Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War! Here is a word that erupts into the mind and sets the heart afire. And into that cardiogenic blaze tumble more words to encourage and sustain it: cruelty; love; hate; lust; murder; madness....In 1910 the Mexican Revolution raced across the face of the continent like a holocaust, driving every living thing before it, and most of those it drove, it overtook and destroyed. Those it could not destroy, or would not, it made mutant, their descendents capable of innocence, or amnesia; but it formed in their hearts, nevertheless, the language of future betrayels: the crude and familiar cartage of desperate human conflict. Here is a story of two men and a woman whom war could not destroy: Rodolfo Villalobos, a giant Yaqui Colonel of artillery in Pancho Villa's famed Division del Norte; Senorita Lucy Jurado, a beautiful Creol lady born to the Spanish aristocracy, and Lewis Flintoff Files, a demented, treasonous American sailor who escaped Saigon to fire the last shot of the Mexican Civil War. The first two characters depicted here were instrumental in the assassination of General Francisco Villa. The last one avenged him.

Download or read book The Gum Chewing Rattler written by Joe Hayes and published by Cinco Puntos Press. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Respected raconteur Joe Hayes is built for tall tales—he’s got the world’s longest legs! And Joe—who travels all over the United States telling stories to kids—says that The Gum-Chewing Rattler is the perfect tall tale for kids because it combines so many familiar experiences—chewing lots of bubblegum, getting in trouble in school, driving your mom crazy—with the wild, impossible claim that a certain rattlesnake chewed gum and blew a bubble with it. Couple that with kids’ natural fascination with poisonous snakes, and The Gum-Chewing Rattler turns out to be one of Joe’s most requested stories. Joe’s been telling this wild story for years, since before 1980, when he took those long legs of his out on the road. But now, that old gum-chewer is here for the first time in a picture book with full-color illustrations by Antonio Castro L. Here’s how Joe’s story goes: When Joe was a boy, he chewed lots of bubblegum, his mom got so mad because the gum in his shirt pocket made a terrible mess in the wash! But this wad of bubblegum just happened to save Joe from a rattlesnake’s fangs! Really!! Don’t worry—his mother didn’t believe the story either.
