Download or read book The Chowchilla Kidnapping: Why Me? written by Larry Park and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-07-26 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1976 in Chowchilla, California, three men kidnapped twenty-six children and their driver from a school bus, drove them a hundred miles away to a rock quarry, forced them into a moving van, and then buried them alive. Miraculously, many hours later, two older children dug themselves out, helping everyone escape to freedom. Six-year-old Larry Park was one of those victims, and this is his story. Larry survived this horrific ordeal, but he's never been the same. He's spent nearly four decades battling mental illness, severe anxiety, drug addiction, and rage issues. He was diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder and has even contemplated suicide. But in this poignantly honest memoir, Park shares his tale in the hope of finally slaying his demons and putting his past to rest. Will Larry quell the voices in his head and the rage in his heart? Will he channel his hard-won knowledge into helping himself and millions of others suffering in the aftermath of trauma? And most importantly, will Larry make his peace with God? Dive into one incredible true-life story behind the Chowchilla kidnapping, and revel in the tenacity of the human spirit in the face of the evil of this world.

Book Synopsis The Chowchilla by : Robert Fletcher Manlove
Download or read book The Chowchilla written by Robert Fletcher Manlove and published by Craven Street Books. This book was released on 2020-02 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first complete scholarly work on a historically significant, yet almost entirely undocumented, California Indian tribe, The Chowchilla traces the history of the Chowchilla from their earliest known origins to today, with detailed information on the tribe's kinship structure, social customs, and political development. Until the Spaniards intruded on their territory, the Chowchilla Yokuts were peaceful hunter-gatherers. Outraged by Spanish oppression, the Chowchilla quickly learned the arts of war. They united the tribes of the California interior and led resistance movements against Spanish, Mexican, and American occupation. Among the California Indians, the name Chowchilla was a byword for bravery. Following the consolidation of American control of California, the Chowchilla were driven from their land, were forced to abandon their hunter-gatherer lifestyle, and sank into obscurity. The Chowchilla maintained their tribal identity by staying as out of sight as possible, sometimes not identifying themselves as Indian at all. In modern times, the Chowchilla are regaining their tribal identity and working to achieve federal recognition. A serious contribution to American Indian history and anthropology, The Chowchilla shows the unique experiences and development of one California tribe from first contact all the way to the present, providing an invaluable reference for future scholars and for native people of other tribes as they redefine their tribes as independent political entities with traditional native values. This expanded and revised second edition of The Chowchilla has been updated with seven years of additional research and study, shining a brighter light on the tribe's honorable and courageous fight to preserve their rights against Spanish, Mexican, and American invasions.

Book Synopsis The Day the Children Vanished by : Hugh Pentecost
Download or read book The Day the Children Vanished written by Hugh Pentecost and published by Gallery Books. This book was released on 2016-03-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the creative mind of Hugh Pentecost comes a terrifying and prophetic novel that potentially influenced the Chowchilla kidnapping in 1976. The Day the Children Vanished is not for the faint of heart, as readers are taken down the rabbit hole of the mysterious disappearance of nine children, the school bus they rode on, and its driver. On a bright, clear winter afternoon, nine children in the town of Clayton disappeared from the face of the earth on their commute to the Regional School of Lakeview. Missing with the children are the bus in which they traveled and its driver… They vanished completely. So mysteriously so that some distraught citizen of Clayton suggest it was as if they’d been sucked up into outer space by a monstrous interplanetary vacuum cleaner. Dive into the mysterious, twisted mind of the winner of the Grand Master Award from Mystery Writers of America and see for yourself just how the nine children of Clayton disappeared that winter. One of Hugh Pentecost’s most tantalizing stories, Pentecost has “a certain hand and a crafty mind” (The New Yorker).
