Book Description
Mom had quit school in ninth grade to marry my father. Later in life after having nine children, seven of whom survived to adulthood, she took classes and earned her GED in her mid-forties. She was so proud to have completed her GED and we were proud of her too. Mom belonged to the Presbyterian Writers Guild in Lexington North Carolina. They encouraged her to write her personal experiences. Mom passed away in 2009. Mom's dream was to publish her stories and her poems; unfortunately, none of these stories were ever published. These stories were just kept in a box with her Bible that I received after she died. All of these stories are true to the best of my knowledge; the smallest things would make her happy so I am typing up her stories for you all to read. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have, as these are memoirs of her life growing up as an Appalachian child. I am publishing these stories in honor of her memory and love for the gift of being her son.

Bonnie & Clyde
Author: Paul Schneider
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1429922648
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 645
Book Description
The flesh-and-blood story of the outlaw lovers who robbed banks and shot their way across Depression-era America, based on extensive archival research, declassified FBI documents, and interviews The daring movie revolutionized Hollywood—now the true story of Bonnie and Clyde is told in the lovers' own voices, with verisimilitude and drama to match Truman Capote's In Cold Blood. Strictly nonfiction—no dialogue or other material has been made up—and set in the dirt-poor Texas landscape that spawned the star-crossed outlaws, Paul Schneider's brilliantly researched and dramatically crafted tale begins with a daring jailbreak and ends with an ambush and shoot-out that consigns their bullet-riddled bodies to the crumpled front seat of a hopped-up getaway car. Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow's relationship was, at the core, a toxic combination of infatuation blended with an instinct for going too far too fast. The poetry-writing petite Bonnie and her gun-crazy lover drove lawmen wild. Despite their best efforts the duo kept up their exploits, slipping the noose every single, damned time. That is until the weight of their infamy in four states caught up with them in the famous ambush that literally blasted away their years of live-action rampage in seconds. Without glamorizing the killers or vilifying the cops, the book, alive with action and high-level entertainment, provides a complete picture of America's most famous outlaw couple and the culture that created them.

Brandy Jack Counterfeiter and Moonshiner
Author: Oakley Dean Baldwin
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
A family history of moonshiners and counterfeiters can be quite entertaining at times. The difficulty with researching history is not so much in the gathering of information as it is learning and understanding of the inhumanity of man during a particular time, not only to others but to the animals that we are supposed to care for and tend to. At times it can be like peeling an onion where tears come between with the layers. However, there are also more happy layers than sad layers which make it worth your time. It's an experience you travel as you go back into the past and follow the DNA chain links to the lives of all those who came before you in their bloodline now coursing in your veins.

Our Appalachia
Author: Laurel Shackelford
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813158249
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 410
Book Description
Many books have been written about Appalachia, but few have voiced its concerns with the warmth and directness of this one. From hundreds of interviews gathered by the Appalachian Oral History Project, editors Laurel Shackelford and Bill Weinberg have woven a rich verbal tapestry that portrays the people and the region in all their variety. The words on the page have the ring of truth, for these are the people of Appalachia speaking for themselves. Here they recollect an earlier time of isolation but of independence and neighborliness. For a nearer time they tell of the great changes that took place in Appalachia with the growth of coal mining and railroads and the disruption of old ways. Persisting through the years and sounding clearly in the interviews are the dignity of the Appalachian people and their close ties with the land, despite the exploitation and change they have endured. When first published, Our Appalachia was widely praised. This new edition again makes available an authentic source of social history for all those with an interest in the region.

MYSTERIOUS BOLLINGS I will start by explaining the Red, the White, and the Blue Bollings: First, the Red Bollings are Pocahontas' descendants through Colonel Robert Bolling and Pocahontas' granddaughter Jane Rolfe. Second, the White Bollings are the non-Pocahontas descendants of Colonel Robert Bolling and his second wife Anne Stith, also called the Stith-Bollings. Third, the Blue or Mysterious Bollings who seem to have just come out of the "Blue," no pun intended, claim to be Red Bollings from Major John Bolling and Elizabeth Blair. This book confirms six of the twelve "Blue" Bollings are indeed Red Bollings.
