Excerpt from Memoirs of Napoleon An historian will one day arise who will do justice to Bonaparte's merit: as for myself, I do not even pretend to aspire to the honour of being his biographer. I am only about to relate all that I know of this extraordinary man, and which I believe I know - well that which I have seen and heard, and of which I have preserved numerous notes. With confidence I call him an extraordinary man, who, owing everything to himself, acquired the most absolute sway over a great and enlightened nation, obtained so many victories, subdued so many states, distributed crowns to his family, made and unmade kings, and who became nearly the most ancient sovereign in Europe, and who was, without doubt, the most distinguished of his age; such an individual cannot be called an ordinary man. Napoleon Bonaparte was born at Ajaccio, in Corsica, on the 15th of August, 1769. The name was originally written Buonaparte; but during the first campaign in Italy he dropped the u, merely to render the spelling conformable with the pronunciation, and to abridge his signature.

In Sovereign Stories, Annette Angela Portillo examines Native American women’s autobiographical discourses and multiple-voiced life stories that resist generic conventional notions of first-person narrative. She argues that these “sovereign stories” and “blood memories” not only reveal the multilayered histories and identities shared by each author, but demonstrate how their narratives are grounded in ancestral memory and land. These autobiographies recall settler-colonialism, deterritorialization, and genocide as the writers and activist-scholars reclaim their voices across cultural, national, and digital boundaries. Portillo provides close readings of memoirs, life stories, oral histories, blogs, social media sites, and experimental multigenre narratives including those by Delfina Cuero, Ruby Modesto, Leslie Marmon Silko, Pretty-Shield, Zitkala-Sa, and Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins.

Excerpt from Memoirs of the Queens of Prussia An account of the Lives of the Queens of Prussia cannot fail to possess some interest for the English reader, independent of all merit of composition, at a moment when England is about to bestow the eldest of her royal daughters upon the Crown Prince, and, in all human probability, the future Sovereign of that country. With the greater confidence, therefore, I now lay before the public the following "Memoirs of the Queens of Prussia;" the materials for which have in great part been selected from the memoirs of contemporary authors, the despatches of foreign ambassadors, &c. during a residence of some time in the dominions of the King of Prussia. And let me here offer my sincere thanks to all those who have contributed to aid me in my researches, or to lighten my labours by their kindness, during my sojourn in Germany.
