casemate Publishers and Book Distributors, A startling new analysis of one of America's most glorious battles... Contrary to movie and legend, we now know that the defenders of the Alamo in the war for Texan independence-including Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie and William B. Travis-did not die under brilliant sunlight, defending their positions against hordes of Mexican infantry. Instead the Mexicans launched a predawn attack, surmounting the walls in darkness, forcing a wild melee inside the fort before many of its defenders had even awoken. In this book, Dr. Tucker, after deep research into recently discovered Mexican accounts and the forensic evidence, informs us that the traditional myth of the Alamo is even more off-base: most of the Alamo's defenders died in breakouts from the fort, cut down by Santa Anna's cavalry that had been pre-positioned to intercept the escapees. To be clear, a number of the Alamo's defenders hung on inside the fort, fighting back every way they could. Captain Dickinson, with cannon atop the chapel (in which his wife hid), fired repeatedly into the Mexican throng of enemy cavalry until he was finally cut down. The controversy on Crockett still remains, though the recently authenticated diary of the Mexican de la Pena offers evidence that he surrendered. The most startling aspect of this book is that most of the Texans, in two gallantly led groups, broke out of the fort after the enemy had broken in, and the primary fights took place on the plain outside. Still fighting desperately, the Texans' retreat was halted by cavalry, and afterward Mexican lancers plied their trade with bloodcurdling charges into the midst of the remaining resisters. Notoriously, Santa Anna burned the bodies of the Texans who had dared stand against him. As this book proves in thorough detail, the funeral pyres were well outside the fort-that is, where the two separate groups of escapers fell on the plain, rather than in the Alamo itself.

Chicle: The Chewing Gum of the Americas, from the Ancient

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mathews, Jennifer P. / Schultz, Gillian P., PUBLISHER: University of Arizona Press, Although Juicy FruitA(R) gum was introduced to North Americans in , Native Americans in Mesoamerica were chewing gum thousands of years earlier. And although in the last decade abiographiesa have been devoted to salt, spices, chocolate, coffee, and other staples of modern life, until now there has never been a full history of chewing gum. Chicle is a history in four acts, all of them focused on the sticky white substance that seeps from the sapodilla tree when its bark is cut. First, Jennifer Mathews recounts the story of chicle and its earliest-known adherents, the Maya and Aztecs. Second, with the assistance of botanist Gillian Schultz, Mathews examines the sapodilla tree itself, an extraordinarily hardy plant that is native only to Mesoamerica and the Caribbean. Third, Mathews presents the fascinating story of the chicle and chewing gum industry over the last hundred plus years, a tale (like so many twentieth-century tales) of greed, growth, and collapse. In closing, Mathews considers the plight of the chicleros, the aextractorsa who often work by themselves tapping trees deep in the forests, and how they have emerged as icons of local pop cultureaportrayed as fearless, hard-drinking brawlers, people to be respected as well as feared. Before DentyneA(R) and ChicletsA(R), before bubble gum comic strips and the DoublemintA(R) twins, there was gum, oozing from jungle trees like melting candle wax under the slash of a machete. Chicle tells us everything that happened next. It is a spellbinding story.
