Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
Work in the coal mines, social hour at the barber shop, and making moonshine in the Tennessee hills isn't fun if you can't laugh about it! Here is a hilarious anthology of jokes and anecdotes about life in the mountains and much much more! I have been a barber for 45 years, everyone knows that a lot of hair gets on the floor and everyone talks about what to do with it. I hear you can put it around the house to keep the deer out, so I tried something new I put the hair around the tomatoes. I had some beautiful tomatoes but I had to shave them before I could eat them. One of my uncles was the biggest whiskey man in Tennessee he made moonshine whiskey for 45 years. I will tell you how good his whiskey was, a man moved up on the mountain, he had a wooden leg he started drinking the new whiskey called Block and Tackle. A few months later he noticed sprouts were growing on his leg, he had to carry a axe to keep the sprouts cut off.

King Leopold's Ghost
Author: Adam Hochschild
Publisher: Picador
ISBN: 1760785202
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
With an introduction by award-winning novelist Barbara Kingsolver In the late nineteenth century, when the great powers in Europe were tearing Africa apart and seizing ownership of land for themselves, King Leopold of Belgium took hold of the vast and mostly unexplored territory surrounding the Congo River. In his devastatingly barbarous colonization of this area, Leopold stole its rubber and ivory, pummelled its people and set up a ruthless regime that would reduce the population by half. . While he did all this, he carefully constructed an image of himself as a deeply feeling humanitarian. Winner of the Duff Cooper Prize in 1999, King Leopold’s Ghost is the true and haunting account of this man’s brutal regime and its lasting effect on a ruined nation. It is also the inspiring and deeply moving account of a handful of missionaries and other idealists who travelled to Africa and unwittingly found themselves in the middle of a gruesome holocaust. Instead of turning away, these brave few chose to stand up against Leopold. Adam Hochschild brings life to this largely untold story and, crucially, casts blame on those responsible for this atrocity.
