Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Paul Kruger and His Times One of the chief difficulties in writing a biography of President Kruger arises from his own reluctance to talk either about himself or his career. The reluctance cannot but be respected, though it may well be wished that it could be overcome. Beyond this, the earlier records of Transvaal history are both slender and scattered.

Download or read book Fair Game written by David Fleminger and published by Dogdog Publishing. This book was released on 2017 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fair Game tells the story of the Kruger's hidden history and heritage, from its establishment as the Sabi Reserve in 1898 to its eventual declaration as a national park, and beyond. It's an engrossing tale filled with stubborn personalities, twists of fate, unlikely heroes, greedy villains and (luckily) a very happy ending. So, prepare yourself for a grand historical safari as we recount the little-known tale of an unwanted wasteland that grew into the one of the greatest game reserves in the world.The Kruger National Park is an internationally renowned wildlife sanctuary and one of South Africa's top tourist attractions. However, this wasn't always the case. For the first 30 years of the park's existence, it was very unpopular and many people downright hated the idea of a reserve dedicated to the preservation of animals ('But what's the point of looking at the things?', one critic decried). In fact, without the dedication and fortitude of a handful of champions, the park would likely have been abandoned, diluted or deproclaimed altogether. Also included: a comprehensive planning guide and custom maps to help you make the most of your visit to the Kruger National Park.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Paul Kruger His Life Story The little volume is not a political pamphlet in disguise. Those who want transcripts of State papers, the text of Conventions or the like, will have to seek them elsewhere. My aim has been to tell the story of Kruger the Man, not to write a history of the Transvaal. What sort of a man is he? What are his ideals, his ambitions, his methods? What was the condition of things that made the autocratic rule of this patriarch so long possible at the end of the nineteenth century? Why his distrust of and enmity to England? These questions I have endeavoured to answer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! “If you liked Where the Crawdads Sing, you’ll love This Tender Land...This story is as big-hearted as they come.” —Parade The unforgettable story of four orphans who travel the Mississippi River on a life-changing odyssey during the Great Depression. In the summer of 1932, on the banks of Minnesota’s Gilead River, Odie O’Banion is an orphan confined to the Lincoln Indian Training School, a pitiless place where his lively nature earns him the superintendent’s wrath. Forced to flee after committing a terrible crime, he and his brother, Albert, their best friend, Mose, and a brokenhearted little girl named Emmy steal away in a canoe, heading for the mighty Mississippi and a place to call their own. Over the course of one summer, these four orphans journey into the unknown and cross paths with others who are adrift, from struggling farmers and traveling faith healers to displaced families and lost souls of all kinds. With the feel of a modern classic, This Tender Land is an enthralling, big-hearted epic that shows how the magnificent American landscape connects us all, haunts our dreams, and makes us whole.
Download or read book Last Call at the Nightshade Lounge written by Paul Krueger and published by Quirk Books. This book was released on 2016-06-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “snarky, diverse” urban fantasy featuring a kick-ass heroine and 14 cocktail recipes will be “an absolute blast” for fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (Nerdist). Booze is magic, demons are real—and millennial Bailey Chen joins a band of monster-fighting Chicago bartenders instead of finding a “real” post-college job. Bailey Chen is fresh out of college with all the usual new-adult demons: no cash, no job offers, and an awkward relationship with Zane, the old friend she kinda-sorta hooked up with during high school. But when Zane introduces Bailey to his monster-fighting bartender friends, her demons become a lot more literal. It turns out that evil creatures stalk the city streets after hours, and they can be hunted only with the help of magically mixed cocktails: vodka grants super-strength, whiskey offers the power of telekinesis, and rum lets its drinker fire blasts of elemental energy. But will all these powers be enough for Bailey to halt a mysterious rash of gruesome deaths? And what will she do when the safety of a “real world” job beckons? This sharp and funny urban fantasy is perfect for fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, and grown-up readers of Harry Potter. Includes 14 recipes from a book of ancient cocktail lore.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Queen or President?: An Indictment of Paul Kruger Empire, of Liberty, and of Truth that is being championed, and discussion of the facts is too grave a matter to admit of levity or inconsequential parochialism. Let those who will canonise the Boers. Let those who will characterise the Uit landers as depraved sybarites unfit to step into the shoes of the heterogeneous rulers of the Transvaal. But let it not be forgotten that we have taken up arms in defence of claims pegged out in South Africa for the benefit of posterity. There is only one question at the bottom of all the trouble - whether we are to retain our paramountcy in South Africa, or suffer expulsion from power at the hands of so-called Boer republicans under the tutelage of European adventurers. Mr Kruger has worked assiduously to bring about the downfall of the Imperial factor. He sowed the wind; he will reap the whirlwind. He applied himself to the undermining of British authority, and he has forfeited his own. It is my Opinion that the friends of Mr Kruger are the enemies of the Boer.
