Book Description
in 1993 an historian wrote: ..". The lynching was especially atrocious: Two young black men were seized, dragged into the woods, and there chained to trees and tortured to death with blowtorches while a howling crowd of whites cursed and taunted them. Photographs were made of the dead bodies...." (K.S. Davis) This historical novel - ground-breaking in its emotional and graphic intensity - portrays the impact of that atrocity (1937) on two empathetic boys who didn't taunt, but secretly snapped pictures of the living, screaming victims (ironically, one given FDR's surname) - and desperately tried to stop it! Two against 500 (some came by school bus). After failing, they fled in despair - but with their Brownie Eagle Eye. Now on a compelling mission - because they'd been 'Ou t T h e r e .' Shattered, then galvanized, by the failures and heart-breaks of Book I, 'Einstein' Brian and 'Maestro' Marcus become avenging angels in Book II, sworn to strike 'Preacher-Creature Cecil' and his 'henchmen from hell' with the swords of retribution, self-defense, and 'un-Southern' justice. Kids no more, they begin to act like God: 'Somebody has to...!' With images of brutality preserved in camera, conscience, and nightmares, they write to Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt, and accept their invitation to dinner at the White House. Re-committed to the most profound 'what-if' of the Twentieth Century, the boys mutually pledge themselves to a daunting 'rendezvous with destiny.' And a Time Capsule ticket to 5,000 years into the future from Albert Einstein.......

Author: Nathaniel Bailey
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc

Category : Fiction

Pages : 179
Book Description
At the tender age of thirteen, Xshay Rankins was made to witness the murder of his father, Daniel Rankins. He himself was allowed to be spared as a walking example to all those who would oppose his father's murderer. But what his father's murderer didn't know was that instead of lowering the number of his enemies, he inadvertently made another one-one that would someday be responsible for his downfall. When Xshay Rankins first began committing murders, it was for vengeance, until he realized he liked it. And the more pleasure he gained from committing murder, the more sadistic his mind began to think. While having his hands full trying to take down Bruce Harrington, a.k.a. Boss, a man who was trying to become a living legend by committing the most horrendous murders known to man, Xshay also had to avoid being captured by Detective Tom Marshall, someone whom he believed had never closed his eyes without first closing a case.

Lincolnites and Rebels
Author: Robert Tracy McKenzie
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199884714
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
At the start of the Civil War, Knoxville, Tennessee, with a population of just over 4,000, was considered a prosperous metropolis little reliant on slavery. Although the surrounding countryside was predominantly Unionist in sympathy, Knoxville itself was split down the middle, with Union and Confederate supporters even holding simultaneous political rallies at opposite ends of the town's main street. Following Tennessee's secession, Knoxville soon became famous (or infamous) as a stronghold of stalwart Unionism, thanks to the efforts of a small cadre who persisted in openly denouncing the Confederacy. Throughout the course of the Civil War, Knoxville endured military occupation for all but three days, hosting Confederate troops during the first half of the conflict and Union forces throughout the remainder, with the transition punctuated by an extended siege and bloody battle during which nearly forty thousand soldiers fought over the town. In Lincolnites and Rebels, Robert Tracy McKenzie tells the story of Civil War Knoxville-a perpetually occupied, bitterly divided Southern town where neighbor fought against neighbor. Mining a treasure-trove of manuscript collections and civil and military records, McKenzie reveals the complex ways in which allegiance altered the daily routine of a town gripped in a civil war within the Civil War and explores the agonizing personal decisions that war made inescapable. Following the course of events leading up to the war, occupation by Confederate and then Union soldiers, and the troubled peace that followed the war, Lincolnites and Rebels details in microcosm the conflict and paints a complex portrait of a border state, neither wholly North nor South.
