Beyond the Killing Tree, A Journey of Discovery Revisited by Stephen Santiago Reynolds (9 Reviews)    Price verified 12 hours ago

In this digital edition, Beyond the Killing Tree has been revisited from the original hard cover publication. There are some new chapters and fine tuning of other chapters, though the context has not changed in spirit since it was first identified by the Anchorage Daily News as the best Alaska non-fiction book published in 1995. This is a memoir of adventure, personal change, and transformation -- a journey of discovery by Reynolds, who spent almost 30 years as a game warden in New Mexico and Alaska. There are elements of both humor and tragedy within, but does not dwell on either, as the author takes you by horseback, boat, and airplane into wilderness areas of both states. A "captivating tale of the past," says the Albuquerque Journal; "Gracefully written," says the Alaska Magazine; "When you read a page of Reynolds' prose, you'll swear that you were there," says the Tacoma News Tribune.

Spartacus: The Myth and the Man by M. J. Trow (19 Reviews)    Price verified 39 minutes ago

This is a revised version of M. J. Trow's classic biography of an ancient and unforgettable hero. 'I am Spartacus' ranks among the most famous lines in Hollywood, with its image of the man's comrades prepared to die in his place in the Kirk Douglas film. And die they did; not the actors but the real army of Spartacus, crucified in their thousands along the Appian Way that leads to Rome. Spartacus: The Myth and the Man is a revised version of M. J. Trow's original biography, the first to be written in English, of a legend who has become all things to all men. He has been the focus of a ballet and an opera. Karl Marx called him 'the finest fellow in ancient history' and a communist group in 1920s Germany tried to topple the Weimar government in his name.

It was over 60 years ago that we played in the mud. Seems like yesterday. We had no fear of being out after dark. We had no fear of marauding gangs, dope was used to paint balsa wood airplanes. Most fights ended in "Yah, if I'm one what are you." Fighting was not very common. We played baseball with a T-Shirt wrapped around out hand for a glove. The old ball bat had tape and nails. We played in dust, mud and on asphalt.The teachers taught, as best they could. We learned a sense of values from them. The churches were all the same, ours was good the others were bad. But we didn't believe that either.To have a fifty cent piece was to be a tycoon. Money meant nothing much to us. We got paddled, had our mouths washed out with Ivory soap, oh how I remember that. A great summer trip was out to the farm, or ...
