Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Letters From Clam Song began by me as a way of sharing with my two great nephews Jack Hardy Wurth and Henry James Wurth currently four years old and two years old what their Auntie's life was like during 2007-2008. I wanted them to have a picture as it were of how I lived with my miniature Dachshund Chauncey during that time. I also thought they would come to know what it was like for a single woman to live in a very natural setting. Clam Song is the name of my home and property (1.19 acres) based on a poem written by my friend, Leslie Wilson after she visited the untouched land with me. Once Chauncey and I became full time year long residents in our newly built home I began to use e-mail as a means of sharing our Clam Bayou and island experiences. Eventually my cousin Jane Hardy and I evolved into daily e-mails. Jane and her husband Steve live near Boston. Jane is the Director of Athletics and Physical Education Department Chair at Shady Hill School so at times my letters reflect our mutual professional careers. The book is really an account of day to day living with the environment as well as the mundane. Three of the concepts I hope Jack and Henry and those who choose to read Letters From Clam Song will learn is the necessity of protecting our natural environment of spending time enjoying it and learning from its inhabitants and the importance of volunteering. Throughout the book there are references to my volunteer work especially with the Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge, the Sanibel Wildlife Committee and the International Osprey Foundation. There are also accounts of beach walking activities with Chauncey Clam Bayou is located next to the Gulf of Mexico as well as walking and biking hours through island preserves, the Refuge and bike paths. Since Clam Bayou provides a habitat for a variety of birds, mammals, reptiles, and insects there are observations and sightings. Of course the day to day living events are also included. Such events include the changing from septic system to city sewer system, the loss of a washing machine, Chauncey's operation or the problems with cable and computer connections! The reader will also learn more about my cousin Jane and my immediate family who came from Arizona to celebrate my 65th birthday during the time period. Most of all kayaking in Clam Bayou with its many acres of water and inhabitants is a favorite activity and topic. Luckily Chauncey makes an excellent first mate on shorter trips and thus the picture of us on the back cover of the book. Perhaps that says it best as to how we are to live our lives.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Hogg left a written record of three of his many journeys to the Highlands, those of 1802, 1803 and 1804, and in Highland Journeys he offers a thoughtful and deeply-felt response to the Highland Clearances. He gives vivid pictures of his experiences, including a narrow escape from a Navy press-gang, and a Sacrament day with one minister preaching in English and another in Gaelic. Hogg also explains aspects of Gaelic culture such as the waulking songs, and he describes the trade in kelp, lucrative to the landowners but back-breaking and ill-paid for the workers. Highland Journeys makes a refreshing contribution to our understanding of early nineteenth-century travel writing"--Publisher description.

Download or read book Can t Stand Still written by Michael K. Johnson and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2019-02-13 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in 1893 into the only African American family in White Sulphur Springs, Montana, Emmanuel Taylor Gordon (1893–1971) became an internationally famous singer in the 1920s at the height of the Harlem Renaissance. With his musical partner, J. Rosamond Johnson, Gordon was a crucially important figure in popularizing African American spirituals as an art form, giving many listeners their first experience of black spirituals. Despite his fame, Taylor Gordon has been all but forgotten, until now. Michael K. Johnson illuminates Gordon’s personal history and his cultural importance to the legacy of the Harlem Renaissance, arguing that during the height of his celebrity, Gordon was one of the most significant African American male vocalists of his era. Gordon’s story—working in the White Sulphur Springs brothels as an errand boy, traveling the country in John Ringling’s private railway car, performing on vaudeville stages from New York to Vancouver to Los Angeles, performing for royalty in England, becoming a celebrated author with a best-selling 1929 autobiography, and his long bout of mental illness—adds depth to the history of the Harlem Renaissance and makes him one of the most fascinating figures of the twentieth century. Through detailed documentation of Gordon’s career—newspaper articles, reviews, letters, and other archival material—the author demonstrates the scope of Gordon’s cultural impact. The result is a detailed account of Taylor’s musical education, his career as a vaudeville performer, the remarkable performance history of Johnson and Gordon, his status as an in-demand celebrity singer and author, his time as a radio star, and, finally, his descent into madness. Can’t Stand Still brings Taylor Gordon back to the center of the stage.
