By: Jim Downey

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Horses and Helicopters, is about my father Major James R. Downey JR, US Army Retired and Technical Sgt. James R. Downey III. MA, US Air Force Retired, and their military experiences. [Part I] "Horses" is an chronological review of "Pops" travel. He did not talk much about experiences except when he and his military friend met and I happened to be listening. My thought was that I would at least leave a little taste for my kids. It would have been nice if I knew more about that part of his life. It all really got started when I received a questioner from one of the fighter squadrons I had the privilege being part of during the Vietnam Conflict. After Vietnam. I put the questioners on a computer and would work on answering the questions time permitted. I used the question as a guide; the answer might not have anything to do with the question, but did key a memory. Each question has three responses, DaNang, Udorn, and Korat. About half way through the questions I became curious about what "POPs" experience were, so I went through all his pictures and papers to include some research information. I had to do his chronologically because I could not ask him questions. He died in 1986. He enlisted at the age of 16 in the Horse Calvary 1927 breaking horses, thus the Horse part of the book. He is on the cover and is the trooper in the middle. His travels started in 1930 to the Philippines & China, 1932 when Japan invaded. . In the 1940's he went from being a First Sargent of a Negro Artillery Battalion to 2nd Lieutenant. England, France, and Germany were next, and then back to the Philippines for the X Day invasion. Then 1949, WE went back to Germany as a family for three years occupation forces. In 1955 and after 28 years he retired. [Part II] "Helicopters" is about my 3 tours to The Republic of Vietnam (RVN). [1] In 1966 1967 Danang, (RVN) "Rocket City, Musical chairs and Russian roulette". 366 Tactical Fighter Squadron, F4 Phantoms. [2] In 1969 1970, Udorn, Thailand, L98 Laos, and Vietnam 40th ARRS, HH-53 aircraft. [3] In 1972 1973 Karat, Udorn Thailand, Ben Hoa RVN," Again with the rockets" 354 TFW. A7D aircraft.

Hull Creek

A Novel of the Maine Coast

By: Jim Nichols

Troy Hull has troubles. After the death of his parents, he left college to take up his family's traditional lobster-fi shing life. Now, thanks to poor fi shing, a misguided second mortgage, and the changing nature of his hometown, Troy fi nds himself faced with the loss of that life. As a former highschool classmate turned banker tells him: This isn't a fi sherman's town anymore. Indeed, soaring property values have made it increasingly a haven for land speculators, wealthy summer residents, and tax-sheltered retirees, and Troy's home- just off the harbor on a quiet stretch of Hull Creek-is exactly the sort of property these newcomers covet. So Troy must decide whether to join his friend on an illegal path to solvency or let the straight-andnarrow take him from his beloved home. Hull Creek is a timely tale of change on the coast of Maine and the challenges it brings to the men who still seek their livelihood from the sea.

Stephen Coonts' Deep Black

By: Stephen Coonts,Jim DeFelice

Move over Clancy, readers know they can count on Coonts." -Midwest Book Review A spy plane gathering data on a new Russian weapon is blown out of the sky by a mysterious MiG. Is it an accident or the start of the next world war? One U.S. agency has what it takes to find out-the National Security Agency and its covert operations team: DEEP BLACK. Working for the NSA, ex-Marine sniper Charlie Dean is dispatched to Russia, hooking up with former Delta Force trooper Lia DeFrancesca to find out what happened to the plane. The Deep Black team stumbles across an even more alarming secret-a plot to assassinate the Russian president and overthrow the democratic government by force. The coup could have dire consequences for Russia and the world. With no clearance from the government it's called on to protect, the National Security Agency goes to war. But before Lia and Dean can unravel the conspiracy, they learn that one of the spy plane's passengers-an NSA techie-survived the crash. Critical information could fall into enemy hands. And that enemy is playing to the death. "Coonts knows how to write and build suspense." --The New York Times Book Review

Brooklyn Dodgers in Cuba

By: Jim Vitti

The Brooklyn Dodgers held spring training in Havana in 1947 so Jackie Robinson could practice safely. Yet that was hardly the beginning: the Bums played in Cuba over 60 seasons, from 1900 to 1959. Ballplayers drank hard with Hemingway. Some found themselves in Cuban jails. Pitcher Van Lingle Mungo, barricaded in the Hotel Nacional with two women, fended off an angry husband (and his machete). Leo Durocher got into a brawl with an umpire, after Lippys translator correctly cursed him in Spanish. Vin Scully watched machine guntoting barbudas enter the room. An outfielder leaped into the stands, with a loaded gun, to chase a fan. Several players encountered Castro, who once walked onto the field in his fatigues, patted his pistol, and said to Lefty Locklin, Tonight, we win.

Death Wind

By: Travis Heermann,Jim Pinto

In this nineteenth-century horror thriller, a man investigating mysterious deaths near a Native American reservation confronts a malevolent spirit. In 1891, in the aftermath of the Wounded Knee massacre, awful nightmares and bizarre killing sprees shake the uneasy peace between a frontier town of White Pine and the Lakota on the nearby reservation. Pioneer doctor Charles Zimmerman finds himself at the forefront of the investigation and uncovers a crawling horror the likes of which he could not imagine. With the help of an orphaned farm girl, a smart-mouth stage robber, a beaten-down Lakota warrior, a beautiful medicine woman, and Charles’s estranged father—the aging town marshal—Charles must save not only the town of White Pine but also the starving Lakota from an ancient, hungry evil.

The Lost Dogs

Michael Vick's Dogs and Their Tale of Rescue and Redemption

By: Jim Gorant

An inspiring story of survival and our powerful bond with man's best friend, in the aftermath of the nation's most notorious case of animal cruelty. Animal lovers and sports fans were shocked when the story broke about NFL player Michael Vick's brutal dog fighting operation. But what became of the dozens of dogs who survived? As acclaimed writer Jim Gorant discovered, their story is the truly newsworthy aspect of this case. Expanding on Gorant's Sports Illustrated cover story, The Lost Dogs traces the effort to bring Vick to justice and turns the spotlight on these infamous pit bulls, which were saved from euthanasia by an outpouring of public appeals coupled with a court order that Vick pay nearly a million dollars in "restitution" to the dogs. As an ASPCA-led team evaluated each one, they found a few hardened fighters, but many more lovable, friendly creatures desperate for compassion. In The Lost Dogs, we meet these amazing animals, a number of which are now living in loving homes, while some even work in therapy programs: Johnny Justice participates in Paws for Tales, which lets kids get comfortable with reading aloud by reading to dogs; Leo spends three hours a week with cancer patients and troubled teens. At the heart of the stories are the rescue workers who transformed the pups from victims of animal cruelty into healing caregivers themselves, unleashing priceless hope. Includes an 8-page photo insert. Watch a video

Dugouts and Diamonds

Triumphs and Heartaches With the Texas Rangers

By: Jim Reeves

This deep dive on the Texas Rangers by Jim Reeves, an award-winning, ex-sports columnist for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, captures all the drama, humor, craziness and pathos. And tells how this journalist got his riveting stories. ''Few writers know baseball and people like Reeves, who has produced an intimate and entertaining recollection far removed from other grinding sports franchise histories. The Texas Rangers he portrays are humorous, heroic, and, quite often, heartbreakers. It's all here, from front office wheeling and dealing to zany clubhouse and press box moments; serious superstars to whimsical wannabes. In a word: Delightful.'' --Carlton Stowers, three-time Edgar Award winner and author of Oh Brother How They Played the Game

Since he was five years old all Tyler Kincaid really knew was baseball from when his great-grandfather gave him a 1920’s era baseball glove and he began to use it. By the time Tyler was in his late thirties baseball was still, for the most part, all that he had known. But now, sensing his playing days were coming to a close Tyler began to search for what life had in store for him next. Tyler then found himself in the small town of Cummings Hicks where he was playing for this city’s minor league baseball team. Little did he know that the town’s mysterious past and an unlikely source would help provide him the answers he was looking for, by learning about some of baseball’s most unusual history and anomalies.

Murdering Holiness

The Trials of Franz Creffield and George Mitchell

By: Jim Phillips,Rosemary Gartner

Murdering Holiness explores the story of the "Holy Roller" sect led by Franz Creffield in the early years of the twentieth century. In the opening chapters, the authors introduce us to the community of Corvallis, Oregon, where Creffield, a charismatic, self-styled messiah, taught his followers to forsake their families and worldly possessions and to seek salvation through him. As his teachings became more extreme, the local community reacted: Creffield was tarred and feathered and his followers were incarcerated in the state asylum. Creffield himself was later imprisoned for adultery, but shortly after his release he revived the sect. This proved too much for some of the adherents' families, and in May 1906 George Mitchell, the brother of two women in the sect, pursued Creffield to Seattle and shot him dead.

Thanks to an unconventional and irreverent—but effective—approach to the game, the underdog 2004 Red Sox captured the imagination of New England and the entire nation. In their quixotic quest, they defied an ancient curse and slew the hated Yankees en route to the October Classic and a meeting with the St. Louis Cardinals.

Blocking the I-10 Toll Scheme: A Successful Citizen Movement

By: Jim Zig Zeigler

On May 12, 2019, I was ready with a plan to fight the irresponsible I-10 toll scheme by Alabama's Governor and Department of Transportation. I started a Facebook group at no cost to organize the citizen opposition. We had one member - me. Within three months, we had gained 50,000 members. Not just names on a list. Active, e-mailing, snail-mailing, telephoning, meeting-going, friend-inviting, Facebook-promoting members. These citizen activists, most of them brand new to activism, fought and fought and -- WON. On Aug. 28, 2019, the toll scheme was pronounced dead. This book tells the story of how 50,000-plus citizens and I forced the toll scheme from an inevitable done deal to a dead deal. __Jim Zeigler, Alabama's State Auditor

The New Livestock Farmer

The New Livestock Farmer

The Business of Raising and Selling Ethical Meat

By: Rebecca Thistlethwaite,Jim Dunlop

Including information on cattle, pigs, poultry, sheep, and goats, and exotics like bison, rabbits, elk, and deer How can anyone from a backyard hobbyist to a large-scale rancher go about raising and selling ethically produced meats directly to consumers, restaurants, and butcher shops? With the rising consumer interest in grass-fed, pasture-raised, and antibiotic-free meats, how can farmers most effectively tap into those markets and become more profitable? The regulations and logistics can be daunting enough to turn away most would-be livestock farmers, and finding and keeping their customers challenges the rest. Farmer, consultant, and author Rebecca Thistlethwaite (Farms with a Future) and her husband and coauthor, Jim Dunlop, both have extensive experience raising a variety of pastured livestock in California and now on their homestead farm in Oregon. The New Livestock Farmer provides pasture-based production essentials for a wide range of animals, from common farm animals (cattle, poultry, pigs, sheep, and goats) to more exotic species (bison, rabbits, elk, and deer). Each species chapter discusses the unique requirements of that animal, then delves into the steps it takes to prepare and get them to market. Profiles of more than fifteen meat producers highlight some of the creative ways these innovative farmers are raising animals and direct-marketing superior-quality meats. In addition, the book contains information on a variety of vital topics: • Governmental regulations and how they differ from state to state; • Slaughtering and butchering logistics, including on-farm and mobile processing options and sample cutting sheets; • Packaging, labeling, and cold-storage considerations; • Principled marketing practices; and • Financial management, pricing, and other business essentials. This book is must reading for anyone who is serious about raising meat animals ethically, outside of the current consolidated, unsustainable CAFO (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations) system. It offers a clear, thorough, well-organized guide to a subject that will become increasingly important as the market demand for pasture-raised meat grows stronger.

The Unforgettable Story of the Fight to Survive Inside the Twin Towers

By: Jim Dwyer,Kevin Flynn

102 Minutes does for the September 11 catastrophe what Walter Lord did for the Titanic in his masterpiece, A Night to Remember . . . Searing, poignant, and utterly compelling."—Rick Atkinson, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of An Army at Dawn Hailed upon publication as an instant classic, the critically acclaimed New York Times bestseller and National Book Award Finalist for Nonfiction is now available in a revised edition to honor the anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001. At 8:46 a.m. that morning, fourteen thouosand people were inside the World Trade Center just starting their workdays, but over the next 102 minutes, each would become part of a drama for the ages. Of the millions of words written about this wrenching day, most were told from the outside looking in. New York Times reporters Jim Dwyer and Kevin Flynn draw on hundreds of interviews with rescuers and survivors, thousands of pages of oral histories, and countless phone, e-mail, and emergency radio transcripts to tell the story of September 11 from the inside looking out. Dwyer and Flynn have woven an epic and unforgettable account of the struggle, determination, and grace of the ordinary men and women who made 102 minutes count as never before. 102 Minutes is a 2005 National Book Award Finalist for Nonfiction.

Vulnerable Mission:

Insights into Christian Mission to Africa From a Position of Vulnerablity

By: Jim Harries

In this compendium, Jim articulates the impact of the nature and shape of the interface between the West and Africa, and how that interface works or does not work. Read on if you are interested in Africa, mission, development, globalisation, communication, linguistics, theology, dependency, or power dynamics in intercultural perspective. The conclusions reached in the fourteen articles in this compendium endorse Jim’s deepening conviction that some Western missionaries and development workers ought to engage in their ministries in Africa and the majority world using indigenous languages and locally available resources. To this end, Jim and some of his missionary colleagues formed the Alliance for Vulnerable Mission in 2007.

Lost in Austin

A Nevada Memoir

By: Jim Andersen

In 1974 Jim Andersen and his wife, tired of the congestion and high taxes in California, decided to start a new life in rural Nevada. They settled on Austin, a town of about 250 people perched on a mountainside along the legendary Highway 50, “the loneliest road in America.” In the middle of the nineteenth century, Austin was a free-wheeling boomtown at the center of a silver bonanza. By the time the Andersens arrived, it had shrunk to a quiet, isolated community of self-sufficient souls who ran their lives, economy, and local government their own way, with ingenuity, wit, and a certain disregard for convention. Andersen’s account of his life in Austin is a charming, sometimes hilarious account of city folks adapting to life in a small town. He addresses such matters as making a living from a variety of odd jobs, some of them odder than others; serving as a deputy sheriff, deputy coroner, and elected justice of the peace, and administering Austin’s unique version of justice; raising a family; finding ways to have fun; and exploring the austerely beautiful backcountry of central Nevada. He also introduces some of Austin’s residents and their stories, and describes the way the community comes together for entertainment or to respond to crises.Lost in Austin is fascinating reading for anyone who cherishes nostalgic memories of living in a small town, or who contemplates moving to one. It offers an engaging portrait of a Nevada that exists far from the glitz and glitter of Las Vegas and Reno, “a happy Bermuda Triangle” where rugged individualism and community spirit flourish amidst sagebrush and vast open spaces.
