Description:
1835 1ed American West INDIANS Ohio Valley Melville Hall 2v Sketches of History

James Hall's 'Sketches of History, Life and Manners' is a fascinating 1835 account of life in the American West. Beginning in the early 19th-century, Americans began migrating westward encountering early European settlements, Native American Indian tribes, and dangerous animals and health threats. This book provides important details on new states finding statehood, as well as civil institutions being established throughout the American west. It should also be noted that this book was the primary source for Herman Melville's book 'The Confidence Man'.
Notes from Field on this book:
"Narratives of frontier warfare with the Indians, and incidents of Indian life, fill almost all the pages of these interesting volumes."
Per Flanagan,
"a rather detailed account of the first trans-Allegheny explorations, with ample treatment of the early French settlements and the infiltration of the Scotch-Irish Pioneers into Kentucky and… Read More

1658 CRUSADES Apology Bernard Clairvaux Considerations Pope Eugene III Knights
"The road to hell is paved with good intentions."
― Bernard of Clairvaux
Bernard of Clairvaux was an 11th-century Cistercian monk who helped shape the Rule of the Knights Templar. His sermons were numerous and hundreds of them survived in written form. Amongst his other known writings are letters, apologies, dogmas, defenses of the Catholic Church, and treatises designed for teaching young believers.
Saint Bernard's work, 'Book of Considerations', was written as an apology to Pope Eugene III for the failure of the Second Crusade, of which he felt responsible. In it, he explains how the sins of the crusaders were the cause of the failure of the crusade.
This 1658 edition was collected and edited by Odet-Philippe Des Mares.

v+321 pages. Small octavo (7 3/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's black cloth with gilt lettering to cover and spine. First British edition. St. Ives: Being The Adventures of a French Prisoner in England (1897) is an unfinished novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was completed in 1898 by Arthur Quiller-Couch. Unable to write, Stevenson dictated thirty chapters of the novel to his stepdaughter as a diversion from his debilitating illness. He alternated dictating St. Ives and The Weir of Hermiston but gradually lost interest in the former. The plot concerns the adventures of the dashing Capitaine Jacques St. Ives, a Napoleonic soldier, after his capture by the British. Condition: Corners bumped and rubbed, shelf wear, hinges and spine heal moderately rubbed, previous owner's name on front end paper else a very good copy.
