Book excerpt: First in an epic trilogy that begins in the antebellum South, where a swindler and a group of runaway slaves fight against an evil plantation owner’s legacy. 1859. When his latest business venture goes bust, Durksen Hurst finds himself on the run from a mob—and in the last place he ever wanted to be: Turkle, Mississippi. In the thirty years since Hurst had been there, a lot has changed. The only plantation that has survived is the one owned by the French family. Missus Marie Brussard French runs her dominion with a strong hand and an iron will, never giving her son, Devereau, the authority and independence he so desperately craves. And now their power faces its greatest threat . . . Hurst has pitched a new scheme to a group of runaway slaves he encountered. He’ll make them freedmen and partners on the plantation he’s dreamed of building. All Hurst has to do is pull two deadly swindles: get a Chickasaw chief to sign over the land, and convince a government agent to transform the document into a deed. But the Frenches have their own secrets to hide—and don’t need a rival landowner threatening their hold on the town. The appearance of a beautiful and mysterious woman only adds fuel to the fire. And as rumors of a civil war swirl throughout the South, the fight between Hurst and the Frenches turns into a battle neither can afford to lose . . . “The action and drama are compelling from the first page to the exciting conclusion.” —Historical Novel Society

Download or read book Mr New Orleans written by Matthew Randazzo V and published by Mrv Entertainment LLC. This book was released on 2014-06-19 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wiseguys called him "the Keith Richards of the American Mafia" and JFK hero Jim Garrison denounced him as "one of the most notorious vice operators in the history of New Orleans" ... but you can just call him MR. NEW ORLEANS. Mr. New Orleans tells the incredible story of Frenchy Brouillette, a redneck Cajun teenager who stole his big brother's motorcycle and embarked on a 60-year vacation to New Orleans, where he became a legendary gangster and the underworld political fixer for his cousin, Louisiana Governor Edwin Edwards. Written by Crescent City native Matthew Randazzo V, the wickedly funny Mr. New Orleans is the first book to ever break the code of secrecy of the New Orleans Mafia Family, the oldest and most mysterious criminal secret society in America. "Mr. New Orleans is a rollicking, disturbing ride through the underbelly of a bygone New Orleans, lined with moments of dark, side-splitting hilarity. If you're a fan of James Lee Burke, drop what you're reading and pick this one up. In an era when popular wisdom tells us T.V. has stolen all depth from the literary true-crime narrative, Matthew Randazzo has found a way to beat that trend mightily; he's gone straight to the source and captured the singular, confounding voice of the New Orleans' mafia's top political fixer with fast-paced, riveting prose and a fine journalist's eye for detail." Chris Rice, New York Times Bestselling Author "Mr. New Orleans is a total knockout: Take everything you ever imagined about the sleazy good times to be had in New Orleans -- the sleazy good times capital of America -- and quadruple it, and you have a hint of what's inside these sticky pages." Bill Tonelli, Author of The Italian American Reader and Editor for Esquire and Rolling Stone

Download or read book Ballads Songs of WWI written by Jerry Silverman and published by Mel Bay Publications. This book was released on 2013-11-20 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this meticulously researched anthology, Jerry Silverman uses the popular music of the World War I (1912-1919) to provide a thorough overview of the political and social milieu of the times as well as a sense of the futility of war. Extensive historical notes and period photographs enhance this collection of 59 songschosen for their musical value as much as for their historical significance. Silvernman writes, There were two parallel streams of songs being created during the course of 'the war to end all wars'-one by the soldiers 'over there' and theother by songwriters 'over here'. Tin Pan Alley titles include: It's a Long Way to Tipperary, 'Til the Boys Come Home (Keep the Home Fires Burning), I Don't Want to War, I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier, I've Got the Army Blues, Hello Central-Give Me France, Over There, Oh! How to Get Up in the Morning,and How Ya Gonna Keep 'Em Down on the Farm; Tin Hat Alley tunes include: Diggin', Deep-Sea Blues, When I Lay Down, The Passing Pilot and Hinky Dinky, Parley-voo. Each song is shown in piano/vocal format with accompaniment chord symbols. Many of the soldiers' songs appear in print here for the first time
Download or read book The Body in the Graveyard written by Stephen Hudson and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2024-09-13 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Trumper, the posing, arrogant charlatan who styles himself ‘Mister French,’ has been found dead, his body lying in a graveyard. If it was murder, then there are plenty of suspects: in his characteristically high-handed way he’s belittled, insulted or offended nearly everybody he met. But who was so tormented by him as to seek retribution? Trumper’s former colleague, the part-time schoolteacher and Ph.D. student Carol Jones, tries to unlock the secret of his death. At the same time, another question gnaws at her: whilst curiosity demands to know who committed the murder, should the killer really have to face justice? After all, as her hero Inspector Maigret once said, “The criminal is often less guilty than his victim.”
Download or read book Optimism at Armageddon written by Mark Meigs and published by Springer. This book was released on 1997-03-05 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analytical account of the experiences of American soldiers in World War 1 drawing on a wide range of sources in France and the United States. Since American forces did not appear on the Western Front in substantial numbers until the summer of 1918, their experiences of the war were short and less devastating than those of their Allied comrades. Thus surviving American troops emerged from the experience in a rather more upbeat mood about the war than the Allies. This is a fascinating and ground-breaking work as few other military historians have attempted to deal with the US army of 1918 in depth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A masterwork of crime and black comedy, George V. Higgins is in his element as he spell-bindingly recounts lawyer Jerry Kennedy’s more fragrant cases. Keen to take some time off, Jerry Kennedy plans a short holiday en famille at Green Harbor, his eclectic clients don’t get the memo however. His drive-by clientele, the car thieves, pimps, drug dealers and boatyard mechanics are diverse in all respects but one, persistence. Matters come to a head when a midnight intruder breaks into Kennedy’s home, knife drawn and determination blaring in his eyes. In deciphering the imposter’s intentions, Jerry’s qualities of honesty, responsibility and downright hard work are seriously put to the test. Brimming with a bevy of bimbos, bent cops and bad actors, Kennedy for the Defense shows us the Boston crooks-and-cops world through an attorney’s eyes.
Download or read book A Cathedral in Hell written by Donald P.H. Eaton and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-12-08 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If war is 'hell', as Sherman wrote, then it is also theater. The stage may be a burning city, tough country hedgerows or wide, bloody beaches. It may be soft green fields, mud-filled trenches or clear skies streaked with the lovely contrails of men above trying to kill other men as they fly. But ever since the time of Homer, only the props and costumes have changed. Although it is the 'people' who concern us most, the 'theater' provides a most dramatic and, in fact, little known backdrop. The last four months of the Civil War has been called the most critical and important months in American history: "There probably never was a month so full of peril, so packed with action, so frightened with significance, as April, 1865." A CATHEDRAL IN HELL is the second novel in the four volume series, TILL THEY BEG FOR MERCY. Volume III, DESPERATE BATTLE, will be available in September, 2012.
