books about: colfax     books:       Hard Times in Paradise7 reviews David Colfax, Micki Colfax Grand Central Publishing, 1992 Excellent first-hand account of the evolution of a homeschoo This book is well worth the money, if you want to learn what the Colfax kids really did to become the students that were accepted at Harvard. All the real life learning, hands-on projects that were essential to survival in the CA mountains, and learning to think, improvise and make it work! However, the Colfax's are just as proud of their fourth son, who didn't attend Harvard.

Meltzer University of California Press, 2006 Most likely best book on Folsom for avocational archys Well David J. Meltzer is a Phd, and I am just an average joe who loves archaeology, especially north American archaeology. The two "five-hundred pound" gorillas in north American prehistory are Clovis and Folsom "cultures". Most folks focus more on Clovis as it is deemed earlier. However, comparing Clovis and Folsom dart points, which about all the physical remains of their culture, Folsom to ...             The Day Freedom Died: The Colfax Massacre, the Supreme Court, and the Betrayal of Reconstruction10 reviews Charles Lane Henry Holt and Co., 2008 Should be required reading I read "The Day Freedom Died" during a family "Backroads" vacation in Wyoming visiting our national parks. Members of our group would often have to arouse me from my deep inhalation of Lane's words to see sights along the way, "Yeah, nice," I'd mutter, as The Grand Tetons, Yellowstone Lake, and Old Faithful passed in the distance.I can't recall my ever reading a book so quickly or intensely. ...             The Colfax Massacre: The Untold Story of Black Power, White Terror and the Death of Reconstruction4 reviews LeeAnna Keith Oxford University Press, USA, 2008 An excellent book, and all too timely LeeAnna Keith's book explores what was surely one of the most tragic moments in the history of Reconstruction -- a moment when the hopes of African-Americans and the anger and fear of Southern whites clashed with particular violence. This alone would make it an important story. However, the book also represents a recovery effort of sorts, because subsequent historians of the period have not ...             Across the Continent: A Summer's Journey to the Rocky Mountains, the Mormons, & the Pacific States with ...5 reviews Samuel Bowles Reprint Services Corporation, 1991 Post Civil War Officers forced Indians onto reservations The concept of Manifest Destiny took root during the Mexican American War, and assumed grander proportions following the Civil War. Gen. Crook had been a calvery officer whose services proved to be of considerable value, as much for his ability as for his compassion for the Indians. His job was to protect the settlers and subdue the Indians by locating them on reservations. The author was ...             Frank Springer and New Mexico: From the Colfax County War to the Emergence of Modern Santa Fe2 reviews David L. Caffey Texas A&M University Press, 2007 Great Great book on a little-known figure in New Mexico. Or, should I say, a forgotten figure. AT the time he was very well known, but we tend to forget our history.             For Good or Bad: People of the Cimarron Country2 reviews Sunstone Press, 1999 Fond of western books This book is absolutely entertaining. I've spent quite a bit of time in and around Cimarron, New Mexico and the book is reflective of the history. It is very easy to read and interesting. Both myself and my fiancé deeply enjoyed it and plan to read more of the author's books. We both highly recommended this interesting book.             Homeschooling for Excellence19 reviews David Colfax Mountain House Press, 1988 Awesome We start homeschooling next year. The Colfaxs' approach was refreshing, and added a lot of insight to what homeschooling can be like without the formal curricula. They used an approach that makes sense, and gives children a freedom to learn and grow that we haven't seen in all the years our oldest child has been in school. Their boys also were able to still be boys without the restrictions that ...             Across the Continent: A Summer's Journey to the Rocky Mountains, the Mormons, and the Pacific States with ...
