Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The war is over, but the battle for his soul refuses to end. Life as a husband and father back on the family farm in Choctaw County is everything Lummy Tullos hoped for, bringing him some measure of peace after the horrors of war. Unfortunately, his respite looks to be short-lived. Tensions are on the rise throughout the South. On one side are those who wish to put the war behind them. On the other are those who want to keep the Confederacy—and everything it stands for—alive. It’s only a matter of time before the storm breaks, and when it does, Lummy finds himself directly in its path. Caught in this whirlwind of tragedy, Lummy grapples with the thin line between vengeance and justice. The emergence of Captain Tom Ford, an infamous ex-Confederate bent on killing Lummy and all those he loves, makes his struggle even more personal and immediate. In a defiant stand, Lummy rallies a motley crew of steadfast friends dedicated to ushering in the new world he has always dreamed possible—one where freedom is for all regardless of color. The once-clear lines between friend and foe blur amidst a series of deadly skirmishes, laying bare the unpredictable nature of family and friendship in a divided land. Amidst the chaos of battle, though, a haunting question emerges—will Lummy ever find lasting peace, or is he destined to walk the path of death and bloodshed forever?

Download or read book ENIGMA written by Talva and published by Author House. This book was released on 2020-04-20 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More often than not, when we find out that someone is an only child we quickly surmise that the person has been spoiled-rotten by his or her parent (s); thereby, having a reputation of being selfish and bratty. G. Stanley Hall was one of the first experts to give an only child a bad reputation when he referred to their situation as "a disease in itself." Being spoiled can be interpreted in varying ways. One might say that it simply means that they are well taken care of. Yet others may argue that its meaning is derived from a parent (s) over-showering their child with monetary riches; all the while, failing to instill other core values that will enrich their child's personality and character. Being a parent is undoubtedly one of the toughest tasks on earth. Nevertheless, a parent's flagrant-foul on the parenting field can be extremely damaging and detrimental to their child's emotional well-being. Good children can make bad parents, just as bad parents can make good children. For Crystal, things just got real!

Download or read book The Martini Henry Rifle written by Stephen Manning and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-05-20 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The breech-loading, single-shot .458in Martini-Henry rifle has become a symbol of both the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879 and the numerous battles in Egypt and the Sudan in 1884–85, but continued to be used by both British and colonial troops well into the 20th century. Its invention and introduction into British service were in direct response to the success of the Prussian Dreyse needle gun, which demonstrated that the breech-loading rifle offered faster loading, improved accuracy and superior range; significantly, the weapon could be loaded and fired from a prone position, thus offering the rifleman greater security on the battlefield. Due to the longevity of service, many Martini-Henry rifles survive today, both in museums and in private collections, and the weapon is highly prized by shooting enthusiasts. Featuring specially commissioned full-colour artwork and an array of arresting first-hand accounts and written by an authority on warfare in the Victorian era, this engaging study tells the story of the powerful Martini-Henry and its impact on the battlefield, from the Anglo-Zulu War to the opening months of World War I.
