This is the true story about a phenomenal woman with an incredible life who found herself deeply involved in the Civil War, even though she tried to avoid the encounter. When she realized she had a reason to meet Abraham Lincoln without any idea why, she discovered she had a purpose that no other person did. The book begins when Nettie is a child and she seems to be surrounded by spiritual psychic events. It follows her youth as she seems to begin developing psychic medium abilities and her experiences with them. By the time she was twenty she discovered she was a trance medium with the ability to channel spirit voices through her own body while seemingly unconscious. While attempting to get a furlough for her injured brother while he was in the Civil War field hospital, Nettie happened to meet Mary Todd Lincoln at a "circle" in Washington, D. C. in December, 1862. The rest is history and all contained within the book. This book was written to celebrate Nettie Colburn for who she was and what she did to help save the American Union. After discovering that my gr-gr-grandmother Nettie Colburn had written a book about Lincoln and her experiences in Washington during the Civil War, I was determined to find an original 1891 printing. I discovered her book had also been copyrighted in Canada and without thinking, I wrote the author to see if I'd be able to rewrite or add to the story. I was quickly given written permission to rewrite Nettie's book. At the time I didn't know why I was compelled to do so, but I inevitably discovered I had records, insights and other information that would fill in the story of Nettie Colburn. After reading her 1891 book I discovered she had embedded family history information within its pages that helped me determine her family story where nothing was known. I also was able to determine Nettie was more deeply involved in the White House planning and actions in the Union's fight against the rebels in the Civil War. I took Nettie's story and was able to expand upon it to bring her story back to life. I believe I made this book a much fuller version of a biography of Nettie Colburn. She was an important person in the Civil War and appeared to have been over-shadowed by history.

Download and read online ebook Just Call Me Jane write by Dennis Solon. This book was released on 2013-10-11. Just Call Me Jane available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. I have always had people who knew my mother tell me that someday someone should write a book about that woman. While I sometimes had the inclination to write her story, I never seemed to find the time. However, I was forced to have a spinal fusion and the recovery period meant months away from my golf game. I now had the time to write my mothers story, which turned out to be my story as well. Because this would be a totally new venture for me, I was looking for help and input from many directions. Undoubtedly, Martha, my wife, was my biggest helper and supporter. I want to thank her for putting up with Jane and her bizarre ways all those years. Martha also has a degree in English, which came in very handy when editing the book. Next I would like to acknowledge our four children, Mark, Michael, John, and Shannon. They all had to deal with Jane. They reminded me of some of Janes eccentricities which are mentioned in this book. Most of all, I want the kids to know that I sincerely regret that Jane was not a better Grandma to them. Grandmas are wonderful people and our kids missed out on that joy in life. I appreciate the input of Rosie Browning, our friend and accomplished teacher of English, who read the first draft and made many suggestions that I welcomed and incorporated into the book. I would also like to thank Sandi Faber for her contribution and editing skills. Many thanks to Dee Domingo, our neighbor and computer guru. I could not have put this book on a flash drive without her. I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge all of my friends who gave me such positive encouragement. My friend Jeanie Williamson suggested the title, and Nancy Campbell, my former secretary, shared some of her memories with me. Every story about Jane in this book is true and is written exactly as remembered by folks who dealt with her directly. To my brother-in-law Jerome Carrigan, my nephew Jay Carrigan and his wife Lisa, my niece Michele, and certainly John Nelson, I just want to say thanks for remembering.

Scottish cattleman Duff MacCallister staked a claim for his life in America—and reserves a righteous anger for those who break the law in this smoking six-gun shootout from National Bestselling Authors William W. and J.A. Johnstone . . . Thanks to a new line, the railroad has come to Chugwater, Wyoming, bridging the gap between the small town and the larger city of Cheyenne. Now Duff MacCallister can transport his 250 Black Angus cattle herd with ease by Iron Horse instead of enduring a two-day traildrive. But the day after depositing $15,000 in his Cheyenne account, Duff learns that bank president Jeremy Brinks embezzled every cent—totalling $65,000—and then guilt-ridden, committed suicide. Jeremy wasn’t just Duff’s banker, but his longtime friend. The widow Brinks doesn’t believe her husband was a thief or that he killed himself. Duff agrees. And after getting an appointment as Territorial Marshal, he’s aiming his barrel at putting every double-crossing lawman, red-handed outlaw, and corrupt businessmen he can rustle up behind bars—or six feet under . . .

This book was released on 2024-03-26. This Time Around available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Two decades ago, two strangers make a connection that bonds them for life. Perfect for fans of second chance romance, This Time Around is the love reunion hopeless romantics have been waiting for. Dr. Tessa Howard is sick and tired of everything—her job, her nagging mother, and her boyfriend who wouldn’t know commitment if it hit him in the face. The only thing that didn’t work her last nerve was her soon-to-be twenty-year-old daughter, Cyrah. Watching her one and only child, her greatest accomplishment, live life out loud was her greatest joy. Tessa didn’t know what she’d do if she didn’t have Cyrah, whom she admittedly lived vicariously through. After an epiphany in the middle of the night, Tessa finds herself single and unemployed. With no job, no man, and no prospects for either, Tessa finally decides to let loose and learns that history does, in fact, repeats itself. Dr. Cypress Boone recently ended a relationship after a two-year engagement. He’d given his all to Emery, but she played him for a fool. Although disappointed, he hasn’t given up on love and is ready for a fresh start. Emery, however, isn’t ready to let go and refuses to accept that they are over. In an effort to make a clean break, he accepts a job at the prestigious Black Elm University, over two thousand miles away from his current residence. With a new job in a new city, Cypress has high hopes that a new woman will soon be added to the equation. However, maybe this time around, someone new isn’t what he needs.
