Download or read book Mountain Masculinity written by Tex Wood and published by Athabasca University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1906, Nello Vernon-Wood (1882-1978) reinvented himself as Tex Wood, Banff hunting guide and writer of "yarns of the wilderness by a competent outdoorsman." His homespun stories of a vanishing world, in such periodicals as The Sportsman, Hunting and Fishing, and the Canadian Alpine Journal, have much to tell us about the west as envisioned by those who wanted to leave the early 20th century behind - or at least read about others who had done so. In the writings of his persona "Tex," Vernon-Wood created an image of the frontier that blended the West of his guiding experiences with the West as a literary object. Editors Gow and Rak guide the reader with a framing introduction to the work, as well as to each article.

Download or read book Homespun Vol 6 November 1930 Classic Reprint written by Greensboro High School and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-31 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Homespun, Vol. 6: November 1930 T is often said that the population of North Carolina is almost I entirely of pure English stock. This statement, however, is incorrect. Four principal racial elements have been fused together to produce the modern North Carolinian. First, of course, is the anglo-saxon; second, the Celtic scotch-highlander; third, the scotch-irish; and fourth, the German. The commercial Englishmen were the first to settle in this State. Due to the fact that they outnumbered the other races, their influence has been more strongly felt than that of any other people. The English came down from Virginia with the peaceful purpose of buying land from the Indians. They settled in Albemarle, and from there their settlements spread out over the flat lowlands of eastern Carolina even to the Piedmont. Their history here is like themselves, somewhat unromantic, but displaying an almost in credible amount of common sense. These people with their law abiding, home-loving natures have given North Carolina some of its most enduring possessions: the English church, the English law, and the English language. The second great element, the scotch-highlanders, came seek ing peace from the greatly disturbed conditions in Scotland. They settled in the Cape Fear region and had their chief village in what is now Fayetteville. For many years they lived their Simple, religious lives in peace and content. Because of the Highlanders' honorable characters and deliberate convictions, both armies in the American Revolution were anxious to secure them as allies. The Scotch wished to remain neutral, but that proved impossible. Most of them remained faithful to the mother country. When peace was finally restored, this people quietly united in the great work of putting a new-born nation on its feet.

This book was released on 2019-01-30 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Homespun, Vol. 2: A Literary Magazine; April 1927 Before 1700 short articles had been written for children's read ing. Yet all these stories were didactic; they taught obedience to parents or correct behavior at church. Little Goody two-shoes by Oliver Goldsmith is an example of this kind of writing. Later, Rousseau was among the first to awaken an interest in children's literature by teaching less formal methods of schooling. Charles Lamb came next; it seems that he was the first to get the idea that literature for children should be just as artistic and just as worthy of literary recognition as literature for adults. For children or men was a favorite phrase of his; it may be well applied to his and his sister's prose version of Shakespeare's plays.

Download or read book The Fixers written by E.J. Fleming and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-01-28 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eddie Mannix and Howard Strickling are virtually unknown outside of Hollywood and little-remembered even there, but as General Manager and Head of Publicity for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, they lorded over all the stars in Hollywood's golden age from the 1920s through the 1940s--including legends like Garbo, Dietrich, Gable and Garland. When MGM stars found themselves in trouble, it was Eddie and Howard who took care of them--solved their problems, hid their crimes, and kept their secrets. They were "the Fixers." At a time when image meant everything and the stars were worth millions to the studios that owned them, Mannix and Strickling were the most important men at MGM. Through a complex web of contacts in every arena, from reporters and doctors to corrupt police and district attorneys, they covered up some of the most notorious crimes and scandals in Hollywood history, keeping stars out of jail and, more importantly, their names out of the papers. They handled problems as diverse as the murder of Paul Bern (husband of MGM's biggest star, Jean Harlow), the studio-directed drug addictions of Judy Garland, the murder of Ted Healy (creator of The Three Stooges) at the hands of Wallace Beery, and arranging for an unmarried Loretta Young to adopt her own child--a child fathered by a married Clark Gable. Through exhaustive research and interviews with contemporaries, this is the never-before-told story of Eddie Mannix and Howard Strickling. The dual biography describes how a mob-related New Jersey laborer and the quiet son of a grocer became the most powerful men at the biggest studio in the world.

Download or read book Walt and Skeezix Book Four written by Frank King and published by Drawn and Quarterly. This book was released on 2010-04-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE LONG-AWAITED NEW VOLUME FROM THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED ARCHIVAL COLLECTION OF FRANK KING'S CLASSIC STRIP In this fourth volume of Walt and Skeezix, the newly married Walt Wallet settles into domestic life with his wife, Phyllis, and their adopted son, Skeezix, but their family bliss is soon disrupted by a man who claims to be Skeezix's natural father. A long custody battle erupts, raising questions as to the importance of blood ties compared with a loving environment. Later, Walt and Phyllis have to deal with all the dilemmas of a young couple's life as their family starts to unexpectedly expand. This is the very stuff of life—paying the bills, nursing a sick child, finding the right job while spending quality time with family—expertly explored with cartoonist Frank King's unerring fidelity to reality. In unfolding the drama of the Wallet family's life, King displays his full mastery of long and complex narratives, which made his work a forerunner to the modern graphic novel. In his introduction to the series, Jeet Heer explores King's storytelling prowess and links the concerns of the strip with changes in American culture in the 1920s. Lavishly illustrated with King's family photos, the book is designed by Chris Ware, whose elegant and detail-rich books have revolutionized the graphic novel field.
