The definitive account of one of American history’s most repellent and most fascinating moments, combining investigative journalism and sweeping social history "Years later, the tale of murder and revenge in Georgia still has the power to fascinate...Intense, suspenseful.” —The Washington Post Book World In 1913, 13-year-old Mary Phagan was found brutally murdered in the basement of the Atlanta pencil factory where she worked. The factory manager, a college-educated Jew named Leo Frank, was arrested, tried, and convicted in a trial that seized national headlines. When the governor commuted his death sentence, Frank was kidnapped and lynched by a group of prominent local citizens. Steve Oney’s acclaimed account re-creates the entire story for the first time, from the police investigations to the gripping trial to the brutal lynching and its aftermath. Oney vividly renders Atlanta, a city enjoying newfound prosperity a half-century after the Civil War, but still rife with barely hidden prejudices and resentments. He introduces a Dickensian pageant of characters, including zealous policemen, intrepid reporters, Frank’s martyred wife, and a fiery populist who manipulated local anger at Northern newspapers that pushed for Frank’s exoneration.

Download and read online ebook The Dead Shall Rise write by Hutsell K. Melanie. This book was released on 2016-08-15. The Dead Shall Rise available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Melanie K. Hutsell's debut novel, The Dead Shall Rise, uses magical realism and the earthy authenticity of Appalachia to create its modern folktale world, both beautiful and baleful. It is set in the mountain village of Beulah Creek, whose ordinary inhabitants are unsettled by the arrival of a stranger seeking shelter from a mysterious past. The woman, who calls herself Malathy Joan, moves into the haunted Greenberry place. Though she attracts friends and admirers as she tries to heal the atmosphere of deceit and disaster in the abandoned house, the spirits of its dead cannot rest and tragedy once more threatens to change Beulah Creek forever. Two chapters from the novel (in slightly different form and under a different title) won first place in the Tennessee Writers' Alliance Novel Competition in 2001, awarded at the Southern Festival of Books in Nashville. A native of Kingsport, Tennessee, Melanie currently lives in Maryville, but she has many treasured childhood memories of visiting her maternal grandmother, Mamaw, at the family farm in Plainview. Her short fiction has appeared in Appalachian Heritage, Still: The Journal, Trajectory, and the Knoxville Writers' Guild anthology, Outscape: Writings on Fences and Frontiers. An avid reader and music lover, she has also published poetry in The Sow's Ear. "This is the highest caliber of story-telling in the tradition of Thomas Hardy or Lee Smith, yet completely original as well, told in the unmistakable and singular voice of Hutsell, who has carefully crafted each sentence so that we know we're in the hands of the truest of writers. The Dead Shall Rise is a beauty." -Silas House author of Clay's Quilt and A Parchment of Leaves "Melanie Hutsell brings the mountain town of Beulah Creek to life. Ordinary people live ordinary lives until a stranger arrives among them. Walking away from a past that haunts her, she walks into a present that will haunt her and the rest of the town. Taking up residence in the Old Greenberry place, Malathy Joan gathers a circle of friends and begins to renew herself until the spirits of the dead and fallen stars take her away from the sphere of her true friends. Full of suspense and magical realism, The Dead Shall Rise creates a landscape, both gorgeous and ominous, for the reader's exploration." -Jane Hicks author of Driving with the Dead

This book was released on 2010-05-04. Radical available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.
