Download or read book Texas Devils written by Michael L. Collins and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-11-09 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Texas Rangers have been the source of tall tales and the stuff of legend as well as a growing darker reputation. But the story of the Rangers along the Mexican border between Texas statehood and the onset of the Civil War has been largely overlooked—until now. This engaging history pulls readers back to a chaotic time along the lower Rio Grande in the mid-nineteenth century. Texas Devils challenges the time-honored image of “good guys in white hats” to reveal the more complicated and sobering reality behind the Ranger Myth. Michael L. Collins demonstrates that, rather than bringing peace to the region, the Texas Rangers contributed to the violence and were often brutal in their injustices against Spanish-speaking inhabitants, who dubbed them los diablos Tejanos—the Texas devils. Collins goes beyond other, more laudatory Ranger histories to focus on the origins of the legend, casting Ranger immortals such as John Coffee “Jack” Hays, Ben McCulloch, and John S. “Rip” Ford in a new and not always flattering light. In revealing a barbaric code of conduct on the Rio Grande frontier, Collins shows that much of the Ranger Myth doesn’t hold up to close historical scrutiny. Texas Devils offers exciting true stories of the Rangers for anyone captivated by their legend, even as it provides a corrective to that legend.
Download or read book Jesters and Devils written by Maria-Luisa Minio-Paluello and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2009-03-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medici in Florence, after the restoration of 1512. Carafulla, historical Jester, leading the (Venetian) Ship of Fools in the pageant through the streets of Florence in the Midsummer festival of St John the Baptist,1514. The antics of the jesters have meaning. This is gradually unfolded during the journey of the ship in the book. It is done by focusing on the visual and narrative riddles of the jesters and other characters analysed with the help of a background on the festive tradition (Carnival) in Europe, and of published and unpublished (personal letters of the Medici) material. Gradually the pranks and jests reveal earnest and controversial contents which reflect on political relationships between Rome (the Medici pope, Leo X), Florence (the member of the Medici family ruling there) and the Republic of Venice (provider of fleets and reformist thought). Rumours, humours and emulations between Florence Rome and Venice.

Book excerpt: When the night settles, And the wolf howls at its moon, The murk shall devour the sky, The Lands shall cry, A forever midnight will besiege the ticking of time, For the Devils only come out at midnight. Angels will fall, And the Devils will rise. For every end shall have a new beginning. - Aeon, Ruler of the Great Beyond “Everyone believes that there are two kinds of devils – ones that come from above and the ones that come from below. The ones that come from below seek vengeance upon the mortal world. The ones that come from above seek redemption amongst the living. But I personally believe in the third kind of devils, who seek both – redemption and vengeance. These devils are us – the living creatures.”: SPAR 84 “You were brave to enact and try to bring things in order, but you messed up. Someone needed to clean up that mess of yours: Destiny chose me”: Yanat “Evil cannot be suppressed, it can only be delayed”: VEH 8462
Download or read book Devils Demons written by Amanda Forbes and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-07-12 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What compelled me to write about devils and demons is the fact that a door was opened to another world, where my living existence was placed. The book is original; it is mind blowing and chilling. I share true accounts of ghosts at play, and I sit in the center of the room sometimes in sci-fi definition. I talk about ghosts from centuries located in modern buildings that perhaps were memorial burial grounds before. I talk deeply about the spirit of King Richard III and the ghosts of the scariest hospital in Britain, the Towers Hospital. In this book, I discuss how to combat evil forces and give answers that nobody has done so far or answer questions that people have been too afraid to ask. It is a scary and exciting book, but most of all, its informative. So please read and enjoy.

Book excerpt: From the author of Hanging Devils, one of The Guardian's top ten Asian crime novels, comes the long-awaited follow-up. When Xia Zhe, an ambitious trader at a state-owned securities company, is indicted for corporate fraud, lawyer Hong Jun takes on the case at the request of the young man's father. But as the trial date looms, it becomes clear that this case of avarice and ill-gotten gains is far from black and white.

What he doesn't count on is that, in dredging up these long-dormant histories, he must face the shadows of his own past to get to the truth.
Download or read book Modern Folk Devils written by Martin Demant Frederiksen and published by Helsinki University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-13 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The devilish has long been integral to myths, legends, and folklore, firmly located in the relationships between good and evil, and selves and others. But how are ideas of evil constructed in current times and framed by contemporary social discourses? Modern Folk Devils builds on and works with Stanley Cohen’s theory on folk devils and moral panics to discuss the constructions of evil. The authors present an array of case-studies that illustrate how the notion of folk devils nowadays comes into play and animates ideas of otherness and evil throughout the world. Examining current fears and perceived threats, this volume investigates and analyzes how and why these devils are constructed. The chapters discuss how the devilish may take on many different forms: sometimes they exist only as a potential threat, other times they are a single individual or phenomenon or a visible group, such as refugees, technocrats, Roma, hipsters, LGBT groups, and rightwing politicians. Folk devils themselves are also given a voice to offer an essential complementary perspective on how panics become exaggerated, facts distorted, and problems acutely angled. Bringing together researchers from anthropology, sociology, political studies, ethnology, and criminology, the contributions examine cases from across the world spanning from Europe to Asia and Oceania.

Download or read book The Hanging Tree written by V. A. C. Gatrell and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1994 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of mentalities, emotions, and attitudes rather than of policies and ideas, it analyses responses to the scaffold at all social levels: among the crowds which gathered to watch executions; among 'polite' commentators from Boswell and Byron on to Fry, Thackeray, and Dickens; and among the judges, home secretary, and monarch who decided who should hang and who should be reprieved. Drawing on letters, diaries, ballads, broadsides, and images, as well as on poignant appeals for mercy which historians until now have barely explored, the book surveys changing attitudes to death and suffering, 'sensibility' and 'sympathy', and demonstrates that the long retreat from public hanging owed less to the growth of a humane sensibility than to the development of new methods of punishment and law enforcement, and to polite classes' deepening squeamishness and fear of the scaffold crowd.
