"Soldiers, Saints and Sinners: Stories of Long Ago" is a series of short stories about West Tennessee history, stretching from the pioneer days to more recent times.   The characters in these stories range from Civil War soldiers -- and a sniper, “Confederate Long Rifle;” to Lucy Holcombe, the “Sweetheart of the Confederacy;” to a con artist posing as a Baptist preacher, “The Holy Cheat;” to Roscoe Turner, amazing aviator and his pet lion Gilmore, “The Lion Who Flew.” Gilmore flew all over the nation and spent his last years sunning himself on an African lion farm.   Historic figures include doctors, entrepreneurs, pilots, game wardens, football coaches and musicians. We wouldn't have the Waffle House if it hadn't been for Joe W. Rogers, Sr. of Jackson, Tennessee. The music world wouldn't be the same without Carl Perkins, Eddy Arnold and "Sonny Boy" Williamson.  These true characters laughed, cried, went to war or into business and shaped the history of West Tennessee, and in some instances, the nation and the world.   Take a journey through time in the pages of "Soldiers, Saints and Sinners: Stories of Long Ago." Our history is all around us if only we look. You’ll come away with something new to think about, and perhaps you’ll reach the last page saying, “Well, I never knew that!”

Historical

Jocie: Southern Jewish American Princess, Civil Rights Activist

What an adventure I have had converting from a typical Southern Jewish American Princess into an honored civil rights activist. After Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated in my town, I started calling my maid "Mrs." -- while my husband and children didn't. The family's prominence in business gave me the security to change.
 Born in 1940, I hit adulthood in Memphis during its 1960s turmoil. My value system was turned upside down. I tried to straddle the life I was reared to live and the life that was revolting against the former me.
 A second sanitation workers strike was threatened for July 1969. July, as in flies! The mayor and the union were at an impasse. Enter the women! I found myself leading a march on city hall and demanding resolution, pretty darn well. The sanitation workers and the city deserved better.
 I got divorced, became an attorney, started mediation in Memphis, and founded an award-winning human relations organization, the Memphis Panel of American Women.
 From Memphis to the State House to the White House, this book charts my journey through sacrifice, even death, but also crazy situations and funny incidents. I learned "HTSFIAMI." Read the book to find out what it means. Along this path, I have walked beside some incredible people.
 The balance sheet is positive. There was new insight, new friends, and new values, banjo picking, and an old crush -- who loves me still today.

Dragons are real!
 If you can sweep your mind clear of conventional thoughts and beliefs and bask in the wonder of the creation blending rhythms of magic, creativity and love, then perhaps you will believe that dragons have always existed, and I have talked with the Dragon Mother.
 In my mind's eye, I recalled every detail of her splendid form -- grace, elegance and beauty in her every movement. The woman known as the Dragon Mother was exquisite and refined, radiating the wisdom of the ages.
 A thunderous roar jolted me out of my pleasant musings. A metallic screech sent me leaping to my feet. Terror grabbed me as I looked up into the fiery eyes and grimacing mouth of a ferocious golden dragon. The Dragon Mother had arrived.
 What transpired was a journey to the In-Between where the Dragon Mother taught me about life's rhythms, the flowing universal forces, and the magic of dragons. They protect, they can destroy, and they may vanish for centuries, but they are always with us.
 Come travel with me to the In-Between. A dream? A vision? Or real? As the sea-salted air blew the gossamer curtains, I knew.

Footprints on the Mountains: Hiking the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine

Ten thousand hikers start the Appalachian Trail every year. Only ten percent finish.
 Whether you begin in Maine or Georgia, the trail is 2,186 miles long filled with steep climbs, deep valleys, rivers to ford, wildlife, majestic views, strangers who become friends, and swollen, blistered feet.
 I began this trek at age 66 and hiked 91 mountain peaks, went through 14 states, 464,464 elevation changes -- the equivalent of climbing Mt. Everest 25 times.
 Along the way, I acquired the trail name "Preacher," carried a 43-pound backpack, lost 25 pounds, got lost three times, and wore out seven pairs of boots.
 Many who start the trail are in a life turning point and seek spiritual guidance from the awesome wonder of the mountain peaks, sunsets, running rivers and sunrises that offer beauty and peace. Or they may seek a voice to share some solace, or an ear to listen. As I was called "Preacher," some came seeking counsel.
 I started the journey as a challenge to myself, but I found much more when I experienced God's footprints already on the mountains.
 I'm sharing my experiences to help others who choose to begin the journey. I hope my descriptions of the Trail, the people and equipment that worked for me, guide someone to travel these mountain trails and find answers.

Growing Up & Facts of Life

On August 18, 1920, thirty-year-old State Representative Joseph Hanover of Memphis walked through the grand lobby of The Hermitage Hotel to be greeted by deafening cheers and jeers from women wearing yellow or red roses. Yellow roses symbolized their support for the proposed Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution granting women the right to vote; red roses opposed it. Joe Hanover had become the nation's leading male voice in the fight for woman suffrage. The most powerful forces in Tennessee politics opposed him. But Joe Hanover was not going to back away from the fight. Joe Hanover and his family had immigrated from Poland 25 years earlier to escape the Czar of Russia's tyranny. Joe asked: "Why can't Mother vote?"Pro-suffrage leader Carrie Chapman Catt summoned the freshman legislator to her suite in The Hermitage Hotel in Nashville on Aug. 8, 1920, to ask Joe Hanover to become the floor leader in the Tennessee House of Representatives. Hanover, a Jewish immigrant who won his election as an Independent, spoke passionately about his family's flight from oppression in Poland. He said he was a true conservative who believed deeply in the Bill of Rights and that the rights set forth therein should be afforded to all Americans. For this, he was threatened in phone calls and physically assaulted in a hotel elevator. Governor A.H. Roberts assigned Hanover a bodyguard. But Hanover was determined. He held together the pro-suffrage faction votes for woman suffrage when Tennessee became the Perfect 36, the last state that could possibly ratify the Nineteenth Amendment. Hanover, Banks Turner of Yorkville and Harry Burn of Niota were the votes in the end that made the difference."Why Can't Mother Vote: Joseph Hanover and the Unfinished Business of Democracy" is a stirring account of the people who led the fight in Tennessee's pivotal vote to ratify the Nineteenth Amendment granting women the right to vote.
