Описание:
This wide and diverse collection of one man's life's eclectic short stories, personal anecdotes, harrowing adventures, ill-advised doings, and concise wisdom gained therefrom, will be beneficial, entertaining, exciting, and compelling to those from all walks of life. All these I leave for you, my fellow life travelers. My credibility for you in writing this book for you is simply this; In the progression of my time on earth I have drunk deeply from life's bitterest cup - and tasted of life's sweetest nectar. This I have learned; The brave may not live forever, but the cautious may not live at all.
With time out for raising a family and climbing the corporate ladder in heavy engineering and high-rise building construction, I have also successfully started many small businesses, then to sell out from lack of interest when up and going, profitability established and curiosity satisfied. Shipping out on a tramp freighter and a stint in South America in the early 1960's as an undercover government operative and pilot only whetted my appetite and curiosity for more such doings, some as revealed here. Then years later a wonderful fifteen of my years were spent in Southeast Asia carried my adventures forward and through many harrowing happenings. Most rewarding, among others, has been helping Hmong Hilltribe people escape through the Army lines of the Communist regimes in Laos and Cambodia to a redoubt across the Mekong River into the mountains of Northern Thailand, there to live with them and help them build villages safe from their oppressors. All this saved me from utter boredom when I needed it most - and occurred while also delving into and trying to understand what was to me, convoluted cultures centuries older than mine and diametrically opposed to it. Through difficult and dangerous experiences, I found that people are basically the same the world over, and develop similarly, but with different customs, and even a different though process which evolves in different environments and separated by half a world away. Such differences obscures the basic humanity in all of us, and gentle tolerance is of the essence.
Stay on that mysterious, Eclectic Road of Life at your leisure by using this book of astounding, beneficial and informative things - then go forward and grasp your own adventures as they come. We are limited only by the smallness of our dreams ...and remember - all who wander, are not lost. ...ETM

Описание:
Action and adventure so awesome and fearful - yet it was real and still verifiable in the lives of many thousands, especially for one of the characters, whose life is traced through 3 of the 4 formative eras of the United States of America following the America Revolution. The eras of the Great American Clipper Ships, the 1849 Gold Rush in California (where the "American Dream" was born), and the tragic American Civil War, all come into vivid reality at the Historical places and events described. A deep and abiding mystery runs though one man's life (even for him) as he is swept up in a prominent part of all these exciting, awesome times as he seemlessly goes from one to the other, making his mark in all three. All is interwoven with a deep, unrequited romance that sustains this struggling American through unimaginable hardships and hard-won victories both personal and historical. Flawed as we all are, he strides through true and actual history to lasting fame. All has long been known, verified and revealed in countless old letters, diaries, old newspaper articles, records and artifacts as still found in the Library of Congress as seen and researched by the Author personally - an effort that consumed over three years of his life. All comes together in one gripping and amazing ending. Will you be able to solve the mysteries, guess the nature and outcome of the romance - to walk along as a silent observer and see the fearsome tradgedies he must endure, as well as the heights of sublimity that he finally acieves without the fetters of Socialism? Read and learn true and verifiable history, some you never knew or were taught, while breathlessly being caught up in a vivid, descriptive action packed adventure, as if you were there

Описание:
This is not so much a book of recipes per se, as it is a History Book of Recipes. Here is an eclectic mix of Recipes of the World - and could also be called Recipes of the Ages for that is what so many of them are - although some may not recognize them as such. This is because many are "country favorites"; dishes that most of us from Texas and the Deep South were raised on. They are at the same time both current and old, tried and true, forever young recipes, many little changed over centuries of time, which might not be evident unless doing the research that clearly reveals it. This book was originally begun as an effort to preserve the favorite, old-time and much loved recipes and memorabilia of two very different families who were brought together by marriage. Many of the "Recipes of the World" contained herein, are those which have sifted down to us over the centuries, gathered mainly from the settlers and descendants of two main areas of the United States: the Deep South, and the Texas/ Southwest. The recipes of the Deep South are those brought to us by the European settlers along the Southeastern Seaboard, 85% of whom were Irish - and because of that these old favorites also reflect many much-loved favorites of England and the entire European continent time out of mind, i.e., the Food of the Peasantry. Food eaten by those in the Texas/Southwest also include these Deep South favorites (because it was was settled by people from the Southeastern states), but this book also contains the everyday old time favorites of the mass of other Texas settlers as well; the many Germans, Swedes, Czechs, Poles, and others. Indeed, the author's Texas born wife is Czechoslovakian - and this not to mention the many original Texas settlers from Old Mexico, many who died at the Alamo fighting for independence. All the favorite "Tex-Mex" recipes are included along with some basic recipes which the Author collected while living for a time in the rurality of Mexico. Many have personal anecdotes as to how I came by them. Included also, are most of the basic favorites of California (Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese dishes), the Pacific Northwest, as well as the Midwestern and the prominently recognized regional recipes of the Northeastern states with all their different seafood chowders - and the eclectic mix of so many of the ethnic foods of such as Italy, Africa, the Middle and Far East, the Orient and many others from peoples all over the world. And let us not forget that emphasis is placed here as well, on the all-time favorite Louisiana Cajun Seafood Recipes that are included herein. Emil T.
