Download or read book My Father's Gun written by Brian McDonald and published by Plume Books. This book was released on 2000 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this powerful memoir about three generations of New York City policemen, Brian McDonald chronicles a hundred years of dedication, disillusion, heroism, and tragedy behind the blue wall of silence that separates a cop from the rest of the world. His grandfather, Thomas Skelly, entered the department in 1893, when the NYPD was little more than a brutal gang of organized enforcers and Tammany Hall a corrupt political machine that could make or break an honest cop's career. His father Frank's career would span World War II through the 1960s, taking him from street cop to squad commander of the Forty-first Precinct. Better known as "Fort Apache", it was a place from which few cops emerged whole. His brother Frank McDonald, Jr., went on to become a decorated officer, waging an undercover war on drugs and crime. From turn-of-the-century Brooklyn to the South Bronx in the 1970s to the bedroom communities of upstate New York, My Father's Gun combines a rare and intimate family story with turbulent social history.

Book Synopsis Stories from My Father’s Barbershop by : Joe David Garner Jr.
Download or read book Stories from My Father’s Barbershop written by Joe David Garner Jr. and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-06-07 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BARBERSHOPS have long been the social hub of the neighborhood. Here, men gather to swap tales, debate politics, and share memories. For Joe David Garner Jr., soaking up the stories of such men in his father’s Mississippi barbershop served as a pivotal part of his childhood. A compendium of witty, amusing, and sometimes tragic tales, Stories from My Father’s Barbershop relates anecdotes from six men who regularly congregated in Garner Sr.’s barbershop. Spanning the early 1900s to the 1970s, these tales return to rural Mississippi at a time when educational, economic, and political barriers—including the Jim Crow laws—had a significant impact on these men’s lives. Colorful characters bring these stories to vivid life. There’s Ward Ellis, son of two poor sharecroppers and considered by many to be a genius; gambling buddies Bender Giles and Ralph Henson, who almost lost it all; college-educated Vernon Nevins, who embarks on the road trip of a lifetime; and William Walker, who rose from poverty to become a highly successful businessman. Through the power of storytelling, Stories from My Father’s Barbershop provides a rich, multifaceted look at the American South during some of its most turbulent times.

Book excerpt: We got a live one! Muted footsteps moved closer. The sound of heavy breathing followed. I couldnt move. Every muscle in my body ached and screamed in pain. I could feel the presence of people around me, but I still couldnt fi nd enough strength in me to open my eyes. How bad? Bad. Something pried my eyelids open. I could see the dark sky above me. Nothing but black dust. Four large people sat around my body. All were dressed in bulky white suits so that they werent exposed to the outside air. And here I was lying in the dirt vulnerable and hurt. I couldnt see their eyes through the helmets they wore, but I knew they were all looking at me. Suddenly, there was a fl ash of white light; then I was plunged back into the dark. My eyes had fallen closed again. What do we do? Theres no room left in the truck for the half dead. We need to find survivors. Leave her. It doesnt look like it has much longer anyway. The voice held authority. What about the boy? Been dead for days. Lets go. Their footsteps moved away, but there was still a presence left behind. It was eerily silent other than my ragged breathing. Then came the sound of a gun loading, and cocking. Slowly, I found it in me to open my eyes. With my eyes half open, I stared at the man above me. The white suit he wore reminded me of a spaceman. He had a gun in his hand, and it was pointed down at me. He was a soldier. Working for what government was left after the apocalypse of WW3. I was a survivor, a part of a resistance group, living in the destroyed remains of the city. We stood against everything they stood for and for that we had become a problem. We should have shot each other dead on sight...but fate had other plans for us...

Download or read book Saqiyuq written by Nancy Wachowich and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2001 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saqiyuq is the name the Inuit give to a strong wind that suddenly shifts direction; Saqiyuq: Stories from the Lives of Three Inuit Women is a vivid portrait of the changing nature of life in the Arctic during the twentieth century. Through their life stories a grandmother, daughter, and granddaughter take us on a remarkable journey in which the cycles of life -- childhood, adolescence, marriage, birthing and child rearing - are presented against the contrasting experiences of three successive generations. Their memories and reflections give us poignant insight into the history of the people of the new territory of Nunavut. Apphia Awa, who was born in 1931, experienced the traditional life on the land while Rhoda Katsak, Apphia's daughter, was part of the transitional generation who were sent to government schools. In contrast to both, Sandra Katsak, Rhoda's daughter, has grown up in the settlement of Pond Inlet among the conveniences and tensions of contemporary northern communities - video games and coffee shops but also drugs and alcohol. During the last years of Apphia's life Rhoda and Sandra began working to reconnect to their traditional culture and learn the art of making traditional skin clothing. Through the storytelling in Saqiyuq, Apphia, Rhoda, and Sandra explore the transformations that have taken place in the lives of the Inuit and chart the struggle of the Inuit to reclaim their traditional practices and integrate them into their lives. Nancy Wachowich became friends with Rhoda Katsak and her family during the early 1990s and was able to record their stories before Apphia's death in 1996. Saqiyuq: Stories from the Lives of Three Inuit Women will appeal to everyone interested in the Inuit, the North, family bonds, and a good story.
