Book Synopsis Both Sides of the River by : Tim White
Download or read book Both Sides of the River written by Tim White and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both Sides of the River has something for everyone. It centers around one couple's struggle to raise their children in the way that they should go. It begins in the 1950s with his return from military duty and ends in 2006 at their 50th anniversary. In between there is laughter, history, tragedy, and a few rare triumphs. There's a little romance for those so inclined, but throughout there's the underlying message of unquestioned faith in the higher being. There's the gospel singing from the 60s and 70s and the value of a good bird dog. Everything from cooking syrup at the right temperature up to addressing stereotypes and other social indiscretions. But mostly, it's to honor some pretty amazing parents for being married for 50 years. Both Sides of the River bring to light some of the struggles and sacrifices endured not only them but also by every other family nationwide during those turbulent times.

Download or read book On Both Sides of the River written by Alberto Ramon and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2010-07 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Both Sides of the River paints a vignette of south Texas-its people, history, and cultural diversity-through interwoven tales of the scourge of drug-trafficking on both sides of the Rio Grande River and of the annual quest for the monster whitetail buck of Mexican and south Texas lore, El Cacaistón. Joe González, a south Texas criminal defense lawyer, finds himself embroiled in a situation involving drug-trafficking, corruption, and violence. He overhears young, violent American drug lord Mark Balbuena, heir to the Balbuena family ranch, talking to someone in a local bar about drug deal. When young Balbuena makes the massive deal with a notorious Mexican drug lord, an unexpected double-cross begins a drug war. Despite Mark's plan to save it, the Balbuena ranch is purchased by entrepreneur Max Wadsworth. Even so, to González, the presence of Mark Balbuena on the ranch clearly suggests he was trafficking drugs from the family ranch. Only time would reveal now whether the Balbuenas would emerge from the trouble unscathed, or whether it would all fall apart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The uniqueness of the United States of America sets it apart from any other country; people from all over the world come to our shores in pursuit of a way of life that is found nowhere else. Unfortunately, the once shinning light on a hill that America once was is growing dim. If the American people do not awaken from their slumber, take an active role in preserving what our founders and forefathers created and willed to us, that shining light will disappear, never to shine again. Meandering across the landscape of America is a metaphoric raging river that divides us unlike any time in our history. It is impossible to reside on both sides of a river simultaneously and the time has come when we must choose one side of the other. If we take an uncomplicated, common sense approach, we can easily discovery the reality of the state America is in today. There is only one bridge spanning the metaphoric river and for some, it is a mystery. I invite you to journey with me to explore that mystery.
Book Synopsis Two Sides of One River by : António Medeiros
Download or read book Two Sides of One River written by António Medeiros and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2013 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Galicia, the region in the northwest corner of Spain contiguous with Portugal, is officially known as the Autonomous Community of Galicia. It is recognized as one of the historical nationalities making up the Spanish state, as legitimized by the Spanish Constitution of 1978. Although Galicia and Portugal belong to different states, there are frequent allusions to their similarities. This study compares topographic and ethnographic descriptions of Galicia and Portugal from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to understand how the integration into different states and the existence of nationalist discourses resulted in marked differences in the historical representations of these two bordering regions of the Iberian Peninsula. The author explores the role of the imagination in creating a sense, over the last century and a half, of the national being and becoming of these two related peoples.
Book Synopsis The Other Side of the River by : Alex Kotlowitz
Download or read book The Other Side of the River written by Alex Kotlowitz and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2012-01-04 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author Alex Kotlowitz is one of this country's foremost writers on the ever explosive issue of race. In this gripping and ultimately profound book, Kotlowitz takes us to two towns in southern Michigan, St. Joseph and Benton Harbor, separated by the St. Joseph River. Geographically close, but worlds apart, they are a living metaphor for America's racial divisions: St. Joseph is a prosperous lakeshore community and ninety-five percent white, while Benton Harbor is impoverished and ninety-two percent black. When the body of a black teenaged boy from Benton Harbor is found in the river, unhealed wounds and suspicions between the two towns' populations surface as well. The investigation into the young man's death becomes, inevitably, a screen on which each town projects their resentments and fears. The Other Side of the River sensitively portrays the lives and hopes of the towns' citizens as they wrestle with this mystery--and reveals the attitudes and misperceptions that undermine race relations throughout America.

Book Synopsis Both Sides of the Bullpen by : Robert S. McPherson
Download or read book Both Sides of the Bullpen written by Robert S. McPherson and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1880 and 1940, Navajo and Ute families and westward-trending Anglos met in the “bullpens” of southwestern trading posts to barter for material goods. As the products of the livestock economy of Navajo culture were exchanged for the merchandise of an industrialized nation, a wealth of cultural knowledge also changed hands. In Both Sides of the Bullpen, Robert S. McPherson reveals the ways that Navajo tradition fundamentally reshaped and defined trading practices in the Four Corners area of southeastern Utah and southwestern Colorado. Drawing on oral histories of Native peoples and traders collected over thirty years of research, McPherson explores these interactions from both perspectives, as wool, blankets, and silver crossed the counter in exchange for flour, coffee, and hardware. To succeed, traders had to meet the needs and expectations of their customers, often interpreted through Navajo cultural standards. From the organization of the post building to gift giving, health care and burial services, and a credit system tailored to the Navajo calendar, every feature of the trading post served trader and customer alike. Over time, these posts evolved from ad hoc business ventures or profitable cooperative stores into institutions with a clearly defined set of expectations that followed Navajo traditional practices. Traders spent their days evaluating craft work, learning the financial circumstances of each Native family, following economic trends in the wool and livestock industry back east, and avoiding conflict. In detail and depth, the many voices woven throughout Both Sides of the Bullpen restore an underappreciated era to the history of the American Southwest. They show us that for American Indians and white traders alike in the Four Corners region during the late 1800s and early 1900s, barter was as much a cultural expression as it was an economic necessity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My name is Leroy Wright Jr. I was born in Pineville Louisiana. I have two brothers and three sisters. There is nothing special about my family that GOD would over look our sins just because we were taught to love instead of hate. Some may think just because we were raised in the country and they were raised in the city, that a different GOD will judge us. HELLO, the same GOD will judge will judge us all. He will not allow the things that I do wrong go unpunished, nor the things you do. So let's all get it right and serve GOD in spirit and in truth. Remember that he is watching the things we do good or bad, and all is being kept on record. On judgment day there will be no excuses or exception. On the day of his return all will bow and confess that JESUS CHRIST is LORD. May GOD Bless and keep us all is my prayer.

Download or read book Running the River written by Wes Ferguson and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up near the Sabine, journalist Wes Ferguson, like most East Texans, steered clear of its murky, debris-filled waters, where alligators lived in the backwater sloughs and an occasional body was pulled from some out-of-the-way crossing. The Sabine held a reputation as a haunt for a handful of hunters and loggers, more than a few water moccasins, swarms of mosquitoes, and the occasional black bear lumbering through swamp oak and cypress knees. But when Ferguson set out to do a series of newspaper stories on the upper portion of the river, he and photographer Jacob Croft Botter were entranced by the river’s subtle beauty and the solitude they found there. They came to admire the self-described “river rats” who hunted, fished, and swapped stories along the muddy water—plain folk who love the Sabine as much as Hill Country vacationers love the clear waters of the Guadalupe. Determined to travel the rest of the river, Ferguson and Botter loaded their gear and launched into the stretch of river that charts the line between the states and ends at the Gulf of Mexico.

Driven to understand the hard realities of the landscape he loves, Cantú joins the Border Patrol. He and his partners learn to track other humans under blistering sun and through frigid nights. They haul in the dead and deliver to detention those they find alive. Plagued by a growing awareness of his complicity in a dehumanizing enterprise, he abandons the Patrol for civilian life. But when an immigrant friend travels to Mexico to visit his dying mother and does not return, Cantú discovers that the border has migrated with him, and now he must know the full extent of the violence it wreaks, on both sides of the line.
