View Larger Image This Stubborn Soil: A Frontier Boyhood William A. Owens ISBN: 9781558219892 Publisher: Lyons Pr Publication Date: 1999 Binding: Softcover In this overlooked masterwork, William Owens eloquently recounts his struggle to overcome the harshest of adversaries -- poverty and hunger -- to earn an education in the small town of Pin Hook, Texas. He recalls in vivid detail how his mother found to feed and hold together her family, and how he fought for knowledge in a land that was, for the most part, illiterate. This is not only the magnificent chronicle of one man's insatiable desire for an education, but also a rich chapter in the history of Texas. The book, which is classic Americana, was the subject of a Bill Moyers PBS special. More About this Book Other editions: Softcover - 1989, Hardcover - 1986
View Larger Image Black Mutiny William A. Owens; William A. Ownes ISBN: 9781567405781 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Lib Edn Publication Date: 1998 Set in 1839, this is the true story of a revolt on the Spanish slave ship Amistad, whose "cargo" of 53 Africans rebelled against their captors. Capture off the coast of Connecticut when their desperate attempt to sail home failed, the Africans are forced to stand trial for the murder of the crew that had held them prisoner. To win their freedom, they find themselves taking on not just the Spanish, but the entire American system of justice. They are joined in their fight by a young attorney, former US President John Quincy Adams, and a fiery abolitionist. Director Steven Spielberg has won seven Oscars, and directed or produced six of the twenty top-grossing films of all time. This movie, he told Newsweek, is very close to his heart. "I am making this film for my black children and my white children. They all need to know this story". More About this Book Other editions: 1998, 1998, 1998, Softcover - 1997, Hardcover - 1997
