This is the story of Mary Slade and her husband, Clint, who were cattle ranchers in western New Mexico and eastern Arizona. They were hard-working folk who carved a good living out of some very rugged land. They worked side-by-side tending cattle, cutting and bailing their hay, and pulling calves. Ranching basically equates to a lot of very long days and a lot of hard work.

Come go with Mary in her move as a five-year-old girl from Big Bend country in Texas to New Mexico and then on to Arizona. Experience life from her young perspective as she meets her future husband at age five and the elopes with him at age 15. As you read her story you'll discover the impact of her Christian faith on her life and those around her. Her faith was a powerful force when she faced the great trials of life. Mary's faith and joy in the Lord are contagious, affecting family and friends, as she confronts a heart-rending attack on Clint. In 2002 Clint was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. By 2006 the full force of this dreaded disease rocked their world and changed their lives forever. Her story will be a help and a blessing to all who journey with Mary through the ups and downs of her life as a rancher, wife and mother, and care giver. You too can find her faith and and receive the courage to get through all the storms of your own life.

Paul Whiteman
Author: Don Rayno
Publisher: Scarecrow Press
ISBN: 0810883228
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 894
Book Description
In a career that spanned 60 years, Paul Whiteman changed the landscape of American music, beginning with his million-selling recordings in the early 1920s of “Whispering,” “Japanese Sandman,” and “Three O’Clock in the Morning.” Whiteman would then introduce “symphonic jazz,” a powerful blend of the classical and jazz idioms that represented a whole new approach to modern American music, influencing generations of bandleaders and composers. While some hold that at the close of the Roaring Twenties Whiteman’s musical hegemony quickly waned, Don Rayno illustrates in this second volume of Paul Whiteman: Pioneer in American Music how much of a dominant figure Whiteman remained. A major figure on the American music scene for decades to come, he would continue to lead critically-acclaimed orchestras, filling theaters and concert halls alike and diligently seeking out and nurturing musical talent on the largest scale of any orchestra leader in the 20th century. In this second volume of Rayno’s magisterial treatment of the life and music of this remarkable maestro, Whiteman’s career during the second half of his life is explored in the fullest detail, as Whiteman conquers the worlds of theater and vaudeville, the concert hall, radio, motion pictures, and television, winning accolades in all of them. Through hundreds of interviews, extensive documentation, and exhaustive research of over nearly three decades, a portrait emerges of one of American music’s most important musical figures during the last century. Rayno paints a stunning portrait of Whiteman’s considerable accomplishments and far-reaching influence.
