Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Centering around the life and times of the revered American sportswriter Grantland Rice (1880-1954), How You Played the Game takes us back to those magical days of sporting tales and mythic heroes. Through Rice's eyes we behold such sports as bicycle racing, boxing, golf, baseball, football, and tennis as they were played before 1950. We witness ups and downs in the careers of such legendary figures as Christy Mathewson, Jack Dempsey, Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Jim Thorpe, Red Grange, Bobby Jones, Bill Tilden, Notre Dame's Four Horsemen, Gene Tunney, and Babe Didrikson--all of whom Rice helped become household names. Grantland Rice was a remarkably gifted and honorable sportswriter. From his early days in Nashville and Atlanta, to his famed years in New York, Rice was acknowledged by all for his uncanny grasp of the ins and outs of a dozen sports, as well as his personal friendship with hundreds of sportsmen and sportswomen. As a pioneer in American sportswriting, Rice helped establish and dignify the profession, sitting shoulder to shoulder in press boxes around the nation with the likes of Ring Lardner, Damon Runyon, Heywood Broun, and Red Smith. Besides being a first-rate reporter, Rice was also a columnist, poet, magazine and book writer, film producer, family man, war veteran, fund-raiser, and skillful golfer. His personal accomplishments over a half century as an advocate for sports and good sportsmanship are astounding by any standard. What truly set Rice apart from so many of his peers, however, was the idea behind his sports reporting and writing. He believed that good sportsmanship was capable of lifting individuals, societies, and even nations to remarkable heights of moral and social action. More than just a biography of Grantland Rice, How You Played the Game is about the rise of American sports and the early days of those who created the art and craft of sportswriting. Exploring the life of a man who perfectly blended journalism and sporting culture, this book is sure to appeal to all, sports lovers or not.

Every cemetery within the contemporary boundaries of Blount was visited by the author and each readable tombstone was copied to develop the contents of this three volume series. Most of the cemeteries were read in 2002. Volume 3 covers alphabetically P through Z, beginning with the Pine Bluff Missionary Baptist Church Cemetery and concluding with the Zion Hill Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery. Several cemeteries from adjoining counties are also included. This book is vital to any serious student of Blount County genealogy and history.

Book excerpt: Doctor Kate, Angel on Snowshoes, which was first published in 1956, tells the inspiring story of a woman doctor whose faith and selfless devotion to her community saved hundreds of lives and built a church and a hospital—a woman who won the respect and love of all who knew her. Kate Pelham Newcomb (1885-1956), or “Dr. Kate” as she was known to her community, was a physician in northern Wisconsin. She practiced medicine in and around Boulder Junction and Woodruff, Wisconsin, in the 1930s, 40s and 50s. In 1954 she gained national recognition from television producer Ralph Edwards and the NBC program This Is Your Life for inspiring the “Million Penny Parade”, to raise funds for a new hospital. The week the episode aired, some 274 pounds of mail arrived in Woodruff, containing more than 1.3 million pennies. The 19-bed Lakeland Memorial Hospital, with Dr. Kate serving as chief of staff, opened in March 1954. Adele Comandini’s biography of Dr. Kate became a New York Times bestseller.

Download or read book Phantom Lake written by Birk Sproxton and published by University of Alberta. This book was released on 2005-09 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phantom Lake explores the stories, legends, and tall tales that make up “Flin Flon,” a real imaginary place perched on rocky outcrops and lakes of the Canadian Shield. Lakes and stories together draw Sproxton into their spell. He travels by trains, planes, Bombardiers and automobiles across the West to understand Flin Flon and so understand himself. The northern stories, like Shield Lakes seen from the air, become ink-blots to test the writer’s mettle. "Someone said the lake was named Phantom because of its deceptive bays. You think you're going one place and then you find you've gone somewhere else." In a series of trips—real and imagined—to the Manitoba-Saskatchewan mining district north of 54° latitude, the narrator seeks to find himself between the waters of the elusive Phantom Lake and the monster rocks of Flin Flon, famous for its strange name, legendary riches, and underground marijuana operations. In his quest, Sproxton encounters fictional characters in The Sunless City and The Lobstick Trail, two novels that imagine the town into existence. Sproxton tells of the first gold rush, the draining of Flin Flon Lake, the emergence of the open pit, smelter smoke and slag pour, headframes and tailings ponds. Stories of work and play— including prospectors Tom Creighton, David Collins, Kate Rice, explorers Alexander Henry, David Thompson and J. B. Tyrrell, and the man who became a gunslinger—are set North of 54 among a network of spectacular lakes reaching from Amisk (Beaver) to Athapapuskow to Wekusko (Herb). At the center of this fictional and historical mosaic lies the elusive Phantom Lake.
