In the 1930s he compiled this chronicle of events during and after the Gold Rush -- drawing on newspapers of the time and interviews with early pioneers and their children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experience the first in the epic series featuring the brave members of Omega Squad—an elite team of clone commandos—fighting to protect the Galactic Republic. On a mission to sabotage a chemical weapon research facility on a Separatist-held planet, four clone troopers operate under the very noses of their enemies. The commandos are outnumbered and outgunned, deep behind enemy lines with no backup–and working with strangers instead of trusted teammates. Matters don’t improve when Darman, the squad’s demolitions expert, gets separated from the others during planetfall. Even Darman’s apparent good luck in meeting an inexperienced Padawan vanishes once Etain admits to her woeful naivety. For the separated clone commandos and stranded Jedi, a long, dangerous journey lies ahead, through hostile territory brimming with Trandoshan slavers, Separatists, and suspicious natives. A single misstep could mean discovery . . . and death. It’s a virtual suicide mission for anyone–anyone except Republic Commandos.

Download or read book Catkiller 3 2 written by Raymond Caryl and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2018-09-15 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catkiller 3-2 provides unique insights into the role of the tactical air controller, airborne (TACA) in I Corps as seen through the eyes of one of the pilots who flew low-flying, unarmed, single-engine aircraft in support of Marine ground units during the Vietnam War. When Gen. William Westmoreland changed the Marines' role in I Corps into a combat one, the Marines found themselves in need of more fixed-wing aircraft to handle the TACA missions. The advance party of the Army's 220th Reconnaissance Aircraft Company (RAC) arrived in Vietnam in late June 1965 thinking they were going to be assigned to III Corps Tactical Zone. However, because of the shortage of existing Marine Birddogs, the 220th was immediately reassigned to I Corps and came under the operational control of the Marines. No other work details the tactics, restrictions, aerial maneuvers, and dangers experienced by the Army pilots and Marine aerial observers flying these missions. As young lieutenants and captains, they had at their beck and call as much authority to request and control artillery and air strikes as ground commanders of much higher rank. Raymond G. Caryl provides unrivaled examples of the cultural mores, attitudes, and recreational activity of these young pilots and observers supporting the ground forces.

Download or read book The Sand Creek Massacre written by Stan Hoig and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2013-02-27 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes called "The Chivington Massacre" by those who would emphasize his responsibility for the attack and "The Battle of Sand Creek" by those who would imply that it was not a massacre, this event has become one of our nation’s most controversial Indian conflicts. The subject of army and Congressional investigations and inquiries, a matter of vigorous newspaper debates, the object of much oratory and writing biased in both directions, the Sand Creek Massacre very likely will never be completely and satisfactorily resolved. This account of the massacre investigates the historical events leading to the battle, tracing the growth of the Indian-white conflict in Colorado Territory. The author has shown the way in which the discontent stemming from the treaty of Fort Wise, the depredations committed by the Cheyennes and Arapahoes prior to the massacre, and the desire of some of the commanding officers for a bloody victory against the Indians laid the groundwork for the battle at Sand Creek.

Book excerpt: Thirty nights. Two hearts. One fate. American Beauty, Book 1 After her parents' tragic deaths, Elisa Snow wanted nothing more than to escape her past. Eighteen and alone, she fled her quaint English village and moved to the United States. A starving science student by day and an artist's muse by night, Elisa has slowly built a new life. She never dreamed she would lose everything again. She's one week from graduation when her visa is unexpectedly denied. Given thirty days to leave the country, she must face the one thing she cannot survive again-saying goodbye and leaving her home. Yet within minutes of her world shattering, she meets a man with the power to piece it back together. After finishing his tour of duty in Iraq, Aiden Hale traded battlefields for boardrooms, becoming one of the most successful venture capitalists in the nation. But all his wealth can't buy him reprieve from the horrific memories of war. The only thing that gives him peace is a painting of Elisa. Drawn together by their invisible wounds, they begin a passionate affair as they race against the clock to defy their pasts-and fight for their future. Earlier versions of this book were posted on the author's blog under the titles of The Master's Muse and 30 Nights of Snow, using the pen name Ani Surnois, and the book has since been extensively edited.

Download or read book Star Wars Imperial Commando 501st written by Karen Traviss and published by Del Rey. This book was released on 2024-06-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Clone Wars are over, but for those with reason to run from the new galactic Empire, the battle to survive has only just begun. . . . The Jedi have been decimated in the Great Purge, and the Republic has fallen. Now the former Republic Commandos-the galaxy's finest special forces troops, cloned from Jango Fett-find themselves on opposing sides and in very different armor. Some have deserted and fled to Mandalore with the mercenaries, renegade clone troopers, and rogue Jedi who make up Kal Skirata's ragtag resistance to Imperial occupation. Others-including men from Delta and Omega squads-now serve as Imperial Commandos, a black ops unit within Vader's own 501st Legion, tasked to hunt down fugitive Jedi and clone deserters. For Darman, grieving for his Jedi wife and separated from his son, it's an agonizing test of loyalty. But he's not the only one who'll be forced to test the ties of brotherhood. On Mandalore, clone deserters and the planet's own natives, who have no love for the Jedi, will have their most cherished beliefs challenged. In the savage new galactic order, old feuds may have to be set aside to unite against a far bigger threat, and nobody can take old loyalties for granted.

Download or read book The Strange Secret of William Delbert Gann written by Paolo Anders and published by . This book was released on 2018-08-23 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of an investment swindle from one hundred years ago.William Delbert Gann was a stockbroker and confidence trickster who died in Brooklyn in 1955. I have not been able to find any evidence that he ever traded for his own profit. In his promotional literature he claimed that he was not a broker and that he only looked after the interests of his private clients, but the New York Times says otherwise.He was highly intelligent and when his book The Tunnel Thru The Air was published in 1927, he had, as you will see, some knowledge about the Phoenicians and the Greeks and about the technique of building wooden ships. He was also well established in his own business in Wall Street. All these things are relevant. To understand the works of this man one must get behind his eyes and see into his soul.He claimed to be a scientist, but his intelligence was for business and for literature. He had an astonishing ability to invent new metaphors for commonplace things. Figures of speech such as metaphors, similes and synonyms are the essence of poetry, and Mr. Gann seemed to have a liking for poetry, as was shown in one of his books by many excerpts from the works of American poets. However, the poems in the book also contained coded references to the time at which the price of a security can alter. Because such periods were not exclusively for strictly alternating tops and bottoms they cannot be identified by conventional cycle discovery methods.Part of the task of this book is to unravel these literary devices and show what he did mean. His skill at obfuscation was very great, yet within his writing he did reveal one method of value - nothing that will make you one thousand per cent profit in one month, as a well known magazine article dishonestly claimed for him, but just one method of utility.I promise you that you will puzzle over his books and 'courses' and will struggle to see anything of value. It is because all his works used metaphors which cannot be taken literally. He did not use the motion of the planets and neither did he plot one-by-one charts for himself. These last were much touted methods of his. He claimed that other people had said of him that "This man can make a fortune from reading the ticker tape alone." However, I have not been able to find any proof that he ever indulged in proprietary trading.The way he disguised the real nature of his alleged trading methods is extraordinary. He is as obscure as James Joyce and as imaginative. How he did it will be exposed in full.SOME REVIEWSThis man has solved all the enigmas which William Gann posed - the periodic table, the 'cycles' which he used, the 50% rule and his 'use' of astrology. But, as he himself says, "Do not forget the sub-title of this book - An Account of a Stock Market Scam. The ability to fully understand William Gann will not make one rich."F. M. Snodgrass in The Snodgrass PapersJust brilliant! What other book on finance would mention J. B. Priestly, James Joyce, The Maltese Falcon, James Stewart, Oscar Wilde, Thomas Edison, H. G. Wells, Eddington and Einstein? And that is just for starters and all of it is relevant.William BloggsGet it at once. It is the only book on finance that you will need. It is about finance and it is about life.Mustafa KamelHis thought experiment on pensions is worth fifty times the price of the book.Kofe N. Kroke
