But Professor Doss had a plan to remedy all of that. A big plan. A miraculous plan. And he was anxious to set it in motion, even it meant engaging in a bit of deceit. You may say he had no intention on 'dragon' his feet on the matter. No siree. Not Dr. Buford Doss. So he ends up hoofing it deep into the wilderness. Guided by a drug smuggler hunting forest ranger armed with a rifle that's more like a cannon. He gets to work on his miracle project while being dangerously close to armed drones assisting the ranger in weeding out the weed growers. Then he experiences success by failing. A paradox that seems to reflect his life in general. Now, about those dragons, he discovers he shouldn't have messed with them in the first place.
Download or read book Bullets That Changed America written by Peter Zablocki and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-06-13 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One gunshot by a single person could be powerful enough to move a whole nation. Well known are the assassinations of Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, William McKinley, and Martin Luther King Jr., and their long-lasting consequences. History, however, is littered with lesser-known gunshots that have had equally echoing outcomes. Some were small mistakes or misjudgments, others intentional acts that sparked events documented in our history textbooks. A single bullet serves as the catalyst for each of the stories in this book. We may or may not know who fired it but we know each bullet's end point and the effects it had on America's trajectory: the wars, social movements, and political and economic paradigm shifts. The names of those involved may not to many be recognizable but the events their acts precipitated are etched in American history.

I found a place where I can just have that special time that I needed to completely rest my thoughts of all the negative things going on in my life. During an average day for anyone in today’s world are many thoughts of worry and concern for no one ever knows what life has in store for them. Th ere are so many people trying to escape from things that happen in everyday life. Where can we go to get away and completely lose track of time and only have but one thing on their minds that is completely peaceful? Well, that place was bass fishing for me for there was always a close place to fi sh for bass, even if it was for only a short period of time, and it did not cost me very much for that kind of therapy. Bass fishing gave me time to clear my head when things were getting too hectic. When I would return from bass fishing, it was like I had gone to a place that very few people ever got to see. Bass fishing had helped me to learn how to relax my mind. When I went bass fishing, I could just sit back and get a chance to meet the largemouth bass on a one-to-one basis. Sometimes I would just throw my small boat in the back of my truck to go bass fishing, and I did not have any destination in mind. I would just drive off and search for places to fish that I had never seen before.
Download or read book Blood Feud written by Lisa Alther and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013-02-05 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America’s most notorious family feud began in 1865 with the murder of a Union McCoy soldier by a Confederate Hatfield relative of "Devil Anse" Hatfield. More than a decade later, Ranel McCoy accused a Hatfield cousin of stealing one of his hogs, triggering years of violence and retribution, including a Romeo-and-Juliet interlude that eventually led to the death of one of McCoy’s daughters. In a drunken brawl, three of McCoy's sons killed Devil Anse Hatfield’s younger brother. Exacting vigilante vengeance, a group of Hatfields tied them up and shot them dead. McCoy posses hijacked part of the Hatfield firing squad across state lines to stand trial, while those still free burned down Ranel McCoy’s cabin and shot two of his children in a botched attempt to suppress the posses. Legal wrangling ensued until the US Supreme Court ruled that Kentucky could try the captured West Virginian Hatfields. Seven went to prison, and one, mentally disabled, yelled, “The Hatfields made me do it!” as he was hanged. But the feud didn’t end there. Its legend continues to have an enormous impact on the popular imagination and the region. With a charming voice, a wonderfully dry sense of humor, and an abiding gift for spinning a yarn, bestselling author Lisa Alther makes an impartial, comprehensive, and compelling investigation of what happened, masterfully setting the feud in its historical and cultural contexts, digging deep into the many causes and explanations of the fighting, and revealing surprising alliances and entanglements. Here is a fascinating new look at the infamous Hatfield-McCoy feud.
