DOWNLOAD EBOOKAt significant milestones, people of faith find it essential to recall our heritage before forging ahead. Sheboygan County Chronicle is a timely look back for those moving forward, a satisfying story with heart, soul, and homespun humor. It s set in Bierville, a German-immigrant village in Wisconsin, from 1899 to 1911. In a rural community at the fringe of the rapidly changing world a century ago, characters with character wrestle with some of the deep, ageless questions of human existence. The community learns through struggle and heartache, grows in spirit, and, with the passing of time, is shaped and transformed by grace. Through occasional week-long visits, you ll grow to care about the people of Bierville and find yourself living among them. "Sheboygan County Chronicle contains all these elements: purity and peace, gentleness and friendship, compassion and good deeds. It does not back away from the presence of prejudice and hypocrisy in our lives. This is why I have so enjoyed the book and commend it to you." --Frederick R. Trost, author, former Conference Minister, Wisconsin A wonderfully realistic portrayal of the tensions, pitfalls, and the graces too, of being in the church. As I read it, I thought of my seminarians and how much they would profit from the reading of the REALITY of the community of faith in all its particularity and peculiarity . The writing is beautiful and the story is engaging and worth telling." --William H. Willimon, Dean of the Chapel and Professor of Christian Ministry, Duke University. "So many of the situations in the book are great real life illustrations of Scriptural truths . I really think this kind of narrative/story helps the biblical Word come alive as few things do." --Bryan C.

I ve got a wonderful life, husband, and home now so what if some of my younger years were robbed from me? I look at it as something was wrong with me, and a higher power healed me. I m fortunate to be able to tell the story and maybe help someone else in the same predicament. To these people I say, Don t give up. Great job! Thank you for sharing it with me... I am a better person for having read it... I particularly like the ending. Full of hope, positive thoughts and inspiration. Talk about turning your scars into stars! - Joan Paddick About the Author: Bernice Colterman Clarke is 62 years old, and has been happily married to David (whom she writes of) for the past 24 years.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe untold stories of the tranquil town of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, that have been swept under the rug or lost over the years. Sheboygan deserves its reputation as a conservative city clean, quiet and law-abiding. But here are some stories that have been swept under the rug or lost overboard. Venture into the mists of the "Lake Michigan Triangle" that have swallowed boats, planes and entire tribes. Investigate speakeasy shootings, safes burgled by a fly swatter, poisoned Christmas candy, flaming shipwrecks and the hoax that had militiamen firing on their own cattle. Or just sit down with some bizarre anecdotes about a hometown you thought you knew, from the town's first baseball game to the man freed from jail by a jug of whiskey to the deputy sheriff who had to enforce Nicholas Hoffman's first bath in 50 years.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“Not Grant nor Sherman, nor any of our country’s heroes, were ever made the subject of more ardent curiosity on the part of our citizens than the hero of a thousand-mile walk. The excitement at times reached almost to the point of frenzy and in their eagerness to gain a standing point right in front of the window at which the beaming countenance of the great man was seen, the crowd came in sharp collision with the police.” — Chicago Tribune — November, 1867 “He moved through a greater mass of people than was on the streets when William H. Taft, as President of the United States was here, or when Theodore Roosevelt came the day after. Crowds that blocked all traffic in the neighborhood greeted the veteran pedestrian. The side streets were choked and every roof had a fringe of humanity.” — New York’s The Sun — August, 1913 In a professional career spanning just over 60 years, one man would capture the imagination and the hearts of the people of the sporting world. Born in 1839, the enigmatic and eccentric American from Providence, Rhode Island, would become the “walking sensation” of both Britain and the USA, where he would “wow” the enormous crowds that filled the arenas and lined the roadsides with his performances on the tracks and highways. Handsome, immaculately dressed, well-spoken and intelligent, the “Wily Wobbler” would be watched by hoards of adoring fans throughout his career, which would see him compete against “time” and other athletes in the most amazing competitions. Everyone wanted to see him in action. Whenever he was pacing around a sawdust track, or scurrying along a dirt road, they clapped him, they cheered him, they loved him – and he loved them! Without them, he was a nobody, but with their support and his gutsy determination to succeed against all the odds, he became the...

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOn a Wisconsin Family Farm flings the barn doors wide open to a cast of characters that built America's Dairyland. A maternal maverick, Anna Satorie, went against cultural-norms and became the sole owner of her family's homestead in 1905. The next year, Anna married John Burich, and the couple went about building a thrifty family farm. Pioneer life was fraught with trials and tribulations as polio and tuberculosis claimed loved ones and the fabricated death of a bootlegging brother turned gangsters away from the farm. Neighbors pitched in as members of the immigrant class aided one another to construct farmsteads and support one another through unsanctioned bank loans, daring dynamite work and barn raisings. Leasing work aside, this community also threw parties met by the rooster's early-dawn crow. Corey Geiger, international agricultural journalist, pairs his rural roots and lively storytelling talents to capture six generations of local tales. Book jacket.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHer paintings are tableaus, and her tableaus are stones, yet they are also baited traps, poised to spring. One moves around them with care as well as pleasure. -- Regina HackettThis delightful book, with insightful essays by Regina Hackett and Sondra Shulman, provides a fresh perspective and understanding of Fay Jones art. The paintings and mixed-media collages included here survey four main periods in the artist's career. From the early 1970s to 1977, Jones works were primarily diaristic. The artist created figural compositions in outdoor settings that explored her reflections on social conventions and interpersonal relationships. From 1977 to 1980, Jones became a socially conscious observer, moving beyond the personal views of a diarist. Her paintings grew in scale, while background landscapes and atmospheric perspective were eliminated and figures became more prominent.During the 1980s, Jones developed contrived fictions of painted stage sets in which all real space disappears and the artist incorporates theatrical devices. Diverse and conflicting figures lay one upon the other, overlapping like cutouts or paper dolls. Rendered in a geometric framework, they gain a sense of monumentality and take on the rhetoric of the stage. In the 1990s, Jones has incorporated a lighter, brighter palette and bolder shapes; she has found elegance in the simplification of forms and a directness that is poised and assured. In her paintings, Fay Jones has chronicled a lifetime of impressions, observations, and reflections, all peppered with brilliant imagination and wry humor.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Time travel, UFOs, mysterious planets, stigmata, rock-throwing poltergeists, huge footprints, bizarre rains of fish and frogs-nearly a century after Charles Fort's Book of the Damned was originally published, the strange phenomenon presented in this book remains largely unexplained by modern science. Through painstaking research and a witty, sarcastic style, Fort captures the imagination while exposing the flaws of popular scientific explanations. Virtually all of his material was compiled and documented from reports published in reputable journals, newspapers and periodicals because he was an avid collector. Charles Fort was somewhat of a recluse who spent most of his spare time researching these strange events and collected these reports from publications sent to him from around the globe. This was the first of a series of books he created on unusual and unexplained events and to this day it remains the most popular. If you agree that truth is often stranger than fiction, then this book is for you"--Taken from Good Reads website.
