The Mystery of Jacob Engles

And Other Short Stories

By: George Ewing Ogle

The title story, The Mystery of Jacob Engles, was inspired by a real family mystery. Family history information abruptly ended with the author’s paternal grandfather, George Ewing Ogle. But there seemed to be an understanding that the real great-grandfather was likely to be a man by the name of Jacob Engles, who went off to the Civil War in 1864 and was gone for decades. Lacking real answers, the author weaves a moving tale, accounting for the missing years, explaining how the family became Ogles, and telling how Jacob Engles ended back in the hometown to find his family. The other ten short stories in this collection were written over the period of sixteen years, and most were also inspired by real people.

Stories From The Colorado Coal Mines

Rocky Road to Justice

By: George E. Ogle; Dorothy L. Ogle

STORIES FROM THE COLORADO COAL MINES is a collection of George Ogle’s books of historical fi ction. The fi rst story focuses on events surrounding the “Ludlow Massacre” (1914) and the “Columbine Massacre” (1927). The second book revisits these same events, but with another look at the tumultuous period in between, that insured a disastrous outcome. The third is a story based on Japanese immigrant workers in the early 20th century. Four young Japanese men from different backgrounds meet aboard ship on their way to work in the USA. Each man forges his own adjustment to his new environment in the midst of death and racial tensions.

How Long, O Lord

Stories of Twentieth Century Korea

By: George E. Ogle and Dorothy L. Ogle

HOW LONG, O LORD? reflects the ongoing prayers of Korean people for freedom and justice as they undergo the oppressions of the twentieth century. A combination of historical fiction and autobiography, this collection tells history as stories about peasants, industrial workers, and ordinary citizens who endured and reacted to Japanese imperialism, foreign occupation, division of the country, war and cruelty of military dictators. Father and Son, spanning the years from 1919 to the mid-1970´s, is a story of two generations of peasants who fought for dignity and justice but get caught in the struggles of greater world forces. The next three stories focus on the courage of South Korean industrial workers who, by refusing to be submissive to those in power, have moved Korea in the direction of democracy and human rights. Prayer for the Innocents, My Body, and Tearoom tell of the torture and execution of eight men falsely accused of being part of a conspiracy to overthrow South Korea´s military dictatorship. Because he offered public prayers for these men, the author was deported from Korea in 1974. The last story was inspired by the author´s interviews with North Korean refugees in Russia. Escape into Bondage tells of two men who cannot return home. They become "brothers" as their lives are joined in a perilous odyssey in Russia where they have no legal status. One finds haven in South Korea. Through his experiences and interactions with his new friends, we gain insight into the complexities facing those who struggle for peace and reunification of Korea.
