Autobiography of Buffalo Bill


Price: $10.00

One day, in the spring of 1868, I mounted Brigham and started for Smoky Hill River. After a gallop of twenty miles I reached the top of a small hill overlooking that beautiful stream.

Gazing out over the landscape, I saw a band of about thirty Indians some half-mile distant. I knew by the way they jumped on their horses they had seen me as soon as
I saw them.

My one chance for my life was to run. I wheeled my horse and started for the railroad. Brigham struck out as if he comprehended that this was a
life-or-death matter.

On reaching the next ridge I looked around and saw
the Indians, evidently well mounted, and coming for me full speed.

Brigham put his whole strength into the flight, and for a few minutes did some of the prettiest running I ever saw. But the Indians had nearly as good mounts as he, and one of their horses in particular, a spotted animal,
gained on me steadily.......

How to Study More Effectively


Price: $10.00

"Learn the simple techniques straight A students are using everyday to get an unfair advantage over you in the class room You will be shocked to learn just how simple these techniques really are to use!"

Here's a sample of some of the things you'll learn:

That the best way to study for an exam is, believe it or not, cramming! The benefits of cramming is that at such a time, one usually works at a high plane of efficiency; the task of reviewing in a few hours the work of an entire course is so huge that the attention is closely concentrated, impressions are made vividly, and the entire mentality is tuned up so that facts are well impressed, coordinated and retained.

How to get a mental second wind anytime you need it.  It's totally natural for someone to get mentally exhausted after hours of study and even tho your brain is telling you to stop, you know you must keep going, but it feels impossible.... BUT it is possible to gain a second wind and steal a few more hours of productive study time out of the day and out of your body and I show you how.

How to master the art of effective note taking!  Students, as a rule, do not realize that there is any skill involved in taking notes. Not until examination time arrives and they try vainly to labor through a maze of scribbling, do they realize that there must be some system in note-taking. A careful examination of note-taking shows that there are rules or principles, which, when followed, have much to do with increasing ability in study.

How to become insatiably interested in any subject, no matter how boring it is.... "I can't get interested in Mediaeval History." This illustrates a kind of complaint frequently made by college students. In this chapter I show you simple techniques that make learning about any subject more interesting. It's really quite simple, yet very powerful.
And much more!

How to Teach


Price: $10.00

How to Teach
Drayton and Naomi explore the psychological basis for learning and provide insight into how one can apply these rules to impart knowledge to others. In no technical terms, it shows the various methods of teaching, the learning processes and how to measure achievement in children. The book is rife with results of surveys and researches and studies and heavily draws upon these to prove the scientific basis for each methodology expounded in the book.

How to Write Clearly


Price: $10.00

The art of writing forcibly is, of course, a valuable acquisition—almost as valuable as the art of writing clearly. But forcible expression is not, like clear expression, a mere question of mechanism and of the manipulation of words; it is a much higher power, and implies much more.

Writing clearly does not imply thinking clearly. A man may think and reason as obscurely as Dogberry himself, but he may (though it is not probable that he will) be able to write clearly for all that.

Writing clearly—so far as arrangement of words is concerned—is a mere matter of adverbs, conjunctions, prepositions, and auxiliary verbs, placed and repeated according to definite rules.

 
Even obscure or illogical thought can be clearly expressed; indeed, the transparent medium of clear writing is not least beneficial when it reveals the illogical nature of the meaning beneath it.

Into the Jaws of Death


Price: $10.00

My story begins when this war broke out in August, 1914.

I was working with a survey party at the time not far from Fernie, British. Columbia. I remember the day that I made up my mind to enlist.

I had just decided the question when along came my chum Stevens, and I said, "Well, I'm jumping the job this morning, Steve." He said, "Why? What the devil is eating you now? Don't you know when you are well off?"

I said, "Yes, Steve, I do; but it is like this—ever since you and I went to town the other day I have been thinking this thing over." "Thinking what?" "Why, about the war, of course—I can't get it out of my head.

There is going to be the devil of a scrap over there—and say, boy! I've got to get into it! When I hear of what Germany is doing to poor little Belgium it makes my blood boil—I have worked with the Germans, and I have a little idea of what it would mean to turn the world over to them—so I'm off to draw my time."

Well, when I came back from the boss's cabin, I found Steve packing up, and I said, "Why, what's the matter, Steve?" He said, "Oh hell! if you're going, I'm going too;" so we started off together.......

This is a true story of war as told by Private Jack O'Brien of the 28th Northwest Battalion!

Myths & Legends of Ancient Greece & Rome


Price: $10.00

It is hardly necessary to dwell upon the importance of the study of Mythology: our poems, our novels, and even our daily journals teem with classical allusions; nor can a visit to our art galleries and museums be fully enjoyed without something more than a mere superficial knowledge of a subject which has in all ages inspired painters, sculptors, and poets.

It therefore only remains for me to express a hope that my little work may prove useful, not only to teachers and scholars, but also to a large class of general readers, who, in whiling away a leisure hour, may derive some pleasure and profit from its perusal.

Myths include:

The Nymphs

Nagualism: The Study of Native American Folklore & History


Price: $10.00

"The Devil was accustomed to deceive these natives by appearing to them in the form of a lion, tiger, coyote, lizard, snake, bird, or other animal.

To these appearances they apply the name Naguales, which is as much as to say, guardians or companions; and when such an animal dies, so does the Indian to whom it was assigned.

The way such an alliance was formed was thus: The Indian repaired to some very retired spot and there appealed to the streams, rocks and trees around him, and weeping, implored for himself the favors they had conferred on his ancestors.

He then sacrificed a dog or a fowl, and drew blood from his tongue, or his ears, or other parts of his body, and turned to sleep.

Either in his dreams or half awake, he would see some one of those animals or birds above mentioned, who would say to him, 'On such a day go hunting and the first animal or bird you see will be my form, and I shall remain your companion and Nagual for all time.'

Thus their friendship became so close that when one died so did the other; and without such a Nagual the natives believe no one can become rich or powerful......"

Parent's Guide to Successful Homeschooling


Price: $10.00

In order to insure that your child is prepared with the best education possible to prepare them for college or university, you need to arm yourself with information on home schooling.  Only then will you be prepared to make an intelligent decision regarding such an important step.

That's where "The Parents Guide to Home Schooling" comes in.  A decision to home school your children should not be taken lightly.  It will mean drastic changes to your family dynamics. 

If both parents work, one will have to commit to leaving the workforce.  While that may undoubtedly affect the standard of living that a family enjoys, most parents who have reached that decision report that they don't regret the decision at all.

Many other questions arise when contemplating this step.  "The Parents Guide to Home Schooling" examines them thoroughly. Here is just a sample of what you can learn about home schooling:

  Why should you home school your child?

Do you need special permission from your state?

How to determine the length of your school year?

What supplies do I need?

Are there textbooks available?

How do I grade my child's progress?

What costs are involved?

How do I prepare a lesson plan?

It doesn't matter if you just want to explore home schooling possibilities or have made the decision and are looking for a guide to point you in the right direction, "The Parents Guide to Home Schooling" will provide you with the information you require.

There is plenty of information inside to answer your questions and help you decide how to get started.  Many families who pursue home schooling report it as the most significant thing they have done in their entire lives and highly recommend it.

Instead of watching the evening news and shaking your head over the declining public school system, take control.  Home schooling your children may be the most rewarding experience of your life.

Find out how by reading "The Parents Guide to Home Schooling!"

Practical English


Price: $10.00

Who Else Wants To Learn English At Home In His Free Time and Excel In a Language That is Now Widely used in E-Commerce?

All the "Exercises in English" with which the author is acquainted consist chiefly of "sentences to be corrected." 

To such exercises there are grave objections. If, on the one hand, the fault in the given sentence is not seen at a glance, the pupil is likely, as experience has shown, to pass it by and to change something that is not wrong.

 If, on the other hand, the fault is obvious, the exercise has no value in the formation of habit. 

Take, for example, two "sentences for correction" which I select at random from one of the most widely used books of its class: "I knew it was him," and "Sit the plates on the table." 

A pupil of any wit will at once see that the mistakes must be in "him" and "sit," and knowing that the alternatives are "he" and "set," he will at once correct the sentences without knowing, perhaps, why one form is wrong, the other right. 

He has not gained anything valuable; he has simply "slid" through his exercise. Moreover, such "sentences for correction" violate a fundamental principle of teaching English by setting before the impressionable minds of pupils bad models. 

Finally, such exercises are unnatural, because the habit which we hope to form in our pupils is not the habit of correcting mistakes, but the habit of avoiding them.

Correct English is largely a matter of correct choice between two or more forms of expression, and in this book an attempt has been made, as a glance at the pages will show, to throw the exercises, whenever possible, into a form consistent with this truth. 

Though a pupil may change "who" to "whom" without knowing why, he cannot repeatedly choose correctly between these forms without strengthening his own habit of correct expression.

The Discovery of Yellowstone Park


Price: $10.00

When the rumored discovery in the year 1861 of extensive gold placers on Salmon river was confirmed, the intelligence spread through the states like wild fire.

Hundreds of men with dependent families, who had been thrown out of employment by the depressed industrial condition of the country and by the Civil War, and still others actuated by a thirst for gain, utilized their available resources in providing means for an immediate migration to the land of promise. Before midsummer they had started on the long and perilous journey.

How little did they know of its exposures! The deserts, destitute of water and grass, the alkaline plains where food and drink were alike affected by the poisonous dust, the roving bands of hostile Indians, the treacherous quicksands of river fords, the danger and difficulty of the mountain passes, the death of their companions, their cattle and their horses, breakage of their vehicles, angry and often violent personal altercations—all these fled in the light of the summer sun, the vernal beauty of the plains and the delightfully pure atmosphere which wooed them day by day farther away from the abode of civilization and the protection of law.......

The History of Julius Caesar


Price: $10.00

It is the object of this series of histories to present a clear, distinct, and connected narrative of the lives of those great personages who have in various ages of the world made themselves celebrated as leaders among mankind, and, by the part they have taken in the public affairs of great nations, have exerted the widest influence on the history of the human race.

The end which the author has had in view is twofold: first, to communicate such information in respect to the subjects of his narratives as is important for the general reader to possess; and, secondly, to draw such moral lessons from the events described and the characters delineated as they may legitimately teach to the people of the present age. Though written in a direct and simple style, they are intended for, and addressed to, minds possessed of some considerable degree of maturity, for such minds only can fully appreciate the character and action which exhibits itself, as nearly all that is described in these volumes does, in close combination with the conduct and policy of governments, and the great events of international history.

The Life of Kit Carson


Price: $10.00

Christopher Carson, or as he was familiarly called, Kit Carson, was a man whose real worth was understood only by those with whom he was associated or who closely studied his character.

He
was more than hunter, trapper, guide, Indian agent and Colonel in the United States Army.

He possessed in a marked degree those mental and moral qualities which would have made him
prominent in whatever pursuit or profession he engaged.

His lot was cast on the extreme western frontier, where, when but a youth, he earned the respect
of the tough and frequently lawless men with whom he came in contact.

Integrity, bravery, loyalty to friends, marvelous quickness in making right decisions, in crisis of danger, consummate knowledge of woodcraft, a leadership as skilful as it was daring; all these were distinguishing traits in the composition of Carson and were the foundations of the broader fame which he acquired as the friend and invaluable counselor of Fremont, the Pathfinder, in his
expeditions across the Rocky Mountains.......

The True Story of the American Flag


Price: $10.00

History is the best incentive to make men love their country; it encourages that patriotism which never falters, even at the cannon's mouth.

The sight of a flag or the music of a band merely enthuses as long as one is in sight or the other can be heard; but history and its knowledge are lasting
and a source of pride.

So, therefore, let it be true in all its details, no matter who may fall from the high pedestals upon which they have been placed by
vain-glorious descendants.......

The Underground Railroad

A RECORD OF FACTS, AUTHENTIC NARRATIVE, LETTERS, &C., Narrating the Hardships, Hair-breadth Escapes and Death Struggles of the Slaves in their efforts of Freedom, as Related by Themselves and, Others, or Witnessed by the Author; William Still

Excerpt: In setting out for freedom, Wesley was the leader of this party.

After two nights of fatiguing travel at a distance of about sixty miles from home, the young aspirants for liberty were betrayed, and in an attempt made to capture them a most bloody conflict ensued.

Both fugitives and pursuers were the recipients of severe wounds from gun shots, and other weapons used in the contest.

Wesley bravely used his fire arms until almost fatally wounded by one of the pursuers, who with a heavily loaded gun discharged the contents with deadly aim in his left arm, which raked the flesh from the bone for a space of about six inches in length.

One of Wesley's companions also fought heroically and only yielded when badly wounded and quite overpowered......."

Uncle Tom's Cabin


Price: $10.00

Classic anti-slavery novel by Harriet Beecher-Stowe!

Stowe, a Connecticut-born teacher at the Hartford Female Academy and an active abolitionist, focused the novel on the character of Uncle Tom, a long-suffering Black slave around whom the stories of other characters—both fellow slaves and slave owners—revolve.

The sentimental novel depicts the cruel reality of slavery while also asserting that Christian love can overcome something as destructive as enslavement of fellow human beings.(wikipedia)
