Download or read book My Granny Van written by George Sessions Perry and published by . This book was released on 1949 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In fond homage, this is a portrait of one of the more forceful figures in the family album, Mrs. Male Van de Venter-his Granny Van, with whom George Sessions Perry was in particularly close if not always harmonious relationship. With her irreproachable rightness, her will to power and overpower, her retreats- only when necessary- into martyrdom, Granny Van dominated successfully -- first his parents, and then at their death when he was a boy, young George. This recapitulates her stormy passages at arms with Kate, the maid, with Uncle Harry, their only other relative, with her neighbor and with all tradesmen. It also follows her sharp interest in medication-particularly laxatives, and later- at eighty- in alcohol as from an unacknowledged nip she worked her way up to a gallon a fortnight. And all in all, this catches much of the spirit of an indomitable she-devil who was hard to live with, easy to love.

Download or read book Where Away The Story of the U S S Marblehead written by George Sessions Perry and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2019-12-06 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where Away, first published in 1944, recounts the exploits of the Omaha class light-cruiser U.S.S. Marblehead in her service in the Pacific during World War Two. The Marblehead was in Borneo at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack, and joined other ships of the Royal Netherlands and Royal Australian Navies in patrol duty and as escorts to merchant ships. On January 24, 1942, the Marblehead was attacked by Japanese bombers and hit by three bombs. Marblehead was severely damaged, on fire and had 15 dead and 84 seriously injured crewmen. However, the crew managed to extinguish the fires and get the damaged ship underway. She then began a journey of over 9000 miles westward to South Africa, the first port where repairs could be made. In April, the Marblehead set sail for the United States, arriving in New York on May 4, 1942. Following further repairs at the drydock of the Brooklyn Naval Yard, Marbleheadreturned to duty on October 15, 1942, and joined the South Atlantic Fleet where she served until February 1944. A short stint in the convoy lanes of the North Atlantic followed. Marblehead next sailed to the Mediterranean, reaching Palermo on July 29, 1944. She took part in Operation Dragoon, the invasion of southern France, and was used in bombardment of enemy shore positions, her final combat mission. Included are maps and numerous pen and ink drawings by John Floherty, Jr.
