"A Gold Rush Tragedy" - A never before published firsthand account of gold rush life.
Going to California in the 1850's was as dangerous as standing bare-assed in a nest of rattlers Many travelers turned back, many only stayed a short time and went home... and some died. Most were sore disappointed to the outcomes.
When George Hollingsworth and his brother B.S. set out from Missouri in 1850, leaving his wife and four children behind, he promised his time away would be worth it. His letters to Elizabeth describe dreams of a comfortable life -- if he could just endure the journey and stake his claim.
George's story is one of many who sought to ease their suffering back home by striking gold in California. But why did they do it? What was the experience of crossing those rugged plains and mountains? And why did so many people return from California empty-handed, if they returned at all?
This never before published account gives us a glimpse into the heart and mind of America in the 1800s -- into the brutal realities and the strength of character it took to face them head-on. "A Gold Rush Tragedy" will have you laugh, shake your head, and question life's decisions.
George spent four years in California - mining, starting a ranchero, dabbling in commerce, carpentry, logging, and homesteading 100 acres in San Francisco trying to make a go of it. The author, Lee Hollingsworth, gives an entertaining and rich look at life through the eyes of George and numerous other diarists complete with over 140 pictures and images from an era long gone.
"A Gold Rush Tragedy" is a must read for one of the largest migration of people across our country that set the stage for California and the nation's greatness.

Описание: The 'death of tragedy' in the modern era has been proposed and debated in recent years, largely in terms of literature and western culture in general. Today, any catastrophe or misadventure is likely to be labeled a 'tragedy', without any inference of a larger, transcendent horizon or providential design that the word once conveyed. This book offers new perspectives on the idea of the "death of tragedy", taking England and the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in particular as a case study. Chapters focus on the origins of tragedy in ancient Greece, gospel and tragedy, the beginnings of the Quaker movement in seventeenth-century England, apocalyptic versus secularized experiences of time, Edwardian Quaker triumphalism, the search for English identity in postcolonial Britain, liberal Quakerism at the end of the twentieth century, the promise and dilemma of postmodernity. The different disciplinary perspectives of the contributing authors bring literature, history, theology and sociology into a creative and revealing conversation. A Foreword by Richard Fenn introduces the book with an original and provocative meditation on tragedy and time.

Описание: Shakespeare was not only aware of the socio-cultural fears and anxieties generated by the older woman’s body but with the characterization of his tragic ageing females, Shakespeare becomes the first literary giant to explore the physiological and psychosocial condition that we have come to know as ‘menopause’. Although ‘menopause’ was not defined as a medical, physiological or sociocultural event for the early moderns, this book argues that such a medical and cultural transition can, in fact, be identified by sub-textual clues distinguished by various embodied anxieties. It explores several ageing women of the Shakespearean tragedies as they transition through this liminal menopausal period. Theoretically underscored by humoral theory, the analysis is metonymically centered upon the womb as the seat of menopausal anxiety. These menopausal undercurrents, not only permeate the dramatic action of each play, but also emanate outward to reflect the medical, physiological, cultural, social, and religious concerns generated by the ageing woman of the early modern period at large.

Описание:
Omens of Adversity is a profound critique of the experience of postcolonial, postsocialist temporality. The case study at its core is the demise of the Grenada Revolution (1979–1983), and the repercussions of its collapse. In the Anglophone Caribbean, the Grenada Revolution represented both the possibility of a break from colonial and neocolonial oppression, and hope for egalitarian change and social and political justice. The Revolution's collapse in 1983 was devastating to a revolutionary generation. In hindsight, its demise signaled the end of an era of revolutionary socialist possibility. Omens of Adversity is not a history of the Revolution or its fallout. Instead, by examining related texts and phenomena, David Scott engages with broader, enduring issues of political action and tragedy, generations and memory, liberalism and transitional justice, and the possibility of forgiveness. Ultimately, Scott argues that the palpable sense of the neoliberal present as time stalled, without hope for emancipatory futures, has had far-reaching effects on how we think about the nature of political action and justice.
