Books with author Edward Everett

Ps O72. -FACE. THHIS little book would never have been writ ten, I suppose, but for the persuasion of my kind friend, the late Dr. WAYLAND, the Presi dent of Brown University. It is nearly fifteen years ago that I told him the plan of this story, if it may be called a story, expressing the wish that some of the masters would undertake to illustrate the lessons involved in it. Every one who knew him and how many there are who knew him enough to love him !will remember how practical and how personal was every notion of the religious life, of Christian labor, and of missionary triumph, in his mind. What he thought the practical and personal character :f my little sketch pleased him ;and he was kind enough to urge me once and again to enlarge it, and to print it. I think it is because he wished it, that I have tried to do so.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.

“A well-written, taut, and empathetic novel that provides readers with an unnerving vicarious experience.”—SLJ Fourteen-year-old Cameron Galloway of Lexington, Washington, understands that he has schizophreniform disorder and needs to take pills to quiet the voices in his head. But he likes the voices, especially the gentle, encouraging voice of The Girl. Conflicted, he turns to his friend Nina Savage, who is clinically depressed and can relate to his horror of the numbing effects of medication. They make a pact to ditch the pills. At first they feel triumphant, but soon Cameron’s untreated mind goes haywire—to disastrous effect.

Edward Everett Dale (1879–1972) was an American historian and longtime faculty member of the University of Oklahoma. He was a proponent of Frederick Jackson Turner's "frontier thesis" and is known as a major influence on the historian Angie Debo.Dale writes: "THESE stories have been gathered on the plains and among the hills of Oklahoma. That state is peculiarly the home of the red men. More than one-third of all the Indians in the United States live within its limits. They include remnants of more than fifty tribes, varying widely in customs and in civilization. Some are well educated and wealthy and live in beautiful homes. Others are ignorant and poor and dwell in cabins or in tepees and grass houses."During thirty years spent in Oklahoma it has been my privilege to know intimately many of these people. The earlier years of this period were spent in ranching on the border of the Kiowa,.Comanche, and Wichita reservation. Here I became acquainted with many Indians of these tribes; rode with them, hunted with them, visited them in their lodges, and joined in their sports and games."My summer vacations have often been spent in wandering about the remote corners of this interesting state, visiting some of my old Indian friends of early days, and forming new friendships with members of other tribes. I have attended the dances and festivities of many of the less civilized tribes, and have been the guest of many prominent families of Indian blood. And always have I listened eagerly to the stories they would tell me, and with a child's insistence have earnestly begged for more. These tales of the tepee are the result of such experiences."This book originally published in 1920 has been reformatted for the Kindle and may contain an occasional defect from the original publication or from the reformatting.
