Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1930s in the United States, the Works Progress Administration developed the Federal Writers’ Project to support writers and artists while making a national effort to document the country’s shared history and culture. The American Guide series consists of individual guides to each of the states. Little-known authors—many of whom would later become celebrated literary figures—were commissioned to write these important books. John Steinbeck, Saul Bellow, Zora Neale Hurston, and Ralph Ellison are among the more than 6,000 writers, editors, historians, and researchers who documented this celebration of local histories. Photographs, drawings, driving tours, detailed descriptions of towns, and rich cultural details exhibit each state’s unique flavor. According to the WPA Guide to North Dakota, there is more to the Northern Prairie State than meets the eye. Primarily an agricultural state, cattle ranching and the pioneer spirit are ever-present in this guide. Also, beautiful photographs of the Great Plains make this a visually pleasing guide the Peace Garden State.

Book Synopsis The Legend of Baby Doe by : John Burke
Download or read book The Legend of Baby Doe written by John Burke and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1989-01-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her pulchritudinous prime Baby Doe was called the Silver Queen of Colorado by journalists and "that shameless hussy" by the proper wives of the men who eyed her. Flirtatious, adventurous, ambitious, Elizabeth McCourt Doe gave everyone a lot to talk about when she met Horace Tabor, the Silver King of Leadville, in 1880. Three years later they were free to legalize their passion. Although thirty years separated them, they were well matched in romantic recklessness. If The Legend of Baby Doe is the lowdown on the high jinks of two public lives, it is also the story of a love that survived spectacularly good times and bad. Before bad times came, Baby and Horace went on a spending spree. They built an opulent opera house in Denver and bought an Italian-ate villa. Baby Doe went out bejeweled and ermined, and sat at home alone, snubbed by the social dragons. John Burke has written about the giddy rise of a bonanza king who dreamed of entering the White House with Baby Doe on his arm and about the disastrous fall they took together. Wiped out by unwise investments and the Panic of 1893, Tabor soon died, leaving Baby Doe and their two daughters penniless. Reportedly, his deathbed order was to "hang on to the Matchless," a played-out mine filled with water. She managed to do that for almost four decades, struggling heroically against loneliness, poverty, and heartbreak, and becoming one of the great legends of the American West.

Book excerpt: Johnny Burke begins our story as an 18-year-old orphaned, homeless and delinquent youth roaming the hard-scrabble streets of Philadelphia's factory-filled, blue-collar Kensington neighborhood, struggling to survive during the decade following the end of WWII. Burke's milieu is the corner of Kensington and Allegheny Avenues, Kensington's main intersection, or K&A, as the locals have dubbed it; it is also the time of the genesis of what would later become known to press and police alike as the “K&A Gang”, originally a group of disaffected war vets and reform-school graduates, mostly of Irish-American descent, who would rise from street-fighting and stealing car batteries to become some of the most prosperous and proficient professional jewel thieves in America, plundering affluent suburbs from Maine to Florida and the Mid-and-Southwest of copious amounts of diamonds, furs, silverware, bearer bonds, and cash, for well over a decade. Burke's mentor and surrogate big brother at K&A is Billy “Willie” Sears, a rock-jawed,iron-fisted street battler, and leader of the group. As their fortunes advance and eventually diverge, the Sears's move to the South Jersey seashore, having bought a cocktail lounge, The Tropics, nearby; the Burkes move to a New Jersey suburb of Philadelphia and Burke gets involved in the Philly night-club scene and in loansharking. Along the way, he meets the flamboyant and gorgeous Jewish ex-chorus girl Lillian Reis, who operates a club nearby. The Blaney brothers are arrested for a burglary in Philadelphia in 1959 and Richie Blaney, a notorious police informer, is jailed for parole violation Some of the guys he put inside are just waiting for him to come into the general popul-ation. Richie spins the publicity-hungry Captain Ferguson a tale of an alleged half-million dollar burglary at the home of a Sicilian millionaire coal operator named appropriately John B. Rich. Richie Blaney identifies the perpetrators as his old enemy Burke, Lillian Reis, her boyfriend, his brother, Barney, and another Kensington nobody. The pairing of his two worst enemies, Ferguson and Richie Blaney, creates a perfect storm for Burke to deal with. The press goes into a feeding frenzy due to the glamorous and photogenic Reis and the size of the alleged 'score'. Meanwhile, Burke has become friendly with Felix John “Skinny Razor” DiTullio, the most feared gangster in the Philadelphia underworld, rumored to have many notches in his belt from the gang wars of the Thirties, During the Summer preceding the trial, one of the defendants in the Pottsville case, is found on the parking lot of a hospital nearly dead; he has been beaten to a pulp, shot, and stabbed numerous times. When questioned, he refuses to cooperate further with Ferguson in Pottsville, Burke is held as a material witness due to the fact that he was the last person known to have been with the victim prior to the attack. Barney Blaney, turns up in the Atlantic Ocean off Atlantic City, wrapped in chains and shot in the back of the head. On the afternoon of July 27th, 1961, Richie Blaney turns on the ignition of his car and is blown to smithereens. The car's hood is found on a rooftop two blocks away. It is his 27th birthday. That same evening, State Sen. Ben Donolow, Burke's lawyer, offers Burke for questioning, along with Lillian Reis and “Junior” Staino. After a few hours of grilling, all are released. The public and the news media, however, see Blaney's demise as of little loss to society. Finally, on January 20th, 1964, Burke's last bailable appeal is denied.. A month later, Billy Sears is murdered in his Cadillac in Atlantic City ironically by an old has-been. Burke's conviction is finally reversed and Burke soon gets word that LCN Boss Angelo Bruno wants to see him. In Book Two, Burke eventually becomes the highest-ranking non-member of the Philly LCN, and soon finds himself smack in the middle of the bloodiest Philly mob war since Prohibition.

Book Synopsis Frontiers of Boyhood by : Martin Woodside
Download or read book Frontiers of Boyhood written by Martin Woodside and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2020-02-27 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Horace Greeley published his famous imperative, “Go West, young man, and grow up with the country,” the frontier was already synonymous with a distinctive type of idealized American masculinity. But Greeley’s exhortation also captured popular sentiment surrounding changing ideas of American boyhood; for many educators, politicians, and parents, raising boys right seemed a pivotal step in securing the growing nation’s future. This book revisits these narratives of American boyhood and frontier mythology to show how they worked against and through one another—and how this interaction shaped ideas about national character, identity, and progress. The intersection of ideas about boyhood and the frontier, while complex and multifaceted, was dominated by one arresting notion: in the space of the West, boys would grow into men and the fledgling nation would expand to fulfill its promise. Frontiers of Boyhood explores this myth and its implications and ramifications through western history, childhood studies, and a rich cultural archive. Detailing surprising intersections between American frontier mythology and historical notions of child development, the book offers a new perspective on William “Buffalo Bill” Cody’s influence on children and childhood; on the phenomenon of “American Boy Books”; the agency of child performers, differentiated by race and gender, in Wild West exhibitions; and the cultural work of boys’ play, as witnessed in scouting organizations and the deployment of mass-produced toys. These mutually reinforcing and complicating strands, traced through a wide range of cultural modes, from social and scientific theorizing to mass entertainment, lead to a new understanding of how changing American ideas about boyhood and the western frontier have worked together to produce compelling stories about the nation’s past and its imagined future.
