Ride the Razor's Edge

The Younger Brothers Story

By: Carl W. Breihan

Follow the legendary adventures of two of the Wild West’s most notorious outlaws in this historical biography. Like their partners in crime Frank and Jesse James, the Younger Brothers have been glorified in the lore of the Wild West. Famous for their daring train and bank robberies, and immortalized in the film The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid, the Younger brothers—Cole, James, John, and Bob—came to symbolize the grit and cunning of the nineteenth century frontier. Ride the Razor’s Edge chronicles their adventures while placing them in their wider historical context. From fighting in the Civil War alongside William Quantrill and his band of guerrillas to their famous raid in Lawrence, Kansas, to their first bank robbery in Liberty, Missouri, the Youngers became heroes of the people—and foes of their state. Using family archives, personal letters, and interviews with surviving family, author Carl W. Breihan presents an authoritative and captivating story from their days with the Confederacy to Cole’s and James’s years in a Minnesota prison, and Cole Younger's fight to adapt to life after his pardon.

Mary Lincoln, Wife and Widow

By: Carl Sandburg

This is a book of rare distinction. Curiously, this classic biography of America's most tragic First Lady by one of America's most distinguished biographers and poets has long been out-of-print. Both the author and the subject deserve greater historical attention, and what emerges from the book is a haunting portrait of an enigmatic life, written with a style and sensitivity that is both sympathetic and unflinching.

Comet

By: Carl Sagan,Ann Druyan

What are these graceful visitors to our skies? We now know that they bring both life and death and teach us about our origins. Comet begins with a breathtaking journey through space astride a comet. Pulitzer Prize-winning astronomer Carl Sagan, author of Cosmos and Contact, and writer Ann Druyan explore the origin, nature, and future of comets, and the exotic myths and portents attached to them. The authors show how comets have spurred some of the great discoveries in the history of science and raise intriguing questions about these brilliant visitors from the interstellar dark. Were the fates of the dinosaurs and the origins of humans tied to the wanderings of a comet? Are comets the building blocks from which worlds are formed? Lavishly illustrated with photographs and specially commissioned full-color paintings, Comet is an enthralling adventure, indispensable for anyone who has ever gazed up at the heavens and wondered why. Praise for Comet "Simply the best." —The Times of London "Fascinating, evocative, inspiring." —The Washington Post "Comet humanizes science.

Paul Dean overcame abject poverty to become one of the most famous men in America. He went from picking cotton alongside poor blacks and other migrant workers to dining with Hollywood stars, politicians, and Captains of Industry.

Quantrill and His Civil War Guerrillas

By: Carl W. Breihan

Originally published in 1959, Carl W. Breihan’s Quantrill and His Civil War Guerrillas is a concise, well-researched biography of one of the famous Civil War figures, William Clarke Quantrill (1837-1865). The action takes place mostly around the Kansas-Missouri border, dating from before the Civil War to just afterward. William Clarke Quantrill was a Confederate guerrilla leader during the American Civil War. Having had a knockabout youth resulting in becoming a school teacher, Quantrill joined a group of bandits who roamed the Missouri and Kansas countryside apprehending escaped slaves. Later on this group became Confederate soldiers, who were referred to as “Quantrill’s Raiders”. This group was a pro-Confederate partisan ranger outfit best known for their often brutal guerrilla tactics, which made use of effective Native American field skills. Quantrill’s group included the young Jesse James (1847-1882) and his older brother Frank James (1843-1915), and portraits of both infamous outlaws are included in this engaging biography.

Marilyn Monroe

A Life of the Actress, Revised and Updated

By: Carl Rollyson

In American popular culture, Marilyn Monroe(1926–1962) has evolved in stature from movie superstar to American icon. Monroe's own understanding of her place in the American imagination and her effort to perfect her talent as an actress are explored with great sensitivity in Carl Rollyson's engaging narrative. He shows how movies became crucial events in the shaping of Monroe's identity. He regards her enduring gifts as a creative artist, discussing how her smaller roles in The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve established the context for her career, while in-depth chapters on her more important roles in Bus Stop, Some Like It Hot, and The Misfits provide the centerpiece of his examination of her life and career. Through extensive interviews with many of Monroe's colleagues, close friends, and other biographers, and a careful rethinking of the literature written about her, Rollyson is able to describe her use of Method acting and her studies with Michael Chekhov and Lee Strasberg, head of the Actors' Studio in New York. The author also analyzes several of Monroe's own drawings, diary notes, and letters that have recently become available. With over thirty black-and-white photographs (some published for the first time), a new foreword, and a new afterword, this volume brings Rollyson's 1986 book up to date. From this comprehensive, yet critically measured wealth of material, Rollyson offers a distinctive and insightful portrait of Marilyn Monroe, highlighted by new perspectives that depict the central importance of acting to the authentic aspects of her being.

Jazz In The Bittersweet Blues Of Life

By: Wynton Marsalis,Carl Vigeland

The thrill of sitting in a club or concert hall hearing jazz being made is familiar to most fans. But what if you could immerse yourself in the world of the musician, where creating and performing is a profound task, and yet as routine as breathing? When writer Carl Vigeland was invited to tour with Wynton Marsalis and his septet, he was able to do just that. Vigeland's acute observations sweep us into their world as he becomes virtually part of the band. At the same time, Marsalis offers intimate meditations on home, family, creation, and performance--written in the cadence of his inimitable voice. Set on the stage, in the studio, and in great cities and small towns around the world, this richly textured narrative explores how the music is made in America today.

Old Mountain Dues

Old Mountain Dues

By: Carl E. Wirtanen

It is the time when tourists from New York City, Boston, and even Chicago as well as other locations in the general vicinity would come to relax and rejoice in the bucolic scenery and grand vistas of the Catskill Mountains which were in Greene County, New York. In the middle 1800 ́s roads were bad and most travel to the hotels near and in the mountains was by stage over independently-owned turnpike toll roads. Early attempts by entrepreneurs and visionaries were fraught with delay and failure as they attempted to put the “Iron Horse” to work replacing the stage. One project that actually got to the point of operation even though it wasn ́t completed was the Canajoharie & Catskill Rail Road. This very early railroad lasted about two years, from 1838 to 1840 and then went bankrupt. By 1880, several hotels had been built along the ridge in the heart of the Catskills. While they weren ́t as elegant or well-located as the Catskill Mountain House which was built on a ledge overlooking the Hudson River Valley, they provided increased opportunity for another group of entrepreneurs. This new group had forgotten about the old C&C and began to plan to bring more people to the mountain hotels via railroads. Another entrepreneur from Pennsylvania, George Harding, began building an even grander hotel than Beach ́s Catskill Mountain House just south of it and overlooking the same valley. He opened the Kaaterskill Hotel in 1882 and immediately began to work to get a railroad connecting to his hotel. The owner of the Catskill Mountain House as well as the Day Line and Evening Line Steam ship companies ́ owners and investors planned and began building the Catskill Mountain Railroad. This railroad would run from where the steamships docked at “The Landing” at the mouth of the Catskill Creek and the Hudson River to the foot of the escarpment below the Catskill Mountain House. From there, tourists would take a stage up the Mountain House Road to the Catskill Mountain House preferably, or to other hotels. Their goal was to provide fast and comfortable transportation to as close as they could get to the Catskill Mountain House. With the threat of the Kaaterskill Hotel and the other railroads imminent, the Catskill Mountain Railroad was built in 1881 and opened through South Cairo on the old Catskill &Canajoharie road bed, and then late in 1882 on to Lawrenceville at the foot of the mountain. As the railroad looked forward to a good year in 1883 as its first full season of operation, it still needed more revenue to be fiscally viable. This is the background of the times in which the events of this tale take place in two weeks in early April, 1883. Lester Overmeyer was born early in the 19th century into the hotel business in Coxsackie and worked in his family ́s hotel for many years and then went to work for the hoteliers that leased the Mountain House Hotel on :South Mountain for some time. While there, he decided he ́d like to buy that hotel and build it into his own business. When he lost the opportunity to purchase it to C.L. Beach, he vowed to get it back someday, somehow. As the years passed, he became successful in New York City and invested in hotels in competition with Beach ́s Mountain House. He even built his own hotel in Tannersville to compete with Beach and participates in Harding ́s Kaaterskill Hotel venture as a way to indulge his hatred of Beach. However, Beach is much more successful and aggressive than Lester had foreseen. When he learns of Beach ́s attempts to build a new railroad to the Mountain House, he decides must take action to keep him from becoming even more successful in competing with Lester ́s investments. About the time he made this decision, a young, brand new Methodist minister, Riley Gillen, comes to Leeds, New York. It just so happens, he used to be a police officer in New York City, but for some reason he does not like to share with anyone, decided to make a major career change.

Cleburne County and Its People

By: Carl J. Barger

Cleburne County and Its People is a historical account of Cleburne County and the men and women who made it what it is today. These men and women were as diverse as the Ozark Mountain's rock-laden landscapes.

Cleburne County and Its Peoplehas drawn from the past and the present--chronicling the lives of settlers facing hardships and tragedies, discovering profound beauty, mastering vast natural resources, and formulating democratic ideals. The stories in this book are honest interpretations of the human experience intertwined with the old and the new and adding exciting dimensions to the county of Cleburne and the state of Arkansas. The objective of Carl J. Barger, the compiler of Cleburne County and Its People, is to preserve a history of the county of his birth for students, historians, and all of the citizens of Cleburne County. Carl J. Barger is the author of Swords and Plowshares, a Civil War love story, and Mamie, an Ozark Mountain Girl of Courage, a story of the Ozark Mountain people, set in Cleburne and Van Buren Counties.

Recognizing Rural Ministry

Moving from Anecdotal Assumptions to Data Derived Opportunities

By: Carl P. Greene

Rural ministry can be a frustrating endeavor. Traditional metrics of success are misleading and anecdotal, one-size-fits-all approaches which often fall flat in the field. In Recognizing Rural Ministry, Carl Greene uses his research to suggest tools to customize your ministry to your community and effectively engage often-overlooked mission fields. These tools come from data-driven academic research presented through the lens of the author's lived experience as a dairy farmer, rural pastor, hospice chaplain, rural layperson, rural policy advocate, and administrator of a network of churches. The book is intended for rural ministry practitioners who want to use current scholarship to better examine the complexity and diversity of rural contexts. The book engages with the rural ministry impact of cultural phenomena such as the rise of the "Spiritual but Not Religious" (SBNR) phenomenon and "early old age" (EOA) demographics. The text also addresses key theories surrounding rural subcultures, demographic tools available to describe rural communities, and the shaping influence of rural community rituals on religiosity. Intended for pastors, seminarians, college students, and rural laypersons who are passionate about adding to their toolbox of rural ministry assessment.

Biochemistry and Physiology of Herbicide Action

By: Carl Fedtke

Herbicides are part of modern agricultural production systems and therefore contribute significantly to the economy of agricultural products. At the same time, herbicides are potent and specific inhibitors of plant metabolism and may therefore be used as valuable tools in basic plant physiological research. A well-known example is the photosynthesis-inhibiting herbicide diuron, known to plant physiologists as DCMU, which has become one of the essentials in modern photosynthesis research. Similarly, knowledge in other areas of plant metabolism may be advanced by the use of herbicides as specific inhibitors. This book describes the effects of herbicides on the metabolism of higher plants from the viewpoint of the plant physiologist. The material of this book is therefore, as far as possible, divided into areas of metabolism. This book intends (1) to present the reader with current knowledge and views in the area of herbicide modes of action and (2) to promote the future use of herbicides as metabolic inhibitors in plant physiological research to the advantage of both, the pesticide and the plant sciences. I wish to express my thanks to my colleagues and friends Prof. N. Amrhein, Prof. E. Elstner, Dr. L. Eue, Dr. J. Konze, Dr. K. Liirssen, Dr. W.Oettmeier, Dr. H. Quader, Dr. R. R. Schmidt, Dr. R. H.

The Melody of Motion: Following Phish and Widespread Panic

By: Carl Cole

Since the time of The Grateful Dead there has always been a certain percentage of the population who have found deep meaning in improvisational rock music. With the death of Jerry Garcia the torch was passed to a new generation of musicians and fans who continue this legacy through Phish and Widespread Panic. The Melody of Motion is able to do what no other book has been able to do: explain in depth why people forsake their jobs, families, and responsibilities to cross a continent following these bands. The story follows Melody, a young woman intent on living her life to the fullest, as she discovers Phish and Widespread Panic. The music and the people she meets effect the rest of her life. This is not the story of the bands, but of the people living their lives in the parking lots. The story is filled with colorful characters one is likely to meet on tour and the insane episodes everyone who has been to one of these concerts can relate to.
