DOWNLOAD EBOOKLance Herndon was at the top of his game in 1996. At age forty-one he was a self-made millionaire, the owner of Access, Inc., a successful information-systems consulting company. As a prominent member of Atlanta's young, wealthy, and powerful set, he was surrounded by black Atlanta's "beautiful people." But when he failed to show up for work one day, friends and family started to worry. Their worry soon turned to horror when he was found murdered in his own home, his head smashed in—in what appeared to be either an act of jealousy-fueled rage or a seedier sex crime. With a laundry list of ex-wives and lovers, competitors, critics, and admirers in hand, detectives had to break through the city's upper crust to discover his killer. Journalist Ron Stodghill tells the riveting, true story of this investigation. Part investigative thriller, part sociological commentary, Redbone offers a truly intriguing story that channels insight into one of America's great metropolises.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRedbone – The True Story of a Native American Rock Band (2020) : Experience the riveting, powerful story of the Native American civil rights movement and the resulting struggle for identity told through the high-flying career of west coast rock n’ roll pioneers, Redbone. You’ve heard the hit song “Come and Get Your Love” in the movie Guardians of the Galaxy, but the story of the band behind it is one of cultural, political, and social importance. Brothers Pat and Lolly Vegas were talented Native American rock musicians that took the 1960s Sunset Strip by storm. They influenced The Doors and jammed with Jimmy Hendrix before he was “Jimi,” and the idea of a band made up of completely Native Americans soon followed. Determined to control their creative vision and maintain their cultural identity, they eventually signed a deal with Epic Records in 1969. But as the American Indian Movement gained momentum the band took a stand, choosing pride in their ancestry over continued commercial reward. Created with the cooperation of the Vegas family, painstaking steps were taken to ensure the historical accuracy of this important and often overlooked story of America’s past. Part biography and part research journalism, Redbone provides a voice to a people long neglected in American history.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"What started out as a quest to find the mother of her beloved grandfather, became for Patricia Waak a revelation about the diversity of her family. It became, in fact, a spiritual journey as she visited cemeteries, courthouses, and archives from Accomack County, Virginia, to Goliad, Texas. Filled with transcriptions of old court cases, accounts from oral history, and the results of countless hours of research, she also invites us to participate in her own discovery through original poetry which introduces each chapter. Included are photographs, genealogical charts, maps, and copies of old documents."--Jacket.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKREDBONE A literary love story of kindness, betrayal, violence and dark choices. Redmond Bone struggles with abandonment, rejection, cuckoldry, love in many forms, and with a twisted sense of justice, he confronts the stuff of life and death. The saga of Redbone, set in the latter half of the 19th century, finds Bone raised in an orphanage, spending his adolescence with nuns and prostitutes, and experiencing horrors and unexpected love as a kid soldier in the Civil War. Bone finds friendship with the queer and strange Baxter Baxter, bonds uncommonly with a common roan horse, and finds a father figure in the Commodore, who he reluctantly betrays. Bone is forced to make brutal decisions about right and wrong. Is Bone a good man or a bad man? Is he kind or vicious? Is his sense of justice a reflection of his own psychological frailties or the situations he encounters? Bone encounters salt of the earth folk and the worst outcasts and underbellies of humanity. Shanghaied by a ship's Captain, dogged by a blood thirsty bounty hunter, imprisoned for defending himself and his dearest friend, and pestered by the uncultivated wife of his boss, Bone also finds love and passion with a good woman, yet seems unable to commit to anything but the easy way out. Redbone is comical, violent, erotic, honest, brutal and romantic.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"That is what most people don't understand. They think success happens overnight - well I am here to say it doesn't. It truly takes dedication, perseverance, and a love for what you do to make your dreams come true. There were moments of blood, sweat, tears, and feelings of defeat that made these moments all worth it. The struggle led them to find their voice, a league of their own and make history...When you think about lives lived to their fullest, for the Vegas Brothers and Redbone, that would be an understatement. From performing on the #1 rated music show in the 60's titled "Shindig," sold out shows, #1 Singles/Albums, getting their song "We Were All Wounded At Wounded Knee" banned from airplay in the US due to its brutal truth about the 7th Cavalry, to traveling all across the world, and performing at Royal Albert Hall for the Queen herself (and my dad accidentally calling her "Babe"). It wouldn't even begin to describe the untold memories and laughter shared through the years. It is only but a mere taste of what was on their plates from the second they decided their destiny."
