In this latest installment of the Easy Rawlins series from beloved and bestselling author Walter Mosley, the L.A. private eye has his hands full with the investigation of a racially charged murder. Easy Rawlins has started a new detective agency with two trusted partners and has a diamond ring in his pocket for his longtime girlfriend Bonnie Shay. Finally, Easy's life seems to be heading towards something that looks like normalcy, but, inevitably, a case gets in the way. Easy's friend Mouse calls in a favor--he wants Easy to meet with Rufus Tyler, an aging convict whom everyone calls Charcoal Joe. Joe's friend's son, Seymour, has been charged with the murder of two white men. Joe is convinced the young man is innocent and wants Easy to prove it no matter what the cost. But seeing as how Seymour was found standing over the dead bodies, and considering the racially charged nature of the crime, that will surely prove to be a tall order.

Rowdy Joe Lowe

Rowdy Joe Lowe

University of Oklahoma Press

A view into the smoke-filled saloons, brothels, and gambling ""hells"" of the frontier WestJoseph Lowe attracted trouble the way a magnet draws iron. Eventually this strange talent cost him his life, but not before he had made his mark in a good many towns of the frontier West. ""Rowdy Joe,"" folks called him. He was every bit of that and more.The life that earned him his nickname began after the Civil War, when he mustered out of the Union Army and went West. He apparently worked as a mule skinner and at other jobs before getting into the entertainment business - saloons, dance halls, gambling parlors, brothels - at Ellsworth, Kansas.In this book the authors explain how taxation was used to control and manipulate what some called ""this evil in our midst."" In telling the story of Joe Lowe and his place in frontier history, they also focus on the measures taken by city councils to extract cash from the ""locusts of lechery"" in an effort to curtail their activities.Communities that employed police to enforce local ordinances and state laws found that enforced taxation was not only less deadly than the six-shooter, but more productive. Harsh fines could be imposed for ""soliciting"" or running a saloon or ""house"" without a license, and in this manner the city benefited from revenue paid for the privilege of remaining in business. Some like Lowe refused to pay, but invariably they met defeat.When things got hot in Kansas, Joe tried Texas, and then Colorado. It was in Denver that Joe got drunk once too often, repeatedly antagonized a former policeman, and was shot and killed.Rowdy Joe Lowe is a view into the smoke-filled saloons, brothels, and gambling ""hells"" of those who prospered or perished amongst the pasteboard pirates, pimps, or other characters of the frontier West.

Injun Joe's Ghost

Injun Joe's Ghost

Harry J. Brown

University of Missouri Press
2004
sidottu
What does it mean to be a ""mixed-blood,"" and how has our understanding of this term changed over the last two centuries? What processes have shaped American thinking on racial blending? Why has the figure of the mixed-blood, thought too offensive for polite conversation in the nineteenth century, become a major representative of twentieth-century native consciousness? In Injun Joe's Ghost, Harry J. Brown addresses these questions within the interrelated contexts of anthropology, U.S. Indian policy, and popular fiction by white and mixed-blood writers, mapping the evolution of ""hybridity"" from a biological to a cultural category. Brown traces the processes that once mandated the mixed-blood's exile as a grotesque or criminal outcast and that have recently brought about his ascendance as a cultural hero in contemporary Native American writing. Because the myth of the demise of the Indian and the ascendance of the Anglo-Saxon is traditionally tied to America's national idea, nationalist literature depicts Indian-white hybrids in images of degeneracy, atavism, madness, even criminality.

Gunpowder Joe

Gunpowder Joe

Anthony Clarvoe

Broadway Play Publishing Inc

"As Gunpowder Joe begins, Mary Priestley urges her world-famous husband to flee as a mob approaches their home in Birmingham, England. But the scientist, whose political writings have inflamed his foes previously, isn't perturbed. It will be fine', Joseph Priestley tells his worried wife. They have been content to hang me in effigy for years.' They may be done pretending', Mary retorts. Thus, the world premiere of Anthony Clarvoe's historical drama-- Gunpowder Joe: Joseph Priestley, Pennsylvania and the American Experiment' --gets off to a fast start... In the end, the Priestleys flee, and the rioters torch their residence, which contains the scientist's laboratory and library.... It quickly establishes how well connected Priestley became after settling in Pennsylvania. He soon had friends--and foes--in high places. In one scene, he and President John Adams are having tea when Priestley suggests that Adams appoint Thomas Cooper, another English expatriate who has settled in Northumberland, to a federal post. The president reacts sharply. I would never give such a position to a foreigner', Adams declares, adding that such appointments should be given only to loyal Americans'.... Animated, occasionally humorous and always enlightening, Clarvoe's drama shatters any notion that Priestley, internationally known for discovering oxygen in 1774, spent his last decade living quietly in Northumberland content to pursue new discoveries. It shows how he helped strengthen our First Amendment right to say things about our government that even the president may not like." John L Moore, The Daily Item

Entering the 2000 Football Season, Penn State football coach Joe Paterno was poised to pass Paul Bear Bryant as major college football's all-time winningest coach. With his 317 career victories, Paterno was six shy of tying Bryant's record of 323. But as successful as his Nittany Lions teams have been on the field, winning two national titles and posting seven undefeated regular seasons, Paterno has been most influential off the field as a mover, shaker, and outspoken advocate for what is right and ethical about collegiate sports.

Gemini Joe

Gemini Joe

pokkari
Joe spent most of his time at the bar, where they knew him as "Gemini Joe," a charismatic, funny man who was the life of any party, but his family didn't see this side of him at home. A bottle of scotch on the table was all it took to set him off, causing his children to hide at the top of the stairs, listening and waiting for the fighting to stop. At times, his creative side came out in the form of poetry, drawings, and inventions, including the first design for a toothpaste cap that stayed on the tube. Tragically, he was never to achieve success. The struggle with alcohol caused Joe to walk away from his wife and children. Estranged from his oldest daughter, years passed until he wrote her a letter. It included a poem that he had written which triggered her curiosity. She didn't know much about his childhood and asked him to tell her his story.My earliest memory of my father was at a family wedding when I was four years old. I could still see my mother smiling and dancing, happy to be with her family. My father sat at a table, glaring as she glided across the dance floor. He drank one scotch on the rocks after another until jealousy took hold of him, and his rage cut the evening short. I wanted to love him but found it difficult to please him. I wanted to please him but knew it was impossible. When he divorced my mother, I felt obligated to cut him out of my life out of loyalty to her. Until one day, I received a letter along with a poem. I didn't know this side of my father. Impressed by his words, I asked him to tell me about his childhood. As I collected the missing pieces of his life, I had an opportunity to understand the true nature of the man buried deep beneath the alcoholic.

She looks good in flannel, she's 26, and she's into crushes. Romantic crushes where she can dream about holding hands or talking for hours on a hill, in the quiet and stillness of the starlight. Anything more than hand-holding seems weird to her. Other kids in College made her feel like a freak, and she began to worry that there was something wrong with her. In a society of pouty lips, big breasts, and stiletto heels, she was becoming invisible, until her best friend started dating Mathilda.
