Henry Hudson and the Algonquins of New York: Native American Prophecy & European Discovery, 1609

Henry Hudson and the Algonquins of New York: Native American Prophecy & European Discovery, 1609 by Evan T. Pritchard
English | November 26th, 2019 | ISBN: 1571782222 | 338 pages | EPUB | 4.20 MB

In 2009, New York observed the 400-year anniversary of Henry Hudson's September 1609 discovery of Manhattan Island. This book chronicles the event from the perspective of the people who met Hudson's boat—which they at first thought was surely a great waterfowl—floating. Using all available sources, including oral history passed down to today's Algonquins, Evan Pritchard tells the story from various perspectives: that of Hudson's body guard, scribe, and personal Judas, Robert Juet; that of Hudson himself; and that of the Eastern Algonquins who greeted Hudson as the fulfillment of ancient prophecies.

Skiing with Henry Knox: A Personal Journey Along Vermont's Catamount Trail

Skiing with Henry Knox: A Personal Journey Along Vermont's Catamount Trail by Sam Brakeley
English | October 28th, 2019 | ISBN: 1944762760 | 192 pages | EPUB | 8.87 MB

In 2015, Sam Brakeley stood at a crossroads in his life. His long-time girlfriend was moving to Utah, with or without him, and he was torn between following her or remaining in New England with family, friends, and the land he loved. So he set out to complete the Catamount Trail, a 330-mile cross-country ski trail that runs across Vermont from the Massachusetts border to Canada. He took advantage of his time in the woods to reach a decision—and brought Henry Knox along for the trip. In 1775, Knox undertook a winter journey of similar length, retrieving dozens of artillery pieces from the recently captured Fort Ticonderoga on Lake Champlain and dragging them 300 miles through snow and cold to Cambridge, Massachusetts, to help George Washington drive the entrenched British army from Boston.
