Book excerpt: The house is free... Single mom, Molly Greene, is forced to close her Michelin star restaurant due to the Covid 19 pandemic. To escape the ghosts of her past and the high cost of city living, Molly moves the Greene family to the isolated town of Old Castle where they move into a 200-year-old stately farmhouse...which isn't quite vacant. The Greene family realise they've become unwitting participants in a macabre contest where the farmhouse is first prize...or is it? Little do they know they're sharing their house with a sinister squatter that lingers in the fireplace, and likes to come out and play when the sun goes down. In danger of financial ruin, Molly goes public about the ominous presence in the house, never considering the repercussions of her actions. ...but it comes with a price.
Book Synopsis Squatter's Republic by : Tamara Venit Shelton
Download or read book Squatter's Republic written by Tamara Venit Shelton and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2013-11-22 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who should have the right to own land, and how much of it? A Squatter's Republic follows the rise and fall of the land question in the Gilded AgeÑand the rise and fall of a particularly nineteenth-century vision of landed independence. More specifically, the author considers the land question through the anti-monopolist reform movements it inspired in late nineteenth-century California. The Golden State was a squatter's republicÑa society of white men who claimed no more land than they could use, and who promised to uphold agrarian republican ideals and resist monopoly, the nemesis of democracy. Their opposition to land monopoly became entwined with public discourse on Mexican land rights, industrial labor relations, immigration from China, and the rise of railroad and other corporate monopolies.

Download or read book The Squatter's Ward written by Edward S. Sorenson and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The Squatter's Ward' is an adventure novel written by Edward S. Sorenson. The story unfolds on a hot day in mid-December, so hot that the perspiration ran in little streams down the face of Richard Merton—familiarly known among his station hands as "Old Dick"—as he sat in a canvas-back chair in the coolest corner of the verandah. He was a middle-aged man of medium height; but his corpulent form made his legs appear exceedingly short. His thin, short-clipped beard was well sprinkled with gray, though he was yet a good many shakes of the leg under forty. His eyes were deep set, bright, piercing eyes, overshadowed by bushy brows that lent a sinister expression to his face.
Book Synopsis The Squatter's Dream by : Rolf Boldrewood
Download or read book The Squatter's Dream written by Rolf Boldrewood and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Squatter’s Dream (1875) is a novel by Rolf Boldrewood, the pseudonym of Australian novelist Thomas Browne. A squatter himself for nearly twenty-five years, he came to know the ways of life on the outskirts of civilization, which allowed him to lead a peaceful, uncomplicated, and inexpensive existence. Originally serialized in Australian weekly magazines, Browne’s work as Rolf Bolfrewood is an incomparable record of colonial Australia, where outlaws and speculators lived side by side on land stolen from the continent’s Aboriginal peoples. “The climate in which his abode was situated was temperate, from latitude and proximity to the coast. It was cold in the winter, but many a ton of she-oak and box had burned away in the great stone chimney, before which Jack used to toast himself in the cold nights, after a long day’s riding after cattle.” Jack Redgrave leads the kind of existence most men would dream of: a comfortable home, plenty of food, a beautiful property, and enough books to keep him curious about the world beyond the wilderness. Despite this, he begins to grow dissatisfied, dreaming of ways to increase his wealth and forgetting the reasons that first drew him to the squatting lifestyle. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Rolf Boldrewood’s The Squatter’s Dream is a classic work of Australian literature reimagined for modern readers.

Book Synopsis Prairie Bride; or, the Squatter's Triumph by : Chris Enss
Download or read book Prairie Bride; or, the Squatter's Triumph written by Chris Enss and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2006-07-01 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fight breaks out over a claim in this action-filled homesteading story. The hardships of covered wagon life, the danger of the prairie fire, and the romance of the young bride's new home made this a best-seller in 1869. One of the things that made dime novels so popular was the lurid cover art. These scandalous imaged caught the attention of readers and, indeed, the ellicit nature of the stories was most appealing. Publishers capitalized on the interests of young female readers, especially, bringing tales of strong, willful heroines to life between the cheap paper covers of these books.

Faced with losing his centuries old family estate to debt, Tom Hurstbourne headed to colonial Australia to make his fortune.

Brisbane Editors, Gloria Grant and Gerard Benjamin, transcribed the manuscript and wrote its introduction and contextual notes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jack Redgrave was a jolly, well-to-do young squatter, who, in the year 185—, had a very fair cattle station in one of the Australian colonies, upon which he lived in much comfort and reasonable possession of the minor luxuries of life. He had, in bush parlance, "taken it up" himself, when hardly more than a lad, had faced bad seasons, blacks, bush-fires, bushrangers, and bankers (these last he always said terrified him far more than the others), and had finally settled down into a somewhat too easy possession of a couple of thousand good cattle, a well-bred, rather fortunate stud, and a roomy, cool cottage with a broad verandah all covered with creepers...

Download or read book Ours to Lose written by Amy Starecheski and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-11-07 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The fascinating and little-known tale of the Lower East Side squatters of the Eighties . . . a radical, European-inspired housing movement” (The Village Voice). Though New York’s Lower East Side today is home to high-end condos and hip restaurants, it was for decades an infamous site of blight, open-air drug dealing, and class conflict—an emblematic example of the tattered state of 1970s and ’80s Manhattan. Those decades of strife, however, also gave the Lower East Side something unusual: a radical movement that blended urban homesteading and European-style squatting in a way never before seen in the United States. Ours to Lose tells the oral history of that movement through a close look at a diverse group of Lower East Side squatters who occupied abandoned city-owned buildings in the 1980s, fought to keep them for decades, and eventually began a long, complicated process to turn their illegal occupancy into legal cooperative ownership. Amy Starecheski here not only tells a little-known New York story, she also shows how property shapes our sense of ourselves as social beings and explores the ethics of homeownership and debt in post-recession America. “There are many books about the Lower East Side and its recent transformation, yet none has included engagement or oral history with primary organizers in the way Starecheski has. Ours to Lose is a unique and substantive contribution to our understanding of a most distinct practice in the shaping of urban space.” —Metropolitiques “What is significant is that the author demonstrates how some New Yorkers addressed the housing crisis in an unconventional manner. Recommended.” —Choice
