Dead Man's Creek rises two miles southwest of this site and flows southeast to the Devils River, while Dead Man's Canyon begins a mile to the northeast and runs west to the Pecos. Two similar topographic names nearby recall the risks of 19th century travel. Santleben chronicled several deaths in the area over a 40-year period, totaling nearly 400 in southwest Texas. The pass was considered dangerous as late as the early 1880s. In A Texas Pioneer, freighter August Santleben (1845-1911) enumerated several dozen civilians and soldiers killed along the trail, including five members of the Amlung family and seven others who perished here one day in 1858. However, dangerous conditions continued for many years. SE) proved to be too remote, the army established Camp Hudson on the Devils River 10 miles north of here in 1857. Army attempted to protect travelers on the hazardous road. Four teamsters were killed in the encounter. N) and passed through here en route to San Antonio for supplies. In 1850, a group met a similar fate when they turned back from Beaver Lake (25 mi. Lyon's wagon train that year ended with two teamsters and an unknown number of Indians dead. Also known as Dead Man's Run, the feature was named by 1849 an ambush on a Dr. Adding to the hardships of a journey that took several weeks, this particular area was notorious for wild animal attacks and raids by Native Americans and highwaymen. This narrow canyon marks a remote and perilous section of a road traveled from San Antonio to El Paso and on to California following the Gold Rush of the 1840s. But another part of me was, like Kelly, frustrated by yet another representation of Austen that fed the beast that enables presumably intelligent people to describe Austen with a straight face as “the 19th-century version of Barbara Cartland”. And so when the bank produced this mocked-up note, part of me was delighted. Rather, it was the culmination of a hard-fought campaign that I started when the bank announced that the only female historical figure on our banknotes was being replaced with Winston Churchill. It was not, as Kelly asserts, a simple matter of the Bank of England celebrating the bicentenary of Austen’s death. I also have mixed feelings about this banknote. The background is a stately home “where Jane didn’t live” and the selected quotation – “I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading!” – is “spoken by a character who shortly afterwards yawns and throws her book aside”. The “idealised picture” chosen by the bank looks “far less grumpy” than the “unfinished sketch it’s based on”. Judging from her introduction to Jane Austen: The Secret Radical, it seems fair to say that Helena Kelly is not a fan of the forthcoming Jane Austen £10 note. Jane Austen: “I do not write for such dull Elves As have not a great deal of Ingenuity themselves.” Jane Austen: “I do not write for such dull Elves As have not a great deal of Ingenuity themselves.” Helena Kelly makes the case for Austen as an author steeped in the fear of war and revolution who wrote about the burning political issues of the time And while the beautiful, independent lady has sworn not to marry, this wrong.

Only when she's rendered Buchanan unconscious and dragged him back to her family's castle does the truth emerge-it's not Rory she's kidnapped but his brother Conran.

The whole concept of this book was fun, empowering and very very literaryas it featured many favourite authors such as Alice Oseman and Sara Barnard. The fact she takes on a lot is quite similar to how I am so I could relate to her a lot and at the end of the book we saw the effect this had on her but also the brave decisions she made due to it. The book showed her fun ,bossy, sensitive ,caring and influential personality. Her personality is great especially when she’s with her friends and then making her new friends in the petition against the school library’s new rules. I loved Olivia as a character, I don’t think I have read a book with a Demi-sexualprotagonist before so that was new.

As the audience awaited some sort of controversial statement or hot take, the author simply said, “These stories are yours. Zahn has a unique perspective, being an author who created one of the most iconic characters and trilogy in Legends, then seeing the character not only repurposed but brought to life in animation. When questions began, an member of the audience asked Zahn to weigh in on the Legends/Disney-canon debate, referencing Lucasfilm’s wiping of all literary, comic, and video game content after the Disney acquisition in 2012 to give future storytellers a clean slate. If you’ve ever had the pleasure to meet Zahn, he’s incredibly generous with his time and has nothing but good things to say about the Star Wars universe he’s been playing in for nearly thirty-years.
