Not only does this new book record a factual story of my great-grandfather Jesse James in print, but also helps the reader get to know Jesse's true personality and appearance. A great contribution toward separating facts from folklore and provides a guide for any future photo identification work." --James R. Ross, Superior Court Judge of the State of California, great-grandson of Jesse James A name well known to most Americans, Jesse James was a veteran of the Civil War, a bankrobber, and a very romanticized popular hero. Although James has been the subject of countless biographies and historical novels, as well as the theatre and cinema, new light can still be shed on his life. In The Many Faces of Jesse James, author, the late Phillip W. Steele, with George Warfel, presented a fascinating study of James' life using his many portraits as a frame of reference. Steele took each documented photograph of James and examined it closely, showing how the dress, demeanor, and physical well-being of James relate to what scholars believe him to have been doing at the time. Since the possibility of more actual portraits and photographs of James exists, Steele explained the process George Warfel has devised to accurately identify Jesse James, even including a group of "false photos" of James to illustrate his point. Fans of James-Younger gang lore will appreciate this fresh, yet practical approach to understanding this enigmatic historical figure. Readers for whom Jesse James is only a name will no doubt become more knowledgeable about the complex circumstances that led the outlaw to lead the life he did.

The Supernatural in Short Fiction of the Americas

The Other World in the New World

By: Dana Del George

The continuing cultural encounters of the Americas, between European and indigenous cultures, and between scientific materialism and premodern supernaturalism, have originated new narrative forms. While supernatural short fiction of the Americas belongs to the broad category of the fantastic, which is generally approached synchronically, reading audiences of the past 200 years have shifted their beliefs about the supernatural several times. While nineteenth-century readers understood science as real and the supernatural as imaginary, modern audiences recognize both as inaccurate, a shift which allows authors of supernatural fiction to celebrate premodern indigenous beliefs which were once disdained by a materialist culture. This book situates supernatural short fiction of the Americas within the changing cultural and epistemological contexts of the last 200 years and explores how authors have drawn upon a wealth of indigenous traditions. The book begins with a discussion of theories of the supernatural and the fantastic. It then looks at some of the first encounters of European and Native American supernatural beliefs and points to the common elements of these early traditions. The volume next focuses on American literature of the nineteenth century, which has a complex fusion of materialist biases and metaphysical fascinations. The final portion of the book gives greater attention to Spanish-American literature and the blending of the supernatural with attitudes of nostalgia and uncertainty.

What's Next, George?

How One Man Turned Pastimes Into Paychecks

By: George Campbell

As I learned and observed, I discovered that the oil business was similar to going to Atlantic City and gambling in the casinos. Even if at times you won big, eventually there'd be a losing streak that would leave you broke. I am not a gambler in the sense that I'll play the slots or the roulette wheel, so with the realization that I was in a business that was just as much a gamble as the gaming tables, I decided it was time to get out. Some of my investors who had hit oil didn't like the news that I was closing up shop. But within three months when the bottom fell out of the entire oil industry in the States, and they wanted to understand how I knew to quit. The only answer I could give them was that the Lord was directing me in some mysterious way.Want to turn your hobby into a lucrative career? This is an inspirational book for every would-be entrepreneur who's ready to get up off the couch and get to work! Meet George Campbell, the ultimate Renaissance man. With a work ethic instilled in him by his dad, George has successfully translated what he does for fun into business after business. Walk a mile in his shoes and you'll wear yourself out! George has partnered with his dad to cut salt hay, started a private gunning preserve, built homes and subdivisions, gotten investors and drilled oil wells in Kentucky and Indiana, operated a crabbing business and a miniature golf course, and now sells his own ceramic art. You'll be invigorated to take on life's challenges and find yourself askingWhat's Next, George?

Invisible Crises

What Conglomerate Control Of Media Means For America And The World

By: George Gerbner

According to the contributors to this volume, the communications media deliberately blank out critical conditions and developments whose imagery would pose unacceptable challenges to the dominant structures of culture-power. Such "invisible crises" include the suppression of information about the dehumanization and stigmatization of groups of people; the drift toward ecological suicide; the neglect of vital institutions such as public education and the arts; the way in which television corrupts the electoral process; and the promotion of practices which drug, poison and kill. The book asks why the media are, in the view of contributors, withholding vital information from the public, and focuses on the increasing concentration of culture-power that, it is argued, keeps these truths from public view.
