Free Download Randi Samuelson-Brown, "The Bad Old Days of Colorado: Untold Stories of the Wild West"
English | 2020 | ISBN: 1493046527 | EPUB | pages: 216 | 3.7 mb
The Bad Old Days of Colorado celebrates the state’s glorious and rowdy past. Many people born and bred here relish just how "bad" things used to be: the terrain, the inhabitants and especially the quality of whiskey. It almost goes without saying that Colorado had all the characteristic Wild West elements-and in abundance! The chapters focus on the infamous and notorious rather than the law-abiding and civic-minded settlers. These pages, like the state, recount the tales of people who came West seeking, if not their fortune, at least opportunity. It is no secret that Colorado was settled by the adventurous willing to brave the harsh conditions and to prevail. Whether on the right or the wrong side of the law, all settlers and pioneers made unique contributions to the state’s complex culture. Certainly, in the nineteenth century, Colorado was not for the faint of heart.

The #1 New York Times bestselling author presents an inspirational guide for encouraging positive changes in your life-one day and one challenge at a time. I did a new thing today! Years ago, Tabitha Brown started a 30-day personal challenge that she called "I Did a New Thing!" The challenge was simple. Every day she would do something she’d never done before. Sometimes it was something small like trying a new food. Other times, she’d step it up a bit and speak to someone she’d never spoken to before. Still other times, she’d do the hard thing-facing a fear that she had, like having that tough conversation with a friend. One of the "new things" she tried was a vegan challenge. She’d been struggling with illness for nearly a year and was desperately searching for healing.

Free Download Peter Cochran, "Byron, Napoleon, J.C. Hobhouse, and the Hundred Days"
English | ISBN: 1443877425 | 2015 | 330 pages | PDF | 1437 KB
Napoleon was, after his defeat at Leipzig, granted the island of Elba to rule. He soon found this unsatisfactory, and, early in 1815, left for the south of France, and marched on Paris to some acclamation. He was, all too quickly, defeated at Waterloo. Observing all this was Byrons friend J.C. Hobhouse, an ardent Bonapartist. Byron, who posed as one, never answered his letters from the thick of things in Paris. This book is structured in four layers, and begins with an essay about Byron and Napoleon, which is then followed by Byrons poems about Napoleon and Hobhouses diary. Hobhouses letters conclude the volume. Most of Hobhouses diary has never been published. The book is published, aptly, on the bicentenary of The Hundred Days.
