"I leaned over the edge to let anyone see and touch the medal that Northern Ireland had brought away from the Olympics. It wasn't mine, it was ours." In September 1972, after years of hard work, sacrifice and dedication, Mary Peters won the gold medal for the pentathlon at the Munich Olympics. Her skill as an athlete could not be disputed, yet this was to mark only the beginning of her story. A beloved figure in her adopted home of Northern Ireland, Mary has spent decades promoting and encouraging its young sportspeople. From establishing its first high standard synthetic athletic track, to founding the Mary Peters Sports Trust, she has been a stalwart ambassador for sport and for Northern Ireland itself, and has received several royal honors in recognition of her services to sport and the community. With over 60 photographs set alongside lively commentary and insight into contemporary events, this is the definitive account of a truly remarkable woman: 'Our Mary'. "A joyful trailblazer, Mary takes her place amongst those few special sporting stars who have achieved legendary status - both as an athlete and in her achievements since leaving the track." - DAME KATHERINE GRAINGER DBE "I owe so much to Mary Peters. I was a beneficiary of one of her foundation's grants, and for that, and for her continued support, I will always be grateful." - CARL FRAMPTON MBE "Mary Peters is an inspiration. She has used her success to encourage and support so many people in reaching their potential, personally demonstrating how to overcome the disappointments and celebrate the achievements." - JOSLYN HOYTE-SMITH OLY "An unparalleled influence in sport in Northern Ireland...and a role model and inspiration to so many people - including myself!" - HON. COL. DAME KELLY HOLMES MBE (MIL)

Mary describes the campsites and places she visits as well as the people she meets in the emigrant trains. She mentions the lack or abundance of water and grass for the oxen and mules. She discusses various encounters with Indians, some that resulted in trade and others that were more violent. She documents the painful experience of losing her husband to an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound in July 1864. She mentions her children occasionally. In addition to the diary, the collection contains a typed transcription of the diary and accompanying genealogical materials. Photographs that were acquired with the diary were transferred to the Pictorial Division of The Bancroft Library.

Many people assume that kings and queens have generally received a "good education", perhaps the best that money could buy at the time. This book investigates the reality: what is known about the education of British sovereigns from the beginning of the Tudor period to the end of the 20th century. There have been enormous differences in the seriousness with which education was regarded at different points in history. For example Henry VIII and his children were educated at a high point in the Renaissance, when educational ideas were regarded as important as well as exciting. Queen Elizabeth I was by any standards extremely well educated; by contrast Queen Elizabeth II's education has been described as "undemanding", because her parents wanted her to have a happy childhood. Peter Gordon and Denis Lawton have traced changes in royal education through the centuries and related them not only to educational ideas and theories, but also to changing political, social and religious contexts. The monarchy itself has changed as an institution: from the semi-absolute authority of the Tudors to a much more limited kind of monarchy by the end of the Stuart period (after one king had been executed and another exiled) to the constitutional monarchy of the 20th century. To what extent have such changes made any difference to royal education? What is the most appropriate kind of education for future kings and queens in our present day democracy? In this book, the authors confront these and other such questions and explore some of the answers.
