This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tall young woman with sparkling green eyes and long curly copper-red hair stooped gracefully and placed her autumn- colored bridal bouquet on the grave at the base of the tombstone. Five little graves beside hers were testimony to the sorrow and pain of loss as written in the century-old journal held by the young bride. The autumn sun danced through the leaves of red, orange, yellow and gold and on the bent face of the young woman as she whispered,"Thank you grandmother...I wish you could see me and hear me. God does answer prayer.." This fictional account is about trusting God in all situations and allowing Him to direct your ways. Points for reflection or group discussion are at the end of the book.

Download or read book The Colfax Massacre written by LeeAnna Keith and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-01-28 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Easter Sunday, 1873, in the tiny hamlet of Colfax, Louisiana, more than 150 members of an all-black Republican militia, defending the town's courthouse, were slain by an armed force of rampaging white supremacists. The most deadly incident of racial violence of the Reconstruction era, the Colfax Massacre unleashed a reign of terror that all but extinguished the campaign for racial equality. LeeAnna Keith's The Colfax Massacre is the first full-length book to tell the history of this decisive event. Drawing on a huge body of documents, including eyewitness accounts of the massacre, as well as newly discovered evidence from the site itself, Keith explores the racial tensions that led to the fateful encounter, during which surrendering blacks were mercilessly slaughtered, and the reverberations this message of terror sent throughout the South. Keith also recounts the heroic attempts by U.S. Attorney J.R. Beckwith to bring the killers to justice and the many legal issues raised by the massacre. In 1875, disregarding the poignant testimony of 300 witnesses, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously in U.S. v. Cruikshank to overturn a lower court conviction of eight conspirators. This decision virtually nullified the Ku Klux Klan Enforcement Acts of 1870 and 1871--which had made federal offenses of a variety of acts to intimidate voters and officeholders--and cleared the way for the Jim Crow era. If there was a single historical moment that effectively killed Reconstruction and erased the gains blacks had made since the civil war, it was the day of the Colfax Massacre. LeeAnna Keith gives readers both a gripping narrative account of that portentous day and a nuanced historical analysis of its far-reaching repercussions.

Download or read book Rocky Ground An Ozark Family Holds On Through Hard Times written by Margaret DuBois and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-01-20 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The economy didn't go through the Great Depression - people did. Margaret DuBois grew up in a period of historic deprivation. Her family had to retreat to her grandparents' Ozark farm to survive. The farm patriarch, her grandfather, was an orator - a minister who had once served as a State Legislator. Their home-life differed from most similarly-situated Ozark families in its focus on spiritual duties and the love of learning. Books lined their shelves. Political bombast and pious sermon occupied their dinners. They didn't get up pre-dawn as most farm families did. Hard times drew out the best and worst of human character. As she watched her family cope with all manner of human failing, and unremitting rotten luck, Margaret saw that people are complex and rife with contradictions. In her family's composure through bitter disappointments she saw a strength of character worthy of remembrance. And on that rocky ground where the DuBois family held fast, she hatched her dreams.

Download or read book Back Yonder written by Charles Wayman Hogue and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2016-01-05 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally released in 1932, Wayman Hogue's Back Yonder is a rare and entertaining memoir of life in rural Arkansas during the decades follow- ing the Civil War. Using family legends, personal memories, and events from Arkansas history, Hogue, like his contemporary Laura Ingalls Wilder, creatively weaves a narrative of a family making its way in rug- ged, impoverished, and sometimes violent places. From one-room schoolhouses to moonshiners, the details in Hogue's story capture the essence of a particular time and place, even as the characters reflect a universal quality that endears them to the mod- ern reader. This reissue of Back Yonder, the first in the Chronicles of the Ozarks series, features an introduction by historian Brooks Blevins that explores the life of Charles Wayman Hogue, analyzes the people and events that inspired the book, and places the volume in the context of America's discovery of the Ozarks in the years between the World Wars.
