Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the true story of Frank Peregoy, A Far Cry From Green Mountain reveals the struggles and triumphs of the only soldier in American history to have earned the nation's two highest awards for valor, The Soldier's Medal and The Congressional Medal of Honor. Frank's story captures Appalachian life in early Twentieth Century America and opens our eyes to how one poverty-stricken mountaineer overcame the hardships of the Depression without sacrificing his deep-rooted values of family, honor, friendship, and an unbridled patriotism. Ultimately, A Far Cry From Green Mountain chronicles one man's journey to find himself while doing his part to unshackle Europe from the grasp of tyranny. The author, Paul Barbero, draws from historical and military records, letters, and interviews with Frank Peregoy's last surviving family and friends to weave a riveting account of an American war hero too long overlooked.
Book Synopsis Cry from the Mountains by : Keith Decker
Download or read book Cry from the Mountains written by Keith Decker and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Keith Decker knows from personal experience what it is to be abandoned, hungry, and with no place to lay his head. By the time he is a junior in high school he has spent more nights than he can count with friends and more days than he wants to remember wondering where his next meal will come from. Then, at age seventeen he hits rock bottom. After a devastating event, he asks himself, What if I fell into a black hole tonight? And then he answers his own question: Nobody would even miss me. Cry from the Mountains is the story of how God hears and answers Keiths cry and it is the story of how He continues to answer, even today. It is the story of how God takes an unlikely lad from Eastern Kentucky, gives him purpose and hope, and molds him into a minister who touches the lives of thousands of people in the heart of Appalachia who are living in similar circumstances to those in which Keith grew up. Cry from the Mountains not only chronicles Keiths personal journey but also the history of Cedaridge Ministries in Williamsburg, Ky., which he began twenty-three years ago to address the needs of impoverished people in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky.

Book Synopsis The Dog Who Took Me Up a Mountain by : Rick Crandall
Download or read book The Dog Who Took Me Up a Mountain written by Rick Crandall and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The uplifting story of two unlikely mountaineers: a man in late middle age and a fearless pint-sized pup who, together, scale Colorado's highest peaks. By the time life had finished hitting Rick Crandall from all sides, he was at the lowest point of his life, both personally and professionally. Depressed to find himself facing a mid-late-life age crisis and watching his finances crumble as the tech industry bubble burst, he hopes his future isn't headed downhill. It was at this critical juncture in their new marriage that his wife Pamela made an astute and life-changing suggestion: "Let's get a dog." So begins the story of Emme, a 200-pound Saint Bernard trapped in the body of 5-pound Australian terrier puppy. Soon, Emme and Rick hit the hiking trails around Aspen, Colorado. While she is groomed to be a show dog, it's soon obvious that her heart is in the hills and with Rick, who decides to add more challenging hikes to the mix. Before long, they are scaling Colorado's "fourteeners," peaks with altitudes of over 14,000 feet. On one magical day, Emme climbs to the top of four "fourteeners," a quarter of the sixteen such peaks she will complete during her life without once being carried on a trail or on the rocks on the way to a summit. In mountaineering Rick realizes he has found—in his late sixties—his life's new passion. This is where Emme has led him—out of the abyss and to the top of the mountain. She was never really walking behind: she was nudging him along until he found his stride. Even after Rick understood the glory of climbing, it was Emme still doing the leading, until Rick learned how to lead himself.
Book Synopsis Alpine Warriors by : Bernadette McDonald
Download or read book Alpine Warriors written by Bernadette McDonald and published by Rocky Mountain Books Ltd. This book was released on 2015-09-21 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From internationally renowned mountain historian Bernadette McDonald comes a highly readable, intense and exciting look at the explosion of Slovenian alpinism in the context of that country’s turbulent political history. After the Second World War a period of relative calm began in Josip Broz Tito’s Yugoslavia. During the next thirty years citizens could travel freely if they had the money. Most did not, but alpinists did. Through elaborate training régimes and state-supported expeditions abroad, Yugoslavian alpinists began making impressive climbs in the Himalaya as early as 1960. By the ’70s, they were ascending the 8000ers. These teams were dominated by Slovenian climbers, since their region includes the Julian Alps, a fiercely steep range of limestone peaks that provided the ideal training ground. After Tito died in 1980, however, the calm ended. Inter-ethnic conflict and economic decline ripped Yugoslavia apart. But Serbian strongman Slobodan Miloševic misread the courage and character of several Yugoslavian states, including Slovenia, and by 1991 Slovenia was independent. The new country continued its support for climbers, and success bred success. By 1995, all of the 8000ers had been climbed by Slovenian teams. And in the next ten years, some of the most dramatic and futuristic climbs were made by these ferocious alpinists. Apart from a few superstars, most of these amazing athletes remain unknown in the West.
