DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn spite of losing his right leg to cannon fire in an early battle of the Mexican/Texan War of 1835-36, Thomas "Pegleg" Ward remained in the Texian military until he lost his right arm to cannon fire as well. He established himself as a remarkable political figure as he made significant contributions to the Texian cause through his administration of the General Land Office. "Pegleg" was able to persevere and amass large holdings of land and distinguish himself in service to his country and his state. Politically some despised him for his integrity, and his loyalty to Sam Houston. Others despised him because of his obstinence in doing things the way he thought best and having little flexibility to accommodate other's point of view. He was proud and he was stubborn, both good qualities for a Texan of that era.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe early United Automobile Workers union comes vividly to life in this "participant's account" of the development of an organization that once embodied the promise of the American labor movement. Henry Kraus, a UAW founder and the foremost labor journalist of that time, combines interviews conducted more than fifty years ago with a decade of more recent archival research to present a richly detailed account of the union's beginnings. Kraus introduces scores of rank-and-file union members and leaders. Veteran organizer Wyndham Mortimer and labor pioneers Walter, Roy, and Victor Reuther, George Addes, Robert Travis, Ed Hall, and Richard Frankensteen - all are brought to life and depicted complete with personal virtues and individual foibles. The chronicle ends in 1939 as the author plans to start work on what would become his first hook, The Many and the Few.
