BURLEND, REBECCA; MILO MILTON QUAIFE (ED)

A True Picture of Emigration

Chicago: The Lakeside Press, 1936. First Edition Thus. First Printing. Hard Cover. Publisher's full red cloth, gilt lettering on spine, gilt medallion and borders on cover, t.e.g, fore-edge deckle. Illustrated with photographic portrait frontispiece. On a frosty day in November 1831, Rebecca Burlend and her husband, John, and their five children debarked at New Orleans after a long voyage from England. They took a steamboat up the Mississippi to St. Louis and from there went to the wilds of western Illinois. It was a whole new world for a family that had never been more than fifty miles from home in rural Yorkshire. Rebecca’s narrative, written with the help of her son, was first published in 1848 as a pamphlet for people of her own class in England who might be considering migration to America. It records the daily struggle and also the satisfactions of homesteading in the Old Northwest: life in a log cabin; food, clothes, and furniture of the period; early churches and schools; the unspoiled countryside and its denizens. With courage and self-reliance Rebecca Burlend accepted the privations and difficulties of this pioneering venture.. The covers are moderately worn, the front cover has some spots, some minor foxing on the fore-edge, otherwise fine; unmarked, tight, and square. GOOD. The Lakeside Classics Series. Vol. 34. Portrait Frontispiece. 16mo 6" - 7" tall. xxxi, 167, (1) pp. Good with no dust jacket .

BUSH, GEORGE W.

Decision Points

New York: Crown, 2010. 0307590615. First Edition Thus. Sixth Printing. Hard Cover. ISBN: 0307590615. Quarter bound in publisher's black cloth over black boards, gilt lettering on spine. In this candid and gripping account, President George W. Bush describes the critical decisions that shaped his presidency and personal life. George W. Bush served as president of the United States during eight of the most consequential years in American history. The decisions that reached his desk impacted people around the world and defined the times in which we lived. "Decision Points" brings readers inside the Texas governor's mansion on the night of the 2000 election, aboard Air Force One during the harrowing hours after the attacks of September 11, 2001, into the Situation Room moments before the start of the war in Iraq, and behind the scenes at the White House for many other historic presidential decisions. For the first time, we learn President Bush's perspective and insights on: * His decision to quit drinking and the journey that led him to his Christian faith. * The selection of the vice president, secretary of defense, secretary of state, Supreme Court justices, and other key officials. * His relationships with his wife, daughters, and parents, including heart-felt letters between the president and his father on the eve of the Iraq War. * His administration's counterterrorism programs, including the CIA's enhanced interrogation and the Terrorist Surveillance Program. * Why the worst moment of the presidency was hearing accusations that race played a role in the federal governments response to Hurricane Katrina, and a critical assessment of what he would have done differently during the crisis. * His deep concern that Iraq could turn into a defeat costlier than Vietnam, and how he decided to defy public opinion by ordering the troop surge. * His legislative achievements, including tax cuts and reforming education and Medicare, as well as his setbacks, including Social Security and immigration reform. * The relationships he forged with other world leaders, including an honest assessment of those he did and didn't trust. * Why the failure to bring Osama bin Laden to justice ranks as his biggest disappointment and why his success in denying the terrorists their fondest wish - attacking America again - is among his proudest achievements. A groundbreaking new brand of presidential memoir, Decision Points will captivate supporters, surprise critics, and change perspectives on eight remarkable years in American history and on the man at the center of events. Both the volume and the unclipped dust jacket are in perfect, unmarked condition. AS NEW/AS NEW.. Color Photographs. 8vo 8" - 9" tall. (xii), 500 pp. As New in As New dust jacket .
