Without recourse to anything but her wonderful memory, she collected the material for this book, and then undertook the almost incredible task of transcribing in longhand the voluminous mass of facts which she had accumulated.This writing she accomplished between times as she worked in her garden or looked after her chickens and turkeys on her little farm in California. Primarily, as a sort of family story for her descendants, she worked to leave them a remembrance of the conditions of life which all pioneer people had lived. Her story tells of the struggles in pioneer times; in which woman bore her share of the burden. Most of her companions have joined the silent ranks, but their children and children's children may learn here something of the heroic work their parents accomplished in building homes in a new country.W. S.(Will) Cooper (husband of Estelle Fulton)1930This is the most interesting and exciting factual history of crossing the Plains and settling the West you will ever hope to read. Every chapter is written in such a manner that you cannot wait to read the next few paragraphs to see how each drama is going to play out. If you grew up in the Methow Valley before World War II, your genes are loaded with those of your Grandparents and Great Grandparents who made this western trek across the Plains, over the Rocky Mountains and into the Northwest Territory of Washington by wagon train to open up new frontiers never before settled by white families. Up to 80% of the first 150 pioneers to settle in the Methow Valley were either their children, children of relatives or close friends of Frank and Arabella Fulton coming from Wise County in Texas and later to the Ellensburg area in Washington.Four of Frank and Belle Fulton's children (Lee, Frank, Jr., Nellie, and Jacqueline (sic) along with numerous nephews, nieces and in-laws and some of their parents, came to stake out homesteads in the Methow Valley including Hartles, Pattersons, Barnharts, Germans, and Sullivans. Mason Thurlow (perhaps the first farmer in Methow Valley) lived with Frank and Belle Fulton in Texas for several years during his teenage years. Mason Thurlow came to Northwest Territory with the Fultons on the same wagon train.Dale W. Dibble (Methow Valley pioneer family, part of the wagon train from Texas in April, 1883.)1994Arabella finished her writing in the home of her daughter, Della, at Caldwell, Idaho in 1930. Arabella's grandson, David "Lee" Nickell (son of Jacquelyn) paid for a private printing in 1965 in cooperation with Payette Radio of Montreal, Canada. There were 500 copies printed at that time. Lee often discussed with the family that Grandma Fulton's story should be reprinted. Some 30 years later, permission was given by Lee for an adaptation for school use to Judith Greenberg and Helen Carey McKeever - portions are included in A Pioneer Woman's Memoir Based on the Journal of Arabella Clemens Fulton (1995). There has been no attempt to rewrite Belle's language. This is Belle's story, and it is with pleasure that her voice may continue to speak through this unique memoir.Jacquelyn Nickell Fewkes (grand-daughter of Jacquelyn Fulton) 2018.Additional writing included from Arabella's oldest son, Joseph Lee Fulton on the early settlement of the Methow Valley, Washington.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "You mean sixty-one seconds. You said sixty-one minutes, but you mean a little over one minute." "No," I said. "He didn’t have a pulse for over an hour." After a healthy pregnancy, on September 16, 2010, Bonnie L. Engstrom delivered a stillborn baby boy. After sixty-one minutes, just when the doctors were going to call a time of death, James Fulton’s heart began to beat. In that sixty-one minutes, the Engstrom’s been asking for and counting on the powerful intercession of James’s namesake: Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. That James was alive at all was a miracle. But the rest of the story is even more amazing. While the Engstroms were preparing for their little boy to grow up blind, unable to walk or talk, and be fed by a tube for the rest of his life, another miracle occurred. Against all medical odds, James not only survived, but he began — and continues — to thrive. In 2014, medical experts and theological advisors to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints unanimously approved the miracle. This amazing true story, full of weakness and strength, heartbreak and celebration, hope and joy, teaches us that through our faith in Christ and the prayers of the great cloud of witnesses, miracles are possible. "Believe the incredible, and you can do the impossible." – Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

Download or read book Before Harlem written by Ajuan Maria Mance and published by Univ Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 753 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite important recovery and authentication efforts during the last twenty-five years, the vast majority of nineteenth-century African American writers and their work remain unknown to today’s readers. Moreover, the most widely used anthologies of black writing have established a canon based largely on current interests and priorities. Seeking to establish a broader perspective, this collection brings together a wealth of autobiographical writings, fiction, poetry, speeches, sermons, essays, and journalism that better portrays the intellectual and cultural debates, social and political struggles, and community publications and institutions that nurtured black writers from the early 1800s to the eve of the Harlem Renaissance. As editor Ajuan Mance notes, previous collections have focused mainly on writing that found a significant audience among white readers. Consequently, authors whose work appeared in African American–owned publications for a primarily black audience—such as Solomon G. Brown, Henrietta Cordelia Ray, and T. Thomas Fortune—have faded from memory. Even figures as celebrated as Frederick Douglass and Paul Laurence Dunbar are today much better known for their “cross-racial” writings than for the larger bodies of work they produced for a mostly African American readership. There has also been a tendency in modern canon making, especially in the genre of autobiography, to stress antebellum writing rather than writings produced after the Civil War and Reconstruction. Similarly, religious writings—despite the centrality of the church in the everyday lives of black readers and the interconnectedness of black spiritual and intellectual life—have not received the emphasis they deserve. Filling those critical gaps with a selection of 143 works by 65 writers, Before Harlem presents as never before an in-depth picture of the literary, aesthetic, and intellectual landscape of nineteenth-century African America and will be a valuable resource for a new generation of readers. Ajuan Maria Mance is a professor of English at Mills College in Oakland, California. She is the author of Inventing Black Women: African American Poets and Self-Representation, which was named a Choice Outstanding Academic Title. Her articles have appeared in the Journal of African American Studies, Callaloo, and several edited collections.

Download or read book Fulton Sheen and the Very Bad Week written by Bonnie L Engstrom and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-09-03 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once upon a time, but not so very long ago, a little boy lived in the middle of a town in the middle of the Middle West. The boy was named Peter John Sheen, but everyone called him Fulton. And poor Fulton had no idea that as summer came to an end he was about to begin a VERY BAD WEEK. Fulton Sheen and the Very Bad Week is the retelling of true stories from Venerable Fulton J. Sheen's childhood. With beautiful illustrations and relatable storytelling, young readers will identify with and feel for Fulton as he encounters tough situations and makes mistakes throughout his very bad week. And, like Fulton, they will be reminded that Jesus loves them no matter what. Written by the mother of Archbishop Sheen's "Miracle Baby," Fulton Sheen and the Very Bad Week is a great way to introduce children, classrooms, and families to America's Bishop.
