Book Description
Steele Here: An Underdog's Secret to Success is about dreaming big. For author, former state representative, and former NFL player Robert Steele, the dream was to make the Dallas Cowboys roster. Though he was a chronic underdog (the training camp depth chart had him dead last among the receivers), Robert¿s incredible work ethic, tireless enthusiasm, and determination landed him on the team for the `78 season. From the start, Robert had to work harder and longer than everyone else to succeed. Despite the exhaustion, his dedication paid off. Decades later, Robert reflects on lessons learned from football legends, like Roger Staubach, Mike Ditka, Dan Reeves, and Tom Landry, along with a host of teammates. Using the relentless work ethic he learned on the field, Robert has since become a business success. With inside details of pro football and advice for any underdogs, Steele Here is a reflection on tenacity, integrity, and the success they bring to those who have been counted out.

Book Description
A reflective look at some of those responsible for the placement of Jacksonville, Florida on the universal map of rock and roll. This autobiographical account of personal and professional triumph and tragedy takes the reader through the formative years of both Lynyrd Skynyrd and 38 Special, recounting those days when making records was only a dream. Former 38 Special stage manager and co-writer, Larry Steele, gives a first-hand account of growing up on the Westside of Jacksonville, of forming his first band with Allen Collins, and of the journey they each pursued, where scores of novice musicians sought a better way of life. Steele describes his own experiences as a musician, along with the friendships that would endure the rivalry which existed between his own band and those who would eventually become Lynyrd Skynyrd. After years of performing with various bands in the North Florida area, including a brief stint with Skynyrd in 1973, Steele would begin his employment with 38 Special in January, 1980. From here is chronicled the 38 story from its very beginning; the frustrations of living in the shadow of Skynyrd while trying to perfect a sound of their own, and the decision to push forward after the tragic loss of their friend, brother and mentor, Ronnie Van Zant. From the rehearsal hall, to the recording studios, to headlining the most renowned concert venues of North America, Europe and Japan, take a ride on the buses, planes and bullet trains that took them all the way there.

Fort Steele

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Fort Steele began in 1864 as the site of John Galbraith's ferry, which transported eager gold seekers across the Kootenay River to nearby Wild Horse Creek. Major Sam Steele's "D" Division of the North West Mounted Police built Kootenay Post here in 1887 and helped alleviate tensions between white settlers and the Native Ktunaxa people. With all disputes settled peacefully and Steele recalled to Alberta to take on a new challenge, the appreciative residents renamed the town in 1888 to honour the highly regarded Mountie. As more settlers came, trails became roads. In summer, riverboats ran north and south to link with railways. Government offices made Fort Steele the administrative centre for East Kootenay. A bustling business community developed, and a newspaper was born. A school, three churches, an Opera House, and a hospital soon followed. Fort Steele boomed until the BC Southern Railway bypassed it. Naomi Miller, a local resident and interpreter at Fort Steele Heritage Town, provides many insights into the lives of the citizens of the town and district.
