DOWNLOAD EBOOKGreenwood District, Oklahoma, 1921: Twelve-year-old Henry Simmons has lived his entire life in Greenwood, Oklahoma, a district north of Tulsa. He's loved by his parents and neighbors, annoyed by his little sister and protected by his community, full of hard-working, successful colored people like his mother and daddy. People call Greenwood "Black Wall Street," and Henry plans to grow up there until he becomes a famous writer or baseball player-or both. Sure, he's seen racism firsthand when he goes with his daddy to the white side of Tulsa. But for most of his life, as long as his friends and neighbors stay in Greenwood, the white residents of Tulsa don't cause too much trouble.Until May 31, 1921. That's the night Henry's life changed forever. His family's life changed forever. The entire town of Greenwood changed forever-all because 19-year-old Dick Rowland, a black shoeshiner working in Tulsa, is accused of assaulting a white, female elevator operator. That accusation and Dick's arrest turn into twelve hours of terror for Greenwood residents. And Henry and his family are right in the middle of the chaos.For these twelve hours, Henry, his mother, and his younger sister Livvie watch white men and women destroy their neighborhood while they miss Daddy, who went to help Dick. Sometimes, Henry, Mama, and Livvie hide; sometimes, they flee; and always, they are shocked by the terrifying behavior of their fellow human beings. Read Greenwood Gone: Henry's Story for Henry's account of one of the most horrible massacres in U.S. history-all because of hatred.Can love win even a small victory in the face of hate? Henry will find out. Please note: All of the author's proceeds from Greenwood Gone: Henry's Story will be donated to the city of Greenwood to be used in a way the residents feel is currently helpful. The publisher will also be making regular donations from the proceeds of the book.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"A rich source of secondary and primary materials, this contains accounts by local reporters and correspondents, and some exchanges from other papers. There are interviews, with MT's mother Jane Clemens (1885) and his pilot mentor Horace Bixby (1882, 1887), and one with MT in May 1889 which may differ slightly from the one in Budd's 1977 listing. A pleasure to read, this will be a valuable addition to MT collections in all libraries."MARK TWAIN JOURNAL

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs we all know, St. Louis is the best baseball town in America, but the city's major league history is not confined to the Cardinals. For several decades, until the middle of the twentieth century, St. Louis fielded a second professional team. True, it was mostly a losing team, but it once featured a first baseman who hit .400, a legendary Negro League star, and a pitcher who would go on to throw a perfect game in the World Series. They were the St. Louis Browns--the forerunners of the current Baltimore Orioles and a part of St. Louis's rich baseball history.
