Book excerpt: There are plenty of mysteries beneath the surface of the novel The Mystery of the Louisville Star: Can the Louisville Star Retain Secrets From Her Watery Grave? There are only two known survivors when the Louisville Star riverboat sinks in a rain storm south of Port Gibson, Mississippi in 1915. One is a riverboat gambler, and the other a six-month-old white baby boy that he rescued. The two wash ashore at a cotton plantation north of Natchez. The orphans' home there rejects the baby on technical grounds. An old black man who lives on the plantation is given the task of caregiver, raising the boy to adulthood. The year is now 1935 and the story shifts to the New Orleans nightclub scene, with its riverboat cruises, jazz music and Creole cuisine. But the city's mood is darkened after eight murders take place. Is it possible The Mystery of the Louisville Star can have a fairytale ending?

Download or read book The Wee Ice Mon Cometh written by Ed Gruver and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2024-10 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is considered by many the greatest season in golf history. In 1953 Ben Hogan provided a fitting exclamation point to his miraculous comeback from a near-fatal auto accident by becoming the first player to win golf’s Triple Crown—the Masters, the U.S. Open, and the British Open—within a span of four months. It was closer than anyone had gotten to the modern-day Grand Slam of winning all four of golf’s major tournaments. The Wee Ice Mon Cometh is the first book to detail Hogan’s historic accomplishment. His 1953 season remains the world’s greatest, and golfers seek to match his achievement every year. Bobby Jones in 1930 and Tiger Woods in 2000–2001 achieved comparable “slams,” but the Hogan Slam stands alone due to the car crash four years before that left Hogan on shattered legs. He nonetheless won with record-setting performances on three of the most challenging courses in the world: Augusta National at the Masters, the U.S. Open at Oakmont, and the British Open at Carnoustie, Scotland. Ed Gruver weaves together interviews with members of Hogan’s family, golf historians, playing partners, and business partners along with extensive research and eyewitness accounts of each tournament. Seventy years after his historic feat, the Hogan Slam still serves as a symbol for the many comebacks Hogan had to make throughout his life—his father’s death by suicide when Ben was a boy, desperate days during the Great Depression, frustrating failures in tournaments early in his career, and the horrific accident that nearly killed him just as he was finally reaching the pinnacle of his profession.

Download or read book Napoleon a History of the Art of War written by Lt.-Col. Theodore Ayrault Dodge and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 686 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes over 200 maps, plans, diagrams and uniform prints Lt.-Col. Theodore Ayrault Dodge was a soldier of long and bloody experience, having served with the Union Army of the Potomac during the American Civil War losing one of his legs during the battle of Gettysburg. After the end of the war he settled down in retirement to write, he produced a number of excellent works on the recently ended Civil War and his magnum opus “A History of the Art of War”, tracing the advances, changes and major engagements of Western Europe. His work was split into twelve volumes, richly illustrated with cuts of uniforms, portraits and maps, each focussing on periods of history headed by the most prominent military figure; Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar, Gustavus Adolphus, Frederick the Great and finally Napoleon. Napoleon and the period which he dominated received such care and attention that Dodge wrote four excellent, authoritative and detailed volumes on him. This second volume explores the beginning of Napoleon’s ascension to the title of Emperor of the French and his defeat of all of the powers of Europe to his apogee of power in 1807. Napoleon’s thunderous campaign in Italy in 1800, his lightning campaign that culminated at Austerlitz in 1805 see the Emperor in his full pomp scattering his Austrian and Russian foes. Concluding this volume are his campaigns against the Prussians and Russians in 1806 and 1807, despite defeating his enemies roundly in battle his own finely trained Grande Armée was starting to be bled to death. A well written, expansive and excellent classic.

Download or read book One Day in August written by David O'Keefe and published by Icon Books. This book was released on 2020-11-05 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A lively and readable account' Spectator 'A fine book ... well-written and well-researched' Washington Times In less than six hours in August 1942, nearly 1,000 British, Canadian and American commandos died in the French port of Dieppe in an operation that for decades seemed to have no real purpose. Was it a dry-run for D-Day, or perhaps a gesture by the Allies to placate Stalin's impatience for a second front in the west? Historian David O'Keefe uses hitherto classified intelligence archives to prove that this catastrophic and apparently futile raid was in fact a mission, set up by Ian Fleming of British Naval Intelligence as part of a 'pinch' policy designed to capture material relating to the four-rotor Enigma Machine that would permit codebreakers like Alan Turing at Bletchley Park to turn the tide of the Second World War. 'A fast-paced and convincing book ... that clears up decades of misinformation about the ignoble raid' Toronto Star
