On the Wilson ranch, which stood at the center of the current park, Patricia Wilson Clothier spent her youth exploring the wonders of ranch life in the Chisos. Patricia s richly detailed memories, coupled with a backdrop of Depression era hardships, bring the Big Bend to life in this original and vivid description of a childhood spent Beneath the Window.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBig Bend has been a National Park since the mid 1940 s. Thus it is preserved for visitors to enjoy, however almost all signs of earlier ranches and homes have disappeared. It is difficult today to imagine crops growing, peach trees bearing fruit and fenced pastures and shearing sheds. The Wilson ranch alone had some 40 miles of fence with careful attention paid to preserving water sources and using them carefully. Being a stone s throw from the Rio Grande made Mexico and its people close and friendly neighbors to the American community in Big Bend. If you ever have a chance to visit Big Bend National Park, this memoir is a must.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0974504823\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780974504827\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Clotheir, Patricia, N\/A, N\/A\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Iron Mountain Press\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Iron Mountain Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Oct 2017)","offer_id":45657910575301,"sku":"9780974504827","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780974504827.jpg?v=1768895786"},{"product_id":"to-tell-the-truth","title":"To Tell the Truth","description":"\u003cp\u003eStanding alone against people who wanted me dead, people who had controlled me from infancy, I was terrified!

He never went back. But his informal education blossomed on the streets of New York's Upper East Side; as a piano player in the Happy Times Tavern, on the vaudeville circuit of the early 1900's, at all-night poker games in the Algonquin Hotel. This is a racy autobiography by the mute Marx Brother with the rolling eyes, oversized pants and red wig who could send a glissando reeling over his harp. From the financial embarrassment of his childhood generally due to his predatory gambler-brother, Chico, he rose to the free-swinging, free-spending, game-loving gang of the twenties headed articulately by Alec Woollcott. There was croquet at the Woollcott's Vermont retreat, poker at the Algonquin, roulette on the Rivera, and backgammon at the Garden of Allah in Hollywood. At 41 he finally married and dutifully tells the reader in scenario style the conversation and events of his first dates with his wife. It is a chatty, colorful story designed for shockeroos and honks and only gets dull when there are no more pranks to play on anybody. The most appealing parts of Harpo's tale deal with his tour of Russia and his description of his family, particularly his mother Minnie with her Master Plan and Father Frenchie peddling the \"\"lappas\"\" (tailor's remnants).

A war against America's enemies, against racism, against the loss of fellow warriors in battle, and against the personal loss of family back home. This is the story of Major James Capers, Jr. (USMC Ret.) Jim was born to a family of sharecroppers in South Carolina who escaped to Baltimore, Maryland in the dead of night to escape the days of Jim Crow laws for a better life. Joining the Marines fresh out of high school, Jim had no idea that he was paving the road for future Marines, black and white alike. The first African-American Marine to receive a battlefield commission as a member of 3rd Force Recon, a new special forces unit designed specifically for the war in Vietnam; the first African-American Marine officer used on a Marine recruitment poster; co-leader of the first special forces team to attempt the rescue of American and allied POW's held in a North Vietnamese prison; a leader in Team Broadminded, whose missions were so secret, their military records from Vietnam were not declassified until 2006; nominated for the Medal of Honor; inducted into the Commando Hall of Honor for special forces; awarded the Bronze and the Silver Stars. This book is about a man who is a true American hero, though he denies the notion. Above all, Jim is a husband, a father, a patriot, a warrior who has dealt with the tragedies of his military and personal life, always depending on his faith in God to guide him through the storm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1662479956\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781662479953\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: James Capers, Major, Jr., Buz\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Page Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Page Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover (Jan 2022)","offer_id":46081625161925,"sku":"9781662479953","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback (Jan 2022)","offer_id":46081625194693,"sku":"9781642986396","price":24.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781662479953.jpg?v=1776047686"},{"product_id":"harlem-godfather-the-rap-on-my-husband-ellsworth-bumpy-johnson","title":"Harlem Godfather: The Rap on My Husband, Ellsworth \"Bumpy\" Johnson","description":"The first and only full biography on legendary Harlem gangster, Bumpy Johnson who was depicted in the movies Cotton Club, Hoodlum and American Gangster Al Capone may have ruled Chicago.
