Piracy, Slavery, And Assimilation: Women In Early Modern Captivity Literature, David C. Moberly 2011 University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Piracy, Slavery, And Assimilation: Women In Early Modern Captivity Literature, David C. Moberly

Department of English: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

This thesis examines a hitherto neglected body of works featuring female characters enslaved in Islamicate lands. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, many Englishmen and women were taken captive by pirates and enslaved in what is now the Middle East and North Africa. Several writers of the time created narratives and dramas about the experiences of such captives. Recent scholarship has brought to light many of these works and pointed out their importance in establishing what was still a young, unsure, and developing English identity in this early period. Most of this scholarship, however, has dealt with narratives of the …

The Ticino Swiss Immigration To California, Tony Quinn 2011 Brigham Young University

The Ticino Swiss Immigration To California, Tony Quinn

Swiss American Historical Society Review

America is a land of immigrants, and the Ticino Swiss immigrants

share many of the characteristics found in other immigrant groups.

The first American immigrants were the English in the 17th century,

who founded the country. They were followed by the Scots-Irish from

Northern Ireland in the 18th century, and then in the half century after

America's Civil War, the years 1865 to 1920, masses of immigrants

came from all parts of Europe.

The Swiss At The Battle Of The Little Bighorn, 1876, Albert Winkler 2011 Brigham Young University

The Swiss At The Battle Of The Little Bighorn, 1876, Albert Winkler

Swiss American Historical Society Review

The Swiss have made many valuable contributions to the development

of the United States, including the westward expansion, and people

from Switzerland participated in some of the most significant events

and activities in the development of the American frontier. They were

involved in treks to the West, were found in many mining camps and in

pioneer settlements, and served in the US Army. Among the most celebrated

Swiss soldiers was Ernest Yeuve, from Neuchatel, who received

the Congressional Medal of Honor for driving off an Indian warrior in

1874 after brief hand-to-hand combat. His citation commended him for

the "gallant …

Raf Wings Over Florida: Memories Of World War Ii British Air Cadets, Will Largent, Tod Roberts

Purdue University Press Books

From 1941 through 1945, British cadets in the Royal Air Force trained in the United States through the Lend-Lease Act, President Roosevelt’s ingenious plan to help beleaguered Great Britain while maintaining the semblance of neutrality. This book tells the saga of two Florida training fields during this turbulent time. In their own words, British pilots tell of their Florida experiences. Many of them still in their late teens, away from home for the first time, pale and thin from years of rationing, these young men encountered immense challenges and overwhelming generosity during their training in Florida. Now retired, these former …


Administrating The Non-Muslims And "The Question Of Jerusalem" After The Young Turk Revolution, Bedross Der Matossian 2011 University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Administrating The Non-Muslims And "The Question Of Jerusalem" After The Young Turk Revolution, Bedross Der Matossian

Department of History: Faculty Publications

The historiography on the Young Turk Revolution of 1908 in general has mainly concentrated on the impact of the Revolution on the Ottoman Turkish society. Rarely do we see works that deal with the impact of the Revolution on the non-dominant groups in the Empire from a comparative perspective. How did the different ethnic groups view the Revolution? How did the Revolution influence the dynamics of power inside these groups? What were the relations between the Revolution and the religious groups within the Empire? How did the local /central government view the transformations taking place among the non-Muslim communities in …


Introductiom, Egon Bodtker, Gerald Rasmussen 2011 Brigham Young University

Introductiom, Egon Bodtker, Gerald Rasmussen

The Bridge

This article contains the first four chapters of Arnold Bodtker' s autobiography. When preparing the autobiography for publication we decided that these chapters offered a significant piece of local history which deserved to be printed independently of the complete work. It tells a "coming of age" story that is an insightful and valuable contribution to the understanding of rural life in general, and Junction City, Oregon, in particular, from Arnold's birth in 1904 until his high school graduation in 1923.
