Download or read book The Hanukkah Gun written by Kevin Gonzalez and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-08 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hanukkah Gun and Other Secondhand Sol Old West Tales is a collection of short stories about a nontraditional, Jewish hero in the late 19th-century Arizona Territory. A seller of secondhand goods, Solomon Pliskin is closer to 5-feet-4 than the classic height of heroes, 6-feet-4. Slight and self-deprecating, balding and bearded, he wears a wool suit, not buckskins and chaps. He dons a bowler, not a Stetson. Faith and family, not firepower, are his best defense against the dangers of the frontier. With a gun molded from Hanukkah gelt, he foils a bullying bigot; trying to do a mitzvah on Rosh Hashanah, he rescues an innocent Indian from a lynch mob. And with a crock of chicken soup as his only weapon, he prevents a drunk from ventilating a Sephardic Jew from San Francisco, even thought he is lording it over Pliskin. As one fellow Jew notes of Secondhand Sol: "For such a small man, he sure sits tall in the saddle." People of all beliefs can discover and enjoy universal themes in his adventures. As Pliskin says, all good men and their families, regardless of their faith, deserve light in their lives.
Download or read book Samuel Rothchild written by Jack T. Sanders and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2011 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samuel Rothchild, born in 1843, spent his early years in a small village in southwestern Germany, then grew to manhood on a farm in central Kentucky, and finally moved to the Pacific Northwest in a search for adventure and fortune. In Pendleton, Oregon, Rothchild became a store owner, a grain buyer, a dealer in real estate, an inventor, and a major stockholder in a newspaper, a bank, and a silver mine. He once had occasion to use his skills in defense of his town. When a group of Native Americans from outside the region invaded, the people of Pendleton felt threatened, and Rothchild—this son of Kentucky who could ride and shoot—joined a group of state militia volunteers who successfully held the invaders off just long enough for the regular army to arrive. (Native warriors at home in the region around Pendleton joined the army in repelling the invaders.) And this handsome and charming bachelor also found time for romance. He became one of the town's most admired citizens and the man whom nearly everyone trusted most. He was a long-time city councilor and was the author of many measures that abetted Pendleton's growth, its stability, and its ultimate leading role in eastern Oregon commerce. Perhaps most importantly, he worked consistently to promote the institutions of civil society. Later, Rothchild made similar contributions to civic life in the mining town that became known as Republic, Washington. He died in San Francisco in 1930. The American West owes its development not to the righteous lone gun-slingers of western fiction, but rather to settlers like Rothchild, who saw to it that a civil society developed in hundreds of small places.
