Wherever You Go

The Life of Jane Heard Clinton: Indian Territory Bride

By: Cecile Davis Richards

More than a century ago, a lovely young Georgia aristocrat named Jane Carroll Heard came to the Indian Territory. She was the bride of Fred Severs Clinton, a handsome blue-eyed blond who was part Creek Indian, from the village of Red Fork on the Arkansas River. Their union was not only a lifetime affair of the heart, but an alliance of remarkable talents and abilities which would play a major role in transforming the little frontier village of Tulsey Town, I.T., into a booming mid-American city known as "The Oil Capital of the World." This is the story of Jane Heard Clinton, and of the people and values that molded her character and influenced her life. It is also the story of her life with her beloved Fred, and of the city they helped to build at the bend of the Arkansas River.

Dinner with Cecile and William: A Cookbook

By: Cecile Charles

William Maltese says: "Anyone who enjoys gourmet cooking, and who always yearns to experience an adventure when/while eating it, like I do, is exceedingly lucky whenever he finds a kindred spirit, professional or otherwise, who can spice things up with good and unique food, coupled with good wine and good conversation. There are many professional chefs who spend their lives on television, and/or in professional kitchens, wowing the public with their cooking artistry. There are those who aren’t professionals but who still cook and, actually, invent their own recipes, and who mainly slip public notice, because they and their food aren’t on display 24/7. This book introduces you to Cecile Charles, once one of the former, now one of the latter: a gourmet-cook extraordinaire who has invented, and still invents, her own recipes, and whose culinary creativity always leaves me inspired and astounded whenever she joins me in the kitchen or at the dining table." Here are 200 of chef Cecile Charles's gourmet health-and-healing dishes, all of them tested, sampled, and organized by her co-author, William Maltese. This is as good as it gets!

Detroit's Mount Elliott Cemetery

By: Cecile Wendt Jensen

Mount Elliott Cemetery is Detroit's oldest extant cemetery, started by the Catholic community in 1841. The consecrated ground is named for architect Robert T. Elliott, who was instrumental in purchasing the land and was the first interment. The roads in the cemetery honor religious leaders: (Pope) Pius Avenue, Bishop LeFevere Avenue and Place, and Bishop Borgess Avenue. The remaining roads carry biblical themes: Calvary Avenue, Holy Cross Place, Trinity Avenue, and Resurrection Avenue. Remains from Detroit's St. Anne's cemetery were brought to Mount Elliott, where French, German, and Irish surnames abound. The tombstones at Mount Elliott reflect family names well known in the tricounty area: Beaubien, Campau, Caniff, Chene, Cicotte, Moran, and Moross. These religious, business, and political leaders have left their names on buildings, roads, and landmarks. They are commemorated here with handcrafted marble, granite, and zinc memorials. Mausoleums honor families, including Palms, Scanlon, and Welch. Military burials include those who served in Napoleon's army, the War of 1812, the Civil War, World Wars I and II, and Vietnam. The special areas for the Detroit firemen and many Catholic religious orders pay homage to the groups of men and women who worked so selflessly to protect and serve the city. The Mount Elliott Cemetery Association provides perpetual care for Mount Elliott Cemetery and four sister cemeteries: Mount Olivet, Resurrection, All Saints, and Guardian Angel.

Detroit's Mount Olivet Cemetery

By: Cecile Wendt Jensen

Mount Olivet was the second Catholic cemetery developed by the Mount Elliott Cemetery Association. Now surrounded by city, Mount Olivet was nestled in the countryside when it opened in 1888. Directions in 1900 instructed visitors to reach the cemetery via train or electric streetcar. Round-trip was 35¢ on the Grand Trunk Railroad. The varied backgrounds of those buried in the consecrated ground at Mount Olivet reflect the surge in immigration to the city that spanned the early 20th century. Belgian, German, Italian, and Polish cultural, business, and political leaders are buried here. Each group clustered near its own Catholic parish and had its own funeral directors, photographers, and florists: Our Lady of Sorrows (Belgian), St. Joseph (German), San Francesco (Italian), and St. Albertus (Polish). Funeral directors included Charles Verheyden (Belgian), Frank J. Calcaterra (Italian), and Joseph Kulwicki (Polish), who officiated at the first burial at the cemetery. Military burials range from Civil War soldiers to those who fought in Vietnam. The cemetery is graced with beautiful marble and granite statuary and unique mausoleums designed by noted architects and featuring stained-glass windows. The Mount Elliott Cemetery Association provides perpetual care for Mount Olivet Cemetery and four sister cemeteries: Mount Elliott, Resurrection, All Saints, and Guardian Angel.

Apex Blues

A Biography of Jimmie Noone Sr. and His Son, Jimmy Noone Jr.

By: Cecile J. Picou

Apex Blues chronicles the extraordinary lives and musical legacies of two generation-spanning Jazz clarinet virtuosos: Jimmie Noone Sr. and his son Jimmy Noone Jr. Jimmie Noone Sr. rose to fame in the 1910s New Orleans French Quarter jazz scene, forging his iconic ‘Sweet Lorraine’ style during the dawn of the genre. Later, his son Jimmy initially made waves as a San Diego local musician before feeling called to follow in his father’s footsteps. He set out to revive his dad’s New Orleans Jazz sound and mentorship. As the author witnesses firsthand, Jimmy exceeds even his father’s musical heights through raw talent and relentless dedication to his craft. In his final days, he completes his quest: to honor Jazz history by propelling his father’s sound into the future. Jimmy cements the Noone legacy, ensuring the nation remembers what sublime Jazz can be. Spanning generations, geographies, and evolutions of musical style, Apex Blues captures how two clarinet greats shepherded Jazz from regional obscurity into an acclaimed American art form.

Make Trouble

Standing Up, Speaking Out, and Finding the Courage to Lead--My Life Story

By: Cecile Richards

From Cecile Richards, the former president of Planned Parenthood for more than a decade, daughter of the late Ann Richards, featured speaker at the Women’s March on Washington, and “the heroine of the resistance” (Vogue), comes “an enthralling memoir” (Booklist, starred review) filled with “practical advice and inspiration for aspiring leaders everywhere” (Hillary Rodham Clinton). Cecile Richards has been an activist since she was taken to the principal’s office in seventh grade for wearing an armband in protest of the Vietnam War. Richards had an extraordinary childhood in ultra-conservative Texas, where her civil rights attorney father and activist mother taught their kids to be troublemakers. She had a front-row seat to observe the rise of women in American politics and watched her mother, Ann, transform from a housewife to an electrifying force in the Democratic party. As a young woman, Richards worked as a labor organizer alongside women earning minimum wage, and learned that those in power don’t give it up without a fight. She experienced first-hand the misogyny, sexism, fake news, and the ever-looming threat of violence that constantly confront women who challenge authority. Now, after years of advocacy, resistance, and progressive leadership, she shares her “truly inspiring” (Redbook) story for the first time—from the joy and heartbreak of activism to the challenges of raising kids, having a life, and making change, all the while garnering a reputation as “the most badass feminist EVER” (Teen Vogue). In the “powerful and infinitely readable” (Gloria Steinem) Make Trouble, Richards reflects on the people and lessons that have gotten her through good times and bad, and encourages the rest of us to take risks, make mistakes, and make trouble along the way.

Breaking the Reading Barrier

By: Doris W. Gilbert,M. Cecile Forte

Appropriate for freshman/sophomore-level courses such as Introduction to College Reading, and Reading and Study Skills. Directed toward the "in-between" reader who is competent in handling simple, familiar materials, but lacks independence in handling more difficult passages, this time-tested volume focuses on some of the basic factors which can prevent the effective reading of sentences, paragraphs, and longer selections.
