Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - CALIFORNIA IN 1899A Famous Divorce Trial in San Francisco Native American and Women's Rights A Wealthy Miner and His Indian Wife Though this story took place over a hundred years ago, it remains as relevant as an article out of today's newspaper. Prospector John Rankin Hite discovered a real gold mine close to Yosemite National Park. At first, he worked the mine single-handed, accumulating a hoard of investment capital. He eventually financed the expansion of the mine, amazingly without borrowing money or diluting his full ownership. John met and married Lucy, the daughter of a chief of the Miwok Indian tribe. Their story is a familiar one, of two people sharing their lives until becoming overwhelmed by the clash of their different cultures. As their relationship became complicated by their wealth and by John's relatives, events climaxed in their incredible divorce trial in 1899. The trial opened in the little town of Mariposa and had all of the circus atmosphere of the famous Scopes Monkey Trial. Local press coverage was plentiful, inspiring headlines in the San Francisco newspapers. The reporters dusted off their most colorful language for flagrant display. A sophisticated observer would have longed for coverage by H. L. Mencken. A true fighter for equality during a time when women were not able to vote, Lucy Hite stood her ground in court against her rich white husband. During a time when Indians were publicly discriminated against, Lucy testified in her broken English while getting lambasted by lawyers and the public. Despite the fact that women were legally only barely able to own property, Lucy pushed for division of property and attained a shocking partial victory. Three generations ahead of her time, Lucy fought hard for Native American rights, women's rights, community property rights, and even the right of a woman to have separate property.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - The Project Day Lily story chronicles the events surrounding what the public knows as 'Gulf War Syndrome.' To this day, the public perception of that tragedy is very limited, but now there are over 150,000 veterans of that conflict that suffer from chronic illnesses and tens of thousands have died without acknowledgment or proper assistance to keep secret the origin of their illnesses. Project Day Lily tells the story of the discovery that men and women of our Armed Forces were actually exposed to chemical and biological mixtures from missiles and sprayers during the Gulf War that were supplied, in part, by a sinister network using a group of rogue bureaucrats, intelligence operatives and scientists. They were also exposed to contaminants in the multiple vaccines given during deployment. Project Day Lily presents the story of how one of these biological agents was found by two American scientists in veterans of the Gulf War and in civilians as part of a massive testing program and how various academic and governmental employees did everything in their power to prevent this information from being released to the American public.…
