Very Good in Dustjacket. 0374266387. 96 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Cynthia Krupat. Signed by the Author. keywords: Caribbean Antigua American Literature Women. DESCRI…PTION - 'If you go to Antigua as a tourist, this is what you will see. If you come by airplane, you will land at the V. C. Bird International Airport. Vere Cornwall (V.C.) Bird is the Prime Minister of Antigua. You may be the sort of tourist who would wonder why a Prime Minister would want an air- port named after him - why not a school, why not a hospital, why not some great public monument. You are a tourist and you have not yet seen. .' So begins Jamaica Kincaid's new book, which shows us what we have not yet seen of the place where she grew up - a ten-by-twelve-mile island in the British West Indies. First, there is the perhaps familiar aerial view of this longed-for place, the disproportionately large airport, the careening drive over bad roads in a Japanese taxi, the dilapidated school and hospital, the mockery of a library. Then there is the sea: 'That water - have you ever seen anything like it? Far out, to the horizon, the color of the water is navy blue; nearer, the water is the color of the North American sky. Oh, what beauty!' What follows is less familiar, a new point of view, for it is unlikely that, on vacation, you have had the time to think clearly about the people you are visiting - their colonial history, their government, their manners, their sense of time - or about their opinion of you. You are English or European or American, escaping the banality and corruption of your large place; they are Antiguan, formerly British, and unable to escape the same drawbacks of their own little realm. This expansive essay - lyrical, sardonic, and forthright by turns, in a Swiftian mode - cannot help but amplify our vision of one small place and all that it signifies. inventory #10242. Signed by the Author.

Contact seller4-star sellerAn interesting letter, showing the inside operations and difficulties involved in getting quality troops to the Western frontierFort Crawford stood guard over Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, from 1816 until 1856. In the spring of 1829, troops began to build a new Fort Crawford on an elevated plain located on the mainland, safe from… the floods that had plagued the first fort. The new structure was built primarily with quarried limestone, and work progressed slowly. Colonel (and future president of the United States) Zachary Taylor took command of the construction in the summer of 1829, and commanded the fort from then until 1837. Jefferson Davis (later president of the Confederate States of America) was a lieutenant at Fort Crawford, and supervised work at a sawmill on the Yellow River that provided lumber for construction. Troops moved into the new barracks in December 1830. While at the fort, Davis met and fell in love with Taylor?s daughter, Sarah. They would marry in June 1835, making Zachary Taylor Jefferson Davis?s father-in-law. But tragedy awaited, as Sarah died three months into the marriage of yellow fever, devastating Davis and causing ill will with Taylor, who blamed Davis for taking his daughter into an unhealthy climate.Soldiers at Fort Crawford served in many capacities after moving into the second fort. Most notably, troops took an active military role in forcing Native Americans west of the Mississippi River in accordance with the policies of President Andrew Jackson. Troops commanded by Col. Zachary Taylor fought in the Black Hawk War in 1832. On August 27 of that year, Black Hawk surrendered at Prairie du Chien and was jailed at the fort. In 1833, Lt. Jefferson Davis escorted Black Hawk to another prison at St. Louis, which journey also ended Davis?s time at Fort Crawford. The troops at Fort Crawford also worked to build a military road across Wisconsin to connect Fort Crawford with Fort Winnebago in Portage and Fort Howard in Green Bay. Additionally, soldiers from Fort Crawford enforced the relocation of the Ho-Chunk (Winnebago) Indians from Wisconsin to a reservation in Iowa in the 1830s. "Indian Removal," as the government called it, disrupted lives across the region and was successful in transforming Prairie du Chien from the front lines of enforcing Indian policy to one well behind the lines, leaving Fort Crawford without much of its earlier significance. Soldiers only occupied the fort intermittently after 1849, and the last active troops withdrew from Fort Crawford on June 9, 1856.Fort Snelling was on the bluffs overlooking the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers. Finished in 1825, the fort established US sovereignty in the area, drove British traders away, gaining control of the lucrative fur trade, and established trade relationships with the Native Americans in the area. The fort continued to be a dominating presence for both the native population, settlers, and the US government for another 125 years. Dred Scott was taken to the Fort Snelling area as an enslaved man despite the laws that prohibit slavery in the Upper Mississippi Valley.In March 1849 Zachary Taylor became President of the United States. March 1825 Roger Jones became Adjutant General of the U.S. Army. He served in that post until 1852. His son Catesby ap Roger Jones was the commander of the ironclad CSS Virginia at Hampton Roads on the second day of battle with the USS Monitor.Letter signed, Head Quarters 1st Infantry, Fort Crawford, Nov 24, 1833, to Col. Robert Jones, Adjutant General, in Washington. ?On the 11th inst. the recruits for this place & 50 for Fort Snelling arrived here under the command of Capt. O. Ransom of the 2nd Infant & were all turned over to me. The former have been inspected agreeably to the provisions of general order No 21 of 1829. 8 rejected & the balance 52 in number attached to companies "A" "B" "C" "D" & ?I?
