Book Description
In the first complete biography of Thomas Walsh, John Stewart recounts the tycoon's life from his birth in 1850 and his beginnings as a millwright and carpenter in Ireland to his tenacious, often fruitless mining work in the Black Hills and Colorado, which finally led to his discovery of an extremely rich vein of gold ore in the Imogene Basin. Walsh's Camp Bird Mine yielded more than $20 million worth of gold and other minerals in twenty years, and the mine's 1902 sale to British investors made Walsh very wealthy. Despite his fame and lavish lifestyle, Walsh is remembered as an unassuming and philanthropic man who treated his employees well. In addition to making many anonymous donations, he established the Walsh Library in Ouray and a library near his Irish birthplace, and helped establish a research fund for the study of radium and other rare western minerals at the Colorado School of Mines.

Pages : 244
Book Description
"The future of our civilization, our liberties, our very existence may depend upon the acceptance of her commands." --William Thomas Walsh This was the conclusion reached by William Thomas Walsh, distinguished author, historian, and teacher, after he had thorougly investigated the miracle of Fatima. Here is the whole remarkable story of the appearance of the Blessed Virgin Mary to three simple children at an obscure Portuguese village in 1917. Her prophecies of World War II and the rise of communism, her plea to humanity to do penance, her promise that world peace and the conversion of Russia would take place if her messages were heeded -- these are some of the dramatic events in this fascinating account of a modern miracle. Our Lady of Fatima is a magnificent re-creation of an event whose effects are still reverberating throughout the world -- the appearance in person of the Mother of God with a "peace plan from heaven."

Once in a Green Summer
Author: Thomas F. Walsh
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
Once in a green summer in the west of Ireland there was a large family that grew up in a small house surrounded by fields. There was fresh water in the well, food to be harvested from the earth and not a plastic bag to be seen. There was love of the land and fear of the Lord, and there was a priest in the family. There was a father who cared for the straightness of his drills and the shape of his corn stacks, whose sons all left and who saw the old world crumble around him. There was a mother who left a well-to-do family to raise ten children in a small cottage and who gave them love beyond measure. It was a world where ghosts were real, where stories were as old as time, where imagination was more powerful than fact. It was a world we once lived in, now vanished forever. The author has put together a delightful collection of memories of that vanished world, seen through the eyes of a child who grew up in the shelter and certainty of its unchanging ways.

Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Do your desires have you going around in circles? You may be looking for fulfillment in all the wrong places. You vowed you’d never repeat the same mistakes—yet you find yourself right where you started. What is it that keeps drawing you back into the same old traps? The fact is, your longings are built from the blueprint of your needs: for protection, for love, for God. And those needs aren’t going anywhere. Sheila speaks candidly about the trials in her life, including the heartache of her first marriage, and intertwines her story with the biblical saga of King David. As both Sheila’s and David’s stories make clear, some cravings are misguided, but they all stem from the same hunger—and they will haunt you until that hunger gets satisfied properly. If you keep reaching out to the wrong people at the wrong times in your own life, The Longing in Me will help you understand that your cravings are not the problem. It’s where they lead you that makes all the difference.
