Download or read book Cedar Crossing written by Mark Busby and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-19 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Trans-Cedar lynching is an infamous tale buried deep in the subconscious of rural Texas history—although it made front-page headlines in the Dallas Morning News and even in national newspapers from May through November of 1899. This horrifying event is at the center of a compelling novel by author Mark Busby. He has not only researched original documents but has used family oral histories to probe the mysteries that still shroud a lynching that is as horrifying and baffling now as it must have been over a hundred years ago. The "War of Northern Aggression" was still fresh in the memory of those who lived through it; hog-stealing, moonshine, secret meetings, and the lore of the Texas Rangers were part of the fabric of country life, and there were many who refused to believe the war was really over. Against this backdrop, a running feud between the Humphries and the Wilkinsons exploded into a triple murder. When young Jefferson Bowie Adams II is given an assignment for a college course in 1964, President Kennedy has just been assassinated, the movement for civil rights is beginning to stir, and developments in Vietnam barely make the back pages of the newspaper. Setting out to record a story from his family's history, Jeff discovers—sitting in his grandfather's hideout while Pampaw smokes a forbidden cigar--a story that is as mesmerizing as it is shocking: the tale of a triple lynching in Henderson County in the late spring of 1899, an event Pampaw himself witnessed. Even as the scene of the crime is slowly being submerged by the filling of the Cedar Creek Reservoir, Jeff struggles to uncover the truths of what really happened that fateful night in 1899. Through the various recollections of his aging kin, Adams begins to uncover a web of relationships and a love story that ultimately leads him to a missing girl, a country graveyard, and a realization that he and his family are part and parcel of the stained history of the South.

Book Synopsis The Nana Elaine Chronicles by : Jodi Walsh
Download or read book The Nana Elaine Chronicles written by Jodi Walsh and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2023-07-05 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are, were, or might ever be a caregiver, the Nana Elaine Chronicles was written for you. In it, Jodi Walsh shares the highs and lows of being a caregiver for her grandmother, who suffered from Alzheimer’s, as her nana moves from living in her own home, to assisted living, and finally to long term care. Heartfelt, realistic, and also inspirational, this book shares nuggets of valuable information about how to interact with loved ones who have Alzheimer’s and how to survive and even thrive as a caregiver. Even more importantly, it reminds us that life can be messy, no one is perfect, and that there is power in just showing up with love. Although built around posts that the author originally shared on a Facebook group, Jodi also takes time to document and celebrate the woman her nana was before Alzheimer’s. This makes the story deeply personal, and allows us to see how Nana Elaine’s strength, humor, and grace remain even as the condition ravages her memory. These revelations remind us that despite the heartaches along the way, a caregiving journey can be joyful. The Nana Elaine Chronicles also covers what happens when it is time to say good-bye to a loved one and the caregiver’s role ends. Openly and honestly, Jodi shares the importance of self-care and dealing with pent-up emotions and the steps she took to move forward and embrace the next stage of her life post-caregiving.
