Book Description
The East Texas Connection By: Ronald Armstrong The East Texas Connection is about many of the people and friends that make up Ronald Armstrong’s everyday life. The antics and situations that they and he are flung into are sometimes of their own accord and sometimes by accident. There's nothing better than true stories except true stories from Texas and outlaw antics. The outlaw antics range from motorcycles to the Piney woods to the body shop. There are hundreds of thousands of people just like Armstrong and his Brothers and Sisters in this book who can relate to these stories and might even have better ones than he tells. What makes this book unique is that Armstrong is willing to allow everyone a peek inside his world which has a vast range of interests from his Motorcycle Club, his Bigfoot sightings, hunting mishaps, encounters with the LAW, workplace chaos, Jesus and a .45, black powder explosions, haint's and so many varieties of stories that it's like a buffet of entertainment. Armstrong hopes that everyone who reads his book laughs and that the stories help readers disconnect from the everyday struggles and stresses of life.

Book Description
All too often, when Americans think of the American Revolution, they think only in terms of the events that occurred in the thirteen English colonies. Important as they were, they do not tell the whole story. An oft-neglected part of it concerns the role of Spain in the American Revolution. A generally unknown part of it is the Texas connection. Overlooked by most historians much too long, the contribution of Spain, Texas included, was vital in the winning of American independence two hundred years ago.

Book Description
During six months in 1862, William Jefferson Whatley and his wife, Nancy Falkaday Watkins Whatley, exchanged a series of letters that vividly demonstrate the quickly changing roles of women whose husbands left home to fight in the Civil War. When William Whatley enlisted with the Confederate Army in 1862, he left his young wife Nancy in charge of their cotton farm in East Texas, near the village of Caledonia in Rusk County. In letters to her husband, Nancy describes in elaborate detail how she dealt with and felt about her new role, which thrust her into an array of unfamiliar duties, including dealing with increasingly unruly slaves, overseeing the harvest of the cotton crop, and negotiating business transactions with unscrupulous neighbors. At the same time, she carried on her traditional family duties and tended to their four young children during frequent epidemics of measles and diphtheria. Stationed hundreds of miles away, her husband could only offer her advice, sympathy, and shared frustration. In An East Texas Family’s Civil War, the Whatleys’ great-grandson, John T. Whatley, transcribes and annotates these letters for the first time. Notable for their descriptions of the unraveling of the local slave labor system and accounts of rural southern life, Nancy’s letters offer a rare window on the hardships faced by women on the home front taking on unprecedented responsibilities and filling unfamiliar roles.
