DOWNLOAD EBOOKAfter the end of Civil War in 1865, more than four million slaves were set free. There were several efforts to record the remembrances of the living former slaves. The Federal Writers' Project was one such project by the United States federal government to support writers during the Great Depression by asking them to interview and record the myriad stories and experiences of slavery of former slaves. The resulting collection preserved hundreds of life stories from 17 US states that would otherwise have been lost in din of modernity and America's eagerness to deliberately forget the blot on its recent past. This edition brings to you the complete collection of first hand experiences and voices from the past that makes one question whether is it safe to forget or keep the memories alive for bigger battles ahead. A must read for everyone who is interested in US History, race relations and authentic historical research.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA novel about a high school band by Lowell Tarling with artwork by Martin Sharp. You may finish school with no plans, no money, and no direction. But if all you want is to play guitar with your teeth, smash a Rickenbacker or grow your hair long - then being in a high school band could be the last thing you need… It is 1967. Tom is 18, and ready… This novel combines the cunning wit of Lowell Tarling with the atmospheric pop art of the iconic Martin Sharp.It is the best of times. It is the worst of times. It is the age of wisdom. It is the age of foolishness. It is the age of The Who and the Beatles. It is the time of Dylan. It is the season of Light. It is the season of Darkness. Nobody is who they think they are. Everyone is whoever they want to be. It is the autumn of despair, the winter of discontent, the spring of hope. And the Summer of Love. We have everything before us. Everything is original. Everything borrowed. People come only in two types: those who ARE Rock and Roll and those who aint. 1967 - THIS IS IT! embraces the journey of Thomas Truscott - wannabee rock god and all round misfit as he careens from disaster to discovery in his last year of school, battling the establishment, prefects, the Vietnam war and most of all, himself.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBLUES CHASED A RABBIT is the gripping story of Jason Defoy, a black musician whose cool life in New York seems light years away from the miserable Mississippi origins he recalls with frustrated anger and scorn. The accidental death of his pregnant wife suddenly disrupts his life and forces a confrontation. Unable to face the torment in his mind, unable to find solace in drugs, simulated sex, or old friendships, he finds himself driven like a hunted animal to his roots in the South. Nameless and penniless, alone on the Mississippi Road, he falls victim to the medieval vagrancy laws which, to this day, permit southern farmers to exploit free labour. He becomes a virtual slave, chattelled to Harlan Smith, a southern white farmer struggling to hold on to a way of life he knows is fast disappearing. The relationships between Jason, his fellow captive Robart, and their sadistic yet poignantly wretched white master, form the background of a story which is unique in its perceptive treatment of the violence underlying the black-white confrontation in America today. BLUES CHASED A RABBIT is a brutally human novel which tells the truth as it has rarely been told before.
