Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Rogues and Rascals Bob Kroll tells more than 200 true tales of our maritime ancestors, and introduces us to heroes, failures, and murderers who bring the everyday history of the Maritimes to vivid life. With tales from the 1700s through the mid-twentieth century, there are plenty of good starting points--a crime-ridden town on Prince Edward Island where residents take justice into their own hands; a daring escape from the Nova Scotia penitentiary; the tale of a New Brunswicker who smuggles tea for fun and profit; or a captain whose ill-timed fit of laughter lands his entire crew in prison. Interesting, and unusual, these historical anecdotes present a window into the feats and follies of Maritimers of the past. Bob Kroll has been writing for the broadcast industry for more than thirty years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it . . . When seventeen year-old Jasper is approached at the funeral of his deadbeat father by a man claiming to be an associate of his deceased parents, he’s thrust into a world of secrets tied to America’s history—and he’s right at the heart of it. First, Jasper finds out he is the sole surviving descendant of Benedict Arnold, the most notorious traitor in American history. Then he learns that his father’s death was no accident. Jasper is at the center of a war that has been going on for centuries, in which the descendants of the heroes and traitors of the American Revolution still duel to the death for the sake of their honor. His only hope to escape his dangerous fate on his eighteenth birthday? Take up the research his father was pursuing at the time of his death, to clear Arnold’s name. Whisked off to a boarding school populated by other descendants of notorious American traitors, it’s a race to discover the truth. But if Jasper doesn’t find a way to uncover the evidence his father was hunting for, he may end up paying for the sins of his forefathers with his own life. Like a mash-up of National Treasure and Hamilton, Matthew Landis’s debut spins the what-ifs of American history into a heart-pounding thriller steeped in conspiracy, clue hunting, and danger.

Many have written about the YAT language, but no one ever mentions the “true” reason why the name YAT came to be applied to our New Orleans speech.

Book Synopsis From the Hood to Hollywood by : Debra J Carroll
Download or read book From the Hood to Hollywood written by Debra J Carroll and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-09-14 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Mark Wahlberg shot to stardom in 1991, his buddy Donny Carroll was right there along the way. They grew up in Dorchester, a tough inner city neighborhood in Boston, where friendships were tight. Donny worked as Mark's personal assistant since the beginning of Mark's Hollywood career. Being part of Mark's real life entourage is what inspired Donny's original idea "to do a show about the entourage." "If Mark's fans only knew some of the things they did!"This story is about how Mark Wahlberg betrayed his 'so-called' best friend Donny Carroll. This is my attempt to set the record straight so that people will know the real story behind the "Entourage."Donny, aka "Donkey" was the inspiration for Entourage's 'Turtle' character, yet he never received any credit or the recognition he deserved for his creative role in the hit series. Hollywood is not all glitz and glamour. There is a dark side that one can only learn about firsthand.
Book Synopsis The End and the Beginning by : Hermynia Zur Mühlen
Download or read book The End and the Beginning written by Hermynia Zur Mühlen and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2010 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in Germany in 1929, The End and the Beginning is a lively personal memoir of a vanished world and of a rebellious, high-spirited young woman's struggle to achieve independence. Born in 1883 into a distinguished and wealthy aristocratic family of the old Austro-Hungarian Empire, Hermynia Zur Muhlen spent much of her childhood travelling in Europe and North Africa with her diplomat father. After five years on her German husband's estate in czarist Russia she broke with both her family and her husband and set out on a precarious career as a professional writer committed to socialism. Besides translating many leading contemporary authors, notably Upton Sinclair, into German, she herself published an impressive number of politically engaged novels, detective stories, short stories, and children's fairy tales. Because of her outspoken opposition to National Socialism, she had to flee her native Austria in 1938 and seek refuge in England, where she died, virtually penniless, in 1951. This revised and corrected translation of Zur Muhlen's memoir - with extensive notes and an essay on the author by Lionel Gossman - will appeal especially to readers interested in women's history, the Central European aristocratic world that came to an end with the First World War, and the culture and politics of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
