We knew we were in trouble when we started getting calls from the neighbors saying Carson was at the top of the tallest tree on the street. He was 7 or 8 years old. At 10 he made a zipline out of the dog's tie out and leash then attempted to zip from the tree to the top of the playhouse, nearly hanging himself. He came out of the womb a natural athlete and risk taker. We were amazed by his ingenuity.Freshman year of high school he started experimenting with drugs like most teens do, however our boy had unlocked the door to addiction. As his drugs became harder he spiraled out of control with periods of abstinence followed by a few weeks of being on a "bender" until a crisis would end that cycle. Each time, we would think this is his "rock bottom", then it wasn't. We struggled with "Is this just the throws of adolescence or does he have a problem." By his Senior year he overdosed.Then starts the scramble to find some sort of rehabilitation that is longer, different and out of our area. How can we afford it? Insurance? Savings? Mortgage the house? What does recovery look like for a now 18 year old that can just walk away from wherever we send him?......Always Chasing Carson......

If Carson Parker Had a Marker is a very uplifting book. Carson Parker uses his marker in a powerful way to write notes and letters to encourage kindness. He even uses it to write a message on the tail of a kite telling his readers to BE THE CHANGE needed to make our world a better place. He also quotes Jennifer Dukes Lee in saying, "In a world where you can be anything, BE KIND " His hope is that "others would follow in his lead spreading words of kindness like a farmer scatters seed."

"John Lester's Pied Piper Principles are good. I have known John since the early days of Internet Marketing. In fact, he helped me fight off MLM scam artists on the old AOL MLM Forums. I've subscribed to his newsgroup for years and respect John's marketing wisdom highly. In fact, I have beat him about the head and shoulders to print it in Book format. In fact, I took his CDs and sent the MP3 files to my transcriptionist and am pushing him to get it edited now. WHY? Because it needs to be kept on hand every day as a quick reference on "How To Do Internet Marketing" or any Marketing for that matter. When he gets the book done it will be one of the few books that I sell on my MLM Consumer Protection website." -Rod Cook aka The MLM WatchDogHere's what John Vasey, a past student of John Carson Lester Jr, who has gone on to earn literally hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars with a well known financial services multi-affiliate marketing company, had to say about "The Best of the Best" in a testimonial he wrote over one of our gemSTARS-R-NICErs global email discussion lists in September of 1999: "I've spent 3 years studying Nicers and in the next rolling year I'm on track to earn a million dollars, crazy but true. Study, internalize the emails John Lester sent the other day The best I have ever written on sales and Marketing-They are absolutely priceless. Nicers has taught me more about sales and marketing than *any* course that I paid hundreds sometime thousands. John Lester is one of my all time heroes in life not just in sales and marketing but the values he teaches we will keep forever and you will hear the same testimony from the other *old timers* such as Tim, Peggy Hendricks etc Participating in the Nicers community is the greatest single thing I have ever done professionally. I say when you mention Nicers we literally should all bow our virtual heads." -John VaseyTo see a synopsis of John Carson Lester Jr's 947+ pages of testimonials click: https: //cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2655/4462/files/testimonials-all.pdf?4907960353687664496

A hair-raising biography of the hunter, scout, and adventurer, Kit Carson. Perfect for readers of Hampton Sides, Stephen Brennan and H. W. Brands. At seventeen Christopher "Kit" Carson left Kentucky and headed west. By the end of his life he had become a living legend, with dime novels exclaiming his accomplishments across the breadth of the country. But what was the truth behind these renowned stories and who was the real Kit Carson? Noel Gerson's fascinating biography uncovers the reality this extraordinary man, often proving more astounding than any of the novels. Kit Carson: Folk Hero and Man explores the tumultuous life of this man who was the archetypal frontiersman; travelling and trapping with famous mountain men like Jim Bridger, guiding John C. Fremont through the vast wilderness, and fighting against Confederate troops during the Civil War. Gerson also examines Carson's complex relations with the Native Americans tribes; acting honestly as a trader and agent and marrying a native woman, but also leading campaigns against them at various points in his life. "Quite a man, as this fast moving biography shows." Kirkus Reviews
An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library. Ciaran Carson is one of the most challenging and inventive of contemporary Irish writers, exhibiting verbal brilliance, formal complexity, and intellectual daring across a remarkably varied body of work. This study considers the full range of his oeuvre, in poetry, prose, and translations, and discusses the major themes to which he returns, including: memory and history, narrative, language and translation, mapping, violence, and power. It argues that the singularity of Carson’s writing is to be found in his radical imaginative engagements with ideas of space and place. The city of Belfast, in particular, occupies a crucially important place in his texts, serving as an imaginative focal point around which his many other concerns are constellated. The city, in all its volatile mutability, is an abiding frame of reference and a reservoir of creative impetus for Carson’s imagination. Accordingly, the book adopts an interdisciplinary approach that draws upon geography, urbanism, and cultural theory as well as literary criticism. It provides both a stimulating and thorough introduction to Carson’s work, and a flexible critical framework for exploring literary representations of space.
(Book). This compelling autobiography of guitar icon Bill Carson is a fascinating first-person chronicle by a man deeply involved in all facets of the Fender story. Carson recounts everything from his early years as an impoverished guitarist to his days serving as "test pilot" of solidbody instruments, including the legendary Stratocaster. He shares his experiences of working closely with Leo Fender, George Fullerton, and the factory workers who produced some of guitardom's truly classic instruments. Carson's conversational tone takes the reader through the good times and bad at Fender, including the decline of the company and its products during the infamous CBS years, on through its remarkable resurgence and return to dominance. 112 pages, 3" x 91"

Ciaran Carson's Collected Poems gathers work from eight collections. From the formal and thematic traditions of his earlierst work, The New Estate (1976), the energetic long lines of The Irish for No (1987) and Belfast Confetti (1989), to the formal adroitness of Opera Et Cetera (1996), The Alexandrine Plan (1998) and The Twelfth of Never (1998), Carson has shown himself to be an extraordinarily adaptable poet. In Breaking News (2003), this master of the long line employs two- and three-syllable lines to alter the tempo, the time of his narrative, and the distinction between separate wars and eras. Carson's 2008 volume For All We Know is a pas de deux of personal attraction and betrayal set against the memories of the Troubles as well as against other previous historical events (the 60s in Paris, the Second World War). It seems that with each volume Carson invents anew the very ground from which his poetry springs. Collected Poems ensures the poet's place at the cutting edge of contemporary art.

Christopher Houston Carson (December 24, 1809 - May 23, 1868), better known as Kit Carson, was an American frontiersman. He was a mountain man (fur trapper), wilderness guide, Indian agent, and U.S. Army officer. Carson became a frontier legend in his own lifetime via biographies and news articles. Exaggerated versions of his exploits were the subject of dime novels. Carson left home in rural present-day Missouri at age 16 to become a mountain man and trapper in the West. In the 1830s, he accompanied Ewing Young on an expedition to Mexican California and joined fur trapping expeditions into the Rocky Mountains. He lived among and married into the Arapaho and Cheyenne tribes. In the 1840s, he was hired as a guide by John C. Fremont. Fremont's expedition covered much of California, Oregon, and the Great Basin area. Fremont mapped and wrote reports and commentaries on the Oregon Trail to assist and encourage westward-bound American pioneers. Carson achieved national fame through Fremont's accounts of his expeditions. Under Fremont's command, Carson participated in the uprising against Mexican rule in California at the beginning of the Mexican-American War. Later in the war, Carson was a scout and courier, celebrated for his rescue mission after the Battle of San Pasqual and for his coast-to-coast journey from California to Washington, DC to deliver news of the conflict in California to the U.S. government. In the 1850s, he was appointed as the Indian agent to the Ute Indians and the Jicarilla Apaches. During the American Civil War, Carson led a regiment of mostly Hispanic volunteers from New Mexico on the side of the Union at the Battle of Valverde in 1862. When the Confederate threat to New Mexico was eliminated, Carson led forces to suppress the Navajo, Mescalero Apache, and the Kiowa and Comanche Indians. Carson was breveted a Brigadier General and took command of Fort Garland, Colorado. He was there only briefly: poor health forced him to retire from military life. Carson was married three times and had ten children. The Carson home was in Taos, New Mexico. Carson died at Fort Lyon, Colorado, of an aortic aneurysm on May 23, 1868. He is buried in Taos, New Mexico, next to his third wife Josefa Jaramillo.............. Elizabeth Eleanor Greatorex (1854-1917) was an American painter and illustrator.... John Stevens Cabot Abbott (September 19, 1805 - June 17, 1877), an American historian, pastor, and pedagogical writer, was born in Brunswick, Maine to Jacob and Betsey Abbott. Early life: He was a brother of Jacob Abbott, and was associated with him in the management of Abbott's Institute, New York City, and in the preparation of his series of brief historical biographies. Dr. Abbott graduated at Bowdoin College in 1825, prepared for the ministry at Andover Theological Seminary, and between 1830 and 1844, when he retired from the ministry in the Congregational Church, preached successively at Worcester, Roxbury and Nantucket, all in Massachusetts. Literary career: Owing to the success of a little work, The Mother at Home, he devoted himself, from 1844 onwards, to literature. He was a voluminous writer of books on Christian ethics, and of popular histories, which were credited with cultivating a popular interest in history. He is best known as the author of the widely popular History of Napoleon Bonaparte (1855), in which the various elements and episodes in Napoleon's career are described. Abbott takes a very favourable view towards his subject throughout. Also among his principal works are: History of the Civil War in America (1863-1866), and The History of Frederick II, Called Frederick the Great (New York, 1871). He also did a forward to a book called Life of Boone by W.M. Bogart, about Daniel Boone in 1876. In general, except that he did not write juvenile fiction, his work in subject and style closely resembles that of his brother, Jacob Abbott....
