Download or read book Where Are My Friends and Family written by Michael Morgan and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-09-12 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a fictional-historical story about a young boy who is in the wrong place at the wrong time. He lived with his family on a beautiful farm in Currituck, North Carolina. But in 1861, his state became the enemy of the United States, and the Yankee army was coming toward his farm. His father knew he had to protect his son from this war. His decision set his young son on a course that few men would ever travel. The son in this book is based on my great-grandfather, Patrick Henry Morgan. It is a story based on true historical events and is told by Patrick as he lived it. Patrick left his farm in 1862 to begin his schooling at Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia. His father pulled some strings to get him accepted. His father had lost five of his eleven children to disease, and he did not want his oldest to die in war. Patrick takes us through his time at VMI (1862-1864). Patrick discovers quickly that VMI is not for the faint of heart. He tells many stories about his time at VMI, some bad and some happy, but mostly funny. Patrick takes the reader through his part of the Battle of New Market. After the battle, the glory of the victory quickly faded as the realization that many of his friends had died or were wounded. He ended up in Richmond, digging defensive positions while waiting for the Yankees to attack. The Confederates surrendered at Richmond and his quest to get home. He and four other cadets with five dollars between them traveled 200 miles through Yankee-occupied territory to finally make it home. He helped his community and state by becoming a lawyer, a State Senator of North Carolina, a superintendent of the Lifesaving Service that became the United States Coast Guard in 1915, and much more. Patrick takes the reader along with him as he helps rebuild his state and tells the stories of meeting incredible men and women along with some famous people who changed the world. All based on true events and people with a few assumptions to make a good story.

Download or read book Land of 10 000 Thrills written by Greg Herren and published by Down & Out Books. This book was released on 2022-09-08 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “But will it play in Peoria?” For years, the Midwest has been used as a stand-in for “average America”. The sweeping great plains, the heavy snows of winter, ice fishing and mighty rivers and frozen lakes. Midwesterners have a reputation for being the salt of the earth, friendly and kind and helpful and nice. But is “Midwestern nice” merely a cover for what really goes on in this part of the country? John Wayne Gacy, the bloody Benders, and Jeffrey Dahmer were all Midwesterners—but that doesn’t mean every Midwesterner has bodies buried in their basements…or does it? To celebrate Boucheron, the world’s largest mystery fan convention, coming to Minneapolis in 2022, editor Greg Herren is proud to present a series of tales that will shock and surprise you—and maybe make you think twice about that ice-fishing trip, or before taking a snowmobile out after the sun goes down. Featuring authors from all over the Midwest who know just how dark and lonesome it can get out there in the country at night, these crime stories will entertain you with their trip down the dark side of the “real America”—where the twilight’s last gleaming has an entirely different meaning and feel. Featuring some of the top, award-winning authors in the field today—from Mindy Mejia to Marcie R. Rendon to Michael Wiley, Susanna Calkins and Erica Ruth Neubauer, and Bryon Quertermous, Tessa Wegert, Raquel V. Reyes, and Richie Narvaez—doing some of their finest work to date. Collected and curated by award-winning editor Greg Herren, with stories ranging from light to darkly funny to just out-and-out macabre, Land of 10,000 Thrills is one of the strongest anthologies put together by the Bouchercon conference to date. These stories may not “play in Peoria”…but mystery fans everywhere will enjoy them.

Download or read book Remedy for Romance written by F. R. Lee and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-12-04 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aileen Benay Farley under the pen name of F. R. Lee was born July on 28, 1917, in Illinois. At a young age, she and her parents and sister relocated to Vero Beach, Florida. In 1926, Aileens father built the house where Aileen continued to live into her later years. Aileen went to college in Chicago where she studied Dress Designing. During this time, she was discovered, and became a high fashion runway model during the 30s and 40s and into the early 50s in New York City. She was also a model for Elizabeth Arden Cosmetics, and was frequently on magazine covers, such as McCalls. Some of her modeling pictures are also in the Library of Congress. Over the years, Aileen drove back and forth from New York City to Vero Beach in a 1956 Ford she called Henry, since she spent the winters in Vero Beach avoiding the cold winters in the North. Aileen was not married and had no children, and in later years, became very eccentric living in the house built by her father. Aileen owned property in Vero Beach, part of which was an orange grove, and another part of the property had a natural hammock. At her propertys sale, she requested that the hammock was not to be destroyed. While Aileen was in Vero Beach, she would spend long hours tending to her citrus grove and property. This property is an up-scale, gated community located in southwestern Vero Beach and presently called Lost Hammock. In addition, the main street through the community is named, Farleys Court after Aileen. The original manuscript of this book Remedy for Romance, which Aileen typed on a manual typewriter, was included among numerous pictures of her modeling days, and discovered after her death in 2003.

Download or read book Ponzi written by Gene Lovell and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can a leopard change its spots? What cataclysmic force or horrific event could bring a God-fearing, straight-as-an-arrow man to embrace Charles Ponzi as a hero? Zippy Cosmo was born at the height of the Great Depression to impoverished parents. He grew up on a cigarette and a piss for breakfast, but with a steely work ethic and a penchant for self-sacrifice and honesty. His picture is the dictionary definition of altruism. Widows and orphans championed him. He brought great happiness to the orgasmically deprived. No charitable cause was beneath his notice. The great, near-great, and the gutter-dweller were thrilled to be the subject of one of his magnificent, unsolicited oil portraits. Yet at life's end, he ripped off thousands for millions. Who wrought this change? The mob? A dominatrix? Witness the transformation of a soul that would give Freud dreams of revision...
