Book excerpt: Eve Searle has led a life filled at different times with danger, adventure, fun, and a zest for living. Born in 1934 in what was then Czechoslovakia, she lived through World War II and the Russian front and then moved with her parents to British India, only to get involved in the horrors of the Indian civil war following the end of British rule and the formation of the countries of India and Pakistan. Her family then moved to Australia, where she finished her schooling and began a successful career in business. After several years she developed a passion for flying and, in quick succession, obtained her private pilot's license, then her commercial license, and finally an instructor rating. She spent several years in the flying world, being at the time one of only three female commercial pilots in the country. After several years, she and her husband decided to join her family who had moved to the United States and applied for a resident visa. As they could not await the granting of this within the United States, they moved to Mexico, where they spent a colorful two years awaiting their US residency permit. When this was granted, they moved to Boulder City, Nevada, and then settled on a farm in Arizona. After several years the marriage fell apart; and Eve moved to a remote canyon in the Dragoon Mountains of Arizona, where she met her future husband, an Arizona cowboy and rancher. Together they developed a successful guest ranch visited by guests from all over the world. After several years they purchased an adjoining cattle ranch; and Eve then spent her time between hosting the guest ranch visitors and her "family" of animals, consisting of her favorite horse, Comanche, a pet cow called Clementine, three sheep, and a family of assorted goats, the main one, orphaned Snowball, being raised in the house, which had to be "goat-proofed" during her residence. Her husband having died in 2006, she ran both operations single-handed and then sold the guest ranch and settled down to the life of an Arizona cattle rancher, a fulfilling life that she still enjoys today.

Download or read book The Quaker Star Under Seven Flags, 1917-1927 written by John Van Gelder Forbes and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the years 1917 and 1927, the American Friends Service Committee of Philadelphia worked with agencies of seven governments to bring help to civilian victims of the first world war. This small private committee held fast to its original conviction that relief out to be administered to sufferers of famine and plague—not from political motivations but because such help was right, humane, and necessary. John Forbes's study The Quaker Star Under Seven Flags traces, through the war and its aftermath, the committee's negotiations with the governments of the United States, France, Serbia, Austria, German, Poland, and Soviet Russia. Forbes describes the field programs that were undertaken in cooperation with these governments after agreement was reached and carried out in collaboration with the great public enterprises that were also pioneering in overseas relief The book relates how the members of the Religious Society of Friends upheld the Society's commitment for peace not only by refusing to bear arms but also by working with the State and War Departments of the United States, as well as with the American Red Cross and the American Relief Administration. Joined by the British Friends War Victims Relief Committee, and in conjunction with officials of the stricken lands, they carried food, clothing, medicine, and hope across the English Channel into the heart of continental Europe, as far east as revolutionary Russia. A stirring account of the contribution toward peace of a selfless and courageous group, The Quaker Start Under Seven Flags illuminates some of the modern world's disturbing and puzzling foreign-aid problems. It indicates that it is not only the quantity of aid and the efficiency of its administration that counts but also the spirit in which it is given.

Book excerpt: The US and Europe have unraveled since World War II and radicalism has metastasized into every community, tearing away the decency, optimism, and security that shaped those robust democracies for more than eight decades. No place is immune, including the small West Texas town of Dell City, where four generations of an iconic American family and a Syrian Muslim family carve a farming empire out of the unforgiving high desert. These families’ partnership is as unlikely as the idea of a United States, and their powerful friendship can be traced back to a bloody knife fight in a Juarez cantina just after World War II. The bond forged that night between Jack Laws, an Irish American who staked his claim in West Texas after the war, and Ali Zarkan, whose great-grandfather sailed from the Middle East to Texas in the mid-1800s as part of President Franklin Pierce’s attempt to create the US Army Camel Corps, shapes each generation of the families as they come of age and adapt to shifting paradigms of gender, commerce, patriotism, loyalty, religion, and sexuality. From the beaches of the Western Pacific to the battlefields of the Middle East and from the lawless streets of Juarez to the darkest corners of the Internet, the two families fight real and perceived enemies—journeying, as they do, through the football fields of Texas and West Point, the hippie playgrounds of Asia, the music halls of Austin, the terrorist cells of Europe and the political backrooms where fortunes are gained or lost over the rights to Western water. Underlying their experiences is the basic question of what constitutes identity and citizenship in America, or in Texas, a land over which six flags have flown. The seventh flag, ultimately, is not one of a state or a nation, but of a mosaic of cultures, religions, and people from every corner of the world—all struggling to define what it means to be unified under an ambiguous banner.
