Описание: Who were the black cowboys? They were drovers, foremen, fiddlers, cowpunchers, cattle rustlers, cooks, and singers. They worked as wranglers, riders, ropers, bulldoggers, and bronc busters. They came from varied backgrounds - some grew up in slavery, while free blacks often got their start in Texas and Mexico. Most who joined the long trail drives were men, but black women also rode and worked on western ranches and farms. The first overview of the subject in more than fifty years, Black Cowboys in the American West surveys the life and work of these cattle drivers from the years before the Civil War through the turn of the twentieth century. Including both classic, previously published articles and exciting new research, this collection also features select accounts of twentieth-century rodeos, music, people, and films. Arranged in three sections - ""Cowboys on the Range,"" ""Performing Cowboys,"" and ""Outriders of the Black Cowboys"" - the thirteen chapters illuminate the great diversity of the black cowboy experience. Like all ranch hands and riders, African American cowboys lived hard, dangerous lives. But black drovers were expected to do the roughest, most dangerous work - and to do it without complaint. They faced discrimination out west, albeit less than in the South, which many had left in search of autonomy and freedom. As cowboys, they could escape the brutal violence visited on African Americans in many southern communities and northern cities. Black cowhands remain an integral part of life in the West, the descendants of African Americans who ventured west and helped settle and establish black communities. This long-overdue examination of nineteenth- and twentieth-century black cowboys ensures that they, and their many stories and experiences, will continue to be known and told.

Описание:
Proverbs 15:3 says, "The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good." This book brings these verses to life.
These are the stories of a police officer who has witnessed miracles, both on duty and off duty. The miracles that God allowed him to be part of taught him many lessons about prayer and paying attention. The miracles forever changed his life.
The story about a doughnut shop employee who was held up at gunpoint is truly amazing. God solved this crime. Do you believe God cares about the police and their doughnuts? The bike story and the jewelry store robbery are two of the most amazing police stories you will ever hear. Only God could have solved these two crimes the way the cases unfolded. In fact, God is the greatest detective on the case. He has been paying attention to every crime committed from the beginning of history. This eye-opening book will inspire readers to pray for miracles, and then pay attention to the answers. They will not be disappointed.
During his 25 years with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Dean Scoville advanced from nervous recruit to silver-tongued spokesperson to seasoned patrol sergeant. His candid memoir chronicles the personal experiences of police work--the tedium of guarding jail inmates, the consternation of shoot/don't-shoot scenarios, the trauma of being wounded in the line of duty--and offers an insider's view of iconic moments in law enforcement, including the capture of "Night Stalker" Richard Ramirez and the 1992 L.A. Riots. Along the way he examines a profession increasingly beleaguered by inimical agendas, administrative cowardice and fiscal restraints.

Описание:
Throughout LeRoy Green's childhood and adulthood, he would endure pain, suffering, disrespect, and abuse. He would spend his early adulthood pursuing the world and giving himself over to alcohol, partying, clubbing, and drugs. Had he not turned his life over to Christ to guide his footsteps, thoughts, and decisions, LeRoy knows he would have a different story to tell.
Beginning his police life as a detention deputy working in a jail, LeRoy faced racism, injustice, and a system that worked against him. However, through hard work and--most importantly--through relying on God, LeRoy would work his way up over the years to become the first African American sheriff in Kansas. God would also open the door for LeRoy to travel all around the United States and abroad.
LeRoy firmly believes that if God had not been standing by his side, he would have given up early in his life. But God was right there beside him, helping him walk through his circumstances, decisions, and the challenges he would face throughout his years.

Описание: True stories of what is happening in hearts and minds of law enforcement. A way to see them as what they are - human. Hearts Beneath the Badge is a unique compilation of interviews with officers across the country. It's not about the crimes they witness or the judgment they face; it's about them - Damien, Danny, Frances, Ken, Pamela, Brian, and more. Their thoughts, their fears, their proud moments and their heartbreak. It's about the people we often don't see because we are blinded by the uniform. They are among the hundreds of thousands that are unseen each day, the men and women that go back for more no matter the personal cost. They provide meals, rides, lifesaving breaths and prosthetic legs. Yes, even prosthetic legs. There is much more to them than meets the eye-or the news camera. By reading this book, you will open yourself to a world of people you may have forgotten existed. You will see the names, families and some of the faces of the police officers that don't make the news. Hearts Beneath the Badge is a book about the good deeds officers perform. There is a pressing need for people to see more than just the officer's hearts; they need to see their souls. Society as a whole needs to accept police officers for who they are - mere mortals. In order to do that, they must look through the layers of the officer's lives and see the heartache and joy, the same heartaches and joy we all experience. Society also needs to know that, whether we want to admit it or not, there is a price to be paid for pursing the love of the law. Proceeds of the book are donated to www.BlueHELP.org.
