Book excerpt: Between 1933 and 1939, the FBI pursued an aggressive, highly publicized nationwide campaign against a succession of Depression era "public enemies," including John Dillinger, George "Baby Face" Nelson, Charles Arthur "Pretty Boy" Floyd, George "Machine Gun Kelly" Barnes, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, and the Ma Barker Gang. Bureau Director J. Edgar Hoover's successes in this crusade made him the hero of law and order in the public mind. This historical analysis reveals the agency's often illegal tactics, including torture, frame-ups, and summary executions--later expanded throughout Hoover's 48-year reign in Washington, D.C., and exposed only after his death (some say murder) in 1972.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Irish O'Malley Gang represented the final installment of America's great 1930s depression-era "Super Gangs" following in the footsteps of both the John Dillinger and "Ma" Barker/Karpis Gangs. The final version of the outlaw band was the result of the merging of two separate and unique criminal enterprises, one deriving from a rural environment, the second urban in nature. Their story involved a small cadre of hard-nosed underworld hoodlums joined by an army of thrill-starved gangster molls and criminal associates, which eventually evolved into a loosely-knit organization. It's members drifted across the Midwest committing a national headline grabbing kidnapping and several brutal murders as well as looting a dozen banks. Law enforcement dubbed the lawless band the most highly disciplined and efficient of the day. Their bank raids were well-planned and conducted in precise clockwork fashion. Not until the final months of the group's existence did investigators, including J. Edger Hoover's vaunted G-Men, connect the dots and conclude a single group initially dubbed "The Midwest Bank Robbers" was behind the epidemic of bank heists. On realizing this fact, Hoover's boys began tracking the group like the hound and the hare. But, track them they did and with deadly efficiency.

Download or read book Fading Away written by Charles L. Schwabe and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fall of 1961, upon entering Oklahoma State University's mandatory two year basic ROTC program, eighteen-year-old Charles L. Schwabe encountered the U.S. Army for the first time. At a time when U.S. involvement in and public awareness of Vietnam were minimal, President Kennedy challenged the author's generation: “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” Soon convinced that assisting the new nation of South Vietnam resist the spread of communism was an honorable, worthwhile national and personal goal, the author responded to the challenge by choosing military service.With pride and enthusiasm, he completed studies at OSU and, accompanied by his bride, entered active duty in 1965, trained and served as an airborne infantry lieutenant and then volunteered to serve in Vietnam. January,1967, marked the beginning of twenty months in that country as an infantry officer, first as an adviser to the Army of the Republic of Vietnam, later as staff officer and company commander with 3d Brigade, 82d Airborne Division. The sequence of helping Vietnam fight its war and thereafter participating in what became the American war gives this memoir a unique perspective of the armies of both nations and their soldiers.From the 1964 Tonkin Gulf Resolution to the final flight of the last American from the embassy roof in Saigon in 1975, this unassuming personal memoir is the story of all Oklahomans and Americans who answered the call of duty, served faithfully if not heroically and lived to see their service disrespected by some of their countrymen during frenzied protest against U.S. policy. Looking back after nearly half a century has removed some of the sharp edges of emotion gives a measure of clarity to the lasting effect war has on survivors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author’s preface: “This book was conceived four years ago, almost to the day, at a time when I was teaching fiddle and mandolin in New York City. It was my idea then, with my students in mind, to compile a book of the most often played, most important and most interesting fiddle tunes from the various Celtic and North American traditions. The tunes were chosen by cataloging a large number of recordings by tune title. A tally was taken to find out which had been recorded most often. This established a foundation of material that could not be left out. To this list I added the names of other pieces which had not been recorded as frequently, but which I knew were played regularly and with respect. I admit to sprinkling the collection with a few lesser known tunes which happen to be personal favorites, but I am sure they will hold their own when placed next to the old war horses of the fiddler’s repertoire. . . . Although I started out with my students in mind this book has turned out to be the book that I’ve always wanted and I hope that it will serve the advanced player as well as the beginner.”

Download or read book Bigamy and Bloodshed written by Larry E. Wood and published by True Crime History. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emma Molloy--temperance revivalist, prohibitionist, and accessory to murder In the summer of 1885, ex-convict George Graham bigamously married Cora Lee, foster daughter of nationally known temperance revivalist Emma Molloy, and the three took up residence together on the Molloy farm near Springfield, Missouri. When the body of Graham's first wife, Sarah, was found at the bottom of an abandoned well on the Molloy farm early the next year, Graham was charged with murder, and Cora and Emma were implicated as accessories. As Larry E. Wood notes, this sensational story made headlines across the country and threatened Mrs. Molloy's career as a prominent evangelist and temperance revivalist. Although Graham confessed, taking sole blame for the murder, he inflamed the scandal surrounding Emma Molloy when he claimed that he'd carried on a passionate affair with her while simultaneously courting her foster daughter. When Graham was lynched by a mob before he could come to trial, critics of Mrs. Molloy even suggested that she and her friends in the temperance movement had instigated the hanging to silence him. Although Cora Lee was eventually acquitted of being an accomplice in Sarah Graham's murder and the charges against Emma Molloy were subsequently dropped, many of Mrs. Molloy's detractors remained convinced that she was, at the least, a very indiscreet woman. Her reputation was irreparably tarnished, and she never fully recovered her status as one of the country's most noted female orators.
