Book excerpt: This is the life story of Charlotte Anne Gurganus, a down east North Carolina girl, who grew up on Rattlesnake Island where there were no neighbors, friends or other children. She found life very different on the other side of the river when she entered first grade and spent the next 12 years in a struggle to reconcile herself and her very different family to the lives she encountered in the town of Meadow View. Finally leaving both the island and the town behind, vowing she would never go back there to live, she began to make a different life for herself, a life with love and normalcy. Then tragedy came and she returned to the town she hated. Reconciled to the path she seemed destined to walk, she forged a life that seemed honorable and sustainable, a life that brought love to her, at last, from a most surprising source.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sixteen-Year-Old Celstia spends every summer with her family at the elite resort at Lake Conemaugh, a shimmering Allegheny Mountain reservoir held in place by an earthen dam. Tired of the society crowd, Celestia prefers to swim and fish with Peter, the hotel’s hired boy. It’s a friendship she must keep secret, and when companionship turns to romance, it’s a love that could get Celestia disowned. These affairs of the heart become all the more wrenching on a single, tragic day in May, 1889. After days of heavy rain, the dam fails, unleashing 20 million tons of water onto Johnstown, Pennsylvania, in the valley below. The town where Peter lives with his father. The town where Celestia has just arrived to join him. This searing novel in poems explores a cross-class romance—and a tragic event in U. S. history.
Download or read book Three Rivers written by Dan Lee and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-03-09 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kentucky is richly blessed with rivers. This book tells the stories of three of the most beautiful and historic: the Rolling Fork, the Nolin, and the Rough. Each is an unpredictable force of nature flowing through a land that varies from wide, sunny meadows to dark, rock-bound hollows.Chapters describe the people who lived in the river valleys, including pioneers, frontier preachers, a future president, cave explorers, Confederate and Union soldiers, desperate killers, hardscrabble farmers, and inspired visionaries. Sometimes they were wasteful and violent and vain; at other times they were inventive and graceful and kind. Their descendants realized that survival had come to mean something new: living in harmony with the land and the rivers.

Download or read book Tres Ritos written by Gary Cozzens and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015-03-02 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tres Ritos was first settled by the Jornada Mogollon in AD 900, and these ancient farmers left their presence in the form of more than twenty-one thousand petroglyphs along a mile-long ridge. The valley was visited by Spanish explorers in the 1600s and became the homeland of the Mescalero Apaches about that same time. Patrick Coghlan, the "Cattle King of Tularosa," built a major ranch here with his cattle being rustled and sold to him by none other than Billy the Kid. Susan McSween Barber, the widow of Alexander McSween of Lincoln County War fame, prospered here as the "Cattle Queen of New Mexico." Albert Fall, infamous for his participation in the Teapot Dome Scandal, owned Coghlan's ranch and much more. Join local historian Gary Cozzens as he tells the story of Tres Ritos--a small but intriguing place in New Mexico history.
