Eleanor is a little girl lost. Eleanor's Letters is a novella that explores the complicated relationship a young woman has with her father. Abandoned as a child, Eleanor is detained in a juvenile facility in upstate New York in the late 1940s. The elusive Anthony Birli, a womanizing Italian dock worker, plays with his daughter's heart through the years. Her letters paint a portrait of a life she hopes that will make her father proud, but occasionally the troubles she is experiencing pour out of her heart and onto the paper. She masks the complicated love-hate relationship she has with her own abusive, alcoholic husband and rowdy sons. Eleanor is as savvy, as she is beautiful, but lives in a society that does not reward female independence. Her suburban life in Florida is less that perfect. In short, she is the ultimate outsider, unable to form meaningful connections with her mother or brother, who is harboring his own deep secret. Just when she makes peace with her father's legacy, Eleanor makes a tragic choice, one that may have been foreshadowed.

Christopher Houston Carson (December 24, 1809 - May 23, 1868), better known as Kit Carson, was an American frontiersman. He was a mountain man (fur trapper), wilderness guide, Indian agent, and U.S. Army officer. Carson became a frontier legend in his own lifetime via biographies and news articles. Exaggerated versions of his exploits were the subject of dime novels. Carson left home in rural present-day Missouri at age 16 to become a mountain man and trapper in the West. In the 1830s, he accompanied Ewing Young on an expedition to Mexican California and joined fur trapping expeditions into the Rocky Mountains. He lived among and married into the Arapaho and Cheyenne tribes. In the 1840s, he was hired as a guide by John C. Fremont. Fremont's expedition covered much of California, Oregon, and the Great Basin area. Fremont mapped and wrote reports and commentaries on the Oregon Trail to assist and encourage westward-bound American pioneers. Carson achieved national fame through Fremont's accounts of his expeditions. Under Fremont's command, Carson participated in the uprising against Mexican rule in California at the beginning of the Mexican-American War. Later in the war, Carson was a scout and courier, celebrated for his rescue mission after the Battle of San Pasqual and for his coast-to-coast journey from California to Washington, DC to deliver news of the conflict in California to the U.S. government. In the 1850s, he was appointed as the Indian agent to the Ute Indians and the Jicarilla Apaches. During the American Civil War, Carson led a regiment of mostly Hispanic volunteers from New Mexico on the side of the Union at the Battle of Valverde in 1862. When the Confederate threat to New Mexico was eliminated, Carson led forces to suppress the Navajo, Mescalero Apache, and the Kiowa and Comanche Indians. Carson was breveted a Brigadier General and took command of Fort Garland, Colorado. He was there only briefly: poor health forced him to retire from military life. Carson was married three times and had ten children. The Carson home was in Taos, New Mexico. Carson died at Fort Lyon, Colorado, of an aortic aneurysm on May 23, 1868. He is buried in Taos, New Mexico, next to his third wife Josefa Jaramillo.............. Elizabeth Eleanor Greatorex (1854-1917) was an American painter and illustrator.... John Stevens Cabot Abbott (September 19, 1805 - June 17, 1877), an American historian, pastor, and pedagogical writer, was born in Brunswick, Maine to Jacob and Betsey Abbott. Early life: He was a brother of Jacob Abbott, and was associated with him in the management of Abbott's Institute, New York City, and in the preparation of his series of brief historical biographies. Dr. Abbott graduated at Bowdoin College in 1825, prepared for the ministry at Andover Theological Seminary, and between 1830 and 1844, when he retired from the ministry in the Congregational Church, preached successively at Worcester, Roxbury and Nantucket, all in Massachusetts. Literary career: Owing to the success of a little work, The Mother at Home, he devoted himself, from 1844 onwards, to literature. He was a voluminous writer of books on Christian ethics, and of popular histories, which were credited with cultivating a popular interest in history. He is best known as the author of the widely popular History of Napoleon Bonaparte (1855), in which the various elements and episodes in Napoleon's career are described. Abbott takes a very favourable view towards his subject throughout. Also among his principal works are: History of the Civil War in America (1863-1866), and The History of Frederick II, Called Frederick the Great (New York, 1871). He also did a forward to a book called Life of Boone by W.M. Bogart, about Daniel Boone in 1876. In general, except that he did not write juvenile fiction, his work in subject and style closely resembles that of his brother, Jacob Abbott....
Chilling, poetic and unrelentingly beautiful, are just some of the descriptions given to the haunting figurative works of Scottish artist Eleanor Adair. Born in Glasgow in 1967, Adair captures both the soul and savageness of humanity through her portraits. A selection of paintings and drawings are complimented by words throughout, conveying the thoughts of the artist and providing an insight into both her practice and inspiration.

Eleanor of Aquitaine, Caterina Sforza, Lucrezia Borgia, Catherine de? Medici, Ma: Five Renaissance Wonders

The world has always known women of exceptional intelligence and courage, from Greek Sappho to the women who harnessed themselves to the wagons they pulled across the Great Plains to the home of my birth, the Great Salt Lake. For me the most intrepid was Eleanor of Aquitaine, the only woman to be Queen of France and Queen of England, married to perhaps the greatest of all English kings, Henry II, and mother of the warrior Richard Coeur de Lion. Caterina Sforza defended Rome from the walls of Castel Sant'Angelo, abandoned by her husband whom the pope had placed at the head of his troops. Deflowered at age 10 by a sociopath that her adored father had given her for husband, defeated and abused by Cesare Borgia, she gave birth to the very last of the condottiere, Giovanni della Bande Nere. Cesare Borgia strangled his sister Lucrezia Borgia's beloved husband Alphonso, and she was present when he caught up with her lover Petro Calderon who had run into the apartments of Pope Alexander VI, taking shelter in his robes, the pope shielding the boy's head while Cesare knifed him through the holy vestments, his blood splattering the pope's face. Catherina de' Medici spent her life trying to bring peace between French Catholics and Protestants, but was finally forced to trigger the greatest massacre in French history until the Revolution. She governed France as regent under three kings, all of whom were her sons. Lastly, Mary Queen of Scots, a woman who used life and allowed life to use her, the very reason for our existence, who studded her nights with lovers, as did Lucrezia Borgia, Eleanor of Aquitaine and Caterina Sforza, and was finally defeated by a fellow woman who had Mary's decapitated head held high by the roots of her gray hair, the reason there will be no chapter on the self-proclaimed Virgin Queen. This book is dedicated to such women, all of whom took their destinies in hand, ancient marvels, proof that women need beg men for nothing; proof of their ability to rule and thrive and cause us all to wonder.

Eleanor of AquitaineEleanor of Aquitaine became the queen of both France and England, the wife of two kings, and later the mother of two kings. Heiress to the rich French provinces of Aquitaine and Poitou, she was undoubtedly one of medieval Europe's most powerful and wealthy women. Inside you will read about...- Duchess of Aquitaine, Queen of France- Eleanor and King Louis Joins the Crusade- The Royal Divorce- Continuing Conflict and Courtly Love- At the Center of Rebellion- Fifteen Years of CaptivityAnd much more Eleanor of Aquitaine has, not surprisingly, captured many imaginations. From inciting her sons to rebel against their father to the tale of her "courts of love," where she reportedly fostered the idea of courtly love and promoted the arts, to her captivity and later tireless work to rescue her son Richard the Lionheart from his imprisonment, Eleanor's life is a tangle of legend mixed with the struggle to interpret the sometimes-scarce facts. This does not make it any less fascinating-or any less worthy of study. In this book, you will find a concise exploration of the life of one of the medieval world's most memorable figures.

"This volume fills a void in current studies of Eleanor Roosevelt. Offering a comprehensive analysis of Roosevelt as a diplomat during the Cold War era, it is particularly insightful in analyzing her position on United States race relations while at the United Nations. It provides a new look at Roosevelt’s leadership from an American perspective played out on a global stage."- Maurine H. Beasley, Professor Emerita, University of Maryland College Park, USA"My grandmother was an ardent "small-d" democrat, as well as a Democrat - but she didn't think we were very mature in our living of it! This well-written and illuminating collection of essays, focused on what ER thought it meant to be a global citizen, offers a unique perspective of her views on a host of issues. Let us hope these fresh insights can inspire young people today to construct that better world to which she dedicated much of her life."- Anna Eleanor RooseveltThis book focuses on Eleanor Roosevelt’s multifaceted agenda for the world. It highlights her advocacy of human rights, multilateral diplomacy, and transnationalism, and it emphasizes her challenge to gendered norms and racial relations. The essays of this collection describe Eleanor Roosevelt as a public intellectual, a politician, a public diplomat, and an activist. She was, undeniably, one of the protagonists of the twentieth century and a proactive interpreter of the many changes it brought about. She went through two world wars, the harshness of the Great Depression, and the emergence of nuclear confrontation, and she deciphered such crises as the product of misleading nationalism and egoism. Against them, she offered her commitment to people’s education as an example of civic engagement, which she considered necessary for the functioning of any democratic order. Such was the world Eleanor Roosevelt envisioned and tried to build –symbolically and practically – one where people, the citizens of the world, may really be at the center of international affairs.
