Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his Reflections of an Ole Alabama Country Boy, Alabama native son Jesse H. Merrell delights us with the unforgettable characters he knew growing up in Shelby, regaling us with absorbing tales of wit and wisdom, leaping out at you with lifelike clarity. You'll meet his Senior-Citizen Tarzan, who scrambled up a tree when he was ninety years old to cut off a limb he didn't like hanging over his house, and Jess Jones, who said if one professed Christian went to heaven "we might as well plow up hell and set it out in collard greens." The author introduces you to such delightful characters as Biscuit Eatin' Hughes, who popped down sixty-five biscuits in one sitting, and the Autry boys, who wanted to "be buried in a chestnut coffin so they could go to hell a-poppin'." But he saves his most colorful description for his Uncle John Morris, the most unforgettable character he ever met, who sparkled with a language like no other person you've ever seen or heard of. His remarkable wit and wisdom will leave you alternating between laughter and tears, especially on the sad, hot July day Uncle John receives a fateful telegram. You'll have a ringside seat when the MacDonald clan's backwoods wit wrestles with killing Uncle Bob's hog or how the game warden fails to trap Blue Barnes for killing does, and when Blue hilariously tells you how he outran the fleet-footed revenuer at his moonshine still. We feel sure you will thoroughly enjoy these captivating reflections of an ole Alabama country boy! You will also see why many feel it is destined to become a bestseller.

Book excerpt: Stories of an Old-Time Southern Boyhood... Born on a frosty morn deep in the heart of Dixie, H. Bryan Parris experienced a way of life that most of us will never know. He grew up in Southern country, in a small community near Jacksonville, Alabama. He can trace his family tree back for generations, and the rock from which he was hewn is solid and true: hard-working, honest folks to whom family ties and personal integrity were the most important things in their lives. Reflections in Time shares anecdotes and life lessons from the Parris family, ranging from the hilarious to the tragic, with plenty of thought-provoking memories and observations about life. Take a journey down memory lane to meet a stepmother who generously opened her heart; witness a chilling incident of backwoods justice; run through the woods and fields with the Parris family hunting dogs; and sit on the hood of a teenager's car, listening to Rock-n-Roll and drinking Cherry Coke. You'll be enlightened and entertained by these true tales of real people facing hard times, and learning life lessons that can't be taught in any school.

Eig’s book is worthy of its subject.” —Dwight Garner, The New York Times (Editors’ Choice) “[King is] infused with the narrative energy of a thriller . . . The most compelling account of King’s life in a generation.” —Mark Whitaker, The Washington Post “No book could be more timely than Jonathan Eig’s sweeping and majestic new King . . . Eig has created 2023′s most vital tome.” —Will Bunch, The Philadelphia Inquirer Hailed by The New York Times as “the new definitive biography,” King mixes revelatory new research with accessible storytelling to offer an MLK for our times. Vividly written and exhaustively researched, Jonathan Eig’s King: A Life is the first major biography in decades of the civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.—and the first to include recently declassified FBI files. In this revelatory new portrait of the preacher and activist who shook the world, the bestselling biographer gives us an intimate view of the courageous and often emotionally troubled human being who demanded peaceful protest for his movement but was rarely at peace with himself. He casts fresh light on the King family’s origins as well as MLK’s complex relationships with his wife, father, and fellow activists. King reveals a minister wrestling with his own human frailties and dark moods, a citizen hunted by his own government, and a man determined to fight for justice even if it proved to be a fight to the death. As he follows MLK from the classroom to the pulpit to the streets of Birmingham, Selma, and Memphis, Eig dramatically re-creates the journey of a man who recast American race relations and became our only modern-day founding father—as well as the nation’s most mourned martyr. In this landmark biography, Eig gives us an MLK for our times: a deep thinker, a brilliant strategist, and a committed radical who led one of history’s greatest movements, and whose demands for racial and economic justice remain as urgent today as they were in his lifetime. Includes 8 pages of black-and-white photographs

Book excerpt: The metropolis has been the near exclusive focus of queer scholars and queer cultures in America. Asking us to look beyond the cities on the coasts, Scott Herring draws a new map, tracking how rural queers have responded to this myopic mindset. Interweaving a wide range of disciplines—art, media, literature, performance, and fashion studies—he develops an extended critique of how metronormativity saturates LGBTQ politics, artwork, and criticism. To counter this ideal, he offers a vibrant theory of queer anti-urbanism that refuses to dismiss the rural as a cultural backwater. Impassioned and provocative, Another Country expands the possibilities of queer studies beyond its city limits. Herring leads his readers from faeries in the rural Midwest to photographs of white supremacists in the deep South, from Roland Barthes’s obsession with Parisian fashion to a graphic memoir by Alison Bechdel set in the Appalachian Mountains, and from cubist paintings in Lancaster County to lesbian separatist communes on the northern California coast. The result is an entirely original account of how queer studies can—and should—get to another country.

Book excerpt: This is the memoir of James C. Hormel—a man who grew up feeling different not only because his family owned the Hormel “empire” and lived in a twenty-six-bedroom house in a small Midwest town, but because he was gay at a time when homosexuality was not discussed or accepted. Outwardly he tried to live up to the life his father wanted for him—he was a successful professional, had married a lovely woman, and had children—but as vola-tile changes in the late 1960s impeded on the American psyche, Hormel realized that he could not hide his true self forever. Hormel moved to New York City, became an antiwar activist, battled homophobia, lost dear friends to AIDS, and set out to become America’s first openly gay ambassador, a position he finally won during the Clinton administration. Today, Hormel continues to fight for LGBT equality and gay marriage rights. This is a passionate and inspiring true story of the determination for human equality and for attaining your own version of the American Dream—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness without exception.

McCormack in 1890 as a small 5x8 sheet. It soon expanded to a traditional size but later suspended publication because the profit margin was too slim. No issues from that time were available for review. After a while, McCormack kept a promise to the people of Leighton and renewed publication of the News in 1894. Each issue was examined column by column with a view for capturing items of a genealogical interest such as reports of births, marriages, deaths, and obituaries. In addition, other clippings were transcribed having to do with the history of Colbert and Lawrence County, as well as the rest of the surrounding Tennessee Valley area."--Publisher's description
