This book was released on 2018-03-27 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behind the scenes tales of San Francisco's legendary Iron Horse restaurant, as told from the horse's mouth. After her stint in France (I Found My Tomorrow in Paris), Marilyn settles in San Francisco where she eventually meets and marries Leo Giorgetti, the charismatic owner of the Iron Horse from 1954 to 1973. This is the humorous and heartfelt story of Leo and the birth of "The Horse" as seen through "The Horse's" eyes. "From the Horse's Mouth" is a slice-of-life peek into a bygone era when the martini was the drink of the day and hats and white gloves where de'rigeur for the ladies. We rub elbows with the likes of Joe DiMaggio and the famous sports figures of the day and join in the pulsing energy of the standing-room-only crowds. Spontaneous visits from celebrities such as Liberace, Sammy Davis Jr, Lou Rawls or Maria Callas, as she serves salad to the customers, are the norm.

Book excerpt: This book presents a listing of two hundred and sixty seven engines delivered to twenty-six American railroads by Ross Winans (1796-1877) of Baltimore, Maryland, during the period 1843 through 1863. It is partially derived from a transcription of his Memorandum of Engines from his personal pocket notebook, in the possession of the Maryland Historical Society, Baltimore.1 The material here supplements, corrects, and updates previously published rosters of the output of Winans' deliveries. It is not necessarily a complete, definitive, nor comprehensive roster of the output of Winans' shops. It should be noted that not all of the delivered engines were accepted, and that in some cases, the engines were returned and sold to other roads. Thus, there is some duplication in the list which we attempted to resolve by cross-checking rosters and primary source

Download or read book An American Passion written by Len Blanchard and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2001-09 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An historical narrative of epic scope, An American Passion is a story of adventure, political intrigue, war, and romance set on the Northern Plains during the last several decades of the Nineteenth Century. While faithfully adhering to the sketchy and often contradictory historical record, the epic offers a vivid, imaginatively realized account of the life of the mysterious Crazy Horse, legendary war chief of the Lakota Sioux. A man who typically let his actions do his speaking for him and who died young, assassinated at the hands of the U.S. Government in his mid-thirties, Crazy Horse's story is related by five different narrators. An American Passion opens with a prologue spoken by the Missouri River, the mighty river of the Great Plains. With the historical context established, Crazy Horse's life, from his birth to his death little more than a year following his great victory over George Armstrong Custer at the Little Big Horn, is related retrospectively by his grieving father Worm, a notable medicine man of the tribe. The net major section of the epic is narrated by the woman for whom Crazy Horse risked his life and the welfare of his people. Black Buffalo Woman's tale is a tragedy in the vein of Romeo and Juliet's. Unlike the story of Shakespeare's fallen lovers, however, the love story of Crazy Horse and Black Buffalo Woman has never been related in its full, gripping complexity as it is in An American Passion. Amazingly, after his nearly fatal attempt to take Black Buffalo Woman as his wife Crazy Horse went on to marry, and the third major narration of An American Passion is that of Black Shawl, his fiercely loyal and devoted widow and the mother of his only known child. Telling her story at about the time Sitting Bull was returning to the reservation after having been released from prison by the U.S. Government, a bitter but not a hopeless woman, Black Shawl focuses on the early death of her daughter by Crazy Horse and on her final days in captivity with Crazy Horse. The epic concludes with the account of He Dog, a loyal friend of Crazy Horse, having fought beside him throughout his days as the greatest warrior among the Sioux. He Dog lived to be nearly a hundred years old and served as a respected judge in the Indian courts on the reservation. Told from the vantage point of 1910, some 33 years after the killing of Crazy Horse, He Dog's narration is largely a tribute to his friend, a consideration of the differences in character and temperament between himself and Crazy Horse, and an elegy to what might have been and, perhaps, may some day yet be. In the depth and breadth of its portrayal of major figures in Crazy Horse's life who are little more than footnotes in the historical record, and in the insight it offers into the heart and mind of a great and complicated man, a man who lived and died, ultimately, as an enigma even to the people who revered (and revere) him, An American Passion is a unique, emotionally engaging account of the final days of the resistance of the Native Americans of the Northern Plains to that juggernaut of forces which, having achieved its objective, destroyed a culture, though not a people.
