El asesinato de Álvaro Obregón desencadenó una profunda crisis en el estado mexicano que se prolongó hasta mediados de 1935. Este volumen analiza los principales sucesos de la época: la superación del caudillismo, la derrota de la revolución escobarista, los efectos de la crisis mundial sobre la economía nacional y la más importante lucha política e ideológica que libra el poder político desde 1917. La clase obrera desempeña un papel muy activo, aunque resiente profundamente la crisis: despidos en masa, reducción de jornadas y de salarios, miseria, hambre y represión.
Phyllis Waye Boone was born, reared, and spent nearly all her life in New Richmond, Indiana. During her lifetime, she saw many of the changes of a vibrant town going the way of too many small towns in America.?She and her husband Albert Boone spent many long years interviewing residents and digging into old newspapers and legal records to piece together a history of a small town in central Indiana. From the early first settlers before Indiana became a state to the filming of the movie Hoosiers, New Richmond, Indiana's story is revealed. Phyllis Boone's love of her hometown is evident in the culmination of her years of research. This is a great book for lovers of history, small-town America, and genealogy.

Many soldiers of a Civil War brigade tell of their first battle. ?We remember the silent movement of the line through the woods, the ringing cheer for Indiana, the sweep across the field, the odor of resin as the canister burst above us, the sand thrown in our faces by the shot that struck before us, the rush through the thicket, the dash into the redoubt, the breastworks in rear deserted by the flying enemy, the agonizing cry to our men behind to stop firing on us, the determined feeling as we lay on the ground and clung to the captured lunette, while bullets from front and rear, from right and left, pattered like hail on the leaves by our side? That, from Samuel Merrill, introduces a tapestry woven from tales of the participants?in their own words?from enlistment through hard marches chasing a Confederate army in Kentucky, longing for home and family while enduring nights of fear and cold in lonely outposts guarding a railroad in Tennessee, left out of big battles but learning to depend on each other for survival and comradery, then marching to Chattanooga for sham battles and endless drills until Sherman?
Originally published in 1860, this unique gentleman's etiquette manual, not intended for a lady,?includes etiquette guidelines concerning social behavior, making and receiving introductions, how to dress, rules for special occasions, a gentleman's duties, etc.? Unlike other etiquette books, it includes an extensive abundance of?literary examples and guidelines to aid a gentleman on?presentation of?a speech to an audience or how to?make a toast with numerous?examples provided. It is a valuable resource for living historians, reenactors and those who are interested in etiquette, social morays,?and what expected of a man in order to be the 'perfect gentlemen' ?in the mid-19th century. Due to?this book?being a reprint from the original, there may be an occasional imperfection such as blurred letters, poor pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either a part of the original artifact or were caused by the scanning process.? We feel that this work is culturally and historically of importance and are pleased to offer it for your study and enjoyment.
