Download or read book The Flockmaster of Poison Creek Western Novel written by George W. Ogden and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2022-01-04 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Flockmaster of Poison Creek is a western novel by George W. Ogden. Ogden was a prolific author of western novels. He often used to do original research for his books and settings. Excerpt: "So John Mackenzie had put his foot upon the road. This after he had reasoned it out as a mathematical problem, considering it as a matter of quantities alone. There was nothing in school-teaching at sixty dollars a month when men who had to carry a rubber stamp to sign their names to their checks were making fortunes all around him in sheep. That was the way it looked to John Mackenzie the morning he set out for Poison Creek to hunt up Tim Sullivan and strike him for a job. Against the conventions of the country, he had struck out on foot. That also had been reasoned out in a cool and calculative way. A sheepherder had no use for a horse, in the first place. Secondly and finally, the money a horse would represent would buy at least twelve head of ewes. With questioning eyes upon him when he left Jasper, and contemptuous eyes upon him when he met riders in his dusty journey, John Mackenzie had pushed on, his pack on his back..."

Download or read book God Is Not Great written by Christopher Hitchens and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2008-11-19 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christopher Hitchens, described in the London Observer as “one of the most prolific, as well as brilliant, journalists of our time” takes on his biggest subject yet–the increasingly dangerous role of religion in the world. In the tradition of Bertrand Russell’s Why I Am Not a Christian and Sam Harris’s recent bestseller, The End Of Faith, Christopher Hitchens makes the ultimate case against religion. With a close and erudite reading of the major religious texts, he documents the ways in which religion is a man-made wish, a cause of dangerous sexual repression, and a distortion of our origins in the cosmos. With eloquent clarity, Hitchens frames the argument for a more secular life based on science and reason, in which hell is replaced by the Hubble Telescope’s awesome view of the universe, and Moses and the burning bush give way to the beauty and symmetry of the double helix.

Download or read book A Monument to Her Grief written by John F. Gallagher and published by . This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly 150 years ago, the Massachusetts state constabulary launched an investigation into the brutal murders of three elderly people at their farmhouse on Thompson Street in rural Halifax. The story of the murders and the aftermath has been passed down through the generations and has become part of local lore. Until now, no comprehensive, definitive, substantiated account has been published. To fully disclose what happened, and why, required extensive research into the holdings of the Halifax Historical Society and Museum, contemporaneous news accounts, court and prison records, town histories, census returns, vital records, archival manuscripts, case law, and other documentary evidence. A genealogical study of the principal characters in the story helped in sorting out the intertwined relationships common to small communities of the era, giving shape to the characters' lives leading up to the murders and lending context to the hard facts of the case.

Download or read book NERO Power and Luxury in Rome written by Editions LeBooks and published by Lebooks Editora. This book was released on 2024-03-21 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus was one of the Caesars and ruled Rome between the years 54 to 68 AD. Like his predecessors, he wielded power with violence and a good dose of insanity. Besides seeing himself as a deity, Nero considered himself a brilliant artist and dedicated much of his energy as a musician and actor to prove this.However, Nero went down in history as a murderer, madman, and debauchee, with no limits to obtaining what he desired, which in terms of power could mean the murder of his own mother and half-brother as well as the unrestricted possession of absolutely anyone, woman or man, who crossed his path and aroused his desire.This work portrays the power struggle behind the scenes of the Roman Empire, where poisoning was one of the main strategies, as well as Nero's trajectory, from his rise to power through the cruelty and obstinacy of his mother Agrippina to the tragic outcome when he commits suicide to avoid the wrath of his people. An unforgettable read.

Book excerpt: Journalist Maximillian Potter uncovers a fascinating plot to destroy the vines of La Romance-Conti, Burgundy's finest and most expensive wine. In January 2010, Aubert de Villaine, the famed proprietor of the Domaine de la Romance-Conti, the tiny, storied vineyard that produces the most expensive, exquisite wines in the world, received an anonymous note threatening the destruction of his priceless vines by poison—a crime that in the world of high-end wine is akin to murder—unless he paid a one million euro ransom. Villaine believed it to be a sick joke, but that proved a fatal miscalculation and the crime shocked this fabled region of France. The sinister story that Vanity Fair journalist Maximillian Potter uncovered would lead to a sting operation by some of France's top detectives, the primary suspect's suicide, and a dramatic investigation. This botanical crime threatened to destroy the fiercely traditional culture surrounding the world's greatest wine. Shadows in the Vineyard takes us deep into a captivating world full of fascinating characters, small-town French politics, an unforgettable narrative, and a local culture defined by the twinned veins of excess and vitality and the deep reverent attention to the land that runs through it.
