Download or read book Still More Brown County Stories written by George Monroe and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-08-14 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Normal 0 MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 About The Book Still More Brown County Stories Recollections and Collected Tales The purpose of this book, like the two previous volumes of Brown County Stories, is to share some of the fun and interesting things that happened when I lived in Brown County. Most of the stories were told to my five daughters around campfires and at many bedtime sessions as they were growing up. After several years of story times I was once obliged to let my youngest daughter, Abby Monroe, know that I had told her everything I could remember or even make up. Her response was, “OK, just start over.” The various accounts of these uncommon experiences were reinforced for Abby and her older sisters as they visited their grandmother in Nashville, the County Seat of Brown County. From that base, they were able to explore the territory where the stories took place. This volume includes some stories that were recently shared with me by friends who felt they would help to illustrate what Brown County was like in the good old days. They are as true as creative memories have allowed. They also provide additional support for the maxim that truth is often stranger than fiction

And Story is just one reason to visit Brown County, also known as "the Art Colony of the Midwest." Amid forests, rolling hills, and winding country roads, charming Nashville is home to more than 120 shops, art galleries, and artists' studios and neighbors two villages quaintly named Gnawbone and Bean Blossom.

Book excerpt: ONE AVERAGE BUT DETERMINED WOMAN SETS OUT TO SHAKE UP THE JUSTICE SYSTEM IN THE NAME OF SIX WRONGFULLY CONVICTED MEN. The 1992 death of mill worker, Tom Monfils, and the resulting trial of six men accused of his murder shocked a community. In 2009, Joan read a factual book about the case which sent her on a mission to seek justice for these men. Realizing a deep emotional connection to them, she ignites the interest of a retired crime scene expert/private investigator who initiates a reinvestigation. Reclaiming Lives provides an uncomplicated examination of our nation's criminal justice system. Its overall message validates truths in the face of adversity, delivers hope where there was none, and demonstrates the capacity to overcome insurmountable obstacles. As of April 30, 2021, the National Registry of Exonerations reports that some 2,776 actually innocent, but wrongly convicted, individuals in the U.S. have been exonerated since 1989. As "Reclaiming Lives" painfully reveals, however, this number represents only a fraction of the total number of actually innocent people who have been wrongly convicted since 1989, but not yet exonerated. Joan Treppa's dedicated, years-long effort to obtain justice for the "Monfils Six" defendants is testament to the inherent difficulty in overturning wrongful convictions, even when the evidence of actual innocence compellingly refutes the prosecution's case. "Reclaiming Lives" teaches the reader why it is not only critical to prevent wrongly convictions from occurring in the first instance but also why the criminal justice system must be far more willing than it has often been to correct these injustices after they are shown to have occurred. - Steve Kaplan, former post-conviction counsel for Keith Kutska.
Book Synopsis This Was Our Brown County Then by : Helen C. Ayers
Download or read book This Was Our Brown County Then written by Helen C. Ayers and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2022-10-06 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As far as I know, no one else has done such a book as this one giving the history of the whole of Brown County, so I did it myself with the help of Rhonda A. Dunn. I cover most of the happenings in Brown County for more than 220 years up until the present time. To do this I had to make the book into two parts, the older parts are from the 1800s and that section is called simply, THEN. The stories of what is in Brown County since that time but up to today, is simply called, NOW. Then when we added the new history center, we went to three parts for this book to keep it simple to keep the history together for easier handling and reading. Brown County has changed so much in 220 years that it is amazing. But most of what we are today is what we started from actually. I think you will find this to be true if you read the book in its entirety. Most of the early settlers were from the states of the Carolinas, Virginias, Ohio and Kentucky. Many of those people or their offspring are still here today but we are having an influx of what some call “furriners” today. People today come from the cities to visit, decide they like it here as much as we do and buy up a piece of land and build a log home and stay here. It takes all kinds to make a homogenous group. I think we have done our best to accomplish that. So, pull yourself up a chair, grab a cup of coffee or iced tea, and set a spell and read all about us in this first ever fairly complete history of Brown County. Ya’ll come back now, ya hear!!
Book Synopsis History of the Brown County Minnesota Poor Farm 1870 to 1965 by : Elroy Ubl

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forty years ago they didn't call it welfare. It was mother's pension, commissioners' relief, old age pension, or the county poor farm. The first three gave monthly payments or picked up bills for living expenses. But the last alternative meant a move to the solid brick two-storied structure along the Cottonwood River at the south end of New Ulm--the Brown County Poor Farm. Circa 1870 to 1965. In 1907, the second of the Brown County Poor Farms was build at a cost of $18,000.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the early 1900s through the 1940s, the scenic hill country of Brown County, Indiana, was home to a flourishing colony of artists who migrated there from urban areas of the Midwest. Now back in print, The Artists of Brown County, first published in 1994, is the classic book on the history of this remarkable art colony.Following an introduction to "Peaceful Valley," as the area was affectionately called, chapters are devoted to 16 of the artists, including three couples: T. C. Steele, Will Vawter, Gustave Baumann, Dale Bessire, the photographer Frank M. Hohenberger, Adolph Shulz and Ada Walter Shulz, L. O. Griffith, V. J. Cariani and Marie Goth, Carl C. Graf and Genevieve Goth Graf, Edward K. Williams, Georges LaChance, C. Curry Bohm, and Glen Cooper Henshaw. Lavish color reproductions of the artists' work accompany the biographical sketches. Rachel Berenson Perry's introduction places the Brown County art colony within the broader context of American regional art.

Download or read book Road Tales written by Steve Reed and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-12-22 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you're looking for a book to help you rebuild the brakes on a 1978 Honda CB 750 or adjust the carbs on a 1986 Yamaha Midnight Special, then this isn't the book for you. But if you are looking for a book that is an easy read or one that might be a good "rainy night in a motel" book, you've found it. Come along and join us as we wander some back roads, meet some unusual people, dine on some fine home cooking, and discover that adventure can be found almost anywhere. As you travel along on this journey, be prepared to shed a tear or two, smile more than once, recall some of your own "misadventures", and generally have a good time. "Road Tales" is about the essence of "being there", not the mechanics or skills of motorcycling. It's about listening to the rain on your helmet as you're trying to get home. It's about the song in your heart as you ride that perfect road. It's about the thrills and chills of being on a motorcycle and wondering what is waiting for you up ahead on the road. And it's about the smile on your face as you read it. A former columnist for "Motorcycle Tour and Cruiser" and "Road Bike" magazines, Steve Reed has logged thousands upon thousands of miles on various motorcycles. He seems to have a knack to find the unusual in the usual, the extraordinary in the commonplace, and the magic in the moment.
