My Life as Claus

By: Chuck Hubbell

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

This book is about a journey. A journey of creating magic with children. It sheds light on why creating Magic for children is important. It is about a journey into the realm of children whose innocence is taken from them far too soon. It is about smiles and laughter and secrets and perhaps a little magic that results in believing. Believing for a moment longer or if we are lucky, another year. Or if we really believe perhaps that magic can last a lifetime. But this story is about so much more. It is about what children gave me as I evolved into being a Santa Claus. It is about how I became a much better person. It is a story about how I gained insight and understanding in the power of believing, even when believing seems impossible.

Dying Church Living God

A Call to Begin Again

By: Charles Meyer,Chuck Meyer

Make a new church. That's the challenge Chuck Meyer lays down for readers. He writes that the institutional church we know so well is dying. In fact, it may already be dead. Its structure and theology make no sense today, and haven't for decades. It has ceased to be an adequate instrument for the Living God who refuses to be bound by it, to it, or in it. Dying Church, Living God is a provocative, radical look at the church as it enters the 21st century. "In the midst of all this enormous change, the Church still conducts worship services at hours based around 19th-century milking schedules...There is an incredibly deep spiritual hunger gnawing at people" that Chuck Meyer believes the church must address. Acknowledgement of the death of the church and the inevitable resurrection is both the premise and the promise of this provocative, enlightening book.

Westhampton

Golden Days and Memories for a Lifetime

By: Chuck Mansfield

WESTHAMPTON: Golden Days and Memories for a Lifetime is Mansfield’s seventh book. Its preface begins with, “Westhampton is in my blood.” In some 300 pages the author makes his case by telling sometimes hilarious tales of family, friends and situations. He calls his “life experiences in Westhampton...the most joyful in my nearly four score years. They have provided clear and warm memories all the way from childhood to the present day, a span of more than 76 years. The richness of these experiences is inestimable but oh so gratifying, as they were golden days and memories for a lifetime.” In his epilogue Mansfield writes: “An online dictionary defines nostalgia as ‘a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations.’ To me these words apply perfectly to my life and times in Westhampton.” It is a funny, story-telling book.

Fullerton's Rangers

A History of the New Mexico Territorial Mounted Police

By: Chuck Hornung

In 1890, the U.S. government declared the frontier settled, and the "Wild West" was history. In the territory of New Mexico, however, crime still knew no limit and the gun was the final answer to all problems. Aiming to help New Mexico achieve statehood, its leaders decided they needed a mounted police force like those that had tamed Texas and Arizona. This book describes the birth of the New Mexico Mounted Police in 1905 and tells the stories of the members of the original Mounties, starting with their first captain, John F. Fullerton. Information drawn from personal interviews with ranger family members (many of whom provided photographs), Fullerton's personal papers and official Mounted Police records brings a wealth of detail to this story from New Mexico's rich history. Fred Lambert, the last surviving member of the territorial rangers, provides a foreword.

Upstate Uncovered

100 Unique, Unusual, and Overlooked Destinations in Upstate New York

By: Chuck D'Imperio

An exciting travel guide for Upstate New York road warriors, history lovers, and tourists. In Upstate Uncovered Chuck DImperio mines deep into his travel journal and shares an astonishing array of fun and amazing places in Upstate New York that the casual traveler might otherwise miss. As one of Upstates most ardent advocates, DImperio has traveled the backroads and byways of the region seeking out the stories, tales, and folklore writ upon the landscape. He takes readers to one hundred small towns and cities from the Hudson Valley to the High Peaks of the Adirondacks and out through the rolling hills of the Finger Lakes region. Not only a reflection of the road less traveled, Upstate Uncovered includes pertinent information such as websites, photographs, personal interviews, and explicit directions to each of the included entries. While flipping through the pages, readers will be amazed at what turns up around every backroads corner in the region. This book is a delight. Its raw meat for people (like me) who love to find and enjoy obscure historical treasures, but it is much more. Anyone who lives or travels in Upstate New York will be surprised and delighted at how much there is to discover and enjoy there. The nations smallest church? The grave of The Moses of her people? New Yorks biggest pair of pants? The town where Oz began? A two-story outhouse? (You read it right.) The birthplace of The Twilight Zone? Theyre all here, and more, in witty, warm, and lucid prose. Enjoy. You will. Mac Nelson, author of Twenty West: The Great Road Across America Upstate New Yorkthe area north of New York Cityis full of interesting and historically significant places to visit, explore, and enjoy. Much of its history has been slighted or overlooked. Chuck DImperio seems to have visited just about every community in New York in the course of his research for Upstate Uncovered and previous excellent books on the region. DImperio has a flair for descriptive and evocative writing, bringing history to life through his on-site interviews and shrewd historical observations. This is exciting history, well told, and engaging. Even readers who know New York history will find lots of surprises and new insights. Upstate Uncovered conveys a deep sense of the variety, vitality, and drama of Upstate New Yorks history. Bruce W. Dearstyne, author of The Spirit of New York: Defining Events in the Empire States History

Wyatt Earp's Cow-boy Campaign

The Bloody Restoration of Law and Order Along the Mexican Border, 1882

By: Chuck Hornung

What can be learned from another retelling of the Tombstone saga? Recent revelations challenge the traditional view of Wyatt Earp's campaign against the Cow-boy confederation as a bloody personal feud a la western fiction. It was a seek and destroy mission sanctioned by the United States attorney general, the U.S. marshal and the Arizona Territory governor, following a year of corrupt law enforcement in league with the Cow-boys' livestock raids, stagecoach holdups and other atrocities. Presented in three sections, this book establishes the major players involved in the convergence on Tombstone, provides an account of Earp's activities during the 18 months prior to the final action and discusses the provenance and credibility of the "Otero Letter." Discovered in 2001, the letter--believed to be written by New Mexico Territory Governor Miguel Otero--offers evidence that Earp's party was given government aid. The author examines the details of the letter, including the shotgun dual between Earp and Curly Bill, the split between Earp and Doc Holliday, sanctuary for the Earp posse in Colorado and Holliday's extradition fight, Earp's covert assault resulting in Johnny Ringo's death, and the controversial courtship and marriage of Earp and Josephine Marcus.

Recipes from That Florida Patio Daddy-O

By: Chuck Varney

This is the true story of an American hunter, Bruce VanBuskirk, who spent the 2001 season living a dream, working on safari in Zimbabwe. Full of fascinating characters, adventure and excitement, it also deals truthfully with the hard lessons learned about the future of hunting in Africa. This is a day by day description of the events, places and people who make the safari industry work in Zimbabwe. If you're tired of reading the same old books from the professional hunting writers, stories filled with technical details but no passion for the hunt or for Africa, then this is a book for you. If you want to know what really happens behind the scenes in order for a safari to occur, then this is a book for you. You'll travel the bush with the author, getting to know the professional hunters and clients, company employees, local villagers, and learn just how much work it takes to run a safari operation in a third world country. Fuel shortages, poaching, war vets seizing property, broken rifles, snakes, charging elephants, and wounded buffalo were all in a day's work. This is a rare look at the behind the scenes efforts to make a client's dreams come true. this deluxe paperback features non stop action, observations on the current political situation in Zimbabwe, as well as the stories of citizens forced to deal with the realities of life in Africa. Illustrated with over 70 images.

Cipriano Baca, Frontier Lawman of New Mexico

By: Chuck Hornung

This is the first biography of the legendary officer Cipriano Baca, scion of a prestigious Spanish lineage tracing their heritage to the first settlers in Nuevo Mexico. Baca was well educated and a successful businessman before beginning a 52-year career as a peace officer. Tenderhearted by nature, he could be cold as steel, even lethal, doing his duty. He was a man of honor and principle in an age of greed and selfishness. Baca was first an undercover range detective, next a deputy sheriff and a deputy U.S. marshal. In 1901, the territorial governor appointed him the first sheriff of the newly formed Luna County, and in 1905, the territorial governor selected him as the first man to become the lieutenant of New Mexico's newly established territorial rangers. Written with the full cooperation of the Baca family and utilizing public and private records, this biography presents the truth about a complicated man. One revelation: Baca discovered who was the real killer of Pat Garrett and the motive behind the murder of the man who killed Billy the Kid.

The Magic of Being the Claus

By: Chuck Hubbell

This book is about a journey-my journey of creating magic with children that have magically transformed my personal life. Once I became Santa Claus, I realized the beauty and wonderful it is to have children believe in something positive. Today's children have to grow up far too quickly. When the Big Guy in the red suit helps create magic by listening to children, the season's joy is manifest. Being Santa has allowed me to abandon the traditional; "Naughty and the Nice" list. As Santa, I am not the Arbiter of Good and Evil. Nor as Santa do I sit in the judgment seat. As Santa, I endeavor to help children of all ages to find ways to be kinder, gentler people. Santa focuses on how good everyone's life can be when they seek not to harm others. My journey is a spiritual one allowing me to be the best person I can be. The person that God has intended for me to become. The most rewarding aspect is in helping children to believe in themselves and the rewards of Paying it Forward.
