Contested valley [large print] / by Ingram, Hunter,author.(CARDINAL)828226;
"California was the promised land. The railroad took hundreds of immigrants out there every year -- immigrants hungry for their own farms, willing to work the soil, build the ditches for water, till, seed, plow and break their backs because they believed the land was theirs. But it wasn't. It was only promised, and the railroad held an unshakable grip on it. Until one man came who believed he had the right to fight . . . Oakes Paulsen was built like the tree he was named after. And although he was the younger of the two Paulsen boys, he had always taken care of his older brother, Ross. So when Ross pulled stakes and lit out for California as soon as he heard about the land the railroad was giving away, Oakes went along. He didn't trust his brother to take care of himself, much less his new bride, Josie. Oakes was right. He ended up taking care of Ross, and Josie, and just about half the State of California. . . ."--

The contest : the 1968 election and the war for America's soul / by Schumacher, Michael,1950-author.(CARDINAL)767130;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 518-524) and index.Hubert Humphrey : the long road to contention -- Eugene McCarthy : making of a grassroots candidacy -- Richard Nixon : reboot -- George Wallace : politics of race -- Robert Kennedy : shadows of indecision -- New Hampshire : victorious losers -- Wisconsin : a reward for the challenger -- Torrents of rage and sorrow -- Indiana : killing floor -- Nebraska : expectations, high and low -- Oregon : McCarthy's big stand -- California : a time to be born, a time to die -- Summer doldrums -- Miami : "Let's win this one for Ike" -- Resistance -- Chicago : preserving disorder -- The final lap -- America votes.A dramatic, deeply informed account of one of the most consequential elections and periods in American history, 1968--rife with riots, assassinations, anti-Vietnam War protests, and realpolitik--was one of the most tumultuous years in the twentieth century, culminating in one of the most consequential presidential elections in American history. The Contest tells the story of that contentious election and that remarkable year. Bringing a fresh perspective to events that still resonate half a century later, this book is especially timely, giving us the long view of a turning point in American culture and politics. Author Michael Schumacher sets the stage with a deep look at the people with important roles in the unfolding drama: Lyndon B. Johnson, Robert F. Kennedy, Eugene McCarthy, George Wallace, Richard Nixon, and especially Hubert H. Humphrey, whose papers and journals afford surprising new insights. Following these politicians in the lead-up to the primaries, through the chaotic conventions, and down the home stretch to the general election, The Contest combines biographical and historical details to create a narrative as intimate in human detail as it is momentous in scope and significance. An election year when the competing forces of law and order and social justice were on the ballot, the Vietnam War divided the country, and the liberal regime begun with Franklin D. Roosevelt was on the defensive, 1968 marked a profound shift in the nation's culture and sense of itself. Thorough in its research and spellbinding in the telling, Schumacher's book brings sharp focus to that year and its lessons for our current critical moment in American politics.A dramatic, deeply informed account of one of the most consequential elections and periods in American history.
