Book excerpt: Frederick Wilhelm Feldman was born in the town of Bunde, Prussia (modern eastern Germany) in 1827. His desire for freedom and land to own in America tortured him long before he married Wilhelmine and their daughter, Marie Sophie, was born. Convinced Prussia would soon be at war; he left his family behind and began his journey to America in a ship filled with misery and sorrow. Lost and alone he found his way to Castle Island Immigrant Station on Manhattan, Island where riots and murder occurred daily. The Civil War was ending and America was unsettled. Fred heard of land to homestead in Iowa and a river called the Little Sioux, but life was not as he dreamed and he became discouraged and depressed. “Dutch Fred –Immigrant” depicts events of the time by weaving his personal history (facts) and fiction together as he travels to America and northwest Iowa. Today his tombstone is still nestled on a bluff overlooking the land he searched so hard to find.

Download or read book Storm Lake written by Art Cullen and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A reminder that even the smallest newspapers can hold the most powerful among us accountable."—The New York Times Book Review Watch the documentary Storm Lake on PBS. Iowa plays an outsize role in national politics. Iowa introduced Barack Obama and voted bigly for Donald Trump. But is it a bellwether for America, a harbinger of its future? Art Cullen’s answer is complicated and honest. In truth, Iowa is losing ground. The Trump trade wars are hammering farmers and manufacturers. Health insurance premiums and drug prices are soaring. That’s what Iowans are dealing with, and the problems they face are the problems of the heartland. In this candid and timely book, Art Cullen—the Storm Lake Times newspaperman who won a Pulitzer Prize for taking on big corporate agri-industry and its poisoning of local rivers—describes how the heartland has changed dramatically over his career. In a story where politics, agriculture, the environment, and immigration all converge, Cullen offers an unsentimental ode to rural America and to the resilient people of a vibrant community of fifteen thousand in Northwest Iowa, as much survivors as their town.

Book excerpt: Entrenched secrets, mysterious spirits, and an astonishing friendship weave together in this extraordinary and haunting debut that School Library Journal calls “a powerful story about loss and moving on.” Nothing matters. Only Bird matters. And he flew away. Jewel never knew her brother Bird, but all her life she has lived in his shadow. Her parents blame Grandpa for the tragedy of their family’s past: they say that Grandpa attracted a malevolent spirit—a duppy—into their home. Grandpa hasn’t spoken a word since. Now Jewel is twelve, and she lives in a house full of secrets and impenetrable silence. Jewel is sure that no one will ever love her like they loved Bird, until the night that she meets a mysterious boy in a tree. Grandpa is convinced that the boy is a duppy, but Jewel knows that he is something more. And that maybe—just maybe—the time has come to break through the stagnant silence of the past.
