Of Those We Loved

A Narrative 1914–1919 Remembered and Illustrated

By: I L (Dick) Read

The Author was among the first to respond to Kitcheners call for volunteers in 1914. He joined 8th Battalion, The Leicestershire Regiment at the outbreak of war as a Private and, within weeks, he and the Battalion were heading for Northern France with the British Expeditionary Force.In this superb memoir we see how the spirit of adventurous patriotism that carried him to war gradually turns to sober reflection as the fighting intensifies and he loses so many friends and comrades at the Battles of the Somme and the Marne.In 1917 he is commissioned into the Royal Sussex Regiment and makes a long, hazardous journey to Egypt to join his new battalion only to be recalled to take part in the Second Battle of the Marne, where his leadership and bravery win him the Croix de Guerre. Written with great modesty and insight, Dick Reads account contains a wealth of graphic descriptions of his experiences over the whole period of The Great War including the Somme 1916, Hindenburg Line, Egypt, Flanders and the Final Advance. The book is further enhanced by the inclusion of excellent drawings by the Author himself.Many memoirs will be published to commemorate the Centenary of the War to end all Wars but it can be said with confidence that Of Those We Loved is unlikely to be bettered. It makes for gripping reading both at home and as a companion onany visit to the Battlefields. Refined over the years, but retaining a rare sense of authenticity, this is a moving personal record of a survivors war and a profoundly moving epitaph for a lost generation.

Unnamed Country

The Struggle for a Canadian Prairie Fiction

By: Dick Harrison

Americans have an idea of what the Great Plains did to the people who settled there but know little about the analogous process north of the 49th parallel, or how it was reflected in fiction. Dick Harrison's Unnamed Country fills this gap. Harrison traces the varying literary responses to the Canadian prairies, from the bewilderment of the first English-speaking visitors, who saw the country in essentially negative terms -- no wood, no water -- down to the contemporary novelists who are employing sophisticated modem fictional techniques to reinterpret the whole experience from a new perspective. Between these two ends of the literary continuum he finds the early writers of fiction too loaded down with what he calls "excess cultural baggage" brought from Britain or eastern Canada to see the country as it was; the early twentieth-century writers, bemused by the myth of the garden, who portrayed the prairies subdued and fruitful; the prairie realists of the 1920s and 1930s, akin to O. E. Rolvaag in their tragic view; and their contemporaries, the popular novelists, who depicted the pioneering process in more affirmative tones.

Iowa and the Death Penalty | A Troubled Relationship | 1834 - 1965

By: Dick Haws

Forty-six men (no women) were hanged on Iowa gallows between 1834 and 1965, the time span when capital punishment was the land of the land in Iowa. "Iowa and the Death Penalty" tells who the men were, what they did, what issues they and their crimes raised. Forty-three were murderers, three were rapists. They committed some of the most heinous crimes in Iowa history, but their deaths have left behind lingering questions. Iowa's experience with the death penalty was not a comfortable one.

With One Hand Tied Behind His Back

The Life and Times of Gail Stuart

By: Dick Ramsey

When you ́re eighteen you don ́t get tired, you don ́t get cold, nothing terrible will ever happen, and you can do anything with one hand tied behind your back. Say hello to Gail Stuart, the protagonist of With One Hand Tied Behind His Back: The Life and Times of Gail Stuart. He ́s an eighteen year old college freshman falsely accused of stealing a midterm Geology test. Presuming they ́re nabbed, test thieves get an F for the test, possible expulsion, and, if the police are involved, arrest for a high misdemeanor. But what if new information makes the case a felony, which it does, despite the fact that the word evidence seems to have disappeared from the language. Gail is then joined by bribable and buyable administrators, dodging and ducking department heads, a cowardly martinet from the board of regents, and a babble of noble, corrupt, and partly corrupt students, fraternity blokes, instructors, proprietary secretaries, anxious editors, sleazy reporter, attorneys, cops, and local citizens, all either hoping Gail is innocent or that he takes the rap. How he overcomes his dilemma is further convoluted by other avocations and unplanned adventures, a full course schedule, a sorority hasher ́s job, a fraternity membership, a couple of physical altercations, and even his own retail business. With One Hand Tied Behind His Back also presents the Stuart family. Roderick Bruce Stuart II, Gail ́s father is a descendant of Charles II of England. His family has lived in Minneapolis since the 1860s. Gail ́s mother, Charlotte Fairfax Stuart, comes from renegade Swiss mercenaries, degenerate French apaches, and more civilized Virginia farmers. Find out what she does with her life and how it influences her son. Finally, With One Hand Tied Behind His Back presents the Midwest college scene of 1954 where the expanding economy of post World War II and the GI Bill have increased the number of students, including women. One of them, the self assured and competent Rebecca Brickerhaus, will share and adventure or two and fall in love with Gail Stuart. Ah, yes. How could it be otherwise.

The Wildly Irish Sextet

By: Dick Wimmer

Following on from his rollicking trilogy, Irish Wine, Dick Wimmer returns with five exuberant new tales about Seamus Boyne, the greatest painter in the world. Among the cast of characters back with him to continue the wild ride are the Boynes' saucy daughter, Tory, and Seamus's best friend, the writer Gene Hagar. Fast-paced and irreverent, these stories offer more of Wimmer at his best--an alchemist who stirs emotional turmoil into tomfoolery and misadventure to create hilarious adventures that leave readers wanting more.
