This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the Fort and Fannin Families We felt that the lives of our father and mother and the facts concerning the Fort and Fannin families, united by their marriage, were Of such interest and importance to their descendants that they should be preserved. With much reluctance, and frequently interrupted by illness, my mother, then seventy-seven years Of age, dictated her memoirs. She Omitted much concerning herself, being dis inclined to speak freely of my father's and Of her own virtues, nor did she tell all that was known to the family of my father's long, varied and illustrious career. These omissions were due in part to her modesty, and also to a memory less clear than in early life. Therefore, in order to finish these reminiscences, and present the surviving members of the family more complete biographical sketches of our beloved parents, I have supplemented my mother's memoirs with much additional information that I possess. I have also added sketches, stories, and other matter prepared by different members of the family which throw more light on the Fort and Fannin families and especially on the lives of Tomlinson and Martha Low Fort. I believe that I am in better position to do this than any other member of the family, as I was longer and more closely associated with our mother and have made this collection of family history a work of years.

Download or read book Wanderer Springs written by Robert Flynn and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 1987-01-01 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wanderer Springs is a dying town in Northwest Texas, one of that string of dusty towns left to wither away when the highway from Fort Worth to Amarillo bypassed them. For travelers on that highway, the harsh and unforgiving countryside passes as no more than a blur. For Will Callaghan, that country and the town of Wanderer Springs are carved into memory, indelible in their clarity. Called home from San Antonio by a funeral, Will begins a journey, both physical and imaginative, that crosses not only geographic and cultural boundaries but darts back and forth in time, mixing stories of the town's frontier past with episodes of Will's high school days. In sometimes hilarious and sometimes painful detail, Will relives the football game where he dropped the pass that lost the championship for Wanderer Springs forever, the time he got his gum stuck in his girlfriend's hair, the strangely distant but close relationship of a motherless boy and his taciturn father. Equally clear are the tales from the past--the Turrill family's desperate wagon ride to find a doctor for their daughter, dying of appendicitus, or Lulu Byars who danced and danced in town and caught pneumonia riding back to her dugout in a norther. Wanderer Springs said she died of frivolity. Through it all, the clear voice of Will Callaghan, a good old boy grown into an intellectual, gives meaning to the chaos, seeks sense out of the past, recognizes our inextricable link to the past. Wanderer Springs is a wonderfully witty, sensitive novel that will stand out as one of the more serious, thoughtful, and memorable novels to come out of recent Texas writing.

Download or read book Texian Iliad written by Stephen L. Hardin and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hardly were the last shots fired at the Alamo before the Texas Revolution entered the realm of myth and controversy. French visitor Frederic Gaillardet called it a "Texian Iliad" in 1839, while American Theodore Sedgwick pronounced the war and its resulting legends "almost burlesque." In this highly readable history, Stephen L. Hardin discovers more than a little truth in both of those views. Drawing on many original Texan and Mexican sources and on-site inspections of almost every battlefield, he offers the first complete military history of the Revolution. From the war's opening in the "Come and Take It" incident at Gonzales to the capture of General Santa Anna at San Jacinto, Hardin clearly describes the strategy and tactics of each side. His research yields new knowledge of the actions of famous Texan and Mexican leaders, as well as fascinating descriptions of battle and camp life from the ordinary soldier's point of view. This award-winning book belongs on the bookshelf of everyone interested in Texas or military history.

Download or read book Workin' Our Way Home written by Ron Hall and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The heartwarming sequel to Same Kind of Different As Me! After Miss Debbie's death in 2000, her husband, Ron formed an even stronger bond with Denver, a homeless ex-con. Ron's touching memoir chronicles how their shared devotion to Debbie led them to work toward fulfilling her vision: to ease the pain associated with poverty, homelessness, and inequality. Workin’ Our Way Home describes the ten years Ron and Denver lived together after Miss Debbie’s death. Written in both Ron’s and Denver’s unique voices, their inspiring (and often hilarious) adventures include: Their sometimes-bizarre life together in the Murchison Mansion Denver accidentally almost burning the house down—twice The challenges involved with making a movie Two visits to the White House Traveling the country to raise awareness about homelessness And much more! With both wit and wisdom, these pages reveal God’s plan lived out through these men and those closest to them, including their passion to fulfill Debbie’s dream of mitigating the suffering and humiliation associated with homelessness and inequality. Denver said it best: “Whether we is rich or whether we is poor, or somethin' in between, this earth ain’t no final restin' place. So in a way, we is all homeless—ever last one of us—just workin our way home.”
Book Synopsis The Blood of Heroes by : James Donovan
Download or read book The Blood of Heroes written by James Donovan and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2012-05-15 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On February 23, 1836, a large Mexican army led by dictator Santa Anna reached San Antonio and laid siege to about 175 Texas rebels holed up in the Alamo. The Texans refused to surrender for nearly two weeks until almost 2,000 Mexican troops unleashed a final assault. The defenders fought valiantly-for their lives and for a free and independent Texas-but in the end, they were all slaughtered. Their ultimate sacrifice inspired the rallying cry "Remember the Alamo!" and eventual triumph. Exhaustively researched, and drawing upon fresh primary sources in U.S. and Mexican archives, The Blood of Heros is the definitive account of this epic battle. Populated by larger-than-life characters -- including Davy Crockett, James Bowie, William Barret Travis -- this is a stirring story of audacity, valor, and redemption.
