Book Synopsis Captain Billy's Troopers by : William Cobb
Download or read book Captain Billy's Troopers written by William Cobb and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2015-09 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Along the way, readers relish his first experiences of love and success as a writer, leading to a career as a professor of writing at Alabama College (now the University of Montevallo) in 1963. From there Cobb's struggles with alcohol and depression lead to elongated years of tumbling creative output and the collapse of his marriage. The summer of 1984 found Cobb in rehab, the first step in his path to recovery. His unflinching memoir narrates both the milestones and telling details of his intense therapy and years in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). In the sober thirty years since, Cobb has published a string of critically praised novels and a prize-winning collection of short stories. The capstone of his comeback was winning the Harper Lee Award in 2007 for distinguished fiction writing. In 2000, shortly after retiring, Cobb developed NPH, which upset his sense of balance and triggered dementia symptoms and other maladies.

William "Billy" Bush. Born in Orange County, Virginia, Billy came out with Daniel Boone in 1775, resided for a time at Fort Boonesborough, then spent the rest of his life living a few miles from the fort. He thus became one of the first permanent settlers in Kentucky. Billy was also a key figure in establishing Providence Baptist Church, the first church in Clark County. Their place of worship-the Old Stone Church-is now the oldest church on Kentucky soil. Billy Bush laid claim to thousands of acres of land between Winchester and the Kentucky River, and Daniel Boone ran the surveys for him. This land became the foundation of the Bush Settlement.

Download or read book Mobs written by Dan Stein and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2019-02-04 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dan Stein grew up in the 60's and became a federal prosecutor stationed in Miami Florida. The story alternates between Dan's coming of age experiences and his experiences battling organized crime during the era when the Colombians challenged traditional organized crime families for supremacy. Dan's experiences as a teenager and during his college years foretold his later approach to destroying the mob. Despite religious parents who were the epitome of ethical behavior, Dan developed flexible ethics and morals, enabling him to conveniently manipulate others to achieve his ends. His experiences with women were primarily superficial and sexual except for those few women he wanted but could never have. He also established a curious relationship with a fellow football player, who was prone to violence and excess. Dan craftily cleaned up his messes and, at the same time, achieved a masterful domination of this human weapon. Little did Dan know that this relationship would come back to haunt him as an adult. Dan screwed up his college aspirations by his meaningless high school escapades, but was granted a second chance by a bizarre circumstance. His college roommate was a mysterious son of a mafia chieftain, who Dan tutored in exchange for room and board. An incredible turn of events changed Dan's life and set him on a course to destroy the mob. During the same era when Dan became a prosecutor, Colombian narcotics suppliers challenged traditional organized crime for control over the narcotics trade by demonstrating unprecedented cruelty and depravity. During this duel between the Colombians and the Italian mob, a power struggle in traditional organized crime emerged, which involved Dan's old college roommate's father. Dan and his roommate became pawns in that struggle which led to devastating consequences. When Dan began pursuing organized criminals, he used every opportunity to manipulate the system to achieve his ends. He finally found the vehicle for his ambitions, through a very carefully prepared infiltrator. Dan then became obsessed with working his way up to exact revenge on the mob's new capo d’ capo. Blinded by his ultimate goals, Dan was severely compromised by his childhood friend. The book ends with an undisclosed perpetrator, frustrating Dan's plans and resulting in an ending as ambiguous as Dan's morals.

Book Synopsis Breezy Point by : Peter James Ward Richie
Download or read book Breezy Point written by Peter James Ward Richie and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015-12-07 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1919, Wilford Hamilton Fawcett, better known as "Captain Billy," published the first issue of Captain Billy's Whiz Bang. Filled with jokes and cartoons, the little magazine made a fortune for Fawcett. In 1921, he purchased 80 acres on the shore of Big Pelican Lake near Brainerd, Minnesota, and built a bluff-top village of cabins. The following year, as Fawcett Publications brought out True Confessions magazine, construction began on the Breezy Point Lodge. This magnificent log structure featured a ballroom, casino, billiard room, and bowling alley. After Fawcett's untimely death in 1940, the resort was closed until the end of World War II. When Breezy Point reopened, Minnesota families returned in droves. After a fire destroyed the main lodge in 1959, Breezy Point was rebuilt and reimagined by Hollywood entertainer Ginny Simms. The legendary resort has grown and changed over the years, but Fawcett's vision and adventurous spirit are still soaring above Big Pelican Lake and the piney woods of Breezy Point.
