Download or read book Around Haledon written by Angelica M. Santomauro and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By 1908, when Haledon became independent from Manchester Township, thousands of southern and eastern European immigrants settled in the borough and its surrounding area. Immigrants found work in textile mills, machine shops, and other industries located in proximity to the city of Paterson and the Passaic River and its mighty Great Falls. Land promoters spurred home building in Haledon, a streetcar suburb. In 1913, nearly 25,000 workers went on strike, demanding an eight-hour workday. During the six-month strike, Haledon became the workers' haven for free speech and assembly as they demanded safer workplaces, a living wage, and an end to child labor. Archival photographs, documents, and postcards from 1890 to 1930 share the story of workers and immigrants who fought for the workplace benefits widely enjoyed by Americans today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Murder Mystery! Detective series! Crime-drama! Homicide Detective Lyle Odell returns once again in a new adventure! In fictional and very gritty, Mohawk City in upstate New York, the respected and prominent, intellectual, and popular educator, Doctor Rochester Gilding, is the victim of a horrific homicide. In his own home, on a seemingly calm and placid autumn Saturday afternoon, a brutal killer slashes his throat, and then, in a fit of rage, plunges a military knife into the skull of Doctor Gilding. To offer up the ultimate challenge to Detective Lyle Odell, the victim lived a hidden life. On the surface, Doctor Rochester Gilding was wealthy, popular, intellectual, professional, handsome, and charismatic, but when Lyle Odell begins to poke around in the victim’s life, he finds that Doctor Gilding lived a hidden life full of darkness and questionable behavior. Since Doctor Gilding lived in a tight-knit and crowded community of townhouses, and he apparently offended everyone equally, the potential suspects are limitless. Homicide Detective Lyle Odell assembles his elite crime-fighting team to track down the ruthless killer. With the aid of Sergeant George Grundy, Captain Connor Moore, Crime Scene Investigation genius, Sergeant Oliver Crump, and with newly recruited Officer Miles Bradford and with the strategic addition of a few brave civilians, Odell goes on the hunt to bring the killer to justice before he can kill once again. When the initial trail leads to a series of dead-end of clues, Detective Odell moves to the offensive in order to lure the killer out of his lair. That move takes a tragic twist, as Odell’s best friend and crime-fighting companion, the faithful Patrol Sergeant George Grundy, displays his heroism in the heat of battle and it has tragic results. Amid tragedy, a driven and focused, Homicide Detective Lyle Odell will stop at nothing to bring the killer to justice. This Detective Lyle Odell adventure has everything a crime-drama reader could want in a detective novel; a thrilling and complicated storyline, beautiful women, multiple suspects and plotlines and Detective Odell and the team, amongst the murder and mayhem, while poking around for mysterious clues. Tragedy! Suspense! Thrills! Plucked out of the pages of the novel “O'Malley” by his creator, Homicide Detective Lyle Odell proved to be a hugely popular character with readers. In “O’Malley,” the good detective helps the principal character solve the mysteries of his past and the brutal homicide of a fellow police officer. The character proved to so popular with readers that Paul John Hausleben created a series of novels starring the eccentric, systematic, hard-drinking, gumshoe Homicide Detective Lyle Odell. Here in this latest Detective Lyle Odell novel, the author weaves an exciting murder mystery and crime drama mixed with his usual unforgettable characters, and proves once again why Odell’s creator earned the title of “The Master Storyteller.” Grab your copy today!

Download or read book The Miracle Tree written by Paul John Hausleben and published by God Bless the Keg Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2023-04-22 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Miracle Tree is the fifth book in the series of The Adventures of Harry and Paul. The novel contains deep religious tones with insight and influences of the Lutheran Church in America. It is a humorous, yet poignant and heartwarming novel, based upon the continuing adventures of the author's two famous characters, Harry M. Redmond Junior and his longtime friend, Lutheran Pastor Paul John Henson. Now grown into manhood, The Miracle Tree finds our two friends; deeply involved in their own individual lives, careers, and relationships, but still retaining that special friendship and bond, in which they have enjoyed for many years. In The Miracle Tree, Harry and Paul face their greatest challenge ever. It is a challenge, which shakes the very foundation of their lives, faith, and their own relationship. Already a victim of tragedy when his first wife passed away after a horrific and valiant battle with cancer, when tragedy looms once again, Harry turns to his best friend, now a Lutheran pastor for help. Harry turns to the one person that he believes in more than anyone this side of Heaven in order to perform a miracle. A miracle of faith, a miracle of belief, and a miracle that right now seems impossible. Full of self-doubts, yet committed, and determined, Pastor Paul combines his love for his friend and their families with raw emotion, his deep religious faith, and intense prayer to find the answer and the miracle that they all require. Amongst the triumph and tragedy and the ultimate joy of this remarkable story, the author retains the trademark humor that is consistent with all the Adventures of Harry and Paul, with one of his famous humorous chapters, “The Quest for Peppermint Ice Cream” ranking as one of the author’s top humorous writing moments. To quote the author’s preface for The Miracle Tree, “Those readers who are very religious in their beliefs will interpret The Miracle Tree to be a religious fantasy book. Those readers, who are not religious, will see it in their own way, as a book about simple faith, strange coincidences, trust, and support between close friends, husband and wife, and families. They will see it as a book that displays how people who love and support one another will always survive, no matter what happens. I will leave it to the individual readers to enjoy in their own manner.” Come along on another wonderful Harry and Paul adventure, as told by the master storyteller, Mr. Paul John Hausleben.

Download or read book Immigrants in the Lands of Promise written by Samuel L. Baily and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most studies of immigration to the New World have focused on the United States. Samuel L. Baily's eagerly awaited book broadens that perspective through a comparative analysis of Italian immigrants to Buenos Aires and New York City before World War I. It is one of the few works to trace Italians from their villages of origin to different destinations abroad. Baily examines the adjustment of Italians in the two cities, comparing such factors as employment opportunities, skill levels, pace of migration, degree of prejudice, and development of the Italian community. Of the two destinations, Buenos Aires offered Italians more extensive opportunities, and those who elected to move there tended to have the appropriate education or training to succeed. These immigrants, who adjusted more rapidly than their North American counterparts, adopted a long-term strategy of investing savings in their New World home. In New York, in contrast, the immigrants found fewer skilled and white-collar jobs, more competition from previous immigrant groups, greater discrimination, and a less supportive Italian enclave. As a result, rather than put down roots, many sought to earn money as rapidly as possible and send their earnings back to family in Italy. Baily views the migration process as a global phenomenon. Building on his richly documented case studies, the author briefly examines Italian communities in San Francisco, Toronto, and Sao Paulo. He establishes a continuum of immigrant adjustment in urban settings, creating a landmark study in both immigration and comparative history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Home for the holidays! The master storyteller, Mr. Paul John Hausleben, returns once more to the Christmas season with a masterful collection of classic stories. This collection consists of novellas and novelettes with each story revolving around the central theme of returning home for Christmas. They utilize Christmas and the holiday season as a setting and they perfectly capture the spirit and magic of the holidays. Christmas invokes prominent emotions, with both happiness and sadness touching our soul; however, of all the many wonderful aspects of the Christmas season, there is nothing quite as special as when a loved one returns home for Christmas. Especially so if the loved one has been away for a long amount of time. Sometimes, it is not a physical return home, but it is a return within the person’s mind. Paul John Hausleben's masterful play with our emotions often causes the plots and the emotions to run deep in these stories and encompass both the joy and the heartbreak of that most wonderful time of the year. However, in typical PJH fashion, he leaves the reader with a collection of stories that stoke your own memories of holidays of your own past and stories that remain in your mind forever.

Mr. Hausleben mixes the Flashes with Sparks, which are quotes of wisdom and random observations of life, and then as he did in Flash One, he adds two more previously unreleased short stories (Shorts) from a collection titled, Where We Used to Live as the anchor stories. Will there be a Flash Three? The author leaves it to conjecture, but in the meantime, please don’t miss Flash Two!

Download or read book My American Revolution written by Robert Sullivan and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2012-09-04 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans tend to think of the Revolution as a Massachusetts-based event orchestrated by Virginians, but in fact the war took place mostly in the Middle Colonies—in New York and New Jersey and the parts of Pennsylvania that on a clear day you can almost see from the Empire State Building. In My American Revolution, Robert Sullivan delves into this first Middle America, digging for a glorious, heroic part of the past in the urban, suburban, and sometimes even rural landscape of today. And there are great adventures along the way: Sullivan investigates the true history of the crossing of the Delaware, its down-home reenactment each year for the past half a century, and—toward the end of a personal odyssey that involves camping in New Jersey backyards, hiking through lost "mountains," and eventually some physical therapy—he evacuates illegally from Brooklyn to Manhattan by handmade boat. He recounts a Brooklyn historian's failed attempt to memorialize a colonial Maryland regiment; a tattoo artist's more successful use of a colonial submarine, which resulted in his 2007 arrest by the New York City police and the FBI; and the life of Philip Freneau, the first (and not great) poet of American independence, who died in a swamp in the snow. Last but not least, along New York harbor, Sullivan re-creates an ancient signal beacon. Like an almanac, My American Revolution moves through the calendar of American independence, considering the weather and the tides, the harbor and the estuary and the yearly return of the stars as salient factors in the war for independence. In this fiercely individual and often hilarious journey to make our revolution his, he shows us how alive our own history is, right under our noses.
