Memoir of Special Agent Charles Batsell Winstead (9781981180462)



Many people have never heard of Charles Batsell Winstead. Even fewer know that Charles left an unfinished memoir describing his life experiences from his youth until shortly before his death. Fewer still realize that Charles is the F.B.I. agent credited by J. Edgar Hoover with killing John Dillinger in front of the Biograph Theater in Chicago, Illinois the evening of July 22, 1934. Maude Aleene Savage, the second wife of Charles Winstead, inherited the memoir when Charles died and Maude's daughter, Patricia Thorn Jones, inherited the memoir from Maude. Several years ago Patricia, my first cousin once removed, donated the memoir to the Sherman Museum in Sherman, Texas, which is the current owner and custodian of the memoir. I want to thank The Sherman Museum very much for giving me the privilege of editing the unfinished memoir and putting it in a form that everyone interested can read and enjoy. What you are about to read would not be possible without the assistance of The Sherman Museum. I decided to present the memoir as the narration Charles gave when he used a reel to reel tape recorder to preserve his memories. I believe forming chapters for the memoir would disturb the flow of Charles Winstead's thoughts as he presented them. This taped narration was transcribed by a former high ranking F.B.I. Agent who was unfortunately killed in a hunting accident before he could edit the memoir and prepare it for publication. It has remained unedited and unfinished until now. The memoir has been edited only as needed to improve word flow, correct spelling and when possible complete partial sentences. The expressions used by Charles are maintained. As an example a "shooting scrape" remains a "shooting scrape" instead of being changed to the more recognizable term "gun fight."Sometimes Charles goes back and forth in time and sometimes he repeats himself but I am presenting the memoir as Charles dictated it. I am not inclined to re-arrange his thoughts.

Henri Cartier-Bresson : The Man, the Image and the World - A Retrospective (9780500542675)

Henri Cartier-Bresson is one of the finest image makers of our time. Born in 1908, he studied painting before embarking on a career in photography in the 1930s. In 1940 he was captured by the Germans and spent three years in prisoner-of-war camps before escaping to join the Paris underground. With Robert Capa, David Seymour and others, he founded the photographic agency Magnum in 1947. Since then his work has taken him all over the world - from Europe to India, Burma, Pakistan, China, Japan, Indonesia, Bali, Russia, the Middle East, Cuba, Mexico, the United States and Canada. This new collection of work by Cartier-Bresson, created on the occasion of his ninety-fifth birthday, provides the ultimate retrospective look at a lifetime's achievement.

Street Fonts : Graffiti Alphabets from Around the World (9780500294161)

Classic graffiti lettering and experimental typographical forms lie at the heart of street culture and have long inspired designers in many different fields. But graffiti artists, who tend to paint the same letters of their tag again and again, rarely design complete alphabets. Claudia Walde has spent over two years collecting alphabets by 154 artists from 30 countries with a view to showing the many different styles and approaches to lettering within the graffiti and street art cultures. All of the artists have roots in graffiti. Some are world renowned such as 123 Klan (Canada), Faith47 (South Africa) and Hera (Germany); others are lesser known or only now starting to emerge. Each artist received the same brief: to design all 26 letters of the Latin alphabet within the limits of a single page of the book. How they approached this task and selected the media with which to express their ideas was entirely up to them. The results are a fascinating insight into the creative process.
