The Great and the Terrible - The World's Most Glorious and Notorious Rulers and How They Got Their Names (Hardcover)
We've heard of Alexander the Great. We've heard of Ivan the Terrible. But what was so Great about Alexander? What was so Terrible about Ivan? Spanning centuries of history in a culturally diverse framework-from ancient India to nineteenth-century Hawaii, and with a balanced focus on notorious women rulers as well as male, The Great and the Terrible takes a humorous look at some of the most glorious and notorious figures in history through the lens of the nicknames they're remembered by. While some of the characters mentioned here are more prominent in world history (Cyrus the Great introduced the world's first human rights charter), others are well known only within their own cultures. The Great and the Terrible gives middle-grade readers an opportunity to dip into the breadth of world history, sampling its cultural diversity and its stranger-than-fiction historical exploits, with a mix of the sensational and the serious. It helps to correct the imbalance in many history books that currently only focus on Western Civilization, shining the spotlight on achievements (and foibles) in many different cultures. The Great and the Terrible sketches portraits of each of 25 figures and their worlds, focusing on the sensational and the superlative in each of their fascinating stories. The list of rulers included are: * Alexander the Great * Hatshepsut * Cyrus the Great * Ashoka the Great * Empress Suiko * Pacal the Great * Good King Wenceslas * Sejong the Great * Askia the Great * Lorenzo the Magnificent * Sulyman the Magnificent * Nur Jahan * Good Queen Bess (Elizabeth I) * Nanyehi * Kamehameha the Great * Attila the Hun * Bad King John * Vlad the Impaler * Bloody Mary Tudor * Ivan the Terrible * Catherine De Medici * Mad Ibrahim I * Sultan Ismail the Bloodthirsty * Queen Ranavalona the Cruel * Mad King Ludwig

He tried to teach his youngest children (including Nina, Bill, and Jack) to speak a little Cherokee about 1930, but they thought it sounded very funny, and they saw no use for it in the white world of the twentieth century. They also laughed when they heard Edd sing Cherokee songs. Therefore Edd’s kids grew up like any other rural Oklahoma kids in the early twentieth century, except in one way: they learned that they were the descendants of Nancy Ward, Beloved Woman of the Cherokees. Nanyehi, also known as Nancy Ward, was Edd’s fourth great grandmother. She may have been the most famous woman in Cherokee history. The struggles that Nanyehi endured, and the leadership that she provided, were a reflection of the tremendous and stressful changes that the Cherokee tribe underwent during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and is an important part of the background for Edd Hicks’s life. Nanyehi was only 17 years old when she distinguished herself as a war hero. She insisted on accompanying her husband to the Battle of Taliwa in 1755, between the Cherokee and Muskogee tribes. When her husband was killed, she took his rifle and killed the man who had killed her husband, then rallied the Cherokees to a decisive victory. Nanyehi was not the only warrior woman to have done this—a similar account exists for a woman named Cuhtahlutah. Partly as a result of Nanyehi’s heroism and leadership, the tribe gave her a position of power that allowed her supreme authority to decide the fate of captives and of prisoners of war, a position that could not be taken away from her. This position, called Ghigau, is often translated Beloved Woman. Women played an important role in Cherokee tribal governance until the tribe adopted a constitutional governmen |
