Book Synopsis Echoes from the Valley by : Crampton Harris Helms
Download or read book Echoes from the Valley written by Crampton Harris Helms and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-08-26 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What began as a list of names, a box of documents, a number of family Bibles, and idle curiosity gradually evolved into a book about the settlement of Virginia and the western conquest of the great Valley of the Shenandoah, the birth of the New River settlements, and the emergence of the Watauga and Holston pioneers on the western slopes of the Appalachian Mountains. Placing the generations into a format of historic events began to bring these fugitives from the European wars and catastrophes into focus as real people. Since this story concerns the early foundation of this nation, the author did not choose to go back beyond the immigration from Europe. In a few cases, however, where the material was available and explanatory, it was incorporated into these pages. This does not mean that the more remote history of others was not available. It just did not contribute to the integrity of this book. The book is not a genealogy although it uses that structure to build the generations. And it is not simply a history. It is a perspective of history, demonstrated through the genealogy and migrations of one family. The whole is dependent upon each life among the hundreds of those who made this family possible. Make no mistake about it! The loss of a single onejust one!and the people that followed would never have been born! The relations are carefully delineated. Children are named where it is possible. To this extent, it is hoped other lineages may find the book useful. The appendix contains copies from books and papers that might be difficult or impossible to obtain. It is important to realize that as the reader goes backward in time, the numbers of people become fewer. This means that the chances of interrelations increase as the two hundredth year marker of the past is approached. All of us share a kinship in the origin and the destiny of the United States of America!
Book Synopsis Echoes from the Valley by : Billy Powell
Download or read book Echoes from the Valley written by Billy Powell and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2006-06-15 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Echoes from the Valley" steps back into history to relive the storied past of one of Georgia's most unique cities--Fort Valley, U. S. A. Once the "Peach Capital of the World," Fort Valley was renowned for its peach festivals during the 1920s. During that era, 40 to 50 thousand visitors converged on Fort Valley annually to behold the vast sea of peach blossoms, to witness extravagant parades, and to eat free barbeque. The railroad arrived during the 1850s, establishing Fort Valley as a railroad community and populating the Byron and Powersville whistle stops along its path. Fort Valley proudly boasts of Blue Bird Body Company, the nation's premier bus manufacturer, started when Lawrence Luce built his first school bus in 1927, and Fort Valley State University, founded in 1895. Fort Valley is replete with historic landmarks such as Everett Square, Bliss, Sylvan Dell, and Dope Hill. The book also chronicles the founding of Fort Valley, Byron, Powersville and the creation of Peach County As historical research unfolded, it became increasingly apparent that Fort Valley, during its early days, was not the sleepy, tranquil, uneventful, little hamlet that had been envisioned, but at times was a community where murders, criminal acts, and misdeeds were occurring with appalling frequency. Murders committed during the 1930s and 1940s were so sensational and shockingly gruesome that they remain hot topics of conversation to this day. Covered in-depth, based on police records, is the horrific 1986 slaying of Denise Murray Allison, whose needless murder, the most savage and brutal killing in Peach County history, has never been prosecuted. Her demonic, yet unknown killer walks among the citizens of Fort Valley.
Book Synopsis Hidden Valley Road by : Robert Kolker
Download or read book Hidden Valley Road written by Robert Kolker and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • ONE OF GQ's TOP 50 BOOKS OF LITERARY JOURNALISM IN THE 21st CENTURY • The heartrending story of a midcentury American family with twelve children, six of them diagnosed with schizophrenia, that became science's great hope in the quest to understand the disease. "Reads like a medical detective journey and sheds light on a topic so many of us face: mental illness." —Oprah Winfrey Don and Mimi Galvin seemed to be living the American dream. After World War II, Don's work with the Air Force brought them to Colorado, where their twelve children perfectly spanned the baby boom: the oldest born in 1945, the youngest in 1965. In those years, there was an established script for a family like the Galvins--aspiration, hard work, upward mobility, domestic harmony--and they worked hard to play their parts. But behind the scenes was a different story: psychological breakdown, sudden shocking violence, hidden abuse. By the mid-1970s, six of the ten Galvin boys, one after another, were diagnosed as schizophrenic. How could all this happen to one family? What took place inside the house on Hidden Valley Road was so extraordinary that the Galvins became one of the first families to be studied by the National Institute of Mental Health. Their story offers a shadow history of the science of schizophrenia, from the era of institutionalization, lobotomy, and the schizophrenogenic mother to the search for genetic markers for the disease, always amid profound disagreements about the nature of the illness itself. And unbeknownst to the Galvins, samples of their DNA informed decades of genetic research that continues today, offering paths to treatment, prediction, and even eradication of the disease for future generations. With clarity and compassion, bestselling and award-winning author Robert Kolker uncovers one family's unforgettable legacy of suffering, love, and hope.

Book excerpt: An International Thriller Award Finalist Two sisters travel to an isolated Arizona town to investigate its connection to their mother’s death, but uncover more than they bargained for in this supernatural thriller from the author of The Dead and the Dark. Beck Birsching has been adrift since the death of her mother, a brilliant but troubled investigative reporter. She can’t stop herself from slipping into memories of happier days, longing for a time when things were more normal. So when a mysterious letter in her mother’s handwriting arrives in the mail that reads Come and find me, pointing to the small town at the center of her last investigation, Beck hopes that it may hold the answers. But when Beck and her sister Riley arrive in Backravel, Arizona, it’s clear that something’s off. There are no cars, no cemeteries, no churches. The town is a mix of dilapidated military structures and new, shiny buildings, all overseen by a gleaming treatment center high on a plateau. No one seems to remember when they got there, and when Beck digs deeper into the town’s enigmatic leader and his daughter, Avery, she begins to suspect that they know more than they’re letting on. As Beck and her sister search for answers about their mother, she and Avery are increasingly drawn together, and their unexpected connection brings up emotions Beck has fought to keep buried. Beck is desperate to hold onto the way things used to be, but when she starts losing herself in Backravel—and its connection to her mother— she risks losing her way back out. In Where Echoes Die, Courtney Gould draws readers into a haunting desert town to explore grief, the weight of not letting go of the past, first love, and the bonds between sisters, mothers and daughters.
