Paperback. Zustand: Good. Visionary, Man of God, Cult Leader, Fugitive, Inmate, Patriot. John R. Harrell of Louisville, IL, far better known as Johnny Bob, was--rightfully or not--called all those things during his long, colorful life. A deeply religious, independently wealthy man, in the 1960s, Harrell was known throughout the Midwest for his eccentric estate (which included a full-size replica of Washington's Mt. Vernon) and the rogue Louisville-based religious colony he founded which many labeled a cult. In August of 1961, U.S. federal agents stormed his Louisville property to retrieve an AWOL Marine who had taken refuge on Harrell's sovereign grounds. This military action, involving over 100 armed officers, was national news and set off a chain of events in the U.S. courts, in military tribunals, and eventually across the United States as Harrell and his family became fugitives, running from the law. This book retraces Johnny Bob Harrell's nine decades from his claims of an early miracle healing to the founding of his religious community to the '61 siege, and Harrell's subsequent life as fugitive, federal inmate, and right-wing provocateur. …

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Authors Cary O'Dell and Richard L. Sprehe lead a literary investigation of a brutal cold-case murder. In May 1975, in the small Southern Illinois town of Centralia, the body of one of its best-known residents, John Shakespeare, was found nearly nude, bound, and shot, execution-style, in the basement of his home. Shakespeare, sixty-nine, was a wealthy bachelor, an eccentric, an heir to the Shakespeare fishing fortune, a world-renowned collector of vintage cars, and, maybe, a possessor of a few secrets. Despite the victim being well liked in the community, state and local police, and eventually even the FBI and Interpol, found a plethora of suspects while investigating the crime. Could it have been his longtime business associate? Or the mysterious hitchhiker seen in town just days before his body was found? Or a long-ago name from his past. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Revisit a critical and little-known piece of WWII history that had a profound impact on Illinois and the nation.During WWII, the United States was home to almost half a million POW's--German, Italian, and Japanese soldiers captured overseas and then brought to the United States. The POWs were housed in various large camps set up in forty-four of the nation's then forty-eight states. One of those states was Illinois. At its peak, Illinois housed three major base camps and twenty branch camps, stretching from the Rockford-Chicago area down to Camp Pomona, near Murphysboro. When not housed in these camps, POW's were put to work, on the state's farms and in its factories, to alleviate the country's serious wartime labor shortages. By the end of the war, there was no part of Illinois that was not touched by these prisoners of war.Author Cary O'Dell sheds light on a largely forgotten element of home front WWII history.…
