Book excerpt: Roderick Haig-Brown, an author best known for his classic books on fly fishing, also wrote two novels about life and work in the northwest woods. On the Highest Hill tells the story of Colin Ensley, a shy and solitary young man who is more at home in nature than he is with people. Colin's fate is ruled by two great loves, for a woman and for a place. For both, he must struggle. The story unfolds in logging camps, in bustling Vancouver, on the Canadian prairies, and in wartime Europe, but always returns to the vast forests, mountains, and wilderness valleys of Vancouver Island - where Colin's story begins and where it comes to its violent and tragic end.

Download or read book From My Highest Hill written by Olive Tilford Dargan and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 1925 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In From My Highest Hill, a long-overlooked masterpiece of American literature, Olive Tilford Dargan captures with affection and uncanny accuracy the character traits, attitudes, folkways, and dialect of the people who lived in the Great Smoky Mountains during the early years of the twentieth century. First published in 1925 as Highland Annals, the story cycle was extensively revised before it was reissued under its current title in 1941. The second edition included for the first time fifty striking illustrations by photographer Bayard Wootten. Among the delightful characters who come to life in the book are Serena, who "'always take[s] the gait [she] can keep,'" and Sam, who has "'always got duck-oil on his tongue.'" In her moving and amusing encounters with her highland neighbors, Dargan's narrator, an outsider and a woman alone, learns many valuable lessons from them and gradually wins their acceptance and trust. The republication of From My Highest Hill is comparable in significance to the rediscovery of Kate Chopin's Awakening in the 1960s and of Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God in the 1970s. This edition includes an introduction that describes Olive Dargan's life and literary career and assesses From My Highest Hill from a critical perspective. It also contains an afterword that provides biographical information about Bayard Wootten and commentary on her illustrations. The Author: Olive Tilford Dargan (1869-1968), a Kentucky native who lived for two decades in the mountains of western North Carolina, published many critically acclaimed works of poetry, drama, and prose fiction. Her 1932 radical feminist novel,Call Home the Heart, was reprinted by the Feminist Press in 1983. The Editors: Anna Shannon Elfenbein teaches classes in American fiction and film and women's studies at West Virginia University. She is the author of Women on the Color Line: Evolving Stereotypes and the Writings of George Washington Cable, Grace King, Kate Chopin and an editor of Engendering the Word: Feminist Essays in Psychosexual Poetics. Jonathan Morrow is a doctoral candidate at West Virginia University and has contributed essays to Feminist Writers, The Encyclopedia of Novels Into Films, and the journal Art Papers.

Download or read book Everest 1922 written by Mick Conefrey and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dramatic and inspiring account of the very first attempt to climb Mount Everest, published to coincide with the centenary of the expedition of 1922. The first attempt on Everest in 1922 by George Leigh Mallory and a British team is an extraordinary story full of controversy, drama, and incident, populated by a set of larger-than-life characters straight out of an adventure novel. The expedition ended in tragedy when, on their third bid for the top, Mallory's party was hit by an avalanche that left seven men dead. Using diaries, letters, and unpublished accounts, Mick Conefrey creates a rich, character-driven narrative that explores the motivations and private dramas of the key individuals—detailing their backroom politics and bitter rivalries—who masterminded this epic adventure.

Book excerpt: How did we ever grow up, children were born in their mothers bedroom. We drank raw milk, with thick cream on the top. There was lead paint on EVERYTHING, asbestos insulation on every school building, no seat belts, no bicycle helmets, no child labor laws, no clean air laws, no safety caps on pill bottles or ant poison. Actually, we were free people, free to think and learn for ourselves. The hazards of the period were measles, mumps, dyptheria, polio. There was ONE doctor in my town, and he was kept busy delivering babies and removing kids' tonsils. There was ONE lawyer and I guess most of his business was divorces of the wealthy. Malpractice had not been invented and insurance companies sold LIFE insurance. Yep, it was a whole different world those days.
