Download or read book A Puncher s Chance written by Jeff Weddle and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems of Jeff Weddle's new collection, A Puncher's Chance, are alive with all the mystery, beauty, love, loss, and heartbreak we are surrounded by every day in this world of ours. Weddle shows off his range in this book with an array of poems from the lushly lyrical to the cut-the-crap, straight-talking conversational. In here, there are dream-like visions, laments of rejection, celebrations of redemption, and rallying incitements to his fellow artists to keep up the good fight of creation and imagination. How else can we survive in this world gone at least half-mad? One of the poems in this collection claims, ?It is time for us to be good to one another.? Indeed, it is. The strong voice in Jeff Weddle's poems is one of honest devotion to his craft and committed resistance to corruption and lies. It's just what we need right now. Scott Silsbe, author of Muskrat Friday Dinner

Download or read book Ecorse written by Kathy Covert Warnes and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014-09-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: French explorers called the Ecorse River the river of bark, or Ecorces, because the Huron Indians who lived in the villages surrounding it wrapped their dead in the bark of the birch trees that grew along its banks. White pioneers settled on French ribbon farms along the Detroit River, and a small village called Grandport sprang up where the Ecorse River met the Detroit River. By 1836, Grandport, now known as Ecorse, had grown into a fishing and farming center, and, by the 1900s Ecorse had gained fame as a haven for bootleggers during Prohibition, an important shipbuilding center, and the home of several championship rowing teams.

Download or read book Ghost Empire written by Philip Marchand and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2009-02-24 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History, travelogue, and memoir combine in this illuminating journey in the footsteps of the great explorer La Salle. This is the extraordinary account of a personal and historical quest in which Philip Marchand retraces the seventeenth-century explorations of La Salle while he searches in the present day for vestiges of France’s lost North American legacy. After he explored the Great Lakes and the entire Mississippi, La Salle was murdered by his own men when he led them on a disastrous mission to Texas. The vast land beyond Quebec that he claimed for France could have become — but for a few twists of history — an alternative North America: a French-speaking, Catholic empire in which native peoples would have played a prominent role. Marchand probes the intriguingly flawed character of La Salle and recounts the astonishing history of the Jesuit missionaries, coureurs de bois, fur traders, and soldiers who followed on his heels, and of the Indian nations with whom they came into contact. He also reports on the survivals of this diaspora from late-night bars, battle reenactments, parish churches, and wayside restaurants from Montreal to Venice, Louisiana. And throughout he draws on memories of his own Catholic childhood in Massachusetts to interpret the lingering attitudes, fears, hopes, and iconography of a people who, more deeply than most, feel the burdens and the ironies of history.

Download or read book Detroit s Holy Cross Cemetery written by Elaine Walters Raymo and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early hours before dawn on October 6, 1907, a raging fire illuminated the sky as the historic chapel that stood on the cemetery grounds for over half a century reduced to a pile of cinders and ash. Lit by sparks from a nearby barn ablaze from an act of arson, the fire destroyed priceless paintings, relics, statues, and artifacts that held sacrament to the area's earliest settlers. So ended the era of the cemetery's obscure past and launched a new era for the little mission?turned?graveyard nestled southwest of Detroit. Detroit's Holy Cross Cemetery is a collage of persons whose immigrant dreams landed them in an area budding with industry. The cemetery's evolution reflects the waves of immigration, from the early French to the Irish, Germans, Hungarians, Poles, and Hispanics. From its 1838 2-acre roots to its current 65-acre span, Holy Cross Cemetery filled the need for a Catholic cemetery on Detroit's west side.

Book excerpt: Muskrats are of much economic value, and should be protected by proper laws. Legal enactments should forbid their destruction during reproducing season and whenever their furs are not prime. Spearing and shooting should be prohibited. Muskrat houses should be protected at all times. The trapping season should be nearly uniform for the different states. Protective laws should contain provisions allowing corporations and individuals whose property is being damaged by muskrats to destroy the animals in the closed season under th supervision of game wardens or other officers, but not for profit. If properly protected the muskrat will continue to inhabit our rivers and ponds for an indefinite period, and to furnish a stock of furs for our own future generations."--Page 37-38.
