Cousin Joe by Pleasant "Cousin Joe" Joseph,Harriet J. Ottenheimer Pdf

A remarkable blend of history and drama seen through the eyes of a noted New Orleans bluesman. This extraordinary life history is the result of more than 15 years of recorded conversations, pieced together into a narrative of a uniquely American experience. Joseph's colorful portrayals of the characters who parade through his life document more than 70 years of changing relationships between blacks and whites. In his own words, he describes growing up in Louisiana, working a rice plantation, and how Gospel music put him on a career path. His candid remarks underscore the economic necessity prevalent in a musician's life. Within the tales of gigs, card games, and romantic exploits are intimate glimpses of legendary figures, including Billie Holiday and Muddy Waters. His descriptions of performing in New Orleans, New York, and Europe are especially revealing, filled with life experiences as rich as the rhythm and lyrics of the blues he played.

You Can Go Home Again by Fred "Max" Roberts Pdf

You Can Go Home Again opens with a story of growing up black in the hostile and segregated South, where even at nine years old, Dave already realizes a striking difference between how black and white people are treated. Dave's parents are law-abiding citizens and God-fearing Christians, but this is still the era of segregation with its rampant racism, and a time when a black boy faces a dismal future.

As soon as he's old enough, he joins the Marines and begins to discover the world. Upon his return from Japan, he moves to Philadelphia and begins to discover life and learns the hard way that dreams don't always come true. You Can Go Home Again, Fred's second book, is the prequel to his first book, The Delivery Man.

Horse Apples Volume 2 by Chip OBrien Pdf

This is a collection of all my poems and stories, most of which are true stories and others, a good laugh. My writings are for you, the reader, to enjoy. I have written in the language that cowboys always enjoy. My previous publications include, Downwind n' Cows (Not the best place to be), the Outhouse Reader as bathrooms are hard to find and all the large ranches have them still. Many of my readers have punched a hole in the left topside and hung them in the outhouses with a piece of the twine, I'm not sure they were read or used when the sears catalogue runs out of pages. My last book was called "Horse apples" and was sized too slim in the saddle bag.

The Secret Lives of People by L. M. Hughes Pdf

This book is an anonymous collection of real diary entries received from people who responded to an ad on Craigslist.org. It contains true personal stories written by a variety of different women, and captures the love, heartbreak, and raw emotion that they experience in their lives and within their relationships. Have you ever wondered what makes people tick? Or if you're normal? This book is full of genuine "dear diary" entries where women talk about their innermost thoughts - they confess what it feels like to have an affair, experiment with cutting, lose their virginity, participate in group sex, have an abortion, struggle with mental illness, or lose a friend to suicide. These are the sometimes funny, sometimes sad, and always fascinating real life private experiences that expose The Secret Lives of People. The book is part "The Diary of Anne Frank," if it were written in modern-day America by a variety of adult women, and part "The Glass Castle," with a little bit of "50 Shades of Gray" thrown in for good measure. The book gives readers the guilty pleasure of reading a stranger's diary, while at the same time, giving a voice to people who wanted to share their deepest secrets, without the fear of judgment. Book is NOT suitable for minors.

A Century of Jewish Life In Dixie by Mark H. Elovitz Pdf

The first substantial history of the Jews in the industrial south This is the first substantial history of the Jews in any inland town or city of the industrial South. The author starts with the Reconstruction Period when the community was established and he carries the story down into the 1970’s. First there were the “Germans,”' the pioneers who built the community; then came the East Euopean emigres who had to cope not only with the problem of survival but the disdain if not the hostility of the already acculturated Central European settlers who had forgotten their own humble beginnings. After World War I came the fusion of the two groups and the need to cooperate religiously and to integrate their cultural, social, and philanthropic institutions. Binding them together and speeding the rise of a total Jewish community was the ever present fear of anti-Jewish prejudice and the “peculiar” problem, a real one, of steering a course between the Christian Whites and the Christian Blacks.
