Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book is a rare find. The author takes the reader on a myriad of real-life experiences and emotions. It is no wonder that the author has been chosen as the new Mark Twain by many circles. Have you ever heard of someone who has listened firsthand a person who lived through the civil war? The author has. Have you ever had to confront a close family member about a life-threatening habit? The author has. Have you ever dreamed of a storybook childhood riddled with unbridled happiness in one moment, with gut-wrenching emotions the next? The author has and writes it beautifully. This is a feel-good story from beginning to end. This is a Kleenex-nearby story. Imagine the exhilaration of a seventeen-year-old kid who simply hears and obeys his best friend, famous physician who happens to be his dad who's instructed the author how to deliver a baby. The author has...six times. Ride with the author as he takes you along with his trusty rifle and his ever-faithful German shepherd dog named Fella as they frolic through the deep woods of rural Mississippi. This was a tumultuous time for our history. During the 1960s and 1970s, when civil unrest was not the exception, it was the norm. Have you ever consoled a friend, whose skin happened to be black, when a field close by his home had just been burned by the KKK? The author has. Have you ever been scared for your life in the present of an operational alcohol-producing still? The author has. Have you ever had an ever-faithful companion who happened to have four legs? This dog is nothing short of amazing. He is a trusted friend and ally for an entire decade. He defends and keeping it ever closer to watch her brother. He is a well-trained German shepherd, willing and able to do his master's bidding. Have you ever seen up close and personal racial injustice an inequality? The author has. Have you ever stood by a close friend who was a man of color, wow he was being spit upon, and scorned simply because of the color of his skin? The author has. The author has a knack for getting underneath your fingernails and scratching a chalkboard with them while you are enjoying the pain. He has a rare gift, setting himself apart from most other authors. What rare find it is when one can enjoy the variety of stories, experiences, and emotions found in one book. This is truly a gift. Enjoy!

Book Synopsis Mississippi Barking by : Chris McLaughlin
Download or read book Mississippi Barking written by Chris McLaughlin and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2021-08-26 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On August 29, 2005, the worst natural disaster in the history of the United States devastated the city of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast of Louisiana and Mississippi. Like many others in America and around the world, Chris McLaughlin watched the tragedy of Katrina unfold on a television screen from the comfort of her living room on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. In the devastation afterwards, almost 2,000 people and an estimated 250,000 animals had perished. Miraculously, many pets did manage to survive. But in the months that followed the hurricane, thousands of them were fending for themselves in the ruins of devastated neighborhoods. They roamed the streets in feral packs or struck out alone. Their plight triggered a grassroots rescue effort unlike any this country had ever seen, and while relief organizations such as the Red Cross were tending to the human survivors, and movie stars and celebrities were airlifting food and endorsing seven-figure checks, a much smaller and meagerly funded effort was underway to save the four-legged victims. With no prior experience in disaster response and no real grasp of the hell that awaited them, scores of animal lovers, including McLaughlin, made their way to the Gulf Coast to help in any way they could. Including photos from four-time Pulitzer Prize–winning photojournalist Carol Guzy, Mississippi Barking spans the course of two years as McLaughlin and others ventured into the wreckage of the Gulf Coast to rescue the animals left behind. McLaughlin tells the moving stories of the people she met along the way, both those who lost everything to the hurricane and those working beside her rescuing and transporting animals away from the neglected, derelict conditions in which they barely survived. Within this story of tragedy and cruelty, suffering and ignorance, Mississippi Barking also bears witness to selfless acts of bravery and compassion, and the beauty and heroics of those who risked everything to save the animals that could not save themselves.

Download or read book The Mississippi Cookbook written by and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2010-06-30 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mississippi Cookbook was prepared in an attempt to collect, make available, and thus preserve the favorite recipes of fine cooks throughout Mississippi. Over 7,000 recipes were collected from all areas of the state. From this total, the home economists of the state Cooperative Extension Service had the painfully difficult task of screening the amount down to the 1,200 best recipes. The names of the individuals who submitted follow each recipe and, in some cases, historical data about the dish is included. A special section includes favorite recipes of the wives of former governors. The appendices feature tables and charts that provide such valuable technical information as substitutions and equivalents, measuring ingredients, time and temperature guides, definitions, and servings. This comprehensive collection of Mississippi's most popular recipes records the state's culinary heritage and its mastery of home cooking.
Book Synopsis Delta Jewels by : Alysia Burton Steele
Download or read book Delta Jewels written by Alysia Burton Steele and published by Center Street. This book was released on 2015-04-07 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by memories of her beloved grandmother, photographer and author Alysia Burton Steele -- picture editor on a Pulitzer Prize-winning team -- combines heart-wrenching narrative with poignant photographs of more than 50 female church elders in the Mississippi Delta. These ordinary women lived extraordinary lives under the harshest conditions of the Jim Crow era and during the courageous changes of the Civil Rights Movement. With the help of local pastors, Steele recorded these living witnesses to history and folk ways, and shares the significance of being a Black woman -- child, daughter, sister, wife, mother, and grandmother in Mississippi -- a Jewel of the Delta. From the stand Mrs. Tennie Self took for her marriage to be acknowledged in the phone book, to the life-threatening sacrifice required to vote for the first time, these 50 inspiring portraits are the faces of love and triumph that will teach readers faith and courage in difficult times.

Book excerpt: Mississippi Sissy is the stunning memoir from Kevin Sessums, a celebrity journalist who grew up scaring other children, hiding terrible secrets, pretending to be Arlene Frances and running wild in the South. As he grew up in Forest, Mississippi, befriended by the family maid, Mattie May, he became a young man who turned the word "sissy" on its head, just as his mother taught him. In Jackson, he is befriended by Eudora Welty and journalist Frank Hains, but when Hains is brutally murdered in his antebellum mansion, Kevin's long road north towards celebrity begins. In his memoir, Kevin Sessums brings to life the pungent American south of the 1960s and the world of the strange little boy who grew there. "Kevin Sessums is some sort of cockeyed national treasure.” —Michael Cunningham

Book Synopsis American Dreams in Mississippi by : Ted Ownby
Download or read book American Dreams in Mississippi written by Ted Ownby and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2002-10-15 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dreams of abundance, choice, and novelty that have fueled the growth of consumer culture in the United States would seem to have little place in the history of Mississippi--a state long associated with poverty, inequality, and rural life. But as Ted Ownby demonstrates in this innovative study, consumer goods and shopping have played important roles in the development of class, race, and gender relations in Mississippi from the antebellum era to the present. After examining the general and plantation stores of the nineteenth century, a period when shopping habits were stratified according to racial and class hierarchies, Ownby traces the development of new types of stores and buying patterns in the twentieth century, when women and African Americans began to wield new forms of economic power. Using sources as diverse as store ledgers, blues lyrics, and the writings of William Faulkner, Eudora Welty, Richard Wright, and Will Percy, he illuminates the changing relationships among race, rural life, and consumer goods and, in the process, offers a new way to understand the connection between power and culture in the American South.
