Sinopse

In "Myths of Northern Lands," H. A. Guerber delves into the rich tapestry of mythological narratives originating from Scandinavian and other northern cultures. This scholarly work is characterized by its lyrical prose and meticulous research, weaving together ancient stories to illuminate the beliefs and values of these societies. Guerber contextualizes the myths within the broader landscape of European folklore, enabling readers to understand how these tales reflect civilizational concerns regarding nature, fate, and the human condition. By tracing themes of heroism, divinity, and the natural world, the author offers a comprehensive portrayal of the cultural psyche prevalent in the northern reaches of Europe. H. A. Guerber was an eminent scholar and writer, whose passion for myth and history was cultivated during her extensive studies across the globe. Born in 1859, she was deeply influenced by the folkloric traditions that permeated her childhood in France and later her engagement with Anglo-Saxon literature. Her scholarly work often sought to bridge gaps between diverse cultures, a goal evident in this collection as she artfully connects Norse mythology with its wider European context, showcasing her commitment to understanding humanity's shared narratives. For readers interested in mythology, folklore, or the intricate interplay of culture and narrative, "Myths of Northern Lands" is an invaluable resource. Guerber's engaging narrative and thorough analysis make these ancient tales accessible both to scholars and casual readers alike. This book not only entertains but also educates, providing profound insights into the human spirit as expressed through the myths of the northern regions.

Mrs Cook and the Klan - Booze...

Tom Chorneau

On the day she was murdered, Myrtle Underwood Cook boasted to local authorities about new evidence of a major bootlegging ring operating out of the Rock Island train depot behind her house in a small town in eastern Iowa. Then, as she sat at her window sewing, she took a single slug through the heart. She was president of the local temperance union; her killing made the front page of the New York Times. The next day her funeral made national news due to the eerie presence of a small army from the Ku Klux Klan, its members, donned in full regalia, drawn from three surrounding states. 
 
 
 
It was September 1925, and Al Capone had just taken over the Chicago Outfit, evangelist Billy Sunday was converting thousands to temperance, and the KKK had marched on Washington, DC. During its first half century of statehood, Iowa lurched from wet to dry and back eight times before Prohibition was ratified in 1919. And when Iowa was still a territory, its Black Codes imprinted generations with a legacy of intolerance and racism. 
 
 
 
Mrs. Cook and the Klan is a true crime investigation that not only sheds new light on Myrtle Underwood Cook's unsolved killing but also explores the confluence of the social, political, and economic forces that brought the Klan, street gangs, a local mob boss, and the temperance movement together in a small American town.
