Book excerpt: Like many Americans, Ricky Vogt was searching for a career and purpose during the fallout from America's 2008 economic implosion. At the same time the nation was searching to resolve energy, environmental, and economic problems within a dysfunctional political system. This story explains how Vogt joined his fellow Americans as they fought amongst themselves in search of a better vision. He questions how community resolves the tension between intolerance and personal liberty; between the selfishness of trickle-down economics and the ideals of spirituality and our founding documents promoting the common good. The book depicts Vogt's evolving search for better solutions and a new way forward.

Book excerpt: Once Upon The Water is a series of adventures that take you fishing along with the author from Canada to Mexico with numerous stops closer to Mike Yurks home in the upper Mid West. But the adventures are more than travels to faraway places and catching fish. They are memories shared with friends and family that make them. There are recollections of fishing over the years with a cousin, taking Mikes 82 year old mother fishing, a tribute to the grandfather who taught Mike how to fish, and reminiscences of his father while fishing his fathers favorite trout stream. Adventures with his son and sons-in-law illustrate the special relationships formed and crazy antics occurring while fishing together. A lazy day of fishing on a hot summer day with Mikes wife evoke the joys of when the living is easy. There are fishing tales from Alabama in an email from England and a testimonial to a buddy who travels from Germany to fish in America. Join Mike and long time friends as they fish when it is twenty below zero on a winter day in northern Minnesota, a trip when they catch walleyes from a remote lake in Canada and on another adventure where they fish for smallmouth bass that are as big as footballs. Old bonds are rekindled with family and friends during an annual gathering where the champagne and memories flow. An old and new friend fish together in Key West and a new fishing buddy is found due to a chance encounter on the way to Mexico. Fishing is an adventure not because of where you are or what you catch but because of the people who share it with you. It all starts once upon the water.

Download or read book North Woods River written by Eileen M. McMahon and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2009-10-20 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The St. Croix River, the free-flowing boundary between Wisconsin and Minnesota, is a federally protected National Scenic Riverway. The area’s first recorded human inhabitants were the Dakota Indians, whose lands were transformed by fur trade empires and the loggers who called it the “river of pine.” A patchwork of farms, cultivated by immigrants from many countries, followed the cutover forests. Today, the St. Croix River Valley is a tourist haven in the land of sky-blue waters and a peaceful escape for residents of the bustling Minneapolis–St. Paul metropolitan region. North Woods River is a thoughtful biography of the river over the course of more than three hundred years. Eileen McMahon and Theodore Karamanski track the river’s social and environmental transformation as newcomers changed the river basin and, in turn, were changed by it. The history of the St. Croix revealed here offers larger lessons about the future management of beautiful and fragile wild waters.

Book excerpt: "Which two characters back in the early 'Sixties would be the least likely to rescue kidnap victims, run off cowboys, outsmart armed guards, and confront racism?" Dakota Duval grows up limited on the South Side of Chicago--a black youth with no place to go. Thanks to his uncle, he travels to Idaho, meets his Shoshone family on the reservation and learns his tribal heritage. But he wants freedom and enlists in an Air Force Mobile Weather Squadron. Quanah Winnemucca had no place to go as a girl on the Moapa Indian Reservation in Nevada. She is inspired by her father Bronco with bedtime stories of Paiute tribal ancestors. At last his family of five leaves the reservation and moves to a wild mustang ranch in Warm Springs. Quanah earns and trains her first mustang at age twelve and wins rodeo championships all around the state. One night in Tonopah, Quanah meets Dakota, an Upper-Winds Operator for nuclear detonations at the nearby Nevada Test Site. She is taken with his admiration of wild mustangs. He is fascinated by the unique combination of her outer Native American beauty and her inner Indian Scout. Quanah loves her life and wants to share it. Training Dakota as a mustang man is a daunting daily task. At midnight Bronco discovers his favorite stallion Nightwind has been stolen, and sets out to track him, only to be shot. Both disappear. Quanah must transform from an innocent native cowgirl on the family's mustang ranch, to a commando in her father's decorated World War II Squadron. Against all odds, Quanah pulls Dakota into the exhausting search for her father, only to find three of her underage friends are held hostages by armed guards in nearby brothels. What possible chance of success can she have? And with racists and armed guards set to drive him, the mustangs, and the Paiutes out of Nevada or into prison, what possible chance does Dakota have?

When an opening occurs for a new punter, he is asked his opinion on the skills of Hall-of-Famer Andy Mortenson's grandchild, Alix Lindstrom. Not only is Alix a superb punter, she is also undeniably a tall, strong woman. For Tom, it's love the first time she removes her helmet, shakes out her blonde hair and gazes at him with her fjord-blue eyes. Alix regards herself as an overly big, clunky female jock who must prove her ability to every man on the team. For years, she has adored Tom from afar. Unfortunately, she isn’t very good at flirting or making her desires known. As Tom helps her integrate with the Sinners, her feelings grow. When Alix proves to be his equal in talent and gets roughed in a few plays, his mentoring and over-protectiveness prove his thoughts are in line with hers. But she doesn't want to be coddled. Can she establish her own identity between the goal posts while scoring touchdowns with him in private?
