Much of the eastern region of what is now the State of Colorado was part of Kansas Territory. Originally part of Missouri Territory, it was unorganized from 1821 to 1854. The territory extended from the Missouri border west to the summit of the Rocky Mountains and from the 37th parallel north to the 40th parallel north. The Territory of Kansas was an organized incorporated territory of the United States that existed from May 30, 1854, until January 29, 1861, when the eastern portion of the territory was admitted to the Union as the free state of Kansas. ![]()

![]() In this new study, Ian Hughes assesses whether Constantine would have deserved the title “the Great” for his military achievements alone, or whether the epithet depends upon the gratitude of Christian historians.Īll of Constantine’s campaigns are narrated and his strategic and tactical decisions analyzed. He fought numerous campaigns, many against Roman rivals for Imperial power, most famously defeating Maxentius at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge. However, his path to sole rule of the Roman Empire depended more upon the ruthless application of military might than upon his espousal of Christianity. Much of Constantine I’s claim to lasting fame rests upon his sponsorship of Christianity, and many works have been published assessing whether his apparent conversion was a real religious experience or a cynical political maneuver. ![]() ![]() A new analysis of the strengths, organization, weapons, and tactics of the Roman army Constantine inherited and his military reforms. ![]() ![]() It’d be equivalent to nearly three years of normal wages if he had a normal job.

It probably sucks to step into such a popular series, so I say job well done - even if I wish Jennifer was still doing it. ![]() ![]() Chapter 44 - with all the high lords? And that scene with the cliff? Oh - and Lord Grayson scene with Elaine? Come on. I admit, it took a while for her to find her stride, I think, but once I got past my initial shock and dismay, and I started listening to the story itself? I was still interested, and I was still moved. They couldn't have had the time to listen to it. And since this book is over 25 hours long, how were people writing reviews THE FIRST DAY IT CAME OUT!? I don't think half those people even gave the new narrator a chance. ![]() I felt like I got to know her, and now it was like a completely different person. I just miss the overall tone of Jennifer as Feyre. Lucien's brothers were fantastically evil. Why the switch!? I wish she had kept going, and I don't know why they chose someone new, but honestly? Once I got over being pissed off, it wasn't that bad! I mean, Amanda is no Jennifer, but I think she did her best. I loved the first 2 books SO MUCH! Jennifer Ikeda ruled. ![]() After seeing these reviews, I was really scared to listen to this. ![]() ![]() Gilman – The Yellow Wallpaper (1892)īoth of the graphic novels discussed in this post were published by SelfMadeHero this year: Haddon Hall: When David invented Bowie in February and Nick Cave: Mercy on Me in September.

I did some major ugly crying while reading the last bit of The Friend Zone. The question is: With his music career on the rise, how long will Jason really stick around? And is it possible for Sloan to survive another heartbreak? There’s no telling what could happen when they meet in person. As their flirty texts turn into long calls, Sloan can’t deny a connection. Well, Sloan’s not about to give up her dog without a fight. Then, after weeks of unanswered texts, Tucker’s owner reaches out. With her new pet by her side, Sloan finally starts to feel more like herself. But one trouble-making pup with a “take me home” look in his eyes is about to change everything. ![]() Two years after losing her fiancé, Sloan Monroe still can’t seem to get her life back on track. There are some major spoilers in the second book, and the story is really a continuation of the first book. ![]() STOP before you read any further I would HIGHLY recommend you read The Friend Zone (the first book in this series) before you start this book or read this review. Get ready to fall in love with the second book in The Friend Zone series. I was everything to him and he made me know it, every single day. I was sick and gross, but he didn’t care. He looked at me like I was the most beautiful woman in the world. There was something so tender in the way he touched me it made me forget to breathe. ![]() ![]() Marina has written for many publications and is a contributing editor to The London Review of Books.

Tristan is not the sole seeker of the star a powerful witch-queen and the dark Lords of Stronghold also have their designs upon the fallen celestial body. Tristan sets out on his quest, entering the realm of Faerie, and soon encounters a variety of fantastical denizens, both good and evil. When a star falls from the sky, a disdainful Victoria promises Tristan his heart's desire if he will bring her that star. Raised without knowledge of his fairy blood, Tristan falls in love with a local beauty, Victoria Forester. There, every nine years, a fair is held where the magic folk commingle, occasionally in intimate ways, with those who live in the mundane world. The story begins in the Victorian-era English village of Wall, a place that touches the world of Faerie. Here, Gaiman extends his range by offering a novel-length fairy tale, one that abounds in wonder and lessons. For more than a decade, Gaiman has been helping readers grapple with reality by offering fantastic worlds in visionary graphic novels like The Sandman, occasional short stories and his bestselling first prose novel, Neverwhere. Wallace Stevens believed that in order to see the actual world, it helps to visualize a fantastic one. ![]() ![]() Making use of an astonishing cache of little-studied material, including documents, objects, and portraits only just discovered, Jill Lepore brings Jane Franklin to life in a way that illuminates not only this one extraordinary woman but an entire world. ![]() It is a life that has never been examined before: that of the sister of one of the most remarkable men of their time, living unknown to the world at large, but a constant presence and influence in her brother's life through their correspondence (he wrote more letters to her than to anyone else). ![]() From one of our most accomplished and widely admired historians-a revelatory portrait of Benjamin Franklin's youngest sister, whose obscurity and poverty were matched only by her brother's fame and wealth but who, like him, was a passionate reader, a gifted writer, and an astonishingly shrewd political commentator. ![]() |
