Download or read book Captain Jack Helm written by Chuck Parsons and published by University of North Texas Press. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Captain Jack Helm, Chuck Parsons explores the life of John Jackson “Jack” Helm, whose main claim to fame has been that he was a victim of man-killer John Wesley Hardin. That he was, but he was much more in his violence-filled lifetime during Reconstruction Texas. First as a deputy sheriff, then county sheriff, and finally captain of the notorious Texas State Police, he developed a reputation as a violent and ruthless man-hunter. He arrested many suspected lawbreakers, but often his prisoner was killed before reaching a jail for “attempting to escape.” This horrific tendency ultimately brought about his downfall. Helm’s aggressive enforcement of his version of “law and order” resulted in a deadly confrontation with two of his enemies in the midst of the Sutton-Taylor Feud. “Captain Jack Helm is more than a fine gunfighter biography: it is a vivid statement about the murderous violence of Reconstruction in Texas.”—Bill O’Neal, State Historian of Texas

Download or read book Captain Jack written by James A. McQuiston and published by Father of the Yukon. This book was released on 2007 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So, why'd they call him Jack? Born Leroy Napoleon McQuesten, this Yukon legend was given the moniker of "Captain Jack" after his heroic rescue of ship and crew, on his first trip out on salt water, at the age of 22. A magnet for nicknames, he became known as Father of the Yukon, Father of Alaska, Golden Rule McQuesten, Prince of Goodfellows and a host of other affectionate titles. Famous authors, Jack London and Pierre Berton, were fans of Captain Jack and wrote extensively on him. Early Yukon explorers, Frederick Schwatka and William Ogilvie, did the same. Though captain of the very first steamboats on the Yukon, chief trader on the river, and grubstaker of thousands of gold miners, Jack's story has lain hidden in the pages of several dozen books and newspapers, until now. "Captain Jack: Father of the Yukon" is the definitive work on this true American hero and his adventures in the final frontier.

Book excerpt: Lovely young Lydia Languish resists all attempts by her guardians to select a suitable husband for her. Although she comes from a wealthy family, she considers it more romantic to choose a man from among the lower class. She pursues a relationship of passion and romance rather than seeking a fellow from her own social class who would inherit wealth and position. Her arrogant aunt, Mrs. Malaprop (famous for her use of misapplied terms known as "malapropisms"), strives by various means to force Lydia into submission. She is assisted by an old friend, Anthony Absolute, whose handsome young son, Captain Jack Absolute, serves in the military. Jack has taken a fancy to Lydia, and has adopted an alias, Lieutenant Bonny, because he wishes to pursue her. He knows she will not see him if she knows him to be a member of the upper class, so he pretends to be a lowly lieutenant. Bonny and Lydia carry on a secret romance, but a quarrel created intentionally by Lydia keeps them apart. Lydia's cousin Julia sympathizes with Lydia for the many troubles she must endure. Julia is engaged to be married to Fred, who is obsessed with her and is overcome with insecurity and jealousy. Mrs. Malaprop has suitors of her own which she attempts to conceal from Lydia. A clever servant, Lucy, carries letters between the lovers while she manipulates circumstances for financial benefit. She mixes things up mischievously and delightfully. Several men nearly come to violence in pursuit of their women. Romance and wit abound in this humorous play adapted in a modern version by Rolf McEwen from The Rivals by Richard Brinsley Sheridan. This version is set in England in 1910.
