Little Walkers Creek
Author: Rebecca Cox Sowers
Publisher: Amer History Press
ISBN: 9780975366745
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
"Little Walkers Creek: A History of the Land and Its People" is the most complete history of this area in Southwestern Virginia ever written. This work encompasses all events in the area from the late 1700's into the early 1900's, with an emphasis on family genealogies. The author has researched in depth the First Land Grants located at the Library of Virginia and traced them forward at the local county courthouses in Montgomery, Wythe, Pulaski and Bland counties. With this newly rediscovered information at hand, the reader may now be able to trace how his ancestor acquired his land and, possibly, if it was later donated to a church, county school or even for use as a cemetery. Ms. Sowers has also studied the census records from that period to obtain even more detailed information. Is it possible that your ancestor had children that you did not know about? Yes! Many children disappeared from one census to another indicating that the child had perhaps died from an epidemic or illness such as diphtheria or yellow fever. This history may help you uncover the long lost relative - which you didn't even know was lost! Was your ancestor a Confederate soldier or the widow of a Confederate soldier? The author has laboriously transcribed the available military records such as the Confederate Pensions, which provide precise information such as age and place of birth, occupation, service during the war and injuries or sickness. The Confederate Widows Pensions will provide information such as marriage place and date, place of birth and date, and cause, place and date of death of husband. Structured and detailed genealogies will also assist the reader in discovering the relationships between individuals, and in some cases, photographs depict the people who made up the fascinating human landscape of the region. This history is a "must have" if you have ancestors from the Little Walkers Creek area, or have an interest in the history of the region, and it will surely prove to be an invaluable asset as you conduct your research.

Infamous Mothers

Publisher:
ISBN: 9781942586227
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"An intergenerational collection of personal narratives by women in the 21st century who mother from the margins of our society. It features 20 stories of caretakers who have both overcome their own personal challenges and are now making a difference in the public sphere today. This coffee table book offers readers an opportunity to experience the lives of "detestable" or "reprehensible" moms from the perspective of the women we love to judge. Filled with stunning photography and provocative stories, it challenges popular perceptions of teen moms, survivors of domestic violence, and baby mamas. It adds complexity to stereotypical stories about mamas who abuse drugs or engage in sex work. And it demonstrates both the humanity and value of the very mothers our society often dismisses. This book is an excellent choice for scholars of motherhood studies, black women's autobiographies, sociology, gender and women's studies, and rhetoric. It is a must-read book for social workers. Every woman who has ever been called "infamous" should own a copy; it will inspire, inform, and make you laugh. But above all, it will remind you of your power"--Back cover

Book Description
Jason thought the shiny new bicycle that his mom and dad gave him for his seventh birthday was the greatest present he ever received. Then when Jason took an unexpected tumble from his bike, it brought kindly neighbor Gerald Taylor to his aid and began a friendship that turned out to be an even greater gift. One day, as the two were reading together, Gerald showed Jason a book that could bring happiness to those who were sad. Gerald had a name for those sad people: upside-down clowns. He explained that this very special book had the power to turn upside-down clowns right side up again. The book tells the story of Jesus, who brings joy to even the most joyless of people.
