Download or read book Into Hell I Rode written by Ii Atwood and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his revealing and frank autobiography, David G. Atwood, II takes us into a world of government corruption, back-stabbing politicians and an all too familiar tour of the criminal justice system. Persecuted by a corrupt sheriff's department for exposing a cabal of local corruption that reached into the upper echelon of international politics; prosecuted and sent to federal prison for a crime he didn't commit; and discriminated against for being gay, David leads us on a journey through the life of a prisoner that only an insider could tell and captivates us with a story of courage that will inspire everyone who reads it. Whether revealing the drug connections that for years have padded the pockets of the local cops and exposing how government-sanctioned drug deals in Vicksburg, Mississippi helped illegally fund the Nicaraguan Contras in the 1980's, David leaves no hole's barred as he takes aim at those who would misuse their political power for personal gain.

Download or read book King Cotton II written by Richard A. Noble and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2024-05-21 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spring of 2023, a Kentucky farmer noticed the furrows behind his plow begin to sparkle in the sun. He had just inadvertently unearthed hundreds of Confederate gold coins, the newest from 1863. No one knows how or why they were there. Well, one man does. Cotton trader, photographer, philanderer, and Civil War veteran (having served with dubious distinction on both sides), Jack Bailey is back in King Cotton II – Kentucky Gold. Picking up exactly where King Cotton ends, just moments after Lincoln’s assassination, Bailey flees Washington justifiably fearing that he’ll be implicated. During his ensuing travels he encounters many of the famous characters of the day, such as Jefferson Davis, Wild Bill Hickok, Kit Carson, Frank and Jesse James, and Buffalo Bill Cody. Prior acquaintances, including Allan Pinkerton, Ulysses S. Grant, distiller John Beam, and P.T. Barnum return. As usual, Bailey’s exploits place him at many notable historic events, including the first quick draw gunfight in the old west, herding longhorn up the Old Chisholm Trail, one of the earliest train robberies in America, Black Friday of September 1869, and the Battle of Beecher Island, Colorado. True to form, he finds himself in various boudoirs along the way, entertaining ladies that range from famous actresses to borderline sociopaths. As it was in King Cotton, all of the events, timelines, and most of the characters in this sequel are real.

Download or read book What the Children Said written by Jeanne Pitre Soileau and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2021-08-23 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2022 Opie Prize Jeanne Pitre Soileau vividly presents children’s voices in What the Children Said: Child Lore of South Louisiana. Including over six hundred handclaps, chants, jokes, jump-rope rhymes, cheers, taunts, and teases, this book takes the reader through a fifty-year history of child speech as it has influenced children’s lives. What the Children Said affirms that children's play in south Louisiana is acquired along a network of summer camps, schoolyards, church gatherings, and sleepovers with friends. When children travel, they obtain new games and rhymes and bring them home. The volume also reveals, in the words of the children themselves, how young people deal with racism and sexism. The children argue and outshout one another, policing their own conversations, stating their own prejudices, and vying with one another for dominion. The first transcript in the book tracks a conversation among three related boys and shows that racism is part of the family interchange. Among second-grade boys and girls at a Catholic school, another transcript presents numerous examples in which boys use insults to dominate a conversation with girls, and girls use giggles and sly comebacks to counter this aggression. Though collected in the areas of New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Lafayette, Louisiana, this volume shows how south Louisiana child lore is connected to other English-speaking places: England, Scotland, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, as well as the rest of the United States.

But there’s a hidden war boiling over at the Satan’s Sons MC. Can Wheeler save his MC from annihilation… And keep his pregnant woman from falling into enemy hands? EMBER As a fire dancer, I know what it’s like to get too close to the flames. But the bad boy biker is about to burn me in a whole new way. He’s a heartbreaker in the flesh. No good for me – or for any woman. But he’s got that thing I just can’t resist. That spark. That allure. And he’s decided that I’m coming with him. Whether I like it or not. WHEELER Sometimes, no words are needed. Ember knew from the second our eyes met that this evening would be different than anything she’d ever experienced. And I was about to prove her right. Women always want more of me. But my whole life, it’s always been one rule: onto the next. Ember is different, though. She makes me want to stay. To go back for more. So when I threw her on the back of my bike and rode off into the night, I knew that this could end only one way: Tragedy. Because for the first time in a long time, I have something I care about. No more reckless rogue. No more win at all costs. I have to stay alive so I can keep Ember safe. Because she’s carrying my baby.
