Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Giant of the Blue Ridge The Giant of the Blue Ridge Ike Huck was in his blacksmith shop (Perched on the snow-bound mountain top) - A sooty den it was, like lair Of beast within a coal mine bare. From the rude forge a lurid light Reveals his presence to the sight. Great is his height; his eyes that dream Seem downward to the fire to stream; Like knotted rope the muscles stand Upon his folded arm and hand. Here on the mountain he had grown To greater strength than man had known, Yet dense his ignorance - the bear As much of letters knew. Yet there Were moments when with flood of pain Great knowledge came to knock in vain; Then sonant beatings of his heart, Like hammer on the iron dart, Seemed urging him to some wild deed, Suggesting some Icarian creed. And paean in his brain would ring Of thought beyond his uttering. A knock resounded on the door, He stepped across the grimy floor. A stranger entered; it was cold; His coat was thick, his bearing bold. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motorcyclists who think they have the mountains of Virginia and West Virginia all figured out have another thing coming. In his third guide, Hawk Hagebak takes riders from bustling Market Square in downtown Roanoke, VA to the giant ridgetop windmills outside rural Davis, WV, and from the scenic wonder of the Natural Bridge to the engineering wonder of the New River Bridge. Outlining 25 routes, Hagebak chronicles a classic feud over a county seat, how French engineers came to build a road across Virginia, and the way coal mining changed the face of West Virginia for better and for worse. In between the tight turns, sweeping curves, covered bridges, tiny towns, and mountain passes of the Central Appalachians, he imparts tips on where to eat, stay, play, and relax.

Book excerpt: Making moonshine, working blue-collar jobs, picking fights in bars, chasing women, and living hardscrabble lives . . . Clayton and Saford Hall were born in the backwoods of Virginia in 1919, in a place known as The Hollow. Incredibly, they became legends in their day, rising from mountain-bred poverty to pickin’ and yodelin’ all over the airwaves of the South in the 1930s and 1940s, opening shows for the Carter Family, Roy Rogers, the Sons of the Pioneers, and even playing the most coveted stage of all: the Grand Ole Opry. They accomplished a lifetime’s worth of achievements in less than five years—and left behind only a few records to document their existence. Fortunately, Ralph Berrier, Jr., the grandson of Clayton Hall and a reporter for the Roanoke Times, brings us their full story for the first time in IF TROUBLE DON'T KILL ME. He documents how the twins’ music spread like wildfire when they moved from The Hollow to Roanoke at age twenty, and how their popularity was inflamed by their onstage zaniness, their roguish offstage shenanigans, and, above all, their ability to play old-time country music. But just as they arrived on the brink of major fame, World War II dashed their dreams. Berrier follows the Hall twins as they travel overseas, leaving behind their beloved music, and are thrust into the cauldron of a war that reshaped their lives and destinies. Through the brothers’ experiences, the story of World War II unfolds—Saford fought from the shores of North Africa to Sicily and Europe and finally into Germany; Clayton fought the Japanese in the brutal Pacific theater until the savage, final battle on Okinawa. They returned home after the war to find that the world had changed, music had changed . . . and they had, too. IF TROUBLE DON'T KILL ME paints a loving portrait of a vanishing yet exalted southern culture, shows us the devastating consequences of war, and allows us to experience the mountain voices that not only influenced the history of music but that also shaped the landscape of America.

Download or read book Blue Moon Investigations: Case Files 10-12 written by Steve Higgs and published by stevehiggsbooks. This book was released on 2019-10-25 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paranormal? It's all nonsense, but proving might just get them killed. Delve into a world where supernatural crimes are investigated by two detectives standing alone to protect those that call on them. In the brooding, dark landscape of England, with its rolling hills and forgotten castles, the dark breeds evil in every shadow. Or stupid, some of them definitely just contain stupid. With millions of pages read and thousands of books sold, the Blue Moon paranormal investigation series will grip you from the start and rob you of sleep as you continue turning pages until well after your bedtime. It is action-packed, but funny, fast-paced yet intriguing and there are 15 stories already written. Get the third instalment of case files and 3 excitement-filled stories in this omnibus edition and save a pile against buying them individually. Paws of the Yeti - When he is called to investigate a Yeti attack in the French Alps, Tempest Michaels is certain it will just be another fool in a costume - He's going to solve the case in five minutes and spend a few days skiing. Yay! Guess again. The mountain, the locals, and above all, the Yeti, have other plans in mind. With the Dachshunds doing their best to avoid the cold and Big Ben distracted by the abundant snow bunnies on offer, Tempest is in for a tougher test than he expected. Under a Blue Moon – The origin story. Wonder how this all came about? When a newspaper ad typo sends all manner of daft paranormal enquiries his way, P.I. Tempest Michaels has no sense of the trouble and danger heading his way. In no time at all, he has multiple cases to investigate, but it's all ridiculous nonsense like minor celebrity Richard Claythorn, who believes he is being stalked by a werewolf and a shopkeeper in a nearby village with an invisible thief. Night Work - For Jane Butterworth the paranormal is just a day job. She works as the assistant at the Blue Moon Investigation Agency, a firm that specialises in cases that no one else will take, cases that start at strange and unexplainable and tier rapidly south from there. Bodies of dead cops have been showing up in nearby Biddenden Lake, the site of an unexplained death three years ago. Is there a link between that death and these? The whole area is steeped in ancient history, ghost stories are two-a-penny here but is she really cut out to be a detective? There's no one else to take the case so it's time to put her big girl pants on. Praise for the Blue Moon Investigation series and Steve Higgs: 'Be prepared to struggle with getting anything else done, as you will want to keep reading.' 'Supernatural overtones with a hint of sexual tension, interspersed with humor make this a fantastic book.' 'Truly delightful tales of mystery and misadventure.' 'Higgs is a wonderful author with great character development which includes an enticing cast of misfits.' 'A great crime comedy with a group of zany characters. I really enjoyed the book and look forward to the next one. Highly recommended!' 'Higgs makes everything and everyone come alive.'
