Italian - Yes! by Italian-American Women's Club Pdf

The title of our book says it all. We are a group that formed a club to express our joy and pride at being Italian. Our culture is so rich since Italy was invaded by Greeks, French, Spanish and Normans and each enriched the Italian culture by leaving a bit of their own. Italians have customs that date far back in history. The St. Joseph’s Table is one of them. A table is laden with delicious food and many are invited to partake of the ethnic foods. At Easter Time, Italians make Pane Cena, bagel-like bread with a cross cut into the dough. The taste of anise is a reminder of the importance of Easter in their lives. On the feast of Epiphany, Italians celebrate little Christmas, the day La Befana, the Christmas witch comes to reward good children with gifts. Bad children receive a piece of coal. Hopefully there are not too many that are “bad”. Italians have a great sense of humor; they find things to enjoy when there is not much to laugh at. They also have a great spirit of compassion, especially for the poor or oppressed. In Italy, when the Jews were hunted down and killed, Italians risked their lives to save them. They hid them for months, taught them to speak Italian and then passed them as relatives. Compassion was the factor that saved many lives.

Haunted Cemeteries by Tom Ogden Pdf

From the days of ancient Greece, people have hurried their steps as they passed by—or, Heaven forbid, walked through—a cemetery after dark. Indeed, over the centuries we’ve developed many a superstition to protect ourselves from restless graveyard ghosts. Haunted Cemeteries exhumes more than two dozen stories of some of the most actively haunted graveyards both in this nation and abroad, including:DIV • The Greenwood Hauntings: Greenwood Cemetery in Decatur, Illinois, is one of the most ghoulish graveyards in America’s Heartland, sporting at least five individual entities, a gaggle of ghost lights, and a whole trainload of Civil War dead./divDIV • Pretty in Pink: The ethereal ghost of the Pink Lady floats over the graves of the Yorba Cemetery in Yorba Linda, California—on June 15 of even-numbered years, that is./div • The Queen of Voodoo: The restless spirit of Marie Laveau, the nineteenth-century Queen of Voodoo, is said to appear in New Orleans’s St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 in the form of a gigantic black crow or a phantom black hellhound—when she’s not walking through the French Quarter.

Disasters and Tragic Events [2 volumes] by Mitchell Newton-Matza Pdf

From the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 to the Sandy Hook school massacre of 2012, this two-volume encyclopedia surveys tragic events—natural and man-made, famous and forgotten—that helped shape American history. Tragedies and disasters have always been part of the fabric of American history. Some gave rise to reactions that profoundly influenced the nation. Others dominated public consciousness for a moment, then disappeared from collective memory. Organized chronologically, Disasters and Tragic Events examines these moments, covering both the familiar and the obscure and probing their immediate and long-term effects. Unlike other works that concentrate on a particular type of disaster, for example, weather- or medicine-related tragedies, this two-volume encyclopedia has no such limits. Its entries range from natural disasters, such as hurricanes and tornadoes, to civic disturbances, environmental disasters, epidemics and medical errors, transportation accidents, and more. The work is a perfect supplement for history classes and will also prove of great interest to the general reader.

Summary of Jeff Coen's Family Secrets by Everest Media, Pdf

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Nick was a technician, and he would stalk his victims, following them and learning as he watched them move. He would figure out how to kill them, and then disappear. #2 Nick was in the mob, and he was afraid to quit. He was a quiet man, and the mob appreciated that. He was given a job, and in a Chicago lunch-bucket kind of way, it got done. #3 The Chicago Outfit was a group of six street crews that controlled everything from gambling to pornography. They were not so much geographic territories as seats of power. #4 The Chicago Outfit had many capos, or leaders, who were in charge of different crews. The top two were Joey Doves Aiuppa and his second in command, Jackie Cerone. They demanded absolute loyalty and could impose their will with just a look or a gesture.

Family Secrets by Jeff Coen Pdf

Even in Chicago, a city steeped in mob history and legend, the Family Secrets case was a true spectacle when it made it to court in 2007. A top mob boss, a reputed consigliere, and other high-profile members of the Chicago Outfit were accused in a total of eighteen gangland killings, revealing organized crime's ruthless grip on the city throughout the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Painting a vivid picture of murder, courtroom drama, family loyalties and disloyalties, journalist Jeff Coen accurately portrays the Chicago Outfit's cold-blooded--and sometimes incompetent--killers and their crimes in the case that brought them down. In 1998 Frank Calabrese Jr. volunteered to wear a wire to gather evidence against his father, a vicious loan shark who strangled most of his victims with a rope before slitting their throats to ensure they were dead. Frank Jr. went after his uncle Nick as well, a calculating but sometimes bumbling hit man who would become one of the highest-ranking turncoats in mob history, admitting he helped strangle, stab, shoot, and bomb victims who got in the mob's way, and turning evidence against his brother Frank. The Chicago courtroom took on the look and feel of a movie set as Chicago's most colorful mobsters and their equally flamboyant attorneys paraded through and performed: James “Jimmy Light” Marcello, the acting head of the Chicago mob; Joey “the Clown” Lombardo, one of Chicago's most eccentric mobsters; Paul “the Indian” Schiro; and a former Chicago police officer, Anthony “Twan” Doyle, among others. Re-creating events from court transcripts, police records, interviews, and notes taken day after day as the story unfolded in court, Coen provides a riveting wide-angle view and one of the best accounts on record of the inner workings of the Chicago syndicate and its control over the city's streets.
