  pecos bill short story: The True Story of Christopher Columbus, Called the Great Admiral Elbridge S. Brooks, 2022-09-16 Elbridge S. Brooks's 'The True Story of Christopher Columbus, Called the Great Admiral' is an engaging exploration of one of history's most enigmatic figures. This work, meticulously reproduced by DigiCat Publishing, weaves a detailed narrative that balances the mythical stature of Columbus with historical accuracies, presenting a nuanced portrait of the man behind the legend. Brooks's literary style is didactic yet captivating, rich with period details that transport readers to the late 15th and early 16th centuries. As part of the canon of historical literature, Brooks's book serves as a cornerstone for understanding the complexity of European exploration and its ramifications. Elbridge S. Brooks was a distinguished author and editor known for his historical writings and contributions to children's literature. His penchant for thorough research and a storytelling approach rooted in factual accuracy is evident in this seminal work. Brooks's particular interest in Columbus might be attributed to the zeitgeist of his era, which celebrated the spirit of discovery and its impact on the modern world. This provided Brooks both the inspiration and scholarly environment to delve into the life of Columbus with the intent of separating the man from the myth. 'The True Story of Christopher Columbus, Called the Great Admiral' is highly recommended to readers who seek a comprehensive and honest account of Columbus's life and voyages. It is a vital addition to the library of history enthusiasts, educators, and anyone yearning to understand the past through the lens of a writer who championed the integrity of historical narrative. Through Elbridge S. Brooks's judicious eye, Columbus sails again—not just as a celebrated explorer but as a pivotal figure whose actions continue to shape the historical discourse.

  pecos bill short story: The Riot at Bucksnort and Other Western Tales Robert Ervin Howard, 2005 Robert E. Howard turned to writing comic and dialect Western tales only late in his career, but he found an immediate and continuously successful market for them, and they are in many respects his most accomplished and polished works. The sixteen tales collected here are some of the best of his stories, featuring Breckinridge Elkins, Pike Bearfield, and Buckner J. Grimes—three inimitable characters who lead well-intentioned lives of perpetual confusion, mischance, and outright catastrophe. Fifteen of the stories were published between 1934 and 1937 in Action Stories, Argosy, or Cowboy Stories; the other remained unpublished for more than thirty years. Many of these stories were rewritten for book publication and have never been reprinted in their original form. They are reminiscent of traditional southwestern tall tales, told in dialect, featuring larger-than-life characters, swift action, broad satire, and wry humor.

  pecos bill short story: They Called Her Molly Pitcher Anne Rockwell, 2006-08-22 The rousing true tale of an American Revolution heroine. When her husband joined General Washington’s army, Molly Hays went with him. All through the winter at Valley Forge, Molly watched and listened. Then in July, in the battle at Monmouth, she would show how much she had learned. Molly could tell the day would be a scorcher, so she decided to bring water from a nearby spring to the fighting men. More than 50 British soldiers would die of heatstroke that day, but the American soldiers need only cry, “Molly–pitcher!” On one trip through the fighting field, she saw her husband get shot. She satisfied herself that he wouldn’t die from his wound, then took over his job–firing off the cannon! Molly epitomized the feisty, self-reliant spirit of the colonists who would soon win their battle for independence–and her story has rightly become a beloved legend of American history.
  pecos bill short story: The New Annotated African American Folktales Henry Louis Gates, Maria Tatar, 2017-11-14 Drawing from the great folklorists of the past while expanding African American lore with dozens of tales rarely seen before, The Annotated African American Folktales revolutionizes the canon like no other volume. Following in the tradition of such classics as Arthur Huff Fauset’s “Negro Folk Tales from the South” (1927), Zora Neale Hurston’s Mules and Men (1935), and Virginia Hamilton’s The People Could Fly (1985), acclaimed scholars Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Maria Tatar assemble a groundbreaking collection of folktales, myths, and legends that revitalizes a vibrant African American past to produce the most comprehensive and ambitious collection of African American folktales ever published in American literary history. Arguing for the value of these deceptively simple stories as part of a sophisticated, complex, and heterogeneous cultural heritage, Gates and Tatar show how these remarkable stories deserve a place alongside the classic works of African American literature, and American literature more broadly. Opening with two introductory essays and twenty seminal African tales as historical background, Gates and Tatar present nearly 150 African American stories, among them familiar Brer Rabbit classics, but also stories like “The Talking Skull” and “Witches Who Ride,” as well as out-of-print tales from the 1890s’ Southern Workman. Beginning with the figure of Anansi, the African trickster, master of improvisation—a spider who plots and weaves in scandalous ways—The Annotated African American Folktales then goes on to draw Caribbean and Creole tales into the orbit of the folkloric canon. It retrieves stories not seen since the Harlem Renaissance and brings back archival tales of “Negro folklore” that Booker T. Washington proclaimed had emanated from a “grapevine” that existed even before the American Revolution, stories brought over by slaves who had survived the Middle Passage. Furthermore, Gates and Tatar’s volume not only defines a new canon but reveals how these folktales were hijacked and misappropriated in previous incarnations, egregiously by Joel Chandler Harris, a Southern newspaperman, as well as by Walt Disney, who cannibalized and capitalized on Harris’s volumes by creating cartoon characters drawn from this African American lore. Presenting these tales with illuminating annotations and hundreds of revelatory illustrations, The Annotated African American Folktales reminds us that stories not only move, entertain, and instruct but, more fundamentally, inspire and keep hope alive. The Annotated African American Folktales includes: Introductory essays, nearly 150 African American stories, and 20 seminal African tales as historical background The familiar Brer Rabbit classics, as well as news-making vernacular tales from the 1890s’ Southern Workman An entire section of Caribbean and Latin American folktales that finally become incorporated into the canon Approximately 200 full-color, museum-quality images
