Book excerpt: 1915: Ben Retallick is asked by a War Office friend to provide two traction engines for a secret expedition attempting to take two gunboats overland from Cape Town to Lake Tanganyika - more than 3,000 miles - to wrest control of the lake from the Germans. He sends engines with young Ruddlemoor as the driver, who meets a Portuguese East African nurse and takes her side against a group of white racist south Africans. Meanwhile Antonia St Anna is influential in having Ben released, when he is arrested on circumstantial evidence provided by a business rival and accused of being pro-German. In Brothers in War, E. V. Thompson returns to his acclaimed Retallick saga, immersing the family in the upheaval of the First World War and, through them, creating a captivating tale of love and war, loyalty and betrayal, loss and adventure that weaves its way from Cornwall to the uncharted territory of the depths of Africa - and an eventful conclusion in Cornwall once more.

Download or read book The Imaginer of Memos written by Leo Farr and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2011-06 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Imaginer of Memos is an example of what I call ficlution: fic, the first three letters of fiction, and lution, the last two syllables of solution to form the word ficlution: A type of writing that presents a fictitious story that is meant to entertain and stimulate; but also, to present a real human problem, combining emotions with facts, and offering a possible solution to that problem. Here is the story of a man, who struggles to over come many handicaps, as a child and as an adult-as all humans in their own lives must do. Along the way he experiences love and triumph, pain and suffering, loneliness and friendship. Finally, he becomes aware of and he accepts a life long mission of faith: Memos. That mission is to fill in the details of the concept of Memos to form a new social unit through which mankind may ultimately find the meaning of life and the universe. Leo Farr is happily married and has five children and five grandchildren. He is presently retired from the State of California and living in Sacramento, California. Over the years, as a counselor and supervisor in the Department of Rehabilitation, as a coach for youth sports, and as an author he has shown a deep interest in the development of children and the personality of adults. He has written three other books: Stacey and her Lessons in Learning;Children, Dogs, and other Wild Things; and Ficlution of Coaching, Eating, and Mankind.
Download or read book Sam Patch the Famous Jumper written by Paul E. Johnson and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2004-06-16 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true history of a legendary American folk hero In the 1820s, a fellow named Sam Patch grew up in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, working there (when he wasn't drinking) as a mill hand for one of America's new textile companies. Sam made a name for himself one day by jumping seventy feet into the tumultuous waters below Pawtucket Falls. When in 1827 he repeated the stunt in Paterson, New Jersey, another mill town, an even larger audience gathered to cheer on the daredevil they would call the "Jersey Jumper." Inevitably, he went to Niagara Falls, where in 1829 he jumped not once but twice in front of thousands who had paid for a good view. The distinguished social historian Paul E. Johnson gives this deceptively simple story all its deserved richness, revealing in its characters and social settings a virtual microcosm of Jacksonian America. He also relates the real jumper to the mythic Sam Patch who turned up as a daring moral hero in the works of Hawthorne and Melville, in London plays and pantomimes, and in the spotlight with Davy Crockett-a Sam Patch who became the namesake of Andrew Jackson's favorite horse. In his shrewd and powerful analysis, Johnson casts new light on aspects of American society that we may have overlooked or underestimated. This is innovative American history at its best.
