Book excerpt: In this mystery thriller, a determined writer sets out to prove that the Resolute desk in the Oval Office in Washington D.C. is a fake. Annabelle knows where the genuine desk is and, not only that, she believes lost souls haunt the desk. The Resolute desk was made from the timbers of a nineteenth century British ship that sailed into the Arctic on a quest to find the Northwest Passage and the lost explorer, Sir John Franklin. Hopelessly trapped in the ice, her crew abandoned the ship. The HMS Resolute eventually broke free, sailing 1,200 miles in the treacherous icy waters. Did the ship navigate by chance or did a ghost crew guide her? Annabelle is a docent at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum. The museum highlights the life and times of President Reagan including a replica room of the Oval Office containing a replica Resolute desk. When unexplained and even dangerous events happen in the museum, Annabelle searches for clues within the desk's secret drawers and within its very timbers. The curator Rusty, overworked and nervous, brings together rare artifacts for an exhibit on the HMS Resolute and lost Arctic explorers. A prize relic of the Inuit is a mystical Wind-Maker Spirit mask whose powerful magic awakens spirits forgotten and forlorn. Annabelle's feisty daughter, Whitney, a security guard at the museum, struggles with post-traumatic stress after her military service. She doesn't believe in ghosts until she becomes the target of a malevolent entity. Whitney's erratic mood swings threaten her sanity and her rocky romance with another guard, the handsome Alex, adds to the drama. As Annabelle strives to solve the mystery of the Resolute desk, spirits evil and primitive rise endangering those she loves. Hidden within a frozen lost world is the answer if only the seekers can survive to find it.

“Ghosts of Presidents Past – A Reckoning” serves as a metaphor for the chaos in American politics from 2015 -2020. The work combines historical fiction with political parody and humor.
Normally we don’t see ghosts and phantoms except on Halloween when trick-or-treaters knock on front doors. If Halloween in government existed, how might twenty-three former US presidents, beginning with George Washington, respond to the siren call to visit a president who ignores the Constitution and suppresses and manipulates information for political gain?What if that president disrespected his obligations to the Nation’s revered institutions and the American public? What if he lacked moral fiber and used the office for personal gain? What if he had attained the highest office in the land through unscrupulous means? What if his ego drove him to manipulate the truth to enhance his image? What if he bullied his opponents and called them sophomoric names? What if he alienated friends and stalwart allies?

“Ghosts of Presidents Past – A Reckoning” encapsulates many of the more shocking public utterances and events over the last several years where each new one often eclipses its predecessor.

Download or read book Theodore Roosevelt s Ghost written by Michael Patrick Cullinane and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A century after his death, Theodore Roosevelt remains one of the most recognizable figures in U.S. history, with depictions of the president ranging from the brave commander of the Rough Riders to a trailblazing progressive politician and early environmentalist to little more than a caricature of grinning teeth hiding behind a mustache and pince-nez. Theodore Roosevelt’s Ghost follows the continuing shifts and changes in this president’s reputation since his unexpected passing in 1919. In the most comprehensive examination of Roosevelt’s legacy, Michael Patrick Cullinane explores the frequent refashioning of this American icon in popular memory. The immediate aftermath of Roosevelt’s death created a groundswell of mourning and goodwill that ensured his place among the great Americans of his generation, a stature bolstered by the charitable and political work of his surviving family. When Franklin Roosevelt ascended to the presidency, he worked to situate himself as the natural heir of Theodore Roosevelt, reshaping his distant cousin’s legacy to reflect New Deal values of progressivism, intervention, and patriotism. Others retroactively adapted Roosevelt’s actions and political record to fit the discourse of social movements from anticommunism to civil rights, with varying degrees of success. Richard Nixon’s frequent invocation led to a decline in Roosevelt’s popularity and a corresponding revival effort by scholars endeavoring to give an accurate, nuanced picture of the 26th president. This wide-ranging study reveals how successive generations shaped the public memory of Roosevelt through their depictions of him in memorials, political invocations, art, architecture, historical scholarship, literature, and popular culture. Cullinane emphasizes the historical contexts of public memory, exploring the means by which different communities worked to construct specific representations of Roosevelt, often adapting his legacy to suit the changing needs of the present. Theodore Roosevelt’s Ghost provides a compelling perspective on the last century of U.S. history as seen through the myriad interpretations of one of its most famous and indefatigable icons.

II THE LONESOMEST JOB ON EARTH What is going to happen to the next President the day after he is inaugurated, a few minutes after it, when he goes to the place assigned to him, or at least that night? The Ghost in the White House. The White House is haunted by a vague, helpless abstraction, a kind of ghost of a nation, called the people. The only way the Nation, in the White House, gets in, is as a spirit. The man who lives there, if he wants to be chummy (as any man we want there would), has to commune with a Generalization. What we really do with a President is to pick him deliberately up out of his warm human living with the rest of us, with people who, whatever else is the matter with them, are at least somebody in particular, lift him over in the White House, shut him up there for four years to live in wedlock with An Average, to be the consort day and night of Her Who Never Was, and Who Never Is-a kind of vague, cold, intellectual, unsubstantial, lonely, Terrible Angel called the People. Just a kind of light in Her eyes at times. That is all there is to Her. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
