Book Bowie Knife Fights  Fighters and Fighting Techniques

Download or read book Bowie Knife Fights Fighters and Fighting Techniques written by Paul Kirchner and published by Paladin Press. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1827, James Bowie carved his way into American history at the Sandbar Fight, and soon every fighting man of the South and West had to have a knife like his. The bowie knife could cut like a razor, chop like a cleaver, and stab like a sword, and many considered it deadlier than a pistol at close range. So great was the dread it inspired that by 1838 it was banned in several states—a ban that did little to stanch the flow of blood. Bowie's story is well known, but what of the other cutters and stabbers of his day? Gunfighters have long been celebrated, but those who fought with the bowie knife have been largely ignored—until now. Unearthing accounts from memoirs, court records, regional histories, and newspaper archives, Paul Kirchner, author of the Paladin bestsellers The Deadliest Men and More of the Deadliest Men Who Ever Lived , presents their stories for the first time in Bowie Knife Fights, Fighters, and Fighting Techniques. Kirchner identifies and profiles the four greatest bowie knife fighters of history, as well as numerous other wielders of the blade. He details the weapon's use in the Texas War of Independence, the Mormon exodus, the Mexican War, the slave system, the Gold Rush, Bleeding Kansas, the Civil War, the Lincoln assassination, the Indian Wars, and the Western frontier. The book describes bowie knife fighting tricks and techniques and provides numerous accounts of knife-against-knife and knife-against-gun encounters. Its final chapter surveys the continued use of the bowie and other fighting knives in modern warfare.

  • Author : Elizabeth Gilbert
  • Publisher : Penguin
  • Release : 2003-05-27
  • ISBN : 0142002836
  • Pages : 290 pages

Download or read book The Last American Man written by Elizabeth Gilbert and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2003-05-27 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the National Book Award From the New York Times bestselling author of Eat Pray Love, Big Magic and City of Girls comes a riveting exploration of manhood and all its complicated meanings through the portrait of an American Mountain Man. In this rousing examination of contemporary American male identity, acclaimed author and journalist Elizabeth Gilbert explores the fascinating true story of Eustace Conway. In 1977, at the age of seventeen, Conway left his family's comfortable suburban home to move to the Appalachian Mountains. For more than two decades he has lived there, making fire with sticks, wearing skins from animals he has trapped, and trying to convince Americans to give up their materialistic lifestyles and return with him back to nature. To Gilbert, Conway's mythical character challenges all our assumptions about what it is to be a modern man in America; he is a symbol of much we feel how our men should be, but rarely are.

Book The Lincoln Assassination

    Book Details:
  • Author : William C. Edwards
  • Publisher : University of Illinois Press
  • Release : 2010-10-01
  • ISBN : 0252091078
  • Pages : 1490 pages

Download or read book The Lincoln Assassination written by William C. Edwards and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 1490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On April 22, 1865, Brevet Colonel H. L. Burnett was assigned to head the investigation into the murder of President Abraham Lincoln and the attempted murder of Secretary of State William H. Seward. Burnett orchestrated the collection of thousands of documents for the Military Commission’s trial of the conspirators. This deep archive of documentary evidence--consisting of letters, depositions, eyewitness accounts, investigative reports, and other documents--provides invaluable insight into the historical, cultural, and judicial context of the investigation. Only a fraction of the information presented in these documents ever made its way into the trial, and most of it has never been readily accessible. By presenting an annotated and indexed transcription of these documents, this volume offers significant new access to information on the events surrounding the assassination and a vast new store of social and political history of the Civil War era. “With tears in my eyes I think it your duty to hang every rebel caught. I feel as bad as if was my own mother or father & will be one to volunteer to try & shoot every Southern man. May God have mercy on the man’s soul that done such a deed. With much Respect for our Country, I remain Weeping” --Anonymous letter, New York, April 15, 1865 “I know Booth. He was in the habit of coming to my place to shoot. . . . He shot well, and practiced to shoot with accuracy in every possible position. . . . He was a quick shot; always silent, reticent.” --Deposition of Benjamin Barker, Pistol Gallery proprietor

  • ISBN : 9781585002627
  • Pages : 116 pages

Download or read book A Bowie Primer written by F. R. Winchell and published by . This book was released on 1997-12 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scandalous Lessons is based on the true story of James "Mike" Deel, the husband of a middle school teacher convicted of inappropriate behavior with a minor. The story takes you from the discovery of something that no husband wants to find out his wife is cheating on him. Even worse, the other man is a thirteen year old boy, who happens to be a student in her class. With the epidemic of female teachers becoming sexually involved with their students spreading across the United States, the question of how the families and spouses learn the horrible truth, how they deal with it, and what their lives become in the wake has yet to be told from this point of view. James, having the misfortune of being the one to discover his wife's crime, must deal with the anger he harbors towards her, the ridicule of the town he grew up in, and the mixture of emotions that come from trying to sort out what to do next. Scandalous Lessons deals with a man's conflict of feeling loyalty to the woman he took vows with and the desire to honor those vows even in the face of adversity. It is about the betrayal of that loyalty and how he must come to grips with the fact that the one who commits the crime is not the only one who suffers the punishment.
