Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once upon a very distant time, a big Rat became the King in the house of Cats. He would walk on his four tiny legs, around the house, barking orders to all the timid Cats, all in their own house. He was the Lord, their Emperor, and even the very King they knew. And there was none, in the big house, like him. One day, however, Lord Lizard came from the bush on a state visit. He had a golden cap on his head. And his hairless skin was wrapped in pure gold. And even the very claws of his four feet were all painted and coated with the very best of purified liquid gold.

Download or read book The Rutland Mule Matter written by Richard Lee Cronin and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-02 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anxiously awaiting his father's return from the warfront, a 9 year old Central Florida boy is instead witness to a most unusual occurrence, a military officer delivering a mule to his mother. A mule! What happened to his father? Fast forward 20 years, and Othman Rutland is still haunted by that childhood memory. Four fatherless children at war's end, four orphans by 1870, now, he and younger sister Sarah are all that remain of a family of six. Determined to learn what happened to his father, Othman sets out on a life-altering journey. Traveling to Rutledge in 1885, he visits with a retired General, where he begins to collect tiny fragments of a past others would prefer to forget. Learning of the Navy's 1864 landing at Lake Monroe during the close of America's Civil War, Othman's search leads next to Ohio's State Capital, and then to the sacred chambers of a stunning new Pensions Building at our Nation's Capital. Ultimately, Othman's search exposes a file folder, U. S. Provost Marshal's Papers correspondence of the 1860's. A historical novel, The Rutland Mule Matter reveals a true-life story of an early Central Floridian, a statesman, a man who was eradicated from the pages of history. And that man's son, Othman Rutland, finally knowing why his father disappeared, is now faced with a new dilemma, what to do with his disturbing discovery?

Download or read book The Rutland Road written by Jim Shaughnessy and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1997-03-01 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One would be challenged to find a railroad to compare scenically and historically with the Rutland Railroad. With Yankee persistence, it struggled for its existence in the snows of Vermont and northern New York for more than one hundred years. Running through territory amply covered by larger and stronger lines, it survived bankruptcy, receivership, flood, unequal competition, seizure, depression, and strikes. Its vestigial remains operate in a small area to this day. Jim Shaughnessy—award-winning railroad photographer and authority—discusses the Rutland's entire history thoroughly, from preconstrnction in 1831 to the present. In this updated edition, the author covers the history of the three lines that continued to operate after the demise of the Rutland Railroad-the Vermont Railway, the Green Mountain Railroad, and the Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority. Lavishly illustrated with more than 500 incomparable photographs (including those by railroad photographer Philip R. Hastings), The Rutland Road has other features for the railroad enthusiast and historian alike: maps, charts, reproductions of advertisements, a detailed index with engine rosters, a chronology of the Rutland Railroad, and other significant statistical information.

Download or read book The Star That Set written by Samuel B. Hand and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2003 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over a century, from 1854, the year the party was organized, until 1958, Vermonters never failed to elect Republicans to its state and national offices, and every four years they returned a slate of electors pledged to the Republican presidential nominee. The Vermont GOP was trumpeted as the star that never set in the Republican Party's political firmament, until the decline of family farms and the influx of Democrat-leaning urbanites in the 1960s and 1970s eroded the bedrock of Vermont's GOP base. Encompassing the years 1854 to 1974, Samuel Hand's superb historical study documents the rise and fall of Vermont republicanism, exploring the personalities and the religious, political, and social institutions that constituted the Vermont Republican Party. More than simply the authoritative telling of a remarkable century of hegemony for the Vermont GOP, The Star That Set is a compelling story of the waning importance of party in modern American political life.
