Published in 1995 this book provides an account of a detailed research project focusing on a rural school in West Virginia. Researched from several social science perspectives the book strives to capture intersections between biography and history in a particular public school – Burnsville High and Middle school in Braxton County - that has been influenced by social, political, and economic forces, eventually leading to its closure. The author also discusses how the example of this school can be applied within the framework of American public education and Western culture itself. Based on research from unstructured interviews, oral histories, historical records, and intermittent fieldwork that took place between 1989 and 1992, the book provides an in-depth look at a specific school, offering a basis for discussing rural schools in general. It challenges the idea that bigger schools are better and more efficient schools in terms of the individual, the social life of the school, and the surrounding community, and considers the lack of scholarly accounts available on the issues, controversies, and social dynamics that surround these vital community matters.

Chosen for 2015 One Book One Nebraska In 1961, equipped with a master's degree from famed Columbia Journalism School and letters of introduction to Associated Press bureau chiefs in Asia, twenty-six-year-old Beverly Deepe set off on a trip around the world. Allotting just two weeks to South Vietnam, she was still there seven years later, having then earned the distinction of being the longest-serving American correspondent covering the Vietnam War and garnering a Pulitzer Prize nomination. In Death Zones and Darling Spies, Beverly Deepe Keever describes what it was like for a farm girl from Nebraska to find herself halfway around the world, trying to make sense of one of the nation's bloodiest and bitterest wars. She arrived in Saigon as Vietnam's war entered a new phase and American helicopter units and provincial advisers were unpacking. She tells of traveling from her Saigon apartment to jungles where Wild West-styled forts first dotted Vietnam's borders and where, seven years later, they fell like dominoes from communist-led attacks. In 1965 she braved elephant grass with American combat units armed with unparalleled technology to observe their valor--and their inability to distinguish friendly farmers from hide-and-seek guerrillas. Keever's trove of tissue-thin memos to editors, along with published and unpublished dispatches for New York and London media, provide the reader with you-are-there descriptions of Buddhist demonstrations and turning-point coups as well as phony ones. Two Vietnamese interpreters, self-described as "darling spies," helped her decode Vietnam's shadow world and subterranean war. These memoirs, at once personal and panoramic, chronicle the horrors of war and a rise and decline of American power and prestige.

Doyle Williams has written a family history focusing on his mother, Carrie Viola Reeves, her siblings, Emma, Annie, and Charlie, and her parents, James Morgan Reeves and Sarah Frances Spencer.

He follows James Morgan as he moves to Texas with his mother, leaving home at age ten to find his own way, and returning to Arkansas to grow up and marry. When his wife, Elizabeth Wolf, dies leaving him with a large family to rear, he returns to Texas, where he finds a new wife in Sarah Frances Spencer. James Morgan and Sarah move to Oklahoma Territory in the early 1890s, make their lives there and rear their own family. The author follows the children of James Morgan and Sarah as they grow up, marry, and eventually care for their aging parents. This is the story of an American pioneering family.

You might be forgiven for thinking that this book is exclusively for sports fans. It is not. James Thomas Farrell’s Studs Lonigan books are considered among the best of the 20th century. Like ESPN’s 30 for 30 documentary series, Farrell’s essays on baseball make great reading for anyone who loves great writing. Farrell steps away from fiction in this out-of-print gem. Ruth, Gehrig, Cobb and other baseball greats are here. Farrell saw them all and met many of them as a writer . Baseball is a game of statistics and poetry. Farrell purely and eloquently wrote about his love of the game. This book is an important piece of baseball history and an American sports writing classic. It's available for the first time as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smart phones. Be sure to LOOK INSIDE or download a sample.

People talk about pivotal moments--points in time in their lives about which their memories seem to revolve. There is life before the event and life after it. And the two sides of life are never the same. Pivotal moments become like dividers in a folder. The date of the point is usually not so important; the event or the person is what makes the difference. Life is forever altered. And if we are very lucky, after a pivotal moment, we understand life in general a little better and ourselves even more. The stories you will read here are about a boy who became a man. Stories of life--the good and not so good, but all of them were awesome. As we go, it becomes clear that the search for truth never ends, and freedom comes a little at a time, sometimes with great difficulty. Always remember, though, that it is the journey in search of truth that sets you free; a journey filled with pivotal points, moments, and people. If these stories cause you to remember--even travel back in time--to a happy or sad time where you again see a special person or place, just remember that smiles and laughs and tears are free. They are all actually good for you. So come and read. Take this pivotal journey with me, and remember that you are on a journey too. Enjoy all of it because life is awesome.

This true life narrative begins during the early years of World War One (1914aEUR"1918). In 1915, the Ottoman Government of Turkey brazenly embarks on a program of exterminating its Christian Armenian citizens. The first recorded genocide of the twentieth century continues unabated until the death toll reaches over the one and a half million mark. In April 1915, the Turkish government "dealers in death" attack the Armenian community in the village of Khunoos. Two American missionaries, Dr. Bob Thompson and his wife, Joan, become witness to the unimaginable horrors taking place before their eyes. Fearlessly, they rush to the Armenian neighborhoods, frantically searching for those still clinging to life. Several children and a young boy, my father, Kegham, are saved. For over a year, in the safety of the mission, he learns to read and write English. The mission's small library and especially the National Geographic magazines become a rich source of information. Its pages of photographs bring to life the endless wonders of AmericaaEUR"truly, a "Paradise on Earth." In time, an overwhelming and irresistible desire to go to America gathers momentum. The Thompsons, filled with foreboding, listened to their young charge as he confidently outlines his plans. The distraught missionaries ply every tact and arguments to dissuade him, but to no avail. It is a heartaEUR"rending and painful parting as a tragically orphaned teenager clutching a bag filled with apples, cheese, and bread confidently begins the most fateful journey of his life. The panorama of unfolding events that follow run the full gamut of life's "syllabus of survival" aEUR" hope and despair, success and failure, happiness and sorrow, health and sickness, life and death. Regardless of one's age or circumstances, this true life story will energize you to never lose sight of your hopes and ambitionsaEUR"and just maybe you too will adopt Kegham's lifelong mantra, "God bless Amerika," with or without an accent.

This book explores the professional, civic, and personal roles of women teachers throughout American history. Its themes and findings build from the mostly unpublished writings of many women. Clifford studied personal history manuscripts in archives and consulted printed autobiographies, diaries, correspondence, oral histories, interviews to probe the multifaceted imagery that has surrounded teaching. This work surveys a long past where schoolteaching was essentially men's work, with women relegated to restricted niches such as teaching rudiments of the vernacular language to young children and socializing girls for traditional gender roles.
