"My Life had stood - a Loaded Gun" is a poem written by Emily Dickinson that explores themes of femininity, power, and the complexities of identity. Through the metaphor of a loaded gun, Dickinson delves into the idea that women are often expected to conform to societal expectations and roles, and that they may feel trapped and silenced by these expectations.
At the same as the speaker in the poem, the loaded gun represents the potential for power and agency, but also the burden and danger that comes with it. The gun is "loaded" with the expectations and roles that society has placed on the speaker, and she is constantly "cocked" and "ready" to perform and fulfill these expectations. The speaker is aware of the power she holds, but also recognizes that she is at the mercy of those who would "finger" and "handle" her, suggesting that she does not have complete control over her own body or identity.
The poem also touches on the theme of femininity, as the speaker is described as being "tender" and "gentle," traits that are often associated with traditional ideas of femininity. However, the speaker also asserts her strength and power, stating that she is "deadly," and that she "could" and "would" act if necessary. This tension between traditional femininity and the power and agency that comes with it is a common theme in feminist literature, and it highlights the complexities and contradictions that many women face in their lives.
In terms of a feminist analysis, "My Life had stood - a Loaded Gun" can be seen as a commentary on the ways in which society tries to control and define women's roles and identities. The metaphor of the loaded gun suggests that women are expected to be ready and willing to fulfill the expectations placed upon them, but that they may also feel trapped and silenced by these expectations. The poem also highlights the power and agency that women have, even if it is often suppressed or ignored by those around them. Overall, "My Life had stood - a Loaded Gun" is a powerful and thought-provoking poem that explores themes of femininity, power, and identity in a unique and compelling way.
The Trail of Tears (1995 edition)
One of Jackson's appointees married my Creek ancestor. Although hardly comprehensive such an account of the Indian removals east of the Mississipi would require many volumes , Jahoda nonetheless provides a rather exhaustive review of the removal of the "five civilized tribes" as well as a number of midwestern peoples. Here too are the monumental figures of the age, men of greed, hatred, honor and inspiration, including: Andrew Jackson, who created the policy and presided over its ruthless execution Sir St. Signs of wear include aesthetic issues such as scratches, worn covers, damaged binding. Many tribes, much greed and racist disregard for the natives. Description: Wings, August 1995. The Trail of Tears was not "merely" the story of the removal of the Cherokee people, it was the story of dozens and dozens of tribes and nations.

The Trail of Tears by Gloria Jahoda (9780517146774)
Bottom edge of jacket lightly bumped. I'm glad I read it! It was a challege to put all 300+ pages away in a couple of weeks, but it was well worth the time. Should be required reading in our schools. The Indians who settled in Kansas and Nebraska are removed a second time in the 1850's to make way for the transcontinental railroad. . I think the catastrophe of this era was eclipsed by the Civil War.

He then helped himself to her family's land, slaves, crops, and other belongings, and hastened to "advise" the suffering, dwindling tribe and guide them to an uncertain future west of the Mississippi. The villain of the piece is Andrew Jackson, both as Indian fighter and as president. Also, "A Sorrow In Our Heart: The Life of Tecumseh" by Allan W. And that's most Oklahomans. The author's description of the powerful chiefs and their dedication to their tribes was moving.

A very human book. It's a disturbing tale, yet another disturbing tale. I have always admired native americans and wanted to read more about this sad part of their history. Stock photos may not look exactly like the book. Jahoda's history aims for a more narrative style, almost like historical fiction. Minor rubbing and edge wear to cover, with light reader wear to pages. Because the Indians weren't united, the removal and relocation was made easier.

. Very balanced with no point of view overlooked. At any rate, I learned so, so many things about Native American culture, lives, and their relationships with their new neighbors and each other. What distinguished those who stood up in opposition, and how could they have been more effective? He was in charge of one if the removals. I attempted this after failing at 'Bury my heart at wounded knee', hoping I would find it more engaging, but I am ashamed to say that yet again I am sadly defeated.

The Trail of Tears: The Story of the American Indian Removals 1813
In spite of Jackson, however, the Creeks and members of dozens of other "removed" tribes have survived and thrived. Although difficult at times to keep my attention set on every page, I felt like I was reading an encyclopedia more than once. She covered the good and the bad people that participated in the tragic removal of the proud Indian tribes. She describes the violence, the wars, the meaningless treaties and political double-dealing that spread from Washington to the fr In this poignant and powerful book, Gloria Jahoda makes use of hitherto unpublished sources to relate in unprecedented depth and detail the history of Indian courage in the face of white expansion during the first half of the nineteenth century. The inability of the European to recognize the wonder of other people and to learn from them and coexist appalls me! I wanted to be upset, but if I lived back then, would I have been? As soon as I opened it, I was pulled into the story- I couldn't put it down. Among her gifts as a chronicler: training in anthropology, enabling her to begin the story of each tribe's doom with its own vital, mythic account of its origins; a pointed and bitter wit turned loose on the complexities of history though she is the Indians' advocate, she doesn't underplay the role their own factionalism played in their downfall ; a knack for evoking an unspoiled America as these indigenous peoples must have loved it. Such a tragic event.

The Trail of Tears
What is sad is this greed and mentality still exist today in our country among our leaders and citizens alike. It's hard to put into words the disgust I felt as I read this and other publications, "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee", being just one of those. The trail of tears, may now be covered up by the hardened roadways of America's forefathers, but it is rendered open and bared within the pages of "The Trail of Tears. Horrible to pick up. Jahoda's book lacks the sweep and structure of Dee Brown's-it is episodic and repetitive, as indeed was the history of these atrocities-but at times her narration of the terrible journeys approaches the eloquence of Indian oratory itself much quoted here, for once in context. I found it hard to read not due to the writing style; but, due to the events it depicted. An occasional overstress on outrage better conveyed by the stark facts doesn't mar the effect of history redivivus.

The cities of Sandusky, Ohio, Tampa, Florida, Chicago, Illinois, Chattanooga and Nashville, Tennessee, St. But the map provided by the National Park Service, indicating the magnitude and complexity of the Trail of Tears, is quite chilling. In short, it was open season not only on Indian property but on their persons as well. Although difficult at times to keep my attention set on every page, I felt like I was reading an encyclopedia more than once. I didn't find anything particularly obvious but I did find a different ancestor, completely out if the blue. General Tipton had terrible experiences with other Natives that shamefully drove his outlook on all of them.

The Trail of Tears : American Indian Removals; Jahoda; First Edition 1/1 9780030148712
Gloria Jahoda has attempted to write a Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee for these people, a chronicle of what was really the first movement in the large-scale, purposeful decimation of the Indians: herding them hastily westward in winter, barefoot, thinly clad, underprovisioned, and dying of cholera, frostbite, smallpox and starvation, to ""Indian Territory,"" where the Wounded Knee era would finish them off. But this tragedy does not quite end with the migration. Such a tragic event. There were to be no exceptions; everyone must go. I no longer have a favorable opinion of him. .

The Trail of Tears : American Indian Removals; Jahoda; First Edition 1/1
The Trail of Tears--the Cherokee name for their forced march westward to Oklahoma, literally and simply ""the trail where we cried""--was in fact many Trails: those of the Choctaws, Chickasaws, Creeks, Shawnees, Ohio Senecas, Sac and Fox, and other Southeastern and Midwestern tribes who lost their ancestral lands, their identities and often their lives as a consequence of Andrew Jackson's Indian Removal Act of 1830. If Dante were an American of the period, he certainly would have put Jackson into his innermost circle of Hell. The misery described within this book is truly heart wrenching. So, it's hard to say that I "really liked it," but I do think it's a valuable book to have read. Such an excellent book about a horrific and shameful time in U. It's a sad book, with a sameness to the stories of the forced travels out of the East and deaths, that become overwhelming with the retellings.
