Book Description
Within a richly layered context, The Cowboy and the Canal probes the intrigue behind Roosevelt's decision to purchase the expiring concession, rotting machinery, and dilapidated buildings from the bankrupt French Panama Canal Company and dig the interoceanic canal in Panama instead of the favored site, Nicaragua. Drawing from primary sources-newspaper stories, editorials, political cartoons, the Congressional record, books, magazines, journals, and letters-The Cowboy and the Canal reintroduces the voices who criticized Roosevelt's actions and questioned his motives, that through time and historical homogenization, have removed from what was at the time, a heated national conversation. These voices add a balance to what has been a one-sided conversation that lauds Roosevelt for "taking Panama" and ignores his indispensable role in manufacturing a rebellion within the country of an ally, Colombia, and in creating one of the biggest frauds of its kind ever perpetrated upon the American people.

These voices add a balance to what has been a one-sided conversation that lauds Roosevelt for "taking Panama" and ignores his indispensible role in manufacturing a rebellion within the country of an ally, Columbia, and in creating one of the biggest frauds of its kind ever perpetrated upon the American public. The villains who abetted, encouraged and facilitated Roosevelt's behind-the-scenes American takeover of the Columbian province of Panama and the subsequent diversion of millions of American taxpayer dollars into the hands of a few capitalists and financiers are varied. They range all the way from Roosevelt's youngest sister Corrine and her husband Douglas Robinson, to the scheming would-be French aristocrat, Philippe Bunau-Varilla, a slick New York corporate lawyer, William Nelson Cromwell, and the venerable John Hay, Roosevelt administration Secretary of State. Some of the most prominent industrialists and capitalists of the day, including financier J.P. Morgan, former president of the New York Stock Exchange, J. Edward Simmons, railroad magnate C. P. Huntington, and Charles Taft, multimillionaire older brother of the soon to become U.S. president, William Howard Taft, played supporting roles in this saga. An ex-Confederate general, Democratic Senator John Tyler Morgan, and an ailing but indomitable Joseph Pulitzer, and Pulitzer's editorial staff of his The World newspaper are among the unlikely heroes in this political drama.

Book Description
Jim Dorion was recruited and trained to launder money for an International Trust Co. He was told that this money was investors' money. He later found out that he was investing millions of dollars for an organized crime family as well as the Colombia Cocaine Cartel. With the IRS hot on Jims trail for laundering money, someone stole $500,000 of the Cartel's money; and he was held responsible. Now, with $500,000 of the Cartel's money missing, he became a hunted man with $100,000 reward on his head, dead or alive. Discarded by his mentor with nowhere to hide, he had to disappear. For six years he hid in seclusion on a remote Mesa in Utah, but the abduction and rescue of a woman forced him to come out of seclusion and face the world. The Cartel still wanted him dead and was looking for him all over the world. He finally decided that he was tired of running; he had nowhere to go and nothing left to lose. He decided if it's war they wanted, it's war he would give them. He would hit them where it really hurt, and they wouldn't see it coming. Greed would be his weapon.

Book Description
Life working along the banks of the Erie Canal is preserved in the songs of America's rich musical history. Thomas Allen's "Low Bridge, Everybody Down" has achieved iconic status in the American songbook, but its true story has never been told until now. Erie songs such as "The E-ri-e Is a-Risin'" would transform into "The C&O Is a-Risin'" as the song culture spread among a network of other canals, including the Chesapeake and Ohio and the Pennsylvania Main Line. As motors replaced mules and railroads emerged, the canal song tradition continued on Broadway stages and in folk music recordings. Author Bill Hullfish takes readers on a musical journey along New York's historic Erie Canal.
