Book Synopsis A Mount Lehman Native Son by : Gordon Taylor
Download or read book A Mount Lehman Native Son written by Gordon Taylor and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2023-08-24 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a biography of my father, who died in 1998. He has left many notes in anticipation of writing a book or books himself, primarily to highlight his heritage, upbringing, and the history of the area in BC in which he lived, namely Mount Lehman. Due to his death, I had to step up, try to marshal all his notes, and attempt to write his story, as I perceive it. In the process, I had to conduct my own genealogical research, as well as historical research of my relatives, to confirm Dad’s notes and to ensure my account is accurate. I also researched the various organizations in Mount Lehman which were prominent in Dad’s and my ancestor’s lives, as I believed that the book will also be important to the history of this area. There is a dearth of comprehensive writing about the history of Mount Lehman. The book is intended to tell the story of my father and our ancestors to those who had never met them, or knew Dad and don’t know all his stories. I am especially proud of our family’s heritage and ancestry, and want to encourage my children and grandchildren to be aware of their ancestry, and add to this story if they feel inclined to do so.
Book Synopsis Walter Harper, Alaska Native Son by : Mary F. Ehrlander
Download or read book Walter Harper, Alaska Native Son written by Mary F. Ehrlander and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walter Harper, Alaska Native Son illuminates the life of the remarkable Irish-Athabascan man who was the first person to summit Mount Denali, North America's tallest mountain. Born in 1893, Walter Harper was the youngest child of Jenny Albert and the legendary gold prospector Arthur Harper. His parents separated shortly after his birth, and his mother raised Walter in the Athabascan tradition, speaking her Koyukon-Athabascan language. When Walter was seventeen years old, Episcopal archdeacon Hudson Stuck hired the skilled and charismatic youth as his riverboat pilot and winter trail guide. During the following years, as the two traveled among Interior Alaska's Episcopal missions, they developed a father-son-like bond and summited Denali together in 1913. Walter's strong Athabascan identity allowed him to remain grounded in his birth culture as his Western education expanded and he became a leader and a bridge between Alaska Native peoples and Westerners in the Alaska territory. He planned to become a medical missionary in Interior Alaska, but his life was cut short at the age of twenty-five, in the Princess Sophia disaster of 1918 near Skagway, Alaska. Harper exemplified resilience during an era when rapid socioeconomic and cultural change was wreaking havoc in Alaska Native villages. Today he stands equally as an exemplar of Athabascan manhood and healthy acculturation to Western lifeways whose life will resonate with today's readers.
Book Synopsis The Alfred Hitchcock Encyclopedia by : Stephen Whitty
Download or read book The Alfred Hitchcock Encyclopedia written by Stephen Whitty and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-06-09 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several decades after his last motion picture was produced, Alfred Hitchcock is still regarded by critics and fans alike as one of the masters of cinema. From silents of the 1920s to his final feature in 1976, the director’s many films continue to entertain audiences and inspire filmmakers. In The Alfred Hitchcock Encyclopedia, film critic Stephen Whitty provides a detailed overview of the director's work. This reference volume features in-depth critical entries on each of his major films as well as biographical essays on his most frequent collaborators and discussions of significant themes in his work. For this book, Whitty draws on primary-source materials such as interviews he conducted with associates of the director—including screenwriter Jay Presson Allen (Marnie), actresses Eva Marie Saint (North by Northwest) and Kim Novak (Vertigo), actor Farley Granger (Strangers on a Train), actor and producer Norman Lloyd (Saboteur), and Hitchcock’s daughter Patricia (Stage Fright; Psycho)—among others. Encompassing the entire range of the director’s career—from early influences and silent films to his decade-long television show and cameos in nearly every feature—this is a comprehensive overview of cinema’s ultimate showman. A detailed and lively look at the master of suspense, The Alfred Hitchcock Encyclopedia will be of interest to professors, students, and the many fans of the director’s work.
