Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the halls of Syracuse University to the quiet neighborhoods of Fayetteville and Marcellus, the communities of Onondaga County have a haunted history. Some sites are hotbeds of paranormal activity, like Syracuse's Woodlawn Cemetery, the Jamesville Penitentiary and Split Rock Quarry, where a blast killed several workers. Visitors at the Clay Hotel debate whose ghost walks the halls of the former German beer house and restaurant. Patrons of the Ancestor's Inn in Liverpool have also encountered unregistered and unwelcome guests. After Albert Fyler murdered his wife in a jealous rage, their spirits refused to leave the home they shared. Even the iconic Syracuse City Hall cannot rid itself of the otherworldly. Local author Neil K. MacMillan delves into this eerie past to uncover Onondaga County's most haunted locations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the homogenization of American life, areas of strong regional consciousness still persist in the United States, and there is a growing interest in regionalism among the public and among academics. In response to that interest ten folklorists here describe and interpret a variety of American regional cultures in the twentieth century. Their book is the first to deal specifically with regional culture and the first to employ the perspective of folklore in the study of regional identity and consciousness. The authors range widely over the United States, from the Eastern Shore to the Pacific Northwest, from the Southern Mountains to the Great Plains. They look at a variety of cultural expressions and practices—legends, anecdotes, songs, foodways, architecture, and crafts. Tying their work together is a common consideration of how regional culture shapes and is shaped by the consciousness of living in a special place. In exploring this dimension of regional culture the authors consider the influence of natural environment and historical experience on the development of regional culture, the role of ethnicity in regional consciousness, the tensions between insiders and outsiders that stem from a sense of regional identity, and the changes in culture in response to social and economic change. With its focus on cultural manifestations and its folkloristic perspective this book provides a fresh and needed contribution to regional studies. Written in a clear, readable style, it will appeal to general readers interested in American regions and their cultures. At the same time the research and analytical approach make it useful not only to folklorists but to cultural geographers, anthropologists, and other scholars of regional studies.
Download or read book Kaleidoscope written by John S. Bohne and published by Author House. This book was released on 2011-01-31 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the world’s most unusual book. (No one has ever written anything like it before.) Why is it so unusual? Because it deals with the phantasmo goria of the flux (the Kaleidoscope) (the ghostly procession of change) on the earth plane. Yet only a born writer and a Christian Yogi can present it in a clear knowledge despite it being full of complexities. (only 3 such yogis in this world) To capture it in concepts it takes three viewpoints: amazing story poems, strange short stories, and rare Satori Sayings. This is the structure of the book. IT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO OVERCOME THE PHYSICAL: The earth plane has three plateaus of existence. The book has to transcend them. Body, mind, and spirit. The poems deal with the physical where most people spend their lives. The stories move up to the mental plateau. Where many manage to function for a time. Finally there is the spiritual plateau...where few ever go. (the churches function on the mental level only) Yoga means union with God. Even most of the yogis fail to get up on the third level of spirit. The Satori Sayings can change lives. They are spiritual wisdom revelations. The author has always wanted to be an angel. In the most part, he has lived accordingly. He receives inspirations down from the Blue. Satori is spiritual enlightenment. He is a God lover...and a God follower in life. A Yogi. This book is his fourth, and perhaps final one. a special style was needed for this book -- to make the complex simple. Being a newspaperman and editor, was partial to the laconic style of Hemingway..... to gain high suspense, clarity, and powerful delightful reading.)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Over 400 years ago, in 1528, an African named Estevanico first set foot in Florida near present-day Tampa as part of a Spanish exploration party. Since then, African Americans in Florida have continued to set examples of courage, perseverance, and leadership. In this book you will read about some people you may already know about--such as Ray Charles and Carrie Pittman Meek--and many others whose lives are also inspirational, even if their names are not so familiar. Though many African Americans started life in poverty and had to fight racial injustice, their stories prove that the desire to succeed can overcome many obstacles. They followed their dreams to become teachers, artists, soldiers, lawyers, nurses, sports stars, authors, and many other occupations. Their important contributions to the state and to the country enrich us all. This book also includes detailed descriptions of the 141 historical and cultural sites on the Florida Black Heritage Trail and a calendar of significant dates in the history of African Americans in Florida"--Publisher description.
