"Though no bands of Indians were met during the work, our safety and freedom from their visits were probably due to the well-known magnitude and strength of the expedition. A great measure of the success of the exploration is due to the hearty co-operation of the officers of the command, but particularly to the commander, Colonel Dodge, whose unwavering interest and determination to make the work successful and whose constant assistance and courtesy were especially valuable and grateful during the entire course of the work. To Lieutenants Morton and Foster, who were detailed for topographical work, Dr. McGillicuddy is indebted for assistance in the prosecution of his mapping. "Reaching the Black Hills on the east fork of the Beaver on the 3d of June, the work of the survey was soon begun and a permanent camp was established on French. Creek, near the stockade erected by the miners during the previous winter. In order to pursue the work more rapidly and thoroughly, a division of the party was made as follows: Mr. Jenney with a corps of assistants assumedmore particularly the investigations of the mineral resources of the country, prospecting the gold deposits, etc., while the remainder of the party, Mr. Newton, Dr. McGillicuddy and Captain Tuttle, continued the topographical and more complete geological study of the hills. "As the work of the survey progressed northward, the main body of the escort of troops was transferred from one base of supplies to another, so as to keep up with the course of the explorations. In this manner with scarcely a day's remission from work, the survey continued until the entire area of the Black Hills between the forks of the Cheyenne had been mapped. a...

Perhaps you have already asked yourself „How did a Jew end up in a Catholic elementary school?” Let me answer you this question. I was born into a family that has been assimilated long ago, and I found out much later that my great grandparents were Holocaust survivors, though I already knew that I have Jewish ancestry. I expected a lot from this school, specially that students and teachers have principles, but I was wrong. I have never experienced so powerful hate in my life like there. There were hate against Jews, seculars and which was even more shocking they declared that the Harry Potter is the book of Satan and if you read it you will go to hell...sexual molesting, pervert priests and so many secrets are in the book which I revealed. After a long time finally I wrote my suffering...

A New York Times BestsellerThe inside story of how Pete Rose became one of the greatest and most controversial players in the history of baseball Pete Rose was a legend on the field. As baseball’s Hit King, he shattered records that were thought to be unbreakable. And during the 1970s, he was the leader of the Big Red Machine, the Cincinnati Reds team that dominated the game. But he’s also the greatest player who may never enter the Hall of Fame because of his lifetime ban from the sport. Perhaps no other ballplayer’s story is so representative of the triumphs and tragedies of our national pastime. In Play Hungry, Rose tells us the story of how, through hard work and sheer will, he became one of the unlikeliest stars of the game. Guided by the dad he idolized, a local sports hero, Pete learned to play hard and always focus on winning. But even with his dad’s guidance, Pete was cut from his team as a teenager—he wasn’t a natural. Rose was determined, though, and never would be satisfied with anything less than success. His relentless hustle and headfirst style would help him overcome his limitations, leading him to one of the most exciting and brash careers in the history of the sport. Play Hungry is Pete Rose’s love letter to the game, and an unvarnished story of life on the diamond. One of the icons of a golden age in baseball, he describes just what it was like to hit (or try to hit) a Bob Gibson fastball or a Gaylord Perry spitball, what happened in that infamous collision at home plate during the 1970 All-Star Game, and what it felt like to topple Ty Cobb’s hit record. And he speaks to how he let down his fans, his teammates, and the memory of his dad when he gambled on baseball, breaking the rules of a sport that he loved more than anything else. Told with candor and wry humor—including tales he’s never told before—Rose’s memoir is his final word on the glories and controversies of his life, and, ultimately, a master class in how to succeed when the odds are stacked against you.
