I was living in a small town, in the southern tip of Texas, called Mercedes. My father and I were walking on the west side of the town. I still remember that day. My father pointed to a huge Mesquite tree, about a block from the house, where I grew up. As we were walking towards town, he stopped and told me, that when he was about twelve years old (1925), he found a man hanging from that particular tree. He told me he ran home and brought his dad and a neighbor. I asked him who had done it. He told me that the Texas Rangers had hung him. I was about eight years old when he told me the story. He told me that I was too young to understand those things but that I would when I got older.As I got older, I continued to hear stories that were similar. It was then that I understood the horror and injustice. Before I die, I feel obligated to share the truth hidden from our history books. I dedicate this short novel in memory of the victims of greedy land grabbers and evil Texas Rangers who committed these atrocities.

Alaska's fermented legacy retains the fiercely independent spirit that propelled the state's beer drinkers through the gold rush and sustained them through Prohibition. Today, craft brewers produce outstanding suds in some of the harshest and most remote locations on the planet. And while the beer scene in Alaska has roots that trace back to days when spirits had to have "medicinal, mechanical, and scientific purposes," the contemporary crop of breweries can thank industry pioneers like the Alaskan Brewing Company for staying on the cutting edge of beer-making technology. Join beer columnist and historian Bill Howell on an exploration through this hop-filled history of the Last Frontier.

This book started with a request from Physiotherapist Lisa Howell to her Dad, Mike, for some cartoons. She wanted them to act as conversation starters, concerning the risk of injury due to over stretching, to be used in some of her Dance Physio seminars. Mike, armed with some disturbing photos of training practices complied, but then began reflecting on the possible reasons behind such teaching. As a retired teacher he has had many colleagues over 45 years, and has worked with and met many really good people, who from time to time taught badly. Why? What caused them to act that way? How do you break that cycle? He had drawn hundreds of cartoons of various staff members when they had made "bloopers" and he knew that laughter is a good way of diffusing a situation, so using all of the visual clues in the original cartoons, Madame La Jaune was born
