Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We always have a curiosity of the unknown. We strive to learn and always have an open mind to all things even when they seemed a bit outlandish. I ended up doing ghost research in the town of Tombstone in the mid 2000s that led to more discoveries such as the "Tombstone Thunderbird" among others. Of course being interested in the topic I wanted to learn more! I fell into newspapers and books that were up to 100 years old for any information leading to answers. Even if the answers were elusive and mostly lost in time. I felt like I was on a journey into the past, a very mysterious past filled with the paranormal, a very taboo yet popular topic for the time. More recently these stories and fantastic articles have seen the light of day thanks to the internet however; in most cases they barely touched the topic. I was of course on a mission to report on the oddities of Tombstone and ended up discovering much more. As I read these accounts, I couldn't help but wonder if there was some sort of connection. I couldn't help but report on them as well or I felt I was truly leaving a part of the story out of the bigger picture. The Thunderbird for example is not an isolated event or and open and shut type of case. The story even has ties with Elizabeth Lake out in California. What if there are more strange connections that have yet to be unearthed? Discoveries are made almost daily that at least answer some burning question. I felt only necessary to include most of my findings in these pages as it only helps paint a bigger picture. UFO sightings of the 1880s is a vast and interesting look at the fascination of life beyond our own and at the time flight was still a mystery all its own. The people of the turn of the century truly lived in a wondrous age of discovery and ideas. Not everything was roses however, there was a great deal of violence that kept life on the edge for many settlers of the 1880s. The time may change but, people do not. Personal vendettas and wild unexpected accidents claim lives today, just as it did then. Some stories never get told as others never resolve. Leaving a poor soul to wander restlessly for answers. I hope you enjoy this look at the more strange and unnerving glimpse into Tombstones shadier side. Maybe you'll be inspired to dig through old papers and books yourself and see what is hidden between those dusty pages. Trust me, it's worth it.

Download or read book Tombstone, A.T. written by Wm. B. Shillingberg and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2016-02-19 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once nearly forgotten, Tombstone, Arizona, is trapped in myth and legend. Walking its quiet streets, one finds it hard to separate truth from illusion and remember this was a real town, not some Hollywood fantasy. Tombstone’s rough and rowdy exploits were reported from San Francisco to New York. William B. Shillingberg rediscovers the real Tombstone in this historical tour-de-force. The rough mining town of boomers and investors, of hard men and women seeking their fortunes, comes to life with startling clarity. Tombstone, A.T.: A History of Early Mining, Milling, and Mayhem relates true tales of those who founded and built the town, including the infamous Earps and Clantons. Shillingberg details life in a pioneer mining town, from the discoverers of the mines, Edward and Albert Schieffelin and Richard Gird, to the amazing cast of characters in the most celebrated gunfight in western history—the shootout at the OK Corral, between Wyatt, Virgil, and Morgan Earp, Doc Holliday, and a gang led by Ike Clanton. And tales of John Ringo, Frank Leslie, and diarist George W. Parsons are filled with the famous and the notorious. Today Tombstone slumbers, a shadow of its faded glory, supported by clouded memories and tourist dollars. But the real story remains, and Tombstone, A.T. tells it.

Download or read book Tombstone's Treasure written by Sherry Monahan and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2010-11-23 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sherry Monahan is an authority on "the city that wouldn't die" and its history. In Tombstone's Treasure, she focuses on the silver mines, one reason for the city's founding, and the saloons, the other reason the city grew so quickly. When the discovery of silver at Tombstone first became known in mid-1880, there were about twenty-six saloons and breweries. By July of the following year, the number of saloons in Tombstone had doubled. The most popular saloon games of the time were faro, monte, and poker, with some offering keno, roulette, and twenty-one. Monahan shares true tales about Tombstone's mining and gambling history and describes a different time and locale where wealthy businesspeople and rugged miners rubbed elbows at the bar and gambled side by side. It is both shocking and enlightening to learn just how sophisticated Tombstone really was when the Earps, Doc Holliday, Johnny Ringo, and Curly Bill strode the boardwalks. Tombstone actually had telephones, ice cream parlors, coffee shops, a bowling alley, and a swimming pool. Wow! It is so contrary to the Hollywood version of the town . . . but it's absolutely true."--from the Foreword by Bob Boze Bell Read Sherry Monahan's interview on AMC on the Wild West and the film Wild Bill

Download or read book Beyond Grief written by Cynthia Mills and published by Smithsonian Institution. This book was released on 2014-09-23 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond Grief explores high-style funerary sculptures and their functions during the turn of the twentieth century. Many scholars have overlooked these monuments, viewing them as mere oddities, a part of an individual artist's oeuvre, a detail of a patron's biography, or local civic cemetery history. This volume considers them in terms of their wider context and shifting use as objects of consolation, power, and multisensory mystery and wonder. Art historian Cynthia Mills traces the stories of four families who memorialized their losses through sculpture. Henry Brooks Adams commissioned perhaps the most famous American cemetery monument of all, the Adams Memorial in Washington, D.C. The bronze figure was designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, who became the nation’s foremost sculptor. Another innovative bronze monument featured the Milmore brothers, who had worked together as sculptors in the Boston area. Artist Frank Duveneck composed a recumbent portrait of his wife following her early death in Paris; in Rome, the aging William Wetmore Story made an angel of grief his last work as a symbol of his sheer desolation after his wife’s death. Through these incredible monuments Mills explores questions like: Why did new forms--many of them now produced in bronze rather than stone and placed in architectural settings--arise just at this time, and how did they mesh or clash with the sensibilities of their era? Why was there a gap between the intention of these elite patrons and artists, whose lives were often intertwined in a closed circle, and the way some public audiences received them through the filter of the mass media? Beyond Grief traces the monuments' creation, influence, and reception in the hope that they will help us to understand the larger story: how survivors used cemetery memorials as a vehicle to mourn and remember, and how their meaning changed over time.

Book excerpt: Abandoned in a department store as a baby, thirteen-year-old Tom Mullen has been shuffled from one rotten foster home to another his entire life. When he hears rumors that a mass grave has been unearthed on his school grounds, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to it. The grave pulls Tom down into its terrible darkness and beyond, where he discovers that he is no longer in Liverpool in 1974 but in Ireland in 1847, at the height of the potato famine. A family named Monaghan takes him in, and for the first time Tom experiences what it is like to have parents and siblings who care for one another. But why has Tom been transported through time and space? And why must the grave keep yanking him back to his dreary lonely existence in Liverpool? Most of all, what does it mean that the Monaghan's son, Tully, is practically Tom's double?
