LINCOLN STREET--a novel--is the coming-of-age memoir of award-winning author Billy Howard. Set in the '50s and '60s, Billy's hometown of Coffeyville, Kansas, is in the middle of America's "fly-over country." Anything but a sleepy little town, Coffeyville includes Billy's elm-shrouded and never humdrum neighborhood of Lincoln Street. Billy, his teenage classmates, and adult neighbors confront life's challenges that include adolescent fun, young love, marital reality, racial tension, "Sputnik," dreams of success, and murder. These maturing influences are woven together as Billy unpacks his gripping and redemptive memories, both as a teenager and as an adult. LINCOLN STREET follows in the tradition of MAIN STREET, MIDAQ ALLEY, and ON GREEN DOLPHIN STREET.

Artículos de prensa y fotografías; de Glenn Burgess; editados por Don Burgess: El ferrocarril Chihuahua al Pacífico de México es una de las obras de ingeniería que más retos ha presentado en la construcción de caminos y ferrocarriles: Concebido desde mediados del Siglo 19, no fue posible terminarlo e inaugurarlo sino hasta 1961. Glenn Burgess, fotoperiodista, realizó reportajes a lo largo de la construcción final, para periódicos de Texas, explorando la zona desde Ojinaga hasta Topolobampo, conociendo los retos de ingeniería y construcción, y las posibilidades que abría para diversos sectores de la economía, el comercio y el turismo. Sus fotografías, tomadas en blanco y negro con una cámara 4 X 5 Speed Graphic, son un importante documento de esta maravilla de la ingeniería. Don Burgess, residente en la región desde esos años, completa los artículos con aspectos históricos y personales, notas y entrevistas. El libro está ilustrado con más de 100 fotografías y mapas. Published in English as _Sierra Challenge: The Construction of the Chihuahua al Pacífico Railroad_. One of the most challenging engineering feats in railroad construction, the Chihuahua al Pacífico railroad of Mexico was conceived in the mid-19th century and opened in 1961. Photo-journalist Glenn Burgess covered the final construction for newspapers in Texas, exploring the engineering challenges and the possibilities for commerce. His black and white photographs taken with a 4x5 Speed Graphic camera provide an important record of this engineering wonder. Don Burgess adds both historical and personal context for the articles through notes and interviews with the peoples of the Sierra Tarahumara. The collection is illustrated with over 100 photographs and several maps.
