Book Synopsis F.W. Woolworth and the American Five and Dime by : Jean Maddern Pitrone
Download or read book F.W. Woolworth and the American Five and Dime written by Jean Maddern Pitrone and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2007-01-09 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than a century, Woolworth's five and dime stores represented Americana, mirroring the country's growth, its good times and bad, its foibles and its fads. The chain was founded by Frank W. Woolworth, who in 1879 established two stores--one in Utica, New York, which failed and was closed down, and another in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, which succeeded and marked the beginning of the legacy of the Woolworth's Five and Tens. This work is a full account of the chain, its rags-to-riches founder, Frank W. Woolworth, and his flamboyant and tragic descendants. It traces the important role that Woolworth stores played in the sit-down strikes of the 1930s, the lunch counter sit-ins that began in Greensboro, North Carolina, as part of the Civil Rights movement (which tainted Woolworth's as the Big Business enemy of the downtrodden), and the gradual disintegration of the five and tens during the 1980s and early 1990s. The dramatic story is enhanced with important photos featuring such events as the closing of a Woolworth's in Germany by Nazi soldiers and the Greensboro sit-in as well as archival photos from Woolworth's 40th, 50th, and 60th anniversary booklets.

Book Synopsis A Christmas Story by : Jean Shepherd
Download or read book A Christmas Story written by Jean Shepherd and published by Crown. This book was released on 2010-10-27 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beloved, bestselling classic of humorous and nostalgic Americana—the book that inspired the equally classic Yuletide film and the live musical on Fox. The holiday film A Christmas Story, first released in 1983, has become a bona fide Christmas perennial, gaining in stature and fame with each succeeding year. Its affectionate, wacky, and wryly realistic portrayal of an American family’s typical Christmas joys and travails in small-town Depression-era Indiana has entered our imagination and our hearts with a force equal to It’s a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street. This edition of A Christmas Story gathers together in one hilarious volume the gems of autobiographical humor that Jean Shepherd drew upon to create this enduring film. Here is young Ralphie Parker’s shocking discovery that his decoder ring is really a device to promote Ovaltine; his mother and father’s pitched battle over the fate of a lascivious leg lamp; the unleashed and unnerving savagery of Ralphie’s duel in the show with the odious bullies Scut Farkas and Grover Dill; and, most crucially, Ralphie’s unstoppable campaign to get Santa—or anyone else—to give him a Red Ryder carbine action 200-shot range model air rifle. Who cares that the whole adult world is telling him, “You’ll shoot your eye out, kid”? The pieces that comprise A Christmas Story, previously published in the larger collections In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash and Wanda Hickey’s Night of Golden Memories, coalesce in a magical fashion to become an irresistible piece of Americana, quite the equal of the film in its ability to warm the heart and tickle the funny bone.

Book Synopsis Unwrapped: An Appalachian Mountain Christmas Mystery by : Lynda McDaniel
Download or read book Unwrapped: An Appalachian Mountain Christmas Mystery written by Lynda McDaniel and published by Lynda McDaniel Books. This book was released on 2023-07-17 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The joy of Christmas lasts all year!" “This is Lynda McDaniel's best book ever! I thoroughly inhabited it…these folks have become so precious to me.” Laurel Falls, N.C., Christmas 2012: The walnut dresser I bought my son sure brought a load of trouble. Not because one of the drawers kept sticking and the whole thing needed so much refinishing. No, I could handle that, what with being a woodworker most of my life. It was the diary hidden in a secret compartment for almost sixty year that turned everything upside down. That diary was filled with stories of mistreatment and misfortune, stories that twisted up something inside of me. Especially because the teenage girl who wrote them stopped writing mid-sentence. Like someone grabbed her and took her away. Or killed her to keep secret what she’d written. I just had to find out what happened to her. I knew what a lousy upbringing looked like, but even mine couldn’t compare with what she'd faced. I needed to know she'd made it through, like I had. The timing, though, couldn’t have been worse: Christmastime and I had the boys that year. I was set on making it the best one yet, but with mean threats and truck chases and family feuds raining down on us, it was hard to squeeze in very much ho-ho-ho. And yet we did, sharing old memories and making new ones. Della Kincaid stepped in, helping with our holiday celebrations and looking into that poor girl's whereabouts. Together we traveled through the mountains of North Carolina and up into Virginia, witnessing things I never wanted to see again while treasuring the everlasting beauty of the natural landscape. ~Abit Bradshaw You'll enjoy this suspenseful Christmas mystery because who doesn't hope someone would care if they disappeared? If you love Jacqueline Winspear, Sue Grafton, and Cheryl Bradshaw (no relation to Abit Bradshaw that we know of), you're sure to enjoy the Appalachian Mountain Mysteries series. Get it now—for the rich natural setting, colorful characters, and suspenseful investigations. Unwrapped is the seventh book in the Appalachian Mountain Mysteries series and a standalone novel. The books in this series may be read in any order. Look for the latest book in the Appalachian Mountain Mysteries series, After Dusk, coming soon! Interview with the Author Q: Where does this seventh book pick up in the lives of Abit Bradshaw and Della Kincaid? A: It's three years after Abit and Della helped a man reclaim his identity in Up the Creek. Abit is feeling more content with his lot in life, doing his woodworking and enjoying the nature that surrounds him on his farm. Della, on the other hand, is feeling unsettled, bored even, with her life at Coburn’s General Store. Q: What's new in the series? A: Abit’s mission involves discovering who wrote the 60-year-old diary he discovered in a piece of furniture he’s refinishing. He feels a strong connection with her difficult childhood. The entries are disturbing, and he has a strong need to make sure the young writer is okay all these years later. Q: Why should readers give this series a try? A: Because these are serious mysteries without over-the-top violence. And readers tell me the character development makes them eager to read more: "A pair of unforgettable crime-solving characters," one reader shared, and another wrote, "I became intrigued by and attached to the characters – Della, Abit, Alex, even the dog, Jake – and their dialogue." Q: In what order was this series written? A: Unwrapped, like all the books in the series, is a standalone, so readers won't be confused if they start with this book. The other books (in order written) include: A Life for a Life, The Roads to Damascus, Welcome the Little Children, Murder Ballad Blues, Deep in the Forest, Up the Creek, and After Dusk. Waiting for You is a free prequel novelette.
