The work of James Weldon Johnson (1871 - 1938) inspired and encouraged the artists of the Harlem Renaissance,a movement in which he himself was an important figure. Johnson was active in almost every aspect of American civil life and became one of the first African-American professors at New York University. He is best remembered for his writing, which questions, celebrates and commemorates his experience as an African-American.
This is a documented account of the events leading up to the Battle at King’s Mountain (South Carolina) on October 7, 1780, and one eventful hour that changed the course of American history.
If you believe in "thoughts become things", well this has happened for a lonely chap by the name of Stanley Charles Young, Great Uncle of the author of this short book. Stanley had always intended to write about his experiences whilst serving as a bomb-aimer on a Lancaster bomber for Bomber Command. He never got around to doing it, so armed with a manuscript typed out on an old type-writer Robert decided to make an effort to share one of Stanley's stories to whoever may be interested. The book describes pre-flight, the flight out, the bombing of Hitler's Berlin at the time, the scramble out and to the landing, and checking for damage to the Lancaster bomber. Although brief Stan's thought has become a thing in the form of this book. Thank you for your service Stanley Young.
