Bruce, Donald Roger. (1977). The Early Career of Sepp Dietrich: 28 May 1892 – 1 September 1939. Tempe, Arizona: Arizona State University. Master’s Thesis. Pages: iv + 151. [Me].

ABSTRACT

This biography examines the early career of SS (Schutzstaffel or Guard Detachment) General Sepp Dietrich between his birth on 28 May 1892 and the invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939. The major emphasis Is on the decade between Dietrich's admission into the SS, which evolved Into

the Nazis’ multifunctional Elite Corps, in May 1928 and the occupation of Austria In March 1938.

Particular attention Is devoted to Dietrich's role in the Ernst Röhm affair of 30 June 1934, when he oversaw the execution of six high-ranking SA (Sturmabteilung or Storm Troop) leaders of the Nazis’ brown-shirted militia. His humble peasant birth and youth, his seven years in the Imperial Army and in World War I, and his postwar years of indecision and as a Nazi fellow traveler are examined in detail.

Dietrich’s rapid promotions from SS private to SS general in less than four years, his successive appointments as Adolf Hitler's personal bodyguard, and as head of the Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler (SS Bodyguard Regiment Adolf Hitler) are followed by four years of parades, overseeing the protection of the Führer, and preparations for war. The bloodless seizures of Austria and Czechoslovakia, and mobilizatlon for the invasion of Poland complete his early career. His abilities as an SS general and the many legends surrounding his person will also be investigated. (amazon.com).

Choc, Wes. (15 Jun 2015). Just Dust: An Improbable Marine's Vietnam Story. Wheatmark. Pages: 234. [My brother’s friend].

From San Diego to Da Nang, from Hill 55 to Khe Sanh, followed by perplexing prospects in Washington, DC, this is a unique sojourn about a few bizarre events, introspections, and serendipitous choices encountered by a skeptical, eye-squinting Marine. Just Dust: An Improbable Marine's Vietnam Story is the first-person account of a reluctant serviceman. It is the story of how a young man, unprepared to make meaningful decisions, decides to join the US Marine Corps in 1965. Skinny, tall, and a self-proclaimed "wimp," Wes Choc sweats through boot camp, isolating himself and not making many friends. He is so different that only leftover boots from WWII fit his oddly-sized feet. Posted to two historically significant places -- Hill 55 and Khe Sanh -- the author details his time in Vietnam, including jobs examining personal effects of those killed in action to finally returning home to unimagined pursuits in Washington, DC. Despite being at the forefront of the Vietnam War, the author does not tell the typical war story. Evaluative and observational, Just Dust is more journal than history, more about trying to fit in than being admired. This pensive narrative from a contemplative skeptic poses questions that many will identify with from their own parallel journeys. What core values nurtured by the military process also offer important life lessons? Are unconventional abilities in experience or attitude things that make one more worthy as a person or less worthy a Marine? What was gained from the Vietnam experience that mattered the most? In the end, the author's meditations lead him to understand what Semper fi means to him. (amazon.com).

Greenly, Larry W. (1 Sep 2016). Eugene Bullard: World's First Black Fighter Pilot. NewSouth Books. YA-ages 7-12. [Creative Writing class teacher].

Pioneering black aviator Eugene Bullard, descended from slaves, became the world’s first black fighter pilot, though he was barred from serving the United States because of the color of his skin.

Growing up in Georgia, Bullard faced discrimination and the threat of lynching. He ran away from home at twelve and eventually made his way to France, where he joined the French Foreign Legion and later the Lafayette Flying Corps. He saw fierce combat during World War I and was wounded multiple times. He returned to the United States with a chest full of medals, but once again faced discrimination. Bullard was all but ignored in the United States, even as, at age sixty-four in 1959, he was made a Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor. Eugene Bullard’s is a remarkable story of accomplishment despite racial prejudice. Author Larry Greenly’s biography includes numerous historical photographs of Bullard throughout his travels.

Greenly, Larry W.

In writing class he told us he wrote a novel about WWI, but I can’.t find it on amazon or ebay.

Haynes, Evelyn Harriet Jenne. (1996). The Oral History of Evelyn Harriet Jenne Haynes. Self published spiral book. Pages: ? No Introduction. [Cousin].

PREFACE.

Evelyn Harriet Jenne was born November 21, 1912 in Richford, Vermont. She was the oldest of three children born to Margaret L. Chamberlain* (1885—1929) and Frank Llewelyn Jenne (1887—1918) .

The other siblings were her brothers Frank Llewelyn and James Gilbert. And in 1926 her mother Margaret gave birth to Mildred Jenne.

In her oral history Evelyn recalls her family, childhood years, life in South Boston, memories of her neighborhood friends, marriage to Clifford Elwood Haynes, work during the Great Depression, and her favorite pastimes: singing, dancing, nurturing plants, and caring for animals. Evelyn lived most of her married life at 140 Island Street in Stoughton, Massachusetts, about 20 miles directly south of Boston.

The taped interviews were conducted by Judith A. (StarØish) Haynes on January 14, January 29, and February 25, 1996, in Evelyn's present home at 103 Peter Road, Plymouth, Massachusetts. Judy also completed transcribing and word processing of the taped interviews, and the initial editing of the oral history. With both Evelyn's and Judith's permission, son Bob Haynes further edited this oral history by inserting phrases of clarification [within brackets] and by rearranging and compiling some of his mother's recollections so that "bits and pieces" of a single memory were not dispersed throughout this document. Bob also scanned his mother's collection of family photographs and he selected those that are included in this memoir. Many of the oldest photographs were reproduced through computer enhancement at a professional studio to eliminate lack of contrast from the so—called "yellowing" effect. The captions that accompany the photographs in this memoir were written by Bob as well.

Liddell, Judith, and Barbara Hussey. (12 Oct 2011). Birding Hot Spots of Central New Mexico. (W. L. Moody Jr. Natural History Series). [Fellow birder].

From pine forest to desert scrub, from alpine meadow to riparian wetland, Albuquerque and its surrounding area in New Mexico offer an appealing variety of wildlife habitat. Birders are likely to see more than two hundred species during a typical year of bird-watching. Now, two experienced birders, Judith Liddell and Barbara Hussey, share their intimate knowledge of the best places to find birds in and around this important region.

Covering the Rio Grande corridor, the Sandia and Manzano Mountains, Petroglyph National Monument, and the preserved areas and wetlands south of Albuquerque (including crane and waterfowl haven Bosque del Apache), Birding Hotspots of Central New Mexico offers twenty-nine geographically organized site descriptions, including maps and photographs, trail diagrams, and images of some of the birds and scenery birders will enjoy. Along with a general description of each area, the authors list target birds; explain where and when to look for them; give driving directions; provide information about public transportation, parking, fees, restrooms, food, and lodging; and give tips on availability of water and picnic facilities and on the presence of hazards such as rattlesnakes, bears, and poison ivy.

The book includes a “helpful information” section that discusses weather, altitude, safety, transportation, and other local birding resources. The American Birding Association’s code of birding ethics appears in the back of the book, along with an annotated checklist of 222 bird species seen with some regularity in and around Albuquerque.
