Download or read book Old Main Burning written by Joe Woods and published by Publishamerica Incorporated. This book was released on 2005-12 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 22, 1959, Old Main Dormitory at Mississippi State University was home to 1,100 college students. But early on Friday morning, January 23rd, the students were homeless. Old Main was ablaze and the ruins of the largest student housing facility in the United States would later produce the charred body of one of its own. Extremely cold weather, final exams, and students gone home for semester break contributed to the very difficult task and seemingly endless confusion of trying to confirm that all residents of Old Main had escaped the devastating blaze. After three days of investigation, evidence pointed to the strong possibility that the fire had been deliberately set. Searchers found a human skull in the smoldering rubble. The crushed skull was not the result of the fire, a fall or failed escape. It appeared to be murder. Had the fire been deliberately set to cover up a murder? How in the world does college life lead to murder and arson? The investigation leads to the upscale social circles of the Deep South, influenced by big city visitors and money. Beneath the surface of this seemingly slow-paced, innocent college life lies the true story of Old Main Burning.

Book Synopsis Dreamland Burning by : Jennifer Latham
Download or read book Dreamland Burning written by Jennifer Latham and published by Hachette+ORM. This book was released on 2016-01-26 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling dual-narrated tale from Jennifer Latham that questions how far we've come with race relations. Some bodies won't stay buried. Some stories need to be told. When seventeen-year-old Rowan Chase finds a skeleton on her family's property, she has no idea that investigating the brutal century-old murder will lead to a summer of painful discoveries about the present and the past. Nearly one hundred years earlier, a misguided violent encounter propels seventeen-year-old Will Tillman into a racial firestorm. In a country rife with violence against blacks and a hometown segregated by Jim Crow, Will must make hard choices on a painful journey towards self discovery and face his inner demons in order to do what's right the night Tulsa burns. Through intricately interwoven alternating perspectives, Jennifer Latham's lightning-paced page-turner brings the Tulsa race riot of 1921 to blazing life and raises important questions about the complex state of US race relations--both yesterday and today.
Book Synopsis Young Men and Fire by : Norman MacLean
Download or read book Young Men and Fire written by Norman MacLean and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Book Critics Circle Award Winner: “The terrifying story of the worst disaster in the history of the US Forest Service’s elite Smokejumpers.” —Kirkus Reviews A devastating and lyrical work of nonfiction, Young Men and Fire describes the events of August 5, 1949, when a crew of fifteen of the US Forest Service’s elite airborne firefighters, the Smokejumpers, stepped into the sky above a remote forest fire in the Montana wilderness. Two hours after their jump, all but three of the men were dead or mortally burned. Haunted by these deaths for forty years, Norman Maclean puts together the scattered pieces of the Mann Gulch tragedy in this extraordinary book. Alongside Maclean’s now-canonical A River Runs Through It and Other Stories, Young Men and Fire is recognized today as a classic of the American West. This edition of Maclean’s later triumph—the last book he would write—includes a powerful new foreword by Timothy Egan, author of The Big Burn and The Worst Hard Time. As moving and profound as when it was first published, Young Men and Fire honors the literary legacy of a man who gave voice to an essential corner of the American soul. “A moving account of humanity, nature, and the perseverance of the human spirit.” —Library Journal “Haunting.” —The Wall Street Journal “Engrossing.” —Publishers Weekly

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this wrenching sequel to Divided We Fall, Danny and friends fight to defend Idaho against a Federal takeover and the ravages of a Burning Nation. At the end of Divided We Fall, Danny Wright's beloved Idaho had been invaded by the federal government, their electricity shut off, their rights suspended. Danny goes into hiding with his friends in order to remain free. But after the state declares itself a Republic, Idaho rises to fight in a second American Civil War, and Danny is right in the center of the action, running guerrilla missions with his fellow soldiers to break the Federal occupation. Yet what at first seems like a straightforward battle against governmental repression quickly grows more complicated, as more states secede, more people die, and Danny discovers the true nature of some of his new allies. Chilling, powerful, and all too plausible, Burning Nation further establishes Trent Reedy as a provocative new voice in YA fiction.

Download or read book Troubled Hero written by Randy K. Mills and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2006-09-21 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Kenneth Kays was born in the conservative farm country of southern Illinois. The sixties were in full flower by the time Ken went off to college and discovered a world quite different from the one back home. On campus, drug culture flourished and the Vietnam War had polarized students. College meant a draft exemption, but in spring of 1969 Kays flunked out of school and soon received his draft notification. Denied conscientious objector status, he fled to Canada only to return. Yielding at last to pressure from family and community leaders, he joined up." "In deference to his nonviolent beliefs, the Army assigned him to a medical unit; he refused to carry a weapon. On May 7, 1970, after only seventeen days in Vietnam and just one day after joining a new platoon, the young medic found himself in a ferocious fire fight. Kays' actions at Fire Support Base Maureen would bring him the nation's highest award for military valor. The fighting that night at FSB Maureen was four hours of terrifying chaos. Seven men died. Yet it was just another unheralded skirmish toward the end of a long and fruitless war. Kays returned home with little fanfare and, with other vets, struggled to reconcile his anti-war beliefs and what he and others had done in Vietnam."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis The Lumbee Indians by : Malinda Maynor Lowery
Download or read book The Lumbee Indians written by Malinda Maynor Lowery and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2018-08-01 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jamestown, the Lost Colony of Roanoke, and Plymouth Rock are central to America's mythic origin stories. Then, we are told, the main characters--the "friendly" Native Americans who met the settlers--disappeared. But the history of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina demands that we tell a different story. As the largest tribe east of the Mississippi and one of the largest in the country, the Lumbees have survived in their original homelands, maintaining a distinct identity as Indians in a biracial South. In this passionately written, sweeping work of history, Malinda Maynor Lowery narrates the Lumbees' extraordinary story as never before. The Lumbees' journey as a people sheds new light on America's defining moments, from the first encounters with Europeans to the present day. How and why did the Lumbees both fight to establish the United States and resist the encroachments of its government? How have they not just survived, but thrived, through Civil War, Jim Crow, the civil rights movement, and the war on drugs, to ultimately establish their own constitutional government in the twenty-first century? Their fight for full federal acknowledgment continues to this day, while the Lumbee people's struggle for justice and self-determination continues to transform our view of the American experience. Readers of this book will never see Native American history the same way.
