Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When 13-year-old Ben Ward left school to work with his Pa in a logging camp, a winter of peeling potatoes and setting tables wasn’t the adventure he had in mind. Still, come spring, he signs up for the log drive with his friend Nevers, wishing the head cook on the wanigan (the floating cook shack) could be someone other than his crabby Pa. Fate, with a wink, complies, and Pa quits—only to be replaced by someone far worse: Pete Sardman, aka Old Sard, a cantankerous character complete with a greasy apron, an eye patch, one deaf ear, and plenty to say. Luckily, there’s also the rest of the crew—a colorful, sometimes outrageous company of men. Together Ben and Nevers endure freezing weather, dangerous rapids, logjams, storms and floods, and a number of gripping tall tales, along the way learning about logging on the river and a whole lot more about life. Taking up where Blackwater Ben left off, Dead Man’s Rapids returns to the north woods of Minnesota in the late nineteenth century, and with warmth, humor, and attention to historical detail engages readers both young and old.

Download or read book Dead Man s Hand written by Ronald Thomas and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life by itself is harsh and unrelenting, and it can weigh heavily on the soul and spirit of a person. Then you add the misinterpretations of Christ from the altars that follow the dictates of the Roman Empire, and life becomes even more complex. Yet religion plays an important role in the lives of people, and so it is important for us to use our faith to understand and embrace life. Dead Man’s Hand is an inspired commentary that can help get you back to the inheritance that Christ gave us—salvation and the lands of America—and it can guide you away from the altars that peddle falsehoods about Christ. Author Ronald Thomas explains how important it is to protect the family unit from the spiritual and physical dangers of the world, and he shows you how you will never know who Christ truly is unless you walk away from the altars of the men in colorful clothing, who want nothing more than your money. Christ is powerful, and his power hinges on one command: “Love me.” It is that simple, and there is only one Creator, one Lord, and one King. The message from the Father to each of us is to love him unconditionally just as he loves us.

Neil, Graham, and Crescent, the main characters from Death in Kingsport, become involved when Graham’s Aunt Henrietta, who is bequeathed one-third ownership of the castle, mysteriously disappears. Has she gone on a trip, as some insist, or is there more to the story? Graham, with a sense of foreboding and the help of his friends, is determined to find out before it’s too late.
