Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-six-year-old Caroline DeBeck is a willful socialite residing in New York City in 1900. Caroline’s mother, Allegra Arbuthnot, despairs of her daughter ever making an advantageous alliance; she’s turned down every wealthy gentleman in the Upper East Side and beyond. Allegra decides to send her daughter off to rural Vermont to spend the summer with Caroline’s eccentric aunts, Bethany and Grace DeBeck. Caroline expects the summer to be unendurable. Despite her mother’s matchmaking attempts, she has never met a man in her social circle she finds even mildly pleasing. She decided long ago never to marry unless she fell in love—an unlikely probability in her hectic social scene in New York City and no doubt impossible in rural Vermont. But when her aunts send a farmer to the train station to collect her in his cart, she is outraged—and intrigued. Jacob MacKenzie is tall and muscular, and Caroline is instantly drawn to him, despite their obvious differences. Sparks fly as they both enjoy a verbal sparring match, but neither one takes the other seriously at first. Still, Caroline DeBeck is used to getting what she wants, and it soon becomes plain that may well be Jacob MacKenzie.

Download or read book Gunmen and Gangsters written by Michael Schlossheimer and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-08-03 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gangsters such as Al Capone and Lucky Luciano were considered by many people to be the most exciting personalities of the 1920s and 1930s. The public was hungry for press coverage about these mysterious and dangerous men. Most reports about them were sketchy, as the reporters did not want to get on the bad side of the racket bosses. Hollywood’s response to the public’s fascination was to portray the lives of gangsters on the movie screen, using actors such as Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, and Edward G. Robinson. Perhaps surprisingly, these men received not-so-favorable reviews from the Academy Award voters, and as their popularity grew with the public, censorship dictated other actors be brought in to play the roles. That’s what this book is about—the personal and professional lives of William Bendix, Charles Bickford, Ward Bond, Broderick Crawford, Brian Donlevy, Paul Douglas, William Gargan, Barton MacLane, and Lloyd Nolan, second-string actors who replaced the big names and did a memorable job. A filmography is supplied for each actor.
