Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Franklin Bardin's most acclaimed work plays a virtuoso performance on music and madness in this unforgettable thriller. In 1946 New York, Ellen, a world-renowned musician, is suffering from the effects of her latest mental breakdown. Amongst other challenges, a chance meeting with a folk singer from her past causes her psychological well-being to rapidly deteriorate. Over the following terrifying weeks, Ellen finds herself becoming both a criminal and a victim as she attempts to contend with the darkness within. "We have all had these feelings, more or less, and now and then. The healthier among us try to step back from the brink, try to laugh at what might have happened if we had gone a bit further. The reader of these tales will read in horror—those who can take it. And they will not forget very soon." —Patricia Highsmith

Download or read book Blue-Tail Fly written by Vievee Francis and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 2006-03-21 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A poetic treatment of the period of American history between the beginning of the Mexican War and the end of the Civil War, by Michigan poet Vievee Francis. The title of Blue-Tail Fly comes from an antebellum song commonly known as "Jimmy Crack Corn." The blue-tail fly is a supposedly insignificant creature that bites the horse that bucks and kills the master. In this collection, poet Vievee Francis gives voice to "outsiders"—from soldiers and common folk to leading political figures—who play the role of the blue-tail fly in the period of American history between the Mexican American War and the Civil War. Through a diverse range of styles, characters, and emotions, Francis's poems consider the demands of war, protest and resistance to it, and the cross-cultural exchanges of wartime. More than a narrowly themed text, Blue-Tail Fly is a book of balances, weighing the give-and-take of people and cultures in the arena of war. For lovers of poetry and those interested in American history, Blue-Tail Fly will illustrate the complexities of the American past and future.

Download or read book The Americana Song Reader written by William Emmett Studwell and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Studwell has struck gold again! Providing a heterogenous mixture of songs that mirrors the diversity of the United States and its culture, The Americana Song Reader is an entertaining and informative collection of over 130 historical essays on various American and foreign songs that have had a significant impact on U.S. popular culture. The essays give you basic historical data on the work, refer to any related or affiliated works, and touch upon the cultural context of its creation and popular usage in the United States. Presented in an offbeat, somewhat irreverent, yet scholarly style, the author has once again compiled a reference book that is fun to read. In addition to presenting information useful for reference, The Americana Song Reader contains anecdotes, ironic sidelights, poetry, and allusions to parodies. For ease of use, the book is divided into several sections. These sections, with some representative songs listed, include: Dancing Songs: “After the Ball,” “The Hokey Pokey,” “Sleeping Beauty Waltz” Marching Songs: “March of the Toys,” “When the Saints Go Marching In” Rural and Western Songs: “The Big Rock Candy Mountain,” “Jessie James,” “The Streets of Laredo” Songs That Excite or Amuse: “An American in Paris,” “1812 Overture,” “The Sidewalks of New York” Songs That Soothe or Bring Tears: “Beautiful Dreamer,” “I'm Always Chasing Rainbows,” “My Wild Irish Rose” Children's Songs: “Hansel and Gretel,” “Pop Goes the Weasel,” “Sing a Song of Sixpence” Circus Songs: “Barnum and Bailey's Favorite,” “Be a Clown,” “The Flying Trapeze” Drinking Songs: “Auld Lange Syne,” “Little Brown Jug,” “Ninety Nine Bottles of Beer” College Songs: “Iowa Corn Song,” “Notre Dame Victory Song,” “The Whiffenpoof Song” Song title index and author/group index Whether the music comes from New York City, remote rural areas of the South or West, or from Vienna or Paris, all music having some sort of impact on the lives of everyday Americans is in a very true way part of Americana. In The Americana Song Reader, you'll see the songs both as small pieces of the American culture puzzle and, collectively, as a large segment of the music of the country. This newest addition to William Studwell's collection of song readers will delight the general public, musicians, and librarians.

Book excerpt: A revised, enlarged, and updated edition of this authoritative and entertaining reference book —named the #2 essential home library reference book by the Wall Street Journal “Shapiro does original research, earning [this] volume a place on the quotation shelf next to Bartlett's and Oxford's.”—William Safire, New York Times Magazine (on the original edition) “A quotations book with footnotes that are as fascinating to read as the quotes themselves.”—Arthur Spiegelman, Washington Post Book World (on the original edition) Updated to include more than a thousand new quotations, this reader-friendly volume contains over twelve thousand famous quotations, arranged alphabetically by author and sourced from literature, history, popular culture, sports, digital culture, science, politics, law, the social sciences, and all other aspects of human activity.

It has also incorporated noncontemporary quotations that have become relevant to the present day. In addition, The New Yale Book of Quotations reveals the striking fact that women originated many familiar quotations, yet their roles have been forgotten and their verbal inventions have often been credited to prominent men instead. This book’s quotations, annotations, extensive cross-references, and large keyword index will satisfy both the reader who seeks specific information and the curious browser who appreciates an amble through entertaining pages.

Download or read book 1824: The Arkansas War written by Eric Flint and published by Baen Books. This book was released on 2022-10-04 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ALTERNATE HISTORY FROM A MASTER. Best known for his genre-defining Ring of Fire novels, Flint continues his alternate look at Jacksonian America in 1824: The Arkansas War. The relocation of the southern Indian tribes to Oklahoma engineered by Sam Houston following the War of 1812 also swept up many black inhabitants of North America. Many of the states in the USA—free as well as slaveholding—have passed laws ordering the expulsion of black freedmen. Having nowhere else to go, they joined the migration of the southern Indian tribes and settled in Arkansas. What results by 1824 is a hybrid nation of Indians, black people, and a number of white settlers as well. The situation is intolerable for the slaveholding states, which find a champion in Speaker of the House Henry Clay, whose longstanding ambition to become President of the United States looks to be coming to fruition. But Sam Houston and his friends and allies —the freedman Charles Ball, a former gunner for the US Navy and now a general in the Arkansas army, and the Irish revolutionary Patrick Driscol—are building a powerful army of their own in Arkansas. The crisis is brought to a head by the election of 1824. The war that follows will be a bloody crisis of conscience, politics, economics, and military action, drawing in players from as far away as England. And for such men as outgoing president James Monroe, Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, charismatic war hero Andrew Jackson, and the violent abolitionist John Brown, it is a time to change history itself. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management). About 1635: A Parcel of Rogues: “The 20th volume in this popular, fast-paced alternative history series follows close on the heels of the events in The Baltic War, picking up with the protagonists in London, including sharpshooter Julie Sims. This time the 20th-century transplants are determined to prevent the rise of Oliver Cromwell and even have the support of King Charles.”—Library Journal About 1634: The Galileo Affair: “A rich, complex alternate history with great characters and vivid action. A great read and an excellent book.”—David Drake “Gripping . . . depicted with power!”—Publishers Weekly About Eric Flint's Ring of Fire series: “This alternate history series is . . . a landmark.”—Booklist “[Eric] Flint's 1632 universe seems to be inspiring a whole new crop of gifted alternate historians.”—Booklist “ . . . reads like a technothriller set in the age of the Medicis . . .”—Publishers Weekly

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is 1898 and Ruth is an adventurous young Texan who stands at just four feet eleven inches tall. Naturally spiritual, she has an intimate relationship with all life forms, but not so much with other humans. After eloping with Riley Welty, a carefree and impulsive man whom she barely knows, she runs away with him across the Red River and into Oklahoma Territory to claim free land, much to the dismay of her family. As Ruth attempts to survive in a lonely place where she knows no one, she faces many trials that affect her physically, emotionally, and spiritually. After her husband sets out on a lengthy hunting trip and leaves her alone in a dugout shelter that is smaller than her bedroom back home, Ruth must rely on the wisdom gathered from scripture and God-inspired family and friends to endure the long days. But as fire ants, hail, and fierce winds wreak havoc on the prairie and in her life, now only time will tell if love will conquer fear and allow Ruth to find the strength within herself to not only survive but thrive on a barren parcel of land. Forty Days with Ruth shares the coming-of-age tale of a young woman’s experiences after she elopes with a dreamer in search of a better life in Oklahoma during the nineteenth century.

Download or read book Rhymes for the Working Man written by Keith Walker and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-12-19 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ballads and poems in this anthology were written by soldiers, miners, loggers, a Supreme Court Judge, song writers and even a few poets. Some of the language is pretty rough, but many of the men that wrote them or composed them were pretty rough themselves. In many books about ballads, the authors are listed as unknown or anonymous, but with the help of the internet, the Library of Congress, and several other anthologies I found a few of the Unknowns. Several qualities seem to give a ballad legs to remain popular over the centuries. It has to relate to current human events, such as war, unrequited love or sudden death. It also can be humorous, such as The four nights drunk, as any hung over man and pissed off wife can attest to. Songs and poems about animal behavior will always be popular because pups will always piddle and Persian kittens will always screw. The story poems of Robert Service and Banjo Patterson, have fascinated generations by their vivid imagery and the power of the English language. Some of these ballads are very old. The Cockroach song, La Cucaracha, predates Cortez and was sung by the Spaniards in the wars against the Moors. Other ballads were modified from the original, such as My Darling Clementine. Even the great balladeer, Woody Guthrie borrowed his song, Union Maid, from Thurland Chattaways song Redwing. And Patrick Gilmores Johnnie Comes Marching Home, was taken from an Irish Anti-war ballad, Johnnie I Hardly Knew Ye. The type of music often leads to ballad composition. Dvoraks Humoresque, Sousas Garry Owen and Howes Battle Hymn of the Republic are lilting and easy to sing and memorize. Try to write lyrics to Beethovens Fifth or something out of Wagner. Johnnie Cash recorded dozens of ballads to the same beat.
