Book Description
If you are reading this now, you have the book I have written in your hands. If you choose to read this book you will actually be reading two stories, both stories are true. Remember that old cliché that the truth is sometimes stranger than fiction? Well this just happens to be stranger than fiction. You can’t make this stuff up. Part one of my story is about Buster’s life. And it was a rough start, almost from day one, which was November 2°”, 1942. It was if he was angry from his very first day on this earth. Starting with his eviction from l grade to his unsuccessful one day attendance at a Catholic school, to his one year stay at Philadelphia Children’s Hospital for Rheumatic Fever, which left him with heart damage, I’d say that was a rough start, wouldn’t you? Some may have described Buster as an angry, troubled young boy. That couldn’t be farther from the truth I decided later on that Buster wasn’t angry at all. He was just always trying to prove that he could be anythkg that he wanted to be. The fact was that he knew what he wanted to be at a very young age, he knew how he planned to get there, and he was determined to achieve his goals at any cost and no one was going to stop him. I talk about Buster’s family and friends and how they may have influenced or had an impact on his life decisions, which ultimately led to his untimely death on October 8th, 1976. Part two of my book is the bizarre part of his story. If you don’t find part one interesting enough, I suggest that you skip to part two. I guarantee you’ll find it more interesting. There are several rumors as to why someone thought Buster had to die, we just don’t know which is true or if there could be another reason that we don’t know about. His young widowed wife Carol has spun many tales over the past years and truthfully we don’t know what is true and what is a product of her imagination. She has told us about who the killers are and how the killers themselves end up murdered. She tells us how crooked the Las Vegas detectives investigating the murder are and how they try to implicate her own family. This goes on for over 30 years and we still don’t know the truth. After reading this story, you can decide for yourself what is true and what is not, if you choose to. The problem is, unless you were there, you will have the same problem that I have to this day. I don’t know why he had to die and I don’t know who did it.

Oklahoma's Atticus
Author: Hunter Howe Cates
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 149620090X
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 237
Book Description
Tulsa, Oklahoma, 1953: an impoverished Cherokee named Buster Youngwolfe confesses to brutally raping and murdering his eleven-year-old female relative. When Youngwolfe recants his confession, saying he was forced to confess by the authorities, his city condemns him, except for one man—public defender and Creek Indian Elliott Howe. Recognizing in Youngwolfe the life that could have been his if not for a few lucky breaks, Howe risks his career to defend Youngwolfe against the powerful county attorney’s office. Forgotten today, the sensational story of the murder, investigation, and trial made headlines nationwide. Oklahoma’s Atticus is a tale of two cities—oil-rich downtown Tulsa and the dirt-poor slums of north Tulsa; of two newspapers—each taking different sides in the trial; and of two men both born poor Native Americans, but whose lives took drastically different paths. Hunter Howe Cates explores his grandfather’s story, both a true-crime murder mystery and a legal thriller. Oklahoma’s Atticus is full of colorful characters, from the seventy-two-year-old mystic who correctly predicted where the body was buried, to the Kansas City police sergeant who founded one of America’s most advanced forensics labs and pioneered the use of lie detector evidence, to the ambitious assistant county attorney who would rise to become the future governor of Oklahoma. At the same time, it is a story that explores issues that still divide our nation: police brutality and corruption; the effects of poverty, inequality, and racism in criminal justice; the power of the media to drive and shape public opinion; and the primacy of the presumption of innocence. Oklahoma’s Atticus is an inspiring true underdog story of unity, courage, and justice that invites readers to confront their own preconceived notions of guilt and innocence.

Pages : 188
Book Description
Dr. Marcia Maynard, famous child psychoanalyst and infant researcher, was murdered in her bed at the El Dorado Apartment House in Manhattan by an unknown killer. Psychoanalyst Mary Wells helps solve the mystery with her astute analytical and psychological skills. In conjunction with her lover Detective John Franklin, they are an almost unstoppable team. Dr. Wells and Lt. Franklin are devastated to hear that his "Auntie Marcie" and Well's colleague and former analyst has been murdered. The pair, who are both in mourning for Maynard, need all their wits about them as they question her colleagues, staff, and friends. Finding someone angry enough to kill Maynard was not difficult, as many people had been mistreated by the doctor. The suspects included her beautiful Indian housekeeper, Asha Rupashi, whom Maynard continually abused and who was a beneficiary in Maynard's will, her chief associate for 30 years, Dr. James Whirter, a man her colleagues said she treated "like a lapdog," Rogerio Chavez, a Chinese restaurant delivery man, whom Maynard had insulted and infuriated, and several suitors whom she had rejected. The book ends with the killer opening up under ingenious psychological questioning by Dr. Wells, who then falls into Lt. Franklin's arms.

Buster Keaton
Author: James Curtis

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 833
Book Description
**One of Literary Hub’s Five “Most Critically Acclaimed” Biographies of 2022** From acclaimed cultural and film historian James Curtis—a major biography, the first in more than two decades, of the legendary comedian and filmmaker who elevated physical comedy to the highest of arts and whose ingenious films remain as startling, innovative, modern—and irresistible—today as they were when they beguiled audiences almost a century ago. "It is brilliant—I was totally absorbed, couldn't stop reading it and was very sorry when it ended."—Kevin Brownlow It was James Agee who christened Buster Keaton “The Great Stone Face.” Keaton’s face, Agee wrote, "ranked almost with Lincoln’s as an early American archetype; it was haunting, handsome, almost beautiful, yet it was also irreducibly funny. Keaton was the only major comedian who kept sentiment almost entirely out of his work and . . . he brought pure physical comedy to its greatest heights.” Mel Brooks: “A lot of my daring came from Keaton.” Martin Scorsese, influenced by Keaton’s pictures in the making of Raging Bull: “The only person who had the right attitude about boxing in the movies for me,” Scorsese said, “was Buster Keaton.” Keaton’s deadpan stare in a porkpie hat was as recognizable as Charlie Chaplin’s tramp and Harold Lloyd’s straw boater and spectacles, and, with W. C. Fields, the four were each considered a comedy king--but Keaton was, and still is, considered to be the greatest of them all. His iconic look and acrobatic brilliance obscured the fact that behind the camera Keaton was one of our most gifted filmmakers. Through nineteen short comedies and twelve magnificent features, he distinguished himself with such seminal works as Sherlock Jr., The Navigator, Steamboat Bill, Jr., The Cameraman, and his masterpiece, The General. Now James Curtis, admired biographer of Preston Sturges (“definitive”—Variety), W. C. Fields (“by far the fullest, fairest and most touching account we have yet had. Or are likely to have”—Richard Schickel, front page of The New York Times Book Review), and Spencer Tracy (“monumental; definitive”—Kirkus Reviews), gives us the richest, most comprehensive life to date of the legendary actor, stunt artist, screenwriter, director—master.
