INSPIRATIONAL SOLIDARITY MESSAGE FROM A FULL-BLOODED NATIVE BROTHER Go on dear brother, forward with your traverse! While in partnership I will awaken the learned, the unlearned, devoted readers of books, the untiring users of shovels and axes and the alien bearers of silver, golden and diamond stars. And if and when, you succumb to the natural realm of eternal blissful life, rest assured, great brother, your historic journey shall continue still, to the farthest land our echoes can reverberate and dwell. Still to victory or martyrdom! Sambas S Omar

An engrossing narrative of a colonial subject’s life contemplating his Imperial masters at the height of colonialism in India; based upon the first eight years of his life-long diary

The Indian World of George Washington offers a fresh portrait of the most revered American and the Native Americans whose story has been only partially told.

This book reconstructs the life of Mehetabel Chandler Coit (1673--1758), the author of what may be the earliest surviving diary by an American woman. A native of Roxbury, Massachusetts, who later moved to Connecticut, she began her diary at the age of fifteen and kept it intermittently until she was well into her seventies. A previously overlooked resource, the diary contains entries on a broad range of topics as well as poems, recipes, folk and herbal medical remedies, religious meditations, and financial accounts. An extensive collection of letters by Coit and her female relatives has also survived, shedding further light on her experiences. Michelle Marchetti Coughlin combs through these writings to create a vivid portrait of a colonial American woman and the world she inhabited. Coughlin documents the activities of daily life as well as dramas occasioned by war, epidemics, and political upheaval. Though Coit's opportunities were circumscribed by gender norms of the day, she led a rich and varied life, not only running a household and raising a family, but reading, writing, traveling, transacting business, and maintaining a widespread network of social and commercial connections. She also took a lively interest in the world around her and played an active role in her community. Coit's long life covered an eventful period in American history, and this book explores the numerous -- and sometimes surprising -- ways in which her personal history was linked to broader social and political developments. It also provides insight into the lives of countless other colonial American women whose history remains largely untold.
