Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Texas Eccentrics, the debut book by Texas author John Kuhn, tells the stories of over one hundred unique Texans, both native and adopted, who have made names for themselves in fields as diverse as business, sports, art, and politics. These folks have done their part to create an 'aura around the world of unabashed quirkiness,' in the words of Adventure Guide to Texas author Kimberly Young. Because of them (and others like them from all corners of the Lone Star State), the fictional Texas eccentric has become a common sight in popular media, frequently appearing in American literature, television, and film. This book points out that those fictional characters are just plain boring compared to some of the real deal Texas eccentrics. Illustrated by Dennis Menese, Texas Eccentrics is a fun read, combining zany caricatures of the subjects with tales of their stranger-than-average exploits. Ross Perot, Howard Hughes, and Dennis Rodman are just some of the folks you'll read about here, along with lesser-known - but no less interesting - Texas eccentrics like Thomas Jefferson 'Stout' Jackson and Jim 'Silver Dollar' West.As you will learn in these pages, everything is weirder in Texas. In fact - as the author notes in his foreword - a Texan who can't name a crazy member of the family probably is the crazy member of the family. If that describes you or someone you know, then this is the book for you.Texas Eccentrics is the perfect read for a Texas history buff with a sense of humor. Or for a Texas humor buff with a sense of history. Either way. Dennis Menese (illustrator).…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book is the story of one man's life of service to his country in the Marine Corps. Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1900, the son of farmer, Vernon E. Megee grew up with an understanding of hard work and devotion to duty. His introduction into the military began in college as a cadet in the R.O.T.C. At the age of nineteen he joined the United States Marines. And thus began a life of adventure, challenges and experiences he could never have imagined. His career spanned forty years, from a lowly enlisted man to the rank of Four Star General. Megee's memoir is certainly not the usual dry 'date, time, place' report you might expect. Instead, in this book, (which he insisted was not to be released until after his death) he reveals the often-tumultuous behind-the-scenes, gutwrenching struggles and also the joy of a real man's life in the military, in his own memorable words. And while it is the personal story of General Vernon E. Megee, it's also the heroic story of the United States Marines during a long, difficult time of transition.…

Her war started the day Pearl Harbor was attacked and ended under tragic circumstances.
