Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samuel Nagy fancied himself as an admirer of the ocean. He spent many hours fixated on the coastal waters of Maine while standing outside the tower of Cape Elizabeth’s famous lighthouse. During one calm, peaceful morning, he witnessed a little more than he’d expected. Stumbling across a group of outsiders to his hometown, Samuel learned of a criminal syndicate so ruthless, it would risk the lives of his entire family. The Irish Mafia found refuge within the community of Portland Maine. Their bloodthirsty members tormented local citizens creating and fortifying a criminal empire reaching all aspects of life in the city. Their livelihood centered on exporting valuable stolen goods overseas. Anyone caught hindering that process succumbed to the violent nature of mob life. Samuel found out the hard way mob bosses silenced all witnesses. He fell directly into the middle of crime spree so horrific, he discovered the antics of the Irish Mafia literally would involve the dead. Risking his own life, Samuel reached out to government officials in positions of authority for help. Unfortunately, mafia ties within the government halted any assistance. Samuel turned to his father for assistance and advice, but even his most trusted parent seemed to walk a thin line. Samuel was confused about his father’s position, concerned he might somehow be involved with the mafia. Turning to the streets for solace, a most inconspicuous homeless man befriended a young Samuel, giving him sound advice on how to handle his predicament. Samuel carried out his actions using that advice, determined to learn of his father’s involvement with the Irish Mob while protecting his family in the process. Unfortunately, the mob wasn’t going to have a recent graduate of high school interrupt their plans. Removing any and all witnesses was the only stance for the mobsters. Samuel had no choice but to expose the mafia’s actions, while bringing attention to their criminal syndicate. An all-out adventure that span not only Portland, but also the islands off the coast of Maine led to a standoff with some of the most notorious killers the State of Maine had ever seen. Filled with fast-paced boat chases along the coast, to underground investigations, Samuel worked his hardest to expose every detail of the Irish Mafia’s enterprise. The only cost: he would never see his father again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Not Grant nor Sherman, nor any of our country’s heroes, were ever made the subject of more ardent curiosity on the part of our citizens than the hero of a thousand-mile walk. The excitement at times reached almost to the point of frenzy and in their eagerness to gain a standing point right in front of the window at which the beaming countenance of the great man was seen, the crowd came in sharp collision with the police.” — Chicago Tribune — November, 1867 “He moved through a greater mass of people than was on the streets when William H. Taft, as President of the United States was here, or when Theodore Roosevelt came the day after. Crowds that blocked all traffic in the neighborhood greeted the veteran pedestrian. The side streets were choked and every roof had a fringe of humanity.” — New York’s The Sun — August, 1913 In a professional career spanning just over 60 years, one man would capture the imagination and the hearts of the people of the sporting world. Born in 1839, the enigmatic and eccentric American from Providence, Rhode Island, would become the “walking sensation” of both Britain and the USA, where he would “wow” the enormous crowds that filled the arenas and lined the roadsides with his performances on the tracks and highways. Handsome, immaculately dressed, well-spoken and intelligent, the “Wily Wobbler” would be watched by hoards of adoring fans throughout his career, which would see him compete against “time” and other athletes in the most amazing competitions. Everyone wanted to see him in action. Whenever he was pacing around a sawdust track, or scurrying along a dirt road, they clapped him, they cheered him, they loved him – and he loved them! Without them, he was a nobody, but with their support and his gutsy determination to succeed against all the odds, he became the...

Book excerpt: This captivating biography reveals the previously untold love story of Edward Weston and Margrethe Mather. Both were photographic artists at the center of the bohemian cultural scene in Los Angeles during the 1910s and 1920s, yet Weston would become a major Modernist photographer while Mather, who Weston ultimately expunged from his journals, would fall into obscurity. The book reveals how they and their entourage sought out the limelight as the Hollywood film industry came of age. Based on ten years of research and illustrated with extraordinary images, some never published, this history has a captivating range of characters, including Charlie Chaplin, Imogen Cunningham, Max Eastman, Emma Goldman, Tina Modotti, Vaslav Nijinsky, and Carl Sandburg. The lively text brings to life the ambiance of this exciting time in Los Angeles history as well as its darker side. Artful Lives exceeds any previously published account of this key period in Weston's development and reveals Mather's important contribution to it, making it an essential reference in Weston studies.
