An archival premium Quality art Print of the 1844 Portrait of John Quincy Adams by George Caleb Bingham for sale by Brandywine General Store. This portrait of our 6th President was painted by Bingham in 1844 and is now at the National Portrait Gallery Smithsonian Institute. The original oil on canvas measures 30 by 25 inches in size. When Adams set for this portrait he didn't think the artist could capture a strong likeness of him, however after the painting was completed, Adams was pleased with the end result. John Quincy Adams was President of the United States from 1825 to 1829. John Quincy Adams was considered to be one of the best Secretaries of State that the United States ever had, however he made a poor president as he would get mad at Congress and not negotiate with them on anything, he wanted all or nothing, consequently very little got accomplished during his administration. John Quincy was the first one term President since his father, John Adams. After his term as President, John Quincy served in the House of Representatives from the state of Massachusetts, the only President of the United States to do so after they were President. Adams suffered from depression during most of his life. John Quincy Adams began a journal or diary when he was 11 years old in 1779 and kept this diary faithfully until just shortly before his death in 1848. Since his father was the 2nd President of the United States and the family knew all of the Founding Fathers of the young nation, these diaries, which fill fifty volumes, are some of the best first hand information of the founding and beginning years of the early United States. John Quincy Adams collapsed on the House floor in 1848 of a brain aneurysm and died shortly thereafter. Picture #17 Famous People painting
Book Synopsis Shahbaz Taseer's memoir of his five-year-long captivity at the hands of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan. In late August 2011, Shahbaz Taseer was dragged from his car at gunpoint and kidnapped by members of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), a Talibanaffiliated Uzbek terrorist group. Taseer's father, the governor of Punjab, Pakistan, had recently been assassinated for speaking in support of a Christian woman who had been accused of blasphemy and sentenced to death. Though Taseer himself wasn't involved in politics, he was still a public figure who represented a more tolerant, internationally connected Pakistan that the IMU condemned. What followed his kidnapping was nearly five years of torture and constant peril as Taseer was held captive by the IMU in the ungoverned reaches of Pakistan and Afghanistan, his fate subject to the unpredictable whims and machinations of terrorists. Lost to the World is his memoir of that time--a story of extraordinary sorrow but also of empathy and faith. While deeply harrowing, this tale is also about resilience. Taseer countered hiscaptors' narrative of a holy war by immersing himself in the Quran in search of hopeand a means to see his own humanity under even the most inhumane conditions, andultimately to find a way back to his family. Review Quotes "Taseer's story is both chilling and infused with bravery and wisdom. This testament to the resilience of the human spirit will inspire any reader." --Publishers Weekly "What a book. Lost to the World is a survival narrative unlike any other. In this unforgettable page-turner, true-life miracles and high-tech death fall from the sky. Our hero endures medieval torments, witnesses acts of sudden kindness, and escapes one surreal prison and battlefield after another. Above all, Shahbaz Taseer's account of his captivity and liberation is, like Papillon and Unbroken, a deeply moving testament to the triumph of the human spirit." --Héctor Tobar, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Deep Down Dark "Shahbaz Taseer draws you into his endless imprisonment. I was afraid of turning the page, afraid of what lay ahead. I found myself oscillating between tears and laughter. This memoir is a complete tour de force of emotions. I am convinced that it was Taseer's compassion and resilience that kept him alive and that he was guided by the faith he had in his family and the courage instilled in him by his father." --Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, Academy Award-winning filmmaker and journalist About the Author Shahbaz Taseer is a Pakistani businessman and the son of the late governor of Punjab, Pakistan. Taseer was held in captivity for almost five years and was recovered from Kuchlak, Balochistan, on March 8, 2016. His kidnapping was referred to by The Guardian as one of the highest-profile kidnappings in Pakistan.
