Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the growth of Fulton, Missouri from a lonely homestead in the wilderness to a thriving small city is captured in rare old photographs from the archives of the Kingdom of Callaway Historical Society and transcribed articles from local newspapers and other contemporary sources. Articles and stories arranged chronologically carry the reader through the lawlessness of a frontier town where every store had a whiskey barrel for customers and the town doctor could walk into a hardware store and shoot the school teacher without any apparent regrets or repercussions. The book covers the upheaval and discord of the Civil War era, including the well-known story of Celia, a Slave, the fast paced changes of the industrial revolution and the Great War that took so many Callaway boys far away from the mule trading capital of the world and introduced them to tanks and flying machines.

The growth and problems of Fulton's State Hospital No. 1, Missouri's largest institution for the mentally ill is followed through the forty year period. Early coal mines, the firebrick industry and the shoe manufacturing factories are chronicled with pictures of employees and stories about strikes, protests, and layoffs.

Download or read book Mokane to Mole City written by Stanley Adams and published by . This book was released on 2019-01-02 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drafted in late May 1968, Adams, barely 20 years old, was quickly transformed into an infantry rifleman on the front lines of the Vietnam War, where he survived a year of combat with the famed "Manchu" Regiment, 25th Infantry "Tropic Lightning" Division. Sent in as replacements for those Bravo Co. soldiers who were killed in the Thanksgiving Day Battle of 1968, Adams and his fellow soldiers were charged with building "Mole City," a combat patrol base camp near the Cambodian Border, to purposely bait the NVA and disrupt their supply lines through the region. He had been "in country" for less than a month when the NVA attacked Mole City during a Christmas truce, just before midnight on December 22, 1968. The Manchus fought valiantly through the night as their ammo supplies dwindled, and as a last resort, artillery was called in on Mole City. In 2003, Adams began reaching out to the families of fallen comrades and reconnecting with his fellow Manchus - many of whom suffer some form of PTSD as a result of the horrors they experienced in Vietnam. As these surviving warriors age, they are now burying their Manchu Brothers. Fifty years later, through a photographic history featuring 250+ color pictures, Adams recounts his journey from a rural Midwestern town to the jungles of Vietnam, sharing what it's like to fight - and not die - for your country.
