ebooks The Captured: A True Story of Abduction by Indians on the Texas Frontier by Scott Zesch in History

Description

In this important work of historical restoration; Amos Elon shows how a persecuted clan of cattle dealers and wandering peddlers was transformed into a stunningly successful community of writers; philosophers; scientists; tycoons; and activists. In engaging; brilliantly etched portraits of Moses Mendelssohn; Heinrich Heine; Karl Marx; Hannah Arendt; and many others; Elon traces how a small minority came to be perceived as a deadly threat to German national integrity.
