Double feature starring Basil Rathbone as detective Sherlock Holmes. In 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' (1939), Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead with an expression of utter terror on his face, and the locals ascribe his demise to the ancient family curse - a hell-hound, said to roam the moors. With the aid of Doctor Watson (Nigel Bruce), Holmes sets out to discover whether there is any substance to the legend - before Sir Henry Baskerville, newly arrived from America to claim his inheritance, also falls prey to the family curse. In 'Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror' (1942), mysterious wireless broadcasts - apparently from Nazi Germany - are heard over the BBC airwaves. They warn of acts of terror in England, just before they take place. Baffled, the Defence Committee call in Holmes and his erstwhile assistant Doctor Watson to investigate...
J. Percy Priest and His Amazing Race is a gift from Rebecca Harris Stubbs to anyone interested in Tennessee history, American political history, and the heroes who made this country great. With previously unpublished letters, personal commentaries from Priest's friends and associates, and academic analysis extracted from local, state, and federal records, the author treats us to a light, often delightful, and distinctly tender narrative. She delves into the life of a former schoolteacher and journalist who entered Congress with an upset win after a mere eight-week campaign, and became a powerful committee chairman, an influential Congressional leader, and close friend of Billy Graham. Priest left a pronounced mark on Tennessee and American history, and his name is still associated with integrity, commitment, and honor more than fifty years after his untimely death at the age of fifty-six. For anyone in need of a reminder of what American hero means, this is a book that must be read.
