John Markham: The Origins of Virginia's Pirate

John Markham: The Origins of Virginia's Pirate

nidottu
"It is a fascinating read, and I am now convinced that John Markham was the ancestor of Chief Justice John Marshall. Many cheers to Kathleen Shelby Boyett for her great job of research " David W. MorganJohn Markham operated a mercantile business in Alexandria, Virginia from the 1680s through the early part of the eighteenth century. To fill his coffers, he traded back and forth with his native England for goods that the Colonies needed and vice-versa. He was said to be a daring, greedy rascal who did not mind hurting others to get what he wanted. Handsome and dashing, he was also popular with the ladies of the period. Then one day in March of 1683, he turned a corner in his privateering career, a turn that led him into outright piracy. Yet, there are those who say John Markham never existed. Who is telling the truth? Here for the first time, the traditional family stories are told and analyzed so as to get as close to the truth as is possible. Was Lewis Markham, respectable sheriff and associate of the Washington family, the father of Elizabeth Markham? Or was her father John Markham, the devilish pirate? Set sail on the high seas and discover the answer with noted International Author and Personal Historian Kathleen Shelby Boyett."Bought and read your book. I LOVE IT Never be afraid to toot your own horn "Rhonda Rogers Corbett"My copy came yesterday. LOVING IT. I am impressed with the research and thought that went into this book. It is I who thank you and am grateful you are devoted to telling our ancestors' stories, putting a voice and flesh to our people." Robin Coffman

Conservative Philanthropies and Organizations Shaping U.S. Educational Policy and Practice

Conservative Philanthropies and Organizations Shaping U.S. Educational Policy and Practice

Kathleen deMarris; Brigette A. Herron; Janie Copple

Stylus Publishing
2020
sidottu
This book is about conservative philanthropies, the organizations and individuals within their networks, and the strategies they use to shape educational policy and practice in K-12 and higher education. Each chapter examines a philanthropy, philanthropic network, or corporation focused on pushing an agenda of individualism, privatization, and conservative ideologies. Based in extensive research, including the tax filings of specific philanthropic foundations, the authors demonstrate how the philanthropic elite work within federal, state, and local governmental contexts to influence policy and practice. Within a global context of increasing wealth inequality, the authors question the motivations of these privileged few to withhold tax dollars from the US treasury where duly elected representatives can determine how tax dollars are used to benefit society. By allowing these philanthropic organizations tax exemptions under the guise of assumed benevolence, are citizens giving up their ability to hold these organizations accountable for how the money is spent? This book, aimed at a general audience of educators, provides the in-depth knowledge necessary to understand and resist private control of public policies and institutions.

Born into an Irish Catholic family, Kathleen entered a religious order in France when she was 17 years old. Working and living in the prison of La Roquette, she was thrown into the Parisian underworld of crime, drugs and prostitution. Without any training and very little knowledge of the language, she struggled with homesickness, despair and loneliness. She found consolation in her faith and in knowing that she was doing God's will.But was this enough to sustain her mental and physical strength? How did this experience affect her future? Years of living with low self-esteem, fear of God and authority, together with doubts in faith and religion took its toll. However, hoping and praying for better things to come, love found a way."I have been captivated, moved to tears and moved to laugh out loud too."- Sorcha O'Malley, editor"A captivating life story."- Author Wendy Scott
