Download or read book Two Guns, 1 Mile written by Thomas Butler and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I first became aware of the town of Two Guns, Arizona in the summer of 2001 while on the tail end of a cross-country road trip. Driving through Arizona with the lovely lady who would later become my wife, we motored along the remains of Route 66, heading for home in California, when she said "that would make a great title for a book." I followed her gaze to a battered road sign, complete with a full patina of desert dust and the requisite bullet holes, and it read "Two Guns" and below it in slightly smaller white lettering "1 mile." I immediately thought of a couple of plot lines for which the title would be perfect, but I didn't think I could get a whole book out of it. Instead, I tried a few times over the years to put it in as the title of a short story, but kept on changing it for the final draft. I didn't want to use it up. Then, after researching the history of Two Guns, I realized that this title contained not just one story, but several. As has been true so many times throughout our nearly 20 years of marriage thus far, she was absolutely right the first time: it had to be a book. Two Guns, 1 Mile is a collection of original short fiction and historical fiction. The titles "Dual," "Sunset (fade to black)," "Extra Terrestrials," and "Two Guns, One Smile" contain only original fictional characters and fictional events. Any resemblance to actual events or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental. Other stories, including "Sharp," and "Smoke" contain only original fictional characters, but also include details from real events. For the purpose of the stories, I condensed some of the historical events, omitting details that were not relevant to the plot, but without altering the reported facts. The remaining stories in this collection, including "One Last Round," "The Whore War," "Trading Post," and "Upon the Rock of Our Redeemer" are fictionalized accountings of reported events. In "One Last Round," and "The Whore War," the events play out as described by reported facts, with the exception that Bill Duckin was not reported to have been in Clabberfoot Annie's brothel on the night in question. However, as their times in Canyon Diablo are reported to have overlapped, his presence there, and in the capacity as I described it, would not have been out of the question or out of character for the man. As for "Trading Post" and "Upon the Rock of Our Redeemer," the characters of Earle Cundiff and Adolph Cannon were respectively reported to be the owner of the Canyon Lodge (Two Guns) Trading Post, and a prospector of meteoric diamonds. Their roles within these works are entirely fictional, though my descriptions of them do abide by the generally known facts of their lives. Cundiff was shot and killed by Harry E. (Indian) Miller on March 3, 1926, and Cannon was reported to wander the desert between Winslow and Flagstaff over a period of several decades collecting diamonds that had supposedly been deposited there by the impact at what is now known as Meteor Crater. However, the dialogue and actions of these characters in their stories have no factual basis.Whenever possible, I have tried to keep to the facts of the historical events exactly as they have been reported in multiple sources. However, the stories contained in this book are works of fiction and are meant only to entertain. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
Book Synopsis This Nonviolent Stuff'll Get You Killed by : Charles E Cobb Jr.
Download or read book This Nonviolent Stuff'll Get You Killed written by Charles E Cobb Jr. and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visiting Martin Luther King Jr. at the peak of the Montgomery, Alabama bus boycott, journalist William Worthy almost sat on a loaded pistol. "Just for self defense," King assured him. It was not the only weapon King kept for such a purpose; one of his advisors remembered the reverend's Montgomery, Alabama home as "an arsenal." Like King, many ostensibly "nonviolent" civil rights activists embraced their constitutional right to selfprotection -- yet this crucial dimension of the Afro-American freedom struggle has been long ignored by history. In This Nonviolent Stuff'll Get You Killed, civil rights scholar Charles E. Cobb Jr. describes the vital role that armed self-defense played in the survival and liberation of black communities in America during the Southern Freedom Movement of the 1960s. In the Deep South, blacks often safeguarded themselves and their loved ones from white supremacist violence by bearing -- and, when necessary, using -- firearms. In much the same way, Cobb shows, nonviolent civil rights workers received critical support from black gun owners in the regions where they worked. Whether patrolling their neighborhoods, garrisoning their homes, or firing back at attackers, these courageous men and women and the weapons they carried were crucial to the movement's success. Giving voice to the World War II veterans, rural activists, volunteer security guards, and self-defense groups who took up arms to defend their lives and liberties, This Nonviolent Stuff'll Get You Killed lays bare the paradoxical relationship between the nonviolent civil rights struggle and the Second Amendment. Drawing on his firsthand experiences in the civil rights movement and interviews with fellow participants, Cobb provides a controversial examination of the crucial place of firearms in the fight for American freedom.
Book Synopsis The Silent Guns of Two Octobers by : Theodore Voorhees
Download or read book The Silent Guns of Two Octobers written by Theodore Voorhees and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Silent Guns of Two Octobers uses new as well as previously under-appreciated documentary evidence to link the Cuban Missile Crisis to the Checkpoint Charlie tank standoff to achieve the impossible—craft a new, thoughtful, original analysis of a political showdown everyone thought they knew everything about. Ultimately the book concludes that much of the Cold War rhetoric the leaders employed was mere posturing; in reality neither had any intention of starting a nuclear war. Theodore Voorhees reexamines Khrushchev’s and Kennedy’s leadership, decision, and rhetoric in light of the new documentary evidence available. Voorhees examines the impact of John F. Kennedy's domestic political concerns about his upcoming first midterm elections on his handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis through his use of back-channel dealings with Khrushchev during the lead-up to the crisis and in the closing days when the two leaders managed to reach a settlement.

Download or read book Guns Down written by Igor Volsky and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of Mashable's "17 books every activist should read in 2019" Join the conversation about creating a future with fewer guns and finally make a difference—this "smart, thoughtful, commonsense plan" (Donna Brazile) shows you how Ninety-six people die from guns in America every single day. Twelve thousand Americans are murdered each year. The United States has more mass shootings, gun suicides, and nonfatal gun injuries than any other industrialized country in the world. Gun-safety advocates have tried to solve these problems with incremental changes such as background checks and banning assault style military weapons. They have fallen short. In order to significantly and permanently reduce gun deaths the United States needs a bold new approach: a drastic reduction of the 390 million guns already in circulation and a new movement dedicated to a future with fewer guns. In Guns Down, Igor Volsky tells the story of how he took on the NRA just by using his Twitter account, describes how he found common ground with gun enthusiasts after spending two days shooting guns in the desert, and lays out a blueprint for how citizens can push their governments to reduce the number of guns in circulation and make firearms significantly harder to get. An aggressive licensing and registration initiative, federal and state buybacks of millions of guns, and tighter regulation of the gun industry, the gun lobby, and gun sellers will build safer communities for all. Volsky outlines a New Second Amendment Compact developed with policy experts from across the political spectrum, including bold reforms that have succeeded in reducing gun violence worldwide, and offers a road map for achieving transformative change to increase safety in our communities.

Download or read book Two Gun Hart written by Jeff McArthur and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-01-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in Italy and raised in Brooklyn, Vincenzo Capone left home when he was a teenager. He traveled with a wild-west show and fought in Europe during the Great War where he earned a medal for sharp-shooting. Upon his return, he settled in Nebraska where he went by the name Richard Hart. He married, had children, and worked closely with the local Indian communities. He dressed like the type of cowboy he had seen in silent movies, rode a horse, and wielded two six-shooters at his side, which earned him the name "Two Gun" Hart. When the Volstead Act made alcohol production illegal, Richard joined the ranks of law enforcement and became one of the most successful Prohibition officers in the country. He chased down criminals, busted alcohol stills, and protected the Indian reservations he served, all under an assumed name. But his past caught up with him when his younger brother, Al Capone, became one of the most infamous criminals in the country. They were two siblings on opposite sides of the law, both ambitious and skillful, and both of the same family.
