Book excerpt: THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Elvis Presley’s fiancée and last love tells her story and sets the record straight in this deeply personal memoir that reveals what really happened in the final years of the King of Rock n' Roll. Elvis Presley and Graceland were fixtures in Ginger Alden’s life; after all, she was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee. But she had no idea that she would play a part in that enduring legacy. For more than three decades Ginger has held the truth of their relationship close to her heart. Now she shares her unique story… In her own words, Ginger details their whirlwind romance—from first kiss to his stunning proposal of marriage. And for the very first time, she talks about the devastating end of it all and the fifty thousand mourners and reporters who descended on Graceland in 1977, exposing Ginger to the reality of living in the spotlight of a short yet immortal life. Above it all, Ginger rescues Elvis from the hearsay, rumors, and tabloid speculations of his final year by shedding a frank yet personal light on a very public legend. From a unique and intimate perspective, she reveals the man—complicated, romantic, fallible, and human—behind the myth, a superstar worshipped by millions and loved by Ginger Alden. INCLUDES PHOTOS

Download or read book Pilgrim Alden written by Augustus Ephraim Alden and published by Pantianos Classics. This book was released on 1902 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historical biography of John Alden, one of the pilgrims who founded Plymouth Colony, was commissioned by his descendant Augustus Alden. We commence with a summary of the period in which John was born; Elizabethan England and its politics are pertinent to how the subject's life ensued. Discontent with religious persecutions they saw as untenable, Alden and the other emigrants to North America planned their voyage to New England. They obtained a ship named the Mayflower for passage, and successfully founded the famous settlement at Plymouth despite shortages of food and adverse conditions. John's role aboard ship was that of cooper; maintaining the barrels which held supplies vital to the passengers' lives. John Alden's life in Plymouth Colony was defined by diligence and active service. He held roles such as treasurer, served on the Council of War amid conflicts with the local Native American tribes, and also oversaw aspects of trade. Stalwart and responsible in each of his assigned roles, Alden was reelected to the Governor's Council for a consecutive forty-seven years between 1640 and 1686. Living a long and successful life, Alden sired many children and perished aged around eighty-nine; at death, he was the last surviving signer of the original Mayflower Compact.

Download or read book They Knew They Were Pilgrims written by John G. Turner and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ambitious new history of the Pilgrims and Plymouth Colony, published for the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower’s landing In 1620, separatists from the Church of England set sail across the Atlantic aboard the Mayflower. Understanding themselves as spiritual pilgrims, they left to preserve their liberty to worship God in accordance with their understanding of the Bible. There exists, however, an alternative, more dispiriting version of their story. In it, the Pilgrims are religious zealots who persecuted dissenters and decimated the Native peoples through warfare and by stealing their land. The Pilgrims’ definition of liberty was, in practice, very narrow. Drawing on original research using underutilized sources, John G. Turner moves beyond these familiar narratives in his sweeping and authoritative new history of Plymouth Colony. Instead of depicting the Pilgrims as otherworldly saints or extraordinary sinners, he tells how a variety of English settlers and Native peoples engaged in a contest for the meaning of American liberty.
