The Man from Waco by William W. Johnstone,J.A. Johnstone Pdf

Meet John Bannack. Jailed for a crime he didn’t commit. Busted out of a Texas State Prison. Running for freedom and gunning for justice. They call him . . .THE MAN FROM WACO. As a young man, John Bannack worked hard on his brother’s farm—until times got tough and his brother grew desperate. Desperate enough to rob a bank. Unfortunately, John’s brother left a trail that led straight to the Bannack farm. When a posse showed up to make an arrest, John made a fateful decision: He confessed to his brother’s crime. Sacrificed his freedom for the sake of his brother’s family. And doomed himself to a hard, hellish life in a rat-hole state prison . . . A man’s got two choices in a place like that: Get tough or get killed. For John Bannack it means this will be a one-way trip to Hell. Bannack is on a work detail outside the prison. On the way back, Judge Wick Justice, who sentenced Bannack, tags along with the prison wagon, only to find he has involved himself in a planned prison break. When a gang ambushes the wagon and frees the prisoners, they bullet-blast the guards—and the judge takes a hunk of lead himself. But Bannack finds the judge alive and takes him to safety. In return, the judge releases him from prison and employs him as his bodyguard and avenger. Johnstone Country. A New Texas Legend.

Raid on Innocence by Billy H. Dean Pdf

Raid on Innocence In the years before the Civil War began, the small town of Salinas, Indiana was starting a period of growth that could turn this farming community into a small city. The driving force behind the growth was the combined effort of two hard-working farmers with a vision to make Salinas one of the major cities in southern Indiana. William Consley raised and trained quality saddle, team, and workhorses for most of the farmers and businessmen in the northern half of the county. He always had 30 to 40 horses on his 300-acre farm but could sometimes have as many as 10 additional that were being trained. Andrew Davis had an expanding cattle business that reached out to support other businesses in the community. His 1000 acres could support over 500 head of cattle that he sent to the slaughterhouse in town, and then sent the hides to the tan yard to be made into leather. The ice harvesting he did in the winter allowed his beef to be shipped back east to market. All of his businesses provided employment for a large portion of the citizens of the community and encouraged an influx of more settlers to the town. There weren't any citizens who had a stake in the slavery issue even though most of them still had strong ties to relatives in the south. When war does break out, only a few young men volunteer to go in the Army, either North or South. The community makes every attempt to avoid the war until the war came to them. What happens that day will surprise and shock you and will explain what becomes of the town afterwards.

The Fruits of Murder by Edwin B. Morgan Pdf

Mike and Jessup Galvin were the young sons of a hardscrabble Christian Kansas farmer whose stern leadership demanded hard work from dawn to dusk. They left the rigors of toil to seek their fortune at Oklahoma's opening of the Cherokee Strip. Jessup managed to claim a marginal tract of land, on which he discovered a hidden creek-bank cave, first serving as his dwelling and later sheltering a corn whiskey still. Mike craved excitement and obtained a job as Deputy Marshal, charged with helping to control the run for land, afterward joining an outlaw gang. The famed Marshal Nix and his fellow lawmen soon made that adventure too risky, so he moved to Chicago to work for Al Capone. In Oklahoma, Jessup met and married Emily, the daughter of a local baker, who encouraged him to shorten his name to Jess. They birthed two sons, Roberto and Emmet, whom Jess looked upon as a source of cheap labor. They were abused and put to work in his fields before they were of school age. Joel Galvin, the youngest son, was treated much differently than his older boys, causing friction between them, later resulting in a family feud. Roberto married Greta and started his own family. In an entirely different style of romance, Emmet courted and married Greta's cousin, Elizabeth. Her father, Cal Ames, owned and operated the largest business in Enid, Oklahoma, a flourmill. Greed and the bitter memory of childhood abuse prompted Roberto to do the unthinkable, leading him and his brothers into a twisted, unexpected series of events that would changes their lives forever. The Fruits of Murder, as the Galvin brothers learned, are sometimes bitter, sometimes sweet. The story of the Galvin family is one of physical abuse, illicit activities, greed, sibling strife, and an unsolved murder. Riches are gained and misfortunes are encountered. Although strictly fiction, this plot was spawned by court records involving a nationally known family.

"That's What They Used to Say" by Donald L. Fixico Pdf

As a child growing up in rural Oklahoma, Donald Fixico often heard “hvmakimata”—“that’s what they used to say”—a phrase Mvskoke Creeks and Seminoles use to end stories. In his latest work, Fixico, who is Shawnee, Sac and Fox, Mvskoke Creek, and Seminole, invites readers into his own oral tradition to learn how storytelling, legends and prophecies, and oral histories and creation myths knit together to explain the Indian world. Interweaving the storytelling and traditions of his ancestors, Fixico conveys the richness and importance of oral culture in Native communities and demonstrates the power of the spoken word to bring past and present together, creating a shared reality both immediate and historical for Native peoples. Fixico’s stories conjure war heroes and ghosts, inspire fear and laughter, explain the past, and foresee the future—and through them he skillfully connects personal, familial, tribal, and Native history. Oral tradition, Fixico affirms, at once reflects and creates the unique internal reality of each Native community. Stories possess spiritual energy, and by summoning this energy, storytellers bring their communities together. Sharing these stories, and the larger story of where they come from and how they work, “That’s What They Used to Say” offers readers rare insight into the oral traditions at the very heart of Native cultures, in all of their rich and infinitely complex permutations.

The Creole Historical Romance 4-in-1 Bundle by Gilbert Morris Pdf

The Creole Historical Romance Bundle is a 4-in-1 eBook series from bestselling authors Gilbert and Lynn Morris and includes The Exiles, The Immortelles, The Alchemy, and The Tapestry. The Creoles Series is a captivating group of novels set in nineteenth-century New Orleans, revolving around the romantic adventures of four girls who become close friends while attending the Ursuline Convent School in New Orleans. Each book focuses on one woman as she faces the trials of life and faith. The Exiles introduces Chantel Fontaine, who has finished her education at the Ursuline Convent. Readers will follow her through the streets and swamps of Louisiana as she falls in love, faces the loss of both her parents, and searches for the baby sister she thought was lost forever. The Immortelles follows Damita De Salvado who receives a beautiful slave girl, Rissa, for her sixteenth birthday. She mistreats Rissa, revealing her prejudice and hardening Rissa's heart. When her family experiences financial hardships, Damita grudgingly sells Rissa to a mysterious Christian doctor, Jefferson Whitman, who is Rissa's adopted brother. Now the tables have turned: Rissa is a wealthy, free woman, while Damita's family struggles to keep the plantation. The Alchemy focuses on Simone d’Or, a vivacious young woman hardened by high society life, and Colin Seymour, a talented young man from humble beginnings. As the famed singer and composer Lord Beaufort nurtures Colin's singing voice, Colin rises to stardom in the opera world. At first, Simone judges Colin as a man beneath her standing, but after hearing Colin at the opera, she finds herself captivated by his talent and passion. Meanwhile, Simone's brother places the family name in jeopardy by his gambling debt, and she must face the possibility of marrying Vernay, a rigid young man of equal status who is feared for his skill in dueling others to the death. The Tapestry is the striking conclusion to The Creoles Series sharing the story of Leonie Vernay. Abandoned as an infant on the steps of the Ursuline Convent School, Leonie has endured the emotional and financial poverty of an orphan. Now a young woman making her way as a humble seamstress in New Orleans, she is startled by a mysterious stranger who claims to know her identity—and her relatives. Will she find acceptance with her long-lost family, or is she on a misguided quest?
