Hardback. Condición: Very Good. An Adventure in 1914 is a memoir written by my great grandfather Thomas Tileston Wells of New York City.  Wells, a lawyer, wrote this document after a harrowing journey he took in the summer of 1914 with his wife and two children.  He had planned on pleasurable hikes in the Swiss and Austrian Tyrol.  Instead he was a witness to history's greatest train wreck - the outbreak of World War I.  Wells wrote poignantly about the mobilization of European armies and its effect on the soldier's families.  He wrote about the impossibility of using a return ticket on French railway lines when all trains were being used to transport soldiers.  Wells was even arrested and threatened by Austrian authorities with immediate execution on the grounds of being a Russian spy!  Wells escaped but his manuscript was never published.until now. In order to properly edit and provide context for Wells' memoir I needed to experience some of what he experienced.  In the summer of 2015 I retraced the journey taken by Wells and his family over a century ago.  I stayed at hotels where he had stayed, traveled by rail and boat taking photography along the way.  As a historian (America Invades and Italy Invades: How Italians Conquered the World) I am fascinated by a time period when the world fundamentally changed.  Wells was a witness to these tumultuous changes in the summer of 1914 and I am delighted to share his Adventure with the world.…

Hardback. Condición: Good. Have you ever wondered why some towns in Texas have French names?  Or why there's a statue of a Shawnee chief at the US Naval Academy?  Or what coastal wildlife refuges have to do with American fears of invasion?  And what the Olive Oil Riot in Montana was really all about?  America Invaded has the answers to these intriguing questions, and so many more. Ever since they first set foot on the North American continent, humans have explored, discovered, established boundaries - and subsequently invaded - all across the territory we now call the United States.  In America Invaded, we track some of the many explorations and invasions that founded or destroyed towns, that set and reset state lines, and that shaped the peoples and culture of this nation.…
