Book excerpt: Considered by many to be the greatest blues singer of all time, Bessie Smith was also a successful vaudeville entertainer who became the highest paid African-American performer of the roaring twenties. This book--a revised and expanded edition of the classic biography of this extraordinary artist--debunks many of the myths that have circulated since her untimely death in 1937. Chris Albertson writes with insight and candor about the singer's personal life and her career, supplementing his historical research with dozens of interviews with her relatives, friends, and associates, in particular Ruby Walker Smith, a niece by marriage who toured with Bessie for over a decade. For this new edition he includes more details of Bessie's early years, new interview material, and a chapter devoted to events and responses that followed the original publication in 1971.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Captivity was endemic in Arizona from the end of the Mexican-American War through its statehood in 1912. The practice crossed cultures: Native Americans, Mexican Americans, Mexicans, and whites kidnapped and held one another captive. Victoria Smith's narrative history of the practice of taking captives in early Arizona shows how this phenomenon held Arizonans of all races in uneasy bondage that chafed social relations during the era. It also maps the social complex that accompanied captivity, a complex that included orphans, childlessness, acculturation, racial constructions, redemption, reintegration, intermarriage, and issues of heredity and environment. ø This in-depth work offers an absorbing account of decades of seizure and kidnapping and of the different ?captivity systems? operating within Arizona.øBy focusing on the stories of those taken captive?young women, children, the elderly, and the disabled, all of whom are often missing from southwestern history?Captive Arizona, 1851?1900 complicates and enriches the early social history of Arizona and of the American West.

Book Synopsis Our Bessie by : Rosa Nouchette Carey
Download or read book Our Bessie written by Rosa Nouchette Carey and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2021-04-25 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people under similar circumstances would have used stronger expressions, would have bemoaned themselves loudly, or at least inwardly, with all the pathos of self-pity. To be nearly at the end of one's journey, almost within sight and sound of home fires and home welcomes, and then to be snowed up, walled, imprisoned, kept in durance vile in an unexpected snowdrift—well, most human beings, unless gifted with angelic patience, and armed with special and peculiar fortitude, would have uttered a few groans under such depressing circumstances. Fortunately, Bessie Lambert was not easily depressed. She was a cheerful young person, an optimist by nature; and, thanks to a healthy organization, good digestion, and wholesome views of duty, was not given to mental nightmares, nor to cry out before she was hurt.

What roadblocks did Bessie, a young African-American woman, run into when attempting to bring up these two marvelous white children as her own daughters, along with her own biological daughter? For a while, no one seemed to care one way or the other, that is, until time had passed and the girls matured into their preteen years. When one of them displayed surprising athletic prowess, others became concerned. Was it racial motivation or greed that suddenly brought the human roaches out of the woodwork in an attempt to snatch the girls away from Bessie? Mom and her daughters faced steep odds in a rather bizarre court setting, but they managed to beat those odds, and the family continued to grow and thrive. This adorable and creative family eventually became darlings of the entire community. In time, the girls were referred to as the angels from the valley. But in life, sometimes, before you can become an angel, you have to experience hell. Sometimes, even angels have to cry. How does a family (or, for that matter, an entire community) react when hell raises its ugly head? This is an easy read as you navigate through the many unexpected twists and turns, some of them enlightening and still others extremely unpleasant.
